STORIES ABOUT RAVENS.
Fidelity to Mates and Their Queer
Companionship.

From the Nineteenth Century.
The raven always pairs for life. and the
strength of affection, the fidelity, the dig
nifty which this implies seem to me to raise
him indefinitely, as it does the owls above
birds which congregate in fiocks, and SO
abjure family ties and duties through
greater part of the year.
A raven kept at the "Old Bear inn at
Hungerford struck close friendship with
a Newfoundland dog. When the dog broke
his leg the raven waited on him constantly
catered for him, forgetting for the time his
own greediness, and rarely, If ever, left his
side. One night when the dog was by acct
dent shut within the stable alone, Ralph
succeeded in pecking a hole through the
door, all but large enough to admit his
body.
Another, kept in a yard in which a big
basket sparrow trap was sometimes set
favorite corner, and managed, when the
trap fell, to lift it up, hoping to get at
the sparrows within. They, of course es-
capped before he could drop the trap. But
taught by experience, he opened communi-
cations with another tame raven in an ad-
joining yard. and the next time the trap
fell, while one of them lifted it up, the
other bounced upon the quarry.
female raven, known a that time to be
sixty years of age, and who had passed
much of her early and middle life with a
strange companion. blind porcupine. was
given, in the year 1854. by Mr.. j. III. Cur
ney, the well-knowrf ornithOlogist, to the
rector of Bluntisham in Huntingdonshire.
She seemed so disconsolate at the loss of
her surroundings that her new owner, fail
ing to get another raven managed to
cure seagull for her as a companion.
warm friendship soon sprang up between
the two birds. They followed one another
about everywhere, and the raven often
used to treat her companion to pieces of
putrid meat which she had buried for her
own consumption in the strawberries. These
were delicacies in the eyes of the raven.
but they were not SO good for the gull In
course of time, whether from indigestion or
not. the gull fell i'll and the raven became
more aSsiduous than ever in her attentions
never leaving him and plying him with her
most nauseous tit-bits The gull grew
worse. as was perhaps natural under the
treatment, and less companionable and one
day, when he positively refused to touch a
more unsavory morsel than usual, which
the raven had denied to herself and doubt
less thought to be a panacea, the raven, in
a fit Of fury at the ingratitude of her pa
tient, fell upon her friend. killed it. tore 1t
to pieces. and burying half of 1t for future
consumption, devoured the rest.

CONQUERED PREJUDICE.
How Register Lyons Won Case IN
His Early Practice.

Register of the Treasury Lyons was ono
of the first colored men admitted to the bar
in my state" said well-known lawyer of
Atlanta at the Metropolitan. Il am dem
ocrat of the rankest kind, but l confess
that admire his rise Lyons practice was
a success from the time he was admitted.
and remember that very early in his ca
reer he was employed in a case involving
the ownership Of pair of mules. The case
was to be heard in small town some dis
lance from Augusta, Lyons home
when the colored lawyer appeared on
the scene there was considerable comment
over the fact that a niger had come there
TO practice before the court. Lyons SAID
he intended to win the case regardless OF
what was said about his being coiored
man: that he knew he had law and justice
on his side and that he did not believe his
color would have anything to do with 1t.
The Young lawyer who was to go against
of a niger winning a case over him. but
Lord bless you, when Lyons got through
examining the witnesses and made his ar
gument he had covered the ground CON-
pletely The opposing counsel, a young fell
low not long out of college ranted around
at some length and poked jibes at the mig
ger lawyer but Lyons had handled the
case so admirably that the jury gave YER
dict for his client. Naturally the young
he appealed the case to a higher court.
where the decision of the lower court was
affirmed.
This settled him, for he withdrew from
practice altogether. and died a few weeks
afterward. I don't say that his defeat sby a
colored lawyer killed him. but do know
that he took 1t very hard"

LIFE OF JAPANESE WOMEN.
"New Woman" Appearing in the Land
of the Rising Sun.

From the Young Woman.
Until recent years Japanese women were
given little chance of taking part in the
general life of the nation. But since the
great awakening in 1868, when Japan be-
gan to adapt all that she found must
worthy in western civilization to her own
use, the position of her women has under
gone great change. The facilities for ed
ucation and the quality of the instruction
they now receive can bear comparison with
anything provided for women in the most
advanced countries in the west japanese
girls, even of the poorest classes, receive
an education which, entirely free and I'M
UNCONVENTIONAL, is quite equal to that i'm
parted to the children in those nations
which are foremost in the matter of edu-
cation, such as Germany, America, Hol
land, Sweden or Switzerland, and far SUI
perior in it's system to that iobtainable by
the majority of British girls of the same
class A good university for women has
recently been established in Toxic, and is
largely attended.
According to Mr.. Diosy, it seemed likely
at once that the new woman would obtain
a foothold in Japan When the sudden
change from the old feudalism to modern
methods caused so many of the ancient
landmarks to disappear the new woman
made her appearance for a season in the
there was even a female lawyer in Toxic.
But now that the conditions of life are set
Ting down, such abnormal developments
have almost entirely died out There are,
nevertheless, many female clerks, and the
telephone exchanges are also served by
girls, but with this misunderstanding
in favor of the far eastern community
that the Japanese telephone girl is ever
alert, has, like nearly all her sisters, a de-
lightful, silvery voice, speaks most clearly.
and never allows her utterance to be thick
ened by mouthfuls of bread and butter, a
delfcacy unknown to Japanese women.
1t would be mistake to think that be-
cause the life of Japanese women is so en-
tirely devoted to duty no margin is left for
recreation. There are no merrier or more
pleasure-loving women in the wide world:
but their amusements are Of simple and
inexpensive character The chief delight
lies in simple games such,a are played in
the family circle OF with intimate friends,
and in the observance eof the numerous
festivals, which occur at least once a
month, all of them connected with the love
Of what is beautiful int nature-the flow
ering of certain plants, the beauty of sun
sets, of newly fallen s1iow-and these
are enjoyed by rich and poor alike. They
show great facility in poetical composition
and at a family party they love to sit in
a circle, each one in, turn. .eXtemporizing
a little poem on some event of the day,
and such subjects births and marriages.
home comings and Journeys are a fruitful
source of inspiration.
