JAPANESE ROYAL WEDDING.
Marriage of Crown Prince of the Flow
cry Kingdom-Tokio Gay with
Floral Arches.

The royal wedding of the crown
prince of Japan, some four years ago,
was celebrated with national rejoic-
ing, writes Florence Eldridge in her
article on "Yoshihito, Crown Prince of
Japan" in Pearson's. The city of
Toxic was transformed into veritable
fair ground with arches of flowers, feS-
rivals, numerous professions and con-
gratulatory emblems. A new postage
stamp was issued to commemorate
the happy day. Thousands of people
thronged the streets and gathered to
see the imperial procession pass, stand
ing respectfully with heads reverently
bowed when the cortege appeared
The costumes worn by the imperial
bride and bridegroom during the cere-
mony were fashioned after the court
dresses of centuries ago. The dress of the
crown prince was a flowing robe of satin,
with silken breeches seven feet in length,
that trailed on the ground behind him
embroidered on sleeves, back and breast
with his crest. With this he wore a
cap of black, vanished material, bound
by fillet of gold, with long stream
er off stiff wire ribbon hanging from
the back; this cap was kept in place
by a light-colored silk cord which,
passing once over the top of the head,
was brought down and tied under the

lasted so long, and we jeered and chated
poor Jim so increasingly, that he finally
became careless or reckless of conse-
quences, and allowed his legs to hang
loosely, his heels unlocked from their
hold. It was but moment, now, be-
fore Mrs. Mule realized that her time
had come, and was not slow to take adj
vantage of it, for we saw huge black
shape go sprawling over our heads and
land in the deep sink dug in rear of
the company kitchen.
AS Jim Strengthened up out of his
disgusting bath, and clambered out,
smeared from head to foot, the ex-
preston on his face was enough to
convulse corpse, and at the roar that
went up from the hundreds who had
witnessed the feat, Jim turned up his
eyes, and, with muttered curse at the
mule, he fastened off to his wagon, and
was never, to my knowledge, known to
boast of his prowess as rider of vi
cious horses or mules. The writer had
no further use for such playful ami
NAL, so turned her loose.

heavy flowing beard and he and the other
field officers were good riders and were
we'll mounted. But when the confeder-
ate column struck the union regiment
it seemed to me that the colonel and his
men were literally swallowed up.
"The confederate column did not stop.
It came rushing on like great machine,
running over and crushing the life out of
the regiment in it's front. We saw the
colonel and his horse go down in the in
slant that the lieutenant colonel, major
and lieutenant were blotted out of the
picture. AS the confederate column
swept on the field behind it seemed COW
cred with dead horses and men. But as
the confederate column came nearer us
we saw men in blue running with it on
the flank, and alittle later saw this line
of blue diverge, form, and blaze away at
the men with whom they had been run
ming.
"Then, looking back over the field, we
saw men clustering like cartridges about

came the whiskered colonel and his

hanged if that colonel didn't mount his
horse, out there in the rear of the con-
federate line, and gathering his men
about him start at gallop in pursuit of
the fellows who had run over him. He
hadn't more than so men with him, but
he seemed to think he was chasing the
whole confederate army right into our
hands. The confederates, moving not
directly against our front, but oblique.
ly, as il, projected against a point to our
left, came upon us like an avalanche, but
the regular brigade gave them such re-
ception that they veered off and the big
whiskered colonel, with his partridge
formation of fighters, was persuaded to
give up his rear chase and come through
our lines just in time to escape a second
charge that left scores of our men dead
in line.
Nov many of our boys never saw this
big whiskered colonel at all, and never
believed that he came to our lines in
the rear of charging confederate col
umn, but l watched him through the
glass, from start to finish, and his rear
chase of a confederate brigade, SO times
as strong as his own force, was one of the
most mysterious happenings at Stone

Thy full proportions nomely grace
What sturdy health they seem TO speak,
How beams with cheerful smiles thy

Oh. let the orange haunt ner gold,
The peach her bloom seductive show,
The grape display her purple bold.
The cherry prank in gaudy glow

Pomona's pride New England's joy;
Thy devotee I'll ever be
To latest days, as when boy.

A DEFEATED MULE RIDER.
Jim Said It Was easy When You
Know How" But He Got
the Lofty Toss.

When the First Connecticut H. A.
placed their batteries in position at
the defenses back from Harrison's
Landing, on the James river, after the
notable seven days retreat" the
writer went one day to spring in a
field outside the breastworks, for wa

and, having lost my horse q few days
previously, l thought it good chance
to supply myself with mount, writes
Walter T. Sage, in the National Tribune.
therefore quietly approached, and
had little difficulty in capturing Mrs.
Mule, somewhat to my surprise, as she
appeared TO be quite young and high
spirited. AS she had nothing but a
rope about her neck, | took turn
about her lower jaw, and, leading her
to the fence, jumped on her back. l
professed myself to be quite an eques-
trian, but | had barely touched her
back before / found myself on my
back, on the ground. Nightly aston
ished and full of anger at the ease with
which it was done, | again led her 10
the fence, and, making careful prepara-
tons, again mounted her, but had no
chance to get my heels together under
her belly ere l once more went sailing
through the air, coming down with a
force that convinced me that I'd had
a "genteel sufficiency," as the saying
goes. While thinking over the mules
ability as first-class contortionist,
remembered the many boastful utter
ances. of our darby wagon driver, jim,
who really was aremarkably good driver,
and thought there was some prospect
of fun ahead, SO | led Mrs. Mule to
camp, tied her to tree in rear OF camp,
and hunted up Jim, first informing my
comrades of the fun at hand, as well
as the men in the infantry supporting
the batteries and arranging that they
should gather around, apparently by
chance. l offered Jim if he would
break in the mule SO l could ride her,
& five-dollar bill, and he was as vain
as a peacock over my f1attering men
ton of his abilities as rider, and
proudly assured me he could certain
ly do it for shuah." We held the mule,
tie skirmishing around, and cinching
her up tightly, he put on his great
Mexican spurs, and, taxing a short,
thick whipstock from his wagon, he
mounted, while half a dozen of us
held her firm. Jim locked his spurs
together under her belly, and with a
bread grin and the remark of how
"eacy it was to ride mule, if you
only knew how" told us to let go. For
about two minutes we hardly knew
where Jim and the mule we're, or what
they were doing, but concluded they
had something to do with the cloud Of
dust that was rising SO thickly all
about us. Presently the dust COM
menced to settle, and we discovered
them in pretty near the same position
in which we had last seen them, Jim
still in the saddle, the mules legs
braced out, and she now refusing to
move IN any direction, although jim
now used both whip and spur. This

OWNS LINCOLN'S GLASSES
Watertown IN. " Woman Has Spec
tacles Worn by the Martyr
President.

A cherished treasure of Mrs. Andrew
B. Carter, of Watertown, N. Y, is pair
of spectacles formerly worn and owned
by Abraham Lincoln. They were found
in his pocket at the time he was shot by
John Wilkes Booth in Ford's theater, in
Washington, April IA, 1865.
Mrs. Carter's father, William H. H.
Keyes, was a private in one of the regi-
ments quartered, in Washington then,
and was on duty at the theater on the
night of the tragedy. He was one of the
detail that guarded the passage through
which the dying president was carried
from the theater. AS Lincoln was placed
in the carriage the spectacles slid from
his pocket into the gutter, and before
Keyes could restore them the carriage
had driven away. Keyes afterward
sent them to his wife, Mrs. Carriers
mother, and they have since remained
in the family. The glasses are of the
old-fashioned kind, with heavy gold
bows and octagonal oblong glasses.

The Yankee Scored

A London paper, speaking of the
American INVASION" relates that an
enterprising Yankee came over to Eng
land and decided to open shop in Bir-
mingham. He obtained premises next
door to man who also kept a shop
of the same description, but was not
very pushing in his business methods.
The methods of the Yankee. however
caused the older trader to wake up
and, with the spirit of originality
strong upon him, he affixed a notice
over his shop with the words: "Estab-
lished so years." painted in large let
tiers. Next day the Yankee replied to
this, with a notice over his own store
to this effect: Established yesterday;
no old stock"

GIVE THE BOYS POULTRY.
One Way of Inducing Children to
Work Contentedly and Hap
PLY on the Old Farm.

AS usual, there is loud complaint from
farmers that the children brought up on
the farm are getting uneasy and want to
try their wings elsewhere. This is not to
be wondered at when these young people
hear and read of what is going ON in the
world. The monotony of country life
seems unbearable to. them, especially
when from the farm they obtain only
plenty of hard work, the food they eat
and the clothes the wear True. one
may say that is about all anyone gets
out of life, but if we can plan some way
by which the young people can make a
start for themselves they will be mucl
more contented.
The indianapolis News thinks that
poultry offers way of trying out the
feeling of the young folks at small ex-
pense. Give them a chance to raise
poultry and have the proceeds for their
own use, and in year or two they will
have become reconciled to country life
and be willing to make it their future or
they will have shown their utter lack of
adaptability for it, in which case the
best thing for them and for the parent
is to let them leave the farm and take
up the work for which they are better
fitted, but don't lose your grasp on the
young people without first giving them
a chance to do for themselves on the
farm and show what is in them.

WOMAN'S VARIOUS CHARMS
Most Captivating Character
istics of the Fair Sex.

Animation, brightness, vivacity are
some of woman's most captivating
charms A tear may move pity, but it
Is smile that commands admiration.
Even a witty woman must not be for
ever sparkling-that is monotonous
and wearying; the perpetual flashing
OF diamonds tires the eyes and the
brain. She must have her sober mo-
ments, If only to throw into higher
relief the moments when she is gay.
A woman is most charming when she
is tender and sympathetic. She may
dazzle when she is merry, but when
she is gentle and full of sympathy she
enchonts a mans heart. When her
voice takes a softened tone, and her
eyes look words that her lips hesitate
to say-then, if she only knew her
power, it would be time of peril for
the world at large! She could do with
1t what she chose; only she never
knows It. Probably she charms the
most when she is most unconscious OF
her power. The very unconsciousnes
Is part of the charm. A woman is
always charming when she is good.
natured Bad temper never charmed.
Sarcasm may amuse when it is di-
rected against some one else, but 1t
does not win anyone's heart Good
temper is an attraction even in a plain
woman. When a woman has that in
addition to her other qualities-when
she is natural in her manners, uncon-
scious, lively, tender and gentle-then,
indeed, she is charming to all the
world. Sometimes she possesses a
quality known as fascination, which no
one has ever yet been able to define
quality outside OF and beyond all the
attractions above mentioned, and inde-
pendent of them to the ordinary eye
But with this fascination very good
substitute may be formed from the
qualities already enumerated, and
many woman can cultivate these
graces and make herself charming in
the eyes of all who know her.-N. Y.

WASTE MUST BE STOPPED.
Many Farmers Fail Because They Do
Not Practice ANY Rational sys-
tenn of Fertilizing.

On the average the American farmer
wastes each year more than enough to
keep his family Enormous wastes are
going on in many ways, but the greatest
one is the waste of farm-fertility.
Preserve what fertility is already in
the soil and put more in it. 1t may be
that some farmers do not know the value
of manure, as some are giving it away
in order to get it out of the way. Others
are burning the straw-stacks instead of
using the straw for bedding, which would
increase the value of the manure. know
this from observation. Farmers waste
much of the value OF manure by putting
It in piles in the barnyard, and letting it
take the weather for months. If the
yard happens to be near creek or pond,
a great part of the fertility finds its way
into it, and probably one-half Of its value
is lost.
think that II some of our farmers
could visit among the rural population
of Germany, and note their methods for
saving manure, most of them would take
a lesson home with them. Most of the
German farmers are successful and
their success seems to be due to the care
full saving and applying Of fertility.
Why cannot we stop this waste by
saving and applying all the manure, by
keeping more live stock, by cultivatina
our soil properly and retaining the ele-
ments of fertility, and by studying the
subject and applying the thoughts
gained? We must stop this waste il
we want our land to be kept in high
state of fertility.-E. ]. Waterstripe, in
Farm and Fireside.
