I back and take another nap; for the foraging
at least. The chipmunks will be getting
active, too, for they never sleep so sound
as the woodchucks do, and it will not be
long before we hear the startled chip
from some venturesome little hackhee,
darung back to his burrow as pass by
through the woods And the big black
bear, lean and hungry, will be leaving her
den before long to seek food for herself
and her cubs, and woe to the lesser creature
which crosses her path, for she is not veg

The gray squirrels, which have been seen
only off and on during the harder part of
the winter, will soon be busy every day

ago, or nibbling the tender buds of the

who makes the loud piping they hear in the
swamps. To be sure, on this point, all one
has to do is TO go down 10 the marsh when
the frogs are peeping and after wading
into the water, stand perfectly still. Your
approach will have been a signal for all the
musicians to cease but after a time, first
one and then another Will start their pipes.
Single out one particular voice, and ever
so gently, move in the direction of ii. If the
piping ceases, stand perfectly still until
it begins again, and then advance as be-

object which pulsates at more or less regu-
lar intervals. At each pulsation you will
hear a shrill peep" and you will know
that you have found what you sought.
Slowly and carefully put out your hand,

trace cross of a darker shade. If YOU

A POWER ON THE THRONE.
Japan's MikadO Is More Than an
Oriental Figurehead.
Kansas City Star.

Kansas City star.
Comparatively few foreigners have seen
the Mikado of Japan closely. In spite of its
wonderful advance in Occidental ideas in re-
cent years, Japan retains enough of it's Or
ientalism to insist upon certain seclusion
for its ruler. Mutsuhito breaks away from
his purely Oriental environment occasional
ly. He goes among his people iRcognito.
While strolling through the streets Of Toxic
as a young man attired as a common Japa-
nese sailor MutsuhitO encountered the first
American he had ever seen. Walking boldly
up 10 the son of Uncle SAM" the boy en-
perOr introduced himself as a young sailor,
and finding the American could speak
little japanese. he poured forth a food of
eager questions. The traveller from the
United States told the supposed sailor
wonderful tale of the results of American
civilization. The imperial ambition re-
ceived new stimulus. and that interview
with an American accomplished much for
Japan.
Mutsuhito-Tenwo. Emperor of Japan, is
the present representative of the oldest
royal dynasty eXtant. He Is the 121st En-
peror of his dynasty which dates back
in an unbrolken line 2555 years. he is the
direct descendant of Ginmu, the Divine
ConquerOr." who. according to Japanese
mythology, descended from heaven on
the white bird of the Clouds. Ginmu's
first task in his NEUROLOGICAL role of divine
conqueror was the subjugation of the

scendants are still found in the northern

49, would be found sowing his seed
when the thermometer stood at fifteen be-
low zero, and when the snow lay three
feet deep upon the ground, yet under these
conditions nature is sowing myrlads of
seeds of the berry-bearing shrubs and
creepers. She employs as her sewers the
grouse, the pine grosbeaks, the red polls and
many other birds, which at this season
live chiefly on the pulp of the berries, and
afterwards distribute the undigested seeds
through the forest, thus securing a per-
petuation of the shrubs whose berries they
eat, and providing winter food for future
generations of grouse and pine grosbeaks
and redpolIs.
If you walk across the swamps at this
season, and look down where the ice is
thin and clear, you will not see lifeless
brown mass of decaying vegetation, but a
living army of plants looking upward hope
fully at the light above them and waiting,
perhaps impatiently, for a FORWARD,
march," from nature, that they may ad-
vance upon wavering winter.
Nor is il necessary to visit the swampS
to be aware of the preparation for spring.
Look at the treetops and note that swell
ing buds give the branches a rosy hue;
notice that the willows are turning a golden
yellow, and that many of the shrubs are
taking on a purple tinge In sheltered
places the pussy willows are showing their
silky, silvery paws, and rarely we may find
in some very well-protected spot an odd
spring flower in bloom. In fact amongst
all the plants of forest, field and swamp,
there is a whisper, not too loud, but quite
audible, that the spring is on the way.
Many of the animals, too, are aware OF
the approach of winters end. and they
show it. The skunk, who, some six weeks
ago. retired TO his burrOw well lined with
fat and who has snooZed through the time
of bitter weather and deep snow, now
comes out every night, and we may find his
footprints after every snowfall They are
