Son of a Samurai.

Admiral Togo was third SON of Togo
Sichizaemon, a samurai of the clan
,f Satsuma, and the father gave him
he name of Heihachiro He was born
It Kogoshima on the fourteenth day of
he teath moon of the year of grace

which by Interpretation means the

S6S A. D. That was also the birth
late of the new Nippon. After the
.acred tradition of a samurai family,
lis mother took him to the shrine of a
guardian deity and placed him upon

end the land of the gods. Like many

I PRETTY PARLOR TRICK.
Perform It Nicely After a
Few Hours Practice.

This is a neat and effective trick to
perform before a company Of men,
women and children, from whom you
can borrow the few materials you need.
These are silver half dollar, a large
wire hairpin, a heavy ring and long
hatpin, or "stickpin."
Bend the hairpin into the shape
shown in the picture. Force the half
dollar into the narrow hook on one end
Of the hairpin, which hook you have
pinched we'll together so that 1t will
grip the coin tightly, and hang the
ring on the other, more open hook.
Now balance the coin at point near
It's edge and in line with the two hooks
on the point of the hatpin, which you
bold vertically in your left hand.
You can always make it balance on
some point, but to make the trick ef-
Eective the pin should be very near the

cushion again, and whistled and
danced to that obstinate pin. But it
stayed right where it was. Then he
seized it once more, and tugged SO
hard that his tiny feet slipped and he
sat right down. Next he got up and
stared at it, then hoped to the edge
of the bureau and called again: Come
he-ere, come he-ere!"
/ could not tease him any longer,
and went to the rescue The moment
that pin was loose, Don seized it with
a happy chuckle. Hopping to the back
part of the bureau, he dropped the pin
down between it and the wall. 1t was
in disgrace, you know.
One day the dear little fellow had
been very busy indeed The cushion
had been freshly filled with pins. That
gave him great deal of work to do,
of course. The pins had all to be car.
ried to the edge of the bureau and
dropped overheard. That task fin
ished, he went into his house to get
his dinner.
l went to work to pick up the pins,
telling Don that he was a naughty
bird to make me so much trouble. It
seemed as if he understood every
word. At once he stopped eating his
seeds, came out and peeped at me
over the edge of the bureau. Then
down he came, making steps of my
head shoulder and arm until he
reached the floor. And there the dear
little bird hurried around with all his
might, picking up the pins. He flew
up to the cushion, laid them down and
came back for more, until they were
all gathered up. Then he sat on my
chair, whistled his tune and finally
went to sleep.-Helen Harcourt, in st
Nicholas

But he never played about the ROOM
when was away. He was too sor-
rowful for that. His favorite haunt.
next to my head or shoulders, was my
bureau. He loved to hop all over T.;
but he loved best of all to mount the
big, fat pincushion. It was such fine
fun to pull out the pins and drop them
on the bureau scarf. Sometimes he
carried them to the edge of the bu-
reau and dropped them on the floor.
One day l bent the point of a large
pin and twisted it well into the cush-
ion. 1t was rather naughty, to be
sure, but 1 wished to see what Don
would do about it. The other pins
came out and were dropped as usual.
Then came the tug of war" The poor
little bird pulled and pulled. and
tugged and tugged. The big pin
moved, but did not come out. He put
his head on one side and eyed it Sc
verely. He was not one of the "give
up" sort. He had made up his mind
to conquer that pin. He worked very
hard for at least ten minutes. Then
the plaintive Come he-ere, come
he-ere!" rang out.
l waited to see what he would do
next. And what do you think? He
thought a little, then mounted the

DON LOVED HIS MISTRESS
Clever Little Bullfinch More Demon
strative Than Are Many
Boys or Girls.

Don was very unhappy when was
out OF sight. His cage was hung at
nrst IN a glass conservatory, where ne
had sunshine, flowers and two canary
0lrds for company. But he did not
care for thean. He wanted something
else. He was silent and moping. So
the loving little bird was made happY
by being placed in my room upstairs.
1t was wonderful how soon he
learned to distinguish my step. Often
his clear, sweet tune could be heard
pouring from his dainty throat. Or
perhaps he was silent. 1t was all the
same. The instant my step sounded
In the hall below or on the stairs. the
whistle ceased, or the silence was
broken. Come he-ere, come he-ere
come he-ere!" was the eager cry. OF
course / always did come he-ere. u
And then the delight of the dear lit
tie fellow was touching. Down he
jumped to the door of his cage post
haste. Then, putting out like a ball
he bowed right and left, dancing to
and fro as IL wound up to run fol-
hours. And such q sweet piping as
there was, too!

edge of the coin, SO if the ring is not
very heavy you may have to borrow
another one and slip it in the hook
beside the first. Or you can use a light
ring and substitute a quarter for the
half dollar
Now. If you blow against the ring
the whole affair will turn on its pivot.
and by giving good puff every time
the ring comes round you can make
1t spin very fast and keep on spinning
long time. If the hatpin is very
sharp and Of very hard steel it will
gradually bore hole in the coin. In
deed, 1t is possible TO bore clear
through soft coin in this way.
OF coupse you should practice this
trick before you try it in public. Then,
II the ring is a brass one and the coin
your own, you can give your merry-go-
round to the youngsters, who will have
lots of fun with it-Chicago Inter

HOW THE FROG ORIGINATED
Thirsty Woman Was Prevented
from Getting a Drink.

Did you ever hear how frogs origi
mated? 1t is queer story, but they
it happened long time ago, when the
world was young and all sorts of queer
things were happening. We can, O,
course, believe as much or as little O.,
such stories as we please, but at least
they entertain US.
Now as TO the frogs, they came into
being because weary, thirsty woman
was prevented from getting q drink OF
water. Here is the way the story Is
told:
Latona was beautiful goddess, who
lived with the other goddesses and gods
on Mt. Olympus, where Jupiter and
Juno reigned, as you know She was
distinguished for many things, but
chiefly for being the mother of Apollo
and Diana. 1t seems that she incurred
the Ill will of Juno in some way and
was banish ID from Olympus, with no
place to put her foot and no shelter
for her weary head, for Juno had made
Terra, the earth, promise that she
should not find rest anywhere
Neptune, the god of the sea, how
ever, took pity on the banished goddess
and invited her to the Isle of Delos
which then f1oated under the water bu'
rose to the surface at his command
There she found peace and comfort ant
brought up her two famous children
Apollo to become the god OF the sur
and Diana the goddess of the moon.
But perhaps you are wondering wha
all this has to do with the frogs. 1t il
rSaid that one day while Latona wa.
wandering desolate and weary with he
children, while they were yet babies
she came to pool Of clear, sparkling
water. Half dying with thirst, god
dess as she was, she ran toward thf
pool to drink some of the cool water
but crowd Of ugly yokels surrounde,
1t and kept her away.
She had up to this time borne he
privations and sufferings with patienc.
and resignatiun, but at this act OF wan
ton cruelty her patience gave way ans
turning furiously on the yokels sh,
turned them all into croaking frogs
which they have remained to this day

SUGAR PLANT IN HAWAII.
One to Be Erected Will Be the Largest
in the World, Says Recent
Report.

The Honolulu iron works has been
awarded the contract to build for
Alexander & Baldwin's sugar planta-
ton, at Makeweli, the biggest sugar
mill in the world. 1t will be twelve
roller mill, with revolving cane-cutters,
and Krajetski-Pesant cane-crusher,
says the Honolulu Bulletin. Mr.. Hede-
mann, of the Honolulu iron works, when
asked about the contract said:
'The new Makaweli sugar plant will
consist of a 34-inch by 7S-inch Kraje-
tewski-Pesant cane-crusher, all driven
by two Corliss engines. This is, per-
haps, the most complete milling outfit
in the world and it is gratifying to nots
that the Hawaiian Sugar company, by
its board of directors and its president,
H. P. Baldwin, have manifested such
progressive and enterprising spirit In
establishing this advance and elaborats
machinery installation in order to OBJ
tain the highest possible results"
All of this machinery, excepting the
engines, will be built by the Honolulu
Iron Works company in the shops Of
Kakaako. The contract was awarded
and builders.
''The new machinery" said Mr. Hede.
mann, will displace the only remain.
Ing diffusing plant in the islands, ana
1t will be erected in new steel struc-
ture building during the year 1905, and
be in operation on the increased crop
of 1906. To our knowledge there Is but
one other 12-roller mill In the world IN
operation. This is the original nine
roller mill at Oahu plantation, which
was'converted last year by the Honolulu
iron works, under the direction of Mr..
Lorenz. the consulting engineer for H.
Hackf1eld & Co., into a 12-roller mill.
In the Oahu mill exceptional high trac.
tion has been obtained during the sea-
son. with increased capacity, and no
extra fuel used. The Oahu plantation
mill has also furnished power for 200
horse power electric plant for outside
purposes, all by the use Of bagasse a

TREE PLANTING IN MANILA:
Strong Feeling in Favor Of an Arbos
Day Manifested in the Philip
pine City.

A day for the planting Of trees Is nos
among the least of Manila's needs, not
because forests are in danger Of be-
cies should be perpetuated in this way.
but because the city is dry, dusty and
less inviting than it would be with orna-
mental trees. We need trees and
breathing places; they you'd add much
10 the physical comfort of the city a.
well as artistic value, says the Manila
Times.
Who does not breathe a sigh Of re-
lief as he leaves the hot glare that en-
shrouds the Bridge of Spain and finds
himself protected by the shade from the
fringe of trees along the Bagumbayanf
There is certainly no reason why that
popular drive should not be more COM
pactly lined with trees along its entire
length, except that what is everybody'a
business is not usually attended to with
any noticeable expedition. There 10
Just slight risk that in the rush ana
hurry of practical municipal develop
ment the esthetic may be relegated to
an obscure corner. With but little eff
the practical and artistic may be hap
PLY blended, while If the latter feature
Is permitted to lag 1t will be more diff
dcult to secure the desired result after
considerable delay.
A lawn around the public buildingA
when proper space can be secured,
palms at the street entrance, border
OF grass parallel to the sidewalk, will
double the attractiveness of a modern
building. A noticeable and commend
able step in the direction indicated has
been made about the new government
building on the Bagumbayan driveway.
Let this feature be extended to other
buildings which now appear rather des
olate and scorched in comparison.
In the new districts of Ermita. Malats
and Paco there should and probably
will, be concerted action on the part
Of each householder to leave a certain
amount of space for a proper lawn ane
ornamental shrubbery. A slight effort
on the part of each would soon change
street from a hot. bare roadway to an
inviting vista of green. not only adding
pleasure but profit to the residence por.
tion of the city.
Introduce arbor day into the schools:
united action for one day in the year
would soon bring telling results. We
are in position to do now, cheaply ant
easily, what later will have to be done
by legislation, at far greater expense
or left undone to the detriment Of the
general appearance and health Of our
city.
