In expressing similar thought the Jap goes us one better so far as pie turesqueness is concerned. He says, If you keep tigers you are likely to have trouble" One of our standard maxims is to the effect that "oil and water won't mix" The Japs have not improved on this. "You can't rivet a nail in a custard" is their way of put ting it. "The lotus springs from the mud" is their poetical expression of the common thought that "out of evil good may come."
 What could be more suggestive and at the same time so poetic as their Scattering a fog with a fan?" When a Jap undertakes the impossible his neighbors do not scof at him or mock him.

 Some years ago Japan was neither SO free nor so friendly with other nations as she is today. In those old days. when a foreign ship entered the Japa- nese ports, the captain was obliged to place his Bible and rudder fin charge of the chief officer of the port and leave them there until he was ready to sail. Of course he wouldn't sail without either. and the Japs could easily keep tabs on the movements of all ships in their harbors.

heavier. To tighten them and perhaps for ornament it came to be the prae- tice to perforate them with holes sym metrically arranged, and 1t is pretty safe to assume that the development of this idea would gradually lead to the spoked wheel with a central hub.
 Of course all this was in a very re- mote past, for as far as history goes back wheelwrights knew how to build war chariots and other vehicles with spoked wheels and metal tires very skillfully and ornamentally made. Thus, although we cannot always trace the thing step by step, there cannot be much doubt that something like the line we have indicated must have been followed in the development of the modern carriage wheel from those rollers underneath the winged bull, which may date perhaps from a period 4,OOO years before the Christian era. The spoked, iron bound wheel having emerged from the obscurity of the past, no further advance was made until within living memory.
 With the introduction of the private "coach" the wheelwright's trade be- came a very important industry. but the chief desideratum was Eot any new form. but solidity and durability. For generations after the introduction of the "coach" English roads were ex- ecrable, and wheels that would stand any amount of rough travelling were the great aim of the wheelwright. For very many years nobody seemed to think of adapting roads to wheels, but only of building wheels that would stand the roads. Then came the cogged wheels of the first tram line and then the Hanged wheels of the modern rail- way.
 But no radical change was effected in the ordinary road wheel until some time after the introduction of the bicy- cle The first of the old bone shakers had good, strong, iron bound wheels, warranted to respond to every little bump and hollow in the road most conscientiously. These soon gave way to the solid india rubber tire, which had it's little day and was a very de- cided improvement upon everything that had gone before 1t. Solid india rubber, however, could prove no match for a tire of compressed air, and in the achievement of the pneumatic periph- cry with ball bearings it looks at present as though the long course of wheel development that began in the dim and dreamy past may surely have come to an end.-London Standard.

A Homeless Taak.

Scottish folk are proverbially canny and prudent in money matters, and the following shows that the younger generation is no exception to the rule: A teacher in a lowland school was taking mental arithmetic with a class of boys. She asked one urchin:

EAGLE AND STURGEON.
The King of Birds and King of Fish
 In n Death CIinch.

| We had been camped for few days at point on the upper reaches of the Pic river, waiting for a few of the party who were running side line. A source of amusement was watching the descent of large baldheaded eagle in the eddy back of the point. He would strike the water with great force, coming down from an inn mense height. At times he would dive under the surface to reappear mo- ment or two later generally with a fish clutched in his claws, when he would fly (freighted with his fish) to a very high mountain, on the over hanging crest of which the nest with his mate and young were quite visible to us with our field glass.
 I had noticed his success and jour- neys to the nest for two mornings. On the third morning a shadow coming across the suns rays caused me to look up and there was the great bird at his usual hunt to supply the young eagles with breakfast. With his keen eye piercing the river depths he poised over q particular spot for few mo-
 
 velocity of cannon ball.
 The waters parted and the eagle was lost to view. l watched and waited to see him emerge with his prey, but mo- ments heightened into minutes, and minutes into quarter of an hour, but the surface of the water remained un- disturbed.
 What could it mean? Even if he had struck himself against some hid den rock and been killed the body would have floated to the surface. It passed my reasoning powers to solve the result of that plunge. Then far down, fully quarter of mile off, saw the great bird struggling, either to carry off a heavy burden or to free himself from one. The waters were lashed into foam and the bird again disappeared, and all was still.
 This flashing of the water and dis appearing were repeated again and again. each time farther downstream. A bend in the river prevented my seeing the final result. Calling one of our men from the tent. we embark ed in a canoe and started down the rltSE lO' ' lI" tuc SIIuhSC piOSCCuAAi6 closer. When we had doubled the point below I saw lodged against the beach in small bay something that did not look natural to the place. We padded down and found it was my ea- gle fast fixed to sturgeon fully six feet long. Both were motionless. The king of fish and the king of birds had met death.-Forest and Stream.

Muaic and Character.

Herbert Spencer considers that the taste for music, which Is largely emo tional, Is in so full sense a test of character that 1t is inherited with cu- mulative intensity by successive gen. erations. This naturally leads us on to the conclusion that races are more intimately affected by its charms than individuals.
 To take particular instance, we can but notice that the Germans, who, with few exceptions, are musical to their finger tips, are in consequence notable for habitual cheerfulness and for other moral qualities which give tone to their domestic life.
 We may notice, on the other hand, that love of music does not neces- sarily go with artistic sense or strength of character. The Russians are most musical, but they have not, as a rule. any marked appreciation of art, while the Japanese, whose delicate instinct for art is proverbial, are but little in- fiuenced by music. Nero's devotion to his fiddle and Napoleon's indifference to music are also instances that there is no general rule on this point.
