JAPANESE NEWYEAR POEMS

Every New Year the emperor and
empress Of Japan celebrate the day
with an original poem. This year we
print the poems which recently ap-
peared in the Kokunin Shimbun and
are translated by Mr.. Lloyd, one Of our
valued japanese correspondents. Mr..
Lloyd writes that he takes the emper-
or's poem to be another way Of saying
that God is our help in ages past and
our hope for years to come and the
empress poem to express her gratitude
for the many tokens Of practical SYM
patty which she has been able to see
around her:
BY HIS MAJESTY MUTSUHITO, EMPEROR OF
JAPAN.
The gods that rule our land from ancient
years
Will take the ancient precedents to shape
The course Of our new age.
By HER MAJESTY HARUKO, EMPRESS OF
JAPAN.
Throughout the land one voice sounds
loud and clear
As from one soul. possessed by one deep
thought
To bear the suffering peoples heavy load.

Advice is received from publish
ing house in Ohio that there will
shortly be issued book describing
all forms of diseases and telling how
to treat sudden attacks of one kind or
another until expert medical aid can
be summoned. Books like these have
been published since printing was
first invented, and they answer
good purpose. Human sympathy re-
spends quickly to human ills and in
time of sickness suggested remedies
fly thick and fast. 1t is wise mother
who keeps herself well informed con-
cerning the simple remedies that may
be used in the home to allay suffer
ing. She has always been the first
aid to the injured" but it is doubtful
if the mothers of the future are going
to be as ready to meet emergencies.
There is a constant tendency to me-
glect the little homely things which
have always been so valuable III the
household, and it is no particular
credit to the present generation that
this is so. 1t is probable that very
few young persons today would be of
actual service in a case of sunstroke,
a scalded arm or an instance of poison
swallowed by accident. Yet there
are number of services that may be
rendered Immediately which will alle-
viate pain and better the chances for
saving life. The same is true of an
ordinary fainting spell, which may or
may not be serious, according to the
instantaneous treatment afforded.
Many physician has arrived at the
bedside of patient to find that vast
amount of suffering could have been
saved had someone been on hand in
the first place with a clear head and
a knowledge of what to do and how
to do it.
1t is remarkable that people con-
stantly subject to the frailties of hu-
man existence should allow them
selves to get out of touch with natural
and speedy remedies, yet every day
shows an added reason why lessons
in ''home doctoring" should receive
greater attention n.-Lan0aStey Pa. J

A QUICK w1TTRD INDIAN.

The late Clement Scott, the Eng
lish dramatic critic, took profound
interest in the American Indian. He
had at his tongues tip hundred in
cidents wherewith to illustrate odd
phases Of the Indian character.
"There was farmer in the west, "
he once said, who was hard put to
it for help upon his farm. Indians
were plentiful in the neighborhood,
but they were poor workmen. Al
ways tired, they would put down the
hoe or the rake as soon as the mas
ter's back was turned, and, selecting
cool spot, they would lie down on
the grass and sleep the day away.
"But one morning very tall, ro-
bust Indian asked the farmer to give
him work.
"No,' said the white man; you
will get tired. You Indians are al
ways getting tired.
ooh, no, said the other. This
Iniun never get tired. This Injun
not like the rest.
Well, I'll try you," said the
farmer, and he engaged the man. He
put him to work in a wheat field ;
then he went away for an hour or
two. When he returned he found
the Indian asleep under tree.
+" Here, wake up here, he cried.
You told me you never got tired.
"'Ugh, said the other, yawning,
this Injun don't. But if he not lie
down often, he would get tired, just
the same as the rest. /"

reply to some one who had dunned
him. Let me see. Where will you

sharp?"
"At the hotel"
"All right. Be at the hotel at a

"Collins," said an acquaintance,
"you are a very plausible fellow.
You know that you do not intend to
pay that man."
"Well, no; that's a fact"
"Then why did you want to know
where he would be at 4 O'Clock p

cordingly. III know where he is at 4
O'Clock l will be somewhere else at

CULTIVATE A PLEASANT VOICE.

Kind hearts are more plentiful than
persistently kind and gentle voices,
and vet love loses much of its power
when the voice is sharp and harsh.
Try, therefore, most earnestly to ac-
ouire pleasant tone in speaking, and
guard yourself carefully from falling
into careless and bad habits of voice.
Often a sharp voice shows far more
ill-will than the heart feels; but
people do not know that the speak
er's clark is worse than her bite, F"
and they believe her to be ill-temper-
ed and disagreeable.
1t is very easy to pick up a sharp
and snappish manner of speaking.
Very often it is acquired in mirth, and
in the playful battles of words. in
which boys and girls delight. There
is no malice in their sallies, and a
great deal of fun but, meanwhile,
the voice is often acquiring sharp
and shrewish tone, which clings
through life, making it stir up strife
and iil-will among its listeners.
So be careful of the tone in which
Won speak, and be certain that it is
GENTLE and sweet. A kind voice is
like music in the home, and it is to
the heart what light and beauty are
to the eye.

THE KISS IN THE TUNNEL.

Courtesy always pays; discour-
tesy never does," said famous
Frenchwoman. "Let me tell you a
story of an actual happening:
1.-TWO women occupied compart-
ment in railway carriage with one
man, a stranger. They were ex-
tremely rude to this man. In whis-
pers that he could overhear they criti-
cised his costume, his figure and his
manner. He, to be revenged, did
singular thing.
"The blackness of tunnel envel-
oped the car, and under cover of the
darkness the man kissed the back of
his hand loudly and repeatedly. Then
when the train entered the light again
he looked from one woman to the
other with significant smile.
"They exchanged glances of sus-
picion.
"'Was it you he kissed?'
"'No; Of course not. Was it your
"And neither lady would believe
the others denial, and each III her
inmost heart believed the other had
encouraged the kiss. The man look
ed cool and complacent. When finally
he rose to go he said, lifting his hat
with jocular air !:
"'Have no fear, ladies. / shall
never tell which of you it was. "

me to reply: A man. 1 sat by him
at the table-a plain, small elderly
man, who always wore a skull cap
and rough brown clothes. He ate
but little and was in poor health. He
came into the parlor one evening car
rying a banjo; a lady was at the
pinao; he played the banjo charm
ingly, and sang as never a man sang
before, i'll my presence. He was ap-
plauded and urged to go on and on.
The lady was called away. Then he
laid down the banjo and took her
place, and the piano alone accompa-
MED his melodious voice. He had the
hand and voice of a master-that
plain, unattractive man-and I'll re-
member him as the brightest star of
St. Augustine, for he made the eve
ming the pleasantest that we spent in
"that quaint old Spanish city. -

and they talked over the astonishing

situation.
"Isn't it dreadful for Bertha and
Bernice, /" said Elsie. "They didn't
come to school today, and the girls
said that their mother had Mysteries
and fainting spells all day. There's
father coming now
"Tell him 1 am upstairs and want
to speak to him right away said Mrs.
Solicay as she hastened out of the
room.
William Soliday looked very soberly
at his pretty daughter, then turned and
walked slowly to his wifes room. She
met him at the door and the tears
were running down her cheeks.
"Oh, William, can you ever for
give me" she began.
"There, Eliza, don't take on so,
said her husband, dropping heavily
into big chair, and taking the trem-
bling woman in his arms.
"But to think what Charles has
done-and where he is, and where
you might have been if" here she
was unable to go on.
"Don't cry SO, Eliza. 1t will be
all right in time" continued Mr.. Soil
day, patting his wife's shoulder and
hardly realizing what he was saying
"Oh, but, William, I would rather
live plain, and not have new things
and know that my husband was an
honest man. And you were stronger
than I was, because l was afraid of
what people would say and might
have driven you to do something des-
perate just as Charles has done" and
she began to sob with renewed vio-
lence.
"Now, Eliza, just listen minute" !"
said William Soliday. "I had a chance
to make fifty dollars today; that is I,
received it on an old account that I
never expected to be paid. If you
want it to buy some pretty things for
the little girl"
"Oh, William, it's more than
enough returned the wife. "She
will only need part of it and l want
you to have some for yourself. l can't
have my good man looking shabby, "
she ended with smile around her
mouth and her husband was too wise
to object.
Among the lovely young girls who
were graduated there was none more
bewitching than Elise Soliday, in her
simple gown and without any jinglipg
trinkets. The Soliday twins were not
there, and with their withdrawal from
the class, the element of extravaganza
which threatened to be the dominant
feature was eliminated. In girlish
fashion the swing of the pendulum
was toward extreme simplicity of
dress, to the relief of those whose
means were limited to small outlay.
"Our Elise was the prettiest girl in
the class" said Mrs. Soliday to her
husband that night.
"How could she help it-with such
mother" he replied without mo-
ment's hesitation. .-Mary Peabody
