many Of the dolls she had when she
was a child, and some even Older dolls
that the little girls grandmother had
when she was little tot; and l dare
say there are dolls that belonged to the
little girls great-grandmother and
even her grandmother,
quaint dolls In faded clothes Of hun
dred years and more ago, carefully
handed down from mother to daughter
ever since. I saw one old doll, about
six inches tall, dressed as a daimio, or
great lord of bygone times, in gorgeous
brocade robes, covered with steel ar
mour Of little overlapping plates, just
as beautifully made as II for real
warrior. He wore tiny helmet, and
carried two tiny swords not as large
as matches. You could draw the
swords out Of their scabboards just
like real ones, and they were as sharp
as they could be. Well, for about a
week all Japan Is one grand dolls tea
party. And then the festival is over,
and all the best dolls, even the pres
ents to the little girl, are put carefully
away, never to be even looked at for q
whole year. I don't see how the little
Japanese girls can bear that part Of 1t.
Then at the first of May comes the
boys festival-the Fish Festival, 1t Is
called. Every family that's lucky
enough to have boy. puts up a flag
pole in the door yard; or perhaps sew
eral families combine to use the same
pole, and have it bigger, handsomer
one than one family could afford On
the top Of the pole Is a gilt ball, or
| else a basket with something bright
and tlnsely In 1t. And flying from the
pole, in the brisk spring winds, Is
whole string of carp, made Of oiled
paper or cloth, painted in bright col
ors, and anywhere from five to fifteen
feet long. Each fish belongs to some
particular boy, and the carp Is chosen
because 1t Is big, strong fish, and
not only can swim against the most
rapid currents, but In its eagerness to
get up stream will leap straight up
waterfalls. The gold ball means a
treasure, which the carp, leaping and
struggling, buffeted by the wind, Is
forever trying to reach. And the whole
thing means that the boy, when he's
a man, will have to battle his way as
the sturdy carp struggles up the river.
The fishes look so very pretty and CAV,
flying over his house, and the boy gets
so many treats at Fish Festival time
that l don't think he minds even il
the carp is a nice little jolly lecture on
ambition.-St. Nicholas

The siege Of Port Arthur has been
compared, In nearly every cable dis
patch that came from London, to the
siege Of Sebastopol. There IL, how
ever, NO close analogy between the
two. ... .
At SebastopoI the siege began Oct.
~, 1854, with an assault which was re-
pulsed. During the winter that fol-
lowed the Russians were as often the
attacking party "a the English and
French. The besleging force was so
depleted by losses in battle and by
sickness that Lord Raglan regarded
the investment as a quasi siege. Rus
sian sorties were frequent, and al
though they were repulsed they ex-
hausted the besiegers.
The grand assault Of the allies on
Malakhov tower and the Redan, June
10, 1856, failed. The sorties Of the
Russians two months later was re-
pulsed. The English assault on the
