FLOATING TOWARD JAPAN.

I will dispatch some one to fetch it
! as soon as it is weaned.''
Thus saying he departed. Well, en-
bassy after embassy came, there was
generally year between each, but
never a letter from the japanese hus-
band to the Chinese wife, who atlast,
! tired of waiting and grieving. took her
| boy by the hand and, sorrowfuIly lead
! ing him to the seashore, fastened
around his neck label bearing the
! words: 1.-THE japanese Ambassadors
! Child"
| Then she flung him into the sea, ia
| the direction of the japanese archipel-
ago, confident that the paternal tie was
one which it was not possible to break
and that therefore father and child
were sure to meet again.
One day when the former ambassa-
dor, the father, was walking by the
beach of Nauiwa, he saw something
white floating out to sea, looking like
a small island. It foated nearer and
he looked more attentively. There was
no doubt that the strange object was
a child. Quite astonished he stopped
and gazed again. The floating object
drew nearer and nearer still, and at
last with perfect distinctness he per-
ceived it to be fair, pretty little boy
about four years old impelled on
ward by the waves.
The little boy was riding on the back
of an enormous fish. He was not at
all afraid. but sat up bravely, and guild
ed his strange cruiser by word and
hand toward the land where stood the
astonished ambassador gazing at him.
When the strange little rider reached
the shore he dismounted, and the at
tendants of the ambassador came for
ward to meet him. Their lord had com
manded that they take up the manly
little fellow and bring him before him.
And, behold, around the childs neck
there was a label, upon which was writ
ten: The japanese Ambassadors
Child"
"Oh, yes!" he exclaimed, sit must be
my child, and no other, whom its moth
err, angry at having received no letters
from me, must have thrown into the
sea. But there is a strange bond al
ways, which unites fathers to their
children, and he has reached me safely
riding upon a fish's back"
The air of the little creature went
to his heart and he took and tended
him most lovingly. To the care of the
next embassy that went to the court
of China he intrusted a letter for his
wife, in which he informed her of all
the particulars, and she. who had quite
believed the child TO be dead, rejoiceo
at his marvellous escape.
The child grew to be a man, and, as
he had been saved by a fish, he was
given the name of Fishhare

the two soldiers and their comrades
fell upon their knees and raised their
thin arms and crutches in duplication.
The roadway leading to the gate was
filled with waiting multitudes, but
when they saw the soldiers they re-
specially withdrew to both Sides
making way for them. For such is
the majesty of duty we'll performed
that every heart is filled with respect
and love for the man who dies for his
country. The masses of dead Rus
sian soldiers marched right up to
heavens gate, and, coming near, saw
st. Peter sitting outside with roll
of paper in his hand, from which he
read long litanies Of names. And who
ever was cd walked in joyously.

months, we saw nothing but death and
wounds, heard nothing but groans and
curses, felt nothing but hunger and
cold and exhaustion. The long run of
death, wounds. hunger, exhaustion

Kuropatkins men marched on in the
nebulous mist of the strange landscape.
The snow had vanished. They were now
walking over gray clouds, and the
earth lay deep beneath them.
1.-THE TOCSIN OF MOSCOW.
Suddenly the ringing of bells and
chanting of pious litanies arrested the
ghostly army's progress. The men
stood still to listen. Some great church

other At that moment the clouds part

miles below lay a great city.
"Gawrill an exalted one must have
departed life. Hear the clamor of

They were marching along a great
thoroughfare. preceding and following
a golden hearse, drawn by eight
horses on the coffin a grand ducal
crown. and black velvet was spread
over the snow. And there were al
most as many priests as soldiers and
officials. thousands of them.

BY FATHER GAPON.
ARMY OF DEAD ON THE
MARCH.

In yonder far away place, where
heaven and earth meet, a curious pro-
cession creeps along slowly, laborious-
~, silently-vast rows of cadaverous
men, swathed in ragged uniforms and
with bare feet. Their cloaks are too
short, their head coverings either too
large or too small; only a few boast
boots without soles, or gloves without
fingers. Thousands hobble on crutch-
es, or carry ter heads under their
arms. And all faces wear the hue inn
posed by misery and thievish commits
saries-pale, ashen, the uniform OF
death and starvation. Others are with
out arms, or minus leg, ear, eye or
tongue.
With noiseless step they glide over
the hard frozen snow. OF all the ten
thousands of feet the forest of crutch-
es. not an impression remains.
Its a far .cry-to heaven, Gawrill."
whispered one in the crowd to his
mate. His head was bandaged, and he
walked with the utmost difficulty on
q single crutch, his left arm and left
leg being shot away. "A far cry, COM
rade, and L am so tired, so tired. But
not too tired to proceed, for the place
we seek offers rest and food for mind
and body, does it not, Gawrill? And
Gawrill,'' he continued, you are quite
sure that We are bound for heaven; that
the colonel and the generals are not
deceiving US as they have been doing
ever since the war began?''

away his crutch and fairly leaped into
eternal bliss.
Grand Duke Serge repeatedly tried
to attract the good Saints attention,
but Peter. as often, motioned him to
keep quiet, and only when the last of
the soldiers had gone into heaven he
advanced anew toward Peter.

plication

indignation.

Railroads Accidents.

Congressman John J. Esch, of
Wisconsin, author of the bill for
the compulsory installation of the
Block System ON railroads, has
contributed an article to the Octo-
Der number of the American Mag
azine in which he gives the follow
ing statistics of railroad accidents
During the fiscal year 1902, 303
passengers were killed and 6,OS9
injured; during 1903, 321 killed,
6,973 injured; during 1904, 42O
killed and 1854 injured.
For the fiscal year 1904, there
were 6,436 collisions, resulting in
death to $50 persons, injury to
1888, and in a property loss OF
over FIVE millions of dollars, while
for the nine months ending March
81, of the fiscal year 1905, there
we're 1896 collisions, 500 deaths,
SOIL injuries to person, and
property loss of almost four mil

Rather sorry show, but figures

United States, Italy, and Russia
(before the cataclysm) in number
of battle-ships; and yet the Jap

good account of themselves ON the

The directors Of the Insane Asy-
lum at Raleigh met last Thursday
and heard expert testimony from
physicians as to the probable cause
Of the death Of Thos. III. Nall. The
expert testimony was that the
licks on the head and body did not
cause the death Of the patient
They decided with the superinten-
dent that death was caused from
heart failure due To over exertion,
the coroner and DIR. Taylor, OF
Chatham, testifying to the con,
trary Notwithstanding.
Upon this expert testimony the
solicitor agreed to release the -four
attendants on 81, 900 bail each.
The attendants were in jail
under the charge of murder, which
was the verdict of the coroner's
jury, and it strikes us as being
strange proceedings to release these
men on expert testimony withou
both sides being heard. Some
think the attendants will not b.
tried for murder.
We heard the witnesses testify
before the coroner's jury and the
evidence was that the patient wa.
brutally treated, even after he hat
been captured and tied.
The trial, if there is one, viii
probably be next week as the Sep

How . Great hymn was Written.

Probably a great hymn never
had a more humble origin than
Coward, Christian Soldiers"
which is one of the most popular
of our modern hymns. In the o.
tober Delineator Allan Sutherland
writes:
"a great school festival was to
be held in a Yorkshire village on
Whit-Monday, 1866, and the
scholars of Horbury Bridge school,
over which the Rev. Sabine Bar
ng-Gould was curate, were invited
to attend. As the place of the
celebration was some distance
away, the minister thought it
would be an excellent plan to have
his scholars march to the singing
of an appropriate and stirring
hymn. Fortunately for our hymn
ology, he could find nothing in his
song books suitable for such an oc-
casion, so from sheer necessity he
sat down on the Saturday evening
preceding the celebration and COM
posed this great professional
hymn, little dreaming that he had
produced that which would be
worldwide in its usefulness and
make his name a household word.
Barring Gould, a minister of the
Church of England, is an author
ity on many subjects, and is vol
luminous writer, having published
nearly one hundred volumes. This
suggests the poet Thomas Gray,
who was also a man of vast learn
ing, not only in literature, but in
all the arts and sciences of his day,
and although he left writings
enough to form, with his life, a
book of four volumes, edited by
Edmund Gosse, it is by his one
poem, SElegy Written in a Coun-
try Churchyard, that he will be
ever remembered. This may also
prove true of Barring Gould. The
few lines hurriedly composed on a
Saturday evening as marching
song for a band of little children
will doubtless give to his name
greater fame than all the books he
has ever written.
