REMARKABLE RECOVERY.
One Day the Widow Was Inconsol-
able, the Next as Gay as
a Lark.

p. f. Rothermel, counsel for the
Lake Superior corporation, as the re-
organized Consolidated Lake Superior
is called, was complimented the other
day on the excellent year that the
concern has had, says the Pittsburg
Gazette.
Mr.. Rothermel smiled and an
swered:
Yes, the company has gotten quick
ly on its feet. 1t has recovered quick
ly. 1t was not badly hurt, after all.
And thus it resembles a widow Of
whom l heard recently.
This lady's husband died, and, a
day or two after the funeral, a neigh
Dor called to extend her condolences.
She expected to find the widow
frantic with grief. She found her al

astonished at so quick a recovery. the
visitor said:

JAPANESE CHILDREN
CHARMING AND QUAINT, OF
GREATEST INTEREST.
Little Mothers with Babies Strapped
on Their Backs-The Festival
of Dolls-The Boys
Holiday.

The foreign visitor finds nothing of
SO much interest and charm as the
darling. solemn-faced little children,
votes them the blessedest babies that
sver toddled. Rave all you like over
the bigger Japanese dolls, the women
of Japan, write poem and story about
their exquisite gentleness and docility;
but give me the Jap baby.
Boy or girl, the Jap baby is quaint
and good and clean and irresistible; or
binary day you fall in love, holidays
you fall in love twice over. AT the lat
ter season it is decked out in gayest
garments, the treasure fower"-as
the poetic Japanese call a child-a
very bright-hued blossom indeed. In
Nippon red is looked upon as belong
ing to youth, and the gala attire gayest
of the gay.
Two days of the year are set apart
in honor of the children; March 8 is
dedicated to the girls. May 5 to the
boys. At the Festival of Dolls (Hina
Matsuri) the whole family pays honor
to the little girls, for a whole week
open house is kept, everybody dressed
in the best clothes the wardrobe COM
mands. Costly dolls that have been
handed down from generation to gen
Grafton, are brought forth from seclu-
sion, and with them the parapher-
MALTA belonging thereto; in Japan dolls
need rice bowls, teapots, tiny tables,
etc. and these are placed conveniently
at hand. In addition to ancient be-
~longings the happy dolls are presented
with new gifts, and all is merry as a
festival can be in this festival loving
land. 1t is needless to say the tiny
mistresses, the little girls, live in an
ecstacy during the Festival Of the
Dolls.
When the boys have their gala time,
the rejoicing is of a somewhat diff.

ferent character, though children's
parties and picnics are not omitted.
At every house where dwells a young
boy, a bamboo pole is seen, suspended
from the pole a great hollow paper
carp, symbol of success in surmount-
ing life's difficulties. The boys may
not have dolls, but they have very
good substitutes; figures representing
wrestlers, heroes, generals, gods of
strength; and these figures are fur
nished with the weapons of the brave.
What games do the little people of
Japan play? We recognize not a few.
There is our old friend, prisoners
base;" and something very like fox
and-geese;" and, of course tag" is
seen, that simple yet eXhilarating
pastime a favorite with the babies of
the world. 1t goes without saying
that the Nipponese indulge in kite
flying, for everyone has heard of their
wonderful kites. The girls may be
seen hunting f~refies with circular
fans, and in summer time a favorite
sport is sharing the semi (cicadas).
They capture these by means of rod
and bird-lime, and carry home noisy
srasshoppers in little bamboo cages
brought along for the purpose. They
hang up the semi, and take great de-
light in the chirp of the Gagged insect.
But life is not all play for the baby
Japs. AS soon as the square baby girl
can toddle, she learns by means of her
strapped-on doll how to carry an in
FAINT On her back safely and with com
parative comfort-for the infant-and
as soon as she herself has graduated
from ~babyhood, is expected to be a
mother to the babies that have sup
planted her. And she proves a very
gentle. thoroughly adorable little
mother. One longs to pick her m her
burden up and give both a hearty
western embrace; but this would as
tonish and offend both digniied east
erners, and we forbear.
Lady Lawson says of Nippon:-"a
land which is truly, as Sir Rutherford
Alcock calls it, The Paradise of Ba-
bies.' They swarm everywhere in the
LHoSt CIoWueu uShio hS'Oi "
buked never ill-treated, never in the
way, with grave formal manners, look
ing like dignifed burlesques as they
toddle along in their long flowing
gowns and long sleeves"
The children really are more SOL
emn in appearance than their elders,
the latter great chatterers and given
TO much laughter. But the solemn
babies of Japan are very happy. per-
haps are the happiest children Of any
land.

JADE BOOK.
CATALOGUE WHICH COST OVER
$1,ooo,o 900 TO PREPARE.
Most Magnificent Work Ever Pub
lished-Product of the Efforts
and M~unifcence of Heber
r. Bishop.

In this age of books, with the print
cheaper than years ago, it seems al
most impossible for an edition of any
work to cost over 81, 900 per volume,
but such is the case with the cata-
logues printed for the Heber r. Bishop
collection of jades, now on exhibition
in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Mr.. Bishop owned n of the most
superb collections of jade objects in
the whole world. He had ransacked
China and the whole east in his search
for Jade ornaments of art value. Be
fore his death, Mr.. Bishop gave this
collection to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art. In addition, he donated a
large sum to fit up an appropriate o
for the installation of the collection.
The northeast room of the second floor
of the museum building has been fitted
up for the suitable exhibition of the
jade. This room will be known as
Bishop hall. The greatest decorators
of Paris were brought over to make
the oom the most splendid example
on this continent of the style of Louis
XIV. Fifteen cases of gilt bronze and
plate glass hold the jade objects.
But the jades collection itself is
hardly more beautiful than the cata-
logue describing the collection. There
are just 100 copies of the catalogue,
printed in two volumes. The cata-
logue has just been finished and bound.
Two copies have been placed in the
national library to secure the copy
right and the other copies will soon
be on their way to the crowned heads
of Europe and Asia and to the libraries
and museums selected as recipients OF
the wonderful work. Even the
crowned heads to receive copies will
be limited to six. In no case will the
catalogue go to a private individual,
and in no event will it be sold.
1t has taken 20 years to prepare and
print this catalogue. For a great
part of that time Mr.. Bishop himself
directed the work, and his will be-
queathed plenty of money to complete
the task. If the time and work given
free to this work were counted in the
cost, it would be a low estimate to
place the price of the catalogue at
5000. 900. George +. Kunz. the gem
expert, who was one of the most prom
inent of the collaborators who pre-
pared the catalogue, describes the book
as one that stands alone as perhaps
the greatest volume ever issued and GER
tainly the greatest catalogue of a collec-
ton in any branch of science or art. He
a Y its cost exceeds that of the monu-
