An Animal Born Only to Die.

The instances Of natural death in
the animal world are conspicuous in
comparison with those in the vege-
table world for their greater yari-
ETY. and completely. There seems
no doubt that this manner of death
established itself independently in
the different groups Of animals.
Years ago an American naturalist,
Dana, discovered on the surface OF
the sea a little animal Of so sim
gular a character that he named it
"monstrilla." 1t is a small crusta-
cean akin TO the cyclops so common
in ponds. But, while the latter are
furnished with all that is necessary
to capture and digest their food, the
monstrjlla has neither apparatus for
Selling prey nor digestive tube. II
is richly provided with muscles.
nervous system, organs of sense and
sexual organs. 1t only lacks what
is necessary to prolong life by ali.
mentation. The monstrilla is doom,
ed therefore to natural death.-Pro'

JAPANESE POETRY.
yWrsains Verse Is . Part Of the Polite
~ Life of the Nation.

'sThere are mo long poems in Jap
;anese," says a writer. "a long poem
is unthinkahle TO the people Of ia
pan. They have what sometimes
pass for long excursions IN verse,
but these are really nothing more
than short poems strung together,
lacking all unity save that of sub
iect. The favori1e forms are the
hokku, consisting Of three lines, the
first having five, the second having
seven and the third having five syl-
ables, seventeen in s.ll:; the tahka,
consisting of five lines of five, sew
Ell. five, seven and seven syllables,
Thirty in all, and the dodoitsH,
consisting of four lines of sew
en-, seven, seven and five sylla-
bles, or twenty-six in all. The
tanka is the classical form, af-
fected by the standard poets of the
country. while the other forms are
used by every japanese who writes
at all and by many who cannot.
The hokku is the greatest favorite.
''The hokku is composed ina>
promptu upon every occasion, the
writer putting into verse the
thought appropriate to the moment.
the incident or the associations sug-
gested, much as the Greeks wrote
their epigrams before the epigram
became a little Satire sting. Hok'
kns are inspired by grave moments
as well as by the gay ones. An old
statesman on his deathbed sees q
dead leaf whirled past his window,
and it suggests his own faring forth
on the wings of eternity, and he
writes, a leaf whirls down-a leaf
whirls down in the wind Nothing
more, but the simple repetition
pours out volumes with beauty and
power.
"These little poems are so much
part of Japanese life that every
cultivated person writes them, and
all who go to view the flowers, the
poisoning of the cherry trees oil
the reddening NAPLES in Uyeno OF
other parks, write some pretty con-
ceit in a hokku and hang it upon
the chrysanthemum or lotus stalks
or on the trees. The hokku may
therefore, be justly called the SONG
of Japan, as We say certain ecstasy
in a few notes is the song of the
! thrush"

1T is published in some of the
papers that some of the lawyers
in the legislature at Raleigh OBJ
jected to passing a law that
would lessen the probability of
railroad accidents, or rather one
that would relieve the railroad
people of the responsibility for
such accidents. We do not know
how true this Is. but il such is
the case the name of such a law
yer should be printed in black
type so that all men could see.
The man that would rather have
people brake their limbs than
that proper precaution should be
taken, just because the party in
jured can SECURE damages from
some corporation, should not be
allowed to practice law, or in fact
should not be allowed to mix with
people at all. There is little differ.
ence between a man of this type
and the anarchist that seeks tt
destroy men because they occupy
important positions.

and shirk the duties they are
paid to perform, itisnot unindig-
niied TO compel them to do their
duty. The Legislature having
refused eeact, the people have
the remedy i'm their own hands.
They can, if they will, retire
these Judges when they come up
for election: and every one who
neglects his duty should be re-
tired, no matter if he has At
party nomaiaations attached to
him.

SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES.

Of course the legislature is GO
ing to do something, and really
they are going to make believe a
great deal more than they do.
The real measure that will affect
the people will be said the least
about, and will pass with
out special notice. Referring to
a bill regarding superior court
judges and solicitors, the States
vile Landmark has the following,
which we heartily endorse:
The State Senate killed the bill
which proposed to fine judges
who do not open court promptly.
We have not seen a copy of the
bill and don't know whether it
remedied the evil of which Tie
Landmark has complained, but
some means should be adopted to
compel judges not only to open
court promptly but to continue
at work during the term. The
court dockets in many counties
in the State are congested all the
time. A bill has been introduced
to increase the number Of judges
and solicitors to 20. All thiI
means more expense to the tax
payers. If the Is Superior Cour

Why He Planted.

The poor man who seeks to help,
even in the smallest way, bat with
a right spirit, his fellowmen Is OF
infinitely greater worth to the race
than the man Of millions whose
chief aim and end are his own pleas
ure. A poor and aged man was
seen planting an apple tree and was
somewhat rudely accosted by q
stranger Who said, "Why do you
plant trees when YOU cannot posi-
bly, live long enough to eat the fruit
Of themi" The poor man raised
himself and, leaning on his shovel,
said: "Somc one planted trees be-

AN OLD GERMAN LEGEND.
The Skull with the Nail Driven
Through Its Temple.


At Frciburg. Baden, in front of an
old chapel rich in mcdiaeval painting
the wages of sin, stands great cross,
at its foot a skull with nail driven
into the temple.
\ shoemaker of Frciburg, according
TO tradition, died suddenly in the good
old days before COrOncrS and juriCS
were too inluiSitive and was buried
near where the cross stands. Scarcely
had the earth upon his grave been wet
10y the rains before his wife took sec
ond husband.
NeighbOrs talked. but t. was all.
One night the priest of the parish
aWoke to find standing at the foot of
his bed the ghost of the dead shoe
maker. The CHASTITY figure raised a
CORY lock from its forehead and point
ed to a nail driven in the temple
The body was eXhumed. and there
was the evidence of the crime Just as
the SpeCter had indicated. The Wife
confessed the murder and was cNc,ut-
ed But the skull was placed at the
foot of the cross as warning"
''rhe erect was most wholesome"
relates { truthful chrOniclcr. "for
since then not Il wife of Frciburg has
murdered her husband"
