Japaness Woman phIIanthrop,st.

Miss El Imura, young Japanese woman, has come to this country on her own initiative to study methods for teaching the deaf, the dumb and the blind. She has been for several years @ teacher in the state school for the deaf and dumb in Tokyo. Her mother was the first Christian in her district and her daughter was brought up in the same faith.
 She states that the deaf and dumb children in Japan are born chiefly in the homes of the rich families, where cousins fntermarry in order to keep the money in the family. Blind ohil- dren. on the other hand, are found mostly among the very poor. These defective children are looked upon as disgracing their families and are as a rule much neglected in their homes.
 Miss Imura's object is to start an industrial school for the deaf, dumb and blind in Japan. In the hours not devoted to visiting the institutions of America she is engaged with an as- sistant in preparing conversation books in Japanese, Korean, Chinese and English.

We are astonished at the familiarity of our friends with the different makes of automobiles. As we walk down the boulevard he notes each machine that whirls by us and without the slight est hesitation gives the name of its make.
 Here comes 8 Steerooar," he says. "the next ts a Pothard-Plump, that one turning the corner is Q Paddal- whack, the one coming now is Poker motive," and so on. In no single in- stance does he fail to name the ma chine.
 While we know him for a man of keen observation and Quickness of intellect, we are astonished at his catholic knowledge of automobiles.
 We beg him to tell us how he gained so much information.
 He demurs fox 6 time, but upon becoming insistent he laughs at us and confesses:

FORGOT HER hoUskHoLp CARES.
Atchison Woman Succumbed to shs
 oharnss Of Romance.

An Atchison woman had company coming to dinner, and the house to clean, so at nine that morning she be gan the cleaning by putting new paper on the pantry shelves.
 When the company came At one o'clock there was no sign of the host ess or dinner, so they began to search the house to find her. At last their search was rewarded. She was sitting on . pantry shelf, reading a continued story in newspaper, and when the guests looked offended be- cause of the lack of preparations made for the meal, she showed them the following paragraph, which began the story, and which had tempted her to drop her work and read more;
 70, Frances, Frances!' Cynthia'a E low rioh voice shook with emotion. Birney Gates turned his head in her direction and met her eyes. Curious gold-green eyes they were. shadowed by long, black lashes-langourou and enticing. For one moment he gazed as if under sudden spell. Later the girl dropped her fan and he stopped to pick 1t up for her. AS he handed 1t back his fingers touched hers and the contact thrilled him strangely"
 Now do you blame her? Didn't that promise to be more interesting than wiping off sugar bowls, soup ladies and porridge pots?-Atchison Globe.

HE BLAMED THE GOVERNMENT.
unobiialng Man Saw No Reason for
 Putting Himself Out

Say" remarked the post office clerk who was off duty, as he watched friend af1x two stamps to the corner of an snevelope, "why don't you put those stamps on horizontally instead of vertically? Don't you know you would save 8 lot of work for us stampers if you put you stamps beside each other instead of under each other? We always have to make two strokes when canceling vertically pasted stamps by hand, and they don't work well through the stamping ma chimes either"
 "Is that so?" Queried his friend, as he took another envelope and pro ceeded to aff1x two stamps to it in a vertical position. Then. by the great horn spoon, why doesn't the govern ment sell it's stamps in horizontal lines? Look at these. Here bought 20 cents worth of two-oent stamps and they come to me in vertical lines. If buy five twos get them attached one to the bottom of the other. Do you think I'm going to the trouble of tearing each stamp off just to please a government clerk by pasting them side by side? Guess again"

Wanted All tho Warts.

You would be surprised if you knew how careful outdoor advertisers are to have their signs just so," said the billboard painter. They have all sorts of notions as to just how they want their advertisements to look, and the slightest deviation causes trouble. Not long ago 6 gang of us painted a big billboard in the center of which was 8 large pickle. We thought we had done rather a neat job of 1t, but the firm for whom we did 1t refused to approve. saying there were not the required number of bumps or warts on the pickle.
 "The upshot was that we had to paint out that pickle and put on a new one. with the spots for the bumps marked 90 there could be no mistake. never see a pickle sign now that do not want to stop and count the bumps on it."

The Junior Musicians held their regular meeting on Friday after noon March, 27th.
 A number of visitors were pres ent, as usual, also the pupils of the third and fourth grades.
 Each pupil contributed one or more numbers; refiecting much credit upon themselves. Several were absent on account of sickness. We trust that every member can be present next meeting (May 1st) as this will be our LAST assembly during the school term. But it is the intention of our Director (Mrs. Kathryn Faucette Taylor) to con- tinue our club during the vaction.
 We are all looking forward to these meetings with great antici- patton, as she promises us a jolly good time and an entire change of programme as reward for our faithful and persIstant work dur ing the past eight months.

ANCIENT AND MODERN FICTION.
Really Little Difference h the Methods
 of Writers,

The historian Freeman once said: T never let man die at the end of a chapter" The modern serial, or con- tinued story, exemplifles like theory of pausing at the very brink of an ab- sorbing event. We consider a year. long serial one of considerable length; yet in France, in 1910, the first two parts of the Astree, one of the most celebrated Gallic novels, were pub lished four or five years before the third part, and several more in ad- vance of the fourth and fifth parts.
 About the same time flourished Mile. de Soudery, memorable as the author of the first romance of any note writ ten by . woman. She composed and published by installments novels of a length unknown to the readers of to- day. Every story was originally is- sued in patches of small octavos, sometimes running to a score or so. She has been described as "the most pitiless writer of fiction that the world has ever known"
 The same Seventeenth Century, says Harper's Weekly, illustrates, again, the willingness of French writers to abide their time The poet Malherbe wished to console a friend on the death of his wife. By the time the poem was finished, the gentleman had been consoled, remarried, and was himself dead!

Their Favorite Mottoes.

Many well-known men have favor, ite notices which they endeavor tc live up to, and, curiously enough some of them are particularly applica ble to their professions. Speech is silvern, silence Is golden" Is the maxim which Sir George Lewis, the famous lawyer, always bears in mind Tell the truth and shame the devil" is MT. Labouchere's very appropriate motto; while Sir John Fisher adopts the significant words: "The frontiers of England are the coasts of the enemy" John Burns is very fond of the saying: "The world Is my coun- try and to do good is my religion" ;" while the British premier gives the text of St. Paul as his motto: "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient."

A True Eriend.

A true friend will tell ono his faults, is saying we often hear, but a true friend, If he is wise in the knowledge of human nature, will tell his virtues. The fact is that in this busy world of ours, with it's keen struggle and sharp competition, we are pretty apt to be told our faults by those who are not friends, and to be brought face to face with our mistakes and failures so often that we sometimes lose hope and cour- age. Whoever has a word of honest praise for another should feel that he holds something which is that others due, and hasten to pay it. The word Of blame may be goal, but the word of hearty commendotion will be "soms- thing to live up to" through many a trying hour.-Ths Parish Visitor.

Oriental Tov Fish.

William H. Heimbach of Allentown, Pa, an expert breeder of fancy fishes, has recently sold 8 lot of Japanese frtngetails and some Chinese fantails for $10 each. Several of the fringe tails, with bodies less than three inches long, have tails four inches long.
 The parent stock was imported from the orient, but MT. Heimbach has sue ceeded in raising about 300 of the fish in an elaborate hatchery he built ad- Joining his home. The fad, in addi. ton to being expensive, requires in- finite patience and care. The fish must be kept and bred in still water, which is supplied with oxygen by mans of odd plants procured chiefly from China. The breeding of these top fish, of which single specimens are worth from $5 to s1O, is said to be the acme of piscatorial culture. A well stocked five gallon aquarium is worth about s150.

The Reason Why.

It Is a strange thing that though the great grandmothers of many of US smoked, and pipes at that, and were never considered unwomanly for doing 1t, in this day and gener- ation there should be % much com motion about the woman who smokes a cigarette. On the other hand, as oivi- lization has advanced and the physical ills induced by tobacco have been ex- plotted, the attitude of men in the matter is no doubt that of protso- ton.-Exchange
