Masked Musicians.
From the Wide World Magazine.

The Shakuhachi players OF Japan are q
privileged class of itinerant musicians.
Their instrument, a kind of reed oboe.
enjoys what is perhaps unique distinc-
ton. IT having been adopted as a unit
about two feet. A peculiar headdress
something like an immense peach basket
hat serves a cool variety OF mask.
permitting the wearer to see without be-
ing seen-a decided advantage TO such
people as have come down in the world
and are undesirous of publicity. Ii also
serves as a further distinctive feature OF
this class of musician TO those who do
not read the descriptive matter which -
hung In front of each player.

now in New York city. has written tn,
following lines, which he sent to frient
in this city:
A Sea of Trouble.
Lord. look upon this sea I'm on
And calm its fearful tide
For 1t seems TO hold for me q grave
Without Thy hand to guide.
Behold the tempest fierce and high.
In threatening power DER me;
Behold the chains that bind me fast
Lord, help Thou, on this sea.
Like greedy monsters towering strong,
They lash me TO fear and grief,
Till hope and courage is almost gone.
Looking, longing for some relief
Behold' how dark this troubled main
That round daily grow:
That casts pail over home and life,
With woe heaped high wee
Lord look how 1t shadows life's dim path
Where these my feet would tread;
Look what gloom DER yonder home!
My God-for them 1 dread.
Behold this sea in human hands.
Made furious by raging waves.
That would drive a mother to despair
And children to their graves.
Behold o Lord, this measurelesss deep.
While the danger signals sound;
How the storm doth break midnight sleep
AS thus We are tossed around.
Behold the storm dangers hanging Ger me-
Mid the garing lies OF authorities thunder;
That who can still but only Thee,
This fearful tide that daily round gather.
Look. too. q Lord, at the hooking wavelets
That befriended in this pending gloom,
But carried now like little streamlets
Before the tide OF seeming doom.
The Coming Christmas.
Approaching Christmas again we see,
Bring blessings to many; to some mayhap
curse:
To some a divine meaning to others. thought
And for others. this money for the purse"
Approaching day by day, increasing its bond,
Already overwhelmed with gifts for the kin
Thus passing on down life's vanishing road
Unburdens His treasure and takes sim
Approaching steadily on toward our way,
While varied hands are busy making prep
To nfreight His tyain for one brief day,
With commingled effort OF congratulations
Each day brings 1t on and nearer our station.
Laden with the fruits of the good Lords store
Whence II started on It's journey Of brotheri,
mission,
Consoling the sick and helping the poor.
Soon twill arrive with riches in plenty.
II the selfish and rich to the conscience will
To give of their store and spare Of their bounty
Twill clothe needy infants and the hungr,
will feed.
Thus down LIES road we see it a-coming,
Bearing It's banner divine memory,
When the rays OF Its light blessed lon
Galilee.
So down the weary road OF sickness and sorrow
1t journeys not day. but goes on forever,
Leaving u balm for the COMING tomorrow
As brotherly 1T binds us closer together.

Whatever the judgment may be ON

his intellect and personality succeeded in

shrewdest and ablest of men. with an
astounding capacity for business, a great
organizer, rightly deserving the name or
Leopold, the builder
It is understood that Leopold's per-
sonal fortune is enormous, and that IL
the figures were known they would startle
In Belgium and France, he had immense
holdings in American securities. The
earnings Of his enterprises in the kongo
Independent state are reputed to he
stupendous. Much speculation as to the
destination of his wealth has been
aroused by the announcement that he
recently consulted Premier Schollaret with
reference to a political testament.
In addition to the attacks made upon
him on account of the konGo, the king 5
life was shattered by domestic tragedies.
His only son is dead and his eldest
daughters have been banished. Princess
Louise has been divorced and pursued
by creditors. Princess Stephanie the
king never forgave, because after the
dark episode of her husbands death she
insisted upon marrying Count Lonyay.
The king turned to Princes Clementine,
upon whom he lavished affection. But
he found time to devote himself also 10
Baroness Vaughan, on whom he showered

Leopold intends to provide handsomely
for the baroness and her children.
