WINTER SPORT.
I saw to-day a gladstone sight

saw to-day a gladsome sight ~
l stood upon a hill
Whose gentle slope extends far down
Beyond the silent mill;
And snow and Ice had made the place
A glorious one 10 coast
And half hundred girls and boys
Were out-a merry host.
Some sleds were shod with shining steel
And decked with red and blue:
And some were made by unsk1Iled hands.
Yet sped right swiftly. too
And rude toboggans, loaded well
With happy children. made
Their daring trips. the noisy crews
Laughing and unafraid.
l saw SIX merry little girls
In one unbroken train
Go coas ting down without a sled!
l hooked. and looked again;
And as they climbed the hill, saw
Each carried in her hand
Just this-a kitchen dust-pan
Broad. strong and we'll apanned.
Each mounted. and around her feet
Tucked carefully her gown.
Then on this cutter. queer but feet,
Trtumphantly rode DOWN.
Safely they rode. with joyous shouts,
They seemed to like 1t we'll;
Though how they steered the funny craft
I'm sure l cannot tell.

strange and curious scenes from 1o'

for much worthy conversation. The
other guests furnished rich entertain

were provided with jests and repartee

Mrs. Way-down-blue was fairly oaz-
zled with their brilliance.
Strange to relate, Mrs. Way-down-

that her ideas in ragged. ili-fttlng
Jackets would be received with sur

remained miserably silent.
"What were you about to say, my
neighbour" and Mrs. Cheery-up-heart
turned to her Hospitality.
II was thinking" returned Mrs.
blue. humbly; II would
like to know where you keep all this
company of ideas"
1--WE keep them in idea gardens, or
you might call them memory gardens.
In these gardens we shelter our ideas
carefully. train them to obedience
and cherish them as we would cher
ish our friends, for they are indeed
friends, these good ideas who bring
us both riches and happiness"
But where do you find them
these ideas so beautiful and SO

only know how to look. But these
ideas have odd ways of hiding in UNI
expected places. They may be cum
ningly wrapped up in a flower bud or
a drop Of water. They have been
found in bit of coal or even curling
in merry wreaths out of the spout of
a tea kettle. Some men have taken
great pains to throw nets over the
stars to catch ideas, and one learned
philosopher found an extraordinary
idea in falling apple"
is there nothing more you can tell
me about these ideas?" asked Mrs.
Way-down- blue, with growing inter

There is one more secret, as ter
rible as it is beautiful. Ideas never
come alone; they bring their assoc

lawless idea, and seven more wicked

These will call in more and more I'M

unused Mrs. blue.
Yes, good ideas have way of

idea calls in another until you find

Spider Cures,

In China spiders are highly esteemed
In the treatment of Group. You gel
from an old wall the webs of sever
black spiders-two of which must have
the owners sitting in the middle--anG
pound them up in mortar with n lit
tie powdered alum. The resulting
mixture must then be set on fire, and
the ashes, when squirted into the
throat Of the patient by means of 0
bamboo tube, are said to effect Ger
tain and immediate cure.
Black spiders are evidently full OF
medicinal virtue. for they are largely
employed In the treatment of ague as
well. In Somersetshire, If one is af
fllcted with the unpleasant allment
the way to get well is to shut up q
large black spider in box and leave
1t there till it dies. At the moment
of It's disease the ague should disap
pear. In Sussex the treatment is more
heroic; the patient must swallow the
spider.
Perhaps, after all, this remedy may
not be so disagreeable as it appears
for German lady who was In the
habit of picking out spiders from theiI
webs as she walked through the woods
and eating them after first deprivina
them Of their legs declared that they
were very nice indeed and tasted like
nuts.-London Chronicle.

Bargain Sales In Japan.

Even in placid Japan they have bar
gain sales. but they conduct them on
very different principles from the
scrimmageS we have over here. An
amusing American woman has embod-
led her experiences of travelling alone
in Japan in Il most entertaining vol
ume just published, whence may be
gathered Il description of Il sale at the
greatest trading house in Japan.
The goods are not flung about. They
are shown to advantage in locked
cases, and the heads of departments
keep the keys. Remnants, however,
are laid on mats, and, though there Is
keen anxiety to secure bargains, per-
feet order and quiet prevail,
Babies tOddle about quite comforta-
bly,. others sleep on their mothers
backs. However orderly and quiet
though the Japanese bargain sale may
he, it is not free from the shoplifter,
and it is interesting to hear that the
detective is as necessary In the flowery
land as in England. The kimono sleeve
is Il useful receptacle for unconsidered
trifles.-London Ladies' Pictorial.

The UnaratefuI Cuckoo.

To hear the cuckoo's CHEEKY note you
might think he had the clearest con
science In the world He can have nei
ther memory nor moral sense or he
would not carry II off so gayly. We
say nothing of the "raptores," who are
a race apart, but the most dlsreputable
of birds, as a rule, are guilty of moth
ing worse than peccadillos. The jack
daw will steal for the mere fun Of the
thing, for he can make no possible use
Of plate or jewelry, and sometimes un
der temptation may make snatch al
q pheasant chick. Sparrows are, of
course, notorious thieves, but they rank
no higher in crime than the sneaking
pickpockets. But the cuckoo, so tC
speak, is a murderer from his cradle
He violates the sanctity of hospitable
hearth. His first victims are his own
foster brothers, and before he tries his
wings on the first fight he Is imhrued
in fraternal blood, like any Amurath
or Bazajet London Saturday Review.

Asked Too Much.

In X. +. Johnson's book, "From Pc
kin to Mandalay," the author tells the
story of poor Chinese scholar noted
for his piety, who heard the voice of
an invisible being who spoke to him
thus: "Your plety has found favor In
the sight Of heaven. Ask now for
what you most long to possess, for
am the messenger of the gods, and
they have sworn to grant your hearts
desire 81 ask" said the poor scholar,
"for the coarsest clothes and food, just
enough for my daily wants, and l beg
that l may have freedom to wander at
my will over mountain and fell and
woodland stream, free from all world
ly cares, till my llfe's end. That is all
/ ask" Hardly had he spoken than
the sky seemed to be filled with the
laughter of myriads of unearthly
voices. "All you ask" cried the mes.
senger of the gods. "Know you not
that what you demanded is the high.
est happiness of the beings that dwell
in heaven? Ask for wealth or rank
or what earthly happiness you will
but not for You are the holiest joys of
the gods"
