A Iananese Romance.

Prince Ito. the japanese statesman,
married a geisha girl who saved his
life. He was pursued during the
struggle forty years ago between the
followers of the mkado and the sho-
gun. He took refuge in a tea house,
where he implored a geisha to save
him. Every Japanese house has dust
hole. AS the ground floor is raised
about two feet above the earth,
square hole is cut in the floor to serve
as receptacle for the sweepings of
the rooms With great presence of
mind the geisha put Ito down this
hole which she covered with a board,
placing brazier on top. When the
pursuers arrived they found a languid
girl sitting by the fire, who expressed
her surprise at their visit and assured
them they were at liberty to look
through the house. After a search
they departed. disappointed. not one

The Queen of an Ant Colony.

The queen of an ant colony is at first
winged. Just as soon as she has
strength enough she picks a mate. and
they have a marriage fight. When
she comes back again she rubs off her
wings and prepares to raise a brood.
Although the queen lives to be thir-
teen years old. on an average, the only
flying she does is on her nuptial fight,
which might be compared to the hon.
eymoon of a pair of newly weds. AS
soon as she gets back to earth she
takes her abode in a piece of bark or
other suitable place and remains there
for nine months There she raises
brood of workers; these workers go
out and bring in food to the queen,
and through the workers the ant colo
ny is kept up. After the queen loses
her wings the muscles undergo a phys
Illogical change. The substance of
the muscles goes into the blood. The
queen becomes so light that she would
float on water.

The Rod Not Spared,

John Wesley's mother believed in
birching children at the earliest posi-
bic age. Each one of her family was
compelled to celebrate his fifth birth
day by learning the alphabet by heart.
In order that this task might be ac-
complished Mrs. Wesley, after issuing
strict orders that no one should dis
turb her, shut herself up for six hours
with the child and drove the letters
into his brain with the aid of a rod.
Nine. Quinet, a French contemporary
of Mrs. Wesley. was an equally firm
believer in the virtues of corporal pun
ishment, but was not sufficiently
strong to administer what she consid-
cred satisfactory fiogging. She there
fore engaged constable to call twice
a week and fog her three children. If
by chance they had not been naughty
then the punishment was referred to
the account Of future transgressions.

A Standing Joke.

Trains were always slow and far be-
tween on the branch road. Nobody
knew this better than the people at the
junction, except perhaps those on the
branch itself. 1t was an old story to
them, and the jokes about the situa-
ton were many and good. One day
the newsdealer at the junction sta
ton came home to lunch grinning
broadly to himself.
"What's the joker" asked his wife
"You look pretty well pleased with
yourself"
ooh, nothing particular" he replied,
excepting an odd fellow from the end
of the line said a funny thing.
He'd missed his train, and there
wasn't another for two hours. He
came to the counter to buy some read
ing matter. He asked for joke book,
and I said / didn't keep them. Then
he paved over the stock and finally
said, well, guess I'll take time ia

The Soldier Told the Truth and Won

During the spring of 1864 company
of Virginia soldiers was encamped
near the home of Mrs. Sawyer, a wo-
man noted throughout the neighbor-
hood for her charitable deeds. One
day, driving by the camp, she saw a
poor, sick soldier lying by the roadside
and, stopping her carriage, talked to
him for some time, asking about his
health and expressing her sympathy
She noticed while doing so that on
each hand be had two thumbs.
Upon reaching home she was haunt
ed by the recollection of the poor man,
and, although provisions of all kinds
were very scarce, she determined to
divide with him the few things she
had in the house.
After preparing the basket she re-
membered that she had not asked his
name, but. recalling his deformity,
wrote on the cover. For the soldier
with two thumbs" Giving it to a
trusted negro, with minute directions,
she sent him on horseback to the

She was much surprised at his
speedy return and asked how he had
managed to find the man so soon.

The Earth and Man.

A little sun, little rain,
A soft wind blowing from the west,
And woods and fields are sweet again
And warmth within the mountains
breast.
So simple is the earth we tread,
So quick with love and life her fame,
Ten thousand years have dawned and fled
And still her magic is the same.
A little love, little trust,
A soft impulse, a sudden dream,
And life as dry as desert dust
Is fresher than mountain stream.
So simple is the heart of man,
So ready for new hope and joy,
Ten thousand years since 1T began
Have left it younger than a boy.
