 The years pass by and one bright Summers day, standing under the great over.arehing trees that guard the way to "Nik-ko," the "Sun-glory," " we noticed the people in holiday attire hanging out their little flags over the doorways and greeting each other with the words "The Eastern Temple is coming today, and we must be ready to greet him" Then 1 understood that "The Eastern Temple was the respectful designation of the Crown Prince Imperial, handed down from the very dawn of their history. No soldiers lined the road on either side to hold the people back. No flashing sabres were drawn to guard the sacred presence.
 They no longer feared, for they had seen him many times, and he had bowed to them and smiled upon them and they knew him and loved him now-for his own sake as we'll as for his Imperial Father.
 And so we stood and waited and soon we saw little company coming up the village street, The Inspector of Police in resplendent uniform led the way and close behind him walked, in company with the mayor and officers of the village, a young man of some thirty summers who chatted pleasant ly with those on either side. Dressed in suit of ordinary civilian gray, wearing hat of straw, and carrying a little bamboo cane in his hand. There was nothing other than rather strik- ing face, to distinguish him from the ordinary visitor to the great Shrines of Nikko.
 They had sent the beautifully lacquered jim .rik-shas with crests of gold from the Summer Palace to meet him at the station when the Imperial train came in, but after he had bowed to the Committee of Reception he looked up at the sky and around about him and said d-just as anyone else would fNAs said it-"h IS such c pleasant dag, K sho,tid tike Co ,eatk ~ so il came to pass rSst Yoshihito, lin- cal descendant of AmaNSsrasu, the sun Goddess, walked this eartS as an ordi' nary mortal!

Ears Of Animals.

The hearing apparatus Of animals
Is like that of human beings, but
modified to suit the conditions of the
animals life. Deer, hares, and horses,
like all animals whose life necessi-
tates keen hearing, have ears shaped
and set in the best way to catch faint
or far-off sounds. The serpent has no
ear-drums. The ear of the fish is a
membraneous labyrinth connected
with the bladder by series Of little
bones.
Though the sense Of hearing is per-
feet only In the higher animals, even
the animals that have no ears per-
ceive sounds, Instead Of ears they are
supplied with fine nerves whose func-
tion- is to note and to respond to ev-
cry touch; nerves whose receiving
centers are different from the centers
Of the purely tactile impressions. All
animals, including insects, have an
apparatus which enables them to dis
tinguish the approach Of an enemy ~

LEES IDEA OF A GENTLEMAN
Great Southerner's High Ideals Shown
by Memorandum Found Among
His Papers.

Lee hated parade, display and cere-
nony. hated above all things being
made an object of public gaze and ad.
ulation, declares a writer in the At
lantic. His idea of high position was
high responsibility; a superior was
simply one who had larger duties, and
the mark of a gentleman was a keen
sense of the feelings and susceptible
ties of others.
No one has ever expressed this at
tltude more delicately than he him
SELF In memorandum found among
his papers after his death.
The forbearing use of power does
not only form touchstone, but the
manner in which an individual enjoys
certain advantages over others is
test of a true gentleman.
THE power which the strong have
over the weak, the magistrate over the
citizen, the employer over the employ
ed, the educated over the unlettered.

The gentleman does not needlessly
and unnecessarily remind an offender
OF wrong he may have committed
against him.. He cannot only forgive,

character which impart sufficient

"ELEvATING" THE woRKINGMAN.
President Mckinley, in one of
speeches, said: SIT must be con-
ceded that the protective system
has dignified and elevated labor,
We observe it's triumphs on every
hand"
The industries most benefited
by the high protective policy are
steel, wool and cotton manufactur-
ing, and we observe the methods
by which these trusts have "dig-
nified and elevated" labor. We
observe one result of this elevat-
ing process in the Lawrence,
Mass, strike, where whole regi-
ments, with drawn bayonets, are
required to keep order among
men, women and children who
are trying to retain their present
wages Of So, 81 and So a week, in
which cut has been threatened.
The elevating process is to be
seen, in the flower of its beauty
and triumph, in the steel trusts
mills, where men are forced to
labor 72 hours q week for the same
wages paid laborers for 56 hours
work in free trade England.
Still another evidence of the ele-
waiting effect of protection on labor
is seen in the employment, by the
trusts, of thousands of children.
A BIG D1FFE RENEE.
"Millions for defence; not one
cent for tribute"
The Anne rican Woolen Mills
Company, the wooden trust, spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars
in magazine advertising, the pur-
pose of which was to "educate'
the people into seeing the justice
of Schedule "K" and the way it
was making sheep raisers rich by
paying a big price for wool, and
the way it was selling good cloth
to the American people for less
than they really ought to pay.
And then, when the workers in
it's mills objected to a cut in the |
S6 a week wages they were get
ting, the woolen company en-
ployed an army of guards to pro-
tect it's mills. When the state |
shortened the hours of labor, of |
course wages had to come down. |
OF course, that patriotic company |
wouldn't pay % cents per week to
it's operatives in order that they |
might have shorter hours and still |
get Sc week.
