the land, that it may be, fit to receive
sunshine and rain. When you have
done this, SOW the seeds and cover
them with earth; then you will reap
fruit in abundance for your susie
nance and enjoyment. Watch and
guard the field well, that the wild
beasts may not enter and destroy it"
After the father had spoken thus,
he died, and they buried him.
Then the son separated, and went,
as their father had commanded them,
to different parts of the island, TAX
ing the seed with them.
When the eldest son arrived at the
part allotted to him, he took the seed
which his father had given him, and
said: why should l do this wrong
to the earth, and labor to pierce her
breast with the iron of the plough?
The sun will not fail to warm, and
the rain to moisten her, that she may
bring forth fruit" Then he strewed
the seed on the hard ground; but it
did not grow, nor yield any fruit.
So the eldest son was wroth, and for
got the gift of his father.
The second son went towards the
south; when he arrived at the place
where he should dwell, he saw that
it was a very pleasant place, and he
said in his heart: '"Why should 1
take the trouble to till the ground,
SO long as the land yields of itself
provision in ab%undance?" And he
threw the seed aside and left it.
After he had consumed the fruits of
the land, he sowed the seed of his IA
Their; but it grew not, for the worms
had gnawed it, and he sowed nothing
but husks. Then he scorned the gift
of his father and forgot it.
But the youngest son did as his
father had commanded him. He chose
the best ground, MANFRED and dug it
with great care, made a fence all
round, and sowed the seed. Then the
seed put forth blades, and grew and
yielded fruit sixtyfold and a hundred
fold. Thus he did for several sue
cessive years, and his fields increased
in number, and the harvests were
more and more plentiful, and he and

THE ANUS OF JAPAN.

The ANUS, the Celtic race of Japan,
live in the island of Yeddo, although
the race has become so reduced that
there are now not more than 10000
or 10000 of them left in the country.
The most noticeable popularity about
Ainu women is that they have ia
tooed upon their upper and lower lips
what resembles a m~ustache. The
women are not considered attractive,
and their matrimonial prospects are
quite injured without this decora-
ton. The mustache is begun when the
girl is quite a child. 1t is done grad
ually, a little each year, until it ex-
tends partly across the cheek, the
material used being the SCOT from
burning birch bark. The face is cut
and the black rubbed in. Afterwards
it is washed in a solution of ash bark
liquor to fix the color. The Ainu
women are usually finely formed,
straight and well developed, with
small hands and feet. Their eyes are
beautiful soft brown, their hair black

THE CHILDREN.

God bless the children. They are a
world of care and trouble; they bring
pain and WEAKNESS and sorrow, but
are worth it all. Do you remember
after that weary day when you were
harsh and irritable and they went to
sleep with a sob, what bright, fresh
faces they brought to you in the
morning? How full of tenderness and
forgiveness children are =! How quick
to forget unkindness! How fine is
the intelligence with which they look
beneath the surface and know that
the irritable, nervous creature of the
night before is not the real mother,
but the serene. gentle woman of the
morning whom they love with deep
devotion. They are the. beautiful ex-
amples of the truth that sorrow may
endure for the night, but Joy cometh
in the morning. BY their love and
brightness they repay us hourly for
every struggle we may endure for
them.

A LEGEND OF THE HEBRIDEs.

One day Christ and His Mother Tin

ing ver the gray, treeless islands,
met a poor orphan girl who was work
ing in hard drudgery. Our Lady
asked her Son to help the orphan, and
He put it into the mind of the miller,
who was also a carpenter Ca combina-
ton common enough in the Hebrides),
to marry the girl. But she soon for
got her poverty and gave herself
great airs. And when the Mother and
Son came again to see her she hardly
cold December day, she gave them a
place far from the fire, while she
went fussing about her ~housework.
At last they rose to go, and all she
gave them was a ladleful of grain.
Then the Mother and her Son went
to the mill and asked the miller, her
husband, to grind the grain for them.
But he said there was so little of it
it would break the quern (millstones).
1T is food for the needy" said
Christ, "and no harm will arise if you
grind it"
So the miller gave the stones a turn
or two, and then went on to his work.
Soon God put it into his heart to look
to the grist, and he found that the
ladleful of grain had filled the chest
with meal of the finest quality. The
travellers took part, while the miller
went into the house to ask if any n
had called that day. His wife an

There were schools where the eX-

two, she began to hear discussions

hardly wait for Rosie's paper.
The time came at last. The class

the pile and opened Rosie's paper.
The composition was blithe and
boastful. 1t listed lightly a fabulous

To feel sc will not pay the fare,
There is a gross as we'll as tare,
A handcar and a lorry;
A lemon eve is a lime,
A nickel never is a dime,
You, maybe, never are in time,
Don't worry,
Don't think it's always going to rain
Don't say it gives me just a pain,
And even if you miss the train,
Don't hurry;
If yonder wise old goose so gay,
Gets wind of you and flies away
Before your gun gets into play,
Don't worry!
There's just as good fish in the sea
AS that great big one in the lee
Which swamped the boat-'twiXt you

So sorry;
Nor is there any kind of fun
So are but it will come again
Your midnight moon will turn to
sun
Don't worry!
What if you sometimes get a kick?
What tho a false friend you may
pick?
No reason why you fall down sick
Just bury.
Clean off the slate-look at the sun
And laugh it off; of course you can
The true course other men have run,
Don't worry.
Why should you cry if things run
wrong?
No frown is better than a song,
The darkest cloud can't linger long,
Nor tarry;
The silver lining from above,
The heart that's really treasure trove,
Rolls onward not from hate, but love.

ROSIE'S MOTHER.

Clearing her desk for the night,
Miss Harlow heard footsteps out in
the hall-shy, hesitating steps that
did not sound like those of a child
or a teacher, or of an angry parent.
Her hands full of papers, she waited
curiously, until the stranger came
into view. She was right; it was
neither child nor teacher, nor parent
with a grievance. Yet it was a mother
there vas no question about that.
She was speaking timidly.
II am looking for Miss Harlow"
Il am Miss Harlow. Won't you
come in?"
Her visitor entered and sat down.
She was very nervous Her soft,
troubled eyes pleaded for sympathy.
Its my little girl, Rosie-Rosie
Doran. She's real pretty
Rosie is bright as well as pretty
Miss Harlow answered.
A flash of pride illumined the face
of Rosie's mother and made it for a
moment incredibly younger.
"Yes'm, she is. II want Rosie to
have things nice. / do everything |
can, but her fathers been sick so
much. And Rosie thinks somehow
that | don't want to get her things.
She don't understands girl like her
couldn't. 1 thought maybe-Rosie
said you were so nice to talk to-
maybe you could help me some way.
She thinks a lot of you."
Miss Harlow read the whole story
clearly in the soft, timid eyes. When
Rosie's mother went, at last, with a
CLEAN of comfort on her tired face,
Miss Harlow sat thinking until the
%janitor came to close the building.
But then she had her idea.

Indispensable, the most womanly wom-

tender, sweet affections that bind par

JAPAN'S

There was no written language in
Japan till Chinese characters were in
troduced into Japan from Korea in
the reign of the Emperor DIN, in 2S5
A. D. The inconvenience caused by
Chinese characters led afterward to
the invention Of katakana and hira-
CANA, the Japanese syllabary, which
contributed much toward improving
the national language.

WHEN THE MOON is EcLlPsED

A curious feature Of a total eclipse
of the moon is the fact that although
the earth's shadow is larger than the
moon-though smaller than the earth
the silver rim of the eclipsed planet
may be seen at total eclipse. This is
due to the fact that rays of sunlight
are refracted, or bent in, by the
earth's atmosphere until they curve
back to the edge of the moon.

No doubt there are a few men who
can look beyond the husk or shell of
a fellow-being-his irregularities, awk-
wardness, or eccentricity-to the hid
den qualities within; who can discern
the diamond, however encrusted: but
the majority are neither so sharp
eyed nor SO tolerant, and judge a per-
son by his appearance and his de-
meanor more than by his substantial
qualities.-MdtheWS.

OUR FIRST B~ATTLEsHIP.

The first American batleship was
the old Texas of Spanish-American
wal fame. She was authorized by con-
gress in 1886 and was completed six
years later. The original battleship
was little over 300 feet long and had
a displacement of 6,315 tons. The
present day Texas is 554 feet long and
has a tonnage of $4,000 tons. The
old Texas ended her days as a target
for navy practice.

The Russian language is particu-

Here r a few:
God waits long, but hits hard.
Modesty is a maiden's necklace.
Sorrow kills not, but it blights.
BE born neither wise nor fair, but
