Vassar students of 1879 and 1880 doubtless remember the Japanese girls Stamatz and Singhi, who were sent over by the government along with half a dozen more little maids to be educated in America. It was at the time when Japanese people were beginning to be eager to ac quire everything that was good in western thought and western meth ods of life. The boys were encour aged to visit Europe and America and seek degrees in the schools. The girls, to the number of eight or ten, were sent over at the expense of the government. All of these girls were of gentle birth, and sev eral belonged to the nobility. It is interesting to learn the result of the experiment from a lady who recent ly visited these girls in their Japa nese homes and who writes about her visit to the Pall Mall Gazette. At Vassar Stamatz was brilliant and ex clusive and very beautiful. She took high honors in English literature, wrote charming essays and spoke English with a slight accent of course, but her vocabulary and her use of it were flawless. She was president of her class in her sopho more year and was a member of the "Shakespeare," a club always con fined to the girls who were first in tellectually. Stamatz played a won derful game of chess and excelled at ^Singhi was never president of any thing, but every one loved her. Slie was invaluable at the fortnightly "candy pulls," splendid on a sleigh ride, and she spent half of her time in the infirmary coddling sick girls. She got through her examinations with eminent respectability, spoke very broken English and wrote it stiffly but correctly. Singhi was plain, dumpy and nearsighted, toith a wee flat nose and in every feature broadly Japanese. Stamatz on her return to Japan made a brilliant marriage. Her hus band was an old man of high posi tion, great power and immense wealth. His wife has become a noted hostess and speaks French and English fluently as well as German and Italian. She received an old time friend who called upon her at her home with all lier old time gra ciousness, served tea and cake from an English service and talked as en tertainingly as ever about the books she read in America, but lier face grew listless when Vassar was men tioned. When the college paper for which in her student days she wrote such clever articles "was spoken of, she said she believed they sometimes sent her a copy, but she wasn't sure. She had not read a printed page of French or English since her. return to Japan. Evidently she had spent the 10 years in exile because the mi kado thought it best. Slie wore the costume of Japanese women, save that her hair was coiled in the sim ple Greek fashion, and her bronze slippers were of Parisian make. A noted European called upon the Countess Olyama, as she is now known, with a Japanese gentleman. The Jap bent seven times to the floor when Stamatz entered. "Countess.' the OF REMEDY.

But I am extremely glad to meet you." She smiled and made his call delightful, but she never for gave him. Stamatz was born to the purple, and she loved it. She is four times a mother and four times a stepmother.

She had never seen the hus band or heard of him, but she in stinctively knew who he must be and adopted him in her little mother ly way. She had forgotten most of her imperfect English, and at first the two friends could barely under stand each other. But she over whelmed the visitor with questions about everything and everybody they had known in their school days. She sent for her five little children, and they bobbed queer little cour tesies with their queer little bodies and ran away laughing. The only suggestions of Europe in tlie little bit of a home were three old books and a box of cigars, which the host ess brought out for the gentleman with her gleeful laugh. But never theless the empress has founded a girls' college in Japan, and she (Singhi) is professor of the piano. Met Ills Match. Tlie Russian marshal, Suvaroff. was famous as a jester and was fond of confusing the men under liis com mand by asking them unexpected and absurd questions. But occasion ally he met his match. Thus one bitter January night, such as Russia only can produce, he rode up to a sentry and demanded: "How many stars are there in the sky?" The soldier, not a whit disturbed, answered coolly: "Wait a little, and I'll tell you.'' And he deliberately commenced counting, "One, two, three," etc. When he had reached 100, Suvaroft •who was half frozen, thought it high time to ride off—not, however, with out inquiring the name of the ready reckoner. Tlie next day the lattei found himself promoted.—Million. •4* THE 8EER'8 RATIONS. Hakes sunbeams, spring waters.

Every mine that has an entrance on the level is infested by rats, an'' there is no surer indication of a co ing disaster than a general exod of the rodents. As surely as th rats are seen leaving th© mine, just so sux*ely will a cavein occur in the next day or two. Some miners are superstitious about the matter and fancy the rats are endowed with foresight, and so they are. but not of the kind that is commonly imagined. A cavein never takes place with out warning. For days before a fall of any portion of the roof of the mine the eartli and rock are slowly settling into position for the grand crash. The rats feel the motion of the mass, prob ably hear the cracks that are caused by the settling of the layers, and im agine, if a rat can be supposed to have any imagination, that the earth is becoming alive, so they be come panic stricken and rush out in swarms. It has often happened, both in this country and Europe, that the miners refused to go into a mine that the rats had deserted, and the caution was invariably justified by the event.—St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. Wanted a Substitute. A Kobe (Japan) paper copies a curiotts advertisement which has been hung out on the board by a rich man at Matsuragata, Nagasaki. The notice explains itself: "When my daughter was sick, I prayed the Kompira of Sanuki province for her recovery, pledging to let her pay a thanksgiving visit to the temple by creeping on her hands and feet all the way through in imitation of cat tle if she recovered. The prayer wag heard, and she.recovered by the mi raculous influence of the almighty deity. But after all it is impossible for a tender girl to .creep several hundreds of miles to Sanuki. I should therefore like to find a sub stitute for her, and if any one offer ing himself or herself for such be found suitable to the task I will offer such a person $1,000." A Singular Product of Hawaii. One of the most singulai products of Hawaii is a vitreous lava known as "Pele's hair." It is a silky, fila mentous substance, olive green or yellowish brown in color, soft, but brittle. It has been thought to be pro duced by the wind catching the fiery spray thrown up from the great cm ter of Kilauea (which the Hawaiian* long since personified as tlie fire god dess Pele), but the real cause of the lava forming into such soft, silky fibers is believed to be the gas and steam escaping through the lava. Nearly all the native birds of Hawaii use it as a nest building Material. St. Louis Republic. A Rocking Chair on S!ii]boarl. A man who travels much on coast wise steamers and is liable to sea sickness has found a partial remedy which is 'certainly ingenious. It consists of using a rocking chair in stead of an ordinary steamer chair. The motion is what he experiences often on shore and produces no ill effects. When it is too rough for this action to be preserved, he be comes sick.—Exchange. It costs the English people $2,000. 000 in taxes each year to pay for the transmission of the press messages over the goverainent wires, as the press rate of twopence for each 100 words doesn't begin to pay the cost of sending the matter. That part of Boston known as the north end is strictly of a cosmopoli tan character. On a certain street there are displayed signs in Italian. Spanish, Portuguese, French, Rus sian, Hebrew, German, Norwegian and Danish. Sentiment is as old as anything else, as is indicated by the discovery in Egyptian tombs dating back B. C. 2000 of wedding rings engraved with a heart and two clasped hands Courtship among the Australians consisted in watching a village until a desirable woman came out alone, then knocking her down with a club and carrying her off. Next to bis mother and a good wife a man can have no better friend than a bank account.—Troy Press. HUNTER AND QAME FROZEN. Magular Discovery of a Man and a Dwr In a Hlock of loc. James Smithers, an English resi dent of Haliburton, Ont., while out hunting with a party of visitors from the old country recently, met with a singular adventure, which also led to as singular a discovery. A band of moose, the first seen that far south for many years, had been driv en down by the scouts of the expedi tion, and it was while in full chase of these that the others swept on, leaving Smithers to follow. Wish ing to overtake them as quickly as possible, he took a short cut across the country and was astonished all at once to find himself sinking. He fell about six feet, but owing to the de scent of the loose earth with him sustained no injury. He was amazed to find the bottom of the pit com posed of solid ice of a brackish taste and evidently of nntold age. Walking about the pit Smithers made out an object protruding from the icy foundation, and with his short hunting ax cut away the sur rebutting material until he saw that the object was a human hand hold ing a spear. Further excavation re vealed the entire figure of a man clad in fur garments and perfectly preserved by his cold bed. Near at hand were also the remains of a deer, which the liunter had doubt less lost his life in pursuing to this treacherous spot. The frozen man was an lix'ian of noble build and wore a chief's amulet about his neck. That he died of cold was plainly to bo 6eeu by his expression, which was the placid one of persons who die thus. The skin of his face and hands was drawn and like parch ment, but that protected by his cloth ing was firm and natural, as if death had come within the hour. When found by his friends, Smithers was trying to reinter the corpse in order to preserve it, but the action of the air had already begun, and the body soon wasted away in rapid dissolu tion. It is impossible to say how long it had kin buried in the natural ice-, house—perhaps before Henry Hud son tailed the hay to the east per haps when Christianity was dawn ing on earth or tlie pyramids in course of costruction.—Chicago Her ald. A Charily Appreciated. I heard a little story tlio other 1ny that would bo comical if it were not so pathetic. A lady who lives in the suburbs employs a man to work on the grounds about her place who had the misfortune to lose his wife. She left him with a young child. The little fellow was neglected after his mother's death, and one day the lady after getting a new suit of child's clothes throughout brought him into her house, gave him a fine bath, combed his tangled hair, and after dressing him in the fresh garments fed him to repletion and sent him on his way rejoicing. He seemed to have great fun while he was in the tub, but his benefac tress little suspected what would be the sequel. About an hour after ward she heard the sound of chil dren's voices, and tlio bell rang. Go ing to the door herself she saw her little protege on tho step, holding by the hand another urchin, whose filth beggared description. With a beam ing smile the laborer's son looked up in her face and said: "Please, dear, good lady, you love to wash little boys won't you please wash Charlie too ?"—Boston Herald. Knowing I'arsons. There is the story of a gentleman who inadvertently slipped a blue poker chip into tho church collection plate and then called upon his pas tor with an apology for his careless ness and a silver dollar instead of the chip. "Oh, no," said the man of God knowingly, "that's not enough. A blue chip is worth $5 in your game.'" An Oklahoma divine was even shrewder. "The collection will now be taken,'" he said, "and I wish to remark fur ther that poker chips don't go any more. Get 'em cashed before you come and bring the money. I am forced to this decision by the fact that some of the brethren have been shoving off chips of their own mak ing on us and letting the laugh be on us when we went to get them cashed at the Dewdrop Fortune par lors."—Fibre and Fabric.
