IR Japan the "Sunrise Kingdom," R is called, the calendar is divided Into the time of the blossoming of the flowers. The camellia, sometimes shrouded in snowflakes, helps to ush er in the New Year; then, arter a few weeks of cold thins and dull skies, the branches cf the withered old black plum trees are starred with fragrant white flowers, followed soon by the cherry-blossoming, and until November, when the brilliant maple leaves light up the scene, this gentle people count the seasons in flowers. In this little village mest of the cottages had thatched capt on their heads. Some were worn with ag& and rain, but Dame Nature had patched them with velvety mosses until the whole village looked like a picture. There were only two street* and these ran almost at right angles like a rude cross. The sea, curving far inland, hugged the houses with caps of thatch on two sides, so that one could hardly help looking out over the water wherever he stood. Even though they wearied of the sea's rough caresses they could not run away, for great hills guarded them at the rear, and only stepped away a little at one side to let the smiling rice fields climb down, terrace by terrace. by terrace. If you have never seen a Japanese rice field you would be surprised to aee one. The plants are set cut IB the mushiest mud that you can think of. The workmen wade up to their knees in this thin mud and set out the plants; then, as they grow up, there are men and boys who weed them, stooping all day until their backs are weary. At first tne field looks like a great pond cr lake; then aorae morning you look across It and It 1* all emerald green. A week or Bo later, the wind blowing across it ripples the rice stalks like long, green waves and it is beautiful. Rais ed paths cross the field and inclos3 them, and in the corners are great beds of pink lotus flowers, something like pink water-lilies, with broad, flat, pad-like leaves. If you look across the Helds at nightfall, you may occasion ally see a crane Atanding on one foot, and looking like a bird stuck down on a long black stick. If the crop ma tures early In the season you wjll hear more frogs croaking than you ever heard before, for the fine, fat bugs that live in th° mud are just to frog taste. Looking down on the fields from high up Biffe it looks as th«« the motinfaln som-.eie had made them to order. !• ^«1« J if a ter race on the atee-> si jp_ aau shoved each one In, for there is a level space with a rice field slid over it, then a climb and another field, sometimes four or five in succession. When the rice begins to ripen the birds must he kept away by boys with wooden clackers, siwnetbing like those our boys play with. But the fields are wide and the birds so hungry snd ag gravating, that it could net by any stretch of the word be called fun for a wideawake boy. But wo must go back to the little village with thatched roofs and the merry crowd In the streets. There were women in gay kimonos of silk and crepe, with huge sashes snd wooden clogs, their hair piled high In black colls. There were little maids like women of small size, only the wee maid's sash was soft and the grown-up sash was stiff and wide. The babies were strapped on the back of mother or sister, but some learned to cling and get a comfortable position. Their heads, bare and shining, ex cept for a few tufts of black hair, wobbled and bobbed as If they would roll off, but their soft, tiny bands clung tightly to the neck of the bear er, and they never cried. There were little men |n long robes, jinriksha runners In washbowl-shaped straw hats, laborers with bare brown legs wearing blue coats with big let ters stamped on the back, and over head danced gay banners and lan terns. Of all the crowd, only the little brown babies* were silent, all tho others were chattering and laughing. As I went up the street at a good pace in my tvo wheeled baby eab, which they call a jinriksha, with the gay crowd dodging «,ut of the way of the runner who held the shafts and acted as my horse, I felt just Ilk« a peg; uut of a story book, or like one Of th« pictures. We wert $11 going to set ths cherry tre:» at the park, N«w I bftd $e«a ffe« tbtrry tr??9 it rw ing like those pink-tinged double blos soms as large as a double rose, cover ing every branch and twig; nothing like these clouds of odorous pink, caught and held down by the Clinging black branches. There were no green leaves, these come later on the cul tivated trees;* only the fleecy pink cloud of bloom, and under the trees was a drift of pink show from fallen petals. Benches were set close together un der the trees, snd people were drink ing tea served by tidy maids from the teahouse near by. Yet they were not benchea, they aero tiny low tablet, about like a doll teble, before which they squatted on tb ir heels. Now my muscles sre not limber enough to sit long or comfortably in that position. Even the babies of that land are taught to sit on their heels, instead of putting their feet out In front of them, as our babies do, so their mus cles are trained to it. But I went a little to one si^e and sat down on the grass with my American walking shoes sticking their to< * out in front of me and enjoyed the scene. Japanese people are v ery polite and kindly, and as I war«! ni the darling children In scarlet, yo ow and laven der, chattering and caching at their edd toys of paper and feathers, one solemn lHtle girl, looking like a- bit of rainbow, came timidly toward me with a cup of tea and some sweet meats. ' I quickly went down into the pocket of my memory for some of my best Japanese, and came up with enough of it to say, "Thank you; come and sit by me," and she squatted beside me. Everyone is gay and ready for fun when the cherry trees bloom, so I was soon surrounded by a crowd of curious little people, all looking wonderingly at the strange foreigner who ied so unusual there, and yet couid talk with them, and we were soon quite well acquainted. I drank the tea and ate the sweet meats, which were round balls made cf rice, and they showed me their toys. Japanese children have nu poc kets in their quaint, long gowns, but the sleeves, wide and reaching to the knees, made an excellent substitute, and out of them came tops and balls, little toys made of paper and rice straw to imitate figures aud boats, and w* had plenty to talk about for and w* had plenty to talk about for awhile. Then the gay little butter flies flitted off to chase each other down the long aisles of the tree trunks. All but one, a maid whose name, as she told me, was O-Ume, which means Honorable-Flower-of-the Plum. In that country they name little girls after flowers aud graceful things, the O meaning honorable, a title of respect. There are many such names as Ear-of-Ycung-Rlce, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum, Spring-time. OUme, with her kimono of yellow crepe em broidered in pale green leaves, sat beside me, as eager to hear about American girls as you are to hear about her. So I told her of one and another; of Margaret, who lived in a great city and took long rides on street cars to our own parks; of Eliz abeth, who lived on a farm and fed the chickens, cared for the baby tur keys and learned to make butter. We talked so long that the shadow* deepened, and the sunset turned the clouds of cherry blossom golden rose, like real clouds, and over the brow of the hill came Che Japanese mam ma to take her little daughter home. After a few moment's conversation I found that O-Ume's home was near mine, so I begged her company in my jinriksha, fer she was a little mite, and I am ivet large, so wc could easily ride together. Hand in hand we walked down the avenues of tree* to the granite gate way, where the sturdy runner sat with a group of others. Climbing in, we snuggled clc«e together and join ed the gay colored, chattering crowd homeward. Over the curved bridges and past the Ictus lake we rolled, the funny w'ashbowl-shapcd hat of the runner bobbing up and down In front of us. At one side of the read in the dis tance was the sea, and now and then under the glow of the sunset Cashed the running of the surf. At the other side was a sea cf green reaching to the far-off mountains, a vast sea of riec fields, rippling Into waves when the broeze blew across it. Beyond was Fujiyama, shade ry in the twi light, and as we carte *nto the village with Its houses In their thatched caps lights were twinkling far out on the horizon line from tho fishing boats riding at anchor, and nearer lights gleamed from the open houses. ; Then O-Ume slid a little brown band Into mine, with a soft Sayonara. good-bye, as the runner stopped, and I went In to my supper of rice, fish and tea, served by a quiet maid with hair as black as the night that -was about us. w in ed but his on lay to pile the has over then him. tire liant to at haps hi and the to fire.

From an investigation made by the medical officer of the London County Council it- is estimated that one in every 2,000 of the population of the City of London is homeless. % A census of the persons who could not pay for a night's lodging in the cheapest of lodging houses and passed the night out of doors in th3 streets, cr under arches, or in the recesses of front doors, or on landings and stair cases of tenements where the doors had been left open, revealed such a number In a certain district that the officer felt justified in making the es timate presented to the council. On the night this Investigation was un dertaken there were 6,000 vacant beds in the lodging houses.—New York Medical Record. Woman Predicted Her Own Death. Near Cynfhiana, Mra.

J tt YOUNG INDIANS AT PLAY. Amuse Themselves In the Same Fsehion ae White Children. As soon as ths Seminole child Is four years old be Is set to work at some light task about the house. He stirs the boiling soup, watches the Are and replenishes it with sticks of wood, aids in kneading the dough for breed, washes and pounds the "koon tl" root, a sort of potato, and contrib utes in many ways to help his mother in her work, says the Minneapolis Times. But the children have plenty of time for play, too. The little girls have dolls made of sticks, with pieces of rag wrapped around them, and they are as fond of them as white girls are of their wax dolls with winking eyes. The Indian children build little houses for their dolls and call them "camps,'* while the boys take little bows and arrows and go into the woods to shoot small birds, Eaylng when they return: "We have been turkey hunting." Boys and girls sit around a piece of earth into which they stick blades ' of grass and call It a cornfield. One amusement of which the little Seminole Indians are fond is playing with teetotums. They take a dried deer skin and peg it out tight on the ground. Then they take the round roots of a peculiar grass called "defer foot" and thrusting through them little sticks about as thick as a match and twice as long, they set them whirling on the deer skin by rubbing the up per end of the stick quickly with the palms of the hands. This they call "having dance." The Seminole boys and girls have a bad habit of eating between meals. A big kettle filled with stewed meat aud vegetables always Btands ready with a big spoon in It for any:ne who happens to feel hungry, and they will sometimes even get up in the middle of the night to take a spoon ful of stew. The streams of the Seminole coun try abound in fish, and the Indians soon become good fishermen. But their ambition Is to be trusted with a shotgun and as soon as they are old enough they are allowed to take one and go into the woods to shoot wild turkeys. When the Seminole hoy is allowed to do this he counts himself no longer,« child, but a man. A COOL OFFICER. He Faced an Angry London Mob and Got Fair Play. During the reform riots in Hyde Pa 1«. London, in I860, the mob on a w a remembered night began tear lug down the fences of Hyde Park for fires and barricades. Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higglnson tells in the Atlantic Monthly of an Eng lish officer who was dining with a friend, all unconscious of the im pending danger. Presently he receiv ed a sum ions from the war depart ment, tell!"g him that his regiment was ordered out to deal with the mob. He hastened back to his own house but when he called for his horse he found that his servant had received permission to go out for the evening and had the key of the stable in his pocket. The officer hastily donned his uniform and then had to proceed on foot to the guards' armory, which lay on the other side of Hyde Park. Walking hastily in that direction, he came out unexpectedly at the very headquarters of the mob, where they were already piling up the fences. His uniform was recognized, and angry shouts «rose. It must have Seemed for the moment to the mob that the Lord ha/1 delivered their worst enemy Into their hands. There was but one thing to b9 done. He made bis way straight to ward the center of action and called to a man who was mounted on the pile and was evidently the leader çf the tumult: "I say, my good man, my regiment has been called, out by Her Majesty's orders. Will lyou give me a hand over this pile?(' The man h »sitated a minute and then said, with decision: "Boys, the gentleman is itighL He Is doing his duty, and we have no quarrel with him. Lend & band and help him over. This was uromptly done, with en tire respect, and the officer In bril liant uniform went hastily on his way amid three cheers from the mob. Then the mob returned to Its work, to complete dt If possible before he whom they aided should come back at the head of his regiment and per haps order tfhem to be shot down. ' V Education.

At a social gathering, some time ago, a number of deaf mutes were present. Refreshments were served during the evening, and In handing a ■mall glass of wine to one of the guests a deaf mute gentleman hap pened to spill a few drops on bis wife's skirt. Tho wife Is also a deaf mute, and it was evident that she took the mishap in a rather irritable way. She wrinkled up her forehead and at once made a series of remarkably swift movements with her nimble fin gers. The husband, looking exceed ingly apologetic, made a few motions in return. One of the guest}, who had noticed this little by-play, slyly slipped out a alt of paper, and penciling something on tt handed It to a friend. This is what the letter read: "No matter how Badly afflicted, woman can still scold." The friend scribbled this in return: "Tea; but in the present case the husband is luckier than the average.

A writer on beauty in one of the society papers urges her reader* never to wash the face with soap anc water, as being certain destruction to a fine complexion. I cannot in dorse this view. Cleanliness is absolutely necessary to the beauty and delicacy of the tex ture of the skin. If soap is not liked, at least oatmeal should take Its place, and pure cr distilled water In variably be used. I once saw the re sult of only washing the fact with milk in a lady who started life with a good complexion, but before she reached middle age had lost all fresh ness, and showed a faded skin cov ered with fine wrinkles. Nothing equals the complexion of the country woman who rises early, is much in the open air, and bathes freely in cold water. The homely idea of washing in the dew of the morning as an aid to beauty is simply a practical way ol expressing this fact.—Lady Grevlile In London Graphic. I Neceaeary.
