She was seated on a stool behind .her array of pastry. A coarse shawl was wrapped about her shoulders and her fin gers were busy with knitting. “Will yc give one of those for this paper?” asked the man, abruptly, while the boy stood by Interested In the experiment fo the extent that Ik: neglected his own business. The cookey vender looked up with disdainful surprise. “Iloh;'” she aaid. “Will you give me one of those or any thing cn the stand for this paper?” re peated the man.

Pa»tlnie» of .InpuncMe Children. Japanese children have an Infinite variety of sports, too varied for mention In an article of this length. Boys devote themselves to kite Hying in the spring mouths, when the winds prevail. Thcitf are singing and whistling kites in the shape of birds, animals and men. Men ‘even spend days flying monster kites so large that it takes u stout rope to hold them. Boys also spin tops, play soldier, wrestle and practice at all kinds of athletic .exercises. The fifth days of the fifth mouths of each year are boy’s festival days, on which the younger sons of the family have presents of flags decorated with representations of the daring deeds of the great men of the country, and espe cially of those of their ancestors who have been noted for bravery or wisdom. On this day and for weeks afterward the whole country presents a strange ap pearance. Every house that has hoys in the family erects a flagstr.fi to which a large cloth fish is suspended. Some of these are thirty or forty feet in length, and when they are inflated hy the breeze look like a fish swimming iu the water. These fish flags represent the carp, which has the reputation of being the most active, daring and persistent of all fish. These are qualities which hoy-? are taught to emulate. Girls play battledore and j terfereuce from, often even with the j active co-operation of, the parent.
