4 (dest Old Japanese Diary. diary in the world,accord- Japanese paper, is that of the family,landed proprietors of the icc of Easchin. The diary has conscientionsly kept by the various of the family for more than three centuries. It was begun at the time of the fall of the Takedas, who were mas ters of Easchin under Yoritomo, the great Japanese ruler. The pages of the ancient books fail to show that the Hozakas were especially distinguished either for intellect or prowess. There is no doubt,however, that they were con scientious in the discharge of their duties, and lived the peaceful lives of Japanese gentlemen. The state of the weather was naturally a matter of great importance to them, and each day they chronicled its condition. But the books have other entries as well. A short time ago a dispute over precedence took place between two branches of the same family in Easchin, each claiming to be the original line. The contestants ap pealed to the Hozaka diary and found the record of a dinner given several .hundred years ago by the head of the family to the founder of the side line The record even contained the names of the dishes eaten at -the dinner, and effec tually settled the dispute. The various volumes of the diary now fill eight chests, and form the chief treasures of the wealthy Hozaka family.—Chicago Herald. IK RIOTEBS’ HAM Mobs and Violence In the Streets of Indianapolis.

He says: “My wife was for several years in bad health, due to a complication of disorders. Friends persuaded her to take Hood's Sarsaparilla: she is certainly a good deal better since every way.’* For Ladies, Hood's Sarsaparilla is especially adapted, and will cure difficulties peculiar to the sex. Read this: “For over 2 years I suffered with a Complication of Diseases till I was a confirmed invalid, blood poor, appetite gone, bowels out of order,and miserable in mind and body. I read of such wonderful cures per formed by Hood's Sarsaparilla that I thought I would try a bottle, as. If It didn’t make me better. It could not make me worse. It Did Make Me Better and on my third bottle I found myself almost a new woman. I will gladly convince any lady, as I have proved myself, that purifying and enriching the blood, which Hood’s Sarsaparilla does to perfection.

If you get thin, there is. something wrong, though you may feel no sign of it. Thinness itself is a sign; sometimes the first sign; sometimes not. The way to get back plumpness is by careful living, which sometimes in cludes the use of Scott’s Emulsion of cod-liver oil.

Men and women hays encouraged scenes and acts of violence, and one woman displayed in a crowd a black and red dag, flaunting it about her head and then hastily con cealing it in her dress. It was the out come to the street-car strike which began recently because of the refusal by the President of the company to advance the wages of employes. Several attempts were made to start the cars, but the strikers interfered and the cars were pushed back into the barns. The Mayor took the view that he would not afford po lice protection until he was assured that the company had not men enough to properly man and run the cars. It received such as surances, and the police appeared to aid the company. No attempt was made to run the electric cars. All efforts were concentrated on the horse cars. One hundred strickers met one car at the Grand Opera House. Here a desperate encounter occurred with the police, and when the car reached Washington street, the main thoroughfare of the city, ' the mob had swellea to one thousand. Slowly the car made its way a few squares further, where at least six thousand people had gathered. Prominent among its members was a burly colored man who was foremost in trying to stop the car. The officers laid hold of him to place him under arrest. With a madden ing yell the crowd sprang upon the offi cers and the colored man was wrenched from their graso. Police Super, intendent Colbert headed a detail for his re capture. They waded into the crowd, mow ing right and left with their clubs. A heavy board, wielded by one of the crowd, descended upon the Superintendent’s head, and he fell. Another crash came, and Captain Dawson was nearly felled to the ground by au earthen vessel, which struck him orrthe head, being thrown from a window. Such actions as taese pre cluded all possibility of further leniency. Superintendent Colbert arose, pulled a re volver trovC) gh pocket and pointed them into the face.- ^ urging mass of people. Slowly, the croU>. ./Irted and the colored man was recaptured. That was no sooner accomplished than the crowd made a rush for the man who was at tempting to drive the car. “Hang him!” and simuar expressions filled the air. The driver’s name was Madison, and in an instant • he was pulled over the dashboard, and several men be labored him over the head. The police charged, and again the rocks began to fly. One huge brick struck Captain Dawi^n m the middle of the back, doubling him up with pain. A striker’s fist landed at the same time on his nose. Another missile struck Patrolman Settle on the head, cutting his helmet clear through. Patrolman Smith fared worst of all. A big stone struck him beneath his helmet on the back of the head, tearing open scalp and hair, and laying bare the bone. After severe fighting the crowd was dispersed and quieted. Smith was carried away in an ambulance. Not more than five minutes afterward some one yelled: “There goes one on Merid ian streetf’ and away went the crowd. There were two cars there guarded by a handful of police. The crowd swooped down upon them like birds 1 of prey. The officers clubbed and pounded in vain. The men’s heads seemed made of iron. In a trice the mob had the mules unhitched, and with boarse yells they pushed th^Cars into the gutter. A large - crowd of men and boys were in the gutter standing on an improvised scaffolding of boards. Into this the car was pushed, and the structure cam*, down with its load. The air h. 'd with cries of fear. Luckily no one was hurt seriously. The other -ar was backed Marylaifi-street unt. it sunk axle' deep in the mud, and there it k'pod • Both had their windows smashed, and more than one striker and policeman will wear knots on their head for the next few days. <^ohn McHugh was the driver of another damped car. He is a poor man and needed work. His plucky wire was on the car with him to lend him encouragement by her pres ence. When the car went back a gang boarded it and gave M Hugh a beating, a negro strik ing him with tone. Constable Sorters ran to his rescue. 1 «,re were no Brotherhood men the crowd . Mom he knew to release the and Sorters agreed to take him home. 0 this the crowd consented, and McHugh and his wife were escorted home under Sor ter’s protection. In another part of the city two women jumped aboard a car, rushed to the driver, threw their arms around him, and theu gave him a terrible beating. A policeman rescued him, but the women got away. In other parts of the city the mules were unhitched from cars and were stampeded, and the cars were derailed. Many arrests were made, but bail was furnished in every case. Finally all attempts to run the cars were abandoned. The Mayor stands firm by his decision, and will again afford all the pro tection to the company within his power. DR. KI L.

WOMEN’S PRISON BURNED, Two Girls Kindle a Fire That Destroys an Indiana Institution. The Indiana State prison near Indi anapolis, for the confinement of women convicts and young girl incorrigible who had committed minor crimes, was burned to the ground the other night. It was one of the largest structures of the kind in the country, built of brick and stone, and with all the latest improvements that prison ex perience could suggest. It cost $300,000. The fire was discovered early in the even ing in or near the laundry department, and was the result of mischief or something worse by three or four girls. Two of them had locked two others in a room and left them there. They cut of spite set a fire going which they could not control, and it soon neeatne so formidable that they nearly suffocated and had to cry. for help. They were rescued, but the fire was then under full headway and could not be controlled. The prisoners were all driven into the yard. In a few moments the officials thought the fire was subdued and sent the women and girls all back again, but in a half an hour the fire took a fresh start and all were set free again. The two girls who had locked the others in escaped to the city as soon as the alarm was raised. The prisoners were all brought to the city ani distributed in the rooms in the Court Housj and police station. One hundred and fifty were girls or incorrigibles ranging in age from twelve to eighteen, and the ocher fifty-three were all convicts. Several of them were life prisoners. SEVEN MECHANICS KILLED. A Misplaced Switch Caused a Dis aster at West Milwaukee, Wis. The Watertown “local” train ran into and demolished the rear end of a train loaded with employes of the West Milwaukee (Wis.) shops of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad,killing seven men and in juring several others. The trains were moving in the same direction, the workmen’s train having just left the main track on a short switch and strung itself out on a track paral lel with the main line. The switchman, Emil Bartel, failed to turn the switch after the workmen’s train, and the local, a moment later, passed on to the side traci ani tele scoped the rear car. The seven men killed were terribly man gled. The engineer of the local reversed his macfaineydnit not soon enough to avert the disasterr^The work of recovering the bodies was begun at once. Patrol wagons and ambulances were soon at hand, and in half an hour all had been removed to the morgue.

J_ RELIGIOUS READING. “THY BURDEN.” To every one on earth God gives a burden to be carried down The road that lies between the cross and crown. No lot is wholly free; He giveth one to thee. Some carry it aloft Open and visible to any eyes; And all may see its form and weight and size. Some hide it in their breast. And deem it thus unguessed. Thy burden is God’s gift. And it will make the bearer calm and strong, Yes, lest it press too heavily and long, He says “Cast it on Me, And it shall easy be.” And those who heed His voice, And seek to give K back in trustful prayer, Have quiet hearts that never can despair; And hope lights up tke way Upon the darkest day. Take thou tby burden thus Into thy hands, and lay it at his feet And whether it be sorrow or defeat, Or pain, or sin, or care, Upon the darkest day. That ely crushes out the light and life oi heaven, But borne with Him, the soul restored, for given, Sings out through all the days, Her joy, and God’s high praise. — [Presbyterian Record. GREATNESS AND SUCCESS. In general, it is not very difficult for little minds to attain splendid situations. It is much more difficult for great minds to attain the place to which their merit fully entitles them. In the first place, elevation of senti ment is almost always au insurmountable obstacle to fortune; it is an effectual barrier against a thousand easy and certain means of advancement; talents are even adverse to ad vancement. unless accompanied with vast in trepidity of soul, with a sort of courage that men of truly honest and upright hearts do not wish to possess. For if. on the one hand, they multiply our means of attaining the proposed end[ they, on the other, place our eyes in but too forcible a point of view, the obstacles we have to surmount. This im oa- venience is great, and the multiplication of our means is not always an advantage. I am persuaded that in carefully examining the conduct of those who have attained to any extraordinary fortune, we shall be tempted to belief there is nothing so sure of succeed'ng as not to be over-brilliant, as to be entirely wrapped up in oneself, and endowed with a perseverance which, in spite of all the rebuffs it may meet with, never r .'laxes in the pursuit of its object. It is incredible what may be done by dint of importunity alone; and where shal' we find the maq of real talents who knows how to be importunate enough? He is too soon overcome with the disgust inspired by all matters which have interest only for their object, with the de sire of perpetual solicitation; he is too much . alive to all the little movements visible on the countenance of the person solicited, and he gives up the pursuit. The fool sees none of these things, feris none of these things— Le nursues his object with unreraitted ardor, anu at length attains it.—[Baron de Grimm. no YOU PRAY ? David did. His circumstances, indeed, were unfavorable. A crown was upon his head. The cares of a kingdom pressed him. He might have said, “I have no time.” But he prayed much. It was one of his most in fluential habits. What proofs and illustra tions abound in those wonderful composi tions, the psalms. How touching, earnest, sublime often, were his cries unto God. How have his spiritual exercises been an incite ment ana pattern of devotion in every suc- •eeding age. Daniel did. He was indeed a statesman ^nd courtier. He lived in the midst of idola- '^e. To them his religion was'offensive. The king bade him not to pray unto Jeho vah. If he did it was at mortal peril. The great men of Babylon conspired to ma’re this very thing the means of hi« ruin. Still -fee--pravtrd^'-ifE-’dio'it,"nef' Ostentatiously, but without concealment. His religious prin ciple was stronger then his fear of men. “Three times a day he kneeled and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as afore time.” ► Paul did. It was the'first pulse and ex pression of his new life in Christ. “Behold he prayeth!” saith the Spirit. The fact was the surprising but conclusive proof of his .ipirituaf change and transition. From being Haul, the persecutor, it was thus shown he .had become Paul the Saint. However, after that event, was his life one of prayer, as veil as of heroic labor—of prayer for him- Etlf—for his countrymen—for the Gentile vorld— for the blood-bought church. Holi er, intenser, sublimer aspirations probably nover ascended from a soul this side of heaven. Jesus Christ did. It is a most impressive truth. It ought to be pondered by all who do not pray. The Saviour was perfect. He was divine’. He sustained no such relations of dependence as we sustain. He had no sins to be forgiven. There were in him no lusts to be restrained and purified. He was subject to no temptations he could not re sist. He was assailed by no enemies he could not conquer. He had life in himself. He had creative power. He had infinite merit. But he prayed. He prayed in secret with his disciples. ‘Cold mountains and the midnight air Witnessed the fervor of his prayer.” Yes—David, Daniel. Paul, Jesus Christ, all prayed. They were men of prayer. Do you pray?—[Presbyterian of the West. HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL. Three things enter into beauty—fine features, color and expression. The features, the forms of brow, nose and chin, bequests, coming often from far ancestors; our colors, too, are in the main bequests, depending on the quality of tissue and of blood the more immediate parents give it; but expression is very largely our own aflair. And, even with good features and the clearest colors, ex pression is the best part of beauty. The play of thought and will and feeling on the face—of noble thoughts, firmness, self-con trol, and pure, unselfish, gentle feelings— we can secure if we will. Ten years of habit, three years or only one, will affect expres sion much. Some one said that “Every face ought to beautiful at foity.” and another that “No old person has a right to be ugly, be cause be has had all his life in which to grow beautiful." That is to say, life’s oppor tunities of nobleness, or even forty years of opportunity, if well used, are enough to make so much within that it cannot help coming through the surface in graceful habit* of the nerves and muscles. The transfiguration of a pleasant smile, kindly lightings of eyes, restful lines of self-control about the lips, pure shillings of the face as great thoughts kindle inwardly—these things no - parent makes inevitably ours, and no fitful week or two of goodness gives them, and no schooling of the visage either, but only habitual nobleness and graciousness within: and this will give them all. Splendor from within! It is the only thing which makes the real and lasting splendor without! Trust that inevitable law of self-expression. Be, not seem! Be to seem. Be beautiful, and you will bv and by seem so. Carve the face from within, not dress it from without. Within lies the robing-room, the sculptor's workshop. For whosoever wou’d be fairer, illumination must begin in the soul—the face catches tho glow only from that side. It is the spirit’s beauty that maxes the best face, even for the evening’s company; and spirit beauty is the only beauty that outlasts the work and wear and pain of life—fThe Bombay Guardian. The only conclusive evidence of a man’s sincerity is that he gives him self for a principle. Words, money, all things else are comparatively easy to give aWay; hut when a man makes a gift of his daily life and practice it is plain that the truth, whatever it may be,^^^^ken nossession of him. ache or a pain le grown sleep Big Figures About Brooklyn Bridge. No doubt many people have wondered what becomes of the millions of tickets sold and collected annually by the Ntw York and Brooklyn Bridge Company. One who has given some thought to the subject tells what might be done with them, and incidentally gives other figures showing the magnitude of the traffic on the Bridge. Here they are just as he gave them: “Over forty-one million of people crossed the bridge in 1891 on the bridge cars and promenade. Could all the bauds which have purchased tickets be joined together at the end of the year, a circle could be formed 14,112 miles in di ameter, or 42,336 miles in circumference; a distance equal to one and one-half times around the earth. If the grand chain were suggested, and the fastest trains and ships employed, it would be nearly three months before one could make the bow and return to his place be side his partner. “A solid square of 20,634 columns of 2000 men each, covering over three square miles, or 2000 acres, could be formed of the ticket purchasers. “It would take 687,806 passenger coaches, allowing sixty persons to the coach, or 45,853 trains of fifteen coaches each to carry this crowd away. If a hundred a minute could be counted without stopping during the twenty- four hours, it would require over eight months to count them. ^ If hollow squares of 300 feet square can be conceived to be placed one upon the other, the enor mous height of nine miles would would be reached. By forming a triangular pyramid with a base of 20,460 square inches, a pyramid could be had much higher than that of “Cheops” in Egypt. If stretched out in a line, so that the head of one person would touch the feet of another, they would reach a distance of 39,179 miles. “The carriages, wagons, etc., that cross in one year would, if strung out, reach 25,732 miles, or u ore than once around the earth. ^ “It would take a trs,in of 42,458 box cars, with 2123 engines, to haul the people away, aud would, if coupled to gether, cover 322 miles, or reach from New York to Richmond. “The tickets, if joined together con tinuously, would reach from New York to St. Paul, a distance of over thirteen hundred miles, and would weigh very nearly a ton. There would be enough tickets to cover the bridge promenade to the depth of an eighth of an inch. If spread out they would cover 573,171 square feet, or thirteen acres of ground. There would be enough tickets to cover the walls, ceiling and flocrof^tl^Fifth Avenue Hotel corridor-jMM^ven times.

The introduction of the bumble bee into New Zealand a few years ago to se cure the fertilization of the red clover, and the remarkable success of this ven ture are matters of record. In a recent paper George M. Thomson presents an interesting article on the Bombi intro duced in New Zealand, giving also a list of the plants aud fiowers which are visited by these bees. He makes the interesting statement that, with a few exceptions, he has never heard of these bees visiting the flowers of indigenous plants, but states that they have become so extraordinarily abundant that the ques tion has even arisen in his mind as to whether they would not become as seri ous a pest to the apiarist as the rabbits have proved to the farmer and cultivator, on account of their absorbing so much of the nectar of the flowers. He also points out the remarkable fact in connection with the life of the bumble bee in New Zealand, that in many parts of the colony it does not seem to hibernate at all, but is to be seen daily on flowers all the year round.—Insect Life.
