UNIQUE ^FESTIVAL Feast of Lanterns on a Sacred Isl and in Japan. A Splendid Spectacle In Honor of * Japanese Victory. Describing a sojourn on Miyajima, a picturesque Japanese island, a con* tributor to the Century Magazine says: One drowsy noon the town crier came to the door, clapped two pieces of wood together, and in a long chant besought all people of Miyajirna to come to the temple for “speak-meet* ing* at two o'clock that day and for the five succeeding days, to hear read the official news from the army in Corea. We sent our agent to listen for us, and our erratic and only Inud- zuka returned breathless, to tell, in excited Japanese English, and jargon, of the victory of the Heijo. W’e had intended to make a farewell offering to the temple to secure an illumina tion asafitting close to our stay in Ar cadia, and here was an opportunity. In the shortest time Inudzuka was speeding back to the temple to beseech the high priest to have the thousand oil-saucers of the lanterns filled at once, the illumination to begin at dusk, with out waiting for the midnight high tide. The priests shook their heads at such an irregularity, such a disregard of ancient custom on short notice. “But this is an American matsuri,and in honor of the Heijo ! How can you say you have any custom for such an illumination. And when did yon ever illuminate at any tide for a bat tle won in Corea? ” And the high priest said, “Surely, surely! Yes, for Beikoku [America] and the Heijo we can do it,” And the circle of eagle- eyed, excited priests sprang delight edly to begin preparations. Our joyous sendo was at the temple steps with the sampan as usual before the sunset hour, and he had not pushed off until he let us know that the village was agog at the double news of victory and the honorable il lumination. We could see the lay brothers all along shore filling the oil-saucers, laying wicks, and pasting fresh papers on the tall stone lamps | and when we sculled back, long after sunset, lights had begun to twinkle under the temple eaves. A lantern oame forth and went bobbing along ter-line, stopped a moment, and a second light shone forth, then a third and a fourth, and so on along «hore, as the lamplighter went his way. Soon the whole curving bay from headland to headland was outlined in living lights that gleamed double a^.d wavered in long reflections toward us; and the temple was a great set piece of fireworks, each shrine a sun-goddess’s glowing cave, with the many-jeweled pyramids of votive candles. The spectacle lasted in fall splendor for more ' than an hour, the villagers flocking alongshore, trooping through the temple galleries,and drifting about in boats to watch the splendid spec tacle. Then lights dropped out here and there, and the glow of the rising moon made the firmament pale; but even when the shore-line was lost in darkness, Itsukushima’s inner shrine by the sea was still aglow with votive lights. The next morning the village offi cers called “to thunk your spirit’’ in celebrating Japan’s victories; the high priest sent sacred gift-papers filled with rice, and asked for the honorable names in full, that they might be written among the temple’s contribu tors; and when he went to the village every one bowed and made pretty Speeches about the American matsuri. Weeks later a Tokio artist wrote in his quaint idiom that he had heard of my “favorably presenting a great ■deal of money to the temple, praying for the war, and lighted the thousand lamps of Miyajima for the war. I seen it in our Japan newspapers.’ Surely never did one obtain so much pleasure and glory by an expenditure of four yen (two dollars in United States gold.) A Dag and Monkey Fight. A score and more of people at Mun- cie,Ind.,were the involuntary witnesses of one of the funniest fights to a finish imaginable. A monkey belonging to an Italian escaped from its confinement and was ambling along the street when it was attacked by a large yellow dog of mongrel breed. For several seconds there was such a blinding rush of dust that the spectators could scarcely see which was ahead, but finally the monkey broke away and scaled up a pole close at hand while the dog established himself at the foot and bayed loud and angrily. The monkey chattered in several dialecta, running ap and down, and* *11 the time keeping a wary eye on its enemy. Finally it began to slowly down the pole, and, coming within range, it bounded plnmp on the dog s back, and with teeth and claw, made the hair fly. The dog jumped and howled and shook him self the crowd yelling hoarse shouting “Go it, Tige,’’ “Hold to him,Monk.” I he dog finally flopped over on its back, dislodging the monkey, which again bounded up the pole. By this time the dog was crazed with rage and pain, and it made herculean efforts to reach its chatter ing enemy, who again brought into play the same tactics as before. A second time it landed squarely on the dog s buck, and there was a repetition in which teeth and claws played a leading role. This round resulted in a complete victory for the “monk,” the dog eventually unhorsing his enemy by rolling over, and then bounding to his feet and running away as fast as his legs could carry him. The monkey chased him for a few yards and then returned to the pole satisfied with results.—Cincin nati Enquirer. THIS IS THEIR DEPARTMENT OP THE PAPER. Quaint Sarlnss and Cute Dolus* of the Little Polk* Everywhere, Gathered and Printed Here for All Other Lit tle Ones to Kcad. Origin of “The Blue Danube.” It was originally written on a pair of cuffs. It was the linen cuff and the quick thought of the woman who wore it that gave us one of the prettiest of the tuneful Strauss’ waltzes. Johann Strauss and his wife were one day en joying a stroll in the park at Schonan, when suddenly the composer ex claimed: “My dear, I have a waltz in my head; quick, give me a •scrap of paper or an old en velope. I must write it down before I forget it.” Alas! After much rum maging of pockets, it was found that neither of them had a letter about them—not even a tradesman’s bill. Strauss music is considered light, but it weighed as heavy as lead on his brain until he could transfer it to paper. His despair was pathetic. At last a happy thought struck Frau Strauss. She held out a snowy cuff The composer clutched it eagerly, and in two minutes that cuff was manu script. Its mate followed, still the in spiration was incomplete. Strauss was frantic, and was about to make a wild dash for home, with the third part of his waltz ringing uncertainly in his head—his own linen was limp colored calico—when suddenly his frau bethought herself of her collar, and in an instant the remaining bars of “The Blue Dan ube” decorated its surface.—Toledo Bee. A Four.Year-Old Trick Rider. If Master Fenner Hodgins conti nues as he has begun, he is going to be the star trick rider of the world. He is only four years old and is an expert rider, but that is not what is so remarkable about him. He doesn’t take the trouble to wait until he gets his wheel out on the street before he mounts it His father, says the American Wheelman, lives on Sk Charles avenue, New Orleans. The boy mounts his wheel inside the house and rides down a half-dozen steps to the sidewalk, and then jumps from the curb into the street, a distance ol about a foot. And the charm about it is that he does it all with the abandon of an old trick rider. He does other astonishing things also. He can ride on one pedal, out of the saddle, and coasts while kneel ing on the saddle, with arms folded in front of him. His little sister, three years old, can steer a wheel as well as any one. He puts her up in front of him on his bi cycle and dismounts and takes her ofl without help. Shoe Manufacturers and Bicycles. “Talk about the street railways los ing by the advent of the bicycle,” says a shoe salesman, “I think it is the shoe manufacturers. Of course,there is a demand for bicycle shoes, and that practically opens a new market; but it must be a limited market when it is considered that one pair of such shoes will outlast three pairs of ordinary foot coverings, not because the shoes are better, but because they are not subjected to the scuffling wear of tht others. People ride to and from their work all the time now, where they formerly walked, or on bad roads in the cars. If a person wants to go around the corner he will get on his wheel instead of walking, as he once did. It is these thousands of steps that he saves that save the shoes and make the shoeman’s heart sad,"—New York Tribune. She Saw the Point. Beggar—Please, Mister, gimme t cent. Dude—Aw, go way! I haven’t any cents. Young lady smiles, and dnde doesn’t know whv. Where I* She? Frisky as a lambkin, Busy as a bee, That’s the kind of little girl People like to see. Modest as a violet.

An Irishman once went hunting, and saw a redblrd and shot at It.

Willie and his big sister Lizzie didn’t get along together very well. Willie was only 7 and his sister 17, but he re lented her “bossing.” One day Willie's mamma had some thing to tell him, a piece of news from the household of his still older sister, who had been married a year before. “Willie,” said mamma, “God left little baby at sister Mary’s house last night You’re an uncle now, my boy. flow do you like that?” “Well," said Willie, after weighing the matter over carefully a minute, ‘I’ll Just tell you this. If I am Uncle Will, Lizzie ain’t goln’ to boss me no more.”—New York World. Blake the Ball Roll Into the Hand. Here Is a quaint old puzzle that you may be interested In solving. Look ffosely at the hand and the cross and the ball. At the ordinary distance from the eye (seven or eight inches) the ball Is about an Inch from the in dex Auger. If the paper Is approach t ?d to the face with the nose opposite the dagger the ball will appear to move toward the hand and to rest on the top of the Index Anger. By then mov ing the paper slightly the effect may oe produced of the ball’s rolling along the top of the Anger and then of being ••lasped by the hand. The Illusion is more pronounced if the drawing is en larged to three or four times the size shown. Queer Children. Cota Adont Two A story comes from tne far West of two lonesome old cats that brought up and oared for four frisky young coyotes. The coyotes were only 2 or 3 day^ old when captured about three weeks ago. The old cats had lost their fanr.lles of kittens, and the coyotes were placed with them. They at once made friends with the little howlers, and fondled them as they would their o.wn offspring, and the coyotes seemed satlsAed with their foster-mothers. At first, not being pleased with the bed fixed for them in the barn, the cats carried their adopted kittens to the house several times. They defend their unnatural family upon the ap proach of a dog with all the fuss and fury characteristic of the cat tribe. It is a question, though, whether or not the savage animals will returu the affection of their foster-mothers when they grow a little older. Wine at Parties. Sometimes the girls wonder what, they will do when they go Into society where wine Is offered. Some will be brave and say, “No, I thank you.” very quietly and In a ladylike way, or what is better, they will turn down their glasses at Arst and have it under- itood. That it what Mrs. Cleveland, the President's wife at Washington, does. We suppose she would like to give her dinner parties without wine, too, as Mrs. President Hayes did when 5he was mistress at the White House. One of the cabinet ladles. Secretary Carlisle’s wife, does that now. Not long since she gave a dinner party to President and Mrs. Cleveland, and there was no wine nor liquors on the table. There were two glasses to each plate, one for Potomac water and the other for Apolllnaris water. The good time Is coming when people will no longer put this fateful poison alcohol on their tables In any shape, and you girls will be glad to help It along. The Lost Dost. There are a great many touching sights In a great city, but none much more so than to watch a lost dog. At Arst there Is a look of startled surprise on his face when he loses the scent, quickly followed by a grim sort of humor, as though pretending his bewil derment is but a Joke. He circles round and round, and his face grows thin and his eyes almost human In their anxious pleading. He starts off in one direction sure that he has found the trail; he is baffled, turned back. He looks in the faces of all who pass as If questioning to know his way. He thinks he recog nizes his master and Is off like a Aash. only to return more anxious and eager than Ixffore. He gives hlmqelf no rest, hut doubles and pursues and turns hack, until all hope Is dead In his faith-, ful canine breast, and he starts off with 4e man Alngs a stone at him or kicks tn as he Ales by. and the cry Is raised, tad dog! Kill him!” So the great host Idlers In ambush, who wait the op- rtunity for mischief as bees await I blossom of the buckwheat, aire turn- ' loose upon his truck and his doom Healed. From a lost dog to a hunted ; i dead cur is an easy transition.— Qcago Herald.
