Coal (iirls of Japan. Young girls in Japan are employed to perform a task which cannot be done in the same time and with the same ease by any other body of work folk in the world. They are engaged at the different ports in leading the large steamers with coal. The coal barges are swung alongside the vessel, from stem to stern of which is hung a series of platforms, the broadest nearest the base and diminishing as they rise. On each of these platforms a girl stands. Men on the barges fill baskets containing about two buckets of coal each and pass them to the girl standing 011 the lowest platform. She passes them to the girl above her, and a continuous and unbroKen line of baskets passes into the vessel from 10 in the morning until -1 in the afternoon. The girls will handle from 60 to 70 Viool.-o+e nf on?al o rmnntp find nVPr fl thousand tons of coal a day. This really arduous toil they perform as if it were mere play, for they keep up a running fire of jokes, and their laughter is continuous. They often break into a song, the notes of which are clear, melodious and stimulating. A Little Washington. One day in spring Geordie found a tiny cherry tree growing in a corner of the grounds. When he i old papa about his "find," papa said he might have that tree for his very own. How proud Geordie was of his tree. He watched it closely that spring, wavered it several times a day, and tried to wait patiently for the cherries to come. Papa laughed some times and said: "You don't give your 'baby' a cnance to grow, Georcfic." Soon the "baby" was covered with tiny blossoms and Geordie knew that that meant cherries by and by. He ran in to tell Momsie: "Bushels and bushels of cherries, Momsie, and every single one of 'em for you!' "Dear me!" said Mornsia "I should get sick eating ali those cherries. Geordie. You'll have to help me.' And Geordie hugged her and promised that he would. But a week later a big storm came, and the ground beneath the little tree was strewn with torn petals. Geordie 'most cried wh<en he saw it. "Only one branchful of flowers left, Momsie." But that one branch danced in the warm breezes, and pretty soon the blossoms fell off of themselves, and Geordie could see the little, hard, green cherries there. "I counted 15 cherries, Momsie, truly I did. It ain't?I mean it isn't? so many as we thought.' he said doleA V. - 1?J. ...? Illliy, UUt SOOIl lie UngllLCllCU ay cifcciui. "Well, you can't get sick eating only 15 cherries, Momsie." Just then Harold Conklin came over to play, bringing his fireman's suit and his red express wagon. "Let's play fire," said Geordie, "and the trees can be the burning houses." "All right," said Haroid. He usually did say that to everything Geordie proposed. So off dashed the express wagon, j drawn by two prancing horses, and i drew up before a burning barn, near the "baby" tree; but to you or me the barn would have looked like an old stump. There the firemen alighted and swarmed up to the top of the blazing building. "We can chop this rotten old stump if we like," said one brave fireman. "Papa's going to cut it down some day." "All right," replied the other. So Geordie and he hacked away until Geordie, with one sharp blow, broke off a great limb, which went crashing -s - > x x r ? r ^i,i uov.n aiuiost ju iup ui nmuiu. Now, I don't know hew it happened, but the falling limb crashed through the "baby"' tree, and the dear little branch that bore the cherries was split off close to the trunk. Poor Geordie. He threw himself on the grass and cried and cried, till Harold, after vainly trying (o con ort him, ran home very much frightened. Still Gecrdie lay there, till at last somebody came and took him in her lap, shaking with sobs, and said: "Don't cry so hard, dearie. Momsie is sorry that Harold broke ycur little tree, but para will give you another, and next year there will be two trees full of cherries." Then GeorJie's sobs ceased and he lifted up b'' head bravely. "But, Momsie, it wasn't Harold that broke my 'baby.' it was me?" he choked, then went on?"I chopped the old stump?it was a barn, you know?and it fell?and broke my tree all to pieces ?so I mustn't have 'nothcr tree 'cause I broke this one." And tn tieordie's surprise. Momsie ! hugged him tighter and kissed him j and called him her "brave little Wash- j ington." So Geordie waited another year for his cherries, but next time the "baby"' tree was loaded down, and Momsie really did have "bushels and bushels" of cherries, all that she could eat.? Brooklyn Eagle. The Chipmunk. As we walk through the winter woods, we shall feel that they are less deserted if we remember that many of the creatures which added so much to the interest of our summer rambles are quite close to us. even though we can neither see nor hear them. In this hollow stump, a family of flying squirrels are sound asleep; beneath that great tree trunk, bright colored snakes are coiled round each other in a bail which would fill a water pail. In the side of the hill, there, a pair of woodchucks are curled up and wrapped in deepest slumber, and among the damp leaves and earth with which they blocked the entrance to their burrow, a great, green frog squats, waiting for th? spring. But a prettier creature than any of : these is the little chirping squirrel, or ' chipmunk, whose burrow )s under that ; old fence, and who, with the rest o? ' his family, is now lying snug and warm ! In a nest of leaves and grass perhaps I 10 feet from the entrance. ( i hs.re heard the chipmunk referred to ns "the painted squirrel," and cer taiuly no other of our little fur bearen is more beautifully marked than he. His back is brownish gray, with seven longitudinal stripes?five of them black and two of them of a yellowish tinge. There is a small black spot above his nose, his forehead is orange, and his underparts are white. Occasionally albinos are seen, and now and then one is found which is jet black. The body is rather slender and graceful in its curves, and the tail only moderately bushy. All the feet are delicately formed, the hii.d ones having five toes and the front ones four roes and the rudiment of a thumb. The most interesting th:ng about the mouth of the chipmunk is the fact that he has two cheek pouches, one on either side, each with an opening between Che incisor and molar teeth. These pouches are his market baskets, and in them he can carry the nuts, seeds and berries on which he feeds. Pie is a very agile litJe fellow, and of a playful disposition. From earlyspring until the fall he may be seen in almost any New England wood, scampering in and out of the walls and stone heaps, ci sitting on a stump near the entrance of his burrow, eating a cherry pit or a hazel nut. As one watches him sitting there so calmly he seems to have his mind on nothing but what h* is eating, yet another step may be enough to send him squeaking to the fa-thest corner of his underground retreat. He is not a tree climtei: that is to say, he doesn't care for climbing; but if he is surprised away from home he will often dash up a tree for several feet and hang there, with his body pressed close to the trunk, until the danger is ever. But he looks most uncomfortable, and is doubtless very glad to get down again. The chipmunk usually makes his burrow under the roots of a tree, in a bank, or beneath an old wall 01 stone heap. There is a main tunnel, often mere or less winding, which contains a nest large enough to accommodate a family of five or six. From this run lateral galleries, which care used as storehouses, and into these the thrifty little fellow carries food all through the autumn and until stopped by the cold weather. Among the provisions thus stored away are hickory nuts, hazel nuts, wheat, buckwheat, acorns and grass seeds. When out gathering these good things he stuffs them into his cheek pouches and then scampers linmp lnr?1rinp- vprv mi.pli lilrp n hnv with toothache on both sides of his face. He generally pauses for a moment at the mouth of the burrow, and then darts down into it to discharge his cargo. In a few minutes he is back j again, with all th^ swelling gone from his face, and away he goes for another load. When carrying hickory nuts he has been observed to bite off the sharp ends before putting them into his pouches.When the cold weather sets in he retires to his snug nest, ami through the winter, when hunger prompts him, he goes into the storehouse for refreshments. The galleries no doubt also afford him an opportunity to stretch his limbs and take a little exercise occasionally. He evident'? makes allowance for very long winters, as there is often a good deal of food ieft over when the warm weather comes again. On sunny afternoons in the latter part of February and the beginning of March, the chipmunk comes out for a breath of fresh air, ana to sun himself on an old stump, perhaps, for an hour or so. As the weather gets warmer he stays out longer, until by and by he is out all day long. The young, four or five in number, are usually born in May. There is probably another litter late in the summer. These little fellows make very beautiful, gentle pets. If kept in confinement, however, they should have picniy or room, anu .-oiisiani care is required to keep them linppy and in good health. They should never be kept at large where there are cats or dogs, for sooner or later they are sure to be killed. A beautiful squirrel i had not long ago skipped away from me as I was feeding it, and it was killed by a cat before I had a chance to move in its defence. The chief enemy of the chipmunk is the white weasel. Hawks and owls, foxes, minks and wildcats all prey upon him whenever they get the chance, but onee in his burrow he can set all these at defiance. The weasel alone, with his long, snaky body, can follow him to the very end of his tunnel, and in a few minutes can kill him and all his family by biting through their skulls. Chipmunk hi nr.' if cannot be held up as a saint, for lie is vory partial to birds' eggs and fonder still of young I iros. Perhaps it is just as well that his climbing poweis are no Letter than th.cy are. It ia that iVr alone which prevents him from being as great a rascal as tli? ud squirrel.?Ernest Howard Bavncs, in Har'ferd Times. With llin Tide. "Few people have any idea of how fast the tide runs or of how far It will carry an object ip a very few hours," said the Captain of one of the Dock Department's steam launches. "Not very long ago a raft of forty or fifty piles broke up and went adrift one night at the foot of East Twentyfourth street. As these piles cost all the way from $S to $220 apiece, they were worth chasing, so just as soon as the loss was discovered in the morning I started out. "The search continued down the East River and along the Brooklyn side through Buttermilk Channel, but without results. Over on the south shore of Governors Island we found eight or ten of the missing sticks. We ran along down by Bay Ridge, and had about decided to abandon our efforts, when we reached Fort Hamilton. But we thought we might as well make a good job of it, and a little way further on, just beyond the Narrows, and around on the north side of Gravesend bay, we found about half of the wayward piles. They had traveled down there, a distance of about ten miles, on one tide, and I thought at the time that it is small wonder that so many drowned bodies are never recovered in these parts."?New York Times. The Shis of the Fathers. "Do you think the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons?" "ivoii r don't know. Sometimes I when I see and read about the sons of some of our great men it strikes me that if they are proof of that doctrine their dads must have been pretty bad men."?Chicago Record-Herald. The Sandpaper Tree. The sandpaper tree grows in the forests of Uganda, and has leaves which for their roughness resemble a cat's tongue. This rasping quality is very useful, as the natives employe the leaves in polishing their clubs and apear handles. BILL ARP'S LETTER Bartow Man Is Proud of Senator MorgaD, of Alabama, DESIGNATES HIM "OLD MAN ELOQUENT" While He Is About It, He Refers tc Great Men that Georgia Has Produced?Other Matters Touched Upon. As I looked upon the likeness cf General Morgan that graced the Nicaragua headlines In The Constitution I could not help saying to myself, "There is a great man. I pray that he may live to see the canal completed and be the honored guest cf the boat that makes the first trip across from ocean to ccean." It looks like Providence reared him up to champion that great work and has preserved him in health and devotion until at last the bill has passed and all obstacles are removed. I know that he is happy and feels serenely triumphant. If I was an Alabamian I would feel proud of Morgan. If I was a Tennesseean, I would feel proud, for he was born there and there spent ten years of his youth. But I am proud of him anyhow, for he is a southern man and all his long pub lie life has been unselfish and true tc his people. His good health and wellpreserved faculties encourage me to live cn and on just as long as I can, for he is jut two years older than I am and is still vigorous and useful. He is the old man eloquent and like Nathaniel Macon, never said an idle or foolish thing. He is as solid as a rock, self-poisod and self-prepared on all great questions. In 1861 he volunteered as a private and soon rose to major and then to lieutenant colonel; next he raised and equipped a regiment and became its colonel. In 1863 he was nominated for brigadier general by Robert E. Lee, but declined it. Later on he was constrained to accept the honor and was with General Johnston to the close. In 1S76 he was elected tc the United States senate and re-elected in 18S2, 1SS8, 1S94 and again in 1900, making his fifth successive term. He well deserves a monument after ho dies and a place in the Hall of Fame. It is a comfort to us all to be assured wn nl-n YiritVi Rim in +VlO UlttL 11U ll^an iaui\o nnu uxui am cmw United States senate, for he is a treasure-house of knowledge, and there is not a cloud over his candor, his truth or his integrity. When he speaks he has something to say and knows how to say it and when to quit. Tom Benton said of Nathaniel Macon: "He rarely spoke but a few sentences, but uttered more good sense in getting up out of his chair and sitting down again than was contained in the long and elaborate speeches of most senators." General Morgan's long career reminds me of Macon, for he, too, was a private in the revolutionary war. He held public office for fifty-seven years and John Randolph said of him: "He is the wisest, the purest and the best man I ever knew." Twice he declined a place in the cabinets of two presi dents, but after he had retired and was 72 years old he accepted the office oi justice of the peace in his home district. He never recommended any of his kindred for appointment to office. He refused pay for his service as a soldier and refused to receive a pension afterwards?and voted against all pensions or rewards or gratuities. He died as caimly as Socrates, Dut witnout the poison, and his grave is on a high barren ridge marked with no marble, only a pile of stones, which was according to his will. Nathaniel Macon was my father's ideal of a great and good man. He placed him above all other statesmen, for he declared that he was as wise as Solomon and purer than David. When I was in Warren county some years ago I was told that Macon's father lived there in an oldfashioned double log house. For some years It had mud and stick chimneys above the fire-jams and was covered with boards of his own make. In course of time he tore away the chimneys and rebuilt them of stone and I brick, and tore away the boards and covered with shingles. Later on as he got able he weather-boarded the outside with plank and ceiled the Inside' by beginning at the top of the wall and letting the plank lap up instead of down, so that his wife could pour hot water in the cracks and kill the bedbugs. I reckon that Tom Benton, who wrote nis oiograpny, got ms ami-pcusion principles from Macon, for Benton in a great speech in the senate, opposed a pension to General Harrison's widow and called it "a new departure that would lead to the bottomless gulf of pensions and gratuities." Well, it is a bottomless gulf both to the state and the nation. In this connection I ruminated on who were our greatest men in Georgia?who most deserves a niche in the temple of fame. By common consent, Oglethorpe seems entitled to the first place, but a dozen or more have advocates for the second place. I reckon, however, that Crawford Long will get it?not as a statesman or soldier or inventor or philanthropist, but rather as a thoughtful discoverer like Jenner who discovered the healing art of vac cinatioh. The quesstion is a very perplexing one, for some are great in one phase of character and some in another My wife thinks that Bishop Pearce was the greatest man, because he had the greatest calling and filled it as no other man has done, and she quotes that verse from Daniel which says, "They who have called many to righteousness shall shine as the start forever and forever." My wife grev up under his matchless preaching, and is a pretty good Methodist yet This reminds me of a delightful sketch l find in the proceedings of the last Georgia Bar Association held at Warm Springs in July. The subject is "The Georgia Lawyer" viewed by a woman. The woman is Mrs. J. Render Terrell, of Greenville. The papers generally read at these annual meetings are dry and prosy to everybody save the lawyers, but this paper is charming, em tertaining and instructive from beginning to end. The first sentence attracted me, and I kept on to the last, and my feeling at it close was?well, that woman is a trump, she is a historian, a philosopher and a first-rate lawyer, even though she be a woman. I read it aloud to my female family She closes with a poetic apostrophe tc the Georgia lawyer which many an un fortuncte defendant will appreciate: ? 'The parson points the way to heaven, And then with tender care The doctor consummates the work And sends the patient there. I "But the Georgia lawyer would delay Departure with such cries: Hold! Can thLs man read his title clear To mansions in the skies?' "In doubt he files a brief and seeks .To hold the ignoramus And stops his flight to heavenly bliss By injunction or mandamus." c And so, while looking around for the greatest man, we might well pause and hear what Mrs. Terrell says about John Forsyth. She says: "Forsyth was a champion for the establishment of our stinremo court and parnastlv ad. vised it in his message in 1828." He said: "It is an awful reflection that life, liberty and reputation are dependent upon the decision of a single judge uncontrolled and uncontrollable in his : circuit." Then she continues, "For- j syth's matchless oratory and the pur- j ity of his private and political life won j for him a name that will be honored j and revered always. While In the ! United States senate he had no sun* rior as an orator, and was called the equal of Lord Erskint..' If I had a pa- | per of my own I would publish every j line of Mrs. Terrell's delightful paper. And the next Sunday I would publish the paper read by J. H. Merrill, oi Thomasvllle on "The Bible in the Lawyer's Library." Why, -this paper ought ! to be read and studied, not only by the lawyers, but by every preacher in the land. It is fit for a text-book in the colleges, and it is so interspersed with gems of good wit and humor that one does not get Ured. And there is an ailmirable paper on the same line by H. Warner Hill, called "Historic Landmarks of the Law," and "he, too, has diligently perused not only the Bible, but the Apocrypha. His story as to how Daniel made his reputation as a lawyer will be new to most readers. I wish I had space to make mention of all the good things in this little volume. For, as there were giants in the days that are gone, even sso we have great men and great woman among us now. Here we have learned sketches by such men as J. C. C. Black, Reuben Arnold, Roland Ellis, C. A. Turner, W. L. Scruggs, L. Q. C. Lamar, Sylvanus Morris, Wimbish, Persons, Charlton, Bryan, and last, but not least, a good lot of side-bar talk by the venerable Justice Bleckley, who closed the exercises by proposing to endow the as60 elation with $100,000, and was ready to give his note for that amount. If I live and can travel, I will attend the next meeting, and hope that Mrs. Ter rell will be there and read another paper?sometimes the dessert is the better part of the feast.?Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution. Removing the Cause. The colored prisoner was Tiustled j before the bar of justice. "What is the charge?" demanded the judge. "Inciting riot, your honor," said the officer. "What did he do?" "It was this way, your honor: Colonel Julepson's silver-mounted corkscrew mysteriously disappeared from its accustomed place on his sideboard. This nigger had been seen hanging around the place, and suspicion naturally fell upon him. A crowd of indignant citizens got a rope and started to hunt for him, and before they found tne nigger uoionei juiepson aiscovereu that the corkscrew was in his hip pocket." "One hundred days at hard labor. This tendency to mob violence must ; be checked. Call the next case."?Salt Lake Herald. "Sheep Walk." "There's a whole lot of truth in what the British horse agent told you about the feud between the cattle and sheep men in Wyoming," said an old ranch er. "But he must have omitted one of j the oddest phases of life out in the i Equality State.' Ever hear of the j ''sheep walk?' You know all about j 'cakewalk,' 'buzzard lope,' 'fox trot,' ! 'crane dance,' etc. Well, out in Wyo- j ming the continual bleating of the J sheep drives a man crazy in a very | few years. Their mournful, helpless, j hopeless 'bah-bah-bah' morning, nooa j and night is something awful. It racks i the stoutest nerves. Whenever a man I is seen walking straight along with his ; eyes glued to some particular spot on the ground, paying no attention to his surroundings, people jerk their thumbs in his direction and remark, 'He's a sheep breeder; poor chap.' He has flie 'sheep walk.' He's crazy."?New York Press. The Honesty of Childhood. I heard an interesting anecucfe of Jacob Grimm the other day. One of i his prettiest fairy tales ends with the j words 'whosoever refuse to believe this j story owes me a thaler'." One winter morning a little Jewish ; girl rang the doorbell in Eerlin and j asked the servant if Herr Prof. Jacob j Grimm was at home. When informed | that he was not, she said, politely: "Will you please hand him this tha- j ler when he returns?" The servant took the coin, glanced j I at it curiously, and inquired who sent j it and what it was for. "I owe him the money myself/' said the little girl. "Why, what for?" -1 "Because I don't believe the story ; about the wolf."?Chicago Record-Her- j aid. Curiosity Rebuked. The latest good story they are tell- j ing in commercial circles is about Marshall Meadow, the great merchant. A man who was trying to earn $5 or | $6 by writing him up for some publi- : cation or other asked him this ques- j tion: "Mr. Meadow, how much do you j think you are worth?" "Well, replied the great merchant, meditating a moment, "to ascertain i what I am worth, you first take the I vAnrocantino' half Clf TTl V I llgUl Cd vuv v | wealth. Then multiply those figures by two." The intelligent reader, of course, does not need to be told that it is just as difficult to ascertain the half of Mr. Meadow's wealth as the whole of it.? Chicago Tribune. He Conforms. The pugilist, though defeated, was not utterly disheartened. He opened a saloon. ; "This," he said, somewhat bitterly, | "is the 'beaten' track."?Chicago Tri- j bune. j i F Tmly the Great I I Fame of Lydia E.
