Phoebus Not Appropriate.
??My dear, I have been reading
up within the past week, and I
think I have a name for the ba
by," said Mrs. Greening, as her
liege emerged from Ms bath this
morning. x
??You have, eh? What is it?"
"I have read Phoebus, the god
of day, comes up bright and
beautiful in the morning; that
he lightsOthe world; that with
out him ? "
"Now, look here, madam, lot's
have no foolishness here. You
can't call that child by any^uoh
name. Did Phoebus of history
' \yell from 11 p. m. to 3. a. m., and
intermittently from 3 to 7 a. m?
I myself am doing the god-6f-day
business in the matter of getting
up, and I'm not dividing the
honors. If you want a mytholo
logical cognomen for that de
stroyer of rest I have it. "
?'What is it?" asked Mrs.
Greening, with considerable as
perity.
"Aurora !" brutally yelled the
gentle Elisha. Then he left the
house. ? Pittsburg Times. '

JAPAN.
Jtpso, a gioop of tdands nt
nsted on the eastern coast of
Asia, consist of Hondo, Nephon,
Kiushu, Shikoku and Yeso.
The capital i Tuloyo, is on the
Largest Island, Hondo. The
tahabitanta are Japanese. Be
cause they are so small, they
are tall the ? 'little Jape." They
are an industrious and prosper
ous nation.
The exports of Japan are tea,
silk, mats, mattings, etc. Jap
anese silks are the finest made.
The diacription of a Japanese
is much like a Chinese. The
women plait their hayr in a cue
like the Chinese, but the men
cut theirs.
They dress so much alike, it
is hard to distinguish them.
Although their slanting eyes
have a sleepy look, they are ev
er ready to defend their rights.
Japan is now at war with Rus
sia; it is called the Russo-Japan
ese War. It is about Manchu
ria and Corea. The United
States will see that Manchuria
is preserved to China. So far
'Japan carries the victories.

JAPAN
' Japan lies on the coast of Asia,
and consists of the islands of
Hondo, Niphon, Kuishv, Shiko
Roe and Yezo, and many other
smaller islands. The capital is
Tokyo, and it is called the Paris
of Japan. y
The climate of Japan is mild
?ard moisted, and is tempered by
the Japan current.
The principal products are
rice, silk and tea.
Japan has good harbors, but
not until 1846 were they opened
to the world- Before that they
would not let any other nation
come in, but now she is civilized
and is glad for any one to come
in and to trade with her.
The religion of the Japanese
is Buddhism, but now, since the
harbors are opened, a great
many Miasionarya have been over
there, and a great many have
become Christianized.
Japan is hoted all over the
world for way the the^ fight, and
it is thought that she will win in
the war, although Russia is
such a large empire.
