Writing Verse Is a Part of the Polite Life of the Nation. ‘‘There are no long poems in Jap anese." says a writer. “A long poem is unthinkable to the people of Ja pan. Thev have what sometimes pass for long excursions in verse, but these are really nothing more than short poem- strung together, lacking all unity ,uve that of sub ject. The favorite forms are tho hokku, consisting of three lines, the first having five, the second having seven and the third having five syl lables, seventeen in all; the tanka, consisting of live lines of five, sev en. five, seven and seven syllables, thirty-one in all, and the dodoitsu, consisting of four lines of sev en, seven, seven and five sylla bles, or twenty-six in all. The tanka is the classical form, af fected by the standard poets of the country, while the other forms are used by every Japanese who writes at all and by many who cannot. The hokku is the greatest favorite. “The hokku is composed im promptu upon every occasion, the writer putting into verse the thought appropriate to the moment, the incident or the associations sug gested, much as the Greeks wrote their epigrams before the epigram became a little satiric sting. Hok- kus are inspired by grave moments as well as by the gay ones. An old statesman on his deathbed sees a dead leaf whirled past his window, and it suggests his own faring forth on the wings of eternity, and he writes, ‘A leaf whirls down—a leaf whirls down in the wind.’ Nothing more, but the simple repetition pours out volumes with beauty and power. “These little poems are so much a part of Japanese life that every cultivated person writes them, and all who go to ‘view* the flowers, the blossoming of the cherry trees or the reddening maples in TTyeno or other parks, write some pretty con ceit in a hokku and hang it upon the chrysanthemum or lotus stalks or on the trees. The hokku may, therefore, be justly called the song of Japan, as we say a certain ecstasy in a few notes is the song of the thrush.” An Animal Born Only to Die. The instances of natural death in the animal world are conspicuous in comparison with those in the vege table world for their greater vari ety and complexity. There seems no doubt that this manner of death established itself independently in the different groups of animals. Years ago an American naturalist, Dana, discovered on the surface of the sea a little animal of so sin gular a character that he named it “monstrilla.” It is a small crusta cean akin to the cyclops so common in ponds. But, while the latter are furnished with all that is necessary to capture and digest their food, the monstrilla lias neither apparatus for seizing prey nor digestive tube. It is richly provided with muscles, nervous system, organs of sense and sexual organs. It only lacks what is necessary to prolong life by ali mentation. The monstrilla is doom ed therefore to natural death.—Pro fessor F.lie Metchnikoff in Harper's. Or* Deposit Signale. German observers recorded as long ago as 1747 that a luminous emana tion of variable shape will appear In tbe dark points on the surface of the earth below which there are extensive ore deposits. Immediately before or during a thunderstorm these phenom ena are said to be especially striking. Similar observations have more re cently been made In North America in tbe neighborhood of ore deposits. Tbe electric emanation given off from tbe surface of tbe earth baa been repeat edly ascertained photographically. —All varieties of Flower Seed—la naners. in bulk. Seed Store. CONSULT ON. Fhe P roper Way of Treating Tins In- Odious Disease. Oiic of iho eurlicsl >igns cf con sumption i.~ u lo-- of -trengl h and flesh, and this shouM always arouse suspicion in tin* case of a young man or woman when there is no other evident cause for it. In addition to the gradual emaciation, there will usually be found a rapid pulse, shortness of breath, anaemia, as shown by pale lips and extreme whiteness of the eyes, a poor appe tite and indigestion. There may be feverishness in the afternoon, to gether with a hacking cough and sometimes a little spitting of blood, but this is more commonly a sign which appears in the later stages. The two mainstays of the person threatened with or actually suffer ing from consumption are fresh air and a generous diet. In no disease should the injunction to “throw physic to the dogs” be so faithfully obeyed. If possible, the consumptive should sleep actually in the open air, on a balcony sheltered from the north and east winds, but if this cannot be done the windows of the bedroom should be kept wide open at night, and the bed should be so placed that it is bathed in the air entering from without. The pa tients often fear this will give them colds or increase the cough, but it does just the opposite. Of course the sleeper should be well protect ed, with a hood in very cold weath er and a warm sleeping robe so as not to become chilled if the bed clothes are accidentally displaced. The daytime should be passed in the open air. The patient, if weak ness or a fever keeps him from walking, should sit all day on a porch or by an open window on the sunny side of the house and should practice full, deep breathing for a few minutes at a time freeuently. The diet should be as nutritious as it is possible to make it. Eggs and milk should be the standbys, with a good allowance of meat and also of fat if fat can be digested. Care must be taken not to upset the stomach, for much depends upon good digestion, but a patient living in the open air day and night will be astonished at the quantity of food he can eat and assimilate. Fever at any part of the day is a sign to avoid fatiguing exercise. The bowels must be kept in proper condition.—Youth’s Companion. Holyrood’s Chapel Royal. Those who lament the results of much of the so called restoration in our ancient buildings will not be sorry to know that Holyrood’s Chap el Royal is to be left untouched, for w-ith that crumbling pile are bound up many historical memories. In that chapel the beginnings of Anglo- Seottish union were made when at the altar there James I\L was unit ed to Margaret Tudor, the “mar riage of the thistle and the rose.” There Queen Mary was twice mat ed—to Darnley first and afterward to Both well. Holyrood palace, as we know it now, was mostly the handiwork of Charles II.’s crafts men. James II. turned the Chapel Royal into a Romish building. In deed, he wished to restore Holyrood entirely to its original monastic purposes. But he reckoned without the dour Scots’ temperament, and the vestments and ornaments were ruthlessly torn from the chapel and burned by an Edinburgh mob.— London Chronicle. —Best thlim on var.h for cold and or rin.

Oaffnev Drue Co Subscribt for To* Ledoer; tl » year “Cluck of the Dead Kings.” The most peculiar clock in the world is that in a tower in the courtyard of the palace of Ver sailles. It lias but a single hand and is known as “L’Horloge de la Mort du Roi” to the French people and to all other Europeans by words which signify “clock of the dead kings/’ It has no works, but con sists merely of a face and a single hand, the face being in imitation of the sun. Upon tho death of a king in any portion of Europe tbe hand is set at the moment of his demise and remains in that position until another king passes away. This curious custom is said to have orig inated in the time of Louis XIII. The clock of the dead kings is about the only relic of royalty in Ver sailles that escaped the furious mobs of the time of the French rev olution. Some of the Firet. A group of bachelors who carry on co-operative housekeeping on the upper west side deputed the most caustic of their number to re monstrate with their grocer about the quality of his eggs. The grocei assumed the role of injured inno cence. “It’s impossible that those eggs should be bad,” said he. “We’ve been getting them from the same farm for eighteen years.” “That’s just the trouble,” replied the spokesman; “this morning you sent me some of the first you got.” —New York Post. Tha Letter of the Law. The lion. John Steel was a sher iff in Missouri. A new county judge was elected, nnd Steel, thinking te pay the judge a delicate compli ment, selected for Ids first panel of I jurors every fat man in the county. 1 The jifdge weighed nearly pounds. The day was hot, ani Steel, when he look the jurors out to dinner, fed th‘*m so heartily that they all went to sleep during the* afternoon. 'Hie judge was furiow. “What do you mean,” he roared at. the sheriff, “by bringing those j sleepyheads into court as a jury? , They haven't heard any of this aft- ! ernoon’s evi/encc. I discharge the 1 panel. (Jo out now and get a panel ! of men who will stay awake. I 1 want n;e:i with a single eye to jus tice, not dolts like these!” Steel went out and rode tbe coun ty that night. When the judge ap peared next morning Steel had a panel of one eyed men for him.— Saturday Evening Post. To make Ice Cr« In 10i He Liked the Sermon. The Rev. T. B. Oreijory of New York was for a short time In the mid dle of the eighties pastor of the Uni- versalist church in Belfast, Me. At that early period In his career he was already an original thinker, a forceful speaker cn.l by his unconventional at titude a rather unique character. While his singular qualities as a cler gyman did not appeal strongly to cer tain of the older parishioners, they gained for him a notable popularity with that mass of the people w l>o or Uinarily took liitle interest In chun-Ii service. Lucie John Wesley Maxwell, a kindly old man from a neighboring village, who failed to inherit that love for matters theologle&l wbleh his name would Indicate that he was born to. upon one occasion went to hear the Rev. Mr. Gregory preach. Speaking about it to a friend the following day, the honest old man said with great earnestness: “By jolly, I am glad I went to hear him! He’s a smart feller. That’s jest the kind of a sermon I like—there wasn’t so darned much religion in It.” —Rochester Herald. ■tee lor 1 cent a plate.

The progressive storekeeper nowa days attracts attention by the novelty of tbe signs and other advertising mat ter be puts outside his place of busi ness. One of the moat unusual exhibits of this character Is shown by a Market street firm which has its sign “sup ported,” as tbe beraldista would say. by a clock at either side. Both clocks are actuated by electricity, and the dial on tbe right hand of tbe sign la a very commonplace looking timepiece. But the other one has a dial so con structed that the bands move In the opposite direction. The clock keeps ac curate time, although there Is some thing startling in seeing the figures I, II, III, etc., on the left hand side of the dial, where tbe XI, X.
