JAPANESE POETRY.
Writing Versa It a Fart of tha Polita
Life of the Nation. I
"There are no long poems in Japanese,"
says a writer. "A long poem
is unthinkable to the people of Ja- ?
pan. They have what sometimes <
pass for long excursions in verse, 1
j but these are really nothing more f
] than short poems strung together, 1
| lacking all xmity* save that of sub- 1
ject. The favorite forms arc the 1
! hokku, consisting of three lines, the
l first having five, the second having {
' seven and the third having five svl- ]
lablcs, seventeen in all; tiie tanka. '
i consisting of five lines of five, sev- l
' en. five, seven and seven syllables, 1
' thirty-one in all, and the dodoitsu,
consisting of four lin >s of sev- 1
en, seven, seven and five sylla- (
> blcs, or twenty-six in all. The 1
! tanka is the classical form, af-!1
| - I
: footed bv tho standard poets of the
, country, while the other forms are !
; used by every Japanese who writes
; at all and by many who cannot,
j The hokku is the greatest favorite. '
I "The hokku is composed t im;
promptu uj>on every occasion, the
j 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 1
became a little satiric sting. Hok- !
kus are inspired by grave moments
as well ts by the gay ones. An old 1
statesman on his deathbed sees a ^
dead leaf whirled past his window, 1
! and it suggests his own faring forth
| on the wings of eternity, and he 1
writes, 'A leaf whirls down?a leaf 1
whirls down in the wind.' Nothing 1
more, but the simple repetitir i
pours out volumes with beauty r 1
power. 1
"These little poems are so n-jc! ^
a part of Japanese life that eve'
cultivated person writes them, and 1
all who go to 'view' the flowers, the '
blossoming of the cherry trees or
the reddening maples in Uyeno or '
other parks, write some pretty con- 1
ceit in a hokku and hang it upon 1
the chrysanthemum or lotus stalks
or on he trees. The hokku may, *
therefore, be justly called the song :
oi tsupuu, as we shy a uciium ctovaoj
in a few notes is the song of the
thrush/'

An Animal Born Only to Die.
The instances of natural death in
the anitnal world are conspicuous in '
comparison with those in the vege- ]
table world for their greater vari- '
ety and complexity. There 6eems
no doubt that tj^jmanner of death ]
established itsel?ndependently in 1
the different ^^ups of animals.
Years ago an American naturalist,
Dana, discovered on the surface of
the sea a little animal of so singular
a character that he named it
"monstrilla." It i6 a small crustacean
akin to the cvclops so common
in ponds. But, while the latter are
furnished with all that is necessary ,
to capture and digest their food, the
monstrilla has 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 monst^a is doomed
therefore to naturaflWth.?Professor
Elie Metchnikoff in Harper's.
The l.rtter of tho Law.
The Hon. John Steel was a sheriff
in Missouri. A new county judge
was elected, and Steel, thinking to
pay the judge a delicate compliment,
selected for his first panel of
jurors every fat man in the county.
The judge weighed nearly 300
pounds. The day was hot, and
Steel, when he took the jurors out
to dinner, fed them so heartily that
they all went to sleep during the
afternoon. The judge was furious.
"What do you mean," he roared
at the sheriff, "by bringing those
sleepyheads into court as a jury?
They haven't heard any of this afternoon's
evidence. I discharge tfce
panel. Go out now and get a panel
of men who will stay awake. I
want men with a single eye to justice,
not dolts like these!"
Steel went out and rode the county
that night. When the judge appeared
next morning Steel had a

Why He Planted.
The poor man who seeks to help,
even in the smallest way, but with (
a right spirit, his fellowmen is of
infinitely greater worth to the race
than the man of millions whose
chief aim and end are his own pleas- ]
are. A poor and aged man was
seen planting an *pple tree and was
somewhat rudely accosted by a
stranger who said, "Why do you
plant trees when you cannot possi1

of them?" The poor man raised
' himself and, leaning on his shovel, .
said: "Some one planted trees be'
fore I was born, and I have eaten ?
' the fruit. I now .plant for others
^ that the memorial of my gratitude ;
may exist when I am dead and
? gone."

REFUSED TO STRIKE.
*n Incident of the Shorter Hour Move*
ment In Russia.
During a period when the waiters
md chambermaids were forcibly
- ? a _ t il. tit l_ .x_l_ j
jui oi me \> arsaw noieis auu reslaurants
on strike many of the
servants in private houses flatly refused
to leave their wcrk, and those
vho did go into the streets soon relumed.
A servant in the employ of one
jld nobleman, who does not exact
much work from his household, re?eived
the men who had come to
persuade him to join them, reclining
on a sofa.
'"What do you gentlemen want?"
ie asked languidly when the four
lelegates were ushered into his
presence by the seared kitchen
maid.
"You must come into the
streets."
"But what for?"
"To join the general strike for a
an:form eight hour day."
The servant sprang from his sofa.
"IIow dare you even suggest 6uch
i thing?" he demanded indignantly.
"I never heard of anything like it
in my life! Eight hours, indeed!
Why, you won't find a self respecting
footman in the town to support
such a movement!"
"How many hours do you work ?"
isked the astonished delegates, who
looked upon all domestic servants
is white slaves.
"Two or three at the most I
spend much of my time on this sofa
reading the newspapers, which are
very interesting just now. I can
| ust see myself walking about the
muddy streets to get eight hours'
tvork a day! I'm not fool enough
for that, gentlemen!"
"Then give us some money for
the committee," the deputation
urged.
"Never! I should be acving
against all my principles if I give
as much as 1 cent toward supporting
an organization which is in faror
of domestic servants working
sight hours a day!"?Pall Mall Gazette.
A Hopeleaa Caae.
Carlyle was terribly bored by the
persistent optimism of his friend
Emerson. "I thought," he said,
"that I would try to cute him, so I
took him to some of the lowest
parts of London and showed him all
that was going on nhere. This don^,
I turned to him, saying, 'And noo,
man, d'ye believe in the deevil noo P
'Oh, no!'he replied. 'AH these people
seem to me only parts of the
great machine, and on the whole I
think tbey are doing their work
very satisfactorily.' Then," contin
? 1 1 * J
ued the sage, "i iook nun aoun uu
the hoese o' commons, where they
put us under the gallery. There I
showed him 'ae chiel getting up after
anither and leeing and leeing.'
Then 1 turned to him and said,
'And no-, man, d'ye believe in the
deevil noo?' He made me, however,
just the same answer as before,
and I then gave him up in despair."
As Good as 8h? 8?nt
Years ago the once famous Mr.
and Mrs. Barney Williams were
playing an engagement at the Boston
museum. The couple were al
ways great favorites in Boston, but
Mrs. Williams was somewhat noted
for her sharp tongue both on and ofl
the stage.
On thet night in question she had
been disturbed by the crying of a
baby in the gallery. Stepping to
the footlights, she stopped in the
middle of her lines and, looking toward
the offending child, cried,
"Wanted, a nurse!"
To this came in a rich brogue
from the child's mother, so that all
the house heard, "No Irish need
apply."?Boston Herald.
