Todey amid the sobbing of tho ratn,
W ule pale December with gaunt finger tips
Provers the sup of doe~ to nature's lips An c. frowning, niocks her bitter moan of pein, Icannot mark the strife 'twixt life and dee*h
For joy of one fair thought that dwells with
me—
A summer hillside, rising by the sea,
Made glad with bloom and song bird’s voicefal
yreath. Feir as a dream that fills a stormy night With peace and love in these my waking hours, Wit “1 1um of brown bees, deep in chaliced lowers, With blue waves dancing in the golden light,
And one swift flight of swallows drifting by, Blown like a cloud across the shining sky. —Mary E. Blake in Woman's Journal.
CUSTOMS OF THE MIKADO.
Fis Mojesty’s Methods of Dealing With Ministers and People.
The mikado’s daily customs are very recular. He always goes to his study at 9 a. i>. and remains at work there until 4 p m=. He reads and signs all parliamen- tary laws and decrees.
When a cabinet minister addresses his mujesty about any public matter, be in- quires about the subject, the purpose and condition, and decides it. He is firm and not changeable. When he decides a mat- ter once, he cannot after that be moved. the beginning of Matsukata’s cab- parliament decided to reduce the gal- 2 of the cabinet ministers and other government officers. The prime minister, ( it Mateukata, addressed his majesty about it. His majesty did not consent,
he said: ‘‘Many officers cannot live t a fixed salary. Some cabinet minis- ters have been obliged to borrow money, and I have advanced money from my treasury to suppert them. If the present cabinet ministers retain their positions by borrowing money, all cabinet ministers thercfore can do so. Therefore I cannot consent to the reduction of salaries.”’
Count Matsukata retired from his ma c lowever, the cabinet once more lebated the question with the count, and Viatsukata went again to consult the em-
bate
His majesty was not inclined to see him again, and sent an attendant to say to him: ‘I *have alreacy commanded about the reduction of salaries. I cannot see you any more.?’
‘The salaries were therefore not reduced.
His majesty understands the condition of the lower classes, and familiarizes him- self with the private conduct of the cab- inet ministers. When he reads newspaper articles relating to the private misconduct ef any cabinet minieters and attacking him, his majesty sometimes smiles.
His majesty is fond of reading bocks and newsparers. He is especially fond of German booka He Hkes to compose Jap- anese poems, which he can do very read- ily. His ability in that respect {s much admired by his attendants.
His majesty dislikes all pretense and brpocrisy. '
‘hen it has been reported to his majesty that some of his subjects have given their lives in time of flood or earthquake to preserve his majesty’s picture, he has been much touched, but he $s anxious to dis- courage bis subjests from such Quixotism, and to preserve them from any but neces- sury danger.
Withal, the emperor’s life is a very happy and peadeful = blessed by the lovo and respect of grateful subjects, and when his majesty makes a tour anywhere in Japan without bis guards he is in no dancer, but ig received everywhere vith reverence and joy.—Jepanese American Waice.

The Preachers Story.
The round faced, gray haired, chubby bodied preacher fro6m Pennsylvania to.d about a minister who was preaching the funeral sermon of the husband of a spiritualistic medium. The woman wasn't at all pleased with the discourse, and at its end she arose and said thit she had just had a conversation with the sprit of her departed husband and that he declared that he utterly repu- diated every word of the sermon.
The astonished divine recovered him- self to say, ‘‘ Well, that’s the first time I’ve ever been sassed back by a corpse.”’ —Buffalo Express.

. os, ee ‘The Mense of Touch,
Tho question has been asked, ‘‘Which of our senses ia most capable cf improve- ment?’ An English scientist says prob- ably the sense of touch. '
Strictly speaking the senses are capable rather of alteration and specialization than of improverrent. For instance, those who have much to doin the open air become immensely long sighted, but this is ab- normal, and the increased superiority in one direction is lost by inferiority in an- other.
But there are many trades which afford abundant evidence that the sense of touch, at any ratein certain directions, can be largely developed. For instance, the con- noisseur of china relies much more on an almost imperceptible difference of feeling in the texture than on his eyes to discover the genuineness of any piece.
The blind beggar can very soon discern between different metals merely by the sense of touch, and, in fact, the education of the blind affords oa remarkable instance of the develepment of this sense. In cer- tain manufactures the skilled workman knows entirely by this sense when a mix- ture has reached the proper degree of solid- ity or a material is of the right texture, and he receives yery high wages by virtue of this sense alone.
On the other hand, the sense of smell and the sense of taste are each of them blunted and lose their finer perception if the same object is frequently presented to them. In every case, however, it is not the general sense of touch that is im- proved, but a special excellence of the sense.—Neow York Ledger.
Some Truth In That,
‘Look at this, will you?” exclaimed the real estate and houge renting optimist. ‘‘In this paper there is a record of 87 marriage licenses issued yesterday.’’
‘*Well, what of it?’’ said his partner, the pessimist of the firm, who was leaning back in a chair with his hat pulled down over his eyes.
‘‘What of it?’’ echoed the other. ‘‘Can’t you see? Those 87 marriage licenses mean 87 warriages. The 87 marriages will lead to 87 inquiries for houses, flats, or at least eligible apartments. It’s bound to stimu- late business tn our line, and we’ll get our share.’’
‘*That doesn’t follow at all. Those 87 licenses represent 174 persons, don’t they?’’
“sea,” “Probably all adults?’’ ‘Undoubtedly. What of it?’’
“‘Nothing,’’ growled the pessimist, ‘‘ex- cept that 174 persons who have hitherto occupied 174 apartments will hereafter oc- cupy 87. You give mea pain. Go away.’’ —Pearson’s Weekly.
Asbestus Pliates,
An asbestus plate is most useful as a part of the kitchen plenishing. Often- times it is not conyenient to remove a stove lid, and thus deaden the fire, in order to make toast, but the slices may be browned and Jaid on the asbestus plate on top of the range, although they will re- quire as constant attention to prevent burning as if held over the coals on a toasting fork.
