R I R | 3 If I were asked to say, of all that I saw

in Japan, what that is that lives most vividly in my memory, I should probably shock my artistic reader by saying that it was the loading of a steamer at Nag- asaki with coal. The hugh “$361. U10 ‘Empress of J apan,’ was one m01‘DiDR- soon after its arrival at Nagasaki, sudden- ly festooned I can use no other word- from stem to stern on each side with a series of hanging platforms, the broadest nearest the base and diminishing as they rose, strung together by ropes, and ascending from the sampans, or huge boats lin which the coal had been brought alongside the steamer, until the highest and narrowest platform was just below the particular port-hole through which it was received into the ship. There were, in each case, all along the sides of the ship, some four or live of these platforms, one above another, on each of which stood

were busy filling a long line of baskets holding, I should think, each about two buckets of coal, and these were passed up from the sampans in a continuous and unbroken line until they reached their destinaion, each young girl, as she stood on her par- ticular platform, passing or rather al- most throwing, these huge basketfuls of coal to the girl above her, and she again to her mate above her, and so on to the end. The rapidity, skill, and, above all, the rhythmic precision with which, for hours, this realy tremendous task was performed was an achievement which might well fill an American athlete with envy and dismay. As I moved to and fro onthe deck above them, watching this unique scene, I took out my watch to time these girls, and again and again I counted sixty~nine baskets-they never fell below sixty-passed on board in this

a moment. The task-I ought rather to call it an art, so neatly, simply and grace- fully was it ‘done-was this; the young girl stooped to her companion below her, seized from her uplifted hands a huge basket of coal, and t-hen, shooting her lithe arms upward, tossed it laughingly to the girl above her in the ever-ascend ing chain. And all the while there was heard, as one passed along from one to another of these chains of living eleva- tors, a clear, rhyth mical sound. which I supposed at drst to have produced by some bystander striking the metal string of something like a mandolin but which I discovered after a little was a series of no- tes produced by the lips of these young coal-beavers themselves distinct precise, melodious and stimulating. And at this task three girls continued unlnterrupediy _ and blithely from ten o‘clock in the morn- ing until four o‘clock in the afternoon putting on board in that time I was told morethan one thousand tons of coal, I am quite free to say that, I do not believe that there is another body of work- folk in the world who could have perform-_ ed the same task in the same time and with the same ease.-Bishop Potter in the Century.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The Fr-ench‘

agriculturlsts intend to fight frost and grasshoppers an well as hailstorms, with cannon and smoke, according to an in- teresting report received at the state department from Consul Covert at Lyons in Novet_nbernext. Consul Covert is auth- orized to extend an invitation to all Americans to take part. The success that has attended, the experiment of firing at approaching hailstorms to prevent their ravages upon French vineyards has prompted steps for a. still greater exten- , tion of usuage of cannon in agricnlt-ll uralsocieties.

PROQF' OF CURE.

_ Miss Emma Chaput, Lake Talon, Ont., writes :--f‘ I cannot thank you enough for

the good I have derived through- the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. l honestly believe that but for them I would now be in my grave. My health was completely broken down. My face was as white as chalk, and if I made the least eilort to do any housework I would

_ almost faint from the exertion, and my heart would beat violently-so that I l'éared`I would

drop where I stood. I was a_ great sufferer from headaches, and dizziness as well, and my appetite was so poor that I scarcely ate_at all. _I tried several medicines, but they did not help me, and thenl decided to sen’d for some of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. _Igot I six boxes, and before I used them all I was as well as I had ever been, with a good healthy color, a good appetite and an entire freedom from the ailments that had made me so mis-

- erable. You may be sure I will always have a warm regard for your invaluable medicine.” '

The British and Japanese battleships
