Ia the early firt of. the iBi^tteeiith <^i- tnfHthlre lived in ffiiefBrriaer stiaaBe,' Ber- lin^ a merchant, Lamport 1 by name, mar- ried t o a wife somewhat yoVnger than him- self—a handsome woman; fond of dress and amusement. 'And by her h e h a d a daugh- ter, whom the vain mother did her best to spoil Every year Lampert went t o t h e Leipsie fair on business, a n d i n the year 1730 he resolved, as usual, to attend the fair. On the evening before he was about to start he called his: <wife into their common, bedchamber, and asked h e r t o -assist him in counting his money, which he kept in a strong iron double Ibcked coffer beneath his bed. He always carried his keys about with him, never laying them aside. His wife at his summons came with a candle into the room, and he unlocked the chest in her pres- ence, and branght out his money t o t h e table, where he purposed counting it and taking from i t t h e s u m necessary for his traveling expenses and for the purchases he intended making at the Leipsie fair. The box contained a large purse of leather, wrapped round with cord and sealed with his own signet. The coin, it contained con- sisted of French pistoles wiflithe exeeptian of six Dutch ducats. Lampert found the lock untampered with and the leather purse as he had left it, bound with the string and with his Seal un- broken—in a word, all was i n t h e condi- tion in which he had left it, except the con- tents of the purse. As he counted the money in the presence of his wife, twelve pistoles and one of the six ducats were missing. This discovery filled him and his wife with dismay. They counted the money again, they searched every corner o f t h e b o x , turned the bag inside out, but could not discover the smallesst trace of the missing coins. Lampert had written a ticket of the amount, when he had inclosed i t i n t h e bag, before he sealed it up. H o w h a d the money been abstracted without breaking the seals and getting the keys from the mer- chant? The room occupied by Lampert a n d h i s wife was so situated that no stranger could have entered it unobserved during the day, and it was quite certain that no robbers had broken in during the night. When the couple had recovered from their first astonishment they considered who eould"have done the deed, and they could think o f n o one a t a l l likely t o b e guilty of the theft, except their housemaid, Marie Keller, a young woman of 23. The merchant at once summoned h e r t o the room and charged her with having stolen the money. He promised h e r i f s h e would confess and make restitution that he would forgive her, and though ha would dis- miss her from his service he would hush the •• matter up. The girl trembled and nearly fainted, but protested her inno- cence, and so resolutely refused to allow her guUt that Lampert and his wife insisted on examining her bedroom. They made her lead the way with a candle and stand in the middle of the room while her master and mistress explored every corner, her boxes, her bed, her drawers—in a word, every hiding place where she could have stowed away the missing coins. The search had lasted some time without producing any result, when Frau Lamport, feeling in the pocket of an old ragged dress that l a y o n t h e floor, d r e w f o r t h o n e of the Dutch ducats. When this was discovered Marie Keller burst into tears, and with ve- hemence reasserted her innocence. She fell on her knees before her master and mistress, vowed that she had not taken any coin from their coffer, and declared her inabil- ity to account for the ducat having been found in her pocket i n a n y other way than by supposing some malevolent person had put it there to inculpate her, when she was as guiltless- as a newborn child. Her pro- tests were coldly listened to and disregarded. The evidence of the ducat in her pocket seemed conclusive to Lampert that she and no stranger had robbed him. According to Prussian l a w a t t h e time, those guilty of theft were hanged if the value of the articles stolen amounted to five thalers—or fifteen shillings—and the thief was more than 18 years old. Lampert seems to have been a hard man. He was very angry at the loss of his money, and especially incensed at Marie's obstinacy in denying having taken it. He told his wife that he would communicate with the police, have the girl arrested, and that he would let her suffer the consequences. Frau Lampert urged h i m t o b e merciful. * Let him pardon this first error i n t h e poor girl's conduct, dismiss her and t r y t o f orget his loss. But Lampert would not be pacified. Then she urged that t h e l a w w a s cruelly severe, and that the sum o' money lost was not one so great but that Lampert would scarcely feel it, and that he would be cer- tain, later, to regret his harshness in giving over to Seath a girl w h o h a d yielded t o a first temptation, and had taken a compara- tively insignificant sum of money. He knew that it was possible to closely reproduce a signet with bread, but this re- qnuires considerable time. The .bread must be well 'worked, the impressison taken while the bread is soft; then it must be al- lowed some days in which to harden. This involved a double opening of his chest, once to take the cast of the seal and again to steal the money and reseal the bag.- But— how had Marie got hold of his keys? That was impossible. If, however, she could take the impress of his seal, she could take also that of the. lock. S o , h e reasoned, the robbery had- been committed; but this means adopted showed that the girl was adroit in the art, and that in all probability she. belonged-to a gang of thieves.. This suspicion was corroborated by the fact that none of the money was recovered except one ducat. The rest she had passed into the hands-of her confederates. Lampert, having turned a deaf e a r t o his wife's remonstrances, went to the magis- trate, obtained an order for, the arrest of Marie Keller, and a f e w hours later she was thrown into* prison. No sooner was this done than Frau Lam- pert sent to Marie's mother, a poor woman living in Berlin, and requested that she would come to her. The poor woman was in great trouble; she could not believe in her daughter's guilt, but was unable to guess w h o w a s t h e thief. Frau Lampert told her that the girl had been a good ser- vant, and had never hitherto given her an occasion to mistrust her; she added that the girl Marie made a great mistake in refusing to acknowledge her crime, and promised to give the mother the missing sum of money if Marie would confess her guilt, and refund Lampert through the mother. The old woman accepted the offer and went to Lampert. She told him that she was heart broken at the thought that Mane had robbed; him; sh* offered hint the money which, she said, her daughter had confided to her, and then implored h i m t o have mercy and withdraw from the prosecution of the charge. • But Lampert was still not t o b e shaken. He h a d n o w g o t this additional proof against Marie, that her mother had received the stolen coins, a n d h e a t once visited the examining judge and requested h i m t o hear the confession of the mother, in Germany the examining judge holds a pota- tion to which we have nothing tealogous. He i s i n part public prosecutor, and i t i s Ms office to collect evidence against toe ac- cused. The most important evidence, is that obtained from the prisoner himself; he fa questioned by the examining; judge m the mreWce of ¬ary employed to t a k e d o w n Ms replies.

Othersihavo committed suicide rather than confess to crimes thsy had not committed. I The examining, judge now proceeded vigorusly to collect proofs of Marie's guilt. He took the evidence of Lampert on oath. In that evidence Lampert acknowledged that he could find no signs of his lock hav- ing been tampered with nor of the seal hav- ing been forced. Nevertheless, he was able to swear, by the date of the ducat found in Marie's pocket, that it was one of those pieces of com which he had sealed u p i n h i s leather poueh and locked into the chest. Marie was questioned. She acknowledged that every evening she went into the bed- room and where the coffer was to tidy the room and prepare the bed for her master. Usually she had with her the daughter of her master. She confessed that s h e h a d been engaged in the room o n t h e evening preceding the discovery. Also she admitted that the dress in the pocket of which the ducat was found was one of her own, and one moreover which she had worn on that very evening. Neverthelesss, she persisted in her assertion that she was entirely inno- cent of the charge. The mother of the girl was next cross- examined by the judge. The poor woman, Hke so many of the uneducated, thought to save her daughter by having recourse to falsehood. I t i s a curious fact that the un- cultured i n a civilized land, like the savage, regards lying a s a natural means of protec- tion which it is always safe, and never wrong, to have recourse to. Frau Keller, confronted with the judge, at once, and naturally, f ejl back on lying. When asked whence her daughter had obtained the djic- at, the poor woman said that it was a god- mother's-present to Marie, which she (the mother) had formerly retained in her pos- session, but which she had given to Marie when she went into Lampert's service, be- cause she feared lest, in the ev«nt of her own death, her other children might seize o n t h e ducat and refuse to give it up to Marie. • The poor woman, in t&Uing this story, completely broke down the doubt which the judge had felt hitherto in Marie's guilt. He looked a t t h e ducat, and it proved by the date on it to have been struck four years after Marie's birth. The judge at once charged the woman with conniving at her daughter's guilt and showed her how false was her evidence on the testimony of the date on the ducat. This completely up- set Frau Keller; she was unable to speak for some minutes, and at last, in a broken and hesitating voice, told the judge that Maries' mistress had sent for her and offered her the money to indemnify Lamport for his loss, if she would eonf ess that her daugh- ter had committed the theft and persuade Marie t o d o s o a s well. The judge was so irritated at the woman's lie about the ducat that he dismissed this new story as a fabrication as false a s t h e former, and made no inquiry in that direc- tion. He ordered Marie t o b e brought into the room, and asked her whether she had been given a ducat by her mother, which had been a christening present from a spon- sor. The girl expressed surprise at the ques- tion, a n d i n her simpHcity replied that she had never had such a present. Then he confronted the -mother with the daughter. Frau Keller, confused, and in her con- fusion having recourse to her original false- hood, insisted that what she had said was true concerning the ducat, that Marie was a half witted creature who forgot the sim- plest things told her. Marie, on her side, entreated her mother, for "God's sake, to speak the truth. She persisted in asserting that ber mother never had told her about a christening present, and certainly had given her none. The end of this altercation was that Frau Keller confesesd she had told a lie, and entreated forgiveness, because she had been impelled by love for her daughter to do a l l i n her power to' screen her from the charge of theft and to save her life. The inquiring judge now demanded that Marie should be put on the rack, and be forced to confess her guilt. The court appointed a counsel for the defence, who opposed this demand. He pointed out that there was no trust- worthy evidence against Marie. I t w a s true that Herr Lampert had lost money; but •what proof was there that it had been taken by the accused. W a s i t possible that a rude, uneducated girl could have contrived a theft so craftily that the smallest trace of tampering with the lock and seal was not be discovered?" It behooved the accuser to show that she had the keys a n d t h e signet of Lampert in her power, and this could not be shown. He declared that he always carried both about with him, and had never missed either for a single day. H o w w a s she to know that the coffer contained money, when she was never present when it was open? For aught she knew it might. have contained legal documents. I t w a s quite true that she was allowed to enter the room where the chest was kept, b u t s h e •was there almost invariably attended by Lampert's daughter, who assisted i n t h e domestic duties. I t w a s also true that a ducat had been found in her pocket; but how could Lam- pert swear that i t w a s one of his ducats? Was his ducat the only one coined in that year? Were Dutch ducats such rarities that only his six found their way to JSerlin? How the ducat came into her pocket Marie was unable to explain; but was it not proba- ble that the real thief who had taken the money at the same time put the ducat into her pocke,t so as to throw justice o n t h e •wrong scent and lead it to suspect Marie, when the real criminal was, perhaps, an experienced burglar? According t o l a w , torture was only to be employed against the accused when evidence against the prisoner is almost conclusive, and only a-confession is needed to make it absolutely conclusive. He contended that the proofs of Marie's guilt were wanting. There were circum- ttaatial evidence of the shallowest nature, and hone whatever that was direct. According to a<—to as—^mrious but usual (custom in Germany, the demand of the pub- lic prosecntor a n d t h e contention o f t h e counsel for the defense were referred to the legal faculty of the University of Frank- iort-on-Oder to decide upon. The univer- sity professors examined the evidence and -concluded that it made so heavily against Mirie Keller that she must be subjected to torture to extract from .her the confession xequired to finally establish her gailt apd- justify sentence of execution. Aceordin(gly the unfortunate girl was placed onjthe rack, and her nerves and muscles so strained, and her joints dislocated, that in her agony she cried out that she was: ready to confess. She wag removed from, the jcackJand ad- mitted her guilt, but every effort, that was. made to obtain from h e r a n explanation bow she had managed to extract the money from bag and box failed. She would ad- mit her guilt, but not say hoV she had.com- mitted tho theft. But this confession sufficed, ana on Jurie 2A, 1731, the unfortu- nate Marie Keller was executed. Unfortunately we have such, scanty in- formation relative to h e r 'eriot that" -we 'can only say that the Lutheran pastor^hoijjire- pared her for death fouudJiexa'k^mistra'prSy to despair, still earnestly prfltestu|g her in- nocence, retracting heir confession, which ,she declared wiiS^extQrtedJfiBom^er sorely b y t h e unendurable agonies to>which she was subjected on the radc-r After awhile, however, the poor creatarg^bec^c^-teore composed, listened to Iris* exhortalfipns wS$i .meekness and submitted herself ftothe pros- pect of death in resignation to~|he will of :«3od.

It "was'tKe only yj&&[ st tory explanation of the^mysBery,°anc! J it was one eminently simple. It was in_vain for Lampert to protest that ho could not have been deceived; few believed him. That Marie wte' innocent "everyone con- cluded and that a Crime had been committed was universally admitted, and Marie's death was spoken of us the "murder in the" Bru- der strasse''—when—one evening as Lam- pert came in from his -tavern where he drank beer with a f e w boon companions, as he opened his house door, he saw some- thing that made him start back and utter a cry of horror. Before him was his wife's body, hanging from a crook in the ceiling. Almost before he had recovered himself, and had the courage to cut her down, the examining magistrate and a policeman ar- rived. The former had received a letter from Mme. Lampeit, in- which she con- fessed that Marie had died innocent, and that she had surreptitiously takenthe money " "[e assisting her husband in counting it. k ie counted she had slipped some of the up her sleeve. H e w a s going on the morrow to Leipsie, and she had been given a sum of money.only adequate to meet the ordinary household expenses. This had annoyed and disappointed her. If her hus- band went to Leipsie he would enjoy him- self there, go to the theater, drink wines, dine well; while she was drudging at home. The temptation took her to purloin a few pieces of money wherewith she hoped to give herself and her daughter some amuse- ment during her husband's absence. He had at once discovered the loss, and, afraid of his temper, she had not dared to confess what she had done, but had slipped one of the ducats into the servant girl's pocket. Afterward, when M .rie was in prison and under investigation, she had been too fright- ened to confess the truth, lest she should have been imprisoned i n t h e place of Marie, and have been sentenced t o t h e gallows. Thus she had seen the unfortunate and guiltless victim of her crime die under her eyes, and she had been ever since haunted by the sight and tortured by tho sting of her conscience. This letter she sent to the examining judge b y a servant, and at once proceeded to hang herself close to the doorway oppo- site which Marie had been hanged. When she was cut down she was quite dead. For many years after the people of Berlin pointed to Lampert's house and spoke of the judicial murder in the Bruder strasse.— Belgravia. Gallant Canon Duckworth. Everyone has read of Canon Duckworth, the handsome tutor of royalty, with whom a great lady fell in love and wished to marry. He has had a fine l i v i n g given to him in the west of London, and his church is sought by the fair sex, as a natural conse- quence. Three wijsks ago Sunday a lady in Canon Duckworth's congregation fainted during the reading of the liturgy. No one saw her apparently or went to her rescue, until he rushed down from the chancel, caught her in his arms, and bore .her to the vestry room, where he sprinkled water in her face and brought her to consciousness. This gallant deed was reported far and near and the next Sunday (an the story goes) ten young women fainted before the canon's eyes; but as he did not apparently notice them, or any one attempt their resuscita- tion, they recovered through their own efforts.—The Argonaut. SAGE AND SINGER. Within an old town by the sea A vise man and a singer dwelt; The wise man spoke laboriously And taught with pain the truth he felt; The singer scattered everywhere His careless music to the air. The wise man and the singer both lie now within the churchyard green; Summer and spring have plighted troth An hundred years they have not seen. No traces of their vanished feet Are in the old high gabled street. And of the wise man's labored words Not one is now remembered well; But still, as clearly as spring birds, The singer's simple love songs swell, And in the old town seem a part Of every home and every heart.! —Portland Transcript.

" The Curious Things which He Kemem- Vefea wttK Dlstlnctne|S-jPhenomena in n o w a y Connected with t h e S u b - : Ject's IndlviauaUiy>.:Lines ahfl Waves. How President Arthur Once Froze a S e t of Chicago Reporters into Silence. "I remember an occasion," said a Chicago newspaper man, "in which eight or nine Chicago reporters carried away mixed im- pressions of President Arthur's idea of cour- tesy. It goes without the saying that he was, always amiable and obliging in all bis associations with newspaper men, b u t o n this occasion he retired to the fortifica- tions of formal courtesy and virtually froze as aggressive a group of interviewers as ever attacked a man into absolute quietude. It was On the occasion, in the fall of 1883, of the president's short sojourn in Chicago returning from his jaunt with Sheridan in the Yellowstone. Arriving in the morning he sought the refreshment, after long travel, of his private parlors at the Grand Pacific. "In the afternoon the newspaper men laid siege. In the corridor, near the presi- dent's rooms, they took up position. Re- enforcements came and at last nine report- ers were gathered there. Each paper was sufficiently represented to take an instan- taneous photograph of the president, from three points of view, at any given moment of absolute time. Charley Farwell, Jesse j Spalding and others came and went and thei hour passed. Then the door opened and into the reception room the newspaper co-j hort was admitted. The president stood in| front of the window, bronzed and tidy and! genteel, the personification of a gentleman fashionably dressed. _ | "The boys formed a part o f a circle. AU unusual and entirely unprofessional mooj- esty seemed oppressing the crowd. The president was very reserved and very dig- nified. He wouldn't expand worth, a cent. The-talk was naturally about his trip—-what talk two or three of the nine interviewers could maange to brace up. The president' waS monosyllabic and the boys obviousj^rem- barrassed. Mr. Arthur said he thought everything they wanted to know about $», trip could be got from his friends.. It- grew chilly rapidly, though never more couirteoos, was President Arthur. Finally, with drb- ( - found and measured deliberation, a N e w ynart asked the president howhe-likedjhis Louisville fishing rod. The prjetfid^t , briefly expressed' satisfaction. Thero'wafe'i. much more t o b e said, and, a s b y a eqn-'* J impulse, the nine' reporters bowed. t their respects and silently filed out.

As'the elfortsrtovbrfeathe deeply were continued, 'the last sentence -swhich; could; ••be,- voluntarily uttered -was a rational question in" regard to a sheet, wnich an attendant., was directed to spread over me. - Then the spreading of the sheet, the touch of the napkin to the face, and the Coolness oTS'She: ether" w a ^ r d l s t m c t l y felt, ^^' "k$fc te:9ffc^--mdde:infeipiediately to speak a jfatjcmaLsenterice failed from refusal of the vocal organs to respond to the idea. I w a s -conscious- that-1 failed- from this cause; What this idea was which could n o t b e spoken could not, unfortunately, be recalled after recovery; though at the time when the idea was formed there was a distinct jugd- ment in favor of its rationality, and-A re- flection on the failure of the vocal mechan- ism. Swiftly running auras or waves seemed to follow one another rapidly from within outward over the limbs, a n d t h e " E g o " was gone. Second—The period of unconcsiousness, or the wave period. There was present during this time, and only during this time, the, single impression of two endless parallel lines in swift longitudinal motion, each line being deflected a t a certain point to form a wave. There was a uniform misty background, and only a short section of the lines jappeared, their total length being unsuggested. They seemed to be made up of points, closely set, so that their longitu- dinal movement was apparent. The lower line moved from left to right, but the di- rection of movement of the upper could not be recalled. The lower line was caught u p t o t h e level of the upper s o a s t o form a wave. A t a corresponding point a descending wave was formed Oh the upper line, so that t h e t w o lines intersected. These waves maintained their one position, the idea of motion being conveyed by the points which made u p t h e lines, these seeming to run over the eleva- tions at a hurried rate, but with perfect regularity. There was a constant sound or whirr, not loud, but distinct, as of small wheels or a spindle revolving with great swiftness. This sound like impression seemed to be connected with the running lines, and ceased as they disappeared. ( I t m a y b e remarked in passing that the only objective constant sound in the room was made b y a n argand gasburner. The objective sound did not resemble this, and, moreover, sud- denly disappeared.) These phenomena occupied the whole field. There were present no dreams or visions in any way connected with human affairs, no ideas or impressions akin to anything in past expereince, no emotions, of course, no idea of personality. There was no concep- tion as to what being it was that owas re- garding the two lines, or that there existed any such thing as a being; the lines and waves were all. After an indefinite time, without varia- tion of the above phenomena, the line in the ascending part of the lower wave grew un- steady, secondary waves being moment- arily established on the main curve. Once or twice the whole lower wave fell with an instantaneous motion, but it was at once re- stored. Third.—Period of recovery. Just at this juncture I was conscious of taking a deep inspiration, followed b y a respiratory pulse, the succeeding inspiration being accom- panied b y a slight sound produced by air passing a lax, soft palate when the mouth is open. With this first conscious inspiration' came instantly tho first idea or thought of any considerable scope—namely, that such a respiration during the etherization would indicate deep narcosis, near death. There was no fear of death or other emotion, rather feeling of interest and curiosity a s t o whether I had been ^ear the edge of life while more deeply under the anaesthetic. The waves were now lost, very rapidly, but not quite' instantaneously, in spite of a stijOng and determined effort to retain a view of them. I was still unable to speak or move. feomewhere in this period, probably after the long inspiration, and certainly before the waves disappeared and consciousness fully returned, came a number of curious ideas and impressions, many of which are Wholly beyond recall, even the order of those remembered being unknown, except as indicated above. All that can be hon- estly done is to mention them one after another, with no attempt at sequences. I was most profoundly impressed that I had been given a glimpse at the simplest expression or essential nature of human ex- istence. It seemed perfectly clear that those lines represented, or rather were my exist- ence (i. e., as a soul), and that the waves were my human or'animal life constituted a temporary modification of a. primary con- dition. The waves were exceedingly deli- cate, and the slightest disturbing force could apparently cause them to disappear and leave only two lines. (This idea was Strengthened by the flickering of the wave above mentioned.) ! The idea obtained that there was a totally (new conception t o m e and to mankind, and -that I must remember all that occurred !and recount i t o n completely returning to consciousness. There was undoubtedly a 1 definite order in which the various phases of • consciousness returned,- and I determined to ! grasp and remember the new impressions as I they came' one by one before me. At first there was no doubt that this could readily be done, all seemed so clear; b u t a s I be- came more and more ablo to understand the surroundings in the room I was less and less able to remember that which I s o strongly wished and strove to retain. There was now a knowledge that there was an in- fluence or power, absolute in authority, felt but not seen, entirely impersonal, sepa- rate from mo and from humanity. Those seemed as evident at that time as does now the existence of material objects around. The mind made no question of it while the effect of the other was present. I n t h e hands of this power memory stood helpless, controlled "by its mighty influence. Firmly, inexorably w a s m y determination swept aside, and I was -prevented, in spite of the strongest effort and tho most burning de- sire, from returning to full consciousness, with a distinct knowledge of things which to man have always been mysterious.— GeorgeE.

Careful Training of the Sons and Daugh- ters—Several Interesting Castoms—Rev- erent Beliefs of Many Generations—A Pile of Charms. In this home an ex-daimio and family dwelled, with whom I exchanged frequent" hospitalities during my sojourn in Japan. As I was one of tho family in which the daimio's youngest brother and eldest son had found a home while pursuing their education in America, I w a s cordially re- ceived by the ex-prince in turn. The fam- ily then consisted of his wife, two little girls, two grown daughters, and three sons —one a baby—and the grandmother of these children—a charming old lady—three nurses, and a large retinue of servants. f The father was a noble specimen of demo- tion to his country, yet, withal, an apostle of progress. Ho was one of t h e m a n y w h o had conseented to the destruction of the old government, and had voluntarily yielded his revenues and title without a murmur, for the public good. The lady mother and eldest daughter wero peers of the ladies of any laud in their love of beauty, ornament, elegant dress, and neatness, and in their skill in- household management, as well a s i n those socisl amenities and tactics of polite circles that etiquette prescribes. This mother was as strong in tenderness, patience and long suffering for and with her children as her European or American sis- ters; and equally faithful and assiduous in their training and education, according to her knowledge. She taught her daughters as her mother had taught her. that the three fundamental duties of woman aro obedience to her parents when a child, obe- dience to h e r husband when married, and obedience to her eldest son, if she becomes a widow. She also instructed them from the Japan- ese Ladies' Library, which is a compen- dium of the moral arid physical duties of woman. It includes the subjects of house- hold and social management, rules f o r t h e strictest etiquette, a guide to letter writ- ing, proverbs, poems from a hundred au- thors, memoirs of noble women, and order- ing for tho whole conduct of life. They were likewise taught .to read the standard histories' of Japan in Chinese characters, and both boys and girls were thoroughly drilled in the traditionary heroic, and mythologi- cal lore of their own land. The sons wero trained to manly sports and exploits, and their ambition fired by historic tales of heroes. They were urged to overcome obstacles, by the symbol over the massive outer door, where swung the huge paper carp suspended from a bamboo* pole, ever reminding the youth of Japan how the carp leaps the waterfall. These lads were also taught natural sciences and mili- tary tactics, from English and Dutch au- thors. Often in their half holidays have I found them constructing, miniature earth works, by the aid of book, diagram and trowel. Then came the tutor with lessons in fenc- ing and wrestling, and the use of cross spears and swords, in the handling of which they became marvelously expert. The father instructed the sons in the Chinese classics himself and stimulated their young souls by tales of classic lore. One of the interesting customs I thus learned of in the life of this house was that of the many festivals—the Feast of the Dolls for the daughters of the house, when year after year the great . nursery was decked with blooming bows, and the many toys in which Japan abounds, while a pretty mimic life of motherhood and housekeeping prevailed for one whole day; of the Feast of the Banners, when the boys were marched out in triumph to the streets, with emblaz- oned banners to enact a mimic war; of the New Year's day, when prince and retain- ers, master and servaats, pledged anew their devotion to each other, and received gifts of good things; of the religious fes- tivals, when the master's household, like a great heart, beat for the birth and death, the joy and sorrow, of his tenantry. Here, for two centuries, the daughters of the house had been given in marriage, without spoken vow or priestly rite; but by gift and song, dance and cheer, began their, new career. From thence had gone out the father to Yeddo or Fakui on public or private business—the- sons for education and culture, the daughters for travel or re- ligious duty. Theso walls had echoed with songs and laughter, with- cries and sobs. Here, in time of bereavement, in the ora- tory of the house where the sacred lights and incense burn, one after another black tablet was set, gilt-lettered, to be honored by later generations. In the path b y t h e . old shrine, made sa- cred by the reverent beliefs of generations, I took my final l e a y e of this interesting family. I asked for a memento from its hallowed contents, and tho ex-prince gave me a case of light Wood, containing an amulet written in Sanskrit and Chinese, for the protection of this ancient house; and as I passed o u t o f the^great gate, I stood under a pile of charms- a foot in thickness, which had been added yepr by year, to, ward off sickness ana harm.—Helen S .

SAGE AND SINGER.
Within an old town by the sea A vise man and a singer dwelt;
The wise man spoke laboriously And taught with pain the truth he felt;
The singer scattered everywhere His careless music to the air.
The wise man and the singer both l i e now within the churchyard green;
Summer and spring have plighted troth An hundred years they have not seen.
No traces of their vanished feet Are in the old high gabled street.
And of the wise man's labored words Not one is now remembered well;
But still, as clearly as spring birds, The singer's simple love songs swell,
And in the old town seem a part Of every h o m e and every heart.!
