Little Bob sat very still at the breakfast table. He was so busy thinking that he only ate one saucerful of the big, red rasp berries fresh from grandpa’s garden. and covered with golden cream from grandma’s milk-pans. Bob was spending his vacation at grand- pa’s farm, and there were so many pleasant things going on that the little fellow hard- ly knew what to do first. “ Now if I ride to the mill I can’t go fish no with Sam,” hethought, shaking his little puzzled head. “ Sam says the fishes in the creek are big’s gra ndpa’s turkeys, and they bite (guicker’n ’squitoes. Guess I’ll go with him." But just at that minute he saw grandpa- and the hired men in the empty hay‘ woggon ;tliey must be going to the meadow for a load of hay. What fun it would be to ride home on the soft, sweet hay, away up among the tree tops ! It was nicer than riding on the elephant in the park, Bobby thought. So his little heels made quick time along the path to the barn, and he clambered in- to the big waggon, over the wheel, and cared nothing more for Sam’s wonderful fish. “ Wait a minute, dear l” called grandma. from the kitchen door. “ Do you know any little boy who wants to climb up into this tree and get some cherries for grandma’s pies?” “ No-o grandma," said little Bob with a very long face. “ I don’t know any such boy, honestly. Aren't you ’fraid he might tumble out of the tree and break his arms and legs?” “ Oh, ho, Bob l" laughed grandpa. “ That’s the first time you ever were afraid to climb a tree 1” Lazy Bob hung his head, but he did not give up his point. _ “’Sides, I don't think cherry pies are very good,” he argued. “ Kind 0’ sour and puckery.” . “ You’ll eat ’em fast enough when dinner time comes,” said grandpa. “ “loll, never mind, Bobby, boy,’ saxd gentle grandma, seeing how sober the little fellow looked. “I’ll get along without the cherries. Go and have a nice ride, dearie ; you can't be u. little boy but once.” So the long wagon went jolting and rattling away so fast that Bob had to catch hold of the high rack to l-zeepirom tumbling over. ' The meadow looked so pretty with the green hay-cocks dotted evenly over it, like wigv.‘unis in an Indian village, Bobby fancied. The hired men jumped out of the wagon and pitched in one cock after another \\ith their long pitchforks. Grandpa arranged the hin in the wagon so that the load would balance wall, and little lloii’s sent. rose higher and higher as the wagon was filled. Put somehow Bobby was not having a very good time. lie could not help think- ing that grandma was always ready to leave her Work and hunt for his missing balls and whistles, or to give hima dough- nut when he was hungryâ€"«which, to tell the truth. was most of the time from break- fast to dinner, and from dinner town. He remembered, too, how yesterday he had poked a hole in a hornets’ nest, just to see what it was made of, and how the hornets’ stings hurt: and how grandma cured them with soda and told him stories till he forgot the pain. "Say, grandpa, let me out,” said Bobby. "I want to go to the house 1 forgotsomc- ll! thin . v , “Forgot what? \ cur knife? Here, take mine," said grandpa, fumbling in his; pocket. ‘ . x “No, thank you, grandpa," said bob. “Something else." “Something to out I’ll warrant!” said grandpa, pullingout a paper bdg. “Grand- ma said you’d be hungry, so she put you up a lunch." . ‘ Bob looked into the bag anu saw it was full of urnudnm's nice. sugary cookies in the shupedl litLe rings and hurts. He felt more ashamed than ever, and he could not have eaten one of those cookies if he had been siarviuz. “Oh 'zisn'Zâ€"Ibnt, grandpa!" he said, with a little shake in his Voice, "I f-for- got what lots of thian grandma does for me. " "Rev? \\’ell.I guess you did, ” said gnudp‘s. "Thole cherries must. be tired of waiting for you." So with grandpn's help Bob slid down to the ground and ran home like a squirrel. In a very short time grandma was sur- prised to see a small boy coming in at the woods-lied door, wile a big pail of ripe, ied cherries. . "And. grandma," said Bob," I won t for- ge: again, you'll see." W Never tell long stories of which you yourself are the hero. ) The Government In Attenuve [0 European Forms and Theories orl'lvlluauon. The popular impression that China. is a somnolent nation, conservative of tradition to the neglect of all progressive opportuni- ties and to the contempt of modern ideas, is erroneous. Though the people at large are difficult to convert to new ideas, the five to European forms and theories of civilization and has adopted 'whatever seemed advantageous to the political pres~ tige of the Empire. If there has been less earnestness, less positiveness in this respect than Japan has evinced, the advancement made in the past ten or fifteen years has, nevertheless, been very remarkable as an indication of the vitality of the oldest em- pire of the earth. In 1887 a resident in Pekin said : “There can be no two opinions as to the main objects of contemporary Chinese politics. China is determined to maintain her autonomic position and he prestige by the untold riches of her mines and the inexhaustible reserve of men who can be trained to fight. She cannot stop the foreign trade, and she would not if she could, because the money it yields increases her revenues. She will not part With the useful funds which help her to strengthen her ports and to drill her forces. Her is now in foreign drill, in rail- nope worked in for- ways, in mines to be eign ways ; in science to be studied with the help of foreign professors. Sheis in fact entering upon the adoption of a foreign regime in these respects, just as certainly as Japan, but she takes d. longer time to make the change.” She has so developed in these years that she is not to be regarded lightly as a modern force. She would now be a formid- able cnemy to a. European power, for her millions of armed men have not only been well drilled according to European tactics, but they are no longer limited to primitive weapons, but are largely equipped with the best firearms of European manufacture, and are by no means so much behind in the matter of artillery as they were in their last wars. Her military system is based upon avast scheme of colonization, the population of provinces being as well trained to military as to agricultural service. The word army in China comprehends myriads. a. swarm that would pale into insignificance the hordes of Xerxes. If. then, it be a question of numbers, Japan might be trampled like dust under the insurging hosts of.the Emperor. Touching the point of diderence between these two powers, the words of M. Arinori, the Japanese Minister to Great Britain in 1884, are not without a sort of prophetic value. lle declared it to be one of the fictions of Chinese foreign policy that States which are in reality independent on .inevertheless in some mysterious way dependent upon China, “ Tonquin, the Loo Choo Islands, Corea, and Siam form the outermost circle of so-called dependencies. In these four Chinese suzerainty is purely nominal. In tho Loo Choo Islands Japan ignored the claims of China, and although China. was very sore she did not go to war on that account. Neither did she go to war about Tonquin. In the case of Cores. the Chinese have allowed the Coreans to negotiate treaties with foreign powers, thereby virtually waiving the claims upon which they formerly insisted.” Ignoring these claims in the case of Cores. has involved Japan in the present difficul- ty. of which she is preparing to make the best. Until 1890 Japan was an absolute monarchy, but in that year there were modifications which gave the form of a representative government, though it was not established in fact because the Cabinet Ministers were responsible only to the lmperor and not to the people, but now the representative conditions are recogniz- ed. The army of Japan is not at all com- parable in size to that of China, being about 200,000, including otiicers, but it is better disciplined and better equipped, it is believ- ed. and its navy is organized after the model of Great Briluiii’s and is of great power. The total personnel of the navy is 3.58;"), according to latest reports The r proportion of conscripts per 1,000 inhabi- imiis is 10.94. Japan will therefore be able lo present to China a war footing of rather formidable character. __.â€"+__â€" Hard on the Anarchists. The future French Anarchist who com- mits a capiial crime will be taken to a dungeon us soon as he has been arrested and confined there until the hour of his death, except during the short time of his appearance in the trial room. He .will be designated by a number instead of ii name. No visitor will be permitted to see him, his photograph will not be. sold, no newspaper in France will publish a report of his trial, or allude to him in any way under penalty of a heavy fine and imprisonment of the owner of the paper and the Anarchist will, in the end, he buricd in an unknown grave. No report‘ ers will witness his death, and, worst of all. he will be condemned, not by ajury of his peers, who might have anarchistic sympathies, or who could be frightened by threats into giving a mercxful verdict, but by Judges who have the good of the State at hart. No delegation cf flower- beiirin; women, speech-making men. photor graph hands or sympathizcrs will make the Anarchist’s family celebrated or his gran- fuutcus. Even the mos: radical Red ii: Paris, as he looks the matter over seriously, wiil Wonder what there is in the Anarchist scneiue alter all. Under the present programme the Anarchist, from the moment of his arrest, will be dead to the world, and will be carried to a swift sni secret annihilation, in which there is no possible element of fame or publicity. The eil‘ect of such treatment upon he. L‘hichago Anarchists, seven of whom are now conducting lame and prosperous euloous as a result of the fame aroused by their bomb throwing, would be beneficial to the citizens of Chicago. .____...____ “Are you going away {or the summer, Snaggs!" asked Snl kins. “Don’t need to," repliedSnaggs.

The large, pretentious brick residence at 6 Miami avenue. in this ciiy, is the home i the heroine of this interesting story. ~l-e is Miss Margaret Stenbaugh, and her oteresting experiences during the past four years are published here for the first time. "Four years ago," she said, “ I was a sufferer in all that the term implies, and never thought of being as healthy as I am Lo-day. Why at that time, I was such a scrawny, puny little midget, pale and emaciated by an ailment peculiar to as women, that my father and mother gave me up to die. The local practitioner (I was at that time living at Scotland, Brant 00., Out”) said it was only a "matter of days when I would be laid away in the church yard, and as I was such a sufferer I cared not whether I lived or died; in fact, think I would have preferred the latter. ‘ lcould notwalk, and regularly everynight my father used to carry me upstairs to my room. remember my telling him that he wouldn’t have to carry me much longer, and how he said, with tears in his eyes that he would be willing to do it always, if he could only have me with him. It was evidently fore- ordained that I should not die at that par- ticular time, as a miraculous transformation in my condition was the talk of the neigh- borhood. I read of the wonderful cures that were being wrought by Dr. \Villiams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and my father Went to Brantford, where he purchased a couple of boxes from Joe. A. \Vallace. I commenced taking them, and I thought for a time they did me no good, as they made me sick at first, but very shortly I noticed a. great change. They begun to act on my trouble, and in the space of six months I was able to walk. I continued taking the pills, and in six months I was in the con- dition you see me now. I fully believe that they alone saved me from the grave, and you will always find myself and balance of of our family ready to talk about the good Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills did for me.” Sworn and subscribed to before me this 15th day of December, 1893.
