Tho following is from .John Lit Farge's "Letter from Japan" in the Century: "You have heard of the little gardens, and of their exquisite details, in which the Japanese 'makes a little epitome of nature, arranged as if for one of his microscopic jewels of metals, ivory, or lacquer. "Here in our own garden there would seem no call for an artificial nature. The mountain slope on which we live must always have been beautiful of itself but for all that, our garden —this is to say, the space about our landlord's house aud our own—has been treated with extreme care. Our inclosure is framed towards the great temple groves, and the great mountains behind them, by a high wall of rock," over which, at a corner edged with moss, rolls a torrent, making a waterfall that breaks three times. The pool below, edged with iris that grow in the garden sand, is crossed by a bridge of three big flat stones, and empties secretly away. On each side of the fall, planted in the rock wall, sfends a thick-set paulownia, with great steady leaves, and bending towards it a willow, whose branches drop far below itself and swing perpetually in the draught of the waterfall. Bunches of pink azalea grows in the hollows of the rocks, aud their reflections redden the eddies of the pool. Steps which seem natural lead up the wall of rock old pii\es grow against it, and our feet pass through their uppermost branches. On the'top is planted a monumental stone, and from there a little path runs alonsr. leading nowhere nowadays, as far as 1 can make out. 1am right in calling this mass of rock, which is a spur of the mountain's slope, a wall, for I look down from its top to the next inclosure far below, now overgrown and wild. What is natural and what was made by man has become so blended together, or has always been so, that 1 can choose to look at it as my mood may be, and feel the repose of nature or enjoy the disposing choice of art. "Where the little bridge crosses over, and where mossy rocks dip down a little to allow a passage, edged by a maple and a pine, I look over across the hidden road to a deserted yashki, with one blasted tree, all overgrown with green aud melting into distances of trees, which, tier behind tier, reach to 9 little conical hill, that is divided and subdivided by sheets of mist at every change of heat and damp.so that

I feel half as if I knew its forms perfectly—half as if I could never get tihem all by heart. "In the sand of our little garden are set out clumps of flowers, chrj-santhe-mum mostly, and occasionally iris and azalea aud the two houses make its other two sides. The priest's house, an old one, with large thatched roof projecting in front aud supported there by posts covered with creepers, is nearer the water. I see the little priest with his young neophyte curled on the mats in the big front room whose whole face is open while in a break.or wing.is the opening to the practical housekeeper side of the dwelling. "Our own house, which faces south like the priest's, completes the square, as I said. Ti edged on the outside by a small plantation of trees with no character, that stretch away to the back road and to a wall terracing a higher ground behind. There a wide space overgrown with bushes and herbage, that cover former care and beauty, spreads out indelinitelv towards conical hills hot iu the sun, behind yi'hich rises the great volcanic slope of •N'io-ho. A littli temple shrine, red, white, and gold, stands iu this heat of sunlight and makes cooler yet the violets and tender greens of the great slopes. This is to the north. When I look towards the west I see broad spaces broken up by trees, and the corner of Iyeyasu's"temple wall half hidden bv ilie gigantic cedars, and as I write, laie in the afternoon, the blue peak of Nan-tai-san rounded oil' like a gjobe by the yellow mist. "The garden, embosomed iu this vastness of nature, feels small, as though it were meant to be so. Every part is on a small scale, and needs few hands to keep things in order. We have a little fountain in the luiddld of the garden, that gives the water for our bath, and sends a noisy stream rolling through the wooden trough of the wash-room. The fountain is made by a bucket placed upon two big siones. set in a basin,along whose edge grow the iris, still iu bloom. A hidden pipe tills the bucket, and a long green bamboo makes a conduit for tho water through the wooden side of our house. With another bamboo we tap the water for our bath."

LANCASHIRE LASSES.

Tliey Are the Strongest Female Workers •In All Europe,

The Lancashire women, at least, are the rosiest, strongest set of women imaginable—that is, on Sunda3's and holidays, when repeated washings and scrnbbings have removed several layers of coal-dust aud it is notorious, locally, that at pinch most of them are fully equal in physical power to their masculine colleagues, says CasseVs Saturday Journal. At homo they are not inferior to any class of women, working or otherwise. Being engaged in the open air all day, they can naturally turn in the evenings with more than ordinary zest to household duties.

In a word, they are thoroughly domesticated. Lastly—and this, after all, is the great point—their demeanor and general conduct are absolutely unimpeachable.

As to the working dress of the pit women, that is certainly peculiar, looked at from a conventional standpoint.

Up to a few years ago they were attired like men up to the waist, with buckled clogs on their feet. Above the knees came the end of a peculiarlyfashioned tunic, a composite sort of a garment—half jacket, half dress, with some sacking material tied around the waist as an apron.

A limp bonnet, tied under the chin, or a sort of turban, so arranged as just to show the neatly-plaited,Ziair and the bright earrings, completed the costume, and very odd'it looked, especially ac a distance, which in this/ case did not lend enhancement to tty'e view.

Now out of deferencj to the feelings

THJE OR A W FORDS VILLJfc WEEKLYREVIPW

tne tunic is worn a nine longer, so as nearly to hide the masculine garment, the headdress is a little neater, and, in addition, a short jacket is worn.

The dress is certainly not picturesque, but as a means to an end, as allowing the utmost freedom of motion and obviating accidents, it is beyond all praise.

Nevertheless, the women themselves are conscious of its incongruity, and take tho earliest opportunity of changing it for ordinary female attire as soon as they get home from work.

It has happened before now that while proceeding to or from work they have, some of them, been made the subject of attack by somebody with an undue proportion of tongue to brain, but—this may be said with safety— never more than once by the same individual.

Iu addition to possessing a highly vigorous vocabulary they are so hardened with exposure to the weather and developed by the nature of their work that they can give a good account of themselves, "even though a fight should ensue, and the opponent may have reason to admit, with benefiting humility, the wisdom of Providence in endowing women generally with the will and keeping from them the power.

-vj Comparative Length of Life.

According to recent figures the people of this country are longer lived than those of Europe. In this country 18 persons out of every 1,000 die each year. Iu England the average is 20, and iu Germany 26.

A GREAT CALCULATOR.

Anccdoteg of Babbage, the Famous Problem Solver.

Among the guests at Kenyon's table whose personality struck me the most were Walter Savage Landor aud Babbage. The latter was a very interesting though an egotistical talker, but few had so good a self to talk about. To my regret he no.longer gave those "Saturday evenings" which had been so fashionable a few years before. One of three qualifications were necessary for those who sought to be invited— intellect, beauty or rank—without one of these you might be as rich as Croesus and yet be told yon cannot enter here. I remember his telling me that as long ago as 1839 he had foretold that steamers would go to America in seven days.

His calculating machiue was an endless subject of monologue. It is a curious fact that I once learned, not many years ago, from an old man who had been'a boy at the same class with him at Dartmouth, that "Babbage was the stupidest boy in the whole school in arithmetic." I asked him if he remembered anything remarkable about the great calculator in his boyhood. "No, nothing—we used to call him 'Barley Cabbage,' and he didn't like it." Babbage was very foud of talking of Byron's daughter, to him she was always "Ada," for ho had carried her in his arms as a child, and he was her friend and counsellor when she was Lady Lovelace. Kenyon had met her at Fyne Court, where she was a frequent guest, being intensely interested in Sir. Crosse's electrical experiments. Kenyon acknowledged Lady Lovelace to be a woman of remarkable intellect, but she was too mathematical for bis taste. "Our family are an alternate stratification of poetry and mathematics," Lady Lovelace used to say. Babbage thought that if he was blind he coirid write poetry "and I should take for my subject the description of an intellectual inferno," he said. It was difficult to associate poetry in any form with Babbage—he was so eminently practical. He told me that he never allowed himself to lose any time. "Before setting out for a walk in the London streets or a drive in an onmibns I give m\*self certain problems to think out."

He even calculated the effect of imagination in self-delusion, lie found himself away from home without his night-cap he felt certain of catching cold, when happily he bethought himself of tying a piece of string round his head as a make-believe night-cap. Jt was quite successful, and he slept without feeling chilly. Babbage said he had told his story to Rogers, who capped it. (Kenyon shook his head at the pun, for he affected to despise them.) llogers declared ho had caught a cold through a trick of his imagination he thought he had been sitting with an open windowibehind him at a luncheon party at Lady Cork's in New Burlington street, aud was, in consequence, seized with a violent fit of sneezinoand all the sensations of catarrh, but he discovered that the window was" of plate glass and perfectly shut.—Temple liar.

An Illustration.

A little man asking how it happened that many beautiful ladies took up with but indifferent husbands, after many fine offers, was thus aptly answered by a mountain maiden: A young friend of hers, during a walk, requested her to go iuto a delightful canebrake and there get him the handsomest reed she must get it in once going through, without turning. She went, and, coming out, she brought him quite a mean reed. When he asked if that was the handsomest one she saw. "Oh, no," replied she, "I saw many liner ones as 1 went along, but I kept on in hopes of a much better, until I had gotten nearly through, aud then was obliged to select the best that was left."—N. Y. Ledger. f."~.

A Wonderful Transformation.

A tadpole, the larva of a frog, has a tail and no legs, gills instead of lungs, the heart precisely like that of a fish, a horny beak for eating vegetable food, and spiral intestines for digesting it. With the approach of maturity the hind legs appear, then the front ones the beak falls off, the tail and gills waste awa_v, the lungs arc created the digestive apparatus is chauged to suit the animal diet the heart becomes reptilian iu type by the addition of another auricle iu fact, skin, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels vanish, being absorbed atom by atom, yhile a new set is being substituted.

RICH COLORED MEN.

Bxatnples of Kx-81aves In the South Who Have Grown WeaUlty.

It will probably be surprising to know that in Galveston there is a colored man who is worth over 11360,000. His name is Silvester, and he has a fine mansion in the most desirable residence portion of the city, And, what will most surprise northern people, his wife employs none but white servants. Howdid Silvester get rich? Well, he got a'start in politics, then ran a saloon and a gambling-house for colored people for a few vears, then went into real estate and' speculated. He is shrewd and successful. One of the most successful and wealthiest real estate men of Houston is a colored man. His name is Milton Sterrstt. He owns a fine residence, surrounded by immense grounds, all terraced ofl and planted in the finest flowers and shrubbery, and keeps a landscape garden^ to attend it. Ho was a waiter on the boats between Galveston and Houston before and all during the war, and made everything he has in real estate deals during the last twenty years. He owns several large plantations, and is worth at least $400,000.

Then take Senator C. N. Burton, of Fort Bend county. When the war closed and he was freed he lived on a plantation belonging to his mistress, whose husband and two sons were killed, leaving her alone in the world. She had given him a good elementary education, he was shrewd. By attention to business he soon acquired a good farm. In a few years he added to it, aud bought in* the plantation formerly owned by his mistress, and had two other large ones on the Brazos in ten years more. His old mistress being reduced to poverty he undertook to care for her. He said, when he was elected to the State Senate, that he owed all he was to her kindness, and that he felt it his dutv to care for her. And he sent her back to her native state—Virginia—and regularly remits to her—and has done so for fifteen years—$150 every month. He is popular with whites and blacks, Democrats and Republicans, and studied law so that he could depend on himself to manage his immense plantation and Fanch interests. Senator Burton is worth over $500,000.

Then Henry Black, the great sheep and cattle ranchman of Tom Green and Pecos counties, is worth nearly Half a million. He has made it all in less tjian fifteen years. Are these men Southern negroes? Yes, every one of them.

But the largest plantation owner and the heaviest farm-land taxpayer in the rich county of Lamar was a lightcolored mulatto named Harvey. He died a few weeks ago and left a widow,who will be able to pull through probably, ds her husband left four large plantations, a fine stock, farm, some city property in Paris, and a big bank account. Besides this he left her a snug little insurance policy on his life for $18,000.

Harrison's Aversion to the Camera.

President Harrison has a peculiar aversion to having his photograph taken or his portrait drawn. A number of efforts have been made to persuade him to sit for a picture amid the surroundings in which lie is daily found in the White House, but they have proved of no avail. He sat for some pictures to the regular Washington photographers when he came here first, but lately he has refused tp give any sittings. Postmaster General Wanamaker is equally averse to being photographed. I believe he had a photograph taken just before he came to Washington, but it was the first in many years, and he has refused steadfastly to sit to the local photographers since his introduction into office. The other members of the Cabinet are not 30 backward about having greatness thrust upon them.—y. Y. Tribune.

Electric omnibuses are to be run in London. All Girl's Should Row.

Young women should conquer the timidity that they feel the moment they set foot iu a row-boat. A young man of the right sort has no patience with the want of confidence women have in themselves and in his care for them. Bear iu mind, courage is a quality not to be despised, and can be worn becomingly by auy girl. It will come to you and perchance has, as it does to all women in some time of great emergency, and yet you are here afraid of that which an Iila Lewis has mastered when at its wo.rst, and which, if once understood, would give you pleasure and greater bodily stn.iigth. Some good oarsuiau will show you how to sit in a boat and how to row with one oar"aud then with two. He will teach you the strokes and other matters necessary to be acquired. Enjoy your x'owiug as' you would your bath or your breakfast, because it is good for the body and helps, as does sill physical exercise, to prolong life. Swimming, girls take to even better than boys, aud are much more graceful and every girl should, if possible, unr derstand this most useful of pastimes. —Ellen Le Garde, in Ladies' Home Journal.

Ho immediately got his dogs and club md prceeded to investigate. Raising ap one of tho lids in the stove, he was surprised when a large owl jumped out apon him. It had gotten iuto the ihimney, which is twenty-five feet high, md went down through a five-foot stovepipe iuto the stove, where it was iiscovered by Mr. Kolb.
