This Is the spot IJ-me the lov-roifel t&tn< house A. beaten path leads to the opeu door, While o'er the roof the |dear old woodblno twlneth,

And casts weird shadows on the oaken floor. The spider weaves his web In darkened corners The criokot chirps be'lde the open door, And through the dim and low uncurtained windows

Ane moonlight steals la bars across the floor. Still as or yore I hear tho robbing calling? From out th iir leafy nojta inla orchtrl trees And from tho flrst starredJOolds of ripening clever

I hear the drowsy hum of countless boe».

Tho crook still ripples on 'mid green-fringed willows, Just as of Old, when with our dimpled hands Wi. throw white pebbles on Its silvery b)som

And watched Vin sin'tm^ iQ in shining utd In the barn-loft the hay is stored from sunny meadows,

In wavy biil nvs l'ra?rant, cool and sweet. And stooping low I hear the pee-wee calling From her mud mist, her old familiar "tweet." Within tho por.jh my father's scythe's still hanging,

Its bright bla le clouded o'er with rust.| The hands that swung that scythe in frngrint meadows,

Are mouldering bick to kindred dust. The children thit once |played in these fa nil iar placos,

And nightly gathered 'round tho flre-iido To play their merry games where are they? Scattered like leaves cf Autumn, far and wide.

But '.here's a home whose brightness is eternal, That knows no parting, neither care nor sin There chilling death—th it dreaded king of tor rora—

With]K0mber shadow cannot enter in. HETTIE A. MARTIN.

OLDEST ARMY NURSE.

She Is 81 Tears Old and Holds a Government Position.

One of the brightest, cheeriest and happiest old ladies in town is Miss Harriet P. Dame, whose record as a hospital nurse during the war of the rebellion is second to none, says the New York Tribune. She is 81 years old now, this heroic and devoted woman, crippled from two falls tfhe received last year, both of which broke her leg. and not in good health, but her spirits are never depressed, and one understands of what value such a temperament must have been in the hospital wards and why she is called "mother" by some of t)he men whom sihe nursed through long and tedious illness. Miss Dame went to the front with the Second New Hampshire volunteers in A.pril, 1861, and remained in the field four years and eight months, the longest service of any woman. During this time she passed through many thrilling experiences, on more than one occasion barely escaping with her life. She was with the army in the seven days' retreat and in the trenches of Fair Oaks, and at Gettysburg, Petera burg and Appomatox. At the second battle of Bull Run she was made a prisoner, but was sent through the lines back to the union army becausee of her kindness to the confederate wounded. At the close of the wax a vote of thanks was given Miss Dame by the New Hampshire legislature, as well as a present of $500, which she donated toward founding a home for the veterans of her regiment. She was among the first women appointed to a place in the treasury department, and still holds her position, although in the last two years She has, on account of illness, been frequently absent from her desk.

MR. TORU HOSHI. TH MINISTER AT WASHINGTON.

rke "Tom Reed*' of His Native Country and an Authority on International Law—The Legation Noted for Absenee •t Oriental Features.

(Washington Letter.) r=7 N a pleasant part of the northwestern section of Washington, at No. 1310 N. street, stands the

Japanese legation. Though it is owned by the Japanese go a has been occupied for diplomatic purposes for ten years

or more, there is little that is Oriental in its appearance. Nothing in the exterior denotes the purpose of the building except a golden chrysanthemum, the national emblem of Japan, over the main doorway. Scarcely anything in the interior indicates Japanese ownership except the richness of the raw silk hangings and some priceless lacquerwork and porcelain. It is a pleasant three-story-aud-basement brick edifice, well shaded, with grass lawns and gardens at the side and in the rear. Connected with the residence is an annex, stretching back to the next street, and affording accommodation for the attaches and a separate entrance for business purposes.

The residence of the minister and his family can be made separate from the legation offices whenever that is "desired. On ceremonial occasions the portieres of diplomatic etiquette and precedence may be let down, but those occasions are few. At all other times those visiting the legation on official or private business are received with Informal cordiality, and find the at-

MINISTER HOSHI.

taches as accessible and jolly as a lot of college undergraduates. The chances are that if it is a pleasant day they will run across them fencing or engaged in other athletic sports under the shade trees of the lawn. They are all youthful in appearance, though some of them have had experiences which might have brought gray hairs to persons of less happily constituted temperaments.

The present Japanese minister, Mr. Toru Hoshi, is one of the most hospitable of the diplomats in Washington. He is not a wealthy man,as was Mr.Tateno, but he dispenses a graceful hospitality outside of the purely diplomatic functions in a manner which adds to its charms. In this he is assisted by his wife, who speaks English, and who is an exemplification of the culture which has been a noticeable feature of the women of the higher classes in Japan, almost from time immemorial. But Mme. Toru Hoshi is an ardent patriot. Her native country has charms for her which no amount of gayety in foreign mountain or seaside resorts can overcome. Her holidays, therefore, are passed in Japan, while the minister spends his summers at Berkeley Springs. Mme. Hoshi went home early in May, taking with her her bright young son, who had been the light of the domestic life of the legation during his brief stay here. The name of this youngster is Hiharu Hoshi. He is an only child, between five and six years of age, but is not especially spoiled because of that distinction. He is rapidly becoming an adept in American games, as well as in the tongue of the country of his temporary residence, and manifests an intelligence which promises to make him a worthy son of his father.

The manner in which the Japanese minister's name—"Toru Hoshi"—appears on the official register of the state department indicates a rather remarkable concession to western usages. The custom in Japan for centuries has been to place the family name first, the given name afterward. In his official communications to his government, the Japanese minister is Mr."Hoshi Toru." It was in that way his appointment was first announced. Mr. Hoshi has preferred to follow the customary method of writing the name which prevails in eastern countries, and puts his given name "Toru" before the family name "Hoshi." Several of the Corean legation have lately followed a like course.

Toru Hoshi is the "Tom Reed" of Japan. He presided as speaker over the house of representatives of the Imperial Diet during the first sessions of Japan's national legislature. The stormy, turbulent scenes that marked the assembling of that body threatened to make parliamentary government in Japan a failure. But the firm hand with which Mr. Hoshi wielded the gavel, his knowledge of parliamentary law and tile justice of his rulings brought older out of chaos. He was chairman of the Budget Committee which provided the ways and means for carrying on the war with China, and he presided over and largely conducted the deliberations of the committee on codification of the laws of Japan, which resulted In making an opening for Japan to propose the important treaties

ieeri pat'Into But while Mr. Hoshi may resemble Speaker Reed in his ability as a parliamentary leader, he has none of hi* sense of humor or sarcastic wit. He take3 life altogether seriously. He began his political career by so savageljr attacking abuses of .government in a series of addresses he delivered all over Japan in advocacy of popular right* and the establishment of representative institutions that he was twice imprisoned and once temporarily banished from the capital. After the adoption of the constitution of 1889, which accorded most of the popular rights for which he had contended, he was pardoned, as "an act of grace," and went abroad to study representative institutions in England and other European countries. He Jhad previously become a barrister of the Middle Temple in London. His "eating his terms" in that institution of learning was not merely a formality. He became an intense student of international law, and has never relaxed his studies in that direction. His library contains nearly every known work on the subject in the English language, for he speaks but little French, and he is constantly adding to it. Just as the famous Japanese surgeons, Kitasato, Aoyama and Okata, who discovered the germs of the bubonic plague, are widely known in the medical world, Mr. Hoshi bids fair to become celebrated as a jurist.

English is-the language best spoken by all the members of the legation outside of their own tongue. Most of them were educated in Europe, but Mr. K. ishero Matsui, the secretary of legation, is the fii st product of the Imperial University of Tokio, Japan, and owes his varied accomplishments entirely to that recently established institution. He possesses somewhat of the gravity of demeanor of the minister, but lightened by a keen capacity for enjoyment and considerable humdr. He served in a diplomatic capacity in Corea during the eventful days of the ChinoJapanese war, but left before the final tragedy which resulted in the assassination and cremation of the queen. In the recent negotiations of the Japanese treaty with the United States, Mr. Matsui played an important part, for which he has been suitably rewarded,

SACRED THREADS.

Worn by the nrsbmana and the Paraeei —Indians* "Medicine Ccids,"

The sacred thread of the Brahmans is well known it is a caete distinction assumed at an early age, and never parted with, says Chambers' Journal. It must be made by a Brahman, and should consist of three strands, each of a different color, forty-eight yards in length, doubled and twisted together twice, the ends tied in knots. It must be worn next the skin, over the left shoulder, hanging down to the thigh on the right side. The three castes of the Hindoos are distinguished by the material of these threads—cotton for the Brabmans, hemp for the warriors and wool for the artisans. The Par sees also wear the sacred thread, and boys of 7 to 9 are invested with it, the threads used being made always of fibers of the suru tree. Monier Williams describes the sacred girdle of tho Parsees as made of seventy-two woolen threads, forming a flat band, which is twined three times around the body, and tied in two peculiar knots, the secret of which is known only to the Parsees. The use of "medicine cords" is common among the North American Indians. Mr. Bourke describes those worn by the Apaches. These consist of one, two, three and four strands, to which are attached shells, feathers, beads, rock crystal, sacred green stones, and other articles,doubtlessly employed symbolically.

TALLTEXAN TO LEAD PARADE.

(Kansas City Letter.)

It will not be a freak lured from a museum who will lead the Kansas City carnival parade, though people might be forgiven for thinking so. Col. Henry Clay Thruston of Texas, however, pursues no such exciting profession. His eight feet of length, together with

TO ASTONISH KANSAS CITY POLK, his brains and energy, are devoted to the farming business.

No one could walk more stiffly than does this giant, nor could any one imitate his movements by any possible means. His walk is all his own—it is a part of his stock in trade.

Col. Henry Clay Thruston was born in South Carolina sixty-six years ago. His father and mother were both over six feet tall, and when Henry grew to be six feet tall it was taken as a matter of course. But he did not stop at six or seven. He grew and he grew, and he grew with the persistency of a sunflower, and probably never would have stopped growing had not the war come on and swept him into the fray. He was eight feet liigh when be entered the confederate service and a wound received in Arkansas while fighting under Gen. Marmaduke stunted his growth before he was half through.

The dude is very often the living picture of an unpaid tailor bill.

Asked on one occasion to say a few .irds of advice to boys, Sir John Mil'pis said: "My advice to all boys is

Vork!' They can't all be geniuses, -ut they can all work, and without vork even the most brilliant genius Aill be of very little good. I never •ecommend anyone to be an artist it is a wretchedly disappointing profession for moat and is terribly overcrowded. If a boy has got a real calling to be an artist, lie will be one without being recommended. Scores and scores of people bring their children to me and ask me if I should advise them to bring them up as painters, and I always say, 'Certainly not.' But whatever a boy Intends to be he must grind at it study all the minute details, not scamp any of the uninteresting elementary part, but work away so as to be thoroughly well up in all the ground work of the subject.

Thought It a rine Text.'

The new minister (who has preached from the text "Except ye repeat ye shall all likewise perish")—Very glad you liked the sermon, Mrs. Hodges.

Mrs. Hodges—Aye, zur an' it were a line text, too "Except ye pay rent y* •hall all go to the parish."

Scrofula Tumors

Broke Out and Caused Intense Suffering—Hood's Sarsaparllla Keeps the Blood Pure "Several years ago I had scrofula which- appeared in tumors in different parts of my body. It took five weeks for them to develop so they cou^d, be lanced and I suffered intensely. Physicians failed to cure me. Ater three years of great suffering the trouble reached my throat and my tonsils were consumed. I read of enres of scrofula by Hood's Sarsaparilla and procured six bottles. After taking a few bottles I felt better. I«continued until I was eventually cured. I have never been troubled with scrofula since that time. Hood's Sarsaparilla keeps my blood pure in spring and fall." MRS. SARAH G. DALES, Rutland, 111.
