————————— a ————————— - THE FEA A Great Event Every Year For Little Girls In Japan, Every little boy or girl ought to live In Japan, for the children in that coun- try certainly do have the best kind of times. Once a year there is what they T OF DOLLS. eall O Hina Matsuri, or feast of dolls, | Every girl on that day puts on her love- | Hest kimono and gums and dresses her hair into a stiff bow to look like a shin- | ing black butterfly. Then she impa- tently awaits the coming of her little | friends, who, with herself and parents, | get out the sacred dolls which have be- longed to the family perhaps for cen- tures. What dolls they are and empresses, with their courts, all gorgeously dressed, carrying umbrellas, mirrors, musical instruments and even silver chopsticks! When the dolls have been arranged | the children, squatting gracefully on the floor, draw lots for the honor of serving the emperor and empress dolls with sake and sweet rice cakes made in the form of dolls. This knotty point being decided, they play a charming game of make believe, in which they entertain the Son of Heaven, as the real emperor is called, at a sake party. At night the streets are decorated with lanterns in the form of dolls, and everybody presents everybody else with a doll. There are performing dolls aft. er the manner of our Punch and Judy shows, and every kind of fun goes on. The feast lasts three days and is the event of the year for the little girls in the Land of the Rising Sun.

One-third was being given special attention, and many im- aginary articles had been divided. Still some of the pupils did not quite under- stand. y “Suppose,” sald the should find a nest with and while taking them house should break two of them, what part of her eggs would she break 7 A little girl with bright eyes and brown curls wriggled her hand so vig- orously that she was given permission to speak and confidently replied: ‘She would break the shells.” A merry peal of laughter broke from the children, showing that they appre clated the point made teacher, “Cora six eggs In It th to ae False Kindness, The softest little fluff of fur!

C. Mills, curator of the museum af the Ohio State Archeological and Historical society, has made a discov. ery in Ross county, a few miles south of Chillicothe, which, he believes, will have an important bearing upon the final estimate of the attainments of the mound builders. He and a party of Ohio State university students have unearthed a prehistoric village on an elevation near the Scioto river whose inhabitants left signs that they knew something of agriculture and the do- mestic arts, says the Columbus (0.) cor respondent of the New York Post, Thus far forty-nine pits en the site have excavated. In several of them, among heaps of parched corn and beans, evidence was found that the mound builders did not subsist en- tirely on fish and game, as has been thought hitherto by many archmolo- gists. The pits contain also rude weav- ing Instruments, bobbins and other household fmplements, some made of flint, others of bone. Broken pot tery of various shapes was found, as also necklaces of shells, polished bea- ver teeth, carved of curious shapes, tobacco pipes, stone axes, awls been needles, bones and beads Not all the pits were used ns store. houses or dwelling places. In one of them were found several skeletons. One narrow grave was occupied by two aged lovers in other's arms. Their extreme age is shown by the that, m y well preserved, the woman's skull : tooth, very much worn, while the man's has none at all.
