Adversity Tested to the Bull the Great -
noes of General Washington.
Never did a dictator indeed find him-
self in greater straits. In all directions he
had been sending for men. By every
method he sought to hold those he had.
Yet as fast as he gathered in new troops
others left him, for the bane of short en-
listments poisoned everything. He was
not only fighting a civil war, but be bad
to make his army as be fought, and even
for that he bad only these shifting sands
to build on. "They come," he wrote of
the militia, "you cannot tell when and
act you cannot tell where, consultee your
provisions, waste your stores arid leave
you at last at a critical momenb." He
was as near desperation as be ever came
in his life. We can read it all now in his
letters, but he showed nothing of it to his
men. Schuyler, always faithful, sent him
some troops. Sullivan, too, came with
those that Lee had tried to lead, and then
it was found that the terms of these very
troops were expiring and that by the new
year be would be left with only 1,500, al-
though at the moment he had between
5,000 and 6,000 men still with him and in
outlying detachments. Opposed to him
were the British, 80,000 strong, with head=
quarters in Now York, and strong divi-
sjena cantoned in the New Jersey towns.
Outnumbered six to ono, ill provided in '
every Way and with a dissolving army, it
was a terrible situation to face and con-
quer. But Washington rose to the height
of the occasion. Under the straits his full
greatness come out -no more yiolding to
councils now, no more modest submission
of his own opinion to that of others. A
lesser man, knowing that the British had
suspended operations, would have drawn
his army together and tried to house and
recruit it through the winter. Washing-
ton, with, his firm grasp of all the inilf-
tary and political conditions, know that
he ought to fight and clotorminott to do so.

AN ODD LITTLE GIFT.
Valuable as a Souvenir of a Pathetic In.

The young business woman was in a
down town restaurant for luncheon. At
the table with her sat a little blind girl
with her mother. Sitting beside the child,
she took pains to help her in every way
possible, putting everything that she
might need within her reach. TbQ, girl be-
camuconsofousof a helpful hand!learaud,
turning to her mother, said:
"Who is it, mamilla?"
"It is a lady who is sitting next W
you," answered the mother. •
"Who is she?" asked the child again.
"I ane a business woman," canto the
answer from the subject of her questions.
"And do you always cone hero to lunch-
eon, and do many business women cone
here?" asked the child, much interested.
Than, as she received a reply, she turned
to her mother and said:
"Is the lady pretty, matmna?"
"She has a very pleasant face," answer-
ed the mother.
"Yeg, I know that from her voice," said
the child. "Can't I give the lady some-
thing? Is this pretty?"
Her hands had been wandering over the
table In search of Something that might
d,n for a gift for her new friend, and she
piuked up an oyster sholl in which a raw
oyster had boon served.
"No, it is not pretty," answered the
mother, "hub I think tho lady would take
anything."
"I should like very much to givo you
this," said the child prettily, turning to
the business woman and holding out to
bar the oyster sholl. And the business
woman took it gratefully and keeps it
among her treasures as a souvenir of a
very pleasant and pathotio little inoldent.

FLOWER VIEWING IN JAPAN. I
A National Custom to Make Banally Ex-
cursions In Blossom Time.
Miss Ida Tignor Hodnett writes of "The
Little Japanese at Home" In St. Nloholas.
Mies Hodnett .aye:
It Is one of the national oustoms to go
out on excursions, in ,parties of two or
three families, to view the flowering trees
and plants in their season. The Japanese
love all flowers, but prefer theme to which
they look up -the flowers of trees. They
visit the plum blossoms in February or
early March; the cherry, especially be-
loved, in April; the lotus in July, azaleas
during the summer, chrysanthemums In
the autumn and camellias in December.
In the pleasure grounds connected with
every temple there are always magnificent
oolleotions of flowers. An expedition espe-
olally to see the flowers is Galled a hanaml,
or flower view.
The bank of the Sumida river, which
orosses the city of Tokyo, is covered with
cherry trees. Theme give a pleasant Shade,
and the spot Is a favorite promenade for
the citizens all the year round, but In time
of "cherry bloom" the crowds that throng
the avenue are larger than ever. It is
orowded on moonlight nights and also
when the snow lies freshly fallen.
Being fully alive to the beauty of their
country, wherever there is a point from
which a picturesque view may be obtained
the .Japanese will build a pavilion, or a
teabouse, or some similar place of repose,
from which the eyes may feast on the love-
ly landscape, In the family pionics or ex-
oursions, which are frequent, some place
of beautiful situation from which there is
a good view either of land or sea is always
selected.
These expeditions are not discontinued
even when the cold of winter comes. Snow
science are greatly enjoyed, and when the
freshly fallen snow is lying on the ground
numerous parties are seen at points corn -
sanding a flue view. The children are
never exoluded, but accompany their eld-
ers on all such occasions.

"An Artist Among the Fellabeen" is
the title of an article in The Century by
R. Talbot Kelly, the English artist. Mr.
Kelly. says:
The country about Kahboona is, I think,
the most beautiful In Egypt. Being the
oenter of the d'ato growing industry, large
groves of palms are so numerous us to be
almost one continuous forest, broken here
and there by small open patches of bercime
and vegetables, principally beans, the
fragrance of which in the early spring is
delicious and, under the hot sun and with
the drowsy -hum of the wild boom, makes
one long to lie In the shade of the trees
and dream forever. The town itself Is
buried in the midst of a particularly dense
grove, and on one side is the usual blrkeb,

Few, in truth, can escapo the spell of
Bjornson's presence, says Willtain H.
&-hofield in The Atlantic. All feel drawn
at once to the big, generous, whole souled
plan who, without losing dignity, can
stoop to play with a little obild or snake
merry with congenial friends. His person-
ality is dominating. He was never Intend-
ed to play second fiddle to another, and he
neverwill. He is convinced of his superior
powers of management, and no rebuff or
failure jars his self confidence for more
than a nsoinent. He may suffer hurnilla-
tiou in one matter; he has Soon forgotten
this and IS bubbling overwith enthusiasm
for some now proposal. He throws all his
energies into some movement which
arouses his interest for the tinio and his
advocacy is always brilliant and effective,
but it is rarely constant. His friends open
their mouths in astonishment at some of
his vagaries and deplore his exocesee; they
still admire and love bitn. The conserva-
tive papers call him a traitor and a fool;
they still revere and honor hien. Ono sno-
ruent he is termed "the uncrowned king
of Norway," the next "a blundering med-
dlorwho is bringing disgrace and dishonor
to his land."
Bjornson Is certainly a bundle of con-
trasts. He has led an impulsive, inconse-
quent life, and yet no one perhaps in his
generation has exerted in Norway it more
powerful dominion. Especially in the
country districts is his sway supreme.
