TEE TGBJLSS SDfGESS.
The colored concert company
which appears at Lloyd's opera
house on Thursday evening of next
week under the auspices of the K.
P. lodge, comes very highly recom
mended, as the following para
graphs show:
"The double quartette of colored
singers sang the-old plantation
melodies, which every one has
heard but which nearly every one
is anxious to hear acrain. The
singerswere repeatedly recalled.
The solo numbers were especially
good the soprano being a singer
.with .extraordinary powers and a
sweetroice over which sheshas db
solute control. She sang 'Steal
away 'fo Jesus and Tqe Suwanee
River.' The- audience wildly ap
plauded when she had finished, and
she was recalled again and again.
There were twenty-five numbers
besides the numerous encores, and
the singers were kept before the
audience for nearly two hours."
The Topeka (Kans.) State Journal.
'Slay ton's Jubilee Singers rend
ered a number of plantation melo
dies and hymns as only negro voices
can, and at once caught the hearts
of theic hearers. The male quartet
gave some excellent imitations of a
steam calliope and of the ringing of
distant bells. It was the last num
ber assigned to the jubilee singers,
but the people wanted more. The
audience was not quieted until the
songstress came out and sang a
version of 'Annie Laurie.'" The
Chicago Tribune.
"The program was lengthy and
varied, occupying over two hours
with hardly a perceptible pause;but
neither the audience nor the singers

close of each number was certainly
never heard at -the Association
Hall before. The Slayon Jubilee
Singers are actually immense, and

again the hall would be packed to'
the doors, as all who attended last
.night are loud in their praise of the

Racine (Wis.) Times.
"A large and appreciative audi-j
ence listened to Slay ton's Jubilee
Singers- last evening" at the Con
gregational church. Most flatter
ing reports from Chicago and other
cities had put the people of Sheboy
gan on the qui-vive, but they were
hardly prepared for such a musical
treat. The Quartet alone was
worth double the price of admission
and graciously responded to many
encores. The company is undoubt
edly the peer of anysimiliar organ
ization that has ever appeared in
our city, and we hope to hear them,
again mtlie near future." Sheh,qy-

Ancient Image e the Infant Christ.
One of the most valuable relics in the
collection of the famous church of Ara
Coeli, Rouie, is tho noted image -which
has frequently been figured and de
scribed in the investigative magazines
under the heading of "The Oldest-Doll
In the World." In Italy this valuable
carving is called "II Bambino" ("The
iDfaut"), and legend says that it is a fig
ure of the child Jesus, carved from a
tree on the Mount of Olives, the iden
tical one under which Christ underwent
the agony on the night before the cruci
fixion. According to 'the popular belief
it was. carved by a Franciscan monk or
pilgrim -(accounts differ on that sooie)
and painted by St. Luke. Iu Rome the
figure has been greatly venerated for
centuries on accouut of the power at
tributed to it of miraculously healing
tho sick,
When cardinals and other higlrchurch
dignitaries and officials are supposed to
be on their deathbeds the "Bambiuo" is
often taken to the sickroom, and many
are the miraculous cures that have been
reported. When, takenou such missions
the "Bambiuo is never carried, but is
taken by a prelate in a tan colored coach
pver which floats the holy vermilion
flag. There is a. legend that the figure
was once stolen from its place in the
church reliquary, but that it escaped
and walked back. This supposed inci
dent is made the subject of a poem by
Aldrich which bears the title of "A
Legend of Ara Coeli." St Louis Re
public. Mackintoshes and Pneamanla.
A doctor declares that mackintoshes
and pneumonia are twins. Any rubber
garment, whether of silk or wool on the
outside, is a very warm garment, and
consequently there is a constant temp
tation to wear one with nothing in the
way of a wrap underneath. But almost
all mackintoshes are loose, with only
sling sleeves'5r no sleeves at all, so that
while they exclude dampness they freely
admit the chilling wind just where tho
body is most sensitive. A long circular
cloak of serce makes a better storm
cloak than the most expensive imported
mackintosh and an ulster is best of all.
Bicycle Saddles.
Paris physicians denounce the present
saddle in use on ladies' bicycles in un
measured terms, claiming that with
this defect remedied there would be left
nothing to criticise or condemn in the
exercise. The saddle is far too narrow
at the back, throwing tho weight for
ward most unhygienically. It is absurd,
say these critics, that manufacturers do
not bend their energies to ths remedy
ing of this great handicap, instead of
trying merely to take off weight and
ndd speed to the machines.
Canary Ixrreraaklnff.
The leading bird fancier of this city
makes a specialty of canaries. He be
lieves that they can almost talk. "It's
a curious thing," he said the other day,
"the courtship of canaries, like human
beings in a way. I have a beautiful
ladybird singer, and a friend brought
me a fine, stalwart gentleman bird
from Germany the other day. I put the
two cages together, and you should
have seen the fun.
"The feminine vanity and toilet mak-
ingwas laughable. The young German,
too, primped himself up and was in fine
feather. Gradually they began to talk
about the weather, I suppose and, by
Jove! in less than an hour, when my
back was turned, I saw them in the
looking glass kissing each other. That's
a fact.
"The male canary always remembers
his mate and can tell her whistle in a
rocraful of birds. One little chap, who
was in a cage with six others, nearly
broke his wings to get out when he
heard- the chirp of his mate, whom I
had just broughtljack after a two weeks
absence in the country. When canaries
are hatching, the proud, prospective
papa takes his turn on the eggs and feeds
his mate very generously, sometimes
makins 35 trips to the seedbox, and
varryiug water in his bill. My salad bilT
in the summer is large. Lettuce or wa
tercress they need in the warm weather,
and a red pepper pod is a treat It's ex
cellent for their digestion. Xoung birds
like rolled cracker crumbs and hard
boiled eggs chopped and mixed." New
York Letter in Boston Advertiser.
The Latin word from which pagan is
derived originally meant a fountain or
spring ; then the village which sprang
P around-it, and finally the residents
in the village As Christianity took
strong root at first in the largo centers
of population and the worship of the
pagan deities lingered longest ha the
