(Contributed) Seville's Tower of Girald. From Its great antiquity nlono if from nothing else It Is plain that the Glrnlda ot Seville could not have been studied from the tower of the Madison Square Garden in Now York, which the American will recall when he sees it. If tho case must be reversed nnd we must allow that the Madison Square tower was studied from the Glrnlda, we must still roeognlz6 that It Is no servile copy, but In Its frnuk Imitation has a grace nnd beauty which achieve originality. Still, the Glrnlda Is always fhe Glrnlda, and. though there had been uo Saint Gnu dens to tip its summit with such n fly ing footed nymph ns poises on our tower, the figure of Faith which crowns It Is at least a good weather vano and from Its olllcc of turning gives the mighty bell tower its nnme. Long centuries before tho tower was a bel fry It served the mosque, which the cathedral now replaces, as a mlnnret for tho muezzin to call tho faithful to prayer, but it wns then only two-thirds as high. Harper's Magazine. i Cultured Hindus. In Bengal hero nro about 70,000. 000 of people, and they boast of perhaps the best culture In Indln at tho present time. Tho language as a written language is only fifty years old. Though for over n thousand years it has been a dialect, thero Is in Indian history unfortunately no tmco of Bengali having been nn important literary tongue. Tho language orig inates from Sanskrit, the mother tongue from which every other Indian language has borrowed Its alphabet, grammar and vocabulary: but, unlike the others. Bengali never shrinks from gathering new materials. There nro numerous Persian. French. Arn blc nnd English words Incorporated in it. und the fwondcr of it Is that. In stead of having been degraded Into somo vulgar form like pidgin Engilsl., Bengali hns become the most literary, scientific and perhaps the most phllo sophlc of modern Indian languages.

The history of tho piano counts ns a dny compared to tho harp. Wo have authentic records that as early as 1800 B. O. tho first lyro was evolved from tho mind of the high priest of Osiris, who In one of his dally walks along tho banks of the river Nile found an empty tortoise shell spanned with dried ligaments. Happening to strike It, lie noticed that It gave forth pleas lug sounds, and he nt once made an Instrument on tho plan of tho tortoise shell. From the lyre It wns but un easj step to tho harp, now the most famom Instrument in the world. Milesius, one of the Phoenician priests, carried it with him In his conquest to Ireland, and there lie planted it among the mu sic loving Celts in 1200 It. G. The royal Instrument became a controlling fea ture In druidlcal worship, and the harp ist or bard ranked with royalty, the prophet and the priest. The drulds advanced the harp from eleven to thir ty-two strings and crowned their ef forts in Its improvement by the evolu tion of tho pillar, which has ever since found universal adoption. Our modern harp consists of forty live or foity-hovt'ii strings, seven ped als ono for each note in tho octavo and tho wonderful Instrument shares with tho piano and organ the faculty of being autonomous that is to say, It jioeds no accompaniment and furnishes botli melody and harmony.
