In singing his own songs Moore al tered tne arrangement of the airs ant sung the first part of each verse t\vic < over at the beginning Instead of as i refrain at the end. In that glorlou : song of his , "Oh , the Light Entranc ing ! " Moore's own singing of it was a matchless treat "With head upraised he seemed almost to revel in the fresl morning light as he gazed on the "sight entrancing , " and his eye spar kled as "files arrayed with helm anc blade" seemed to pass before him , while a deeper feeling awoke as the passion of the song came upon him. Ills voice , one of infinite modulation , but of small compass , rose clear and thrilling to its highest pitch as he sang : Go ask yon despot whether His armed bands could bring such hands And hearts as ours together. His song was an inspired recitative , and he seemed to improvise as he ran his fingers over the notes , and as the tide of thought came over him it was poured forth in harmonious cadences of exquisite variety. Ilud he been tied to a chair , with the added doom of a prosy companion , he would have ex ploded and gone off like a rocket or a bottle of sparkling champagne. West minster Review. Mo or ! nil Slavery. It would do those good who write passionate articles on Moorish slavery to see the well fed , lazy slave of "Wazan lounging in the sun , kiff pipe in mouth and scarcely doing a stroke of work from week's end to week's end. The most ordinary English kitch- enmaid would accomplish in a couple of hours what a "Wazan slave does in a week. All are free to come and go as they please but none avails himself of this freedom. The reason is not far to seek. In Wazan they are fed and clothed by the shereefs and on holi days and feast days receive presents of money. Thus all the necessities of life are found them without their having to work for them , which otherwise they would be obliged to do. Nor is it only the necessities of life that are thus supplied to them free , but they are given each his room to live in and mai- ried at the expense of the shereefs to slave women. Their children , by law slaves , are not necessarily so and are often apprenticed to workmen to learn some trade or if theywish are free to seek their fortune in other lauds. Blackwood's Magazine. A Imclcy Escape. An elephant hunt on the Muar river is described in the Straits Times of Singapore. The beast turned hunter , and the man , fleeing , caught his foot in a rattan creeper and fell. He dis charged his rifle , however , and that fortunately frightened the animal away. The Times continues : "It is not every man "who has the good luck when pursued by an elephant to be crossing a swamp , so that when the animal has carefully kneaded his pros trate foe and passed along thinking him completely pulverized the said man should come up smiling behind the elephant none the worse for his massage treatment. This actually hap pened to a well known man in the Straits Settlements. " A Unique Home. In Sweden and Norway there are several homes for spinsters. One of these at least is as attractive as it Is unique. It is a monument to the mem ory of an exceedingly wealthy old man , who , dying more than 200 years ago , left the major part of his fortune to the old maids among his descend ants. A superb home was built , fur nished and managed by salaried trus tees. It flourished and has continued. Any unmarried woman who can prove blood relationship to the founder of the institution is entitled to admission to the home. She Is given a suit of rooms , a servant , private meals and is subject to no rules save such as ordi nary good behavior demands. Music's Potver. Grimes Yes , I'm fond of music. There's Tlnnerman , for instance- Brady You don't caflTflaJiornblow- ing music ? fc" * nm Grimes It has been very enjoyable to me. I got Tinnerman to keep at it night and day , and the result "was that I bought the house next door for a thousand dollars less than the man who lived in it asked a week or two before. Boston Transcript. TTTO Sinners. "It is very wrong to tell a fals ood , " said his mother to little Jimmie , who had caught him in one. "Then we're both offul sinners , ain't we , maw ? " queried Jimmie. "Both ! What do you mean ? " "Why , you told Missus Smith yester day that you hoped she'd call again , an' after she wuz gone you said you wished she'd never come again. " Ohio State Journal. & . Money Saver. "But you are taking considerable risk In letting your young men owe two or three weeks' board. " "Yes , there is some risk , " answered the boarding house keeper. "But then , you see , they worry over it so that they lose their appetites , so I save money in the long run. " Earned. She He wns desperately in love with her. Why , he sent her costly flowers and presents nearly every day for two years. He Did he finally win her ? She No ; he earned her. The Troth Too Much. "Jedge , " said the colored prisoner , "la I expected ter tell de truth ? " "Of course you are. " wWell , then , des go ahead en sentence Very Old Pronunciation * . h..v. iu-lc , " the pronunciation of lilac c..cv very common has now almost entirely passed away. It is hardly likely to be found in dictionaries or glossaries except such as profess to give provincial variations of spelling. Sixty years ago , however , it was by no means a provincialism or a mark of the uneducated. I well remember that Walter Savage Landor always spoke of "laylocks , " as did my own mother and most people of that generation. It belonged to the age , now almost en tirely passed awaj' , which called Home "Room , " gold "goold , " St. James "St Jeaines , " with other variations of sound now deemed vulgar. I have heard my father say that George IV. always spoke of "my loyal city of Lunnon , " while "obleeged" and "cow cumber" were heard from the most refined mouths. I can distinctly remember on the first Sunday in Advent , 1S23 , hearing the officiating clergyman at St. Mary Woolnoth give out sonorously when reading the first lesson "like a lodge in a garden of cowcumbcrs , " and my dear old rector , Julius Charles Haro , twenty years later adopted the same pronunciation , saj'ing at table , "Obleege by passing the cowcumber. " "Vilcts , " as a dissyllable for violets , was equally common among people of good education. Notes and Queries. Merely Symptoms. "Life is a failure , " said the tired looking passenger in a grave and far away voice. "Man is a fraud , woman a bore , happiness a delusion , friendship a humbug ; love is a disease , beauty a deception , marriage a mistake , a wife a trial , a child a nuisance ; good is merely hypocrisy ; evil is detection. The whole system of existence life , morality , society , humanity and all that is a hollow sham. Our boastrl wisdom is egotism ; generosity is im becility. There is nothing of any im portance but money. Money is every thing , and , after all , what is every thing ? Nothing. Ar-r-r-r-rl" "Glad to meet you , sir , " said the thin little man with the ginger lined whisk ers , extending his hand cordially to the speaker. "I have the dyspepsia pretty bad at times myself. " Chicago Journal. Australia's Stony Desert. The great stony desert of north Aus tralia was discovered by Captain Sturt , an Australian explorer , in 184o-4G. It is north of the river Darling and is about 300 miles long and 100 broad , consisting of sandy dunes or ridges. Its want of trees , except along the creeks , gives the country a sterile ap pearance. These ridges were probably formed by the joint effect of winds and a gradually "etiring sea. According to Captain Sturt , these waters were gradually lost by evapora tion or carried to some undiscovered sea. The only vegetation , growing scan tily , arc prickly acacias in full bloom , all of stunted growth. Water is scarce except in the creeks which are shelter ed , and this is generally brackish. Few travelers care to traverse this in hospitable desert. Polflonona "Wounds. Among all people the sucking of the wound has ever been considered the most effective remedy of immediate application for snake bites. In Africa a cupping instrument is employed in emergencies of the kind to draw out the poisoned blood. The ancients fol lowed the same methods , and when Cato made his famous expedition through the serpent infested African deserts he employed many savage snake charmers , called "psj'lli , " to fol low the army. They performed many mysterious rites over men who were bitten , but the efficacy of their treat ment appears to have consisted in suck ing the wounds. A Musical Beat. The Courrier de Paris relates that a party of men , sitting in front of a boulevard cafe , were recently ap proached by a man who had a clarinet in his hand and who said : "Gentlemen , excuse me. I have to make my living , but I suppose you would rather give me a sou not to hear me. " They took the hint. He repeated this perform ance several times "till one day one of the men Isaitt fiefelt like.hearing a tune and asked him to play. "I am sor ry , " said the man with the clarinet , "but I cannot play a note. " Pfot Work to Preach. A minister who used to preach In Soinerville had a little boy. A few days before his Anther left the city to go to his new parish one of his neigh-i bors said-to the little boy , "So your father is going to work in New Bed ford , is he ? " The little boy looked up , wondering. "Oh , no , " he said , "only preach. " Trained Motherhood. The Dead Sea. The daily average of 0,300,000 tons of water is received into the Dead sea from the Jordan. There is no outlet , and the level is kept down by evapora tion only , which is very rapid because of the intense heat , the dry atmosphere and the dry winds which are con stantly blowing down from the gorges between the mountains. Good Reason. "I wonder , " began the man with the1 investigating mania , "what makes ba bies cry ? " "Probably , " butted in the practical , follow , "contemplation of some of the things they're in danger of being like- when they grow up. " Baltimore News.

There were bed steads of : .labister , quilts of down and pilIowi-JisT.5 embroidered with silk and gold. TheChairs of state were covered with clo. : of gold ; the tables and cab inets wore of the most costly woods. Much of the splondid furniture was emblazoned with "my lord's arms. " Everywhere was impressed the car dinal's hat. The same magnificence ap peared in the decorations and orna ments of the chapel , but the forty-four gorgeous copes of one suit and the rest of the sacerdotal pomp displayed there were eclipsed by the majesty of Wol sey's secular equipment. The annual expenses of his household exceeded 30,000 , an immense sum for those days. His retinue of 500 persons , his kingly stud , his sumptuous open table , are mentioned in every history. When he rode to and from AVestmin- stcr in his character of lord chancellor , his mule was attended by a long train of nobles and knights on horseback ; his pursuivant , ushers and other offi cers led the way in rich liveries , while footmen with gilded poleaxes brought \ip the rear. The Mississippi 400,000 Years Aero. Did you ever figure on what was the probable condition of the great Mis sissippi river 10,000 , 100,000 or even 400,000 years ago ? Scientists suggest that the erosion of its bed was ac complished by a mighty cataract , which began far down the river , prob ably at the place where it then emp tied into the gulf , and by gradual re trogression dug out the valleylike gorge through which it now flows. That this theory is tenable may be in ferred from the high , wall-like bluffs , features so characteristic of the upper part of its course. A wearing away of a monster cata ract would of course necessarily leave high walls or bluffs on either side. These are the well known features of the father of meandering streams. It would seem , according to this theory , that St. Anthony's falls constitute the remnant of what was once the most stupendous cataract in the world. Ge ologists estimate that it has taken the river 400,000 years to carve out the mighty ditch through which it now flows. Bones For Bread. There is an interesting child's story called "Jack the Giant Killer , " in which one of the giants is supposed to use the expression "fe-faw-fum , " or something like it , when Jack has climb ed a beanstalk and been hidden by the giant's wife , the rest of the growl be ing , "I smell the blood of an English man , but be he alive or be he dead I'll take his bones to make my bread. " Possibly it has not occurred to many to ask where the idea of making bread out of bones originated , as we do not often seriously investigate fairy tales. It is a historical fact that during the siege of Paris by Henry IV. , owing to famine , bread , which had been sold while any remained for more than $1 a pound , was made from the bones in the eharnel house of the Holy Inno cents. This occurred in 1394. New York Press. Napoleon III. and His Cigarettes. The most obstinate of cigarette smokers was the Emperor Napoleon III. It is an error to suppose that he was ambitious. A fatalist , he fol lowed a plan which he imagined had been traced in advance. At Sedan , when the end came , he calmly lit a cigarette. Hugo's epic anger against him had a large element of irritation at the man's supreme calmness. Hugo was not a cigarette smoker. He never understood , he could not understand , him. Zola , who was a cigarette smoker and who ceased in order that he might become a great workman , understood and described Napoleon III. in "La Debacle" perfectly. Usual Rcsnlt. Mrs. G abb Dear me !
