" • J C8T outside the prison walls at Agra is a tank of water in which area large namber of fresh water tortlea. This prison is also the roosting place of a grsst namber of bine pigeons. These pigeons most drink at the tank, but every attempt incara the risk of losing their head, for the turtles he in wait just under the surfboe of the wator, and at ita edge. Many headless bodies have been picked op near the water, showing the fato ol some of them. Animatsd shotguns are a favonrite pet fish of the Chinese. They look very mnch like perch, only more beautiful. They are of a greenish colour above and silrer.gray be- low. Across the back are four short dark- brown stripes shaded with green. As they flash through the water they are a series of lovely and ever changing hnes. The Chin- ese keep them in jars as we do gold fish It is said that their aim is so sccuratathat they can biing down an insect from the height of three or four feet above the water. A dritir on one of the Fourteenth street, Washington, cars is strongly of the opinion that horses count Each car, he says, makee nineteen tripe a day. There are four horses nsed, ihree making five tripe snd one four trips. After theee stated tripa, if for any reason it is necessary to senid the car back, it is almost impossible to get the horse ont of the stable. With the drivers and stablemen, who frequently witness such ex- hibitiuna, there is a firm behef of the mathe- matical abUities of the horse. tenW fnm kia T«t, bat tka\Mi natflthadogfaaaAit; BALra waa a laf hilMUha totta Bad laea laa.

A Sunday school teacher was eximining her class on tbe parable of the wheat and teres. " And what is a tore " she asked impressively.

The btory of ttie Shoe. The modem shoe has been evolved by a succession of slight mo.iilications snd eu- largemente out of a very simple primitive covering. In tbe ages of stone and bronze, man appears to have protected his foot by a piece of bark or leather laid under the sole and fastened in a very simple manner about tbe foot with straps. Oat of this grew che sandal with ite broader and more elabirate bands, reaching above ths ankles, such as we see it represented in tbe art of ancient Egypt and later. From the sandal, again, was developed, by the sddition of a fine leather below the straps, ss well as the broadening of the straps, the germ of the shoe proper, an arrangement ilmstrated by the Greek halt-boot. The completion of this process of development was the doing away with the band, and the making of the upper leather firmer. had haPaat hapfined baaa la • A HaU Tahitian Beauty.

No flattery is too plainly expressed for them. One young lady, the daughter of an American trader and a Ta- hitian chiefess, I particularly remember. She waa very tall, with a figure absolntr-ly perfect, and a face that wonUl jnst fy a dream of Semiramis. A young EngUsh officer was " trotting her out' for the amusement of his comrades. When he told her that she should go to Paris, where her beauty would creato a furore, she was greatly delighted but she replied with a laugh " But yon know I am a Tahitian, and very proud of it. If I went to Paris I should want to eat raw fish, as we do here." This was quite un- true, but tbe answer was very characteristic of Tahitian half.«aste8. Uousehold Aaomments. These pleasing preparations for household adornment may be made as follows There is a slow and quick method the former is by procuring tbe natural decomposition of the pulpy substence of tbe leaf by exposure to light in a dish ef water, the quick method is by the use of a weak alkaline destructive solution, of which soda and lime are tbe active agents. By the slow methoe one may proceed as follows The leaves are laid out smoothly in a pan or diah, and covered with rain-water to or three inches deep, and are held down by means of shsete of glass resting on small stonee at the comers by which they are prevented from pressing too closely on tbe leaves. They are exposed to the sunlight in a warm window. In two or three weeks they are examined, and all those thst have biecome soft and pnlpy are removed to another dish to be cleaned. The rest are left until they, too, become soft. The softened leavee are carefully removed one by one by being floated on to a small sheet of glass tbe pulp is pressed ont by means of a small stiff painter's bsnsh or m tooth-brush, used by tapping op and down and not by a sweeping motion. This breaks np the pulp only, which is washed away by pouring water apon it from a small pitoher. To make this convenient, the glass may be placed on two wooden bars resting on the (dgee of a deep dish with a towel under it to oateh the splashings. The quick method is as follows Four ounces et sal-s^da are dissolved in a quart of hot water, two ounces of qaiokliate ire added, snd tbe whole boiled for 20 minutes. The solution is cooled and strained. The leavee are then boiled in this for one hour, or until the pulp is essily re- moved, when it is washed off ss already mentieiied. Tbe fibres remain, leaving a pnfect skeleton or fraiiie.work of the leaf. This is bUaohed by expoaare to a eolation of one tablespoonfal of cblonde of lime in a quart of water, strained clear from sediment. 'The skelelone are placed in a dish, covered wiUi thia solatioa, and kept in a dark cloaet for two daya, watching in the meantime that the fibres are not softened too much and thus injured. After bleaching, the leavee are steeped in clear soft water for a day, and then flotftad off npon a card and placed be- tween soft napkins until drv.

MiBtokM iB Taa^iaff Mnaie. At a laoeat eoeial eoienee in Bdiburgh Sig. Alberto Baoh read a paper on impruve- manta in mnaieil education. In the teach- ing of sii^^ing, he said, the first iojary to the taste of the people is done in the ele- mentaiy elaaeee. Tbe " ouisons" seream- ing in schools is miaoaa to the delicate inatinoto of the young. I dividual treat- ment and correct classification of voice* ought to be adopted, with the compass of exercises snd son|cacoufinei to one octave. Afterward a gradual development of the aenae of harmony will be requisite. In so- called choral unisons the oniin^ry abusee were the receiving of all oofners without re- gard to btoeas or expeneBce,tbe endeavour of the weaker voicee to cope with the stronger nnes, and the conseqaent ruin of valuable voices. In former times, whiui there were not so many asaooiatioiis, thrre were more good smgers, because voices were then thoroughly trained lor the services of the church and by accomplished singers. Only ariiaU can educate artirU, as the history ef music abundantly proves. Singers who have a high reputation aa opera and concert singers would be well qualified to teach, even though their voices were faiUng, provided they were cultivated in the asthetics aud philosophy of their art The imperfect taste of tbe public is the result of mediocre and bad, inartistic compositions 'and per- fornuoiceB, for which both txecutante and professors of the art are to blame. I'he art itaelf is losing by the superficialitv of this general masic-making. To the artists them- selvee the most modern so-called " drama- tic" style of singing the high keys with overpowering instrumentation is doing the greatest harm. The art of singing is liable to be injured by this modern tendency to extravagent instinmentetioc, physical pow- er being substitated for srtistic retirement. Ia seeking for remedies agaiust the deterior- ation of the art, these must be found in the mode of teaching. Toe true teacher must make special study of the form ition of the voice, and for this and other ends of musical culture the establishment of con»ervatorie« or academies of music is a (le«iileratnm. The freedom with which any one is allowed to teach, irrespective of qaaliticatioo, might be cjunterscted by some provision by tbe state or otherwise for the .appointment of competent profcisors of art.
