These were twins-the President de Banque

All children can learn to sing, If tfey coin.
merce In season. In Germany, every child
is taught to Use lie voice while young. In
their schools; all join In singing exercises, as
much as they attend to the study of geogra-

confined to the choir, that SIS apart from the

VIOLENCE AT THE PoLLs.-The scenes of
bloodshed at the polls of some of our princi.
pal cities in the late election were most dis
graceful to people whose daily boast is their
perfect capacity for selfgovernment. The
slaughter in Baltimore was equal to some Of
the pitched battles in the Mexican war and
more destructive than any battle that has nc
cured in Kansas. In New York, the Recor.
der says in his charge to the Grand Jury, that
"though blood ran freely in many wards OF
the city, and though men now lie ut the point
of death from the wounds received on the
day of election, scarce one of the offenders
against the law has been arrested by the
police"
Shameful! Monarchists point to such
scenes, and reconcile their subjects to the
strong government which secures life proper.

TRAPPING House ASTs.-Take large
sponge and wash II well, and after it is dry
lay it near any spot frequented by ants, and
sprinkle fine white sugar over it. In a short
time the meshes will be nearly filled with the
minute insects, which can then be destroyed
by dipping the sponge in hot water, and after
washing and drying, II may be replaced again.
Thousands are often destroyed at u time, and
by repeating the process the locality will soon
be freed from them,
