On Color.

AS to the color sf this room, and the
color of the rooms and decorations gem
orally, find myself utterly at fault. /
could tell you the color like myself;
could perhaps, even go further, and say,
with little fear of contradiction, that
green and crimson and gold form a
beautiful form of color, or that black
and amber or that blue and grayish
green go well together, and still l
should tell you nothing, or 1T least
nothing worth the telling. For the
fact is that every really fine combina-
zion of color is dependent upon subtle
graGations of tint and arrangement,
which can only be felt, not expressed
in words, and the only way have ever
discovered of gaining notion of good
color is to seek it in lands where it is
understood. 1t will perhaps seem a
strange thing to many Of my readers
that should talk about color being un-
derstood, as if it were some branch of
knowledge, and they would perhaps
answer me with, ''Have we not good
artists, as good as any in the world at
present? And can they not tell US all
about color, and show US how to man
age it?" Well, this is exactly what
they can't do.
tits with eolorasitiswith anyotherform
of art that it can only be produced by
people who delight in it. Now, for
some years we have taken most of our.
combinations of color from France, and
slavishly followed whatever was the
prevailing fashion there, and the result
has been that the majority of dresses
and fashions have been made In neutral
hues, and people have cried out "what
an improvement, No more nasty
emerald green or sky blue, but soft
shades Of gray and brown and dull
green" But as a matter of fact, we
are really further off good color than
we were before, and we shall have to
retrace our steps before there is chance
of our obtaining it. Formerly, England
had, at all events, firmly grasped one
idea about colors, aud that was that
bright colors were the prettiest, and
best, somehow, and so it tried to have
as many OF these as possible. After all,
in the main, this was true idea-the
error was only in the deduction made
from it. Bright, pure eolors are the
best, really, and all real magnificence
of hue must be based upon them. L
could show, had | time, that the French
have really no idea of the true beauty
of color; what they understand is the
relative arrangement of tint, and all

The Border-Land of History.


There was once sceptical Inca of
Peru who permitted himself to dissent
from the faith that former Incas had
received without questioning or doubt.
His point of difficulty was the doctrine
of the omnipotence of his national sun
god. 1t was beyond his comprehension
to understood why the deity, if his will
were irresistible, should patiently en-
dure the toll and trouble of perpetual
locomotion. Modern mythologists, how
ever, impute to the sun functions that
were never expected of him before.
The story of his brief life, and of his
weary pilgrimage from the east to the
west till he sinks down, tired, to die, is
made TO supply the place of history, and
to cheat us of much that our childhood
had been taught to believe as truth.
Now, traditions, however venerable,
find no safeguard in their age and re-
spectability; while personages whom
our foolish fancy once invested with
substance and form are improved away
III an tIudiiN
The comparative mythoIogist is. indeed,
no respecter of persons. When the
pruning-knife is applied to such airy
nothings as the members of the Pam
theon of Greek or Roman Paganism,
we are obliged, however reluctantly, TO
cquiesce-though we cannot help con-
Tossing secret sympathy with the am
billions and the disappOtntments, with
the rivalries and the partialities, and,
above all, with the frail humanity of
these august beings-so much so that
sometimes, carried away by poetic
license, we are even inclined to condone
the haif-veiled improprieties of Olym-
plan Jove. But when we have yielded
so far, we think we have done enough.
When the spoiler comes nearer home
when he asks us to give up such familiar
favorites as Robin Rood or William Tell:
to believe that the fair Rosamond and
her lover, just as much as Cupid and
Psyche, Theseus and Ariadne, are only
beautiful expressions and different
phases of the evervarying phenomena
of nature-we are inclined to rebel at
being deprived of characters whom we
imagined really lived and loved and
died not so very long ago, and to fear
that at last we shall be required to dis
own the existence in the flesh of our
own ancestors and progenitors.
If Poetry in some cases throws too
ample fancy round the songs and
fables of the past, there are some tradi-
tons so universally accepted that We
cannot reject them if we would. For
instance, large part of the human race
cling obstinately and tenaciously to a
common idea on the origin of Mankind.
We have everywhere the same story,
made up of the same component parts,
varying only in some particulars. In

The Hunbus OfSnake Charming.

These professional alsnake-catchers are
ular vocation, most expert jugglers,
and exceedingly adroit at all kinds of
sleight-Of hand tricks. IL is their con-
slant practice to turn down few
tame snakes in a garden hedge, or
somewhere close in the vicinity of a
house they intend to pay a visit to,
where they present themselves before
the sahib, the owner of the premises:
and then, with every appearance of
good faith the rascals request permis-
sion to be allowed TO clear the place of
snakes: at the same time stimulating
10 IA reward, perhaps one rupees head
for every snake they succeed in CATCH
ing. If the gentleman of the house
should happen To be a new conner,
likely enough he will promise these
crafty rogues so much for each snake
they sHcceed in catching. Soon, to his
horror and amazement, hideous SER
pents of various dimensions are pro-
ducOd, one from the straw in an empty
stall in the stable, another from the
garden hedge, and so on; till at last.
perhaps, the fraud is carried too far and
discovered.
DIR. Fayres states that certain de-
scriptiOns of serpents-ehiefiy of the
genus RGta most undoubtedly are sus-
ceptible to, and in a manner become
factinated on hearing musical sounds.
Il have constantly seen." he says,
"tame snakes in the possession of snake
catchers, on hearing the souud of
pipe, erect themselves and sway their
heads from side to side, and beyond a
doubt show pleasure at the strain; but
have never once seen wild snake go
through the same performance; and |
believe that only tame reptile carried
about in baskets, and broken in for
such an exhibition so conduct them
selves. have repeatedly offered snake
charmers five rupees to bring out from
its sanctuary, by means of music,

invariably their efforts have been in

Furnishing Children.

Anna c. Brackett, in the American
Journal of Education, calls the atten-
ton of teachers TO the liability of chill
dren TO be punished or corrected with
out their clearly knowing why. ''They
may thus perhaps understand" she
adds, ''what often seems TO them so i'll
cOmprehensible-wh child who has
been rebuked for some disorderly con-
duet repeats the offense almost imme-
diately, giving the impression of will
full and malicious wrong-doing. The
same mistake is frequently made in
recitations. A pupils answer is pro-
nouneed wrong, and the question
passed to another, when he does not
know what his error is, and often fan
cies that it lies in quite a different di-
rection from that in which it really
lies. One of the most successful teach
ers we know is almost invariably i'm the
habit, after having passed a question
and received correct answer, Of ask
ing the. pupil who has failed: '.Whv
did | pass that question! \ few trials
of this simple interrogation will soon,
we think, convince any teacher of the
truth of what We say. The most as
tonishing misunderstanding are thus
brought to light. and we
become convinced of how double-edged
a thing is this language which we use
SO thoughtlesslv and freely"

His Idea of Music.

cornfield, likes music. / like it, even
though It is not very good. | am par

feriOr quality of music. l can lean
against post and listen TO hand organ
grind out few tunes, and occasionally
help encourage the artist by giving the
monkey penny. ! can follow band
round town and listens to its music,
and wish all the time that my ears were
as large as the Bibles that fond parents
give their children for wedding pres
ents. | can swallow a concert, digest
an opera, and bolt a good choir; but i
am free to confess that when put my
time against congregational singing in
church that always fear that my frame
will 20 to pieces before the services are
over. With all due respect and with

my fountain of pity just boils over on
Sunday, when think of what the Lord
has to endure. The human mind can
scarcely grasp the subject, but let us
try to get a vague idea of what it must
be to listen to all the dull sermons, and
second hand prayers, and broken
winded, used-up congregational sing
ing that must be listened to on Oh Sun
day, and then multiply that by fifty-two
and see where you and /, my friend,
would be at the end of one year. 1t
gives US about the best idea of the diff
erence between the finite and infinite
power of endurance of anything that |
know of.
What | know about music would not
fill two gallon jug. Music l consider
to be the science of tongues and sounds.
1t dates clear back to the creation. In
strumental music goes back TO the
fourth chapter of Gensis, where we
learn that Jubal was the father of harps
and organs. Some of his descendants
are now going around concerning,
under the name of Jubal-ee singers.

have turned black in the face.

4 Strange Bird story.

l.. Page and son. cutting wood near
San Jose, noticed for several days that
number of birds remained constantly
upon tree near to them. some gong
and coming from time to time. Upon
cutting down the tree they discovered
a limb with a hollow cavity some two
feet in length and three or four inches
in diameter, in which were two full
grown birds of some gOOdly- sized
species. There was a small aperture
through which the birds were supplied
with food from their mates. The limb
was cut and the birds liberated. They
were neither of them able to fly, having
evidently never been out of their i'm
prisOnment. How they came inside is
a question. 1t is probable that the
mother bird was small, and though
able to make her nest in the hollow of
the tree and rear her young. could not
extricate them, and they did not gain
strength enough to help themselves
until the hollow had 50 closed that
escape was impossible. Those who
examined the birds think they are
about two years old. They had been
fed from their birth by their bird-fel-
lows through the aperture in the limb
of the tree. A Dobler instance of devo-
ton even the human family never ex-
hibited.-Sdn Jose Mercury.
