SINGING.

Singing may be defined to be the de-
livery or the sounding of musical notes
with the voice in eonjun "tion with words
not syllables without meaning, but words
which clothe ideas conceived and senti-
ments felt Nothing less is singing. The
utterance of unconceived ideas aud unfelt
sentiments, however nusically good the
utterance, does not constitute singing.
Three things, therefore, are included;
musical correctness Of tone, an intelligent
delivery OF words, and an expression of
feeling. Voice, mind, and heart are
needed. Each of these requires culture.
The last two display themselves in the
words sung; the first, voice, should exhibit
its own training and the cultivated mind
and heart of the singer Thus between the
tone of the voice and the words uttered
there ought to he sympathy. The words
convey meaning; 80 should the tones.
The ideas and the sentiments ought to be
expressed by the tones, even as they are
by the words. But as music does not
speak with the same unmistakable voice as
ordinary language, it gives but a very in
definite idea of the meaning intended to be
conveyed. For this reason words are set
to melodies, and sentimental verses have
melodies set to them, and these melodies
ought to help to enforce the character Of
the poetry. In this way we get song.
Song, then, is composed of verse and mu-
sic. Each reflects the other. The two
should wed from affection and sympathy,
and ought not to illustrate marriage Of
cOnueaance, as the French would say

What the .a-N of England was 200
years ago has been painted in few graphic
touches by Lord Macaulay in his celebrated
third chapter. Most of the country being
still uninclosed, many animals which are
now rare roamed in abundance. Red deer
in England now found wild only on Ex-
moor were then frequently seen in differ
ent southern countries. "On one occasion
Queen Anne travelling to Portsmouth saw
h~rd of no less than 800" Foxes abound
ed everywhere. The wild bull was known
iu few forests south of Chillingham,
though now only found at Lyme Park and
Charley. "The badger made his dark
and tortuous holes on the side of every hill
where the copse-wood grew thick. The
wild cats were frequently heard by night
wailing round the lodges of the rangers of
WhittleEury and Needwood. The yellow
breasted niarten was still pursued in Gran
bourne Chase for his fur, reputed inferior
only to that of the sable" Just as drain
age has banished the vast hocks of wild
fowl which every winter used to be seen in
the East Anglian fens, so has inclosure
been a chief agent in extirpating these
once common creatures. So late as 1907 a
herd of about 1000 red deer roamed
through Yorkshire. 1t was much dimin-
ished, however, by the depredations of the
Borderers. When Henry, Prince Of Wales,
visited that country in 1909, he was
entertained at Streethorpe, on the side of
Hatfield Chase, toward Doncaster; and
after one day spent in plain stag-hunt,
was next amused by Mr.. Portington, the
Chief Regarder of Thorne, with spectacle
which recalls recent hunting displays Of
Jung Bahadoor for the delectation of the
Prince of Wales in Nepaul. Prince Henry
and his retinue embarked at Tudworth,
their hosts residence in about 100 boats
which had been provided for the purpose,
and having driven some 500 deer out of
the woods and adjacent grounds, which
had previously been collected there by the
keepers, the creatures took to the water.
The royal party pursuing with their little
navy, drove them into the lower part Of
the levels, known as Thorne Mere, where,
being up to their necks in water, their
horned heads being raised seemed to
represent little wood" Some were then
killed in the water; others, with ropes
thrown round their horns were dragged to
land and slain. The Prince dined that
day with the Regarder, "and was very
merry and Well pleased at his days work
At present all English animals larger than
the rat, if not specially protected, are year
by year becoming scarcer among us. A
man of 80 may see change in their
numbers during his lifetime by rejecting
how they have decreased since his boy
hood. .-Iraser's Magasine.

THE UNI BIs ELLA

Recent discoveries prove that the UNI
brella was used as a sunshade by the Assyr-
ians thousands of years before the Chris
tian era The use of parapluies (from
parer, to ward off, and pluie, rain), is mere
modern. Daniel Defoe alludes in 'Robin-
son Crusoe" to their use in the Brazils,
but it was not until 1852 that one appeared
upon the streets of London, although at
that date they had become quite common
in Paris. The first parapluis was used in
Edinburgh by John Jameson in 17Sl. aud

A NEW BEVERAGE.

Brazil has made liberal appropriation
for the introduction to the people of Eu-
rope of sterva-mate, an article largely cul-
tiyated in Parana and used in South Amer
lea to produce. a popular beverage, but as
yet unknown abroad. Mr.. O'Couor, of the
British legation, says it will be a capital
substitute for the far more expensive and
too often adulterated ten and coffee, being
more fortifying and alilnentary, and much
more wholesome, and al article that can
be sold at price so moderate as TO place it
within the reach of all elassoa

HE WAS CORRECT.

"Broke down, did you ?" queried
Gratiot avenue matchmaker recently, as
farmers team hitched to the front
wheels of wagon halted at his door.
Mashed by the cars" was the brief
reply.
Train struck you, eh?"
"WeL kinder / had on load of
fence-p poets, and when l reached the cross
ing the train was right at hand. put the
whip on to Sarah, and give Bill yank
on the lines, and then L fggered on my
chances. I'm whole four-hoss team on
mental arithmetic, am, and I want q
minute calkelating that tLat air locomo-
tive would strike the off hind wheel of my
wagon. Bill reared up, Sarah SHE'D, and
the engine footed over four hnndred times
a minute, but 1 had them lsggerE right
fine"
1.-THE engine ran into your wagon, did
it ?"
"Of course it did-struck that hind
wheel exactly as I calkelated, lifted me
just as high as I calkelated, landed them
horses and fence-posts where I calke-
lated, and now calkelate that you want
about 500 to repair the busts on this We.
hicle !"
He was right on that, too. Nothing
like arithmetic. Press.

is SILVER A FAILURE!

The opponents of the reconciliation
of silver sturdily maintain that our coin
age of that metal under the act of re-
monetization has proved failure. They
arrogantly assert that, as money, silver
has not been and can not be put into
common circulation as part of the cur
rency of the country. They proclaim
that the silver dollar is "a dollar worth
but 80 cents" So says the N. Y. Times
Of July 9th; and that consequently our
silver dollar "holds a subsidiary place"
Now, we have the audacity to say to
the Times that every one of those state
nents is untrue. Writers and speakers
Of that ilk scornfully ask, "Where are
those millions of silver dollars that you
mfationists out West were going to put
into circulation" This question is un-
derstood to imply a complete failure of
khe doctrine of reconciliation. But it
manifests only the Stiffness of those su-
perfcial minds from which it proceeds.
When silver was restored to its former
position as the equivalent of gold in It's
quality as legal tender, no man ever
pretended that it would be put into COM
mon circulation so long as resumption of
rpecie payments had not arrived. Those
arrogant questioners should consider that
gold was just as much withdrawn or
withheld from circulation as silver was,
and precisely for the same reason, viz:
that, until resumption should come,
neither coinage was required for the
currency of the country. Either would
be acceptable, but neither was demand
able. Consequently both remain in re-
Ierye awaiting resumption.
The assertion that the silver dollar is
Sninety cent dollar" is equally false. The
silver dollar will buy just as much of
any commodity, or pay just as much of
any debt, as gold dollar will. There is
no discount in any trade or transaction
on the silver dollar as compared with
any other dollar of 100 cents value. To
call it "a ninety cent dollar" is therefore
sheer nonsense as well as falsehood.
And yet those "wise men of the East"
are guilty of uttering both. We speak
thus plainly because one becomes impa-
tient of such persistent disregard Of both
facts and common sense.
Those opponents of our silver also taunt
US with what they call the difficulty"
attending the "ehorts" of the Treasury
Department to induce the banks to re-
ceive silver coin for use at their counters.
We are not aware that any "eforts" have
been made in that direction. Offers have
been made, and in most instances ac-
cepted, of greater or less amounts, as a
preliminary step to resumption. But
until resumption actually comes, what
do banks want with either silver or gold

The argument in favor of i5ayler for
Congress is that he may be elected
Speaker of the House, and that it would
be great thing for Cincinnati to have a
Speaker. Didn't Sayler have a pretty
fair chance for Speaker the last time,
and wasn't it frustrated by Banning's
going back on him and voting for Ran
dali? Now what is the use of sending
sayler to Congress to be made Speaker
and sending Banning to help break up
the same undertaking? Thinking it
Dver calmly, it rlay occur to the average
intellect that the arguments do not

THE New York Sun, whose editor has
had great experience in public affairs
thinks there is no particular reason for
re-electing a man to Congress because he
has been elected once. 1t adds: "On
general principles, he may just as we'll
stand aside and let some one else 60"
But when he has been reelected two or
three times, and has shown no especial
fitness for the place, he ought to be kept
