A Silver Anniversary.

Yesterday afternoon, the 18th inst,
the Mason & Hamin Organ Company
celebrated by a dinner at Young's Hotel
the twenty-ffth anniversary of the COM
mencement of their business, which by
it's own merits has grown to large pro-
portions. At the start the capacity of
their works was two or three melodeons
per week, the best of which sold for
about one hundred dollars each; their
present capacity is over two hundred
cabinet organs per week, and they are
most of the time behind orders, while
their best productions now command
five hundred dollars each, and in excep-
tional cases several times this amount.
In numbering. their instruments they
have reached l04, 1000, having actually
made and sold nearly that number.
Organs of their make have. obtained an
extraordinary reputation all over the
world, and are sold in every civilized
country where the tariff is not so high as
to be prohibitory. Musicians recognize
in them a distinguished excellence in
quality of tone, the result, in large meas:
ure, perhaps, of peculiar skill in voicing
reeds, an art which originated with this
company. But in every respect it has
always been a principle with them to
make in each detail the best instrument
possible and to sell them as low as pos
sible. The skillful carrying out of this
policy has resulted in this great success.

Instinct or Reag0n.

A small English terrier belonging to a
friend lhas been taught to ring for the
servant. To test if the dog knew why it
rang the bell, he was told to do so while
the girl was in the room. The little
fellow looked up in the most intelligent
manner at the person giving the order
(his master or mistress, I forget which),
then at the servant, and refused'to obey,
although the order was repeated more
than once. The servant left the room,
and a few minutes afterward the dog
rang the bell Immediately on being told
to do so. 1 give the following as told
by my wife, now dead, who personally
witnessed the transaction on various oc-
casions. At her sisters house in Kent
a donkey which, when not employed by
the children, grazed in a field with some
COWS, was in the regular habit of acting
rs follows: At the usual hour for the
COWS to come home to be, MIXED the
donkey lifted the latch of the field gate
opened and held back the gate (Which
would otherwise have swung closs
again) till oil the COWS passed out, then
allowed the gate to shut, and went home
with the cows. Of course no one taught
the donkey to do this, but the quad
ruped gave the biped a practical
lesson, from which I am not aware
that they drew the abstract verbally for
mulated conclusion that reason may be
exercised without rhetoric.-Nature.

Summer Longings.
All my heart IS weary waiting,
Waiting for the May;

All my heart IS weary waiting,
Waiting for the May;
Waiting tor the pleasant nmbles,
Where the fragrant hawthorn bramblcs,
With the woodbine alternating,
Scent the dewy way.
Nh my heart is weary waiting,
Waiting for the May.
Nh my heart is sick with longing.
Longing for the May;
Longing /" escape from study
TO the Young face, fair and ruddy,
And the thousand charms belonging
TO the summers day.
All! My heart is sick with longing,
Longing for iee May.
All my heart is sore with signing,
Signing Tor the May;
Signing Tor the sure returning,
When the summer beams are burning.
Hopes and flowers that, dead or dying,
All the winter lay.
All. my Heart is sore with signing,
Signing for the May.
All my heart is panied with throbbins,
Throbbing for the May;
Ihrobbing for the seaside pillows.
Or the water-wooinS willows,
Where, in laughter or in sobbing,
Glide the streams away.
All my heart is panied with throbbinS'
ThruhDing Tor the May.
Waiting, sad, detected, weary,
Waiting for the May;
Spring goes by with wasted warnings,
Summer comes, yet dark and dreary,
Life still GIBBS away.
Man is ever weary, weary,
Waiting for the May!

American ~Sch00lma'ams.

A London correspondent of the Chi
cago Times writes: Curiously enough
the female school teachers of the United
States have been q subject of discussion
in the House of Commons. Mr.. Mum
della had referred favorably to them,
when Mr.. Mills INDUCED in a sheer and
doubted that the custom was n that
could be proftably followed in this coun-
try. Then up rose Mr.. Plunkett, a gal
liant Irishman, who said he had been to
the United States and there studied the
subject, and expressed his opinion that
cit would be a great benefit to this
country if we could import 200 OF. 300
of those American women teachers
Mr.. Maclaren also quoted the Bishop o
Manchester, who has declared also from
personal experience that their teaching
is generally "much better than given
in the schools of this country" You
lady tea cheers were thus eloquently and
successfully defended, but it was surely
an odd subject for discussion in the
British House of Commons.

How the Zulu Army is Raised.

A Natal (South Africa) correspondent
writes: 1t is ofinterest here to glance for
amoment at the Zulu army which Getty
wayo commands. The following is ex-
tracted from papers published by Lord
Chelmsford, for the information of those
under his command. The Zulu army
was then estimated at $4,000 men, but is
now probably very much greater: "The
method employed in recruiting its ranks
is rs follows: At short intervals, varying
from two to five years, all the young llen
who have during that time attained the
age Of fourteen or fifteen years, are form
into a regiment, which, after a years
PROBATION, during which they are sup
posed to pass from boyhood and its
duties to manhood, is placed at q mill
tary kraal or headquarters. In some
cases they are sent to IN already existing
kraal, which is the headquarters OF a
corps or regiment, of which they then
become part; in others, especially wiren
the young regiment is numerous, they
build q new military kraal. AS the
regiment grows old it generally has one
or more regiments embodied with it, so
that the young men may have the bene-
fit of their elders experience, and when
the latter gradually die out may take
their place and keep up the name and
prestige of their military kraal. In this
manner corps are formed, often many
thousand strong, such, for instance, as
the Undi. Under this system, then, the
Zulu army has gradually increased, until
at present it consists of twelve corps and
two regiments, each possessing its own
military kraal. The corps necessarily
contains men of all ages, some being
married and wearing the head-ring,
others unmarried, some being old men
scarcely able to walk, while Others are
hardly out of their teens. Indeed. live
of these corps arc now composed OF a
single regiment each, which has absorb
ed the original but practically n%on-exist-
ent regiment to WI 'ch it has been atlili-
ated. The chief distinction is between
married and unmarried men. No one in
Zululand. male or female, is permitted to
marry without the direct permission of
the king, and when he allows a regiment
to do so, which is not before the men are
forty years of age, they have to shave the
crown of the head and put q ring around
it, and then they become n Of the
white regiments, carrying white
shields, etc., in contradistinction to the
black or unmarried regiments, who
wear their hair naturally and have color
ed shields. The total number of regi-
ments in the Zulu army is thirty-three,
of whom eighteen are formed ofmen with
rings on their heads and fifteen of I'm
married men,"

Persian Ladies'.

The bath is the greatest pleasure and
luxury-we might just as well say neces-
sity of life-of the Persian women.
They spend a great part of their leisure
time there; indeed, the Eastern ladies
regard the use of the bath almost in the
light of q religious duty. The bath
room in Persia is the temple. the news
room, the drawing-room, the concert
room, the smoking-room-all in one.
The women make appointments to
meet there, and they tattle and gossip
away their sweet hours there, sometimes
spending eight hours at a time IN the
carpeted saloon attached to it-where, IN
the bath, they tell Stories, relate anec-
dotcs. eat sweetmeatS, smoke the narg-
hileh Tor pipe), and ,cmbellish their
beautiful forms with all the fancide
pcrfections of the E~ast-dyeing their hair
and eyebrows, and %curiously staining
their fair bodies with a variety of fan
tastic devices, not unfrcquently with the
figures of trees, birds and beasts, sum-,
moon and stars. on,
The day on which the ceremony Of the
bath rises into a high religious eXer-
else, according to the Persian women
is "the last Friday of the blessed month
If Rnmazan," when, according to their
special etiquette, they fought to dress
superbly, and perfume themselves anu
nut on t leir best ornaments. and 60 to

One night he and several friends set up
and watched. About ten o'clock they
saw the house-cat stcaltllily approach the
rim of the fountain and scratch in the
ground. The cat caught a worm, which
she moved around in the water for a few
minutes, then when the little fish would
rise and bite at the bait. the cat, with the
other paw, grabbed and ate them.
"Puss" was the "lone fisherman" of
the place. The above story is authentic,
yet it reads as if it was apocryphal. Here
is an important fact for scientists who
draw a distinction between i~nstincta an
reason.-Memphis Appeal.

Raining Trees.

At the Cape of Good Hope, near Table
mountain, the clouds come down very
low now and then without dropping in
rain. At such a time. if a traveller
should 60 under 4 tree for shelter from
the threatening storm, he would find
himself in a drenching shower, while out
in the open, away from any tree or
shrub, everything would be as dry as
a bone!
The cloud or mist is rather warmer
than the leaves, you see, and so when
it touches them, it changes into cling
ing drops, which look like dew. Fresh
drops keep forming; they run together;
and. at length. the water drips off the
leaves like rain. And this process goes
on until the clouds lift and the sun comes
out again.-&. Nicholas.

Diphtheria is prevailing to a remarka-
BILE extent all over the world. In this
country it has exhibited itself in mallg-
nant form north, south, east and west.
1t has shown itself in nearly every coun-
tryof Europe. and in Russia its ravages
have been more fatal even than the
plague. This disease, which rarely
occurs except as an epidemic, has only
been known in this country within tie

Stimulate the Sluggish Kidneys.

In addition to its tonic and cathartlc prop
critics, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters exercises a
beneficial influence upon the kidneys and
bladder, when they are inactive, by stimulat-
ing them to renewed exertion, thus reopening,
as it were, q sluice for the escape OF impurities
whose regular channel Of exit is the organs OF
urination. Among these are certain abnormal
and inflammatory elements, productive Of If
repamble injury to the system if not entirely
expelled. The kidneys and bladder themselves
are also benefited by this stimulus, as their
inactivity is usually a preliminary to their dis
ease and Reorganization. They also expert
ence, in common with other portions of the
system, the potent invigorative effects Of the
Bitters, which furthermore corrects disordered
conditions of the stomach, bowels and liver.
