Whoever wishes to learn the song of the
nightingale can find it in the latest number
of the English Magazine Belgravia, where it
is represented thus:
Zozozozozozozozozozozo-z hading

Apparently the nightingale sings in the
Russian tongue.
GA Reader wishes to know the author
of ''If ignorance is bliss it's folly to be wise'
The sentiment is to be found in the tenth
stanza of Gray's son a Distant Prospect of
Eaton College" The stanza is this:
Yet, ah! why should they know their fate,
Since sorrow never comes too late,
And happiness too swiftly flies?
Thought would destroy their paradise
No more where ignorance is bliss
lis folly to be wise.
Bartlett's Dictionary of Familiar Quota
tions gives the stanza with these annotations:
From ignorance our comforts flow,
The only wretched are the WISE
He that increaseth knowledge increaseth sor-
row.-EccleSiaStes, rs.

Illustration of the absurdity of familiar
term and offers plausible suggestion as to
its origin ''Blue blood'' would seem to be
a poor article, considered from a hygienic
standpoint:
curious example of the absurdity of folk
lore, is an expression which we often use to in
dicate one of the attributes of aristocracy
There is nothing that finds such familiar
reverberation in the public mind conveying so
accurately definite condition, as the sugges-
tion that our friend residing in the mansion on
the avenue belongs to "blue-blooded" race.
Instantly we all accept the phrase as well chos-
en-, and mentally conclude that the party under
consideration hangs his family hat on the gem
ealogical peg of the cadet branch of titled
house. A secondary thought reveals the falsi-
ty of the description. We all know that the
blue blood is the venous portion of our circu-
lating fluid, and as such represents the refuse
and discarded elements OF our body that have
been collected on the route to the lungs. The
blue blood is the carbonized, non-aerated part
of the vital fluid, loaded with systemic impuri-
ties, which is on its journey to the pulmonary
laundry for an oxygen bath. So when we tack
upon our aristocratic friend the questionable
heritage Of "blue blood" we only call atten-
ton to plebeian condition of his economy that
refers rather to an inferior origin than his re-
puted high birth.
The expression probably arose centuries ago
when the social conditions of the people were
characterized by noticeable lines of demarca-
ton. The serving classes, Injured to manual
labor, were possessed of a rough hard, and
bronzed skin, as the legitimate result of toll.
The landed proprietor and conference.-the me-
dieval bondholder-wh principal occupa-
ton was idleness, had the fair complexion and
