A Clever Operation.

A curious occurrence has lately taken
place at the London (England) Gar
dens. One of the lions was observed
to be in state of great tribulation,
rolling about, and trying to get some
thing out of his mouth with his paws.
Upon examining the animal to see
what was the matter, Mr.. Bartlett
found that great bone had become a
fixture in the poor brute's mouth.
The difficulty was to remove it, as the
lion was in fearful temper. This was
done by getting the lion into a " shift
ing den," where his face would not be
very far from the bars. 1t was then
ascertained that the object in the Ii
on's mouth was the spongy, round
bone-as big as cricket ball-which
forms the hip-joint of the horse. The
lion had had part of haunch of horse
for dinner, and in amusing himself
with the bone first got his upper large
canine tooth into the soft part of the
bone, and biting on it, the correspond
ing canine tooth in the lower jaw came
through SO far into the bone that 1T
nearly met with the point of the upper
tooth; the jaw thus became fixed. The
animal was thus prevented from taking
food or water. Mr.. Bartlett, with a
great deal of tact and manGuvring,
managed to get this bone out of the
lions mouth, and luckily he did SO, as
it was found that the long projecting
portion of the bone was pressing hard
upon the lions tongue. This is the
third clever operation in dentistry that
Mr.. Bartlett has performed-f re-
moving big tooth from the hippopet
anus; second, operating on the base Of
the tusk of the big elephant; third,
taking horses leg bone out of the
lion's Is mouth.

Washington Society in 1925.

The circle of what was termed good
society" at Washington had been, and
was then. very limited in its extent and
simple in its habits. Few senators or
representatives brought their wives to
cheer their congressional labors, and
parlor of ordinary size would contain
all of those who were accustomed to
attend the social gatherings. A few
diplomats, with the officers OF the army
and navy stationed at headquarters,
were accompanied by their wives, and
there were generally few visitors OF
social distinction. The most friendly
and cordial intercourse prevailed, and
those who met at dinner parties and
evening entertainments were like mem
bers of one family in general sympathy.
The costume of the ladies WAS classic
in its scantiness, especially at balls and
parties. The fashionable ball dress
was of white India Grape. and five
breadths, each quarter of yard wide,
were all that was asked for to make
skirt, which only came down to the
ankles, and was elaborately trimmed
with dozen or more rows of narrow
founces. Silk or cotton stockings
were adorned with fancy embroidered
"clocks," and thin slippers were orna-
mented with silk rosettes and tiny
buckles.
Those gentlemen who dressed fash
ionably wore Bolivar" frock coats of
some gay-colored cloth, blue or green,
or claret, with large lapels and gilded
buttons. Their linen was rnHed, their
"Cossask trousers were volumlnous
in size, and were tucked into high
" Hessia -" boots with gold tassels.
They wore two and sometimes three
waistcoats each, of different colors. and
from their watch-pockets dangled a
ribbon with a bunch OF large seals.
When in full dress, gentlemen wore
dress coats with enormous collars and
short waists, well-stuffed white cam brio
cravats, small clothes, or tight-httlng
pantaloons, silk stockings and pumps.

Incident in the Life of Senator
Chandler.

Senator Zachariah Chandler was a
man whose independent manners and
roughness of language. under the irri-
tations and public excitements Of his
later life, led many, perhaps, to Judge
him uncharitably ly-though all confessed
his incorruptible integrity. Recently,
at meeting of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association of Manchester, N. H.,
Rev. DR.. G. W. Wallace related an in
stance illustrating his gentler qualities.
Long ago he was called upon to part
with brother who had studied for the
ministry, who went down by the hand
of consumption before he reached the
pulpit. A little while after, second
brother entered the same profession,
but the same disease came to him, and
he was obliged to leave for Cuba in
hopes of recovery, but instead of re-
covery, death came, and on its near
approach, he sent for his brother Zach
ariah to close his eyes.
He went, and was with him at his
death. In that country there was no op-
portunity OF holding Protestant burial
service, and the mourners were obliged
to take the body and steal out of the
room at night and dig grave. The
night was dark and rainy, and when the
hour came, they took the coffin and
carried it to the open grave. The late
Senator. as he afterwards said, " could
not bear to see the coffin of his beloved
brother buried without a prayer above
the grave" There was no minister
there, and he himself knelt in the rain
and mud, seeking the Divine blessing.
Never did he stand in relation so
honorable as when he stood by the open
grave Of his brother and sought the
blessing of Almighty God.

All AbOutLOVe.

Cynical people tell US that the days
of romance are gone by; that Augustus
no longer falls in love with beautiful,
though poor Araminta, but schools his
affections wisely, and looks about him
for rich wife. Well, it is true that
young people are not much given to
falling desperately IL love in these later
days. Culture seems to have the effect
of transforming the process of falling
into one of sliding. The amatory SEN
timent is allowed to develop itself very
slowly. It is commonly said that more
and more persons now marry for def
mite objects, such as wealth, social po
sition, or domestic adornment; yet the
normal mede of selection is still held
to include the play of an instructive
emotion as well. What the higher cnl-
ture seems to do, over and above
strengthening tie controlling power OF
will. is to make this emotion more re-
fective and self-conscious. People
learn to understand more clearly their
own feelings and tastes, and to know
better beforehand what kind of object
is likely to satisfy them. The emotion
al impulse now shows itself as con
scious wish to possess an object OF a
certain definite character. Still the
actual conception of strong affection
is process that goes on outside the
will, and while men and women are
young they must love perforce, even ii
their judgment does not always ap-
prove. SO that falling in love is not yet
obsolete.

Learning to Sing.

Let us consider for moment how
the case stands in regard to that small
fraction of mankind who attempt to
sing in some fashion or other. The
great majority of these never learn at
all they sing by the light OF nature.
using their voices in any way that will
produce the notes their ears guide them
to and, no doubt, with naturally good
voices and naturally good ears, music
may result which is quite tolerable.
Though infinitely inferior to what it
might be made. But many persons do
"learn to sing" and instruction of this
kind forms tolerably large profession
al avocation. What, then, does this
imply? In most cases, unfortunately,
little or nothing, so far as the true art
is concerned. # girl who finds she
can sing little asks for some lessons
from an ordinary teacher we know pretty
we'll what will be done there may be.
just as a matter of form, few exer-
cises given but the great ain will be
to teach her the notes of certain songs,
so as to provide her with small reper-
tory for social exhibition. This, how
ever, is rather teaching music than
singing, and the same may be said Of
the large number of classes for vocal
performance in parts, where nothing
is attempted beyond attention to the
pitch of the notes used, and the time
they are sung in. If we go little
further and include the cases where the
teachers endeavor to give their pupils
some idea of style, We about exhaust
the category of vocal instruction which
is common in private circles, and we
need not wonder at the fact that. to
educated judges. ordinary amateur sing
ing, when it IS not offensive, is, at all
events wretchedly poor. To learn to
sing, in the proper sense OF the word,
is quite differsnt thing from learning
songs; the voice is an instrument, the
capabilities of which, in many respects,
transcend those of anysother known,
and the cultivation of the voice, and of
the singers power over it, so as to use
it to the best advantage, requires not
only careful and judicious training.
but long, hard and laborious practice.
1t is. consequently, only among the
professional ranks that we are accus-
toned to expect thoroughly good sing
ing, and even here, whether from de-
ficient education, imperfect powers, or
defective taste, it is not often that what
we expect is really found.-Nature.
