Musical England.
Cct,.a, p...

England, as a whole, has one very
strong and one very weak point in her
musical position. Her strength lies
in the wealth of choral societies; her
weakness in the dearth OF provincial
orchestras. 1t may be that the very
excellence Of the choral singing is the
canse of this dearth of orchestras, by
reason of the combination of the great.
est possible pleasure with the least
possible trouble which is afforded by
singing in "a chorus. but certain it is,
whatever the cause may be, that there
is with Us an almost total absence Of
local orchestras IN the provinces.
With the exception Of London end
Manchester, there are none Of the first
rank. Bristol, where Mr.. Risely has
been making q determined effort for
the cause, draws its orchestra partly
from London and from Birmingham.
Liverpool, with many orchestral play
ers OF its own, has still to draw on
Manchester for many players. Biz
mingham is developing an orchestra,
aud an effort has also been made in
Cork and Dublin. But what of the
other great towns2 Glasgow imports
an entire London orchestra, headed
by London conductor, for its choral
union concerts. Edinburg utilities the
same imported band on evenings when
they are disengaged at Glasgow. New
castle, where an effort was made by
Mr.. Rea, appears to have dropped the
experiment. Leeds, Hull, Halifax,
Plymouth, Norwich and a dozen
other large towns which might be
named, boast no orchestra whatever.
This weakness, then, exists, and
its baueful results upon the mus
ical development of the country
can scarcely be doubted; orchestral
music being absent, one of the chief
instigations to musical invention is
absent, too, and a large and healthy
increase Of English composers is not
to be expected. The question, there.
fore, arises how to make good the
deficiency. One method seems at
once to recommend itself, which, if
properly handled, might be the fore
runner of a new system in the
country. We possess in every
cathedral in England a small mu.
steal school, which is at present re
stricted to one department Of the art
only, that of singing sacred music,
with occasional organ tuition to q
promising pupil among the choristers.
In addition to this school there is
usually choral society of the district,
which divides its interests between
sacred and secular music. Here, then,
is an untried field for orchestral tut
ton, which, apart from the improve
ment in musicianship which study
of instrumental music is sure to intro
duce, will be valuable investment of
the choristers' time, in view of the
return from professional services which
they will receive when employed in
the orchestra of the town or district
in which they live.

Manners and Customs Of the
Last Century,
]. B. MeMasters Histor,

j. Is. MeMasters History.
A Philadelphia gentleman Of the
last century, if he were a gentleman Of
fashion or of means, wore a three
cornered hat heavily laced. His hair
was done up in a queue, and its natur
al shade concealed by profusion OF
powder. His coat was light colored,
with diminutive cape, marvelously
long back, and silver buttons engraved
with the letters of his name. His
small clothes came scarcely to his
knees; his long stockings we're striped,
his shoes pointed and adorned with
huge buckles; his vest and flap peck.
cts, his cuffs we're loaded with lead.
When he bowed to the
damsels that passed him he took hall
the sidewalk as he fourisAed his cane
and gcraped his foot. The historian
proceeds to convince us that the dress
Of the lady, as she gravely returned his
salutation and courtesied nearly to the
earth, would seem no less strange to
US. Those were the days of gorgeous
brocades and taffetas, luxurisntly dis
played over cumbrOus hoops, which,
fattened before and behind, stood out
for two feet on each side; of tower.
built hats, adorned with long feath.
ers; Of calash and muskmelon bon.
nets; of high wooden heels fancifully
cut; of gowns without fronts; of fine
satin petticoats, and Of implanted
teeth" 1t appears that in 1884 that
curious custom OF transferring teeth
from one woman's jaw to another's
had been lately introduced in Phila.
delphia. In an advertisement yet ex.
tant one La Mayeur announces to his
fair but presumably mature patrons
that his business is to transplant
teeth, and that he has within the SIX
months just preceding successfully
transplanted 123; and he assures
those having front teeth for sale tina
he will give two guineas for ever
sound one brought to him.

THE leading topic of the newspapers,
magazines and reviews Of the country
just now is new doctrine denying
the right to private ownership Of
land, which had its origin in Ger
many, and has spread with startling
rapidity over the whole civilized
world, everywhere making converts
among the profoundest and most adj
vanced thinkers Of the present time.
A book called Progress and Power
ty," by Mr.. Henry George,
the American exponent Of
this radical doctrine, has gone
through ten editions aud has been
translated into five languages. In
this city, as elsewhere, the sale Of the
book has been almost unprecedented.
1t is work of singular power, won'
derful if no other reason than that

tipn of a thrilling romance. His elo-
quence is at times sublime, his rea
soning always lucid. His plea is, not
for new deal of all this world s
goods, as the communists would have
it, but simply for equal rights
to partake of the banquet
which nature has set out
fer man. He eees no reason why the
few should own all the land while the
many are tenants, paying man for the
privilege OF drawing from the bosom
of Mother Earth the nourishment
God intended for all his children
alike. His theory is broad, seemingly
simple and very plausible, and must
make anindellible impression upon all
who pick up the book; for, to take it
up IS to read every line. his remedy
is plain one. The end he has In
view, he thinks, can be reached
without too great a shock
to existing institutions, by making
land pay all the taxes. As all mate
rial for whatever purpose must have
originally been drawn from the soil,
it would be a check upon industry
and production to tax anything except
the bare land. If this theory is cor
rect and could be realized, the Wild
est Utopian dream would be fulfilled.
Want aud the fear of want would
vanish; the pangs Of hunger and the
moaus Of the starveling would be
hushed; the squalid abode of poverty
and the gaunt specter of despair
would fade; peace and good will Oh
earth would reign and the acme OIL
progress would be reached.

that the use and enjoyment of house
with windows overlooking a neigh-

certain period, to right to the light

the law will not allow buildings to be
erected to hight which will

relaxed recently by some Judges, and
especially by the late Sir George Jes-

Still the old common law maxim holds

Lustra painting in combination
with embroidery is an adoption of the
prin ,iples of etching embroidery
which is now being revived. Etching
embroidery is remarkably effective,
and not at all difficult of execution.
To work: Stretch on an embroidery
frame some good white or cream
colored silk, and pencil upon this the
chief outlines of landscape epgrav-
ing with prominent objects or figures.
Take sable brush and form the sky
by washing in sepia for the darker
I arts, leaving the surface of the silk
untouched for the white clouds,
and then color the rest of the
picture with washes of sepia in shades
corresponding with those of the en-
craving. Thread the needle with fine
black silk and commence to cover the
painting. Leave unworked all light
parts, such as the sky; work the me-
dunn tints with rich hues of black silk
a short distance apart, and work the
darkest shades in fat satin stitch very
close together. Graduate between the
medium and deepest tints with sepa-
rate satin stitches; commence them
close together and end them more
apart.
A rasene embroidery is a novel
method of raised work in variation
of chenille embroidery. The mate
rial required are arasene, either of
wool or elk, largeseyed needles, can
vas, velvet, silk and serge,
and it is suitable for curtain
borders, mantle borders, parasol GOV.
ers, and other objects where the pile
on the arasene is not liable to be ins
jured by friction. In working with
arasene it is necessary to stretch the
material on frame, and the arasene is
applied as in canvas work stitch. The
large pointed needle is required to
draw the arasene backward or forward
through the material without twisting
it. The chief part of tho design
should be done with arasene, the silk
being used for the brighter lights.
Some workers prefer to treat
the arasene as chenille, and lay
it along the surface, catching it down
as in COUGHING, but the few shades that
it is possible to employ in this manner
detract from the beauty of the work.
Arasene can be worked upon canvas
or serge without a frame; the material
must be held in the hand, a large eyed
needle used, and the work executed in
crewel or stem stitch. Great care is
needed in passing the arasene through
the material, so that it will be with
the pile upward, and not show the
woven center line from which the soft
edges proceed. Broad and velvety
effects are obtainable in arasene en-
broidery, and it is very useful in art
work, as SO much individual expires.
