Distrust of Private Asyiums.

There is a growing suspicion and dis
trust of private lunatic asylums in Eng
land. Hardly a case occurs involving
any question of detention in these
asylums in which circumstances inv w.
ing disagreeable possibilities do not CROP
up, filling the puolic mind with uneasi-
ness, while public institutions of the
kind seem quite free from them. Fre-
Quent efforts have been made to abolish
them, but thus far, without success. In
a recent parliamentary examination the
earl of Shaftesbury, chairman of the
commissioners in lunacy, stigmatized
them as ''abominable, vicious" lob
iectionable, 'intolerable," and "detes-
table" The London Lancet joins in the
demand for their abolition, and terms
them private prisons, which ought not
TO be allowed to exist. ..-.....

Training of Public singers.

DR.. Ziegfeld holds that abdom nal res
piratioh, that is diaphragmatic Lreath-
ing, is the best. Elongated palate and
double uvula have to be clipped to in
sure a good, clear tone, the latter being
also facilitated by taking slice off the
tonslls. Pupils should not begin too
young, but only after the voice is we'll
developed, the principal thing being to
keep the voice from harm. A study of
the physiology of the voice is deemed
unnecessary, as singing is an initiative
art and scientific knowledge does not
improve the tone.

The Eastern shore sinking.
Eastern Virginian.

This whole peninsula is slowly but
surely settling beneath the waves, and,
while of no vital concern to this or the
succeeding generation, yet, at its pres

Chesapeake and the boisterous Atlantic

Honest Norwegians.

To lock the door of house in Norway
and remain inside is deemed absurd.
AT theatres and other public PLACES
wraps are left outside without being
checked or even watched by an attend

honest that none are ever lest or stolen.

How the Arabs Make Coffee.

IIhcaSO IFihuhe
1t is said that the Arabs grind their
coffee as fine as -four, and boil il in q
copper saucepan without lid. They
would not on any account boil it in q
covered vessel, as that would prevent
the deleterious qualities from escaping
and make the coffee bitter.

Aud changing my life's angry torrent
To q soothing voluptuous dream.
She smiled, and the love that lay hidden
Far down in the depths Of her being,
Rose flashing before my dull vision,
Like goddess new born of the day.
And cast my old life far behind me-
With its vagrant fancies and idols,
And / made all things fair for her presence
And she made all things sweet for my sake
But she left me, and life is now over,
And long TO get rest from my sorrow,
A sweet, dreamless rest. and my pillow
Quite Close to her own meath the how3rs.
