MUSIC-B
They Can Be Had in All Shapes and at All
 Prices.


 Prices.
 "The sale of musical boxes is very good" said an importer to reporter recently. "The trade is very steady one, and does not fuctuate much. Musical boxes are popular with every body and every body almost has one in some shape or other" :"
 ''Are they very eXpensivep"
 "We keep them in prices varying from fifty cents to three thousand dol lars. The fifty-cent ones are very small and play just one tune by turn small money safes that play tune when coin is droppedin. The small est ones that are worked with spring are worth five dollars. They play two tunes Then we have musical snuff boxes that play when a person opens them to take pinch of snuff, musical albums that will render some popular airs while the pretty pictures are being gaZed upon, musical decanters, water pitchers, cig Ear boxes, bird cages and cabinets.
 (Which are the three thousand dol lar boxes?"
 ''It is large, handsomely carved ebony or mahogany cabinet, which would look well in any dining-room. In the box is what we call a full orchestra; it consists of drums, cym- bals, castanets and flute, in addition to the ordinary comb. Then by fasten- ing a small piece of metal on the comb it will give the tone of harp. It plays forty-eight tunes, having eight Interchangeable cylinders. Each cyl finder plays six tunes. Extra cylinders may be purchased at any time and any piece of music can be arran ged on the cylinder. The cylinders vary in price from twenty dollars to eighty dollars. A very fine box we have is so arranged that instead of playing piece of music with one revolution of the cylinder it will keep on revolving until the piece is all played. It will play the entire overtures of the following operas; William Tell, Semiramide, Martha. Il Trovatore, Fra Diavolo and Don Gio- vanni. We will make a cylinder to play any overture that is wanted

THE ISLE OF JUNE.
One of the Healthiest and Most Charmin g
 Spots on Earth.

One of the Healthiest and Most Charming S
 Spots on Earth.
 "Whatis is the most beautiful place that you have ever visited?n asked lady of an old English naval officer. ''New Providence, in the Bahamas" was the answer. To this view many travellers would not assent, but Nassau, as the island is popularly called from its prin- cipal town, is one of the most beautiful gardens of the sea. Columbus, who visited the island during his first voyage, called it Fernandia, and Ponce de Leon thought that he had found here the earthly Paradise, and tourists of recent years call it the Isle of June, because the winter months are like June in the tenn perate zones. Nassau is the capital of the Bahamas. It is place of old sea romances, from the dramatic pirates to the blockade runners. English naval officers, worn with service, are often sent here to recruit. England holds it to be one of her most health-giving re- treats. The island is some twenty-one miles long and seven wide, and IS fa- nous for it's cocoonut trees and pine apple farms. The winter market of Nassau is one of the most wonderful in the world, as in it are found all the products of the tropics, together with those of the temperate zones. MT. Frank Stockton, in a magazine article on the '1sle of June" once gave a list of the fruits to be found there, an amazing oata 1Ooun Of familiar and I1nfa miliar names. It is also famous for green tur- ties, and the sea is as prolific in food as the land in fruits. Youths ConspGnior.

THE OCTROI.
An Internal Customs Duty Levied in
 France and Italy.

Among the financial reforms proposed is that of abolishing the octroi. This is a form of internal customs duty un- known and entirely inconceivable in America, where trade is free between the different States and between the cities and the surrounding country.
 The products of one department pay a tax in that department, and if they are sent to another pay customs duty when entering it. For instance, @ citizen of Bordeaux, who owns vineyards and makes wine in. Roussillon, pays tax on his wine there, and another if he brings them to Bordeaux. So with every other product taken from the place ofproduc- ton to another locality. The cities also have their octroi, making all the neces- saries of life-wood, meat, four, vege- tables-pay heavily when they are brought in for the consumption of it's inhabitants. It is this which renders living so expensive in Paris, for the octroi comes at last out of the consum- CT, and as there is constantly large floating population in France, largely out of the foreigner, who has done so much to make the French capital the magnificent city which it is. The little custom-houses are distributed along the Seine and on the thoroughfares leading into the city. No one can travel throughous France, stopping at the large cities, without being constantly made aware of the expenses of the octroi by the attention which his baggage, and even his little handbag, receives when in making his exit from the station he has to run the gauntlet of the petty officials whose duty it is to see that nothing escapes the payment of this particularly offensive duty. There is only one country in Europe which maintains the octroi, and that is Italy, but Italy is very poor, and if it is anywhere excusable, it is in that new and struggling country.
 The inconvenience of the octroi has long been complained of by producers and consumers, especially the poor, upon whom it bears heavily, and some of the more progressive statesmen of the country have for many years been casting about for some feasible means O1 IL lDO1lSHCO, pOG oO Sllu- out success. The great cities, which are chiefly maintained by it, are naturally opposed, and the rich, whose property will have to pay more heavily should it be removed, are also opposed to a change If this old medieval relic dis appears some other form of taxation will have to take its place, and what that shall be will have to be a matter of long and careful consideration to country whose burdens in the way of tax and import are already too grievous to be borne. That the change would be relief to the poorer classes, and to a large class of middle-class consumers, who think that the necessaries of life should be exempt from taxation if any thing, is too plain to require serious argument.-C0r.

beautiful, gay, full of spirit and vigor. She married and had four children; her husband died and left her penni- less. She taught school, she painted, she sewed; she gave herself scarcely time to eat or sleep. Every thought was for her children, to educate them, to give them the same chance which their father would have done.
 ''She succeeded; sent the boys to col lege, and the girls to schools. When they came home, pretty, refined girls and strong young men, abreast with all the new ideas and tastes of their time, she was worn-out, common place old woman. They had their own pursuits and companions. She fingered among them for two or three years and then died. of some sudden failure in the brain. The shock woke them to con- sciousness of the truth. They hung over her, as she lay unconscious, in an agony of grief. The oldest son, as he held her in his arms, cried:

 Boys, when you come back from col lege, don't consider that your only re- lation to your father is to ''get as much money as the governor will stand" Look at his gray hair, his unsteady step. his dim eyes, and remember in whose service he has grown old.

The Mystic Number Eleven.

Falstaff's divinity of odd numbers" received a curious exemplifcation at the late municipal elections at Trieste, when the recurrence of the number eleven was really remarkable. The electors of the fourth ward, for example, num- bered 1,311; in the third ward only eleven Liberal candidates came forward, and in the first a like number of eleven were in opposition. The elections began on the eleventh day of the month, and the result in the Third Ward was proclaimed at eleven o'clock at night. The mayor was elected by LII votes, and among the new councillors are eleven advo- cates, eleven merchants and eleven Jews. Thus, at least at Trieste, the un- fortunate number eleven-disliked SC long as symbolical of the number of the Apostles after the loss of Judas-bids fair to become quite rehabilitated-N r. Post

AN ODD CUSTOM.

 River Douro in Portugal.

The Tribute Levied at the Entrance of the
 River Douro in Portugal.
 The coast of Portugal is defended from invasion by forts of castellated form set along the shores wherever landing might seem convenient, or where an inn portant point had to be protected. Most of these strong places date from before the introduction of gunpowder, and were afterward restored and received their present extremely picturesque form long before guns and gunnery practice had attained modern perfection. One of the largest and strongest is the Castle of Fog, at the entrance to the river Douro. Itisin such an important position that at one time it mounted at least fifty guns, though probably little more than toys, if we judge by the size of the embrasures. A curious old custom is still kept up of firing at vessels which try to pass the bar without a pilot, or when the red flag is not flying at the fort Luckily, blank cartridges are used in modern times. The first gun is fired when the vessel is outside the bar, and if it at once turns and gives up its attempt to get in, it is fined only small sum. However, if it continues it's efforts, the gun is loaded and fired agaln and again as quickly as possible during its passage, and for every discharge another fine is imposed on the ship. A skillfully- handled ship escapes without heavy fines, but badly managed vessel has to pay dearly; or in other words, the greater the danger they have risked the greater the fine demanded in punish ment.-ATt Journal.

 The figures in the illustration were cut from advertising cards, and the head be- longs to none of the bodies.
 A curious fact in arranging the pictures in this way, is that the heads all look as though they might really belong to any oi the various bodies given them.
 Instead of having but one figure on a page, groups may be formed of both men and women, and in the different arsange. ment of the figures, they can be made very ludicrous indeed.

TINY TOKENS.

The murmur of a waterfall
 A mile away, The rustic when a robin lights Upon spray, The tapping of a lowland stream
 On dipping boughs, The sound of grazing from a herd
 Of gentle cows, The echo from a wooded hill
 Of cuckoo's call, The culver through the meadow grass At evening fall; Too subtle are these harmonies
 For pen and rule; Such music is not understood
 By any school; But when the brain is overwrought, It hath spell Beyond all human skill and power To make it we'll The memory of kindly word
 For long gone by, The fragrance of a fading flower
 Sent lovingly, The gleaming of a sudden smile
 Or sudden tear, The warmer pressure of the hand, The tone of cheer, The hush that means "I can not speak, But have heardp' The note that only bears verse
 From Gods own word; Such tiny things we hardly count As ministry; The givers deeming they have shown Scant sympathy; But when the heart is overwrought, O, who can tell The power of such tiny things
 To make 1t well
