A Paper Piano.

Among the many recent novelties in
the manufacture of musical instruments
is a paper piano. 1t is Of French inven-
ton, and is an object of great curiosity
to the connoisseurs and musical savants
of Paris. The entire case is made OF
compressed paper, to which are given
hard surface and brilliant polish. The
locs and sides are ornamented with
al .besques and floral ornaments. The
color is cream white, and the entire ex-
terror, and as much of the interior as
can be seen when the instrument is open,
are covered with wreaths and medallions
painted in miniature by some of the
leading artists of the gay capital.
The tone of this instrument is said, by
those who have heard it, to be of
excellent quality, though not loud. The
broken, alternating character of piano
music is said to be almost entirely re-
moved, and rich, full, continuous roll
Of music, like that of a pipe organ, is
! oduced. Only two of these instru-
Taents have been made. One is still on
exhibition; the other has been sold to
the duke of Devonshire, and will be
placed among the thousand and one
curiosities and ralities which adorn his
more than regal mansion at Chatsworth.

Victor Hugo's Physiognomy.


Victor Hugo's face is one that puzzles
me. 1t has two physiognomies. When
il is serious almost gloomy; and not
only like a face that has never laughed,
but one that can never do so---and his eyes
look at people with an expression of in
quietude. One feels like saying to him:
"Hugo, do me the favor to look the
other way ~ They are the eyes of stern
Judge, or of duelist stronger than you,
who wishes to fascinate you by his glance.
At such moments put on him, in
thought, white turban: he becomes an
old sheik---replace this with helmet he
is an old soldier---place on his head
crown, and he, is vindictive and mex
orable king. He has something of the
austerity of a priest, and the gloom OF
magician. He has a iOn-Gke face.
When he opens his mouth it seems as if a
roar must be heard, and when he raises
his strong fist it seems as if he could not
let it down without crushing something.
At such times one can read on his face
the history of all his struggles, suffer
ings, thJ iron-Iike tenacity Of his nature,
the gloomy sympathies of his fancy, his
conyicts, collins, specters, RACES, and
hatreds, all of the Ombre, or he would
say, the dark side of his works. But
suddenly, as happened to see that even
ing, while some one was telling a funny
anecdote of one of the cabmen of Paris,
he burst out into laugh so gay and free,
showing all his superb white teeth, and
in that laugh his eyes and mouth as
sumed such youthful and ingenious
expression that one could no longer rec
ognize the original man, and was quite
as astonished as if mask had fallen
from his face and presented to his view
the true Victor Hugo for the first time.

New YorL.s professional Beggars.

Professional beggary long years ago
made its appearance here, and some OF
our streets are absolutely offensive with
that class of development. Hideous
hays salute the passer with hypoerItlcal
whines, bogus sailors limp along the
highway, armlcss soldiers who never saw
a war turn the hand organ of beggary,
ksen-witted scoundrels suddenly dis
close hideous sores, one-legged boys,
children with distorted limbs, manned
and Scared and frightfully mangled
bodies, are conspicuously exposed here
and there, and the police take no notice
whatever. Blind men stand at hun
dred corners, and little children almost
without number dog the footsteps OF the
well to do, deceiving, lying, prostituting
their better natures in every possible
way, that they may snatch from the
generous or the careless that which they
might much better earn in the channels
of honest industry.

A friend Of mine tells an amusing
anecdote. The winter her little daugh-
ter began to walk her canary bird was
allowed to be out OF the cage and fly
where he pleased in the house. One
day he was near the baby. and She be-
gan to crawl towards him He bristled
up his feathers and spread his wings
and came towards her. She turned
from him and began to crawl from him
with all her migat Then she looked
around and saw he was not after her
She began to crawl towards him again
and followed him up for short dis
lance he hopping along on the floor
ahead Of her. Again he turned and
bristled up and went for her and She
crept away with all her might Again
she turned and crepttoward him. The
mother and her help. looking on,
laughed 50 loud that it attracted their
Alteration and their little dispute was
ended. Ever after the bird wa q great
friend of the baby following her around
Ike "a little dog, at other times perch
inc on the cradle and eating from her
hand When she began to walk she
would hold out her finger and the bird
would come and alight upon and lei
her carry it around
But when the summer came and the
doors were opened they returned the
bird to his cage. He seemed unhappy
and was continually irving to get ont,
and they le. it out. and either cat
caught it or ii flew away and did not
return.
Another ladvI knew Of had a bird
that would, when let ont. aiight on her
shoulder and eat sugar from her mouth.
and which She would tell it to kiss her
he would peek her check.
Another bird knew Of would. when
her mistress told IT 10 "be a dead bind,
lie down on its back in her hand and
shut its eyes, then partly open them
and watch her till She told it ..lhat
would do. then it would spring up
and seem pleased with the play.
| know of one little bird whose keep
ar djsliked it SO much she kept it sit
ting in back room on the floor. and
scarcely paid any att ntion to it; the
little fellow seemed to hate himself al
most. | asked her to lend him to ne
for while; she said She "would be
glad to get ud Of him. So | took
him home, placed him in a window
where Le could Get light and sunshine;
in little while he seemed almost SO
and full Of song that he seemeds happy
like another bird.
! think it very wrong to neglect our
little pets. If we cannot take good
care of them we ought not to Keep
them They seem to know whether
they are loved or not
