THE wHIsTMNG LANGUAGE.
How People Converse i'm One of the
Canary Islands.

How People Converse i'm One of the
Canary Islands.
81. James Gazette: At the last meet
ing of the Berlin Anthropological So
ciety, Lieutenant Quedenfeldt, a Ger
man officer who has lived on Gomero
Island, one of the Canary group, de-
scribed whistling language which is
used by the inhabitants. The Ian
guage does not consist Of any arbitrary
series of signals or sounds; it is de-
scribed as ordinary speech translated
into articulate whistling, each sylla-
BILE having its own appropriate tone.
The Gomero uses both fingers and
lips when whistling, and Lieutenant
Quedenfelt asserts that he can carry
on a conversation with a neighbor q
mile off, who perfectly understands
all he is saying.
The practice is confined to Gomero
Island, and is quite unknown in the
other islands of the Archipelago. The
adoption of the whistling language is
said to be due TO the peculiar geologi-
cal construction Of Gomero Island.
1t is traversed by numerous gullies
and deepravines running outin all di-
rections from the central plateau. AS
they are not bridged they can only be
crossed with great difficulty; hence
man living within stones throw of
another in straight line has often to
90 around many miles when he
wishes to see or speak TO his neighbor.
This, it is conjectured, led TO the
admit Af xIyhfgtliY,ry M N r,,I
means Of communication, which has
gradually assumed the proportions of
a true substitute for speech. 1t is
described as being anything but un-
pleasing TO the ear.
This reminds one of the drum lam
guage of the natives of the Cam
eroons, mentioned in Buchol2's book
on West Africa, by means of which
the most complicated messages can be
conveyed to villages at distance
when occasions necessitate it. For
this purpose a peculiarly shaped drum
is employed, By dividing the sur
face into uneven halves the instru-
ment, on being struck, may be made
to yield two distinct notes. By these
and shortening or lengthening the
intervals between each note a code is
established with a regular sequence
of taps, strokes and intervals capable
of expressing every syllable in the
language.
All thenatives understand this code,
and so highly elaborated is it that a
chief can by its means summon to his
presence any villager whom he desires
to see, intimating to the latter at the
same time the purpose for which he
is required. In this way, too, mes
sages can be sent from village to viii
lage over wide stretches of country
the drummer in one hamlet transmit
ting TO the next the signals he hears
and with extraordinary rapidity.

CHRISTENING,

To-day saw little calm-eyed child
Where soft lights rippled and the shad-
ows tarried
Within the churchs shelter arched and
aisled--
Peacefully wondering, to the altar car
ried;
White-robed and sweet, in semblanee of
flower,
White as the daisies that adorned the
chancel;
Borne like gift-the young wife's nat
III ural DOVER
Offered to God as her most precious
hansel.
Then ceased the music, and the little one
Was silent; and the multitude assem-
bled
Hearkened; and when of Father and of
Son
He spoke, the pastors deep voice broke
and trembled.
But she, the child, knew not the solemn
words,
And suddenly yielded to troubled
wailing
AS shelpless as the cry of frightened birds,
Whose untried wings for fight are un-
ayailing.s
How like in this, thought, to older folk !
The blessing falls; We call 1t tribulation,
And fancy that we wear sorrows yoke
Even at the moment of our consecra-
ton.

Magazine for March.

SHE WAS DISMISSED.
BY JULIAN HAWTHORNE.

At twenty minutes past two Richard
Balderston, sitting in his inner offce,'
heard the door of the clerks room
open and a voice inquire, "Is Mr..
Balderston in p" The clerk mumbled
something in reply, and a moment
later appeared with card, which he
handed to his chief. ....
"Ask Mr.. Turbot to step in" said
the latter at once.
A man of 80, of fashionable aspect,
good looking, grayeeand well-man-
nered, entered and removed his silk
hat with his gloved hand, and glanced
at Balderston with a kind of courteous
indifference. He looked like club
man who had seen the world and be-
come bored by it. He was we'll
dressed, we'll shaved, well-appointed
in every way; his gray eyes were lazy,
but unfathomable. They seemed
made TO see into others, but TO allow
no one to see into them. His voice
as he said, 81 believe you asked 10 see

slightly embarrassed.

spoke, and regarded the other with
an air OF meditative tolerance, though
the broker must have been five years
his senior, and was well known on
the street as wealthy and prosper
GUS man.
"You see, the situation is this. i
am obliged by my business to be
away from home from nine O'Clock,
till four. / work hard, and am not
over-fond of society. My wife, on
the other hand, has nothing but soci-
ETY. TO attend to. She has French blood
in her--that may have something to
do with it. She is young and pretty
and vivacious and all that. She has
her social engagements, and keeps
