HOMEMADE ORCHESTRA.
Hov . Mother and childreu nInde arusIoin
tho Family Circle.

s tho Family Circle.
OF all Of family, devices for homo
entertainment I think nothing ever
gave more pleasure to our children,
ourselves and our friends than our
orchestra. 1 commend it to all music
loving mothers, writes Rebecca Hart in
the Ladies' Home journal.
When my own boy was seven years
old was living with my sister, who
had boy Of tho same age and q little
girl OF Ave. We were both fond OF
music and had taught the children to
sing simple little songs to piano &c
compartment Ono day ono of them
took up drum and began beating it
In time to my playing. His time was 90
exact and seemed to come to him so
naturally that it gavo US our idea of
Juvenile orchestra.
We bought tambourine and tri-
angle, and with the drum, which was
very nice one, and tho piano, our
equipment was complete. Ono instru-
ment was given to each child, and as
there was no tuning to BIO done and no
possibility of striking false notes
nothing to it, indeed, but timc-thore
was very little skill required. And yet
the result was very excellent music of
the kind, which, owing to the agos of
the children, was always enjoyed.
After they once got tho idea of time
they could accompany any piece, and
old marches, pollnas and songs were
brought into rcquisition until the OK
tent Of their rcpertory was considered
quite remarkable. AS their part of it
was simply to beat, it was not SO re-
marlcable, after all, but tho effect was
always Of an orchestra piece with a.
piano accompaniment.
For the songs we played n prelude and
the interlude on tho instruments and
sang the verses or chor,fScS in thrco
parts, the children taking the soprano
and their mothers the alto and tenor.
We were very strict about beginning
exactly together. They stood in limo
noar the piano, each with his instg1l-
Inent, WHICH he was not permitted to
strike until the signal was given. At the
striking of n chord the instruments wore
raised to place, and at a second chord the
music began.
At the pianissimo passages all stopped
but the triangle and the piano, then tho
tam3ourine. would come in, and as the
will.
After little while we added another
triangle and o. pair of chime bells to our
Instruments and two little neighbors to
tho performers, and when one Of the
older boys developed a quite remarkable
talont for the olapPers. we embraced
that classic instrument in our collection
and levied upon our friends for another
boy, to whom descended the tamhourize.
Thus we had an orchestra of seven in
struments, and the music Was 80 jolly
and taking that it was never-onding
source of pleasure to visitors, and was in
demand for parlor entertainments.
church socials and amateur concerts, till
tho older boys were 80 large that they
absolutely refused to play again on what
they termed such "baby instruments"

UNLovEp AND ALONE.

The sea dove some twin shadow has,
The lark has loves in seas of grass,
The wild beast trumpets back his vow,
The squirrel laughs along his bough;
But l, am as lone, alasi
As yon white moon when white clouds pass,
AS lonely and unloved, alasi
AS clouds that weep and drop and pass
o maiden, singing silver sweet,
At cabin door, in field Of corn,
Where woodbines twine for thy retreat
Sing sweet through all thy summer morn,
For love is landing at thy feet,
In that fair isle in seas Of corn,
But l, / am unloved and lorn,
AS winter winds of winter morn.
The ships, black-bellied, climb the sea,
The seamen seek their loves on land,
And love and lover, hand in hand,
Go singing, glad as glad can be,
But nevermore shall love seek me,
By blowy sea or broken land,
By broken wild or willow tree,
Nay, nevermore shall love seek me.

PARALLEL LINES.

Every student knows that in close
reasoning parallel lines of thought are
laid down and deductions educed. g.
1t is not our purpose at this time to
enter into a learned discussion, and we
have drawn the above visible lines
simply to bring them prominently be-
fore your eye and to ask what they rep
resent to you.
A railroad man to whom we showed
them said, "To me those four lines
represent a double-track railway"
A doctor replied to the same inter
rogatory, ''The lines are to me the
large arteries and veins lying along
side each other in the human body"
As will be observed the same lines to
either gentleman suggested different
lines of thought, as both looked at
them through eyes accustomed to see
only that which for the most part oc-
cupied their attention. To the writer
both answers PIT an old truth in q
fresh and original light.
As every intelligent man or woman
knows, the blood of every living per-
son flows with almost railroad speed
through the arteries, forced by that
wonderful engine. the heart. From the
arteries it is side-tracked through the
capilliaries and veins, and every drop
OF blood goes through the kidneys for
publication no less than $500 times
every twenty-four hours. If the kid
neys be diseased the impurities OF the
blood containing the worn-out tissues.
and deleterious acids are not drawn
out or excreted as nature intended,
but continually pass and repass
through every fiber OF the system, car
rying death and decay with every pull
sation. Unless remedied the heart be-
comes weakened. the lungs trying to
do double work break down, the liver
becomes congested. the stomach re-
fuses to digest food and the result is q
general break down.
Whyp
Because the kidneys, the sewers Of
the system, are foul and stopped up,
and the entire blood becomes nothing
more nor less than sewage.
Now IL 1t not criminal, nay, suicidal,
TO oallow such state OF thugs to con-
tinue when simple remedy is within
your reach, known for certainty to
do as represented, which will open the
closed pipes of the kidneys, allow the
effete matter to escape, relieve the

what advanced by the recent expert
ments of NJ. Galtier, of Paris. According
to the experiments the dried virus has
its poisonous properties destroyed in from
four to six days On the other hand,
earlier experiments Of the same savant
show that an animal which has died of
rabies may retain the poison in that part
of the brain called the medulla oblongata
for six or seven weeks. 1t is evident
that this fact. may be Of importance in
cases where persons have been bitten by
animals supposed to be rabid. If the body
of the creature has been buried itmay be
possible to exhume it after many days
and make experiments which will serve
to show whether danger from the wound
is to be apprehended. In this way I'M
