The Burro and the Bulldog.

A burro and a bulldog had a fight
recently in Fresno, Cal. Burro is Cali
fornia for donkey. The burro was
browsing on cookie burs by the road
side when the bulldog trotted along,
stopped. and without growl. seized
the donkey by the shank bone of the
off hind leg. The burro kicked and
kicked. and then he tried to reach the
dog with his mouth. but unavailingly.
Then the burro laid down on his back
and brought it's hind legs forward to-
wards its head. He shut his Jaws on
the dogs back and slowly Strengthened
out The dog without flinching kept
his grip on the shank bone. But the
donkey had just as much grit. and
kept on Strengthening out, though the
strain was causing the flesh and mus
cles to be terribly lacerated. The dog
let 90 first. The burro kept its hold
on the dogs back. and in asecond was
on its feet, with the dog dangling from
it's mouth. The burro's leg was ter
ribly lacerated, but he did not seem to
mind. He limped across the road,
and. deliberately pausing several times
to rest, rubbed the dog back and forth
over the barked-wire fence until it was
killed. The dog did not howl from the
beginning to the end.-Cor. Chicago

The Australian Lyre-Bird.

We were just in the middle of
TRAMP. tramp" when long. clear
whistle, with crack like a pistol
shot at the end, stopped us short. Sit
ting down on the roadside we listened,
and soon the whistle began again; then
followed the most exquisite mimicry of
many of the songsters OF the wood,
varied by sounds resembling the clear
tones of distant bell, the rattle of
rickety wagon, raspings and gratings
that made the cold chills run down
ones back, whispers, means, cries
and laughter. clearly distinguished
the coarse laugh of the giant king
fisher, the cooling of the dove, the call
of the black and white shike, the song
of the rusty-backed thrush, the scream
of the hawk, and the hOarse screech-
ing of the cockatoo. Sometimes the
song. with a volume like large organ
was loud and sweet. and it seemed as
if the musicians must be within
stones throw. then again it died away
to the faintest whisper. There was a
mellow richness in parts that reminded
me OF the liquid notes of the clario-
net. We sat spellbound until the
song had ceased. 1 have heard most
OF our American songsters, and some
OF them are very fine, with voices rich
and mellow, but the mockinp-bird
himself can not compare with this
prince OF songsters, the Australian
lyre-bird. Sherman F. Denton.

BRAVE BAND-MASTERS,
What Becomes of RegimentaI Musicians
in Times of War.

| in Times of War.
The majority of people imagine that
every band accompanies it's regiment
wherever it goes for the purpose oil
keeping up the good spirits of the
soldiers, of supplying tolerable har-
mony for the better digesting of the
officers dinners, and in the case oil
actual conflict to inspire the men with
enthusiasm and incite them to acts OF
herOism compared with which TYR
t9us-with his flutes and verses in
flaming the ardor of the Spartans. so
hat they cut in pieces the whole army
of the hitherto unconquerable Mes
slnlans-is quite outrivaled. Nothing
of the sort. Our fine regimental bands
are not taken to the battlefield, and
to suppose that Tommy Atkins ex-
pires to the strains of '.Men of Har-
lech.' or Bonnie Dundee" is to per-
petuate fallacy which many an old
widow with a scapegrace son could
dispel. What real fighting would be
to full orchestral accompaniment l
can not judge, but it would certainly
be no iuglorious end to blare a tuba in
the face Of an enemy until an obstru-
ent ball chOked it's funnel or created q
vacuum in the neighboring bass drum!
1t is the trumpeters and buglers of
the cavalry, and the buglers, drum
mers and fifers of the infantry only who
go on active service in a musical capaci-
ty, and then the bandsmen and band
sergeant are deputed to the ranks,
their instruments being returned into
stores for safe custody until the piping
times of peace. The trumpet major
and trumpeters of the cavalry, and the
drummers, buglers and fifers of the in
fantry join their respective troops, re-
tanning their Instrumental duties in the
field, but the other bandsmen are
trained us stretcher bearers and to as
sist the medical staff generally in the
care of the wounded. If circumstances
warrant it both cavalry and infantry mu-
sicians are liable to be called upon for
ordinary soldiers duties, and they are so
trained when at home. Occasionally
even the bandmaster goes on active
service (though more often he has to
remain at home instructing backward
men and boys unable to bear arms),
and the case of the bandmaster of the
Twenty fourth South Wales Borderers.
who was killed at Isandula, as well as
the promotion of the bandmaster of
the Sixty-fifth york and Lancaster)
regiment are recent instances of this.
The latter, Mr.. +. H. Mahony, was
appointed Master in this regi-
ment and was mentioned in dispatches
and promoted honorary Captain for
his distinguished conduct at the bat
ties of Ell Teb and Tamai. The bands
of the Guards and other stationary
regiments are never ordered away for
active service. either in the ranks or
as bandsmen, which may, or may not,
be a reason why men are so anxious to
get into these particular bands

Historical Notes Concerning an Ornament
of Great Antiquity.
Necklaces in the reign of Charles I,
were made of amber set in gold.
Pharaoh put a gold chain about
Joseph's neck as a mark of his au-
thority in Egypt.
Among the Tartars of the time OF
Genghis Khan the necklace was often
made of human teeth.
The Southern negroes constantly
wear bead necklaces, looking upon
them as genuine charms.
In the reign of Henry VIII. any one:
who had not f200 per year income
could not wear a necklace.
One of the most valuable and cOvet-
ed possessions of the Western Indian
is the necklace of grizzly BEARS claws
The Puritans abolished necklaces, as
they abolished every thing they laid
their hands on which savored of Orna-
ment.
Thousands of people place necklaces
of coral beads around the necks OF
babies, with the belief that they will
assist the children in teething.
When the Saxon dynasty was over
thrown by the Normans. all persons
below Il certain rank were forbidden
to wear necklaces under heavy penal
ties.
In South America the natives wear
necklaces of a peculiarly-marlSed seed
which belongs to a plant growing only
on the mountains along the snow line

THE WINTER PALACE.
Russia's Most Celebrated Structure from

Russia's Most Celebrated Structure from
an Artistic Point of View.
The initiative of the Russians in art
and in civilization is limited. Hitherto
they have displayed greater aptitude
for copying than for original concep-
ton. and even for their copies they
have had recourse to Western artists,
particularly to Italian architects like
Quarenghi. Rossi and Count Rastrelli
The last is responsible both for the
outside and the inside of the Winter
Palace. This enormous structure was
begun in 1892. finished in 1862.

with which it communicates by means
of a covered bridge. The proportions
of this palace are not commendable:
the style of architecture is very bonn
bastic rocco; the decoration is over
charged with statues, caryatides,
fiower-pots, grenades, and trumpery
accessories; the cheap stucco sur
face of its facades - mercilessly
broken up by pilasters, water
spouts, and windows. so that the eye
nowhere finds repose-is washed with
a brownish red terra-cotta color
picked out with a lighter tone of yell

The outside of this palace is abso-
lutely without charm or merit of any
kind; it's only claim to notice is its
immensely. which. by-the-way. accord
ing to Russian notions, is very con-
siderable claim. The interior is a
saddening example of the bad taste

1t is better to be dumb than to be
| misunderstood.
He that hath ears to hear let him
hear. But usually the man with the
most ears. wants to do all the talking.
The charity which holds a multi
tude of sins isn't half SO much needed
nowadays as the sterner virtue which
rawhides them.-Puck.
Extremes meet in almost every
thing; it is hard to tell whether the
statesman at the top of the world. or
the plowman at the bottom, labors
hardest
Men think it's goodness of heart
that makes them generous at times
when in reality it is only regularity of
the liver Merchant Traveller.
We are not more ingenious in
searching out bad motives for good
actions. when performed by others,
than good motives for bad actions,
when performed by ourselves.
Praise, to mean any thing at all,
must be spontaneous and prompted by
real approval of character or admira-
ton of excellence; otherwise it is as
futile as bubble that floats moment
in the air and is gone forever.-Once

Happiness comes only from a con-
sciousness of well-doing. Fleeing
pleasure we may enjoy for a short
time; but we need look back with no
regret to a happy might have been"
unless we could picture ourselves do
ing right.
There come hard experiences in
most lives, when self-denial must be
practiced and many things which are
desirable done without; but it is to a
great extent left to our choice whether
this shall be during the strength and
enthusiasm of youth. or when the in
frmities of age are upon us.
Tho day-laborer, who earns, with
hard hand and the sweat of his face,
coarse food for a wife and chill
dren whom he loves, is raised, by this
generous motive to true dignity; and
though wanting the refnements of life,
is a nobler being than those who think
themselves absolved by wealth from
serving others.
If, in the pursuit of that on which
we have set our hearts, we take steps
which violate our sense of right and
lower our moral tone, to just that ex-
tent we do not lessen the success of our
lives. The temporary gain which may
seem to ensue is in reality our worst
failure, and will sooner or later mani
fest itself as such.
Whoever is wise is apt to suspect
and be diffident of himself, and upon
that account is willing to ''harken unto
COUNSEL whereas the foolish man. be-
ing in proportion to his folly full of
himself, and swallowed up in conceTt,
will seldom take any counsel but bis
own. and for that very reason, because
it is his own.

The effects of mental shock on the
mind in causing permanent bad health
of mind are easily inflicted in the pc
riod Of infancy. early life and school
life, of which let one illustration sui
fee A gentleman who for many years,
was under my observation as con-
firrned mental invalid, strong man in
many respects. but utterly irresoluse,
and in the end of disordered mind Alto
gether. acquired his mental disease
from sudden distrust. He had in his
childhood an innate dread of deep,
waiter, and he had at the same time
a tutor for whom he held the,
warmest affection, coupled with the,
most absolute trust and conf
dence- In a thoughtless and;
unhappy moment this tutor became
possessed with the ide l that he wouldl
break his pupils dread of deep water
by pitching him into pool where
they were accustomed to battle to-,

was no actual danger, for the depth
wasreally not great, the pool was calm,
the boy could swim little, and in an
instant the tutor. a strong and skilful
swimmer, was in the water himself
rendering succor and support. The
lad was brought to shore safely
enough, but the mischief of the mind
was inflicted beyond repair. The sur
face of trust was obliterated, and a
fixed distrust in the mind of the youth
was, set up for ever. If skilful physi-

destroyed it mechanically. he could not
have inflicted a more severe injury

READING FOR THE YOUNG,
YOU'LL REAP WHAT you SOW.

Be careful what you SOW, my boy.
For seed that's sown will grow,
And what you scatter, day by day,
VIII bring you JOY or woe.
For sowing and growing,
Then reaping and moving,
Are the surest things ere known,
And signing and crying,
And sorrow undying,
Will never change seed that is sown.
Be watchful of your words. nv boy,
Be careful OF your acts,
For words can cut, and deeds bring blood
And wounds are stubborn facts.
Whether sleeping or weeping,
Or weary watch keeping,
The seed that is sown will still grow:
The rose brings new roses:
The thorn-tree discloses
Its thorns as an index Of woe.
Be careful of your friends. my boy,
Nor walk and mate with vice:
1.-The boy Is father to the man.
Then fly when sins entice
The seed one Is sowing
Through time will be growing,
And each one must gather his own;
In joy or in sorrow,
To-day or tomorrow,
You'll reap what your right hand has sown!

GIRLS IN BURMAH.
The Ceremonies Incident to the BORNE al
Their Ears.

The Ceremonies Incident to the Boring Of
Their Ears.
A traveller in PARKWAY Burmah. of
! which we know very little except from
missionary reports, says that Burmese
girls compare very favorably with our
girls in looks and manners. OF couse
the smoke cigars. which is contrary to
our standard of good manners, but it is
good form in Burmah. Perhaps the
most interesting trait about Burmese
girls Is their passion for personal
adornment, especially in the way of
earrings
All Burmese women wear ear-plugs
These are as costly as the purse of the
women can purchase, and they are
like no earrings you will find in
America.
The lobes of their ears have holes in
them. each of which is from haff-inch
to an inch and half in diameter, and
l have seen such holes through which
mans thumb could be thrust and
not bruise the skin.
In some cases women carry these
big Burmese cigars in their ears, and
once saw woman's ear in which
there were gold rings which would
have made good-sized napkin-rings.
1t seems Incredible that the flesh can
stretch as it does. but some of the
poorer women's ears are so enlarged
by this process that the string of flesh
which hangs down in the place of the
lobe is almost us large around as the
ear itself.
The high-caste lady has hole in her
ear about as big around as her index
finger, and the ear-plugs, which are
about half an inch long, are often
tipped with clusters of diamonds. They
are sometimes of gold, and in the cases
OF less well-to-do people are plugs of
solid amber.
The ceremony of boring the ears of
Burmese girl is quite as important to
her as that of the first long dress to
the American girl. 1t takes place
when she reaches the age of twelve or
thirteen.
The family consults a fortune-teller
for good day and hour, and big
feast is prepared. All the sisters,
cousins and aunts are invited, and
these squat down on the floor about
the room while the girl, with her
nearest relatives about her, lies down
on a mat at the back.
A professional ear-borer does the
business. He has needles of pure gold
for the use of the rich and Of silver
for the poor. The fortune-teller keeps
his eye on the sun and tells the party
when the propitious moment has an
rived.
The girl Is frightened half to death.
her down while the ear-borer thrusts
the gold needle through her ear, and
catching it at the back, twists it around
so that it forms a gold ring, and this
he leaves in the ear.
The other ear is likewise treated,
and all the time a band of music plays
outside the house.
1t takes the ear some time to heal,
and after this the process of enlarging
the hole begins. The needle is turned
around and passed backward and for
ward during the healing, land then a fine
ly-rolled gold plate is pressed through
the hole. This is gradually opened
from week to week until the hole has
been stretched into the proper size:
The Burmese men also pierce their
ears and wear earrings, but the cere~
mony with them is not important and
their earrings are not of the gorgeous
character of those of the women
