Poetry to Be Sung,

A reader of the lyric poetry of the
EllZabethan age is struck with its
adaptation to music, its limpidity and
directness of utterance.
Each composition. says Mr.. ]. A.
Symonds, in The Fortnightly Re
view, lis meant to be sung, and can
be sung, because the poets soul was
singing when he made it."
The lyrics of the present age possess
but little of this quality. Mr.. Sy-
monds once asked Jennie Lind WHY
Shelley's lyrics were i'll adapted to
to music She made him read aloud
to her the Song of Pan" and TO the
Night. Then she pointed out that
verse is full of complicated thoughts,
and packed consonants. Not one
melodic phrase could be found to ex-
press the poetic emotion.
Il can sing Millions
Let the bright Seraphim in burning row,
Their loud, uplifted angel trumpets blown
said Jenny Lind, land can sing Dry
den, but | could not sing yourShelley,
Wordsworth, Keats; no, and not much
Ienn1yson either Tennyson has
sought out all the solid sharp words,
and put them together; music cannot
come between.
The lyrics of the present time, SO
Mr.. Symonds sums up the facts, are
not SO singable as the Elizabethan "
RIGS because they are far more complex
IN their verbal structure, in their
thoughts images and emotions. Their
words, CARRY tUv many, too various.
and too contemplative suggestions.

storx or = saxacious rtule.

Everybody who visits the Grand
Pacific with any amount of frequency
has made the acquaintance of Pat
Aaron. Pat has lately developed a
faculty for story telling, and has been
fer some time past trying to make his
customers believe he has seen oysters
climb trees. Finding this yarn too
large, he has one now of modified
character. Patsays when he was down
in New Orleans he saw a mule working
on a street car line that had in a great
degree what might be considered genu-
inc horse sense. He says the animal
was known all through the Crescent
City by the name of Stonewall Jack
son, and when hitched UP to his car in
the morning would not move until the
barn gong sounded the hour of leav
ing, no matter how anxious the con-
ductor or the driver might be to get a
minute or two the start for some pur-
pose of his own. Pat says that one
morning the mule was brought up to
be hitched to a strange car.
The instant Stonewall saw the car
he backed stubbornly away, and no
urging would induce him to get in his
place. At last he was led around to
the repair shops and shown his car, on
which the painters had begun work,
and he at once seemed to realize the
difficulty, for he went back and will
ingly took his place beside his mate
and drew the strange car all day.
The next morning, though, the same
trouble ensued, and he had to be shown
that his own car was not ready. Where
Stonewall showed the greatest intelli-
gence, Pat says, was stopping appar
emily without reason while on trip.
He did this one day when an extra
conductor was in charge. The con
ductor came forward after minute or
two to see what the trouble was. The
driver knew well, and told the extra
that he had collected fare and had
not rung his bell punch. At this the
conductor did ring, and old Stonewall
jackson shook his head as much as to
say, You can't fool me, and started
off on a trip without word from the
driver.-Chicago Herald.

A Brown PAPER Parcel.

Elevated train guards not infrequent-
ly find things in their cars, but finds of
money are rare. Some them have
been kicking themselves for months
over an incident that occurred one
morning as number of them were en-
route to One Hundred and Fifty fifth
street to go on duty, As usual, they
were seated in a group in the hast car.
lndulging in chat. One of their num-
Der spied brown paper parcel on an
adjoining seat. 1t was greasy, and
looked about as ordinary as such a
parcel can look.
"Hellol" cried this penetrating
guard, heres some Eyetalian's
lunch, and with that he hurled the
brown paper mass at the head of the
man opposite him. In like manner
the parcel was passed back again, and
the fun was kept up until the end of
the trip, when it was suggested that it
be presented to the starter with the
mems compliments. The starter took
the matter seriously, opened the par
eel carefully, and then thanked the
men gravely for giving it to him,
There was 81, 500 in the greasy brown
paper, but the starter said he felt
obliged to hold on to it until the
owner called for it, which he did the
next day. Train men now invariably
inspect brown paper parcels with par
ucularlty.-New York Sun.

A New Canal System.

A new system of canal construction
has been designed and recently patent
ed by an Englishman. The object is
to do away entirely with the necessity
for steam or horse power in canal
traffic, and this end is sought to be at
tanned by the creation of a current of
water strong enough to carry the boats
along from point to point. Mr.. Pick
ard has designed double canal, at
one end Of which is screw, resemb-
ling the propeller of a steamship. This
screw, which is worked by steam
power, forces the current in one direc-
ton and causes it to return in the par
allel division of the canal, the direction
Of the current being reversible at will.
By this arrangement all loss of water
is obviated and the bed of the canal is
kept clean. This current is, of course,
confined to each separate level OF
canal. and when locks intervene an
other current has to be created.

The Cohra,s Revenge.

It is commonly believed among the

vengeful than the cobra, and that if u

its mate, it never rests until it has
wreaked vengeance. An employee OF
the Madras Railway company, while
seated on the veranda of his bungalow.
observed two large cobras on the bar
rem plain Immediately in front of the
house. Aiming himself with a sharp
cutlass, he sailed forth and succeeded
in killing one of the reptiles, but the
other, although wounded, made its
escape. He then returned to his bun
galow, and, later in the day, prepared
to dress, when he was Mortified to see

and had all he could do to escape.
This had such an effect on his mind
that he made application for change

full cobra actually attacked him one
evening while at tea and bit him on
the leg. The other guests killed tho
