Harris leading vocalists are to be paid
a sum exceeding in the aggregate 20, 900
golden sovereigns, and that the Covent

within seventy years salaries have in
creased nearly tivefold.

after all, did not come to England),
Nilsson, Di Murska, Scalchi, Vanzini,
Sinico Tanberlik, Mongini, Stanley,

Others Mr.. Mapleson has stated that
the salary list was only 922, 600, so that
in twenty-five years it has nearly
doubled. To the fees of the chief art
lists must be added the pay of the band
and conductors, who cost nearly e6OO
a week; of the chorus, carpenters, SUI
pers and attendants the cost of new
scenery, dresses, properties and APP
pointments, rent and advertisements.

and he handed me model of the
mouth of a well known man about
town, who is rather noted for his good
teeth. There were but three roots of
teeth in the mouth. Two were on the
left side and one on the right side of
the mouth. TO these roots he had at
tached gold and built up twelve teeth
that are as firm in the mouth and as
convenient as the original teeth.
1t was done by soldering gold to the
gold attached to the three roots and
running it round TO the front of the
mouth. Then on the front side of this
gold the porcelain teeth are so well at

Some rude masonry was disclosed to
view while cutting the lot of D. A. Pur-
Vance, on North Jefferson street, Hunt
ington, Ind, to proper level. About
six feet below the natural surface of the
earth pile of stones was encountered
which seemed to have been laid with a
purpose. They formed an irregular
hemispherical mass about feet in diam
eter and feet high, beneath which were
formed layers of tagging, each layer
formed by fiagstone inches thick, 6
feet wide and feet long Below the
mass OF masonry and the fagstones was
an empty vault. The stones were of the
limestone variety and were kind that
is never found in this vicinity unless
they have been brought here. What the
structure had been intended for is a
mystery but it is thought to have been
the work of the mound builders. Gin

Frogs, 90 and Trenehmen.

People are usually inclined to regard
that toothsome Wand known as frogs
legs as a dish peculiar to the French.
and more than once unfriendly indi-
viduals have alluded to that country
as a nation of frog eaters.
For this reason | was surprised the
other day while dining at a modest lit
tie Partisan restaurant in the French
quarter of this city to find that out of
a party of four French people, two
ladies and two gentlemen, there were
two who had never tasted the succu-
lent white meat peculiar to the hind
legs of the gentle bullfrog. More than
that, neither could be persuaded to
taste the dish at all, although it was
served la poulette and cooked to per-

Among the bills introduced into select
council was one by Mr.. Beasley to
change the name Of Market street to
Central avenue and Broad street to Lin

thought there should be some fitting

The floating Gardens of Cashmere.

The floating Gardens of Cashmere.
The thousands of floating gardens on
the rivers of Cashmere are formed by
long sedges which are woven together
in the form of gigantic mat. These
sedge grasses, flags, stalks, lilies, etc,
are woven on the river or lake banks
while their roots are still growing in
the slime underneath; the required
amount of earth is then superimposed
upon the mat; the stalks are then cut
and the mat and its load is a full
fiedged floating garden" They are
usually about 20 by so yards in extent,
seldom larger the full depth of the
mat and its earthly covering being about
three feet. A dishonest Cashmiri will
sometimes tow his neighbours garden
away from its moorings and sell the
produce of the others toll. The writer
has frequently seen one of the largest
OF these miniature gardens being towed
by two men in rowboat which hardly
looked larger than one of the luscious
melons serenely reposing on the float

Captain Benjamin Whitaker Orr, of
Shellman, is one of the most popular
men in tins section, and besides, he is
quite an original character. He was
born in Washington county in 1915, and
is therefore rs years old. Captain Orr now
has his fifth wife. He says that marriage
is by no means failure, and that he
never intends to keep house without a
wife; that there are plenty of women,
and that Deity made woman for man,
and every man should have him wife.
He is rather rough on old maids and
bachelors-most especially the latter.
He has the suit in which he was first
married, and has frequently loaned it to
other parties for the same purpose.
Captain Orr lives in the past, and his
interesting "reminiscences of the old times
