why Stamm ,rsrs Are Able t, Sing.

Stammering depends on a want of
harmony between the action of the
muscles Chiefly abdominaD which expel
air through the larynx aud that Of the
muscles which guard the oridce by which
it escapes with that of those which
modulate the sound to the form of
speech. Over either Of the groups OF
muscles by itself stammerer may have
as much power as other people, but he
cannot harmoniously arrange their con-
Joint action. Nervousness is a frequent
cause Of stammering. 1t is possible that
the defect in some instances may result
from malformation of the parts about the
back Of the mouth. The fact that STAN
meriug people are able to sing their
words better than to speak them has
been usually explained on the supposi'
ton that in singing the glottis is kept
open so that there is less liability to
spasmodic action.-Brooklyn Eagle.

AFlsh That Builds Hous s.

In Lake Nyassa, Africa, there IS
curious little black fish which builds a
breeding house every year. Ia the
bottom mud OF the lake it scoops out a
basin two or three feet in diameter,
heaping up the mud removed from the
hole so as to form wall around the
margin. In this lake within lake this
queer little fish erects mud house
about fourteen inches across at the
bottom, rapidly coming to a point in
the shape Of broad cone. A hole about
four inches in diameter, always on the
south side, serves as an opening for
egress and ingress. A dried specimen
of this queer piscatorial domicile pre-
served in the Royal Museum at Berlin
has two doors and mud wall separating
the .'dwelling" into two rooms,-Nev

Tortoise Shell.

The greater part of the tortoise shell
used in the manufacture OF hsirpins,
combs and other articles both for the
toilet and for decorative purposes is i'm
ported from the East and West Indies
and is worth in the rough state frou
81. so to So per pound. The price varies
according to the thickness of the-shell,
not according to the making, as is gen.
orally thought to be the case. The
quantity reaching the market is always
about the same, as the turtles deposit
their eggs on the sand, and the natives,
who consider them great delicacy, take
all they can find, so that only small
per cent. Of those laid are ever Matched.
This she'll does not melt, but YIELDS like
iron, aud when soft is pressed into the
desired shape aud the carving is done.
Objects of tortoise she'll, when broken,
can be mended so the repairing will be
quite invisible. Canton faunel-not
chamois skin, as it contains too much oil
should be used to rub combs, lorg-
nettes, ETC., and if frequently applied the
polish will remain bright for long time.
Combs OF tortoise are said by good
authority to be better for the hair than
either rubber, bone or ceIluloid, and
women who have used them for years
assure me it would be quito impossible
for them to dress their hair with any
other kind. In time these combs almost
seem to become a part Of ones self, to
partake OF the owners personality as far
as any inauimate object possibly can.-

A Paradoxical Amin al.

One of the most peculiar creatures
known to the student Of oddities in
natural history is the ornithorhyn-
chus of Australia, that 'land of in
verted order" It lays eggs like a
bird, suckles its young like other
mammals, and in general appear
ance and habits resembles the beaver
of this country and Europe. One
variety of the ornithorhynchus is
covered with hair, has webbed feet
and a bill like a duck. Another and
larger species has a large hooked
bill like curlew, but in all other re-
spects Except its peculiar egg laying
habits is perfect porcupine, quilts
and all
The first specimens of this curious
creature sent to the United States
were consigned to the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, New York,
in 1884. A year later Professor H.
A. Ward, the great Rochester On. W
naturalist, secured thirty fine speci-
mems of little ornithorhynchi, which
he says "are the most paradoxical
products Of a paradoxical country. "

sides this, great frmness and strength,
and chair of rattan could be thrown
from an express train and picked up
intact. Rattan is therefore used for
such articles as baskets and lighter

ter adapted for working up into in

HOMESiCkNESS.

II should leave my home, and go away
To pass year and day
Mid other scenes. should not early find
That had left behind
A portion of my life's felicity
Which could not follow me?
And If, when the allotted time had passed,
Iturned my steps at last
To enter at the old familiar door
OF kindly home once more,
Might not learn what my heart had sought,
With back returning thought,
Was missing still-in homes securest spot
And could find it not?
Might not vainly wander to and fro,
Seeking again to know
That fond completeness of felicity
Which could not follow me?
All, yes! and If q longing soul In heaven
Free passport might be given
To come again and tread earths weary soil
With feet unused to toll
To leave the converse OF eternity,
And linger lovingly
Der earth's poor haunts, the Fairgrounds of
those years
Whose smiles were dimmed with tears,
So would 1t find that nothing here below
Was what it used to know
That all the peace which memory had cast
Around the cherished past,
All the familiar kindly home delight
Had vanished from it quite.
Soon would it spread its wings with sigh Of
pain
Too thankful to retain
The power of entering heavens open door
And leaving nevermore.
Let us not weep then, though we lose the light
That made this earth so bright
Though all the single sunbeams, one by one,
Be gathered to the sun;
Assured that there, in fullness rich and free,
They will restored be,
And home, the dearest name that we can
know
On weary earth below,
Shall be a mother wholly reconciled
To each desponding child.
