TRIUMPH OF THE ALTO.

| She Knew the Soprano Would Have to
| Get Screen to Keep the Flies Out.
"From all envy, hatred and malice,
good Lord, deliver US, slowly continued
the minister.
"Good Lord, deliver u.s." echoed the
congregation.
1t was day of triumph for the So
prano of the choir.
All the city folks who were passing
she summer in cool Berryville were in
the congregation, and the alto, her
deadly enemy, had such a cold that she
could not sing a note.
So she scared aloft in highest notes of
gladstone praise, while the unfortunte
alto sat upon the back bench in the
choir loft, consumed with envy that even
her dampest tears could not quench.
''Glory be for evermore!" droned the
bass with gusto.
"Glory be for evermorei" shrilled the
tenor with fervor.
Then the soprano took it up, took up
the glad strain, "Glory be forever
morel' Took it up and held it fondly;
took it up and played with it among the
lower notes. Snatched it again from the
deeps and ran up the vocal scale with it
in her teeth, throwing it out above the
heads of the enraptured congregation
and catching it again before 1t could
strike bottom, as she swept up the scale
and over the measures in triumphant
joy. 1t was a day of triumph for her
indeed.
Again she took up the fervid cry,
'Glory be forevermorei" Striking the
lowest note in her compass, she glorious
ly rolled up the chromatic scale with the
p@an of -up-up-up-with her
swaying head far back, her straining
eyes half closed, her mouth round and
open with the full crescendo of the
pouring food Of melody. Up-up-up-
higher and higher, till the air quivered
in unison and the souls of the listeners
lost themselves in ecstasy. Up-up-
up
Then suddenly, without warning:

face and fell backward into the choir
chairs behind the green curtains in front
of the loft.
The minister glared wildly from his
place, hanging over the pulpit's edge.
The entire congregation rose as one
man to leap upon the pew seats and
strain into the unknown horror with
bursting eyes.
The Press representative dashed out
the side door on dead run for the tele-
graph Office to wire in the death Of a
choir singer from bursted blood vessel.
When from the deathly stiffness which
hung over the fatal loft came Kissing
whisper that stung the farthest ear dis
tinctly.

deedl told her once that if she would
open her mouth like that in the summer
time she'd have to get screen door to

It was the altos voice.

pany--This suit has been brought for
the purpose of determining the right of
the defendant to take water from the
Los Angeles river and to recover the sum
OF $225, 900 the value of the water so
taken by defendant during the past three
years.
]. @. Zahn VS.. city of Los Angeles. =
This suit has just been brought against
the city, and is brought to recover dam
ages in the amount of $500, alleged to
have been caused to plaintiffs property
by the flood of Decemsqr, 1890.
Los Angeles Cemetery association vs.
city.-This suit has just been filed and
is an action to recover damages claimed
to have been caused to plaintiffs prop
erty by the grading of First street. The
action is the same as a former action
brought by the plaintiff against the
city, hereinbefore referred to, the plain
tiff having been nonsuited in the for
mer action.
The following is summary of the
cases prosecuted in the police courts by
me for the year ending November 80,
| 1890:
For drunkenness, 1151; for other
offences, 305; total number of cases,
1856. Number of convictions had, 1881 !;
number found not guilty, 49, number
dismissed, 13; number pending, 13.
Total amount of fines collected, 1928 80.
Total number of days imprisonmentim-
posed, 3343.
Nothing is included in the foregoing
list except violations of city ordinances.
A considerable sum has been realized
from fines imposed for violations OF the
state law, but as these offences are pros
ecuted by the district attorney they are
excluded from the above summary.
In addition to the foregoing, the city
attorney has prepared several hundred
ordinances, has drawn all contracts
necessary and has prepared numerous
written opinions for the council and the
officers cf the city.

People who Did Not XIII

The inhabitants of the Canary islands,
the Guanches, were, it is supposed, but
the mountain shepherds of a submerged
world. Though so strong physically, the
Guanches were, nevertheless. very
gentle race; they rarely made. war ON
one another, and when the Europeans,
fell into their hands they did not kill
them, but sent them to tend Sheep in
the mountains So tame were the birds
in this happy land, that when the Span
iards first landed they came and fed out
of their hands.
To kill an animal degraded a man; the
butcher was reprieved criminal and
outcast, and lived apart, he and, his as
sistants being supported by the state.
No woman was allowed TO approach the
shambles, and in such horror was killing
held by these giants that no man could
be ennohled until he had publicly de
clared that he had not been guilty o1
killing any animal, not even goat
Their standard of morality was high
robbery was almost unknown among
them.-St. Louis Star Sayings.

A Big Insect.

The biggest insect Of it's kind in the
world is the Hercules beetle of South
America, which grows to be six inches
in length. 1t is said, whether truthfully
or not, that great numbers of these
creatures are sometimes seen on the
mammaea tree, rasping the rind from
the slender branches by working around
them with their horns until they cause
the juice to flow. This juice they drink
to intoxication. and thus fall senseless
to the ground. New York journal.
