In the Irish dirges and laments there
is great similarity to the music of the
west highlands, only the Irish music
having been written in most instances
for the harp-which has all the notes of
the voice--is a music of full and sweet
harmonies and has not the omissions
and deficiencies of the pentatonic scale
in which all music for the pipes was
written. While the melancholy of the
Celtic people finds adequate expression
in these laments-plaintive, wailing airs,
something between recitative and mel
ody-another and not less characteristic
side of the Irish temperament is very
truthfully illustrated in their songs of
humor.
About these there is an inimitable raci-
ness, a fresh and sparkling wit, spon-
taneous ring of chaff and fun, with a
dash of chivalrous sentiment and an airy
hghtness which gives to them the unmis-
taxable Hibernian accent and to which
there is no exact counterpart in the
songs of England or Standardization

Its Song Is Like the riling of a Saw

Of the Acadian owl, one Of the rarest
of New England birds, Audubon says:
"This little owl is known in Massachu-
sets by the name of the saw whet,' the
sound of its love notes bearing great
resemblance to the noise produced by
filing the teeth of a large saw. These
notes, when coming, as they frequently
do, from the interior of deep forest,
produce a very peculiar effect on the
traveller, who, not being aware of their
real nature, expects as he advances on
his route to meet with shelter under a
sawmill at no great distance. Until I
shot the bird in the act I had myself
been more than once deceived in this
manner

Ba,tea For Catflsh ana Caught an owl.

A man of unquestioned veracity
vouches for the truth of this fish story;
His friend, who lives few miles in the
country, set line for catfish one day.
In the morning when he went after the
fish he found them in abundance, and
on one line he found large owl that
must have been terror to birds and
fishes when alive. The line was wound
around the body and the neck of the
owl, and the fish bore marks of the owls
talons, showing that the owl had caught
the fish after the hook had caught it,
and in its efforts to fly away with the
fish it had been ensnared by the line,
after which the fish had its inning by
drowning the owl.
AT any rate the owl was dead, and the
fish, though disfigured, was still in the
swim and playing the line with vigor
that caused the line to bob Up and down
with the irregularity of the cotton mar
ket. The drowned owl is on exhibition
as a witness to the truth of the story,
and the fish, though the finest of the
catch, escaped the frying pan. and now
has steady job as an owl catcher. The
fisher set him for owls.-Valdosta Cor

The Thumb.

Thumbs have been appreciated ever
since the world began. The ancients
used to call the thumb the other hand.
Barbarous kings used to swear and make
conlpacts by their thumbs. In Rome it
was sign of favor to wiring and kiss the
thumb, and of disfavor or disgrace to
lift them up or turn them outward. A
man who was hurt in his thumbs was
excused from serving in the Roman wars.
Some of the scoundrelly citizens used to
cut off their thumbs, SO as to remain
home and get rich. Teachers used to
punish their pupils by biting their
thumbs.
The thumb is a great and influential
member. / can look at the thumb of
young woman and describe her figure. ]

plump and round; whether her joints
are large and i'll shapen, or small and
perfectly proportional. By examining
