Musical Tones.

A stringed instrument suspended in a
favorable position near pianoforte will
sound when tones corresponding to the
open strings are produced on the piano
forte. The volume of the answering
tone will depend upon atmospheric con-
ditions, the quality and color of the per
suading tone and the sensitiveness of the
responding material. There is famil-
lar anecdote told of famous tenor, who
by singing the tone that was consonant
with that of a wineglass, could make the
glass shiver so violently that it would
fall to pieces. It is because of this tonal
sympathy that the cause of harsh, rat
ting tone that may suddenly appear in a
pianoforte is detected with difficulty
Though it may appear to be in the in
strument, it is often far away and may
come from loose globe or pendant on a
chandelier. Even key in a door has
been known to be the guilty cause.-St

Origin of the Peach.

Nothing is now more universally ac-
cepted than re fact that the peach is ain
improved variety of the almond. The
almond has a thin shell around the
stone, which splits open and shows the
stone when mature. This outer skin
has simply become feshy in the peach,
50 that it is all that gives it its specific
character. It seems now clear from in
vestigation in the history of ancient
Babylon that in their gardens, nearly
1000 years ago, the peach was cultivated
then as it now is.
1t must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes to show
the great antiquity of che fruit. Possibly
gardening in some respects, at least so
far as it relates to many of our cultivated
fruits, was as far advanced 5000 or 5000
or perhaps 10000 years back as it is to-
day.
Phenicians, many thousands of years
ago, as is proved by the records, had in
their gardens almonds, apricots, bananas,
citrons, figs, grapes, olives, peaches,
pomegranates; and even sugar cane was
in extensive cultivation. Certainly this
shows how far advanced these nations
were in garden culture many years ago.

A Tender Handed Tramp.

Robert James Gordon, casual, de-
clined to break stone in return for food
and shelter at the Newcastle workhouse,
and doubtless much to the surprise of
the workhouse authorities successfully
resisted the proceedings taken against
him for that act of subordination. Be-
ing called on in the Newcastle police
court to explain his refusal, Mr.. Gordon,
who appears to be an educated man and
is described as speaking logically and
huently." asked the bench to consider
what such work meant to a man like
him.
His hands would, he said, become
quite lacerated, and were he cle,tk or a
tailor tn result would be that jn search,
ing for employment afterwa1 d he would
be unable to follow it. In the case of a
shorthand writer, too, he, asked how he
would be able to write 1870 words per
minute if his hands We're mangled in the
way they assuredly would be after break
ing tom of stone. His chances of gain
ing work were thus minimized, and he
submit ted respectfully" that accord
ing to la w the master of the workhouse
did not use any Of the discretion which
the regul atiOns> directed him to use.
After the magistrates had consulted
together for some time, the chairman
stated t hat the bench could not agref
upon decision, and that the defendant
would thus get the benefit of the circum.
stance. Personally, he added, he should
certainly have punished him, but his col
league being of different opinion they
had concluded to dismiss the case.-Lon-

Cold and Gloomy Surroundings and .
--~ Scanty Bill of Fare.
We reached the Trappist refectory. A
great cold room, with whitewashed
walls and five long, narrow tables, with
benches on each side, stretching from
end to end, was the place where the
monks took their very frugal meals
The tables were laid for the first meal
There were no cloths, and it is almost
needless to add that there were no nap
kins, although these are considered 80
essential in France that even in the most
wretched auberge one is usually laid be-
fore the guest. Trappists, however, have
little need Of them.
At each place we're a wooden spoon
and fork, plate, a jug of water, and
another jug-asmaller one-of beer, and
a porringer for soup, which is the chief
diet of the Trappists. Very thin soup it
is, the ingredients being water, chopped
vegetables, bread and little oil or but
ter.
Until few years ago no oily matter,
whether vegetable or animal, was al
lowed in the soup, nor was it permissi-
BILE, except in case of sickness, to have
more than one meal day, but the ne
cessity of relaxing the rule a little was
realized. Now. during the six summer
months of the year, there are two meals
day-namely, at II and 6, but in win
ter there is still only one that is called a
meal, and this is at A. There is, how
ever, gouter-just something to keep
the stomach from collapsing-at 10 in
the morning. No fish, nor flesh, nor ami
NAL product, except cheese and butter,
is eaten by these Trappists unless they
fall III, and then they have meat or any
thing else that they may need to make
them well. There is, however, very lit
tie sickness among them.
The living of each Trappist probably
costs no more than sixpence day to the
community. Assuming that the money
brought into the common fund by those
whs have private fortune the fathers,
as rule, are men of some independent

penses, and the taxation imposed by the
state, there must remain considerable
profit on the work of each individual,

rounds, after which the gun is unfit for
further service. The 81 ton gun, 138 inch
bore, will fire 1877 rounds, and the 45

rounds before becoming useless. The
cost of the British 10 ton gun is 49,,

THE LAWYERS VISION
A Rsmarkabie Instance of Physical suffer-
LIZ. .,.,.i .i.a H.. -. e...a.,..

A Remarkable instance of Physical suffer-
Ing and Thought Transference.
The Popolo Romano relates the fol-
lowing authentic fact, without giving
more than the initial of the person to
whom it occurred, a distinguished young
lawyerof literary reputation, who stated
that he could not give the most remote
explanation of it: Some years since, on
hot summer afternoon, the Advocate
A., together with his wife and two
children, left their house in Via Gaeta at
6 O'clock precisely for an evening walk.
He was in good health and spirits, but
just as they crossed the street he was
suddenly seized with shock through his
whole body, which caused all the blood
to leave his face and obliged him to sup
port himself against the wall. His wife
in alarm assisted him to steady himself,
anxiously asking what was the matter.
HE recovered himself speedily and was
able to continue the, walk, only describ-
ing an unaccountable> perturbation and
humming in his ears. The evening
breeze and exercise gradually Gained
and revived him, and he completely re-
gained his'usual frame. They went to
visit some friends and then rested at a
cafe, when toward half past II o'clock q
storm which had been gathering began
the first blasts of wind, and they hurried
home. Scarcely arrived indoors, the
Advocate A hurried to remove some
fowerpots from a balcony over the
street, taking a lamp with him. The
wind extinguished the light, so he had
to continue his operations in the dark,
only illuminated now and then by the
lightning flashes. He was just lifting
the last flower vase, an ornamental one
given him by his mother, when he was
startled by seeing a kind of black veil
waving upward close in front of him,
which, as it rose, assumed human form.
Very much disturbed, he Immediately
related the strange appearance to his
wife, and the perturbation before expe-
rienced again overcame him, leaving
him unable to sleep all night. Early in
the morning came telegram from his
brother at Ferrara stating that their
mother had been suddenly seized with
cerebral syncope the previous evening at
o'clock and had expired at midnight,
just as the Advocate A had seen the
black veil vanish into space"
