Her singing was received so favorably by the French critics that Manager Harris, who by the grace of her majesty Queen Victoria is entitled to the prefix, "sir," rushed over to Nice and engaged Mme Brazzi for the Covent Gar den season.
 Stella Brazor, when she was a child in Brattleboro, was known to the townspeo- pie as n sort of musical prodigy. At the age of 6 sho began to study the piano and soon became a proficient performer. It was not at that time suspected that her voice was unusually good. When she was 13, she sang in the quartet choir ill one of the churches and continued there until 1888. She then left for Europe with her husband. They sought out the famous Signor Sbriglia and the equally celebrated M. Pluque. Tho former was given charge of the training of her voice, while the latter instructed her in elocution and acting. She also devoted herself assiduously to the acquisition of French and Italian, in both of which languages, as well as in English, she is able to sing any one of the 25 operas of her reportory. After nearly six years with Sbriglia and Pluque, Mme Brazzi made her experimental debut in "La Fla vorita" at Bordeaux. She was successful and was immediately engaged for the long season at Nice.

Some Little Economies.

The pretty shirt fronts of embroidered muslin and insertion, so dainty, yet so high priced, have set many nimble fin gers to work, as most young women pre- fer to make them for themselves. To further this object many of the best shopkeepers sell now by the yard com binations of tueks, needlework, inser- tions and tiny lace ruffles, which are from 10 to 12 inches wide, and when bordered on each side with plain muslin and finished with band at the throat and drawing string at the waist line complete the garment.
 To make an entire bodice two lengths of the band are required, one for front and one for the back, and little skill is required to adjust them to the figure by the aid of the plain sheer muslin which forms the rest of the bodice Dotted white swiss and plain white yorgandies are now being made up by fashionable dressmakers for summer gowns over slips of colored silk An economical mother with several we'll dressed daugh- ters has had the slips made of colored silesia and entirely separate from the gown-a slip and low bodice of yellow silesia, one of pale pink and one of cool green are among those recently made up, and the soft and 1ustror1s effect of silk is perfectly well simulated in the silesia. at one-third tho cost. --Vogue:

Ewing the Bird.

The common game of pinning, while blindfolded, tail on picture of a donkey is assumed to be modern in- vention, and is, in fact, new to most people. It is, however, only modifica tion of an older game, very common on shipboard, called "eying the bird. !"
 This is played thus: On the deck of a ship is chalked a picture which repre- sents a bird Not infrequently the con- temptation of the picture alone is well worth participation i'll the game, on ac count of it's extraordinary want of re- semblance to bird.
 This bird is left without an eye. One player is then blindfolded and given piece of chalk. He is turned around once a few yards away from the pic ture, and then told to make q circular mark as near as possible to the place where the birds eye ought to be.
 The players peregrinatiotls afford much amusement to the others present. Often he starts iii quite the wrong di- rection, but may be warned by the oth- ers' laughter and reverse his course
 Sometimes he makes straight for the birds head, but is diverted from his course by lurch of the ship. After he has made his mark the bandage is re- moved and he is permitted to see how many yards away from the bird he has placed the eye.
 Then another player is blindfolded, and the game proceeds until each has had his turn. There is prize for the player who has come nearest to the eye and ill rare cases 1t has been known to be correctly placed - and a "booby prize' for the one who has marked far thest away.
 This game can be played on any large floor space, but is lent additional inter est by the rolling movement of ship. Youth s Companion.

 CHANCELLOR HOUSE, Spottsylvania County, Va, July 2.-Thirty two years have rolled rapidly away since this quaint old mansion was the focus of nations painful interest and the center of a most curlously shaped battlefield, but the land scape is unchanged. ''In no other part of Virginia that know" says MT. Vespasian Chancellor lis the situation so exactly liko it was in war times. There is still the same dense forest stretching two miles eastward, and beyond it forest and field in alternating narrow strips to and beyond Salem church.

Beyond that arc Wilderness church, the Dowdall House and Hawkins farm, all celebrated in tho alleged histories of the battle-allcgcd, I say, for I think I can prove to any jury of soldiers that no real history Of ChancellorsVille has ever been written.
