The prospects for a successful vocal organ
| ization in Ravenna appear to be excellent
That the singers of the town are desirous of
| forming such Society was agreeably mani
fest by about fifty of them assembling at
Royal Arcanum Hall last Wednesday night
and effecting an organization preliminary to
| what is hoped will result in permanent
association, embodying the essential features
of the former Philharmonic Society, once
the pride of the community. While this is
the object of ultimate attainment the work
will be conducted for the present under an
organization of limited conventionality,
equipped merely with sufficient official ma
chinery to provide for its maintenance,
growth and the practical prosecution of its
plans. The idea is to proceed under the
| present arrangement until some time in May
of the coming spring, when a miscellaneous
concert will be given, and if the zeal and IN
terest still continue to justify it, permanent
Society, with constitution and bylaws, Will
be organized under IA proper name. In the
meantime the capabilities and desrabilities
of those participating in the present move
ment will have been ascertained, and final
action can thus be intelligently taken.
Once again. IN behalf of those engaged in
the work, we desire to impress upon the cit.
izens of the place the Importance of giving
their unstinted support to a vocal society of
this character and magnitude. Nothing re-
fleets greater credit upon community than
its ability and willingness to sustain a first
class vocal society, and surely nothing af
| fOrdS finer entertainment or higher privi-
leges of cultured enjoyment. Its reflex in
fuence is alone ample apology for whatever
assistance it may ask from the public. 1t
PAYS any town or community to maintain
and stimulate the growth of such organiza-
| tions, and we are certain that what Ravenna
has done in the past she can and will do in
the future. Every singer in the city is ear
| nestls invited to lend his or her aid to the
project by joining the organization and at
tending its rehearsaIs. which, until further
notice, will be held at Arcanum Hall, in the
Sontum block, every Monday evening, at
| 80 o'clock.
The first regular meeting subsequent to
organization was held last Monday night, at
the hour and place above mentioned, the
singing being conducted by j. B. Jewell.

"A Cockatoo's Peculiar Within,

In the exhibit of Mile. Mariska Mix
losy, attached to Hagenbeck's trained
animal show, there is cockatoo that
appears to have an aversion to Old Eng
land. One Of the features which help
to make Mile. Miklosy's trained cock
atoos a welcome item on the pro-
gramme consists of the hosting of a
number of national flags. The third
flag to be hoisted is that of Great Brit
ain: Until recently the patriarch of
Mile. Miklosy's flock, one ''Gringoire, !"
did the hosting. Recently, however,
another cockatoo, name2 "Vert-Vert, -
has been doing the work instead.
"Vert-Vert" does his work splendidly,
except in one instance. At every per-
Torrance he positively refuses to hoist
the English Union Jack" Neither
threats nor brides can induce him tc

Medical Electricity.

While electricity has been part and
parcel of certain classes of medical
treatment for many years. but few rep
utable physicians protested to know
exactly what it did and why it cured,
or was said to cure, disease. There
was something mysterious in the buzz
ing and tingling that accompanied its
employment, and possibly the absorb
ton of the mind and the idea that
some unknown power was working in
the system did as much good as any
other form of treatment. OF late, how
ever, there have been some important
discoveries in this line, and as a result
the action of electricity is utilized to
disseminate or drive into the system
various remedial agents that produce
given effects. AS the current passes
through or along the body, it carries
with it the element that is to be incor-
porated with the tissues, and in this
way has fixed and perceptible action.

Trades Unionism In China.

The Chinese trades unions can trace
their history back for more than four
thousand years. The Chinaman does
not discuss with his employer what he
is to receive for the work he does; he
simply takes what he considers fair
and proper remuneration. He levies
toll on every transaction, according to
laws laid down by his trades union. and
without for a moment taking into con-
sideration what his employer may con-
slider proper. He is, therefore, says a
correspondent of the Philadelphia Tel
egraph, generally called thief, but he
is acting under due guarantees. in
obedience to laws that are far better
observed and more strict than any the
police have been able to impose.

Strangulation . Coveted Honor.

Strangnlation is considered an honor
able death, in China, and very much
mercy is thought to be shown the con-
demned in permitting it instead of de-
capitation. This, because the method
does not involve mutilation of the body,
which, to the Chinese mind, IS the height
of disgrace in death, since the body in
recomposing itself in the spirit world
may get head or members not be-
longing to it. 1t is not unusual to see
women put to death by strangulation;
in such cases the frail creature is held
down by two brutal ruffians while a
third hend at her back is slowly twist
ing cord which runs around her neck
and forces out tongue and eyeballs.

Among the most curious Of Queen
Victoria's perquisites is her right to
every whale or sturgeon captured on

Norman kings, and it appears that in
the case Of the whale the monsters

and his consort. the queen taking the
head in order that her wardrobes
might be replenished with the whale

majesty" if he conforms to ancient
tradition and usage, should present her

Another class of royal purveyors is
