Would Cost the British Government &1,-
 100000 to Change Their Pitch.
 The British army bands use the high pitch. the queens regulations running as follows: "In order to insure uni formity throughout the reg.mental bands of the service the instruments are to be of the same pitch as that adopted by the Philharmonic society. The Philharmonic society has recently decided to adopt the lower pitch, and, accordingly, theo taaReen's regulations will doubtless have to be amended. It is estimated by competent authority that the cost of altering the instru- ments of the army bands to the lower pitch would amount to between 2OO,- 900 and { 100000; but it is more than doubtful if any chancellor of the ex- chequer would spend so large sum for such purpose.

When he was killing and dress ing them the following strange occur renee ytranspired: As he went wiring the neck of one of the birds the head slipped off in his hand, pulling about two inches of skin and feathers along with it.
 Turning a moment later to pick ur the bird from where he had thrown ir. the gentleman found the little fellow lying and hopping about as though nothing untoward had happened, his bare neck sticking up gaunt and head less.
 Thinking the birds activity resulted from posthumus contraction of the muscles the gentleman attempted to pick him up, when the little fellow mounted in the air and flew away, f1ut- tering and quiyering now and then, but when about 2o1 yards from the house he disappeared into a small pine thicket, flying. to the last
