The madimba had been called the
African piano. 1t is made of calabashes

Each board represents note or half

In France, and not fow eminent actors

which were always at call when no

touch bis stolid audience no resorted TO
the most impudent piece OF trickcry.
Thrusting his moistoned white handker-
chief into his pocket he demanded if the
jurors were men, if thoy had human
hearts, if they could bring themselves TO
condemn follow man like the accused,
whom he had credited with all sorts Of
chlyalrous if not sanity merits.
His oloquUnce was not merely fruitlcss,
but the jury responded to it at first with
uneasy shufllng, then with biting lips
and finally with loud and uncontrolled
bursts of laughter. Lakeland, whio fling
ing about his hands had Intentionally
dipped his fingers into tho great inkpot
in front OF him, and as no drew his right
hand across bis forehead, as if in agony Of
despair at the certain fate OF the accused,
he left upon his brow an enormous black

Baby sympathy.

Mr.. Sully, in his interesting and popu-
lar book on " Studies of Children" devotes
good portion of his attention to the
origin of sympathy in their hearts and is
disposed, we think, to ascribe more of it
To imitativeness than we should think
reasonable. For example, ho tells us the
following very interesting story, adding n
remark, of which we should question the
truth, that concerns all such stories:
"a baby, aged year and 2 months,
was crawling on the floor. An elder sis
tor, Katherine, aged Is, who was working
at "a wool mat, could not get ON very well
and began TO cry. Baby looked up and
grunted, On! onr and kept drawing it's
fingers down its own checks. Here the
aunt called Miss Katherines attention to
baby, u device which merely caused fresh
outburst of tears. Wheroupon baby pro-
ceoded to hitch itself along to Katherine
with many repetitions of tho grunts and
the mimetic finger movements. Katherine,
fairly overcome by this, took baby to her
and smiled, ut which baby began to clap
its hands and to crow, tracing this time
the course of the tears down its sister $
cheeks. This pretty nursery picture GER
tainly seems to illustrate u rudiment of
genuine fellow feeling. Similarly it is
hard not to recognize the signs OF u sincere
concern when child of runs spontane-
ously and kisses the place that is hurt,
even though it is not to be doubted that
the graceful action has been learned
