THE IDEA OF MURDER.
As Evolved ia the Minds of DeEen-
crate Men.


Whoever has studied in its particu-
lars the history Of the past knows well
that human ferocity is an unfathom-
able abyss. Who could eIumeTate all
the means invented by men to eXter-
inmate each other in turn, from the
spear and the yataghan to shrapnel,
from hemlock TO prUssic acid, from
Greek fire to dynamite? Were we to
try and calculate. even roughly. the
number of human beings who have died
a violent death ~ the hands of their
own kind. even during that period alone
which has elapsed since ;he dawn Of
history. the total reached would be un-
doubtedly moustrous. Nor must we be
blinded as to the feelings Of our an
cestors by the growth of a certain gen
tleness of manners which has for
scarcely a century past been refining
human society in Europe; one Of our
ancestors chief amUsements consisted
in the destruction Of other men-the
determination Of other human beings.
Homicide has been al all times. in all
forms and under all conditions. individ-
ual and collective. fierce passion of the
human race. "a most common incident Of
everyday life. inspiring no one with any
feeling of horror whatsoever II is suf-
ficient TO recall the fact that among peo-
PIE who reached a noteworthy stage of
civilization. such as the Romans. war
which is a systematic homicide. or. in
other words. homicide reduced to n
science, could be regarded as iiran-
cial speculation and perfectly legiti-
mate one for the educated classes to en-
gage in; and that what is called history
is little more than an interminable Sc
ries Of murders. individual and collect

Much interest has been awakened in
England by the discovery of a prehis-
toric lake village near Glastonbury.
The dwellings were placed on MOUNDS
of clay raised above the level of the
water The framework Of n primitive
loom was found under one mound. and
the number of broken bone needles and
bone splinters discovered in ancthe:
mound led the explorers TO think that
it may have been the site Of an ancient
needle factory. Very few human bones
have been discovered. but among the in
teresting finds is blue glass bead. with
a waving dark line running around it.
One of the mounds contains 800 tons Of
cay. all of which must have been dug
from the surrounding hills and carried
to the spot in boats.-Youth's Compan-

The famous German traveller. Otto

potentate whom he visited i'm Laos
states. while on his way from Siam To
Touquin. The prince leaves the cares
of affairs chiefly 10 his wife. He has had
his throne placed in the palace kitchen
so that he can receive visitors and

tration, and admire the democratic
spirit manifested in his choice of a
throneroom.-Chi Times-Hera,d.

MUSIC AMONG THE NEGROES.
In Some Instance IL Is Of High
Order.


One of the chief features of every
negro gathering Of social character
is the singing. y musical people they
undoubtedly are. Not a few have eN-
hibited high degree of talent in this
respect; as, for example. Blind Tom,
whose performances on the piano have
delighted so many cultured audiences.
The darky fiddler, once so prominent a
feature of social gatherings, is still
sought after in some communities
The popularity of sO-caiied Jubilee"
singers and negro minstrels seems to
increase with time. Many of the most
popular songs in this country. such as
odd Kentucky Home" The Fatal
Wedding" ard Listen to the MockinC
Bird" were composed by negroes.
For the origin of most of their songs
we must go back to the days Of slavery.
Just rs the laboring classes of England
during the seventeenth century found
expression for their struggles and sui
feriugs in the popular ballads of the
time. so the American slave gave vent
TO his Affections and heartaches in song.
He sang of his griefs-and they were
many-of hardships and oppression. OF
less of home. Of separation from triends
and relatives. In these songs one can
not fail TO perceive a certain plaintive
melody that seems to breathe forth
centuries Of patient suffering. But the
songs of the negro were not all dictated
by the tragic muse. Even in slavery
there were bright, sun-kiSsed openings
in the clouds of sorrow that darkeued
his life; and there is no better evi-
dence of the natural cheerfulress and
gaiety of his character than the comic
and festive songs with which he was
wont to celebrate these interspaces in
his grief.-W. 7. Hewetson, in Chau-
tauquan.

and, stranger yet, were observed to be hauling a buggy along. The story they told was one calculated to stir up feeling Of pity and sympathy in the average human breast. It appears that they thought to spend Sunday quietly and peacefully and accordingly hired horse and buggy to go out to the Cross-oUt canal to try their luck at fishing. They tried and tried and tried again, according to the old saying, but failing to catch any fish they sat down and ate their dinner. which was served with the sauce of a good appetite. Chancing to look up enc of the fishermen observed that their horse had gotten loose. All their efforts to catch him proved un- availing, although the Guadruped all the while remained close at hand As he seemed to be edging toward Phoenix the fishermen dragged the buggy to- ward him, thinking that by this means to remind him of his duty It was ever on and on toward the capital city, however, and the party proceeded along the highway with the horse ever provokingly close in the front, but not once giving the. young mon a chance to catch him.
