An Enormous Vocal Repertoire.

NV mothers love for music was SO
great, says Sarah T. Meigs, that she
could sing anything that was called
for, from the old Scotch and English
ballads, through the entire range of
Italian opera, down to the modern
German Lied; or play anything, from
Clement to Chopin. All this in any
key, and with IN exquisite taste and
enthusiastic enjoyment that was IT,
resistible.
s On being asked once how many
pieces she thought she knew, she re-

cured aud the only sound heard in our
sitting room was the scratching of q
pen.
On my fathers return he asked
what progress was made. The answer
was: ''I wrote until 7 was tired. If
there are not enough names, don't
think I've exhausted my repertory,
for I can write at least two hours
longer"
The Juveniles crowded round to
watch the counting, and when the last
column was reached there was just
800.
''How am I to know that you really.
know all these pieces?"

undaunted reply.

JUSTICE IN JOLO.
The District Chiefs Power OF Life and
Death Over His Subjects.

The District Chiefs Power at Life and
Death Over His Subjects.
The social system among the Moros
is much more primitive than it is
among the greater part Of the other
Philippine races. A chief, OF dato,
controls district; he has his own
parti.,ular followers and his slaves.
Besids,s these, he may command all
the mel of his own district in time of
war. H.e also has the right of life
and death over his subjects. For in
stance, q few weeks before we arrived
in Jolo. Da.to Jokanine had occasion
to execute one of his followers. The
man had been intrusted with money
belonging to tire dato. The first time
he came to his chief and said:
SO great AMI benevolent dato, 1
have gambled away thy money; for
give me!' ,a
every well," said the dato. ''see.
that il does not happen again"
Once more the retainer came, say
ing:
I have gambled away thy money, and
again I beg thee in thy great mercy
to forgive me"
'This is the second time have for
given thee," said Jokanine, "but
the third time, I warn thee, thou
shalt die
Yet again the unfortunate man re-
turned without the mon ey he had col
lected for the dato.
20 dato," he cried, throwing him
self at the feet of bis chief, Il have
sinned again and taken thy money.
Mercy, mercy"
"Cut him down. said tine dato to
one of his men-at-arms. The man
offered no resistance and was cut to
pieces with one of the great knives of
the natives.
Another story which shows we'll the
authority of the dato over his people
is worth the telling. 1t seems that a
blacksmith had. been making love in
o quiet way to member of the harem
of Dato Jokanine. Jokanine knew of
this, and came to the man's smithy
one day. The smith was just finish
ing off a large barong.
Z sEet me, see that knife" said Jok-
anime. Then, running his finger
along the edge, he added, cit seems
sharp; may I try it?"
Certainly, dato," said the unsus-
pecting smith Without moments 8
hesitation Jokapine raised the knife
and split the smith to the chin. The
right master has to kill slave is
therefore no stronger right than that
exercised by all the datos and the sui
tan over the life Of every man in Sulu.

twenty-five years ago, Hazard stated
that, if large and tortuous, with
considerable opening through the
muscles of the belly to admit of its
passage outwards, it is frequently
connected with rich udder; but far
greater reliance can be placed on the
network of veins seen beneath the
skin over the forequarters of the I'D
der. This characteristic is little no.
ticed by authors, and dairymcn or deal
ers in cattle rarely speak of it. But
both the veins and the udder itself,
and those which pass upwards behind
towards the tail, when large, are sure
tests of competent mixer.

THROUGH THE MEssss OF WINTER.


Through the meshes of winter she slipped
IA day
From out some radiant south;
She breathed Q spell from her fower-shaped
mouth,
And the round world dreamed Of May.
The birds dreamed softly Of nesting-time.
The bare earth dreamed OF flowers,
The brooks. glad dream wasa merry rhyme,
But the best Of the dream was ours.
For the song Of the wind swept into our
- ken,
From the first pink dawn 1t blew,
And we dreamedwe laughed In the sunshine
then,
When Joy and the world were new.
But. the day passed By on folded wing,
And our dream is ashes OF rose,
Till over the threshold OF winter SHOWS
She shalEsmile from the heart OF Spring.
