Assorted Voices.

It is a well known fact that voices
differ greatly according to nationality
and geographical position. Thus, in
Russia one hears male voices which
are absolutely unique in the lowness
of their compass. The Italians, on the
other hand, are notable for their fine
tenor voices. Some Asiatic nations.
according to Engel. sing in shrill notes
by straining the voice to its highest
pitch. Others delight in a kind Of
vibrato Or tremo.ando. Some sing
habitually in an undertone. others in
a nasal tone.
Lichtenstein. in describing the sing
ing of Hottentot congregation in
South Africa. observes that among all
the singers. consisting of about 100
Hottcntots OF both sexes. there was
not one man with bass or baritone
voice. All he men had tenor voices.
The Chinese voices seem to bear some
resemblance to the weak character Of
the people. 4 military man who had
three years service in the country
declares that he never once heard a
Chlnaman sing from his chest.-Gen-
tleman's Magazine.

The young shoots of the bamboo itIe
covered With a number Of very line
