defense. Now. sir. there Is nothing
in the clause to prevent you from
sending a whole army corps for this
purpose, and II I had to pay for that

The kaiser laughed and said, Quite

RHYTHM OF THE SONGS OF. BIRDS
Music of nature Is Always in Perfect
Time.


How little we realize the fact that
the music of nature is always intense
ly rhythmical! An intelligent rooster
with good ear always crows in ac-
curate three-four time, and In the
minor key. Our own simplest idea
of time is perfectly illustrated by the
drum, the dots Indicating footsteps
and the dashes drum BEATS. Now,
this is rhythm, an essential principle
of music, and we are widely at fault
if we suppose for one moment that
the birds sing regardless of 1t. The
drum beats are in unmistakable
four-four time, the commonest time
of all, and think it could be conclu-
sively proved that the oriole. for in
stance, has adopted that time for his
own.
1t is evident to close observer
that there is something odd about the
orioles time; it is four-four. without
doubt, but there are queer breaks In
it; the singer drops note here and
there, much as good old grandmamma
drops stitch in her clever knitting.
These omissions are characteristic of
the oriole; his style is one of marked
syncopation, with preference for
that kind of melody which has been
styled "ragtime." II you wish to
initiate this quality you must whistle
a "toot" by placing the tip of tho
tongue Immediately behind the upper
front teeth, dropping. and returning
1t quickly.-Frank Leslie's Monthly.

Painting ON Human skin.

Marcus lorenzo. an Italian paint
er. who fourished in the last century.
once paid 200 francs for piece of
human skin no larger than dinner
plate upon which to execute land
scape in oils. The skin. which was
chemically prepared to receive the
paint. was taken from the back Of al.
aged woman. whose body had been
sold to a medical man for dissecting
experiments. The human parchment
was drawn tightly over a metal frame
and the artist spent nearly seven
months in producing painting that
was afterward exhibited in various sa-
Ions. and ultimately realized the sum
of $4,000 francs.
