NEGROES SANG AT WORK.
And Entertained French Opera Sing. CTS in the Streets of New
 Orleans.

The French opera singers were specta- tors of picturesque street scene night or two ago in the vicinity of the old French opera house, says the New Or leans Times-Democrat. Bourbon street was being paved with asphalt, and the work was being hastened so as to have that portion of the street near the opera house accessible for carriages by the time of the opening of the French op- era season.
 On this account an unusually large force of workmen were engaged, and in order to push the work to an early com pletion the men worked at night, huge torches being used. In one block, be- tween St. Louis and Toulouse streets, more than 100 men were working.
 Every one familiar with the negro knows that in so far as he is able, he sets his work to music. 1t is fact often marveled at that the negro, when he is singing or chanting in sort of rhythmic mood, works with more ardor than under different conditions. And if an extra de- mand is made on the negro workman he sings or chants the louder.
 The members of the French opera, or at least many of them, heard for the first time the real melody of the negro voice that night It was that swishful, poetic thing caricatured in the ragtime of the stage, a certain subtle, indefinable some thing which no composer has ever been able to fit to the well-measured octaves of musical arrangements. It was the tuneful, heaving call of the levee, the mellow sunset cry of the cotton fields. The flaring torch, the bustling hither and thither, the heavy fall of the implements of toil-all those things gave exquisite tone to the setting.

Paraguay Tea.

There comes from Paraguay to the Journal of Tropical Medicine news of an apparently harmless beverage which is the sole stay and stimulant of the working classes in Paraguay and the Argentine Republic. It is often known as Paraguay tea or mate, and an at tempt made to introduce it into this country some years ago failed because --as we may guess-there were more potent competitors in the field. It is usually drunk as hot infusion, through a metal tube, but may be taken like tea. with milk and sugar Workmen take it with them wherever they go and sip it occasionally.
