No Englishman with daughters could
do a rasher thing than permit them to
take lessons from eminent professors
with view of going on the stage. The
opera stage in England scarcely ex-
lists. At Covent Garden a woman who
can speak good English can only get
in by force of social influence, and
abroad a foreigner has very great diff
ticulty because she cannot speak or
sing with a perfect accent. The for
eign lady or gentleman comes across
here and on occasion will venture to
sing in English. and their mistakes
bring nothing more than a smile to the
faces of the audience. But let an Eng
lish singer go to France or Germany,
and something totally different hap

Some very line binding was executed
for King James l.. who during his en-
tire life was an enthusiastic patron of
letters and art. In some of his books
the thistle is introduced with heavy
corner pieces, and the arms in the cen
ter. One fine piece Of work, now in the
British museum, is in bright brown
calf, powdered with flower-de-luce.
Another folio in crimson velvet has the
arms of England embroidered on both
sides with gold thread on a ground
work of yellow silk. The kings initials
are worked above. The lettering is in
leather, and the boards are tied to-
gether by red ribbon, constituting a
regal book in every particular. John
Gibson, in Scotland, and the Barkers,
in England, were appointed to be the
kings binders, but there is little trace
Of their work now extant.

Petersburg in his carriage he noticed

stopped, alighted and, taking off his
hat. ordered the soldier TO seize him
by the hair. The soldier hesitated. He
feared TO lay violent hands on his gen

close to afford hold for the hands.

his fingers in the latter's locks. he lit
