A Deserted VILLAGE.

The site OF the .erstwhile fiourishing
village Of BrendQp is represented by
a few gaunt stone chimneys, a stray
cluster OF roofess cottages, dilapi-
dated Dissenting chapel, a ghostly
railway station and one fair.sfzed
shop, which serves the needs Of the
scattered community living on the
Brendon Hills, says H. G. archer, in
the Wide World Magazine. But for
many years the deserted village was
left just as, it was when the miners
occupied it, and as such presented an
extraordinary sight silent, grass
grown streets Of closed houses, shops,
inns and places of worship. 1t was
only comparatively recently that the
buildings were RACED and the materials
of which they were composed sold and
carried away. To-day the most tan
gible relic is found at the junction of

The Time to Learn Sinqinu.

Madame Mathilde Marchesi, the
eminent vocal teacher, writes in the
Ladies' Home Journal:
For young girls all vocal training
before they reach the 18th or 18th
year of age (and even then with great
caution) Is a sin, and may spoil many
good voices before their normal de.
velopment. Young girls designed for
a vocal coreer, instead of singing,
ought to employ their time in learn
ing: music, piano and languages, all
indispensable nowadays for good
singers to complete their education.
Flat singing proceeds, in general. from
the fatigue of the larnyx."

A new era has arrived in the mari

taken the second place in Importance
in the harbors of Hawaii, since the
breakwater there has given large ships
a fine anchorage. The French ship
Laennec, which should sail for Ia
coma either this afternoon or tomor-
row morning, is the first vessel to
bring European cargo to the Maui
port. From now on it is expected that
many more vessels of this class will
come.
The Laennec, which came to Maui
consigned to the Kahului Railroad
company, is bounty ship, having a
good sized subsidy from the French
Government and having on board as a
crew a large number of young men
who are getting their training for the
French navy. She brought a cargo of
Welsh coal, fire brick, fire clay and
cement, amounting in all to 1900 tons.
She arrived at Kahului IT'S days out
