The copper colored na-tives of eastern Asia spread In the course of ages to tho Caroline group, and were the projectors of Palaoa, Uarbudos, Horn-bres, Illancos ajul other families of gentler barbarians. These were followed by au-otiici exodus of a kindred race, ferocious and pugnacious Iu the extreme, who were the builders of I ho monuments.

The woman, wdm strongly denies the olTcuse, edges away, taking with her tho maledictions of some laltorers' wives, and the child, whose eyes are inflamed, cheeks red and throat hoarsu with crying, is left standing against a wall sobbing violently. t)n coming upon the scene I gave the girl sixpence, sent her off home and continued my walk. Turning back a moment or two later I met a constable aud d- t ailed the clrcum-htances. I suggested with all the respect due from a mere ratepayer to a Isjbby that he might keep his eye open for tho woman. "Oh, ma'am," said Uobert indignantly, "I knows the woman.

A word to ten-der hearted strollers is enough.—Cor. Pall MnJlGsaetts, Music sod Health. I am strongly of opinion that vocal music Is conducive to health, and I believe that if children, particularly girls, wars to de-vote more time to slnglug there would be fewer victims to chest complaints, for such an exercise must tend to develop tho organs of the chest. Uf course it might not be beneficial in every ease, but I think that in the majority of cases plenty of exer-cise in singing would pay will from a health point of view. The schools might therefore appropriate more time totralu- Ing In this respect, for I hold thnt health should be mode the first consideration, and school is certainly the place where the moat good could be done. Some years ago a Dr. Hush, dealing with this subject, stated that "the exercise of the organs »»f tho breast by singing con-tributed very much to defend them from those diseaaes to which the climate and other causes expose them. The Hermans are seldom afflicted with consumption, nor have I ever known more than one case of spitting blood among them. This, I be-lieve, is in part occasioned by tho strength which the lungs acquire by exercising them frequently In vocal music, which constitutes an essential branch of their education." Another authority stated thnt he had heard of people strongly dis-posed to consumption being restored to health by the exercise of the lungs In sing-ing- , , These statements certainly deserve con-sideration, more particularly as the remedy for such a serious complaint Is a very sim-ple one. To me It seems perfectly reason-able to think that singing should expand the chest and thus better qualify the frame to battle with disease—Cor. Lon-don Tit Hits. Capon* fur Kplrurcs.

must I descend into particulars and add
that they Are four in numIK.-r and that two

In reference to the second Mrs. Namby
(still alive), who Also bad a family, and m
—no, 1 really cauuot say, Is likely to go OR
having one. There are certain limits in a
case of tbla kind, and I think I have

In plain terms, that be transacts the whole

weakness of mem >ry. from total want uf a
seuse of propriety, or from a condition of
mind which is closely allied to madness of
the eccentric sort. I cannot say, but the
major certainly does some times partially
