Wery closely love and death dwall to gether—high up In the world of nature and low down! The following well authenticated story comes from North- amptonshire: A sparrow hawk was killed when feeding her young, Four days later when the nest was exam- ined it was found that the ‘ittle male bird, working aloge for the family, had brought home forty-eight birds— viz, six larks, nine swallows, one bull- finch, seven robins, six spar:ows, six hedge sparrows, nine blue tits, three chaffinches and one wren. What a spirit of dutifulness along with ferocity is here exhibited on the part of the small widower hawk, who evidently thought that the best way of respecting the memory of ais departed consort was to feed her children welll And in doing this how absolutely ob- ; livious nature had rendered him of the feelings of the poor larks, swal- lows, bullfinches and robins, whose offspring—or the parents themselves— his relentless parental affection thus annexed! The direst cruelty animated | by the tenderest love! The most sav- age egotism prompted by an entire un- selfishness!

The bill was for $50 for material and fending her charges explained that ghe had two establishments, one at Putney and the other on Manchester street. The dress in question had been made at Putney, but if it had been made at the Manchester street estab- lishment she would have charged about $75. although there would have been no difference whatever in material or workmanship, Prices, she said, were regulated by locality, and, although Putney is socially irreproachable, it is not quite equal to Manchester street. The price of a dress is therefore In- dicative of geographical location rather than of quality, and for this side light on feminine manners and customs we may be duly grateful.—Argonaut.

Ome famous little tenor used cold tea that had drawn a long time. Such a gargle, though, does not lm- prove the quality of the voice, even If it does raise the pitch temporarily. The popular gargle among opera art- ists is the solvent. It loosens crusts which form in the throat and nasal cavities and removes mucous which cannot be got rid of by coughing and hawking. A common wash is twelve grains of chlorate of potash to a wine- glassful of warm water. Many singers and orators in order to render their voices clear and mellow use a gargle containing one teaspoonful of common salt and one of baking soda in a tum- blerful of water. These gargles are im- proved by further adding some aro- matic substances to stimulate the mu- cous membrane with which they come in contact.—New York Press. : Needles and Pins.
