o — SAtre » IN A The Moch-? «<+1 Songster {oth tv of New ¥ Gor Do-nnison wr 3 file low: a» American \ lo is a lover of ¢ rds the first hearing of the Euronean skylark fs an teworthy event. While waiting for the brd to sing he is likely to wonder, as dit he writer, whether the song will so far surpass the music of our best singers as the world-wide reputa.ion of the bird might lead one toexpec’. It was on Long Island, only a few miles from our own city. that I heard for the tirst time this ‘assisted emigrant,’ whose advent (Heaven be praised!) our laws have notopposed. Iwas walking near afield, not of grass, nor grain, nor vegetables, but weeds—a desolate waste—from which none would expect , a melody to arise whose beauty has been proclaimed to the ,eorners of the | earth. But soon I was reminded that to the lark, as to other birds weeds are not weeds; for a new voice arese out of the desert; and looking in the direction | ofthe sound, I bebeld a:bird of medium | size, with eager, fluttering wings, only | ing by} a few feet above ground, and ' poured | short, quick flights. He forth a flood of notes ‘as he H went upward. The voice had} something in it—something indescriba- ! ble—that made it different from any | bird song of ours. Then, too, it sang | while rising. ‘This could be none other | than the European skylark, especially asThad been told that he could be heard im that neighborhood. It is wonderfully inspiring to hear a bird sing ss he mounts heavenward, yet with the skylark (dare I say it!) the first feeling of the listener is apt to be one of disappointment. For the quality of tone and the, character of | the panticula’ notes is what engrosses the attention at the outset, and the ob- server calls to mind a large number of singers whose notes are equal to these. He can even name several whose voices surpass this new voice from the Old World. But do not insist too much upon the tone quality. Wait and listen. The song grows upon you. Y u wonder where any creature can find the power to sing so rapturously and continuously while mounting into the sky. There is no pause at all be- tween the notes. They are almost as rupid as those of the bobolink, though less impetuous, with leas bubbling ex- ubersnce. Tis is truly the joy-song of a blithe spirit borne aloft into the sky. The skylark’s is not a ringing song, nor is it very loud; but being sweet, it is heard a long distance when the bird is in the air. There 1s a marked differ- ence in this respect when the singer is on the ground. Then the notes sound not much more than half so loud. It is probnble that the bird sings louder when flying, the sensation of rising into the air and coming down again stimulating him to more vigorous ex- pression. Many of the notes, perhaps nearly half of them, are shat might be called, for want of a better. term, a kind of musical splutter. Yet this term is too harsh, The notes are more rapid than a warble, and they are not atrill. The loudest notes lever heard are like the last two notes of our mead- ow lark, only shorter and not plaintive. Tho American bird that most nearly Tesembles tho skylark as to the gen- eral quality of song, leaving out the quality of continuity, is the song spar- row. The two songs are not greatly alike, yet there is much ia common be- tween them, especially as to tone quality.—N. ¥. Post, _ ee A Lively Commotion. “Oh, Uncle James!” exclaimed an ecstatic young Boston woman, as she held hor skirts in one hand and pointed at the ien-house with the other, “and is that where you keep «1! the dear little chickens and hens?” “Yes,” assented her agricultural relative, ‘cn’ the dear little roosters, too. its called the hennery, Penel- “The hennery! Isn't that lovely? And now, uncle, you must show me the piggery, and ‘the cowery, and the horsery, and duck and goosery, and every thing.” Ani then the hens began to cackle, and the pigs began to. grnat, and the cows began to moa, and the horses began to—to kick, and the'ucks began to quack, and the geese began to hiss —which ws a proper thing~ forthe grese to do—and MES Bigtstepping roosters tipteed up and-down, and al- tovether there was’ a lively commotion. —Uarvers Bayar, oF Rt 1 Neuralgi “~~? in ve Days. ~ r The Iecinns Chemical Co. have discov- vend which acts with truly sordity in the cure ot Rheu- RI m ‘Neuralgia.

Cincinnati, O AN ENTERPR'SING LADY. tow She Utiliz d Her Housekeeping Knowied,e to Good Advantage A uew inlustry for women is be- ‘dining to evolve itself in New York, which may yet do much toward solving the vexed servant-girl question. Some three months ago a woman of a good old New York family, educated and capable, left a widow without money, and having served no apprenticeship to any of the industries by which women eara bread and butter, began to think of putting her pride in her pocket and turning her notable house- ecping talents to account by looking for service in a family as cook. Considering the matter further, it occurred to her that she could do bet- ter. Securing with some little effort, the project being a novel one, a client- age of half adozen families in her im- mediate neighborhood that were groan- ing under dyspepsia, induced by “light housekeeping,” she began to send out, three times a day, delicately cooked and daintily served meals. Her vent- ure was so immediately successful that she looked up a New England housekeeper and a couple of stout- armed Swedish girls to help her, and her business sprang, almust ina single night, to the utmost dimensions that she could handle. . Families that had tried the frizzled steak broiled by the green girl, families that were starving on meals elaborated over the flicker- ing gas jet, families that had eaten “table board” in the basement dining- room around the-corner, families whose pocketbooks groaned at the expense of the waiter load sent in from hotel or restaurant, families whose heads were business women without time for cook- ing, families tired of the annoyance of servants in a small flat, were glad to be supplied with home cooking, varied, palatable and at a reasonable price. She has twenty-one families on her list at present, I think, to whom she supplies just that wholesome round of breakfasts, lunches and dinners that the average house mother would offer to husband and little folks. Fruit in season, in the morning, oatmeal or wheaton grits, fish, steak or chops; a side dish, such as stewed kidneys, sau- sage, liver and bacon, eggs; coffee, tea or chocolate, bread and butter, milk and sugar. Soup, fish, a roast, three vegetables, dessert and coffee make up the dinner, all of whigh is sent out at a cost of seven dollars a week to a single person, five dollars each for members of families, though what is supplied for two is sufficient for three, the cost per household is not reckoned in multiples of that sum. In a way the experiment is one of co-operative housekeeping, for, practically, the cost of every-day living is divided among a number of families, purchases for all being made together, the labor for all systematized and simplified, and the waste of all mimmized, the result being that each family saves nearly the full amount of its cook’s wages, and is freed from the tyranny of Castle Garden besides. Two other women, emulous of the first, talk of starting similar enter- prises. The scheme is in its infancy, but whenever a sufficient number of families within a radius of a block or two, as near the great flat houses, can be interested in it, it has promise of an opening for an industry for women | and of relief from divers perplexities for the families they serve.—Eliza Putnam Eeaton, in Brooklyn Times. $1.00 for 13 weeks.
