There are few ways of earning an honest penny more strange than that in which an old couple In the north of England eke out a scanty Income. Their little cottage is situated near a large mine, and every morning the colliers before descending to their work leave their pipes and tobacco boxes in the hands of the old folk. The pipes are cleaned and filled ready for lighting, and the miners can com* up at the dinner hour and enjoy a good smoke without having to expend time in charging their pipes. They are again left to be in readiness for the evening. The small weekly charge per pipe mounts into a respectable number of shillings at the week's end.

A student of music of the aborigines states that the Indians have innumera­ ble songs which conform to a definite melodic system. Many persons have been led to believe that Indian music consists wholly of drums, whoops and yells, but, in the face of twenty years' serious study of the matter and thou­ sands of phonograph records, this be­ lief is fast disappearing. These mel­ odies are all lndissolubly linked to leg­ ends, myths, ceremonials or religious rituals of the greatest poetic and dra­ matic beauty.

The man who must supply a column at a given hour every day cannot make the quality uuiform. Whitman dis­ cusses public and personat questions, asks If it is right to dance and answers himself that It Is if one goes to bed In decent season, rates the ferry company for allowing men to smoke and spit on the decks, and while the United States army is fighting In Mexico he turns out a restful screed entitled "Some After­ noon Gossip" devoted to a rainfall and the lamentations of ice cream makers on account of the cool weather.

One of Palb'* Prediction*. The Journal des Debats tells a story of Professor Rudolf Fa lb. In 1874 he pre­ dicted an eruption of Etna on Aug. 27. He offered a Vienna editor to write an account of It If the editor would send him to Sicily. Falb was commis­ sioned. When he reached Etna there was not the slightest sign of disturb­ ance. As the 27th approached Falb was tortured with anxiety and spent sleepless nights watching tbe volcano. Nothing happened on the 27th and 2Sth. The following morning the servant rushed into the professor's room shout­ ing. "An eruption, a terrible eruption!" Falb saw the spectacle and sent off his dispatch.

For nearly thirty years he has been traveling around the world, and is still traveling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes. To the consumptive he brings the strength and flesh lie so much needs. To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food. To thin and pale persons he gives new firm flesh and rich red blood. Children who first saw the old man with the fish are now grown up and have children of their own.
