Musical Note.

At the Yer ger mansion on Austin avenue, at an evening sociable, a musical young lady played and sang a piece called “Sylvan Sounds,”in wliieh the singing and notes of the mocking bird and the lark were imitated. ’ “Did not that lady’s singing remind you of the singing of birds? You might have thought she was really a bird.” “Yes, but I never saw a bird sit down at a table after it had got through singing, and hide away three or four cups of tea, half a ham, and enough cake and ice cream to founder a mule. You never saw a lark or a mocking bird do that, did you?”— Texas Siftings.

The “cutting-room” in a shoe factory is, by reason of the intricate machinery it contains, the most dangerous room in the building. It is a rare thing to find such a room in a large factory that does not contain one or more employes minus a finger or thumb. Sometimes frightful accidents occur. The. racer, a huge machine modeled something after the guillotine of France, is used in cutting the sides of leather in strips. It contains a knife four feet long that would cut a man’s arm off as easily as scissors cut a thread.

When everything else falls, Dr. Sago’s Ca tarrh Remedy cures. If you don’t want to be robbed of your good name don’t have It inscribed upon your umbrella.— Texas Siftings.
