SONGS AND SONG-MAKERS. Boma Illthert Vnpnlillahrxt Facta Oon corning Popular Iliilla.U, Popular songs are oftuu queer. So are their aulhora. But stranger still in tlio secret governing thn public tu.-tto, by which minii compositions are taken up and others rejected. Not 8 per cent of Iho Kong annually issued have a spark or originality about them. In thin country tho dozen or no publisher issue annually about 18,000 edition of songs, of between 16.000.OJ0 and 20, 000.000 of copies. This, added to tho reprints of Kuglish and foreign songs, moans fully thirty copies daily pcrtm- JU to every toucher of music in tho land. Yot out of this vast nutnbnr there is not ono song In 500 that reaches a popular Bale of 8,000 copies, and l than ono-tenth a many that exceed an issue of 800,001) copies. Here are tho sales of a fow well-known songs: .. Copif inM. "flower From Mothnra Orate" ...awe r.r , 11 .v",i"t !T-o.o "Only funny Ilrnom" ao.i.(l THfc SIZE OF MAN.

In re cent tiiii'-a hones have been exhumed there which were believed to be hnman, and trhioh wore aaid to bo those of Toutoliodti, the King of tlio Teutons, who waa overcomo near the spot by Marina, the Roman General. Tho re- learehoa of Cuvier, however, provod that thoso bonoa, together with all the ethera exhumed in tho same place. were those of the dinotherium gigan- leum, an extinct animal of tho tapir THE BARREL HAMMOCK.

Notwithstanding tliU apparent lack of appreciation on the part of asurfcit ed public, the ane of shoot munio con tinue a profitable enterprise, rendered ao by the spasmodic sale of an occas ional hit, tiio pecuniary return of which usually overbalances louses entailed in other direction . Since tho day of Stephen C. Foster, Henry C. Work and John Howard Payne, a clam of balladiata hna sprung Into existence, tho exact description of which it would be difllcult to give. The army embrace!) almost cvory vocation from minstrel to mechanic. Anion" the more notable are Frank Howard, well-known as author of "Only a Pansy Blossom" and "When the Robin Next Again;" David Braham, James V. Stewart, Wm, J. Scanlait. the actor; Charles Connolly, Sydney Rosenfcld, J. K. Kmmet and Waltor Pliinnix. Kosenfeld was fonnerly a Philadelphia journalist, mine wm. JlenderHon, the writer of ao many topical songs, was formerly connoted with tho editorial tit A' of tho New York Timet. These oinprii only a very few of the thous and who have essayed popular son" making. The song which stand alone in tho American market in point of issues told Is the "Scotch Lassie Jean," which reached 1.000,000 copies, and is still in fair demand. Another great success was the ballad "Must We Then Meet as Strangers?" of which many editions liavo boon printed. Still others are Tucker's pretty song, "Sweet Gene vieve," "The Spanish Cavalier," "Call Me lluck Again," "Sweet Forget Me Not," and "lVetty asa Picture." Then th.ro must not. be omitted Westendoi f's "I'll Tnkt) Thee Hack Again. Rath leen." To iiamo the very lalo-t pop ular song successes is a matter of more dilllculty. The ballad that, Is whistled tdny by thousand may be dead and forgotten by to-morrow, while another, not iiitc so quirk to catch the popular taste, may sell on and on, just as fttiitili.it- hut old stories like "Uncle Tom's Cabin" do. The latter is to-day Mining tlm best selling books in the world. Some songs approach, but they do not quite eijuul its lasting popular ity. Following me the approximate I sale of some later successes: J lie myth of a raoo of giants has its counterpart in those other creatures of Imagination, the pigmies. Those fabled people, who were so small that a stalk of grain was a tree to them, which thev chopped down with tiny hatehete anil brush books, were said to inhabit Ethi opia. They wcro always at war with tlio cranes, but lived on such excellent terms with tho partridgos that thev were able to harness them into theii carriages. They lived at first, accord ing to the fable, in Thrace, but wore driven out of Europe by the cranes, and took refuge in Ethiopia. It is now commonly supposed that the pigmies were nothing moro nor less than monkeys of small size, like the mar moset. The piirinv's warfare with thi. crane was probably the ono grain el exact truth which survived in the tradi tion The stories of the pigmies belong with the rabies or tho giants. Tlio men ol ancient times were of the same, or nearly the same height, as those of the present day. The doors of the ancient houses, the ancient armor, the Egyptian mummies, as well as the bones of the fossil men, prove that there lias been little erno variation. Among ramnus tall men was the Roman Emperor Maximin, whoso stat ure was seven and Jhroc-qunrtcrs feet. i'i:iMiuin was a young barbarian, tin son or a Gothic father, who (list nt tf acted the attention of the Romans bv overcoming sixteen of their strongcsl men, one after another, in a wrestling contest, and, having been made a cen turion, fought and intrigued his way to inn imperial limine. i ne normal stature of men and women ranges between four foot and six feet four inches.

The Ions-horned auimals gazed at the locomotive a mo ment, and then with ono accord started toward the train at a rapid trait. It was evident to the cowboys in charge of the herd that a stampede was iniini. nent, and they endeavored to stop the mad rush of the thnrouirhlv rrszoil nn. Iinals.

In 171 a law waa paseed in the Bra zilian Chambers or Parliament provid ing for the gradual emancipation of all the slave in the empire, and requiring a registration by masters of all slavea. Snoh slavos as were not registered by a certain date were to be declared froe Iry the terms of the law. Thore woro then about 5,000,000 slaves in tho conn Iry. The law also gave unconditional freedom to all slares who had reached or shonld thereafter reach the ago or 60 years. In 1885 the number of registered slaves was found to bo not greater than 1.200.000. At the opening of the Chnnvber in May, Mr. -Alfonso Celso, a prominent member, and son of a formor Premier of the same name, offered a bill for the inimediato freeing of tho remaining slaves. The following are its chief pro visions: All glares registered throughout the wholo of tho empire of Brazil aro de clared to bo free from the date of tho promulgation of the present law. Those who are free from bondage in virtnoof thn law are obliged to labor for (he space nf two years in the ser rice of their former mter, but this service shall be non-transferable from any raiiso whatsoever. From this obligation shnll be accept ed tho following: (1). Thoso who shall redeem themselves front service by payment of such service in money. In this case thn valm of such service, for tho full term of two years, shall in no oase ho valued at more than $200. For tho pnrpnse ef making this valuation, tho clauses in tho recent law n88G1 and in that of November 13, 1872, shnll be continned in full force. (2). Thoso who have reached fifty years of age, and also those who shall hereafter reach that age within the specified time of two Tears, shall be declared int into Tho ago ef the slave, for thispnrpose, shall be determined by tho registry; proof to tno contrary shall only be admitted when this proof shall be in favor of the liberty of the slave. ' When either ono of a married couple shall have acquired his or her freedom from rendering obligatory service, through whatever cause, tho other shall likewise be freed nt once and without any conditions w hatever. Freedmon, during the two years in which they nro obliged to render service under the present law, shall be paid just wages or salary, havo full right to suitable cloth ing and proper food, and to necessary medical treatment nnd care should they become ill or incapacitated. All ex-inastors who shall not faith fully carry out the obligations and du ties imposed by the preceding para graph, shall lose all claim or right, whatever to the services of their for mer slaves, now become freedmon. All taxes and revenues desfined to the fund of emancipation by preceding laws and regulations shall be employed for tho use of establishments of practical and professional education designed for the children of freedmen, and for the en dowment of asylums for freedmen who may hereafter become incapacitated for work by disease or accident A O.
