When the Christy minstrels cm me to London In 1857 Thackeray was eu chantod with tbem. "I heard not long since," be says in one of his letters, "a minstrel who performed a negro ballad that, I confess, moistened these specta cles in a most unexpected manner. I have gazed on thousands of tragedy queens dying on tbe stage and expiring in appropriate blank verse, and I never wanted to wipe them. They have look ed up, be it said, at many scores of clergymen without being dimmed, and, behold, a vagabond, with a corked face and n banjo, sings a little song and strikes a wild note which sets tbe heart thrilling with happy pity." Clad stone, too, was nn admirer of tbe Christy minstrels and was often to be seen listening to tbetr songs with rapt attention. London Chronicle, Almanacs.

As a Rule, They Ars Wage Earners Even Though Married. There Is an outstanding point of dif ference between the activities of wo men In Denmark and In other coun tries. In Denmark the sole aim is economic independence for women throughout their lives. Thus in Copenhagen more than 1,000 married women work ns clerks In of fices. By far the majority of actresses are married. In order to enter the school of the corps de ballet It is nee ess.yy to be of good family. Tbe greater part of the husbands of ballet dancers are In hlh positions'. Three hundred and fifty to four hun died of the teachers in the free schools In Copenhagen are married. They re eclve exactly the same xnlnry ns the men 'tenehers-thut Is. I4 yearly. A heart teacher, man or woman, com mences with fliiO and rlaes to 1208. In the gyiniiaKliiiim and secondary schools many of the professors are married women, w ho also form a con slderable proportion of the privnt-do-ccntcn In the universities. The munic ipal council of Copenhagen bas several women members. In brief, In Denmark It Is the rule rather than the exception for the mar ried woman to be economically Inde pendent through her own labors. Lon don Spectator. WATCHING WATER FREEZE. An Easy Way to Make the Growth of Ice Crystals Visible, it is not commonly known that fresh water may sometimes be "colder than Ice" and that the growth of ice crystals may be made plainly visible. An in teresting experiment to show this may easily be made. Fill a clean pint bottlo wltb distilled water. Make a bole In the stopper large enough to let the thermometer pass through It The kind of ther mometer used in physical laboratories is most convenient Insert tbe stop per in the bottlo and let tbe thermome ter reach nearly to tbe bottom. rack snow or ice and salt round tbe bottle as yon would pack an ice cream freezer. If the, bottlo Is not Jarred tbe temperature may be seen to drop several degrees below tbe freezing point without freezing the water. If the stopper and thermometer are now removed and a small piece of ice free from nny trace of salt is inserted in the bottle and pushed down into tbe water crystals of Ice may be seen to shoot out in all directions from It After this experiment bas been tried yon will have some understanding of the network of Ice girders which is be neath the ice coating of small ponds.
