Singers, Lik Poets, Must Be Vary ' Good,. He Wrote. A characteristic letter written by Dean Swift in reference to nu applica tion by a Mr. Lovelace for a vacant place iu the choir of St Patrick's cathe dral, Dublin, appears in the appendix to the thirteenth report of the histor ical MSS. commission. Musleul News gives mi extract: "I desire yon will ask my Lord Ox ford whether his brother Nathaniel un derstands niusick; If he does and rec ommends Mr. Lovelace particularly from lila oWn knowledge, something may be said. I have tbe honour to be captain of a baud of nineteen musi cians (including boys); but my quire la so degenerated under the reigns of for mer Deans of famous memory that the race of people called Gentlemen Lovers of Musics: tell me that I must be very careful in supplying two vacancyea, which 1 bare been two years endeavor ing to do so.

If you had recommended a person to me for a Church-living in my gift I would be less curious; because an indifferent par son may do well enough, if be be hon est; but Singers, like tbelr brothers tbe Poets, must be very good, or they are good for nothing." SONG OF THE CARROT. Tribute to a Modest Vegetable the , Poets Have Neglected. Why does no poet arise to sing the song of tbe carrot, tho hardest worked vegetable in the kingdom? Much is said In favor of the plethoric pump kin, the gathering of corn Is a com monplace theme, but tbe poor carrot has been neglected yes, even scorned. For diversity of use tbe carrot has pumpkin and corn backed over the garden wall. Men feed carrots to cat tie, increasing the dairy output. They feed them to other stock sometimes, Improving its temper. A carrot arti ficially hollowed with a knife makes an elegant Japnnese vase. Sufficiently hardened by harsh contact with tbe world, a carrot may be used for a weapon, either operated like a mallet with a handle or hurled like a Russian bomb. Carrots nre sometimes even used for food by human beings. They are a chief Ingredient In vegetable soup. Mixed with butter they Improve Its color. Tbey make better pumpkin pie than pumpkins themselves. Served as Mubbnrd squash they make one wonder why squashes were Invented. The nnswer to the high cost of living cry is carrots. Johnson had bis Bos well. Whom will the carrot have? Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Black Maria. Tho repulsive looking, henrsellke van used for the conveyance of prisoners Is universally known as the "black Maria." The term originated in Amer ica. When that country was filling with immigrants from England a ne- grcss mimed Maria Lee kept a sailors' boarding house In Huston. She was a woman of nmnzonlun strength and, according to the author of "More Anec dotes of Bench anil Bar," helped the authorities to keep the peace. Fre quently the constables Invoked her aid. and tho saying. "Send for black Matin," came to mean "Take him to prison." Tho sailors returning to Eng land frequently used the phrase, and so in the course of tlino tho name of bluck Maria Lee, shortened' and altered lo black Marin, becama the name of the prison van and remains so to this day. London Globe. A Little Too Much, One evening a little boy entered a grocery store and handed the clerk a note which rend; "I am n poor womnn anil have uo money. My children and I arc starving. Won't you give us something to cat?" The kind hearted clerk filled a large busket witb food and gave it to the boy, who quickly departed. Iu a few minutes he again entered the store. "What's the trouble now?" said the clerk. "Ma sent me back to get tbe trad ing stamps." the lad replied. Everybody's. Your Position at Work. In what sort of a posit ion Is your body when you work?

Tbe furniture which we select should be designed for Its livable qualities. It Is not a qnestion of whether the room is furnished consistently with Louis XVL furniture or with empire or with something else, but whether the furni- I ture combines with tbe walls and doors and c oiling to complete a room with a single Impression bomlness, restful ness, repose. Now, repose nud reatfulness depend very largely upon color harmonies, and It is therefore well that our furniture harmonize in this respect. A room which contains a chair or two Iu wal nut, others in mahogany and fumed oak and a sofa In golden oak cannot help being bad. Such a room Is bound to affect tbe nerves of every sensitive person who comes Into tbe room. For tbis lenson a room should be very predominantly mahogany In color, very predominantly fumed onk or very predominantly something else, but it should not be n mixture. With n pan eled Interior of gray, mahogany will go very beautifully, whether It be Chip pendale. Sheraton or colonial or all three mixed. Lionel Robertson and T. C. O'Donnell In Good Health. GOOD BOOKS. When Personally Owned They Gather a Wealth of Association. Cultivated men and women hnve al ways good books among tbelr most valued possessions, anil one cannot be lieve that this taste can be sacrificed withot't definite loss to our civilization. Tbe spoken word can never supplant the written word, aud In fact the pres ent tendency is all toward substituting print for speech. Nor can rending In public places take the place of reading one's own books in tbe quiet of one's borne. Books that are owned wait pa tiently on the render's leisure, and to have just the book one wants when one wants It must remain one of the supreme luxuries of a cultivated life. Books, too, when personally owned, writes Earl Barnes In the Atlantic, gather around themselves n wealth of personal associations. The very bind ing, paper and title page recall the con ditions under which the book came into our possession. As we open its pages we remember tbe Inst time we read it, the place and circumstances and the people with whom we discussed It Books have personality, and they must always remain the warm friends of their posae?"ors.
