By official decree the hurdy-gurdy has been banished from the streets
of New York, but It still holds high place In the hearts of many native
New Yorkers who remember It as the "dance” orchestra of their very
early youth on the sidewalks of the city. Here Is one that plnyed its swan
song in select company. Mary Lewis, metropolitan opera star, who Is pic­
tured, took the instrument to the Virginia day nursery for the entertain­
ment of the children and they sat on and around it and sang with her,

four examinations, each covering a
year’s work, then passed three more

England.
It Is explained that the reason
horses shy at unexpected sounds or
at sight of strange objects while
their relative, the donkey, doesn't
Is chiefly hereditary, says Pathfind­
er Magazine. Horses are descend­
ed from ancestors that roamed the
plains where clumps of grass or
bushes perhaps concealed danger.
On the other hand, donkeys are de­
scendants of hill animals to whom
su refooted ness and slowness were
a necessity in traveling steep paths
and precipices. Natural enemlnes
were fewer and a sudden start of
alarm might have been fatal.
