PIJBAKI. Maeterton, August 25th. [to the editor} - Sir, —A Htranger in a strange land, I this afternoon found myself in the Public Reading Room, Overcome by the soporific effect of Saturday's leading article in your columns, I slept, ■ and dreamt ; that I was wandering in Regent's' Park in the vicinity'of the . parrot house. On awaking I found it was only the

Perhaps these young persons have never read dhakespeare's " Lear" and consequently are not acquainted with those lines; "Her voice waß ever Boft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman." Commending them to the study of our immortal' bard.—l am, &C.,' Toimisi. August 28 th, 1890. ~ [lf'" Tourist" cannot stand a young girl's voice in an adjacent room, what will he not have to endure when he settles down as a Benedict ?—Ed. W.D.] .
