Story. Did Some Things like All Dogs and Oth­ er Things Besides--How He Frightened Aunt Chesterfield and Earned a Quarter For His Owner. I paid a man $2 for him when he was v little pup--the dog, I mean---and he told me--the man did--ffiat if I would treat him kindly and give him plenty of corn bread--give the dog--he would guarantee--the man, would--that he would grow up--the dog would grow up --to be an honor to him--to the man. Napoleon got to be the largest dog and did it in the qiiickeSt manner of any dog I eVer knew. I wore long curls at that time, I remember, into which boys used to cast burs, which hurt me a good deal, especially when Napoleon would take his claws and try to run them through my locks, although the locks never opened in that way. They were combination locks, I suppose, and I didn't yet have my letters in my head to set the combination on. He also grew very strong, Napoleon did, so that I found it difficult to keep him at home unless I tied him, and even then it both­ ered me if another dog happened to be going by. Catching sight of that dog, Napoleon would utter a glad cry and bound over the fence, utterly unmindful of the rope or me at the other end of it. Down the street he would prance, giving vent to short barks and drawing the at­ tention of people after him, also myself. Neighbors coming to the windows used to marvel at the black and white streak we made in passing by. Sometime®! wouldn't get home till long after meal­ time, which in those days was quite a detriment to me, though not to Napo­ leon, whose appetite soon became cele­ brated throughout the whole town, for when ho couldn't get a pair of rubbers or a fur muff to slake the gnawings of hunger he would go out and collect the loaves of brown bread that bakers had left upon the adjacent stoops. I wouldn't like to print the things that people used to say about him at such times. We grew up together--at least Na- poleon did, for he had two feet the start of me. We were inseparable. Neighbors said they never saw anything more so, but that was chiefly because I couldn't get the rope unfastened in time. It was Napoleon's appetite that ulti­ mately accomplished his ruin, just as it has many another man's. Aunt and Un­ cle Chesterfield came to visit us that fall. They lived at Jay Corners, and really ought never to have gone any­ where else, but there they were, getting out of the stage at our front gate, and what could we do? I heard father say that to mother as they stood looking out of the window together. Uncle Chesterfield wasn't really our uncle, you understand, but just an old friend of fa­ ther's-->1 don't know how old, but he looked every day of it, and more. We called him uncle because he appeared that way. Aunt Chesterfield had tic douloureux, which used to cause her to make up the awfulest faces. I realize now that it was from pain, but at that age I used to laugh, whereupon she saicl I was a wicked boy. She also had a brown wig and rheumatism. Uncle Chesterfield didn't have anything but just warts--I think I counted 70--and Aunt Chesterfield. But I heard father tell mother that was enough. Mother put them into the spare cham­ ber, where the old fashioned canvas bot­ tom bed was with the white valance. There Were also some green worsted lamp mats on the bureau. We all said good night, father wound up the clock and everybody went to bed. I was always a sound sleeper as a boy, so you must know that Aunt Chesterfield had to shriek pretty loud to got me out, but she did it, and could have fetched me, I think, if I had been dead. I got right up and ran into the spare chamber before anybody could stop me. Aunt Chesterfield was sitting in the middle of the bed in a red flannel night­ gown. I didn't know her at first, be­ cause her mouth was wide open, shriek­ ing, and her face twisted with tic dou­ loureux, and the whitest, shiniest head you ever saw, which I remembered with copious locks of brown. But I saw how that was in a minute, for there was Na­ poleon over in the corner with a brown wig in his mouth, which he was tossing and worrying and carrying on dreadful­ ly. Uncle Chesterfield you couldn't see at first, but by and by you found -him with his legs stuck through the arms of a rocking chair, and every time he moved Napoleon would growl, not being acquainted with Uncle Chesterfield, and he was almost scared to death. They took the stage back to Jay Cor­ ners the very next day. Mother was dreadfully shocked, but I noticed that father didn't get excited. "I wonder who let that dog up stairs?" heeaid musingly after the stage was gwne. • I intended to say that I didn't know, but I got to stammering and mixed my­ self up, and before I realized what I was doing I blurted the truth right out and said that I did. Father gave me a quarter. I didn't know what for, but I supposed at the time that it was for telling the truth. "But the dog must go, "he added "His appetite is growing too indiscrim- inative." So we sold him to a man who kept a farm, and who soon afterward shot him for biting a calf on the legs. Napoleon used to do that to book canvassers when he was with us, and nobody found any fault with him, but on a farm it is dif­ ferent.--W. O. Fuller, Jr., in Rockland Tribune. Doesn't Cost Much.

Can any »ne explain to me the secret of the popularity of the detestable mode of singing which Is how practiced so ex­ tensively in our city? I need scarcely add that I refet to what is commonly called the tremolo. It came into fashion about 40 years ago and is it not tame that that fashion should die a natural death?, Mme. La Grange was the first who introduced it here! She was much heralded, and therefore was believed to be a fine singer--to the. extent that she. dtew fair audiences for a short time. But people soon wearied of her peculiar style and ceased going to hear her. She was passee when she,came to'this coun­ try, and it was said that it was to cover a broken down voice that she had re­ course to the now hackneyed vibrata; How ever, m any deluded singers, consid- * ering that her style must be dne of the • good things which come to us from Eu- .rope, strove, but too successfully, to im­ itate it. When I was studying Vocal music, great care was taken to impress upon my mind the extreme importance and beauty of a firm, pure and steady tone, with its gradual crescendo and diminu­ endo. Ah, with what infinite pains 'I tried to produce my notes without a shadow of wavering or change of qual­ ity ! And now to think that the beauti­ ful sostenuto is considered of but small, account by so many people who, I main­ tain, ought to know better! I have seen' a roomful of people moved to tears by a pathetic song rendered by a well sus­ tained voice, and witli distinct enuncia­ tion of the words. Yet who would erver dream of weeping over the most touch­ ing ballad in the world when sung in - the miserable, shaky style now in vogue, which leaves the listener in doubt as to whether he is hearing sung C sharp or D, F sharp or G? Among the best of vocalists belonging to our city and its vicinity this tremolo is often adopted. For some reasoBTBo- pranos and baritones use it most fre­ quently, and I may add ad nauseam. It is more than disagreeable on the stage and in the parlor. It is beyond endur­ ance when it obtrudes itself in the church service. No place or occasion is safe from its impertinent intrusion. I have heard a soprano of good standing profane the lofty strains of "I Know That My Redeemer Liveth" by her tremulous rendering, obnoxious as it was inappropriate. -- Cor. New York Tribune. The Powder Making Family. A strange heritage was that bequeath­ ed to his children by Eleuthere Irenee Du Pont de Nemours, when, driven from France by the revolution, he came to the faraway state of Delaware, and with skill in chemistry, acquired under the great Lavoisier, set to york in 1802, making gunpowder for civilized wqrld, if a world civilized that uses sojdSuct wealth he prepared for hi the family fortunes todaj nearly $100,000,000. But along with the riches he left a dread responsibility that presses down relentlessly upon every son and grandson. "Thou shalt not rest; thou shalt not fear," is written on the brow of every Du Pont child, and read in the life of every Du Pont man. If ever a family was brave, it is the Du Ponts; if ever a family had need of bravery, it is they. . The Du Pouts monopolize the gun­ powder business of America, controlling 28 of the 32 mills in this country. They do this by confiding to no one, not even to the archives of the patent office, their secret methods of composition, their spe­ cially devised machinery, and all the lore of gunpowder making that has ceme to them through generations. This in­ herited kuowledge is the family treas­ ure, and to guard it inviolate the Du Pouts must be their own mechanics, chemists, superintendents and engineers, must speud hours everyday in the mills, must live with the menace of sudden and frightful death always about them. --McClure'a Magazine. jlerica and the ! can be called of it. Vast descendants, uniting into Chinese Cooking. This knowledge of what we are pleased to call artificial digestion runs largely through all Chinese cooking. Whenever meats, especially the heavy and indiges­ tible class, are to be employed as food, the cook increases their assimilative character by the use of peptoniferous tripe and vinegar. I have often out of curiosity examined the numerous made dishes of the Mongolian cuisine with a view to ascertaining their constitution. Whether it was soups or stews, ragouts or fricassees, pot roasts or boiled, I have found tripe finely shredded Or thinly sliced in three dishes out of every five. The ratio was largest in households of wealth, where well paid cooks were the rule, and smallest in those where the conditions were otherwise. As they dis­ covered the peptic virtue of tripe in all food animals, they likewise found the same quality in the gizzard of the bird kingdom. They have employed the giz­ zard even more liberally in their cook­ ing than they have the tripe, and they regard it, as is the scientific truth, as the most valuable of all animal tissues. " An Ex-Consul to Amoy" in Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. Interfering With Natural Selection. For countless ages hand to hand com­ bat has been, the means of selecting the most hardy and robust individuals to perpetuate their race. Now, however* the magazine' rifle and smokeless powder will probably exercise a potent influence in the reverse direction. Not only is the smallest and most-insignificant individ­ ual now capable of inflicting as much injury upon the foe as the most robust, but he offers a much" smaller target to his adversary, and has therefore a better chance of escape.
