A Musical Dog.

A gentleman in this city is the owner
of small scotch terrier that shows de-
cided taste for music. a young lady,
his daughter, is taking lessons on the
piano, and many hours are given to the
practice. One day when the dog was in
the room he showed great interest i'll the
piano. He jumped upon the table and
looked st it, ran under and around it,
and leaped upon it and peered into it. us
if trying to find out where the sounds
came from. One day when the young
lady was playing the dog tried to initiate
the notes. Afterward, while she was
practicing, the dog almost daily would
try TO sing. he did not bark nor howl,
as dogs will often do ut the sound OF
bells. Although he could notipronOunce
fla, sol, liz, mi. do, &C., he succeeded in Il
good imitation OF the notes. All this
was ut first i'm the presence of the lady.
When she told her mother and invited
her TO be present the dog would not sing.
By-and-by, however. his fondne>s tor
music overcame his bashfulness, and he
would sing in the presence OF the two
ladies. Afterward other members of the
family were called iii. and now the dog,
having conquered his modesty and gain
ed confidence in his own powers, will eX-
hibit his musical talents in the presence
of any comDany.-Troy (N. ~ Times.

The First Use of illuminating Gas.

Great was the amaZement OF all Eng
land when at the close Of the century
William Murdoch discovered the use of
combustible air or gas. So little was the
invention understood and believed in by
those who had not seen it i'm use that even
great and wise men laughed at the idea.
"HOw could there be light without a
wick 2" said member of Parliament
when the subject was brought before the
House. Even Sir Humphrey Davy ridi-
culed the idea of Lighting towns by gas,
and asked one of the proprietors If they
meant to take the dome OF st. Pauls Tor
gas meter. Sir Walter Scott. too. made
himself merry over the idea of illumina-
ting London by smoke, though he was
glad enough. not so long after, to make
his own house at AbbOtsfOrd light and
cheerful on winter nightsby the use OF
that very smoke. When the house of COM
mons was lighted by gas, the architect
| imagined that the gas ran on fire through
the pipes, and he therefore insisted on
their being placed several inches from the
wall, for fear of the building taking fire I;
and members might be observed care
fully touching the pipes with their gloved
hands, and wondering they did not feel
warm. The first shop lighted in London
by the new method was Mr.. Ackerman's.
in the Strand, in 1910; and one lady Of
rank was so delighted with the brilliancy
Of the gas lamp on the counter that she
asked to be allowed to take it home in
her carriage. Mr.. Murdoch, was, how
ever, too busy with other pursuits to con
tinue to study the use of gas, and though
he was undoubtedly the first to apply it
to practical purposes, many others laid
claim to the honor, and other people
quickly reaped the benefit OF his clever
ness and ingenuity. In this he shared
the general fate of inventOrs.-COdL

III. w. PARSONS.
This. of course. is the statement of
only one of the parties; but except on
impossible supposition that il is fabrica-
ton. it makes out a case which Ameri-
cans might well blush to have printed in
the English papers. 1t is precisely the
some old story so often heard before the
war. The credentials of Mr.. Parsons are
regarded as entirely satisfactory. and he
was laboring-as an incident Of a visit to
this country-to promote the cause of
temperance among the negroes whom he
met in trip south.
