/ have heard on good authority that
there is an interesting relic preserved in
Alnwick castle to which a romantic
legend is attached. The treasured relic
is a lady's reticule, such as was COM
monty carried seventy years ago-more
or less-and which did the duty of a
pocket. On the night preceding the
battle of Waterloo tho Duke of Yelling
ton and his chief officers attended a ball
at Brussels, given by the duchess of
Richmond, and Maj. Percy, who was
present, became deeply interested in q
lady whom he met for the first time.
When ''midnight brought the signal
sound of strife" and Maj. Percy and the
lady had to part with mutual regret, he
begged Of her some souvenir Of their
happy meeting, and she resigned to him
her reticule. Next day came the [great
battle, and Maj. Percy was selected to
convey to Lord Bathurst the dukes
famous dispatch, with its admirable de-
scription of the contest, dated Waterloo,
June 10, 1915. The precious document
was conveyed to the minister, In the
treasured reticule. The story as told to
me ended with the sad conclusion that
the major searched in vain for the owner
of the r~eticule, aud they never afterward
met. Notes and Queries,

/ have often taken occasion to remark
that the world is awaiting the appear
nnce of three Inventors, greater than any
who have gone before and to whom it
will accord honors and emoluments far
exceeding all ever yet received by any Of
their predecessors. The first Is he who
will show US how, by the combustion Of
fuel, directly to produce the electric cur
rent; the second is the man who will
teach us to reproduce the beautiful light
of the glow worm and the FREELY. a light
without heat, the production OF which
means the utilization OF energy without
that still more serious waste than the
thermo dynamic now met with in the
attempt to produce light; while the third
is the inventor who is tc give us the first
practically successful air ship.
Tho first two of these problems IRE set
for the electrical engineer, and we may
be pardoned excess of faith should 1t
prove to be such, when, contemplating
the enormous gain to humanity which
nus come of such inventions, we look
confidently for the genius who is to null
tiply the wealth Of the world to an ex-
tent beside which even the boon con-
ferred by the creators of the steam engine
and the telegraph will not appear over
shadowing. WSS1'this inventor comes
forward. and most probably not till then,
it is very likely that we shall see steam
superseded by a rival.-Thurston in
Forum.

Is continually going on in the human sys-
EN-. The demon of impure blood strives
to gain victory over the constitution, to
ruin health, to drag victims to the grave.
A good reliable medicine like Hoods Sar-
%sarparilla is the weapon with which to
defend ones self, drive the desperate
enemy from the field, and restore peace
and bodily health for years. Try this
peculiar medicine.

An old hotel steward said yesterday
that it is impossible to restrict a large
proportion of the loss of portable articles
In hotels This loss is not SO much due
TO theft as to carelessness and hurry on
the part of maids and men and women
who carry off h teaspoons they nave
been using in their rooms, pack up the
hotel towels by mistake, and break a good
deal that is only missed when an inventory
Is AIKEN. This steward said that a large
hotel collects spoons, napkins and towels
stamped with the names of almost all the
large hotels in the country, and Of names
In Europe, The spoon packed away with
the child's medicine by a maid in Paris
is, perhaps, next brought to light in a
New York hotel, where it is sent down
TO the kitchen when no longer needed.
Thus these little but costly things travel
about and defy safe keeping. There is a
great deal of theft, of course. Servant
women wrap tablecloths and sheets
around their persons, walters pocket
forks, spoons. knives and napkins, and
bartenders and their helpers carry off
bottles of liquors. AS far as possible,
large hotels board and house their help,
because that makes it more difficult for
theft to be practiced.
But the leakage remains very great.
In one case that a be certified to, a
clever waiter established his wife at the
e of a boarding house and furnished
her tableware, liner and a great deal Of
the food that was eaten from his stealings
from the different places where he was
employed.-New York Sun.

Russian raste In coiorn.

While our steamer was lying at the
landing at Kazan l noted a chocolate
brown house with yellow window shut
tiers and a green roof: a lavender house
with a shining tin roof; a crimson house
with an emerald roof; n sky blue house
with q red roof; an orange house with
an olive ROOF. a house painted a bright
metallic green all over; a house diversified
with dark blue, light blue, red green
and chocolate brown; and, finally, a
most extraordinary building which dis
played the whole chromatio scale within
the compass Of three stories and an attic.
What permanent effect, II any, Is pro-
duced upon the optic nerves Of the in
habitants by the habitual contemplation
of their brilliantly colored and sharply
contrasted dwellings / am unable to say;
but l no longer wonder that "prekrasni, "
the Russian word for beautiful" means
literally Every red."-George KEENAN, in

An old hunter In Mexico gave to the
author of ''Summerland Sketches" his
experience with a f~avorite hound, which
exhibited feelings that would honor hui
manity:
you have no idea" said he, ''how
they get used to you il you are alone
with them for weeks together; the worst
of it Is that 1t comes 30 awful hard on a
fellow to lose a creature Of that kind.

Baltimore in go. ! had him nearly
eight years, and / tell you, sir, | felt ike

Mexicans poisoned him because he

but l was thinking of all the scrapes we
had helped each other out of-we had
frozen and starved together all over
Texas and Arkansas-and / couldn't kill
him while there was a ghost Of n chance
Of his pulling through"
The voice of the old rough became in
articulate at the recollection. He had
spread the dogs couch at the side of his
own bed and patted his shaggy coat till
he lay silent and m~otionIess.
But late in the evening, when the logs
in the fireplace had fickered almost their
last, the hound raised his head and placed
it upon his masters arm, looked into his
eyes and sank back dead, like the last
pressure OF a human hand, "a farewell

terested in what be was saying and their
chairs gradually drew closer and closer
together till it ann to pass that the
watcher on the other side Of the folding
doors observed her husbands arm steal
round the waist of the young lady.
This was more than the indignant wife
could stand, and she crept quietly behind
the ~preoccupied couple and aimed a slap
at the girl which would probably have
lifted her head from her shoulders. So
powerful was it that it knocked the
whole scene completely out The
dreamer awoke, and so did her husband,
and likewise the baby. The gas was
turned up and revealed a very surprised
looking group. The baby was the most
surprised of all The slap Intended for
the dreamer's rival had alighted full on
the curly, golden head of her son.

Romani began to teach bis pupils by
what he called breathing lessons,
whereby he made them expand their
lungs so as to strengthen them, and at
the same time acquire the habit of re-
tanning sufficient breath To finish a long
sentence of cadenza without interrupting
IL. Once he had ascertained the register
OF thev voice, whether it was bass, bari
tone or tenor. mezzo soprano or con-
tralto, he Immediately obliged his pupil
to promise him on his honor not to at
tempt to force n single note above or
below his natural register. This art Of
breathing is one of the first taught In the
great Conservatives of Europe. The
pupil takes a looking glass and stands be-
fore 1t, throws back his chest, puts his
feet together in a straight line and begins
to fill his lungs gradually with air, keep
ing the mouth wide open, with a smiling
expression. When the lungs are full he
beats with his fingers generally from
three up to about fifty strokes before he
Allows the breath to escape very slowly
from the open mouth without closing the
mouth at all.
These exercises, repeated for about a
quarter of an hour three or four times a
day, u~nquestionably benefit the health
and imperceptibly but rapidly increase
the volume Of sound emitted. In about
two months the pupil begins to add to
these breathing exercises others, in which
he draws his breath in the same manner,
but pronounces each of the vowels at first
pianissimo, and increasing gradually by
degrees to fortissimo-almost to a shout.
Singers, of course, replace these simple
sounds by solfeggi and other vocallzes.

BIRDS LEARNING TO SING.
A Common but Erroneous Impression
Several Interesting Cases.


Several Interesting Cases-
Most people probably imagine that
birds sing by instinct; that the song Of
the robin is as natural to him as his red
breast that the blue bird is not more
liable to change its note han its color;
n that, untaught the nightingale will
always sing the same beautiful song.
This common impression, however, is
Young birds will never sing
the song peculiar to their tribe II they
have never heard it, but II associated
with some other bird, will learn its song
instead. A redstart once built its nest
under the caves of q house where a Gagged
chaffinch hung in a window underneath.
The redstart learned the chaffinch's song.
Another redstard was noticed to repeat
the notes Of a blackcap which had its
nest close by.
The winchat INT wheatear have nat
urally but little variety Of notes, but will
become much better songsters IL confined
with other birds, and the bullfnch can
be taught to whistle complete tunes, al
though its own natural notes are harsh
and insignificant On the other hand,
the nightingale in confinement will some
times exchange is own beautiful song
for that of some other bird that 1t may
hear. The Hon. DANES harrington says
that he saw a linnet which had been
taken from the nest when only two or
three days old, and which, not having
any other sounds to initiate, almost
learned to a~rticulate, and could repeat
the words pretty boy and some other
short sentences. He educated nesting
linnets under the three best singing larks
the skylark, ~woodlark and titlark-
every one of which, instead Of the lin
nets song, adhered entirely to that Of
their respective instructors. When the
note of the titlark was thoroughly fixed,
he hung the linnet which had learned II
in a room for three months with W
common linnets which were In full song.
The educated linnet, however, never Dor
rowed any passage from the other lin
nets, but adhered steadfastly TO that Of
the titlark which it had learned.
At Knighton, in Radnorshire, he saw
a goldfnch which sung exactly like a
wren, and uttered no proper note of Its
species. This bird had been taken from
the nest when it was two days old, and
was hung in a window opposite a small
garden, where 1t had, no doubt, heard
and learned the wren's song, having
never had the opportunity to learn that
of the goldhnch. Birds taken from the
nest two or three weeks old nave already
learned the call notes Of their species.
These AID many similar facts go to prove
that birds do not sing by instinct. They
learn their songs from their parents. II
they have no opportunity Of hearing the
song peculiar to their species, they never
sing it, but will learn any other instead;
just as an American child taken to
France when a few weeks old would
never speak English If he never heard it,
but would learn to speak French. -Popu-
lar Science Monthly.
