How toc Young Duke OF Burgundy Was
Reclaimed by FencIOn.

How t1o Young Duke OF Burgundy Was
Reclaimed by Fcnclon.
Plato thought that boys are the most
untamable of wild beasts, and his
opinion has had eminent supporters.
Pope probably meant much the same
thing when he said that schoolboys
have no character.
In view of this opinion, the story of
Fenelon and the young Duke of Bur
gundy has a peculiar significance.
There is, indeed, no more signal exam
pie OF the immense importance of well
conceived, we'll directed methods of
education than the transformation
which Fenelon wrought in his royal
pupil.
A moro intractable subject probably
never exercised the wits and patience
OF his instructor. Before he was
placed in the hands of Fenelon, tho
duke was in simple truth much more
of a wild beast than q rational human
being.
Ono of his chief pleasure was in
kicking and biting all his attendants
who approached him. At times he
refused TO speak a word for hours. On
other occasions he would not eat,
though tempted with all tho triumphs
of the royal cooks.
His grandfather, Louis XIV, had
been at infinite pains to obtain for him
the most judicious attendants and
tutors; but all had given up their
charge as hopeless At length Fen
elon was called in.
Fenelon was not without experience
in dealing with young people, and he
had already written book on educa
sion; but his peculiar fitness for the
task he had undertaken was that of
character unique in charm and sym
pathetic insight.
In Fenelon's dealings with his pu-
pill he had one leading idea, to which
perhaps educationists have not given
the importance il deserves This idea
was that for every individual there is
one poet who above all others appeals
to the deepest instincts of his nature,
and is therefore fitted TO be one of the
highest forces in educing the best
qualities Of his mind and heart.
Fenelon had not been long with his
pupil before he discovered that with
all his ungovernablc passions he had
"Virgilian sOul"-in other words,
that in the depths of the boys nature
there was that which responded to the
grace and tenderness which distinguish
Virgil above all other poets.
Virgil accordingly was made the in
strument through whom he sought to
effect his ends. The result exceeded
his hopes. Virgil did indeed become
the dukes favorite poet, and the chief
formative influence of his brief life

PATHS Jealous Fits.

Lucy Hooper, writing of Potti's re-
cent performance in Paris, says: 1.-THE
diva was far from feeling content with
her reception, though she was enthusi-
astically applauded and received myri-
ads of bouquets. But Nine. Patti is
not only frenziedly jealous of any
prima donna whose renown so much
as approaches her own, but she can
not endure that any singer in the COM
pany, male or female, shall achieve q
success while singing with her. On
the first night Jean dc Rescke, as
Romeo, won such triumph, especially
i'll the balcony scene, that at the close
of the act Mime. Patti went into hyster-
les and declared that she would not
finish the opera-an apology must be
made for her and tho audience dis
missed. It took all the persuasive
powers of the directors to induce the
jealous little woman to bring the per-
formance to a conclusion. Nine. Patti,
who IS AZ years old, is beginning to
feel tho advance OF time, and is con-
sequently twice as cantankerous and
quarrelsome aS she ever was before.
Ii is now question as to her success
sor in the role of Juliet. There is still
talk Of the unlucky debutantc, Mile.
Darclec, whose breaking down at the
dress rehearsal brought about the en-
gagement in hot haste of Mime. Patti.
But it is also whispered that Mime.
Marchesi's Australian pupil, Nine.
Melba, will be called upon to assume
tho role. Chicago journal.

Facts About Immigration.

Ono-fifth of the immigration to this
port from Europe last year was from
two countries which have only re-
Gently begun to contribute to our pop
ulation-Italy and Russia. The re-
port from Castle Garden shows that
out of 3S3, $50 immigrants for the year
43, 6S3 were Italians and 32, ,937 were
Russians. The immigration from these
two countries was as high as that from
Germany, and the immigration from
Italy alone was just about equal to
that from Ireland. We are informed
that very nearly the whole body of
immigrants classified as Russians"
belonged to the Hebrew race, and that
they find life here so much more de-
sirablc than they found it under the
car Of Russia that they are encour-
aging their brethren whom they left

smooth rcwfoundiands.

Many years ago. while living in
Boston, knew ship master engaged
in the Newfoundland trade. TO him !
gave an order to buy for me in that
island one of the native dogs, and ex-
pected to get one Of the we'll known
big, long haired animals. The captain,
however, brought me female puppy
of a smooth, short haired breed, which
he said was considered by gunners in
Newfoundland as the best of water
dogs. When yearold Fanny was
about the size of small pointer, say
eighteen or twenty inches, with short
black hair on body and tail. the latter
straight, ears small and rather pointed
and with a wild and somewhat wolfish
eye, like that Of an Indian dog. She
was rather savage in temper except
to myself, and would fight any
dog of either sex. When she was
about year old l took her with
me to Chicago, and the first time I
had her out duck hunting she brought
out my ducks like a trained retriever
though she had never before seen q
gun fired. She could swim and dive
like an otter and no crippled bird
could escape her. She would dive off
of the Chicago pier and bring up a
white object from the bottom in eigh-
teen or twenty feet of water. In those
days plenty of ducks could be found
on the river just outside the village, for
Chicago was then little more in 1910.
On the river banks lived Irish squat
ters who kept geese, and the first time
l took Fan along the river she attacked
Il flock of tame geese, killed the gan
der and brought him to me, and had
70 pay the enraged old woman who
owned the geese. Forest and Stream.

The Eccentric Duchess of Montrose.

Iue eccentric DucheSS Ot MOutrOse.
The Duchess of Montrosc is very
fond of dress. Her favorite color Is
scarlet and when this elderly lady
(she is 20, believe) is gotten up in
toilet of her favorito hue, supplemented
with n scarlet ulster, her appearance is
certainly peculiar She is extremely
popular with the lower orders, to
whom her grace is we'll known by
sight from her constant Reorganization
of race courses. Curiosity took her to
go to take look at the great Socialist
demonstration in Hyde park. On ar
irving there she was instantly ap
preached by number of roughs. who
proceeded to give her some good
natured advice. Now, your grace,
don't stay here-go home and take
care of yourself-it isn't fit place for
you" ''Well, boys, I'll go, answered
the lady good humoredly. And as she
turned away some one in the crowd
cried, Three cheers for Caroline,
Duchess of Montrose" an appeal that
met with a hearty response. Imagine
a meeting of British Socialists cheering
a duchess!" continued my informant.

NInterinl In a Steamer.

The amount of material necessary in
the construction of q 200 ton steamer
is simply astonishing. 1t takes 10000
lineal feet of timber, 25 tons for hog
chains, and i'll all 80 tons of iron, 120
bales of oakum to calk the seams, and
fully 1000 worth of paint. The cost
of such boat at the yards runs about
$50. 200. to which an additional sos, 900
may be added for furnishing. Ittakes
generally about five months to put up
a 800 ton boat, and it should last ten
years with ordinary care. When the
hull of boat is finished every nook
and corner is filed with salt, about 100
barrels being used for 1,200 ton boat.
This is done to prevent the rotting Of
the timber, and strangely enough, the
cabins and upper works usually decay
much sooner than the hull.

Ni,ro-C,,vocrine for Disease.

Nitro-glyccrine bids fair, say the
doctors, TO become an important rem
edy for diseases of the kidneys; and ex-
perimcnts arc now making in cases of
Bright's disease. Nitro-glycerino of a
pure quality, possessing all the explo-
sivc powers of tho substance, is pre-
pared in alcohol (Which removes the
explosive quality in the proportion of
one part of the nitro-glycerine to
ninety-ninc of alcohol, and is then
prepared with sugar or milk in tablets.
Thus prepared, it is called 'Trinitrin. "

Thomas Benton ,,ui the Boy.

Many years ago slim built youth

''Look in the editorial column to-
morrow and see what is said of your

The youth did so, and found a
scathing article denouncing the firm
for overlooking its messengers and
treating them like beasts of burden.
But before the man had left the boy in
the park he asked him to look Mt the
portrait in the front part of the books

Wasted EIouuence.

Rather IN amusing episode occurred
on an incoming Baltimore and Ohio
train the other morning. A travelling
man boarded the train about daylight
at q station few miles out of the city.
Being communicative, he engaged his
seat mate, a gentleman, in converse
ton, ascertaining before many min
utes that he was just from New Haven.
With all the volubility of his tribe and
the enthusiasm of the average Chica-
goan, he began to discourse on the
wonderful growth and enterprise Of
the northwest in general and Chicago
in particular contrasting it with 1.-The
slow going east" to use his own
phrase. I've only lived here three
years." said he, "but, / tell you, I've
seen improvements enough in that
short time to make your eastern fell
lows heads swim"
Then, as the train wound slowly
along the lake shore, he pointed out
numerous recent improvements, vari
Gus localities that had under his
observation been transformed from
sandy wastes or bowling Wilderness
to city boulevards and handsome
dwellings, all the time watching his
listeners face Scr signs Of astonish-
ment. He, hsUDver, seemed either
obtuse or unappreciative, and as the
train slowed up at the Twenty-second
street station, gathered up his belong
ings to leave the car. Have you ever
stopped in the city before2" queried
tho talkativc drummer "Oh, yes, {"
