Great Duck Dog.

Like the New Foundland, the Chesa-
peake bay dog is still to be found-with
the same capacity and aptitude for his
calling-in several strains, sizes, coats
and colors, long haired, short haired
and curly coated, red, brown or yellow
or sedge grass in color. Ha, ing gun
ned on one OF the choicest shores Of the
Gunpowder river for more than twenty
years, and consequently outlived many
early prejudices, can say that by far
the most satisfactory dog for the true
sportsman is the medium sized, "otter
coated" dead grass color, the shade Of
your shooting suit. This settles the
question Of color advantage. They do
not carry dead water to shake over you
like any long haired animal, and con-
sequently suffer less themselves, hav-
Ing n fine fur next to the hide. They
are powerful, fast swimmers, with scent
equal TO any dog OF the best breed.
The large dog tires quicker, is hard to
keep out OF sight and OF course is in the
way about tho blind. The endurance
of these dogs as breed and their intel
ligencc for their business IL almost be-
yond belief. But they arc unsatisfac-
tory for any other purpose; they know
duck-duck and nothing else.-FOrest

How 10 Breath. When Reading.

M. Legouve tells, the anecdote OF
Taliiia. watching ths actor Dorivttl
from the promptor's box until he dis
covered his secret, which consisted OF
taking fresh breath before the last
one was quite exhausted, and in doing
his best to conceal the beginning of
each phrase by starting whenever he
could on an q; . or an o-'that Is to
say; .at the pbint where the fact Of the
M5uth being already open makes it
possible to take breath lightly without
the action being perceived" Again,
Dele Sedie, the celebrated singer,
could run tip and down tbs sealo In
froht Of lighted candle without the
flame wavering "How is this done?"
It is because he employs exactly the
quantity OF breath needed to carry the
sound Of the notes. If you or were
to try 1t we should likely waste our
breath. In the chapter on "Pronun-
citation" M. Legouve insists, and the
point can scarcely be too ihith Pressed,
on the value, the absolute need. in
fact, of clear articulation as opposed
to mere exertion of voice. This he il
lustrated by story OF Bouffe when he
was playing Pere Grandet in the "Fille
de i'Ayte.H When he came to the
most touching scene of the piece.
when the old miser finds that he is
robbed, the actor began to
scream out the words rs he was ac-
customed to. At the end OF few min
utes the sound died away on his lips,
and he was compelled to continue III q
murmur. What happened? That he
was thousand times moro true and
more touching than before, because he
was obliged to make up for weakness
of voice by force of articulation. 1t is
true than one cannot speak without l
voice, but voice alone has so little tc
do with diction that there are readers

When twilight shadows fall around,
And all the scene is still,
In fancy's dream thy voice hear,
Like some soft 1nurmuring rill.
It comes to me so sweet and low,

And feel within my lonely heart
Thy angel voice hear.
How happy once we were, dear love,
AT this mild hour of eve;
No thought of parting came to cloud,
No dread to vex or grieve.
At last thy heart was made to feel
That would soon be left
To battle with this world alone,
OF all thy comfort reft.
The years were long since thou vert called
To thy Fathers home above,
And / toll on in constant hope

PROMISES LIKE PIE CRUST
Are Often Made Only To Be Broken.

PORTLAND, Sept. 28.-That the loco
motive and fifteen cars of rails did not
reach Astoria to-day as promised, is
solely the fault of the o. r. & n. Co.
Every condition demanded by the
agent of that company had been met,
and a promise made to load the ma
terial ON a barge Friday, which would
have reached Astoria to-day, but in
stead on Friday they loaded the barge
with limestone and dispatched her to

delay the laying of the South Coast
track till winter sets In. The promise
now is to load the barge sure OH Mon
day, but God only knows what other
excuse they will find. President
Reid declares if they don't go down
Monday he will countermand all or

their line. There are fifty-one cars

600 feet, 100000 feet and 25,0O0,.
600 feet of timber. One tree was
found to have blown down, which
they measured. 1t was 240 feet long
The diameter at the top was II inches
and at the butt 36 inches, making
