A MAMMOTH AERoLITE.-What is
believed to be the largest aerolite ever
known to have fallen is lying in the
Caspian Sea, short distance f.'om the
peninsula of Apsheron. In falling the
aerolite made most terrific noise as it
rushed through the air with Incredible
speed. ard the white hot mass made
u light that illumins ted the country and
sea around for 4 great distance. When
it struck the water imme lse clouds of
steam arose, and the his ing could be
heard for a great distance. Huge
masses of water were thrown upward,
and the sight was beautii"Il one. So
enormous is the aerolite that it projects
twelve feet above the water, and save for
its fused black crust, which gives it the
appearance of having been vanished,
it has every appearance of being one of
the usual rocky formations met with
along the coast. Scientists are deeply
interested in the phenomenon, and Il
number of them are making prepara-
tions to visit the peninsula to examine
the aerolite.

The SQUIRRELS WERE IN 1T.-A
good story is told on Fredericksburg
gentleman who attended the unveiling
of the Hill monument at Richmond.
Being little wearied he sat down on
one of the benches in the Capitol park.
Previously he had bought bag of pea
nuts, which he put in his pocket. IN
a Sort time he fell asleep. The many
passers-by were attracted by the novel
sight of dozens of squirrles that had
been attracted by the smell of the nuts
diving in and out of his pockets, sitting
on his shoulders and knees quietly
cracking and eating the nuts.

APricst Scnt to Prison.

AT Montana, Italy, trial ended in
the sentence of priest to 90 years
penal servitude for the murder of a
young woman of that place. The vic
tim, Nicoletta Cito by name, was mar
ried, and her husband had gone to
America to gain his fortune. Mean
while the young grass widow was over
whelmed with attentions from would
be lovers, attracted by her beauty. She
was evidently only annoyed by these
attentions, and led q life of severe piety,
attending church at every opportunity,
in order, it was said, to discourage all
the more the umwelcome attentions of
her ardent admirers.
Unfortunately, however, her beauty
had a baneful effect upon the priest,
young Father Delucca, with whom Nj
coletta's visits to the church brought
her into frequent companionship. De-
lucca soon fell madly in love with the
young woman, who seemed to have
flirted heartlessly with him, for
the purpose, apparently, of the
Dcllci COuCcdllHS lIc ldcU llldU SIG
had at last yielded to the opportunities
of a suitor who had succeeded where so
many others had failed in winning her
heart away from her husband. Deluc-
ca in course Of time, discovered the de-
ception which had been practiced upon
him, and at the same time became
aware of the tickle woman's sinful liza
ison. Furious with jealous rage, he
traced the lovers to their trysting place
where he surprised them and attacked
them with a bludgeon. The man tried
to escape alive, after a severe beating,
but Nicolctta received such serious in
juries that she died two days after
ward, having in the meantime de-
nounced the priest as her murderer.
The trial which has just ended was
the occasion of great excitement among
the people of all the country round,
and the sentence Of the accused TO a
long term of Imprisonment was re-
ceived with cheers from the crowd in
the court room. The fact that still
more severe sentence was not pro-
nounced is due to the provocation
which the woman hadgiven the murder
Grand to the circumstance that he was
priest, there being very strong senti-
ment against the extreme penalty be-
ing inflicted upon one who has worn
the sacred cloth.

Then Out Spoke a Bachelor.

They were very pretty and there was ap-
parently five or six years difference in
their ages. As the train pulled up at Rus
sey the younger girl blushed, hattened her
nose nervously against the window and
drew back in joyous smiles as a young man
came dashing into the car, shook hands
Genderly and cordially, insisted on carrying
her valise, magazine, paper bundle, and
would probably have carried her had she
let him.
The passengers smiled as she left, and the
murmur went ripping through the coach.
They're engaged"
The other girl sat looking nervously out
of the window, and once or twice gathered
her parcels together, as though she would
leave the car, yet seemed to be expecting
some one.
At last he came. He bulged into the
door like house on fire, looked along the
seats until his manly gaze fell upon the
upturned, eXpectant face, roared, Come
on; I've been waiting for you on the plat
form for fifteen minutes" grabbed her
basket, and strobe out of the car, while she
followed with a little valise, bandbox, a
paper bag full of lunch, birdcage, a glass
jar of jelly preserves and an extra shawl.
And a crusty looking old bachelor in the
farther end of the car croaked out, in uni
son with the indignant looks of the passen
gers, They're married. ',,-Pittsburg Dis

PrOprietics of Amateur Singing.

A woman should choose her songs as
she chooses her bonnets and gowns, with
reference to what is becoming. This in
wolves not only her style and appearance,
but her temperamental hair and com
plexion. When one hears in drawing
room a woman who weighs nearly 200
pounds singing II Would Be Birding" I"
and young rosy checked girl bewailing
the ashes of dead and gone passion,
the sense of incongruity is apt to over
balance the value of the song. The gray
haired woman who wants to be a gypsy
maid and trip to the light guitar, and
the dimpled girl asking in musical
phrases to be buried amid natures beau
ties are anomalies of which the eye and
ear take note.
The decline of drawing room music
has FASTENED almost in the measure that
interest in music has increased. Para
doxical as it may seem. interest in music
has helped to destroy love of music. 1t
is not the song, but the way it is sung
that claims attention. The musical
amateur challenges comparison and
criticism by singing the music after the
manner of the concert stage. Neither
the manner nor the methods of the con-
cert hall belong to the drawing room.
The difference in focus is every differ
