The Scotch trilling of the +, the deep

several other things will not be well at

and vet sufficient familiarity with
Scottish pronunciation and idioms to en-
able one to sing an easy Scotch song or
relate Scotch anecdotc, is qualitica-

aspire.
I'VE must first get right, writes Will

Scotch is simple sound. 1t does not
end in 90. There is no movement OF
the mouth during the sounding OF it.
There is some advantage in having the
English sound; it widens the scope OF
oul pronunciation. An average Scotch
man cannot make Ito our ears, and usu,

A CITY OF TRAGEDIES.
Mysterious Disappearance of Noted Ter
sons In the Turkish Capital

Mysterious Disappearance OF Noteu TER
sons In the Turkish Capital.
Constantinople is the place par excel
lence for mysterious tragedies, and, in
credible as it may appear at the close
of this matter-of-fact nineteenth CEN
tury, great men of European reputa-
ton are put out OF the world almost
every day without attracting any I'M
usual attention, says the New York
Recorder. The last victim has been
Ali Saib Pasha, minister of war, who
the day before his death had long in
terview with the sultan, partaking OF
several cups of coffee at the palace. a
few hours later he was found a corpse
at his own house. Some say that II
was case of suicide, but the latter is
crime which is absolutely repulsive to
every true believer in the prophet.
Others again say that he died of heart
disease, while the majority allege that
his death was due either to cup of
coffee or bowstring. He is but one of
a number of prominent statesmen who
have thus come to an untimely end. To
this day no one knows whathas become
of Midhat Pasha, at one time prime
minister, and famed throughout Eu.
rope as the most enlightened of orien-
tai statesmen. The last heard of him
was that he had died in exile at Mecca.
An equal mystery surrounds the pres
ent condition both of the sex-khedive Is
mail of Egypt and the ex-sultan Mu-
rad. The death of both has frequently
been rumored throughout the city,
while if they are alive their fate is but
little better, for they are close prison
ers in the palaces which have been al
looted to them. Grave doubts exist as
to whether Murad has ever been Sc
,riously insane, and it is popularity be.

mented and incapable of governing be-
cause the sheik vi Islam, together with
the softas, was convinced that he was
about to inaugurate all kinds of west

ure of the throne depends entirely on
the mental condition of his predecessor.
For, if the shiek ul Islam were to de.
clare tomorrow that Murad had recov.
cred his senses, Abdul Hamids prestige
and authority, both spiritual and tenn,
poral, would be at an end Under the
circumstances it is scarcely surprising
that the sultan should look forward
with feelings of relief to the eventual.
ity of Murad's death.

THE LABOR OF ACTING.
Great Results Obtained Only by the Most
Exact Discipline.

Exact Discipline.
On first visiting French theater an
American will be struck by its small
ness, says writer in the Atlantic's
contributors club. True, the edifce
holds good many people, but somehow
the architectural conformation enables
the eager audience to cluster about the
stage, tier above tier, at no great dis
lance therefrom. Then can one note
how important is the finish Of the actor,
the nuances coming into play admira-
bly,; not shade of expression, not
single meditation in quality of tone
failing to deliver its message. Is it
strange that in France the art of acting
should attain a polish unknown else
where?
When Sergeant Talfourd's play of
Ion was in rehearsal the production
was entrusted to the skillful hands of
Macready, at once the ablest actor and
most exacting manager on the British
stage. He insisted upon having the
curtain scenes" or picturesque group

fully chalked, the position of each char

Kean), was found, before the perform.

Young and undisciplined actors, ac-

were wont to regard Mr.. Macready with
something akin to terror, and to stig-
Matte as artificial his relentless accu-
racy and precision in details. There is
undoubtedly something perilously fas-
cinating about the effortless productive

as genius, and which, as it vouchsafes
no hint Of toll, is seemingly the gift of

the matter, the more we shall be inclined

Forbidden BY a Subject.

The following story has been going
the rounds: During his visit to He'll
goland, the German Emperor, wish
ing to study the Notifications Of the
island, expressed an intention to
make an ascent In a balloon which is
kept for the purpose. Against this
project the Emperor's brother and
other officers protested, alleging that
the Emperor should not risk his per-
sonal safety In a balloon, even q cap
tive one.
The Emperor still persisted, when
General Won 'IIahuke placed himself
bodily in his soyereign's way, blocking
the path, and at the same time declar-
ing that a law Of Prussia forbade the
King to risk his person unnecessarily,
or to ''traveloutside OF Europe" with
out the permission of the upper
branch of the Prussian legislature.
The Emperor would violate this law,
he declared. If he assembled in the bal
loon.
The Emperor who, as every one
knows, has the reputation of being a
very headstrong man, stood still a
momentwhile the officers about looked
on in wonder at the spectacle of a sub
ject opposing physical force to the
monarch's will. Then the Emperor
embraced General Won Hahnke, as
sured him that he was entirely right,
and afterwards presented him with
the grand cross Of the Order Of the
House of the Hohenzollern.

He took from one pocket a cigarette

The Dukes death follows closely

about eight months, during which
time he has delighted the crew and

to be served for Christmas, but dur

rooster with one which entirely
equaled it, aud upon this Dick ruff
fed his feathers and looked threaten
ing, only to,be met by n quite as
defiant. This was more than he could
stand, and after prancing around q
little he advanced to the attack, be-
ing promptly met by the ether roos-
tor. Then ensued a very c0mical en-
counter, for Dick struck at this VEN
tilator with bill and spur, getting
more and more mad every minute,
and furnishing side-splitting amuse.
ment to Officers and men, who were
interested spectators, until finally
from sheer exhaustion, he was obliged
TO give up the fight and retire, hav-
ing only the satisfaction of finding
that the other rooster retired like
wise. This curious deluslon lasted
several weeks, and it became a CON-
mon thing to see Dick either sullenly
glaring at that other one, or actively
engaged in trying to damage him.
The crew were very fond Of him, and
when they went ashore for target
practice On an island Dick was al
lowed q run on shore. AT Ensenada,
Argentine Republic, the ships lay
alongside the Jtone docks of the Grand
canal and Dick was soon ashore owe

to which he promptly gave battle.
He fought him In the advance and re.

no damage and confined themselve to
short dashes, barks and threats from
the dog and determined striking and
squirting on tho part OF the rooster.
Dick several times had these fights
and at one time held three dogs at
bay. He is most p%ugnacious and at.
