Anecdotes of Charne.

I must tell you one anecdote of our
friend Charlie which is perhaps the
most curious Of any 1 have to record
There were two young boys, brothers,
in the house, and their mother.
Charles mistress was in the habit Of
calling them by name, Reginald and
Albert, using certain familiar con-
fractions when she did so. 1t was no
wonder that Charlie caught these up;
but what will be said Of such an APP
plication of them as the following?
The bird, as with most parrots, was
not allowed water in his cage, so
when thirsty he would call, in what
may be termed his own voice;
"ReggieI Reggie-Reggie or Ber-
tie! Charlie wants some Water!"
Charlie has a great fondness for the
paste of which pie crust is made, and
this being known he was often treat
ed to a piece. He naturally looked
for this, and when forgotten he would
invite himself to have some in the
form of words which had doubtless
often been used by his mistress. He
would say:
Charlie, do you like paste? VIII
you have bit?" This would be said
in the voice Of his mistress or her
daughter. He would then add, in
quite a changed tone, -Oh ratheri"

Shrinps.

Shrimps are caught in the Gulf of
Mexico. The season lasts four months,
two in the spring and two in the
fall, and in that time tremendous
business is done IN the way Of catch

the trade, one hundred thousand cans

They are then taken to the canning
factories. The shrimps are placed
in large troughs. Girls who are eX-
perts in their line take them in hand.
With one twist they take off their
heads, and then with pressure at
the tail the shrimp is forced out.
After being taken from the shells the
shrimps are put in vat Of salt water,
and are cooked by means of steam
pipes running through the vats.
Then they are put in little gauze bags,

what q PUBLIC slnrer Nesns

When girl or woman arrives at
the determination that she wishes To
make for herself a career as a public
singer, she must contemplate care
fully the considerations which influ-
ence her to such a decision. And of
all the considerations which appear.
the one which She should weigh the
most carefully is whether or not she
possesses voice capable of public
singing; for but few of the lovely
parlor voices one hears, no matter how
thoroughly they may have been
trained, possess this capahility.
First and foremost comes what is
known as the carrying quality'' that
placing or bringing out of the voice
with a resonance and sound, which
enables it to be heard at the extreme
end Of the concert hail, no matter
how softly the vocalist may be sing
ing. Some voices possess this quality
of carrying, naturally; but with a
good method it can, in other cases be
acquired.
An instructor who teaches a good
method of singing-by the proper
placing Of the voice-will impart the
knowledge Of its attainment in his
first lessons to his pupil. and, after
this the intelligence to appreciate its
presence or absence, and careful eff
forts to secure and retain it by study
and practice, will bring the desired
quality.
With it in possession, there need be
no concern as to the amount Of voice
one has; for a small voice with this
carrying power is better than large
quantity Of vocal strength without
it.
The tones of the voice, too, come
in for share of consideration. They
must be, either naturally or as the
result Of training, pure, sweet and
above all true. Constant study and
practice will bring these as the other
qualities. That subtle power, which
we in later days for lack of a more
descriptive title, have called ''per-
sonal magnetism, is of the most vital
Importance to her success in public
singing.
She must, by her personal charm,
as well as by her singing carry her
audience with her. They must feel
her in touch with them, just as she
must feel them responsive to her;
and, in the successful accomplishment
of this, she will find new inspiration.

CHAPTER ".

One night was awakened from my
slumbers by violent knocking at my
door. Who's there?" demanded, not
too amiably. What's the matter?"
"Openl Open, in the name of the
Grand Duchess!" commanded a deep
bass voice.

Then opened the door.
A magniticently uniformed young Of
f1cer stepped quickly into the room, fol-
lowed by three gendarmes with drawn
sabers.
The officer inclined his head slightly
toward me, and said, Herr Veinricht,
ich glaube?"
His was not the voice that I had
heard through the door; it was much
softer voice, and much more high in
pitch. Somehow it did not seem al
together the voice Of a stranger to me;
and yet the face of a stranger his face
emphatically was. 1t was a very ford
face, surmounted by growth Of short
red hair, and decorated by a bristling
red mustache. His eyes were overhung
by bushy red eyebrows, and, in the un-
certain candle light, I could not make
out their color.

suits.
OF course, upon the accession Of the
new ruler to the throne all the loyal

graphs and acknowledgement; you
paid your money and you took your
choice. These represented her as a
slight young woman, with a delicate,
interesting face, a somewhat sarcastic
mouth, great abundance of yellowish
hair, and, in striking contrast to this
chevelure, a pair Of brilliant dark eyes.
I could not for the life of me have ex-
planned it, but there was something in
her face that annoyed me with a sense
of familiarity, a sense Of having seen it
before, though I was sure never had.
In the course Of a fortnight, however, I
did see her-caught flying glimpse Of
her as she drove through the Markt-
strasse in her victoria. attended by all
manner of pOmp and circumstance. She
lay back upon her cushions, looking
pale and interesting, but sadly bored;
and again I experienced that exasper-
ating sensation of having seen her some
where-where? when? how?-before.

CHAPTER III.

That afternoon I again found myself
in the BischOfsplatz. At x one Is
constantly finding ones self in the
Bischofsplatz. Nearly all the streets OF
the little capital give upon it; and the
cathedral is there, and the Bishops pal
ace, and the Mormorhof, and the princi-
pal cafe; and it is there that the mill
tary band plays Of a pleasant evening.
At one Of the open-air tables OF the
cafe I was seated, when man passed
me, clad in the brown garb Of Fran
ciscan monk. He had a pointed black
beard, this monk. and a pair Of flashing
dark eyes, and, though he quickly drew
his head into his cowl at our conJunc-
ton, 1 had no difficulty whatever in
Identifying him with my queerly hirsuit
fiddler friend and prison mate, Sebastian
ROch.
Dear met he has become a monk. 1t
must have been a singularly swift con-
version, thought I, looking after him
with some wonder.
He marched straight across the
Bischofsplatz and into the courtyard of
the MormOrhof, where he was lost to my
view.
The beggarl He is one of Conrad's
spies, concluded. And searched my
memory to recall if had said anything
Of a nature that might compromise me
in the course Of our conversation.
few hours later sat down to my
dinner in the best parlor of the Hotel de
Rome. 1t is small hostelry, though
the biggest that x possesses, pat
ronized chiefly by commercial travellers
and special ENJOYS. Baedeker COM
mends it with an asterisk, which it de-
serves, being both cheap and good.
Mine host rejoices in the name Of Hide
brandt Strumpf, and on the occasion in
question no less q person than himself
was serving me. Scarcely, however,
had he lifted the cover from my tureen
of noodle soup, when. suddenly, and
without a breath of apology. he dropped
