A family at Long Branch. owns dog
with a musical fancy He is fox terrier
and still pup, but he has developed a love
for music that amounts almost to pas
sion. The family In addition to owning
this rare dog is blessed with an ls-year- old
daughter who sings. Whenever the daugh
ter seats herself at the piano, the dog
dances around with delight and prepares
to join in the singing Putting his nose
as high in the air as possible, he waits for
a high note, When the right pitch is
reached, he blends his voice with that Of
the singer, taking good care to stop when
she does. He will not sing when the notes
are not high, as his voice is light and he
seems to think it best adapted to carrying
high c, The dog will also raise his voice
in tune with harmonica if it is of the
right pitch. The girl, seeing his evident
musical talent, has begun to give him les
sous, and in another year. If he fulfilis her
hopes, he will be put into some show as

Interesting relics of the greatest of dram
atists were on sale at Christies. One was
described in the catalogue as Shakespeare
jug, of cream eolored earthenware, inches
high and 10 inches round in the largest
part, somewhat in the shape of modern
coffee pot. 1t was divided longitudinally
into eight compartments, each horizontally
subdivided, and within these the principal
deities of the heather mythology were rep.
resented in rather bold relief.
At the beginning of the present century a
silver top and edging were added, with a
small medallion of the original owner, in
scribed William Shakespeare at the age
Of 40" Accompanying the jug was Ma
