A Mark OF vulRarfty.

Vulgarity marks the man or woman
who is given to general backbiting and
unrefecting slander-to the glad propa-
cation of scandalous stories respecting
people of whom he or she can know moth
ing. It gives certain sense Of superb
ority to be able TO thus besmirch the
ermine of those who are set in high
places and whose moral influence de-
pends on their fair fame. If they are Of
such base material, what may not be
pardoned to the confess sdly coarser clay?
and are not the lesser fry in their own
small way superior to these grander fel-
lows? So think the vulgar minded re-
tailers of scandalous stories of the great
and prominent. Those, too, who belittle
their friends and acquaintance come
into the same category.-London Queen
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1893-06-01
Ferocious Wild DOGS.

The general belief of the wild dog
tribes of India is borne out by two stories
told by Colonel Baldwin of their attack
ing the bear and the tiger which put the
fact beyond doubt A bear was found
by an English officer standing at bay be-
fore the dogs. He had killed one, but
his hide and body were torn in strips by
the bites Of the pack. In the other the
fresh bones of tiger were found from
which the flesh had been eaten. One paw
still remained whole, and close by lay
the freshly killed bodies of three wild
dogs which had fallen in the fight.
Remembering not only the strength
and activity of the tiger but the aston
ishing pluck with which, even when
wounded, it will constantly charge a
line of elephants and endeavor to scale
the howdah-which is, in fact, fort
with an armed garrison-it is difficult to
overestimate the courage of the wild
dogs in meeting and destroying such an
antagonist We think it extremely pro-
bable that future observations of the
courage of the wild dog may justify a
statement once made, perhaps without
sufficient evidence, that they have an
inherent hostility to larger felin@, and
areincessantly on the watch to destroy
their whelps, SO that the species are the
instrument by which nature keeps down
the superabundant felinB Of the wilder
ness.-London Spectator

a sapy.s FOO, In a seasneI.

G. W. Tox of Redwood City, Cal, has
In his possession one of the most remark
aole curiosities ever found on the Pacific
coast-nothing more or lees than an aba
lone shell in the interior of which, firmly
incased in the pearly shell secretion,
there Is baby's shoe and stocking. The
shape Is perfect in every particular, but
the size indicates that the owner of t1ese
pedal coverings was a very young child.
The sole of the shoe and the toe, badly
worn and red from long continued water
soaking, can be plainly seen when the
secretion has not entirely enveloped it.
The stocking is not visible, however.
Threads of the wool can be drawn from
the pearly incasement by using crochet
hook or even a bent pin.
The buttons are covered with abalone,
looking like pendant pearls set in row
down the side of this odd shaped shell.
The little tassel can still be plainly seen,
as can also the hole where one of the but
tons has been pulled out. There is but
one tenable solution that can be given in
explanation of this seashell mystery.
The body Of drowned infant was being
carried along by the tide when the foot
passed into the open abalone shell, which
of course instantly closed like a vice.
Then the imprisoned foot was held until
severed from the body by decay. In the
meantime the shellfish was busily en-
gagged ineovering the shoe. stocking and
foot with its pearly secretions.-Phila-
delphia Press.

Miss Huntington,s First Opera Part,

Miss Agnes Huntington tells a very in
teresting story of her first appearance in
opera. "It happened in New Haven some
six years ago." said Miss Huntington.
The opera was 'Geralga,' and l sang
the role of the holy duchess. The first
words of my song were oh, holy vow.
The ladies Of the chorus and were sup
posed to be on visit to the shrine and
slowly wended our way down a steep
mountain side. Arrived at the shrine
the chorus knelt, and the closing lines of
their song was my entrance cue. stood
upon platform fully 10 feet high wait
ing until the song closed, and. you can
imagine l was frightfully nervous. While
was waiting here the comedian ad-
dressed me, informing me that the stage
manager of the theater had been killed
one year before at exactly the spot on
which was standing, the platform hay

''This was rather cheerful piece of
information to give to person who was
ready to drop from fright, but nerved
myself for the effort and sang my song

London.s Theater Cprtains.

One of the finest curtains in this coun-
try is at the Lyceum theater. On it all
that art can do has been lavished. Made
of rich, beautiful plush of dragons
blood hue, it hangs from the proscenium
arch in artistic folds. The curtain was
presented to M. Irving by the Baroness
Burdett Coutts, its cost being 1000
guineas. One thousand yards of plush
were used in its manufacture, and it
achieved the fame of once being parodied
in Gaiety buriesque.
Mr.. Wyndham's curtain at the Crite-
rion is creation of Maple & Co. and
cost about e120. At the Gaiety the pres
ent act drop is the work of Mr.. George
Banks. The artists conception takes
the form of great white satin cloth,
with solitary figure opening two cur
tains. The Savoy curtain is noted both
for its beauty and the artistic manner in
which it rises and reveals the stage The
act drop at the Adelphi. the home of
creepy" melodrama, is curtain which
has marked the resting places Of count
less pieces of the Transporting type. 1t

in the days of Robin Hood and his mer-
ry, merry men.-London Million.

ANTICIPATION.

One time we stood upon the waters edge
That flowed far out into its parent sea,
And there while summer blushed on field
and hedge
We vowed to love throughout eternity.
And thou, fond heart. hast kept that VOW
full well
Through every change that prntean fortune
brought,
But / am sunl1en IN the waves that swell
Der Scylla,s hidden rocks-and am forgot
What stern mischance hath snapped the
golden thread
That bound thy heart in unison with minei
Unless her soul be Niohe's instead
Whose tears may flow as feelingly as thine'
From whom may pardon come if not from
thee?
And yet dare not ask so great a boon.
Whose life is wrecked like thine? And who
is she
Hath warranty to sing so sad tune?
Yet cease those mournfuI sighs. as deep per-
chance
As ever Dido for Eneas heaved;
The future lies beyond; the recompense
OF time is most for her who most hath
grieved.
One hope l have that absence cannot take,
One longing that the world can never steal;
When life is done, in other spheres to wake,
And at thy feet worshiper to kneel
st George Best in Good Housekeeping.

It Was Scum or Nothing.

Since an unpleasant experience at a
hotel in little town up in Iowa short
time ago have made 1t rule to always
take soup. At this hotel l answered In
the negative when asked by the fair
waitress if / would "have soup" There
was no one else in the room at the time,
but pretty soon another gentleman came
in and sat down. He was asked the
usual question, and he responded In the
affirmative and got his soup. The girl
then left the dining room and did not
return. thought it strange she did not
take my order for dinner, but my wait
was all in vain, and after I had been
waiting for 20 minutes or half an hour
she stuck her head out through two cup
board doors opening from the kitchen
and cried out, Dinner is over" went
without my dinner while the other man
got his soup. From what learned of
this hotel afterward this was the regu-
lar menu for each day at dinner, and
further learned that the proprietor was
a vegetarian.-Cor. st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

GRAINS or GOLD.

Thinking right will keep us from do
ing wrong.
The best time to give is when it is
most needed.
Conceit may puff man up. but nev-
er prop him up.
1t is wisdom to think, and folly to sit
without thinking.
1t is good rule to be deaf when a
slanderer begins to talk.
1t doesn't make lie any whittier to
put it it on tombstone.
A religion that consists only in ideas
does not make anybody better.
The strongest man in the world is the
one who can best control himself.
A great many people are right in their
hearts and wrong in their heads.
Courage is that quality of mind which
makes us forget how afraid we are.
Everywhere endeayor to be useful,
and everywhere you will be at home.
Too many bright young meu try to
make their conversation spicy with cloves.
If some men were as big as they feel
there wouldn't be standing room in this
country.
Every person on earth must have some
sort of a pet, even if it is nothing better
than himself.
Life is battle From its earliest dawn
to its latest breath we are struggling
with something.
The union of energy and wisdom
makes the competent character and the
most powerful life.
Whatever you win in life you must
conquer by your own efforts, and then it
is yours, part of yourself.
The talent of success is nothing more
than doing what you can do well, and
Dc ing well whatever you can.
There may be apparent prosperity to
the wicked, but no real peace ever comes
to the soul that hates the law of God.

Suggestions For Mary Anderson.

Mrs. Mary Anderson-Navarro, some
times known as ''Our Mary" is writing
book of "reminiscences. IF she goes
back far enough and sticks to facts, they
will be highly interesting. She should
tell how DIR. Hamilton Griffin went on
change in st. Louis and scattered tickets
broadcast that the house might be filled.
And she should publish the first opinions
Of the New York critics. Such things
do not in the least reflect on her ultimate
triumph, but merely show her early
pluck and confidence in her own ability.
Let us have the "reminiscences from the
beginning.-New York World
