Effect of Music on Animals.

At the zoo the zebra, wild ass, deer and ostrich went into paroxysms of rage at the sound of the piccolo, although they had manifested various signs of pleasure over the violin and flute. The tiger was asleep, and refused to be awak- ened by the fiddler and futist. But when the man with the piccolo began tc play the animal sprang furiously to its feet and rushed angrily up and down the cage, flashing its tail. So extreme was the beasts anguish that the piccolo man speedily gave place to the futist. The difference ill effect was at once apparent. The tiger stopped, listened, ley down and purred like kitten in its enjoyment of the grateful sounds, and presently fell asleep in luxurious repose. - London Spect ofor

RIGID ECONOMY AND HARD LABOR.


 How One Boston Merchant Became Rich
 and Ini!"rntial.
 "It would be well for the young men of today to take my recipe for becoming prosperous" said MT. John Shepard the other day as he sat before his little desk in an upper story of his great dry goods house on Winter street. Il began life at the very bottom rung of the ladder, but with a determination that would succeed if such thing were possible with the talent that possessed. Early in life came to the conclusion that economy was the first great essential in establishing fortune, and that labor was the second. I banished from my mind all other considerations when be- gan to work upon the road that l felt sure would lead to the goal of which I was in search.
 'I remember very distinctly going down Marshall street one day and hay ing my attention attracted by most tempting display in q confectioner's win dow. I had what is known as a very sweet tooth, and brought up standing before the sweet collection as if sud- denly arrested by some irresistible force. My hand immediately found its way to the pocket that carried my meager hoard ings, and before I really knew what l was doing had invested cents in but terscotch. When got back into the street, began to have full realization of what I had done, and it is safe to say that DO candy ever entered boys mouth that was so little relished as was my butterscotch. regretted that invest ment for years, and whenever the tempta- tion again came upon me while passing the store I put it away instantly.
 Keeping close to this line of strict economy, I found myself at last in po- sition to go into business. Then, how ever, commenced to feel that capital alone was powerless in the attainment of success, unless it was seconded by un- tiring labor. Here also l met all the necessary requirements, frequently de- voting 20 hours of the 24 to my business. Gradually found that was amassing fortune, and finally established the house which now bears my name. After had accomplished what l started out to do, there came over me an entire change. I had no aspirations to become abnor mally wealthy.
 "All that wanted was safe guaran- tee against possible disaster ill the flu ture. devoted a portion of my time to thc enjoyment of life, believing that l had earned my right to do so. No, sir; there is no use in filling boys head with all the new fangled ideas of getting rich, as they are not practical. Econo- my and labor arc the only elements that enter into the great plan of successful business life"-Boston Herald.

The Daily Dinner In Some Houses.

In no way has the spirit of the times brought more change than in the dinner hour and costume. The grandfathers of the present generation thought o'clock a late hour to dine, but now 7:30 is con sidered early. The master should also don his dress suit, although the Tuxedo coat in ones own house is allowable. The mistress dresses as though for ball, the only difference being in the ma terial. which is plainer, and the Aeeves, which are worn long. The same formal ity must be observed in serving the din ner as obtains when a number of guests are present. nt.--Vogue.
