The Powder Making Family.

a strange heritage was that bequeath-
ed to his children by Elcutherc Irenee
Du Pont de Nemours, when, driven from
France by the revolution, he came to
tho faraway state of Delaware, and
with skill i'll chemistry, acquired under
the great Lavoisicr, set TO work in 1902,
making gunpUwder for America and the
civilized world, if a world can be called
civilized that uses SO much of it. Vast
wealth he prepared for his descendants,
the family fortunes today uniting into
nearly 800, 100000. But along with the
riches he left dread responsibility that
presses down relentlessly upon every son
and grandson. "Thou shalt not rest
thou shalt not fear" is written on the
brow of every Du Pont child, and read
i'll the life of every Du Pont man. If
ever family was brave, it is the Du
Points; if ever family had need of
bravery, it is they.
The Du Points monopolize the gun
powder business of America, controlling
% of the 32 mills in this country They
do this by confiding to no one, not even
to the archives of the patent Office, their
secret methods of composition, their spe-
cially devised machinery, and all the
lore of gunpowdcr making that has come
to them through generations. This in
herited knowledge is the family treas
ure, and to guard it inyiolate the Du
Points must be their own mechanics,
chemists, superintendent and engineers,
must spend hours every day In the mills,
must live with the menace of sudden
and frightful death always about them.

Good6y 20 the Sergeant.

Dohcrty was drilling with his squad Of
recruits In London. Doherty was nearly q
feet inches in height, and at that time
the sergeant major was IA man whose
height was only feet inches. On this
day he approached the squad looking
sharply about him for some fault to find.
All the men squared up except Dohcrty,
and the sergeant major mt once accosted
him.
"Hcad up there, MANI called he. Doh
erty raised his head slightly
up higher, sir!'
The head was raised again. Then the
sergeant major managed, by standing on
his toes, to rcach Dohcrty's chin, and he
poked 1t higher, with the remark:
THAT'S better. Don't let mo see your
head down again
BY this time everybody was interested
Mt seeing Dohcrty staring away above the
sergeant mnjor's head, when n voice from
above said IN n rich broguc:
''Am to be always like this, sergeant
major?"
Eyes, sir"

STOP THE TREMoLo.
A Nuisance In Music Which Des&ruys
Good Singing.

"a Nuisance IN Music Which Destroys
Good Singing.
Can any one explain to me the secret
of the popularity of tho detestable mode
of singing which is now practiced so ex-
tensively in our city? need scarcely
add that refer to what is commonly
called the tremolo. 1t came into fashion
about 40 years ago and is it not time
that that fashion should die natural
death: Nine. La Grange was the first
who introduced it here. She was much
heralded, and therefore was believed to
be II fine singer-to the extent that she
drew fair audiences for u short time.
But people soon wearied of her peculiar
style and ceased going to hear her. She
was passec when she came to this coun-
try, and it was said that it was to cover
broken down voice that she had re-
course to the now hackneyed vibrata
However, many deluded singers, consid-
ering that her style must be one of the
good things which come to us from Eu-
rope, strove, but too successfully, to i'm
itate it.
When l was studying vocal music,
great care was taken to impress upon
my mind the extreme importance and
beauty of firm, pure and steady tone,
with its gradual crescendo and diminu-
endo. All, with what infinite pains I
tried to produce my notes without @
shadow of wayering or change of quail
ity And now TO think that the beauti-
ful sostenutO is considered of but small
account by so many people who, main
tain, ought to know better have seen
roOmful of people moved to tears by a
pathetic song rendered by we'll sus-
tanned voice, and with distinct enuncia-
ton of the words. Yet who would ever
dream of weeping over the most touch
ing ballad i'll the world when sung in
the miserable. shaky style now in vogue,
which leaves the listener in doubt is to
whether he is hearing sung @ sharp or
d, L sharp or G.?
Among the best of vocalists belonging
to our city and it's vicinity this trcmolo
is often adopted For some reason So
pranos and baritones use it most fire.
quently, and may add ad nauseam. 1t
is more than disagrecable on the stage
and i'll the parlor. 1t is beyond endur-
ance when it obtrudes itself in the
church service No place or occasion is
safe from its impertinent intrusion. I
have heard Il soprano of good standing
profane the lofty strains of II Know
That My Redeemer Liveth" by her
tremulous rendering, obnoxious as it
was inappropriate. Cor. New York
Tribune.

Address by Prof. A. q. Ottey, who said
that one thing he wanted to do and that
was 60 say something that not one In

day came on Monday. Christmas always
came on Monday OF II 1t came on Tues
day or Wednesday, Christmas comes on
Tuesday OF Wednesday,. or any day OF
the week May day comes on Friday next
year, and Christmas comes on Friday.
1t being leap year. 1t comes day or two
later. Also he said that Christians were
not tho first to decorate their houses with
evergteens. for that belonged to the an.
Client Druids. who decorated their homes
with evergreens and they used the mis-.
tletoe In honor OF their god 1anatus.
He also said that he had never seen
mlstletoe used In decorating q church,
and thls probably was the reason, because
1t was iirst used In Pagan worship. Also
be told how the word Christmas origi-
mated. He said that many people suppose
that tho X In tue Xmas represents the
cross, and wonder that IL is not written
Xmar. The Y. however. has nothing to
do with the cross. It Is the Greek letter
chi. corresponding to ch In our language.
and Is the initial lettet In the Greek name
OF Christ. The words Christ mass were
written Xmas long belote Chrlstnns be-
came one word.
His talk In the closing remarks, made
those present laugh quite heartily. as he
related tho Incident of killing q goose, by
