Nothing in This World

Is so cheap as a newspaper, whether 1t be
measured by the cost Of its production or by its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an American metropolitan, daily paper of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It's so
cheap and so good you can't afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. It. prints all the real news Of
the world-the nevs you care for-every day.
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do days
work too. 1t is an Independent paper and gives
all political neys free from the faint Of party
bias In word-its a complete, condensed,
clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or The
west-125. 900 to 10000 day.
Prof. j. T. Hatfield of the Northwestern
University says: 1.-THE CHICAGO RECORD

nal as we are for some time likely to find
on these mortal shores"

How Much Do pogs Know

This is rather difficult question to
answer. A dog about years old is no
doubt wiser far than a child double that
age. At 6 a dog is in his zenith, and
can be taught but little more, but by
this time, although he cannot speak, ex-
cept in "A kind of dumb language, ne
knows everything that is said about him
that is, if he has been the constant
companion of a kind master and mis-
tress We are too loath to admit that "a
dog can understand quite deal that is
spoken, especially if itconcerns himself.
| am sure that, ike myself, many Of
my readers could send me anecdotes in
proof Of this The following is sent me
by a lady. 1t is worth reading.
Ny husband had at one time very
fine collie. which seemed to understand
conversation perfectly. On one occasion
he told his housekaeper that he was GO
ing to ride next day to bis father 5 place,
80 miles away, and, turning to his dog,
said, You viii stay at home. Next
morning tho dog was not to be seen, and
when his master arrived at his destina-
tion the dog had got there first, and was
peacefully resting under table The
strangest thing was that the dog was
taken to my husbands home by rail,
and had never travelled on foot between
the two places. Edinburgh Scotch

close Of the eighteenth century are ia
miliar with the name Of Mrs Dilling-
ton. For some SO years, ait a time when
the art OF singing was perhaps at its
zenith, she reigned as one Of the bright
particular stars Of the musical world.
Sir Joshua imlnortalzad her as ST. Ce-
ella, aud IL the fulsama fashion of the
day it was said that instead of represent
ing Der as listening to the angels he
should have painted the angels as silent
before her. Michael Kelly, the pupil of
Mozart, said of her, I Thought her an
angel i'll beauty and the St Cecilia of
song, and Haydn naively recorded in
his diary, She Is a great genius, and
all the women hate her because she is
beautiful Her history is very curious,
and the brilliancy of her career as an
artist is in strange contrast to the scan
dals which surrounded her from her
very childhood.
The Georgian era was not period
remarkable for morality, ON or off the
stage, but making every allowance for
the exaggeration of newspaper gossip, it
is impossible to come TO the conclusion
that the life of Mrs. Ellington was re-
markable for its virtue, even if the
darker accusations which were freely
brought against her are untrue. 1t says
much for her personal charm that she
remained from first to last favorite
with the public, and her fascination as
a singer enabled her to triumph over
difficulties which, even in those days,
would have wrecked the career of less
popular artist.-National Review.

Aroma and bouquet In Wines.

Aroma and bouquet, SAID we'll
known WINE expert, are too often tax
en- to mean the same thing in wine
Flavor pertains especially 10 the linger-
ing aftertaste OF wine when swallowed.
Aroma and bouquet appeal only TO the
smell. and the former exists in the grape
itself. while bouquet only manifests
itself long after fermentation is com
pleted Bouquet Is never present except
in the purest wines. 1t seems to arise
from a union of several agreeable odors,
and any mixture would surely destroy
it. There are no truly fine wines with

of equal perfection the bouquet makes
the distinction that gives To the wine

/ London. March :. = The expected
| Venezuelan blue book, which is enti-
tied documents and Correspondence
Relating to the Question of the Bound
airy of Guiana and Venezuela" was
issued by the government Friday night.
The volume consists of 443 folio pages
with a separate book containing nine
maps. The book opens with 40 pages
comprising a preliminary statement
dealing with the history of the terri
tories from 1920 until the issuance of
her majesty's memorandum to Vene-
zuela in March, 1890. The statement
concludes as follows:
The above examination shows that
the main grounds upon which the ella im
Of Venezuela is supposed to be based,
20 far as it has been presented to Great
Britain at different times during the last
20 years, have been as follows:
First-The original discovery and the
first exploration of the South American
continent BY Spain. which are clearly ir-
relevant.
second-The bun of Pope Alexander VI,
which cannot be considered as having any
real bearing upon the question.
Third-The allegation that the occupa-
