"Not one" replied Henry, "but I'll

THE FAMILY UMBRELLA.

Sir Walter Besant Describes the Real Old
Fashioned Kind.
The real old family umbrella has
gone out.
Gall that slim, stuck up, affected,
attenuated thing family umbrella?
writes Sir Walter Besant. Go away. I
remember the genuine family umbrella.
1t was kept in readiness behind every
front door. 1t was large, portly, heavy
instrument. AS an emblem Of respecta-
bility it was highly esteemed in middle
class society. 1t was serviceable as a
tent In rainy weather. 1t could be used
as a weapon Of offense and defense on
occasion.
l have seen picture Of an elderly
gentleman keeping off a footpad by
means of this lethal um brella. He made
as if he would spear or prod the viii
lain. Why, one prod would alone make
hole of six inches diameter in that
murderous carcass. The nurse used to
carry it, with difficulty managing the
baby and umbrella. 1t went out to tea
with the young ladies. The maid who
fetched" them home took the umbrella
with her. 1t succeeded the lantern and
the club formerly carried by the prem
tice when he escorted his mistress to the
card party after dark. 1 remember it,
say.
There were three brothers who came
to the same school where / was but a
tiny little boy. They lived at some dis
lance, and had to pass on their way to
school through stratum of inferior re-
spectability. Every morning brought to
these three brothers the delight and the
excitement of battle with the boys be-
longing to that inferior responsibility.
To the eldest brother, who carried the
really important weapon, the umbrella
was exactly what his battleax was to
the Lion Heart So he raised it; so he
welded it; so he swung it; so he laid
his enemies low to right and to left Of
him, before and behind him, while the
other two, relying on the books tightly
strapped, brought them to bear, with
shrewd knocks and thwacks and pound
ings, on heads and shoulders and ribs.
Twas a famous family UMBRELLA

Mime. Melba on the Exactions and he.
wards of a Musical Career.
Nine. Melba addresses students of
music in an instructive, practical paper
in The Ladies' Home Journal. She tells
in her article on 1.-THE Vocal Student"
of the necessity of securing a thorough
ly competent teacher, Of practice, and
the care of the health; emphasizes the
Importance of being trained musicians
as well as vocalists, talks of the none
tary value Of a musical training and Of
European study. With regard to the
monetary rewards Of capable singer
Nine. Melba says: "To a girl properly
trained and qualified the profession of a
vocal teacher is one of the most re-
munerative. Good teachers are scarce
and in great demand, and as the fees
are large an excellent income may be
obtained. Next comes the career Of the
church singer. Every church has its
choir, and in the majority of cases the
soloists composing it are paid, and often
we'll paid. Engagements as drawing
room singer can be secured in large
cities when one has talent and faculty,
and when the voice is not sufficiently
large for its possessor to become con-
cert singer.
1.-THE fees of the successful concert
singer are large; she is constantly in
demand; her repertory is Of songs, not
of entire roles. and is more easily ao-
quired; her expenses are limited to the
cost of few evening gowns, in the
place of scores of costumes. For the
opera singer there is plenty Of hard
work, but for that there is the compen-
sation of being associated in many cases
with the famous artists Of the world,
whom to know is liberal education"

How Icelanders Take Snuff.

A popularity concerning the use Of
snuff i'll Iceland may be of interest. The
snuff is made into bars after the manner
of plug tobacco, and is sold in that shape
to the natives, nearly all of whom are
addicted to its use and prefer it thus
prepared. The Icelander allows the nail
on the right hand thumb to grow long
for the purpose, and when using the
snuff scratches it off the bar with this
nail Oh the back of the left hand and
applies it to tie nose.

SAN DIEGO

SAN DIEGO, Sept 25.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) San Diego promises to
play an important part in the develop
ment OF the Yukon gold fields, and in
addition to the organiza ton of a sub
stantial prospecting company, comes
the organization of transportation
company to carry freight and passen-
gers across the snow and ice from 81.
Michaels to Dawson City during the
winter months. This company will use
a snow ard ice train. which Will be oper-
ated under a patent recently applied for
by Charles Sheffgen. The plans Of the
motor are now made. The motive power
Is gasoline engine.
The wheels are propelled by sprocket
and chain. The cab and cars are car
ried by short sleighs at each end Of the
car, like fiat cars on railroads. These
sleighs are so constructed as to run on
top of the snow as well as the ice.
A train Of cab and two cars would
have a capacity Of ten to twelve tons Of
freight and the cost Of construction
complete would, not exceed $4,000. The
company has been organized and has
already applied to the United States
government for contract to carry
mails up the Yukon river.

Diego was decided by Judge Hughes in
the superior court today. The proceed
ings were instituted by Attorney Gen
eral Fitzgerald for the people of the
state against the city of San Diego, the
trustees of the San Diego college Of let
ters and all other parties interested in
title to the property known as the cam
pus. on University Heights, the site Sc
lected for the new normal school. The
court heard the arguments and decided
to grant the petition, signing decree
which finally quiets all adverse claims
to the property.
Captain" A. w. Hall, who. is we'll
known. throughout Southern California
and San Bernardino and Riverside In
particular, has earned for himself ad'-
ditional notoriety Some two years ago
he came here from San Bernardino and
chartered boat for a southern cruise.
Two months later man was found, at
Cedros island by one Of the guaro
schooners, which brought him to this
city. The man was generally recognized
az Hall, but he denied his identity.
Later a claim was made by Halls wife
for $4,000 insurance, but the claim was
soon abandoned and Hall disappeared.
He next came to light in San Francisco.
where he organized the Rosalia Bay
Mining company, with capital stock IF
$100, 900, of which he received one-third.
Early in August he severed his connec-
tion with the company and Immediately
after organized another company to
develop the same property. The schoon-
er Grace was chartered ard fitted out
with big stock of provisions and min
Ing tools for Lower California, and
reached Ensenada a few days ago. Hall
now admits that he gave fictitious To-
cation OF his mine on the peninsula.
