(Erom the New York Press !


Farmer Wainwright, of Brookdale, has
female Spaniel called Poodle, Vain
wright is something of a musician. By
striking the animal whenever music was
playing and a false note was struck. she
set up a howl. Soon the threat of the
upraised stick was equally effective.
Presently a mere glance of the master 8
eye produced the same howl and at last
the false note itself.
The little critic is taken to all the con-
certs in the neighborhood. The soloist,
the pianist, violinist or cornetist all of
them, must execute their parts in perfect
harmony, otherwise Poodle looks at her
master, erects her ears, shows her teeth
and howls outright. Old or new pieces,
known or unknown to the dog, produce
the same effect. Sometimes, to tease the
animal, Mr.. Wainwright and friends an
noy her by making all sorts of discordant
sounds from instrument and voice. The
animal loses all self-control. Her eyes
shoot forth fiery flashes and long and
frightful howls respond to the inharmo-
nious concert of the tormentors. When
the animals patience is too much tried
she becomes savage and tries to bite her
prosecutors and their instruments.
John Terwilliger, of Hancock, has cat
which for month has kept the family
supplied with harvest apples. 1t makes
daily trips to the neighbors' trees, return
ing with an apple in its mouth, which it
carefully deposits on the porch In the
last week IT has brought home, by actual
count, forty apples. Mr. Terwilliger will
place several barrels near the porch and
teach the cat to drop the apples in them,
so that when the time comes to gather
winter fruit all he will have to do is to
place the barrels in position. and the cat
will do the rest.

ABOUT STAMPS.
One Collection Said to be Worth
Half a Million Dollars
(From the London Chronicle)

(From the London ChronicleD
Mr.. Buhl the well-knoWn dealer has
been good enough 10 give me few lead
ing facts with reference to stamps and
their collection. Most of us have been
collectors at one time or another-gener-
ally in our school days-but II is surpris-
ing to learn that there are about 1900, 600
of serious collectors in existence, and at
least 1000 dealers, with agents every
where. The trade, in fact is a very large
one and as stamps, as a hobby, are GER
tainly a luxury. the chancellor OF the eX-
chequer might do worse than give the
question OF small tax, say per cent on
the sales his earnest attention
The most valuable stamp in existence is
the first issue of Post Office" Mauritius:
the Id. and Cd. were recently sold for
Gl,920, and single specimen on an old
envelope was sold last month for GI 600
The error here is Post Office instead of
Post Paid" They were OF local manu-
facture and only used few days In 1873
There are only nineteen of these stamps
known 10 be in existence, nine penny and
ten two penny ones, two of the latter hav-
ing recently been discovered in India Other
rare stamps are Hawaii (Sandwich ISL
ands) cent blue, (first issue) worth G7OO
TO $500, and British Guiana (first issue 2
price. These, as may be imagined do not
often come into the market The number
Of varieties In existence Is about 5000. or
double that number if you take used and
unused stamps. AS the higher grade of
collectors do. add fancy varieties OF per-
forations and watermarks, which often
make a very great difference from the
philatelic point of view, and a perfect
collection would number so co.,
Probably the best collection now in ex-
istence is that of NJ. Philip Luvenotiere
who has spent more than sl00, 600 upon 1t
In this country Mr.. w. B. Avery, a mer-
chant prince who began collecting only
eight or nine years ago, holds the palm
his albums containing at least G5OOO]
worth of stamps. and this. l am told
without being a "bloater," which is a
slang term In the philatefc world for one
who overloads his collection with vaIu-
able duplicates.
The first stamp issued was the Id black
Great Britain, the event taking place on
May /, 1910. This was followed by Brazil
(of all places in the world in IS4l; and
two years later by Zurich, and by Mau-
ritius in 1Si7. The latest stamp is the
Cape of Good Hope I'D. green. with the
figure of Britannia upon it, which was
issued on the first of the month Cata-
logues are now published in every Euro
pean language, and there are over 200
magazines, the leading one being The
Philatelic Record, now twenty years old
just as the leading society is the Phila-
telic Society of London, of which the
Duke of York. himself keen collector
is president.

Goose-Bone Predictions.

Predictions concerning the coming Win
ter are being freely made. A Canadian
weather prophet, who has carefully ex-
amined the goose bone, predicts a very
white Winter from November until
March, and that weather will be inter-
spersed with hail and sIeet storms. This
is good deal for goose bone to know.
Perhaps there may be hard Winter;

to withstand the sudden change by
drinking plenty of Heurich's beer. 1t is
an aid to digestion and a stimulant both
mentally and physically. Those who feel
the need of a tonic will find it invaluable,
for it is the best of all nerve and muscle
foods, and gives great endurance to
those who drink it in moderation. Can

A NEW SYSTEM.
What the Third Rail Is Expected to
AccompIish

(From the New York Commercial Advertiser)
The third-rail system of electric transit
has passed the experimental stage. OF
course, the system is not fully developed
yet. IL has not reached the stage where
IL can be employed on lines of consid-
cradle length over which heavy traffic
passes. II was some time after the cleo
trio light was first used to light streets
that 1t was introduced into buildings cars
and the like The feasibility of electricity
for lighting purposes had been establish
ed, however, and improvements swiftly
followed. In like manner the feasibility
Of the third-rail system for short lines
with light traffic has been established
This is demonstrated by its successful
use on the Hartford and New Britain
and the Boston and Nantasket lines on
the Brooklyn bridge and, TO some ex-
tent, on the Brooklyn elevated roads
Further tests are about to be made at
Manhattan Beach and by the Long ISL
and Railway Company. II will not be
long. according to present indications,
before American ingenuity will have dis
covered a way to make the system prac-
ticable for long distances and heavy
traffic. When this has been accomplish
ed transportation facilities will have made
a great stride.
For elevated lines the third-rail sys-
TEN, even in its present stage of de-
velopment, would seem almost ideal 1t

KNOWING ANIMALS.
Two Dogs With Musical Sense and

fFrom the Cincinnatf Ennuirerl


An amusing incident occurred the other
night at a commencement of a musical
college The hall was crowded almost to
suffocation with the friends and admirers
of the graduates and those who were -

program had already progressed pretty
well, and the attention OF the audience
was on the qui vive. Now came TO the
front a singer-a beautiful young girl, OF
solid build, still dressed in short clothes.
and with the innocent look of childhood
on her face. She walked demurely to the
piano. where her teacher had seated her
self TO play the accompaniment. The
song was a classic one-"Mignon," by
Liszt-and the little. sturdy singer put ali
her soul into it. And the stout professor
with Homeric forehead seemed well
pleased, for the girl was the best product
OF his class, and he had reason to pride
himself upon her. She was just in the
most poetric delineation of "Mignon''
when few canine notes, right from the
front part of the audience, disturbed the
harmony of the classic song and the Sc
renity of the fair singer. The high-brow-
ed professor looked a little angry, but he
went on with the accompaniment. He
had not proceeded far when a few moro
canine CALCULATIONS were heard. Now
everybody in the audience caught on.
Laughter was depicted on every face,
and some of the ladies' present snickeretl.
But the professor and singer went brave
ly on Now came another interruption
from the pet dog in the audience, and the
professor looked somewhat angry. What
was the agreeable surprise of performers
and audience, when, on the closing notes
of the song the pet dog chimed in again,
and hitting the identical chord, brought
the performance to a harmonius close.
