Had Found the Animals.

In 1864 a regiment of Confederates
from South Carolina were marching
north to join Lee While in North Car
olina they camped one day on two OPP
posite hills, between which road ran.
1t happened that an old Methodist
preacher. a strong Unionist, lived in
that vicinity. Early the next morning
the preacher mounted his mule AMI
trotted down the road, meaning to pass
through the camp to show his con-
tempt for the rebels He was a very
old man, with a stern face and long.
white beard. which, taken with his
white hair, gave him an appearance,
decidedly patriarchal.
"Hullo. fellows, here comes Father
Abraham" called one soldier to y
comrade on the opposite hill, as the
old man rode between them.
mo, he isn't shouted back the oth>
er; hes Father Jacob"
The old parson stopped and shook
the finger Of scorn at the laughing SOL
diers. Il am neither Father Abraham
nor Father Jaoob!" he cried. A knot
of soldiers gathered about him.
"Well, who are you, then?" persisted
his tormentor Its no use for you to
deny you are out of the Old Testament
somewhere"
The old man rose in his stirrups and
waved his hand in comprehensive con-
tempt.
Eyes, 1 am out of the Old Testament,
sure enough" he roared. I'm Saul,
the son of Kish, looking for his fathers
asses, and I've found them."-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

Cheap water in Glasgow.

In Glasgow a Els householder obtains
for lid. per annum a continuous, never
failing, unrestricted steam of the purest
water in the world delivered right into
his kitchen, washhouse and bath room.
1t is calculated that $50 gallons of pure
water are delivered to the citizens of
Glasgow for every penny paid. And
it is water of such peculiar softness
that the householders of Glasgow can
pay their water rate out of what they
save ON soap.
Loch Katrine water is mot only soft
it is remarkably bright, clear and free
from vegetable matter, because Of the
bare and precipitous character Of the
hills which drain into the loch. 1t is
uniform in color, temperature and
quality, is absolutely free from pollu-
ton, and must remain so because the
corporation have now bought up the
building rights Of the whole drainage
era; it needs no alteration and is prac-
tically unaffected by the change of sea-
sons.-Benjamin Taylor in the En-
gineering Magazine.

Italy, though few and far between, di-
rect descendants of those choice and
rare artists who were the pride and
glory of the renaissance. If any such
artists. marching on with the changed
intellectual spirit of the time. were still
among us, they would inevitably have
become that which Trentacoste is to-
day-the Franco-Italian sculptor who
until three brief years ago. was almost
entirely unknown to his countrymen. as
he had worked, exhibited and scld his
productions in Paris and in London.
Since the success of his ALA Fonte'
at the international exhibition in Ven
ice in 1895, he has returned to live
among his compatriots, aud has settled
down in a quiet corner of a group OF
studios that lies in the northern out
skirts of Florence, known as the Via
degli Aristi. 1t is not easy to penetrate
into the atelier of Domenico Trenta-
coste, for the man is shy and mis-
anthrope
Domenico Trentacoste was born in
Palermo in 1859 He had no master in
art, nor did he in his earlier years try
his prentice hand at copying antique
statues. Driven by an inward irresjst-
ible vocation, he only worked from the
living model. In 1888 he settled in
Paris, after having visited the principal
cities of Italy to study the chef
d'oeuvres of the renaissance, whose art
manifestations, so akin to his own in
nate talent, he so passionately admires.
In Paris his exquisite modelling, his
deiicacy of treatment, and truthfulness,
won instant favor among tho French,
SO quick to recognize artistic aptitude.
From Paris Trentacoste frequently vis-
tied London and formed close friend
ships with many English painters, es-
uecially with Calderon and Edwin Long,
of whom he modelled excellent busts, at
once lifelike and artistic. The chief of
his work are in Paris, and mostly in
the possession of private persons who
would not permit their exhibition either
before or after purchase.
As usual, the competition Cor the
Grand Prix de Rome drew many visi-
tors to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts dur
ing the third week in July. In paint
ing, the subject assigned was taken
from Mussets "Rolla": "Herculte. ia
tigue de sa tache eternelle, S'assit un
jour, dit-on, entire un double chemin.
II Wit la Volupte qui lui tendit la main:
III suivit la Vertu qui lui sembla plus
belle" The paintings of the ten COM
petitors showed little originality of
conception and composition, out re-
markable skill in drawing and the use
of colors. Only one of the young men,
Emmanuel Bennel, had ventured TO
represent the two female figures fully
draped, and at the same time to lend
to Virtue face which makes the de-
cision of the demigod at all plausible;
TO nine out of ten of these young
Frenchmen Virtue appears stern and
forbidding. Aside from the coloring of
the backgrounds, otherwise more or
less conventional, the canvases might
all belong to the era of the First En-
pire, so strongly does the classical tra-
ditions survive in the school

which had q contract with Strauss. the
operetta was put away for the time
Gallmeyer never I. returned, and as
Strauss never found another singer to
whom he cared to intrust the role, the
operetta is still unperformed. 1t is
not likely to be of special merit. as
Strauss, after writing dance music for
twenty-five years, needed some expert
ence before he could be at his best on
the stage.
1t is indeed hard to account for the
strange misconceptions which prevail
as to what really constitutes genuine
African music. The "coon songs .
which are SO generally sung are base
limitations. The white man does not

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 5.-Thomas Gahan.
Democratic national Committeeman for
Illinois, in speaking of the result of the
mayoraity election, said to-day:
II gather from the returns that Car
ter H. Harrison is the choice OF the peo-
pie because OF his gallant fight against
corporation influence. The fight has
been entirely municipal, but apart from
this see. as member of the national
Democratic committee, the end OF John
P. Altgeld's influence In national poll
ties. The governor really made his
fight to retain his hold on state and
consequently on national politics. His
vote was SO small that he has been
wiped out of the party and he Will not
be,a featherweight after this. He may
illuminate, but none will listen to him.
When the Vote for him as governor In
1896 is compared with the vote OF to-
day. 1t can easily be seen that Mr.. Alt
geld's influence is thing OF the past.
He Is dead and he will never be resus-
c!tated, The Democrats are through
with him."
The friends Of Mayor Harrison to-day
were busy expressing their delight at
the vista OF political activity before him
stretching away into state and national
affairs. His nomination FOR governor Is
already talked Of by his friends, and
the probability that he will head the
Chicago and Illinois Democrats In the
next Democratic national conventions
eagerly discussed.

If those of our readers who reside in
the most highly favored sections Of this
country, where the climate Is healthy

will see greater or less number of their
friends and neighbors dying of con-
sumption, while many others have
already been carried off by that dread
malady.
These deaths have occurred from time
to time amid tho refreshing prairie
breezes of summer; in the fair and mel
low days Of autumn, and also In the dry
and sunny seasons Of southern winter.
Such deaths amid such favorable sur
roundings afford positive and convinc-
ing proof that climate alone will not
cure consumption: that neither pine

will restore weak lungs or build up q

and broken down by the insidious germs
of fatal disease.
But, on the other hand, many thou.
