How He Cured the Bell.

The late Father Boyle, who for years
was one of the most prominent and
popular Catholic priests in Washing
ton, had great reputation as a wit
Some of his most intimate friends were
Protestants and members of the Prot
estant clergy. A few months before
his death he erected missionary chap
el down by the navy yard and bought
at junkshop an old bell which had
been discarded by one of the Protes-
tant churches. He sent the bell to a
foundry in Georgetown and had sew
eral inches of metal pared off the rim.
Having thus got rid of a crack, the
harsh and discordant tones of the bell
became soft and sweet. Meeting a
Presbyterian minister not long after,
Father Boyle called his attention to the
change, and the latter could scarcely
believe it was the same bell.
what in the world did you do to
that bell" inquired the Presbyterian
pastor, ito cause such a change in the
tonew
eve blessed it and blessed it and
blessed it until we got the Presbyterian
devil out of it" retorted Father Boyle,
'and then it sounded all right

Peculiarities of Caracas.

1.-The morning after our arrival at the
hotel in Caracas" says w. E. Curtis, II
called for glass of milk while dress
ing. On every subsequent morning
during our stay a glass of milk was
brought to me at precisely the same
hour without instructions, and al
though the servant was told several
times that it was not wanted she did
not appear to understand and contin-
ued to bring it just the same.
SIN the hotel were electric bells. The
first day 1 rang for something, and a
certain boy answered the summons.
The next morning 1 rang again and
again, and no one responded. Finally
1 went into the dining room and found
there half dozen servants.
Didn't you hear my bell ring?' I
asked.
"'Si, senor' Eyes, sir, was the reply.
"'Then why didn't you answer it?'
"@The boy that answers your excel
lency's bell has gone to market with
the manager
" But you knew he was not here, and
you should have come in his place.
mo, senior. 1t is his occupation to
answer your bell. l answer the bell of
the gentleman in the next ROOM
"And as long as 1 remained in that
hotel my bell was answered only by the
one particular boy. If he was not in, 1
could ring for an hour without receiv-
ing response, although the house was
full of idle servants

AIvary riniahed the Kiss.

GA beautiful scene," said an old thea-
ter goer, may be utterly ruined by
some trit1ing mistake, and an error of
seemingly infinitesimal dimensions
throw out an entire company Often
times, however. the ready wit and pres
ence of mind of an actor or actress may
save the day and turn what might 9TH
erwise have been disaster into triumph.
One of the most difficult of all scenes to
carry off successfully occurs in the OPP
era of 'Siegfried.' You will remember
that Siegfried awakens Brunnhilde
from her long sleep with kiss. Wag-
ner has so arranged it that the kiss
seems as long to the audience as the
immortal slumber itself. In reality it
lasts about 20 seconds, but it seems IN
ending. 1t is most trying situation
for the singers. for the audience is ex-
tremely likely to grow restless.
"Some years ago at performance of
'Siegfried' in st. Louis Alvary-poOr
chap!-was singing Siegfried to Nine.
SUCKERS Brunnhilde. He had got about
/ half way through his lengthy oscula-
ton when the gallery began success
sion of smacks, constantly increasing
In volume. 1t was a critical moment;
but, as the event proved, one that was
to add to Alyery's already large wreath
of laurels.
Slowly he raised his magnificently
handsome head and turned toward the
audience and silently looked the CALLER
les into silence. In ten seconds he had
completely mastered them, and you
could have heard a pin drop in the
great house. Then he dropped his face
on that of Brunnhilde, and that kiss
went on to its appointed and Sapholike
finish without further interruption
| from the audience. 1t was as fine an
exhibition of the control a great per-
sonality can exercise over an audience
as l have ever witnessed" New York
| Tribune.

Miss Caustic Caught.

The wit is more to be dreaded than
your worst enemy. Witty people have
a way of slapping a title on you which
sticks for life. These things bubble up
on their lips, and woe to the victim. He
or she is ruined and made a public
laughing stock. Even your best friend
will giggle on the sly. One society girl
here, a really nice girl has the habit,
however, Of sitting in judgment on the
family standing of other people. She
will make some disparaging remark
and conclude with, ooh, well, you know
and 1 know they are really not to the
manner born"
Now this girl does not come of aristo-
cratic blood on her maternal side. Her
ancestors were simple, honest trades
men who never pretended to style or
had any ambition to pose as aristo-
Gratis. They were in the shoe business.
One day the girl was talking much as
usual. The wit, alas, was on deck load
ed with back number facts. "Oh," said
Miss Critic, with a toss of her head, as
she mentioned a debutante, 'of course
she is not TO the manner born. always
like to express myself in quotations."

wickedly. 'My favorite is let not the

What n singer Must knor,

For singer to succeed it is necessa-
ry that he should have more than q
voice or be vocalist. Wagner has set
a higher standard, and to him we owe
it. Not only the cultivation Of the
voice, but the higher education is nee
essary. The voice alone Is not SUM-
cient, even in the concert room. Sing.
ing has grown to be quite another art.
The singer must be an impersohator.
l myself studied for five years at the
university. But that, as a rule, holds
one too long. But. at least good gen.
eral knowledge of literature and of SCI
ence is necessary.
The day Is past when fiacre driver.
because he has beautiful voice, Is ac-
cepted as singer; so also Is the day
when concert in costume is regarded
as an opera. The standard of imper-
sonation has been UNNECESSARILY raised
by Wagner. History, literature. knowl-
edge of the plastic arts, are all neces-
sary to the singer.
American women have, many Of
them, beautiful voices. Again, many
of them go abroad to study. That is q
mistake. 1t Is at home that they should
lay the foundation. Build by degrees.
Do not aim to be star, but good art1
list. Study always. be content with
small roles. The rest will come of It
self.-Ernest Van Dyck in Saturday
Evening Post.

A Careful Mother.

This is story one woman is never
tired of telling of mother whose child
had been i'll with scarlet fever. She
always emphasizes the fact, too, that
the mother was possessed, upon ordi-
nary occasions, with good sense and
would be called more than ordinarily
intelligent woman. She was, too, a
more than ordinarily careful mother,
and it was as an illustration of this
that she told the story of the care of
her boy to the friend who now repeats
it. Not as much was known about
sanitary conditions then as now, but
it was not in time of primitive igno-
rance.
81 always believe in taking the great
est care to prevent contagion in any
disease" said the mother, land with
the fever / was extraordinarily care
full. Why, when the skin began to
peel l rubbed the child down with my
hands every day to remove every loose
fragment, let it fall into a cloth, and
then | gathered it up carefully and
shook it out the window"
The listener to that story laughed
then and there, to the great surprise
and indignation of the mother, and
laughs now at the ridiculous ignorance
of woman who claimed to have even
vestige of common sense.-New York
Times.

A well known rector of an east end
church was approached one day by a
lady who said she desired to rent a
seat in a row nearest the door of his
church. The rector responded that the
seats in that row were all free and that
she was at liberty to occupy any one of
them, but she persisted, saying that
she desired to have it for her own.
Being somewhat curious as to her
reasons, the clerical gentleman said,
"But, madam, tell me why you wish to
sit so far back"
After some hesitancy she responded
that she simply couldn't bear to have
any one 'sit behind her."
'Yet you will be sitting behind 9TH
ers. who perhaps feel the same way"
said the rector laughingly.
'"That may be-" replied the devout
lady earnestly, "but you know l have
such wretched little wisp of hair at
the back of my head that it would GER
tainly interfere with my devotions If
l knew any one was looking at it,

Kind Heartedness.

The Bingham shirted boy had made a
break to pass the ticket seller at the
circus entrance, but that gentleman
had caught him and rudely thrust him
back.
Poor little devil!'' said seedy look
ing man in the crowd. eff l had the

The crowd looked sympathetic, but
said nothing, while the boy sobbed as
if his heart would dissolve.

went on the seedy looking one, land that
won't do you no good. Say" he con-
tinued, turning suddenly to the crowd,
Tets do one good act in our lives. Let's

It looked for a minute as If a collec-
ton was to be started, but a benevo-
lent looking old gentleman nipped it in
the bud by slipping half dollar into
the hand Of the boy, who promptly dis
appeared into the tent.
81 thank you a thousand times for
that kind act, SIR" said the seedy look
ing man.

The Place Was Filled.

At seance the other day, when the
lights had been turned low, the me-
dunn was describing a tall, dark eyed,
handsome spirit, with long moustaches
and his hair parted carefully down the
center, that was lowering round a mid
die aged but elderly looking man, when
he burst suddenly into tears. Heart
rending sobs shook his thin frame.
George, George" he cried. "Why,
oh, why did you leave me to the mis-
cry of these past years.?
'Then you knew him?" asked the
medium.
"Knew him?" murmured the down
hearted man. 81 saw him daily for
months and months. Oh, George" he
continued, 'why did you die?"
'My good man." pleaded the medium,
you must pull yourself together.
Though his loss to you must have
been a great one, you may yet meet
another friend who will fill his place"
"No, nor he cried. "His place is
filed"
"Filled! Why, what do you mean?"
asked the medium, astonished.

Edison and Platinum.

A story will serve to throw light up
on EdisOn's character. At one time
there was a great fear in the scientific
world that the deposits of platinum
were about to become extinct. Edison
thereupon organized a correspondence
bureau and sent letters to every Amer
lean consul upon the globe, to British
consuls in ports where the United
States had no representative and to
scientific men in every land. The let
ter gave q clear statement respecting
the metal, how and where it was found
and might be found, how it could be
identified and treated and much other
information.
In each letter were Enclosed samples
of platinum as found in the various
rock beds. This may seem to be
small undertaking, but when it is re-
membered that the letters were sent
off by the thousands, that the postage
was 10 cents to each letter and that
the pieces of platinum inclosed were
almost as valuable as metallic gold, the
cost of the achievement is readily seen.
While he did not succeed in greatly in
creasing the output Of platinum, he set
at rest all fear of its extinction and
thus earned the gratitude of every
scientific nvestigator.-Frank Leslie's
Magazine.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The SUM-"

All Doctors have tried to cure
Catarrh by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste form.
Their powders dry up the mucuous
membranes causing them to crack open
and bleed. The powerful acids used in
the inhalers have entirely eaten away
the same membranes that their makers
have aimed to cure, while pastes and
oiutments cannot reach the disease.
An old and experienced practitioner
who has for many years made close
study and speciality of the treatment OF
Catarrh, has at last perfected treat
ment which, when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently
cures Catarrh, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing all
Inflammation. 1t is the only remedy
known to science that actually reaches
the afflicted parts. This wonderful
remedy is known as ''Snuffles the
Guaranteed Catarrh Cure, 2" and is sold
at the extremely low price of one dol
lar, each package containing internal
and external medicine sufficient for a
lulI HOuGH ) If6dGLu0HG anu every GulDS
necessary to its perfect use.
''Snuffles" is the only perfect
Catarrh cure ever made and is now
recognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. 1t cures all Inflammation
quickly and permanently and is also
wonderfully quick to relieve hay fever
or cold in the head.
Catarrh, when neglected, often leads
