What would the matinee idols and
popular comedians of today think Of such
compensation for their labors?
John Hodgkinson, who was one Of the
first lessees of the Park theater, which
was opened on Jan. 20, 1898, had been
a member of the John Street theater
stock company. He was born in Man
chester, England, in 1867. Hodgkinson
appeared with success in England before
he came to this country. Low comedy
was his forte, but he was a remarkably
versatile actor and great favorite. Ire
land says:
"He played tragedy. genteel and light
comedy. opera and pantomine with al
most equal ability, and his desire to
monopolize the heroes in almost every
department caused many and bitter quar-
rels with his professional brethren"
Mrs. Hodgkinson, who was formerly
Miss Brett Of the Bath (England) the
ater, was the daughter of a singer at
Coyent Garden. She was a soubrette

A Canine That Had an Educated

Taste In Music.
1t is not generally known that the late
Sir Arthur Sullivan was not only pas
sionately fond Of dogs, but had made q
special study Of them in every way. The
brilliant composer, whose loss is indeed q
blow to the world at large, declared FIRE.
quently to the writer of this article that
In the dog Is embodied all the necessary
conditions for the appreciation Of music
Of all kinds and that the organ Of hear
ing in dog Is of marvellous delicacy. Sir
Arthur bore out the truth of this state.
ment by relating the following fascinat.
ing anecdotes Of incidents which came di.
rectly under his notice:
Some years ago, when Sir Arthur was
accustomed to go down to the theater
very regularly in order to conduct the re.
hearsals of his own operas, he was fol-
lowed every morning by a dog, which en-.
tered the theater the same time as he did,
placed itself between the legs of the mu.
sicians and listened delightedly, eagerly,
to the music. This occurred day after
day, until the constant appearance of the
dog at the rehearsals excited the curios-
ity and admiration not only of Sir Arthur
himself, but of all the musicians, who, not
knowing its name, gave him that of Mel
ody. Very soon he was petted by all, and
each one in turn invited the dog to din
ner-"Melody, will you dine with me to-
dayF These words were sufficient. The
dog followed his host, ate heartily and as
soon as dinner was over rushed off again
to the theater, found its way to the or.
chestra, placed itself in a corner and nev.
er left until the evening performance was
finished
Nothing could be more amusing, more
curious, than the attitude of Melody dur
ing the performance. If a new work
was being performed, he found it out be-
fore the overture had been played many
seconds. II the piece abounded in rich
and original melodies, he testified his
pleasure by his delighted barks and by
scraping his feet rapidly on the ground.
On the other hand, IL the piece was only
ordinary, insipid, Melody invariably gap
ed or yawned, turned his back upon the
orchestra, gazed around the boxes and at
last skunk away In a decidedly bad hu-
NOR. This expressive pantomime was
the most piquant criticism of the new op-
era.
When the work of some great master
was played, Melody always knew the pre-
else moment when an artist was going to
sing some striking song or play some spe-
cial part Of the work, and then his move
ments, his gestures, were such as to al
most plead for silence among the specta-
tors. 81 do not know" said Sir Arthur not
many weeks before his death, "what be-
came Of this dog later on, but his name
and his reputation are still fresh in the
memories Of several musicians who have
frequently seen his singular antics"

A paroxysm Of coughing may often be
prevented or cured by using little dry
salt as a gargle. For sore throat one Of
the best gargles is tannin dissolved in
water. The stronger the solution is the
better usually. In fact. in severe cases
the tannin is sometimes used almost as a
paste. For a cough a good remedy is
lemon and sugar. Roast a lemon very
carefully without burning it. When it
is thoroughly hot, cut and squeeze it into
cup upon three ounces of finely pow
dered sugar. A spoonful taken when a
cough is troublesome usually brings relief

Sydney Smith has immortalized the dis
comfiture of a would be aristocratic Eng
lish lady who, thinking it fine to appear
to know nothing of household matters,
tried to impress her guests at luncheon
one day by asking her page, with con-
descending air, John, what are these
tarts? Whereupon the boy (who had
just been sent out in a hurry to buy them)
imprudently answered, "Fourpence apiece,
ma'am."
The unconscious rebuke was certainly
well merited, but parallel instance Of
"giving away" even more complete and

case being an up country English resi-

heartily ashamed of his somewhat mar

by making as great show as possible

"Why are there not enough napkins"
asked he unwarily Of his native at
tendant, bright young lad from Madras.
"Sahib got no more left" blurted out
Ram Buksh in perfect sincerity.
A visible smile ran around the circle
of guests at this palpable exposure Of
their staggering friend. The host him
self turned as red as fire, but made no
