Grassini, the great italian singer,
was very much interested in the young
girls among her relatives and always
ready to encourage any talent she could
find In any of them. One day novice
was brought to her with the unpromis-
Ing words, "She is spoiled contralto
and will never do anything on the
stage" But the singer listened while
the young girl began her frightened
trllls. when suddenly Grassini caught
her In her arms with delight. "Why,
you are not n contralto," she said, "but
the finest soprano in the world. Your
voice is far stronger than mine. Study
well. You want none of my help.
There is a rich bank in your throat"
The little singer was none other than
Giulia Grisi.

BETTER THAN PILLS.
The Gymnasium Has Cured Many &
Case of DYspepaia.

Iase oi Dyspepsias
William H Evarts used to boast that
he had never even looked into q gym
nasium, which was his way of saying
that in his opinion gymnastics were all
nonsense. People say to me, Mr..
Evarts, you're hale and hearty when
you ought to be thinking of your
grave, and they wonder how do it."
OF course the secret of the haleness
and the heartiness was temperance
moderation, says the New York News.
No man who goes to bed on supper
of mince pie and Welsh rabbit and
wakes up for breakfast of sausage
and buekwheat cakes and then spends
most of the day twisting from one side
of q desk to the other can long avoid
the prescription of hot water thrice n
day before meals. Temperance" is
one of the words that are ridiculed I'M
til they impress themselves upon giddy
humanity with the effect of branding
iron.
Some happy mortals like Mr.. Evarts
have no use for gymnasium, for they
find gymnastie apparatus everywhere.
The street is their half mile track; the
two flights of steps-or maybe ten
flights-are the lung developers; the
free and vigorous swing of the arms
and the throwing out of the chest are
as good as parallel bars.
There are men somewhat intemper-
ate in their temperance, displaying too
much of the good thing. They crack
your knuckles when they take you by
the hand: they pound you on the back,
as If tishbone We're stuck in your
throat. and say, brace up, old man:
you'll be round shouldered If you don't
take care
But there is this TO be said in favor
of the gymnasium-it has cured many
case of dyspepsia and to that extent
has made the world sweeter.

The strength of the linguistic instinct
in children is shown by the remark
able shifts they VIII make to find forms

CUP DEFENDER
WINS RACE AGAIN
Beat TWO Older Boats Decis,

(By Associated Press,)

NEWPORT, II, l., June s0.-The Re-
lance scored another decisive victory
over the Constitution and Columbia to-
day In a fifteen mile thrash to windward
ana return. Beat for beat, the Consti-
tuition won over the Columbia, but time
allowance Will probably give the latter
second place. The new craft sailed the
course In seven minutes two seconds
less time than the Constitution and eight
minutes one second less than tho Older
boat. The Constitution covered the thirty
miles In ffty-nlne seconds less time
than tho Columbia.
1t was a cracking race. under condi-
tions supposed to be more to the liking
OF the Columbia than either of the other
boats, but the Reiaace again proved
herself to be the better boat, both to
w1ndward and running dead before the
breeze.
Only during the first five miles OF the
race was there any doubt about tho re-
suit, and while this distance was being
sailed there was a battle royal between
the Reliance ard Columbia, which ro-
suited In the former establishing a

The race was sailed In breeze OF from

George Smith, colored, met instant
death last night. and dog whose life
he was trying to save also fell victim to
one Of the most singular accidents that
has occurred in years.
An old telephone wire on Seventeenth
Street sagged down until It rested upon
a hlgh-current wire running up the street.
AS quick as a flash a connection was
made. and the cutters of nine houses,
from No. I'LL North. became heavily
charged.
In the gutter of No. 1T dog was tied.
He got pretty sharp shock and howled

He caught hold of the dog with one
hand and laid thet other on the gutter.
without a struggle he dropped in his
tracks stone dead and the dog fell life

Meanwhile the current was busy. En-
tering the house No. 121, occupied by
S. sIdenberg, clothier. 1t ran along the
stove pipe and set fire to the flooring.
A still alarm was sent In, to which
No. engine and No. truck responded.
The fire was extingushed and the dan
gerous wire removed. The damage by
fire was trifling.
Smith, who was killed. lived in the
kitchen of No. 127 North Seventeenth
Street. Coroner Taylor, who viewed his
remains. turned the body over to rela-
tlves, an inquest not being necessary
The sudden death Of Smith and the dog

hood The man had been talking and
laughing with some friends just prior to
his attempt to rescue the dog He re-
marked as he started that some one was
thowing rocks at the animal. "A moment
after he was dead.
Fortunately no one dared to go near
the bodies until the fire derartment had
removed the cause of the danger. other
wise, there would no doubt have been
other tragedies.
