Mabel Mckinley Again
Triumphant.

Ever since the inception of Mabel
McKinley's famous intermezzo,
"Anona," there has been a rivalry
among music comp osers to pro-
duae some profitable composition
of that character. In the past six
months no less than 300 marches
and two-steps have been written,
none of which, however. has at
tracted any ttention outside of
the publishers shelves. 1t seems,
indeed, nowadays very difficult
task to catch the popular ear with
anything ordinary, and the extra
ordinary is scarce commodity in
the line of origi nal dance music.
When "Hiawatha" and "Anona'
were written, there was universal
acclaim for music of this kind.
OrcheStras and bands throughout
the country took up the numbers,
and in a short ii me they became
the standard hits of the hour, and
I'D to the present time, although
'Anona" is still welcome offer
ing, there seems to be a dearth of
this class of dance music.
A peculiar visitation in this field
occurred with the appearance of a
new composition from the pen of
the author of "Anona" a few days
ago. Encouraged by the success
OF her previous composition, Mabel
Mckinley has just produced an
other very unique work. which
connoisseurs aver will even eclipse
the fame of her "Anona" effort.
The new production is entitled
karama,' and both its music and
title page are rather startling in
originality. The Indian idea in
corporated in "Anona" has been
supplanted with Japhnese theme.
The title page bears a striking por-
trait of a Mkado's daughter in
black and orange, and the melody
is concentration of Oriental
measures which fill the heart and
feet with animation.
Loveman, Joseph & Loeb
are the first to introduce
"Karama' to the Birmingham
public, and their display Of
this composition is the talk
of Alabama-and only 23c

BULLDOGS POOR FIGHTERS.
Canines Very Popular But Are Not as Formidable as Many
 Suppose.

It will surprise most uninformed peo- pie to learn that the bulldog is about the most popular dog of the present day, says a writer in Country Life. This is true at least with regard to the exhibit ng section of the dog world. Undoubt- edly the ordinary citizen, who has in his minds eye one of those half-bred dogs which may sometimes be seen hauling along as tough a looking specimen of the sport as is the dog, is not so far wrong in failing to understand how any person of gentlemanly instincts can fancy such dogs; but these are not bull dogs, any more than mule Is race horse. They are merely half bred fight ing terriers. Then the daily press is not free from misleading the public, for nearly every case of attack on the part of dog Is ascribed to savage bull- dog:' whereas bulldogs are not savage and are uncommon1y poor fighters. Ten acity of grip, with all the strength of his powerful jaws, is about the end of the bulldog as fighter.

REFRESHING DESSERT DISH
Easy to Prepare and Will Be Found Very Palatable in Sum
 mer or Winter.

Tn our house, milk sherbet is the most popular dessert on the hottest day of summer or the coldest day of winter. To make it, you take one quart of rich milk, three lemons, three-fourths of a pint of granulated sugar, one tablespoonful of granulated white gelatine, says a writer in Table Talk
 Put the gelatine to soak in half cup full of the cold milk, putting the remain der of the milk to boil in farina boiler with half the sugar; stir we'll. When it boils, add the soaked gelatine, remove from the fire, and stir until all is thor oughly dissolved. Strain into the ice cream can; put away to cool. While it cools prepare the fiavoring thus: Wash the lemons we'll, dry them, grate the rind of one and squeeze the juice of three in a dish, add the remaining half of the sugar, stir and mix thoroughly; stand in a cool place until needed
 Pack the tub in which the freezer is placed in the regular way with very fine- ly broken ice and coarse salt Pour the lemon and sugar into the prepared milk; cover and freeze In the ordinary way, which will take from 15 to 20 minutes Remove the dasher, pack away, and give at least one hour to ripen before using. If these directions are followed exactly, the result will be most satisfac- tory, producing a delicious and inex7 pensiye dessert for i've or six persons

EMPLoYEs WAKING ADS. '
Many Firms Compel Men on Payaoll to Use Their Articles While
 Not at Work.

Many firms who deal in articles of apparel and adornment look on their employes-out of business hours as mere walking advertisements for their specialties. Wearing his employers latest novelty in fashionable attire, the young counter-jumper has to move about among his friends and acQuain- tances, doing his best to create de- hand for the article in question. Some of them like the system exceedingly, while others as cordially detest it, but any failure to wear these novelties in male adornment-which are served our to selection of the staff as they ap- pear-would probably be met with dis missal
 Matters and tailors submit cheerful ly to wearing the very latest shape in everything; but an employe in fa- nous firm of cycle dealers and agents told the writer that their staff had not only to ride the company's machines supplied at cost price-but to use and endeavor to popularize every absurd invention that the firm took up. Thus. he said, his bicycle was equipped with "a speed indicator, patent purscture stopper, pneumatic back-wheel brake. self-cleaning chain, and a folding han de bar, not to mention 8 lamp burn ing compressed gas, and an anti-vi- bratory spring saddle.
