OF sixteen, but young Raeburn Is al
most nineteen and does not look or ap-
pear younger.
This interesting young singer has
been a member of a boy choir since his
seventh year. He is a native Of Canada
and entered the choir Of Trinity church,
New York city, at the age of eleven.
When he arrived at the G at which
most boys lose their soprano tones the
choirmaster believed that he saw signs
Of the approaching change so much
dreaded by boy singers who have beer
soloists and broke the intelligence as
kindly as he could. Raeburn took the
hint and went his way Sorrowfully.
Two years later he returned to Trini-
ty and asked to be given a trial. The
choirmaster tried to dissuade him, but
the lad was persistent and declared
that he was "all right" again. To end
the matter he was given an opportu-
nifty Of showing what he could do. To
the chotrmaster's infinite establishment
and delight the boy sang with an ease
and brillfancy that he had never be-
fore attained. His voice retained all
Its old time sweetness and quality and
had gained UNNECESSARILY in volume
and expression. He was re-engaged at
once and has remained at Trinity ever
since.
Raeburn's long career as a chorister
has made him an excellent and most
competent musician, and his repertory
Is very extensive. He has sung in most
Of the oratorios, masses and sacred
that are produced by Ameri-
can choirmasters and has mastered all
technical difficulties. He is also
with most Of the best known
arias of grand opera.

Louis Napoleon Answered.

Lady Blessington did not always
meet with gratitude from some whose
position at last enabled them to serve
her. She sheltered in her London home
Louis Napoleon after he had escaped
from his prison in Ham. After Louis
Napoleon became president of the
French republic he seems to have
turned the cold shoulder on Lady
Blessington and Count D'Orsay when
they approached him In Paris. There
was a story going at the time, for the
accuracy Of which we certainly will
not vouch, but which appeared in sew
eral of the London papers. Shortly be-
fore Lady Blessington's death she met.
so the story goes, the president driving
in the Champs Elysees. He stopped
his carriage, she stopped hers, and they
conversed for a few minutes. His
manner seemed to her determinedly
chilly. do you stay long in PARISH"
he asked as he was about to drive On.
NO" she answered. "And you?"-

A Photographic Warming

Inc following story of Il young lady
living in the country who came to
London to be photographed is told by
NJ. A. p. and vouched for by a well
known London photographer. After
some days the lady, Miss B., was
Informed the photograph was not a
success, and another sitting was sug-
gested. This she agreed to, but again
was Informed that the photograph was
a failure. There was a third sitting.
In two days time she received an
urgent letter from the photographer
asking her to come up to his studio
and TO bring q friend with her. Miss
Is. went, accompanied by her mother,
n was shown the amazing results OF
the three sittings. The pictures of the
girl herself were quite good, but in
each plate there was to be seen stand
ing behind her the figure Of a man
holding q dagger in his upllfted hand.
The features, though faint, were clear,
ly discernible, and Miss B. recognized
them as those of her fiancee. IN officer
IN the Indian army. The effect of this
experience was so great that after a
few days she wrote out to India, break,
ing off the engagement.

The Pointer.

There is as much fallacy in attempt
ing to prove the origin of pointing as in
a like attempt to prove the origin of
eating. AS a matter of fact, the point
ing act commonly exhibited by the
pointer and setter is an incident of the
capture or attempted capture Of food
by dogs, and also by wolves and foxes.
Coyotes have been seen to draw and
point on prairie dogs and grouse in
precisely the same that the
pointer and setter draw on game birds.
There were the same rigidity and
stealth. the pause to judge of distance
and opportunity and the final rigid
pause when all the energies are con-
centrated for the final spring to cap
ture. All the phenomena displayed by
the dog family indicate that the draw
ing and pointing in the pursuit of prey
were eve natural traits. 1t may be
reasonably believed that man could
not breed the pointing instinct out Of
the dog if he attempted to do So.

Bad Stomach Makes
Bad Blood.

You can not make sweet butter In n
foul, unclean churn. The stomach serves
as a churn I'm which TO agitate, work up
and disintegrate our food as it Is being
digested. If it be weak, sluggish and
foul the result Will be torpid, sluggish
liver and bad, impure blood.
The ingredients Of Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery are just such as best
serve TO correct and cure all such de-
engagements. 1t Is made up without a
drop of alcohol in its composition; chem
ically pure, triple-refined glycerine being
used instead of the commonly employed
alcohol. Now this glycerine is of itself n
valuable medicine, instead of a deleteri-
GUS agent like alcohol, especially in the
cure OF weak stomach, dyspepsia and the
various forms of Indigestion. Prof. Finley
Ellingwood, NJ. D., of Bennett Medical
College, Chicago, says of it:
yin dyspepsia IL serves an excellent pur-
pose. IL is one of the best manufact-
/, uTed products OF the present time in its
faction upon enfeebled, disordered stomachs:
especially If there Is liberation or catarrhal
g~astritis catarrhal Inflammation of stomach.
IT Is a most efficient preparation. Glycerine
VIII relieve many cases of pyrosis (heartburn)
and excessive gastric acidity. 1t Is useful in
chronic intestinal dyspepsia, especially the
fiatulent variety. and in certain forms of
chronic constipation. stimulating the secre-
tory and excretory functions of the intestinal
glands"
When combined, in Just the right propor-
tions. with Golden Seal root, Stone root.
Black Cherrybark. Queens root. Blood
root and Mandrake root, or the extracts of
these, as in DR.. Pierce'S Golden Medical
Discovery, there can be no doubt of its
great efficacy in the cure of all stomach,
liver and intestinal disorders and derange-
ments. These several ingredients have
the strongest endorsement in all such
cases OF such eminent medical leaders as
Prof. X. Bartholow. N. d., of Jefferson Med
icaI College. Chicago; Prof. Hobart A. Hare.
M. d.. OF Medical Department. University of
Pa; Prof. Laurence Johnson, NJ. d., Medical
department., University of New York; Prof.
NJ: Hale, NJ. D.. Hahnemann Medical
College. Chicago: Prot. John NJ. Scudder, NJ. ID.
and Prof. John King. NJ. D.. Authors of the
American Dispensatory. and scores of others
among the leading medical men of our land.
Who can doubt the curative virtues of
a medicine the ingredients of which have
such a professional endorsement?
Constipation cured by Doctor Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. One or two a dose.

The Fork.

1t is about 1900 years ago since the
fork made its appearance in Europe.
In so A. D. a son of the doge Pietro
Orsolo had welded in Venice the Bril-
zantine Princess Anglia, who produced
at the wedding breakfast a silver fork
and gold spoon. Then the high Vene-
ton families followed suit, and these
martyrs to fashion pricked their lips
with the new instrument. The fork
prospered, however, and spread over
Italy. In 1879 it had travelled as far
as France, and in 1908 a traveller
brought 1t direct to England.

The Fountain Pen.

The fountain pen is not an invention
of recent years. In Samuel Taylor's
Universal System Of Shorthand Writ
ing" published in 1876, we find proof
of the fountain pens great age.
Il have nothing more to add" wrote
Samuel Taylor, "for the use or instruc-
ton Of the practitioner, except a few
words concerning the kind Of pen prop
er to be used for writing shorthand.
For expeditions writing some use what
are called fountain pens, into which
your ink is put, which gradually flows
when writing, from thence into a small
er pen cut short to fit the smaller end
of this instrument, but it is a hard
matter to meet with a good one of this
kind"

A Rnttie In the Gen.

Did you ever see blueish charge u
school of mezkaden at sea? That Is
something worth seeing. The bluefsl
throw their lines forward until they al.
most surround the menhadcn, and they
attack them flank and rear. The men
baden fairly make the water boil In
their efforts to escape, while all around
the enemy is at them tearing recent
lessly. Into all this commotion comes
i great shark. It's Il picnic for the
shark, a school of mcnhaden all herGel
up for It's benefit. 1t swlms ~leisure,y
into the midst of them, opens its mouth
and takes in half Il dozen menhaden at
a gulp. 1t swims around and bites out
half q dozen more from the school. II
gorges Itself without effort. But the
menhaden are not nearly as much dis
turbed by the presence of the monster
swimming about among them as they
are by the charging bluefish. The shark
takes half a dozen fish or more at q
bite, while the bluefsh only bites n
piece out of a single fish, but there is
only II shark, while there may be
thousands Of bluefish plunging and
tearing necessarily and killing and
manning at every stroke. The sharks
a brute, but under such circumstances
the menhaden have less OF fear than
they have of contempt for him.

"That was very thoughtful of you.
But how did you come to take so much

Certainly"
I'm not going to say you mustn't go

up until you come home when you are

ingly, that every time 1 look at it the

The story of am Invention.

The power loom was the invention of
q farmers boy, who had never seen or
heard Of such n thing. He fashioned
II with his penknife, and when he got
1t all done he showed 1t with great en-
thusiasm to his father, who at Once
kicked 1t an to pieces, saying he would
have no boy about him who would
spend his time on such foolish things.
The boy was sent TO q blacksmith to
learn a trade, and his master took d
lively Interest in him. He made a
loom Of what was left of the one his
father had broken up and showed it to
his master. The blacksmith saw he
had no common boy as an apprentice,
and that the invention was a valuable
one. He had a loom constructed under
the supervision of the boy. 1t worked
to their perfect satisfaction, and the
blacksmith furnished the mean to
manufacture the looms, and the boy
received half the profits. In about a
year the blacksmith wrote to the boys
father that he should bring with him
a wealthy gentleman, who was the in
ventor Of the celebrated power loom.
You may be able to judge of the as
constituent at the old home when his
son vas presented to him as the in
ventor, who told him that the loom
was the same as the model that he
had kicked to pieces the previous year.

PORTRAITS.
Interest Is Inspired In Them by the
Bicentenary Ceremonies.

The ceremonies in Philadelphia in
honor of the two hundredth anniver-
sary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin
have aroused interest in portraits and
statues Of the famous sage. One of
the best Of the portraits Is the painting
of him by Greuze, for which he sat
While in residence in France. 1t is in

in the diplomats house at Passy. The

George Eliot and .RomoIa..

George Eliot's first arrangement with
the publisher of "Romola" was for no
less a sum than 10000 guineas. "As
that is so very large a figure" he said,
Il must run it through fifteen numbers
of the Cornhill." NO" she answered;
sit must finish in twelve numbers or
the artistic effect Of the story will be
lost. l quite understand the necessity
for its prolongation from a commercial
point Of view, so We'll say 1000
guineas instead of the 10000" And
1000 guineas was accordingly paid for
the copyright. Three thousand guineas
seem a large sun to give up for an
artistic scruple, but she did it.

Bad For Creditors.

In the faraway, benighted commu-
nifty of Damen, in Africa, the old fash
Toned method Of throwing a debtor
into prison, where he is safe from the
tormenting visits of his creditors, is
not followed. Instead, he is practical
ly turned over to the mercy of the
creditors in a literal sense. A heavy
tree log is attached to his bare leg,
and this he is obliged to drag after
him wherever he goes. There is no
escaping the creditors now, and the
log remains bound to his ankle until
his debts are paid.

n. D RAEBURN.
Noted Male ChOrisfer who ut Nine
teen Still Sings Soprano.

II. Tindell Raeburn Is in some re-
spects the most remarkable boy choris-
ter In America. Indeed it Is not proba-
BILE that any of the present English
cathedral choirs contains Il soprano of
such uniform excellence. His voice is
a dramatic soprano of great breadth
and f~lexibility, and it's tonal qualities
are so unusual that his singing has at
tracted much attention from teachers
Of reputation all over the country. An
other unique feature of this young
mans singing is to be found in the
fact that he has long passed the age
at which the boy soprano is at his best
and still retains his beautiful voice at
Its highest stage Of development. A
boys soprano rarely survives the age

Of its being from Franklin's French
residence adds a deep interest to it
and it is considered a strikingly beau
dful painting. 1t was loaned by the
daughters of the late General Sanford
to the American Philosophical society
and hung in the Pennsylvania Acad-
envy of Fine Arts with that other in
ueresting portrait of Franklin, which
was presented to the United States by
the governor general of Canada, Earl
Grey. The latter was painted by an
eminent English artist, Benjamin VIII
son. in 1859, and was taken from
