NAPOLEON LOVED SINGING.
Hf. I~nscres In Instrumental Music
Chiefly Curioxtfy.

HIS Interest In Instrumental Music
chfeay c~urioxfty.
Napoleon has been described as al
most a music hnter. A recent writer
put him at the very foot OF the list OF
modern rulers 50 far as appreciation or
even federation OF music was concerned.
Now ome an English denial OF the
Islander. In the Centlewoman Il Is ad-
mitted that the musical tastes OF "the
Corsican ogre were not elevated. But
for all that he loved singing so much
that many a time after a concer he
ordered the vocalists to come to the
palace and sing before him and the
Empress Josephine.
A curious anecdote Is told OF his
brusque manner IN dealing with the
artists. One night at a concert at the
Tuileries while Duport, the famous VIC
ionceuist, was performing a solo. the
Emperor suddenly entered. His Males
~ nodded his head approvingly, and
when the piece wal finished said 70 Du-
port:
How the deuce do you manage TO
keep that instrument so motonlessY'
and. taking up the cello. he tried to
jam Il between his spurred boots.
Poor Duport nearly tainted when he
saw his treasure treated like a war
horse. For several minutes he looked
on, trembling from head to foot. At
last. however. he darted forward and
out "sireF' in such pathetic tones
that the Emperor handed him back the
instrument.
Duport t%hercupon showed how the
instrument was held. but every time
his imperial master extended HIS hand
to attempt to do It himself Duport
threw himself back in alarm, tn final

her husband, who burst out laughing
and put an end to the cello lesson.

How Whitman Helped childs.

The poet Walt Whitman was, as is
well known, dependent during most of
his life upon the kindness of his friends
and admirers for support. A few years
before his death one of these friends
called upon him in his little house in
Camden.
"Well, Walt" be said. chow goes it
this winter? Any subscription needed
for ChristmasT

fall into talk with the drivers and con-
ductors and find out which of them
have no o%vercoats and guess at their
size and notify Childs, and then he
sends the overcoats. It's not hard
work." said the poet thoughtfully.

MOORISH SOLDIERS.
Their Methods In Battle and Their
System of Signals.

At fighting on horseback the Moors
are adopts and extremely mobile. But
they are incorrigibly lazy and seldom
indulge in night attack. When they
attack in force the horsemen usually
give a lift to the foot soldiers who ac-
company them or allow them to run
alongside and hold on to a stirrup iron.
The mounted men then make a charge.
wheel round and retire and make way
for the footmen, who crawl along the
ground. almost invisible. and who rise
to the attack if they come within strik-
ing distance of the enemy. As a rule,
the Rifians prefer to lure detached
parties into an ambush or defle and
thus infict heavy loss upon them. The
mounted men seldom dismount to fire.
and their firing. being from the sad
die, is very inaccurate. Should the adj
vance of the white troops be slow or
h~esitating the Moors effect a bold
combination between horsemen and
footmen and generally succeed in in
ficting heavy losses on their enemy.
The prime tactics of the Moors are to
delay the advance of an enemy as
much as possible by mounted rifle fire
until they can discern its extent and
direction and subsequently to try en-
veloping the advancing force. The
tribes also indulge in sniping. but not
to a very great extent. and they also
fight individually. They do not neglect
opportunities for stratagem and can
effect some very clever ruses. They
are also guilty of abusing the services
of the white flag in action.
The Moorish intelligence system is
an excellent one, and the tribes are
seldom without information regarding
the movements of an enemy. They
have also an excellent system of sig
mailing at night by means of small fires
dotted about the hills and ravines.
which are obscured and revealed in
accordance with an ingenious code Of
signals known to themselves.-Chicago

that he is always up to his eyes in

LONG LIVED OLIVE TREES.
Groves That Have Been Productive For
Many Centuries.

~dHJ centuries.
The longevity of olive trees is extraor-
binary. In Syria have peer found some
remarkably ancient olive trees whose
ages are established beyond question.
A trust deed exists which relates to an
orchard covering 400 trees near Tripoli,
Syria. the trust deed having been is
sued in. the year 1410.
Though the trees look aged. they still
bear fruit of fine quality in abundance
and are likely to maintain their pro-
d%uctiveness for many hundreds of
years. An olive grove neal Beirut
is admitted TO be the third largest
olive farm In the world. Syrian fruit
farmers are extending olive culture
with much zeal and effect.
Under European systems of culture
the Syrians make the olive tree bear
each season, while In the old days one
crop in three years was thought to be
all that the trees could produce. The
low cropping capacity of the trees was
due to the native method of thrashing
the fruits from the branches with
sticks. which seriously injured them.
The methods of grinding the olive
for oil and picking the fruit are pecul-
lar. Neither the grinders nor pickers
receive wages. but are paid on per-
centage. The piekers receive 5 per
cent of the actual fruit picked. and the
grinders get 10 per cent of the fruit

embarrassing COAL.
Not Done For the Sake of Neatness,
but to Prevent Thefts.

but to Prevent Ihefts.
PERSONS who have been somewhat
astonished by having whitewashed
coal d4livered to them will be inter-
ested TO know that the embarrassing
is not done to improve the appearance
or to increase the burning qualities.
The treatment neither improves nor
harms the fuel.
1t is a detective scheme on the part
of the railroads to locate and to pre-
vent theft of the coal as 1t is hauled
from the mines to the consumer.
These depredations amount to thou
sands OF tons annually. and the rail-
roads are the sufferers. as 1t is up to
them to deliver as many IONS at their
destination. often a thousand miles
away. as were weighed in when the
car was turned over for transportation.
Two or three tons may be removed
from a carload containing forty tons
without attracting attention to its de-
creased quantity until the car is again
placed on the scales. To locate the
loss, says Popular Mechanics. limewa-
ter Is sprayed over a carload of coal.
In a short time the water has evapo-
rated. leaving a load of white coal.
Then removal of any coal leaves a big
black spot. which is quickly noticed by
inspectors and station agents and the
leak found and stopped.

The theatre going public of this city are without doubt the best critics to be found anywhere, and they are wise too in their conception of the good things offered them. While they may not blister their hands in their en- thusfasm over this of that scene of the play they know when work is well done and demonstrate by their, yes, boosting is the work. This shown each week by the steady growth of the business of every production of the all ern Lights" the play now being pre- sented is drawing almost capacity houses at every performance. Why? Someone is sure to ask and then an- swer the question with: Because it IS wholesome patriotic play, played well and we like it." And there you are. Every citizen young or old who loves the old flag, and his or her coun- try, will go home after seeing this play better satisfied with this great country we live in.
 John Ince, Polls leading man has the production at the cool, comfort able playhouse, made popular by the untiring and business like methods of that prince of managers, S. E. Poli, In the role of John Swiftwind, Mr. Ince is the perSonification of the educated red man. Reading his lines with the finest enunciation. and the most deli cate finesse. It is indeed a treat when he is on the stage. With a part that gives so many opportunities for over acting, it is indeed a source of pleas derful conception of a most difficult role.

ASSAILS
 INCOME TAXES
Justice Says Measure Will Tax States
 Ont of Their Vitality.
PUTS ALL POWER IN NATION

Milwaukee. July 22.-"But now. after have the privilege of income taxes by passes, as I presume it will, and Con- gress sees fit to levy income taxes on all the income received from substan- tial, direct personal property and real estate, what will the. States do in case they need large sums of money for their own revenue?
 The power to tax, as John Marshall said, is the power to destroy. If once you give the power to the nation to tax all the incomes you give them the power to tax the States, not out of their existence. but out of their vital ity.''
 David J. Brewer, Justice of the Su- preme Court of the United States used these words yesterday in addressing the members of the Association of Agents. Northwestern Mutual Life In surance Company. And he continued: ::
 When George Washington in his farewell address cautioned this nation against going into needless debt, and when he advised that whenever it should become necessary, by reason of wars, to pay as promptly as possible not casting an unjust burden upon postertty, believe he stated a political and philosophical truth which ought never to be ignored.
 Since the Spanish war we have not reduced our national debt. Indeed, we are now talking of adding to it, owing to the unwise ambition of political leaders and of the President who re- 5oiced to speak of me and my fleet and piled up millions of dollars in expendi- lures for ironclads that will rust be- fore they ever do a thing for this coun- try.
