HOW MAUREL LEARNED TO ACT
Friend Of Great Barrytone Told Him
OF His Shortening, to Very
Good Effect.

London-The secret of Chaliapine
(the Russian singer who has been so
successful in London) seems to be the
same as that of Maurel, one of the
first Of the great modern operate
barrytones.
Maurel began as a star singer in the
old style. One day when he was prac-
ticing in his hotel he received visit
from a painter who lived in stdio at
the top of the hotel. The painter
came to say how much he had enjoyed
the singing Of the great barrytone.
Your voice enters my room like a
ray of sunshine. ! have bought seat
for tomorrow to hear you in William
Tell"
Maurel did not see the painter again
for some time and when he met him
in the street some weeks afterward
he asked him II he had been to will
liam Tell" The painter seemed very
cold about it. He complained that
Maurel had not given the impression
of the character of the fearless hunt
err" Maurel took this to heart and
from that time studied the art Of act
ing until 1t was said of him that he
was IAN artist who could act and paint
with his voice"
Verdi said of Maurel, after the first
performance of "Otello." When he
sings his best he makes one forget he
is singing" II seems to be the same
with Chapiapine.

Men who do like them will take care
of them, and when they are taken
care of they are no more liable to
disease than any other farm animal.
The sheep is the most modern ami
NAL In creation. BY that We mean
that he has left no fossil remains In
his own kind or ancestry. He is q
development of the last days Of crea-
ton and of about the same geological
age as mankind. There is no animal
on the farm that is more capable Of
responding to different methods OF
treatment and adapting himself to
different environments than is the
sheep.
He can be bred into almost any
thing of the sheep kind. long. coarse
wool. or short, fine wool. horns or no
horns. black or white. big carcass

In putting out a new orchard the
grower should be careful to get trees
free from injurious insects OF any
kind. 1t is always best to purchase
from the most reliable nurserymen.
nurserymen who fumigate their stock
before sending II out. II a nursery
man is known to fumigate his trees
before shipping them, there Is little
danger of getting any of the unde-
sired insect enemies. After the trees
are planted they should be watched
closely from year to year, and any
thing of a suspicious nature should be
thoroughly examined into. San Jose
scale is quite difficult to find. How

accordingly. Ordinarily 1t can be
controlled by the use of the lime
sulphur solution, but IL trees are thor
oughly infested and nearly dead they
should be cut and burned.
The lime-sulphur wash is found to
be the most efficient remedy for San
Jose scale. 1t is a preparation which
most anyone can prepare and is not
very expensive. Some fruit growers
and entomologists use salt in addi-
ton to the lime and sulphur In max
ing this spray, but 1t is now being
left out by many. In the modified
form the following proportions are
used:
Lime, 21 pounds; sulphur. Is
pounds; water, so gallons.
The sulphur should first be made
into a thick paste by stirring it into a
vessel of cold water. It should be
thoroughly mixed with the water SO
that no dry Jumps of the sulphur will
remain. The next step Is to take

tie, and heat 1t to boiling. When the
boiling point is reached stir In the

violent boiling on account OF the
rapid stacking of the lime in the hot
water. The higher temperature pro

making this solution. After the agi

1t often happens that infestations

MANNED BY BUFFALO
Elephant Hunters Experience in
the Belgian Congo.
Shoots Animal When II Appeared In
Range and Follows Quarry Into
Jungle Only to Be Set Upon
and Nearly Killed.

London.-A terrible experience with
a buffalo recently befell wellknown
elephant hunter In the Belgian Congo.
He was after elephants when the ami
NAL appeared within range. and, con-
trary to his usual custom. the hunter
fired. The shot took effect and the
buffalo disappeared into the jungle.
The hunter, who is a dead-shot, and
expected to find his quarry dead, fol-
lowed. Suddenly without the slight
est warning, the wounded beast
charged. believing with rage and pain,
from behind some bushes SO close at
hand that the hunter had no time to
raise his rife and fire.
Throwing aside the rife, he sprang
into the air and clutched at branch
of a tree beneath which he was stand
ing, and by drawing up his legs just
managed to escape the buffalo's horns.
But worse was to come. The buffalo
turned and surveyed its foe hanging
helplessly overhead and Immediately
bounded into the air, its terrible horns
searching madly for its victim.
The unfortunate man could climb no
higher. for the tree was a small one,
and one of the horns caught him on
the thigh, ripping it open like a knife.
Again and again the beast sprang at
the man, and again and again the re-
lentless horns tore at his thigh and
leg.
With wonderful strength and cour-
age the hunter bore about fifteen ag-
onizing moments OF this torture, until
at last the bullet took effect and the
animal dropped dead on the ground
