THE TAILOR TENOR.
Mow the Groat Rubini Came to Cul
’ tivate His Voice.
Among the chorus singers of the
theater of Bergmno, Italy, there
wag a tailor of verr moderate
means ard resources, who empioyed
all his talenis and ability toward
the support of a beloved mother,
One day as it chanced ihe celebrat
ed singer Nozari went to the =hop
of this modest artist in man’s wear
ing apparel to place an order for an
evening suit. :
Afier conversing for some littie
time upon the all absorbing subject
of fit and finish the singer noticed
that the face of thie tailor was fa
miliar_and, making inquiries, dis
covered” that he belonged to the
opera chorus.
“Have you a good voice ?” askel
Nozari.
“Not particularly,” replied the
tailor. “l can searcely reach A.”
“Tet me hear,” demanded Nozari,
stopping to a piano that stood
one corner of the shop. “Begin!”
The tailor with difficulty reach
ed (. :
“Now the A.”
“l cannot, signor.”
“Sing the A! 1 command vou!”
eried Nozari, showing signs of an
ger.
Agam a great effort was made,
and A was reached.
“And now the B flat!” eried No-
Z&TI.
The unfortunate tailor protested,
but all in vain. Nozari was deter
mined.
“Indeed I am not able.” |
“Sing it or by my soul I will”—-
“No. signor, do not he angry. I
will try.” |
The B flat was accomplished and
1 a manner that fairly astonished
the quondam pupil himself. His
arbition began to manifest itself.
“now you see that it is possible,”
g Nozari uetriamph, “and 1 tell
you. mv son, if vou will but prac
tic: aseilaoasiy veur will becomie the'
fir:! tcnar of Italy.” i
Noazart was not omistaken, for the

In Cornish chapels the rule is for
the men to sit on one side of the
building and the women on the
pther. A visitor and his fiancee re
cently went to chapel. Just before
the service began (lhe young man
was greatly astonished when the
chapel steward, observing that the
eouple were seated in the same pew,
came over to him and in a pene
irating voice said: “Come on out of
ghet, me son. We dor’t ’ave no

A GREAT DETECTIVE
Jome of the Trioke Played by a Noted
Engiish Sleuth.
It was in 1881 that Thomas
Gregory joined the London wmetro
politan force. In his time Gregory
arrested many notorious criminals,
He captured a gang who were
known as the “Cabinet of Crime”
and under whose guidance all big
robberics were carried ont. Gregory
was gifted with a faculty for dis
guising, and he appeared in many
characters. In“order to enter and
raid a club in Soho he was given the
task of gaining admitiance to the
premises. At an appointed time,
dress&l as+a pwor old man, he was
lurching up against the door laden
with a basket of groundsel. The
doorkeeper, a p:gihst, knocked him
over into the road, but this gave the
waiting officems an op;ortunity for'
getting inside and effecting their
mission. ‘
One summer for weeks he might
have bheen seen daily ontside the
general postoffice as a boot cleaner,
and eventually he brought off the
arrest of a gang.
Obtaining the position of valet to
a wealthy coiner, who kept a man
sion in Westminster, Gregory, with
other officers, contrived a big coup,
four confederates being sent to
penal gervitude.
An amusing story is told of one
of Gregory’s adventures. e was
keeping observation on the ecorner
of )gean street west and had adopt
ed the plan of selling matches. Ee
had on{v two boxes, a large and a
small one. A Scotchman went up
to him and offered a halfpenny for
the large box, at the same time
handing the officer a penny. Gregory
said he could not let himghave that
one, but would try to get one for
him. Just at this moment the man
he was watching passed by, and
Gregory went atter him and located
his residence. Some forty minutes
afterward Gregory returned. to the
corner of Dean street and found the
Scotchman awaiting him for his
matches and change.
A Bond street capture is quite a
dramatic little stery. One morning
(regory noticed in Bond street a
landau stop outside a jeweler’s shop.
A woman dressed in the height of
fashion alighted and looked into the
window. She somehow atiracted
the detective’s attention and was
seen to drop her parasol through
the grating under the window.
The shop assistants noticed her
trouble ans came out to help her
recover the article. No sooner had
they left the shop than two
“swells” cntered and proceeded to
fill their pockets with jewelry. The
detective got assistance and arvest
ed all three, who turned out to be
old convicts.—Pearson’s Weekly.
Food For Canaries.
The best of food for young cana
ries is hard boiled egg mixed with a
little wheat bread. éut up the %
fino and add to it a part of a
that has heen sorlced in water for a
few minutes and then squeeze dry.
(ireat care must be taken that the
food be fresh, for if it be the least
sour it will kill the birds. The
young ones arc nearly always fed by
the male bird, but in about two
weeks they will feed themselves,
When they are a month old put
them in a cage by themselves. Feed
them on the egg and bread mixed
with some of the seed that you give
the old birds, and, having continued
this diet for four or five weeks, you
may treat them as you do the old
ones. Keep your cage perfectly
clean, give the birds plenty of light
and fresh air and keep them out of
drafts. Sudden changes of temper
ature will be sure {0 make tg;
sick.—Scotsman.
Funny Irish Sayings.
Here are a few Irish bullsa: An
Irish member of the Ventnor local
board seme thirty years ago propos
ed. that St. Boniface down should
be planted with seme fine old oaks.
Horace Walpole records one
which he pronounces the best he
ever met with. “I hate that wom
an,” said a gentleman, looking at a
person who iad been his nurse. “I
hate her, for when I was a child shel
changed e at nurse.”
This was a perplexing assertio ‘
but a similar instance 1s recordeta‘
in the autobiography of an Irish
man, who gravely informs us that
he “ran away early in life from his
father on discovering he was only
his uncle.”—London Telegraph.
Try This.
Without any preliminary ask a
number of persons to kindly draw
from memory the figure which indi
cates 6 o’clock exactly as it appears
on the dials of their watches. Now
ask them to take out their watches
and look at them. Most of them
will discover that the characters
they saw so clearly at the foot of
the imaginary watch floating before
their mind’s cye have no existence
at all on the dial of the real watch,
where Its place is taken by the small
tsecnnds hand dial.--Strand Maga

CONJUNCTIVITIS.
Thers Are Several Varistiss of Thie
Disease of the Eyes.
Conjunctivitis, which is the most
common form of sore eyes, is an in
flammation of the thin, transparent
membrane covering the front syr
face of the eyeball and lining the
lids. :
Oculista distinguish several varie.
ties of this disease, the symptoms of
which vary greatly in intensity,
There may be merely a bloodshot
condition, due to the enlargement
of the blood vessels to such a size
that they become visible, accompa
nied by an itching and a feeling as
if there were dust in the eyes, with
perhaps a little sticky discharge
which glués the lids together in the
morning. The eyes are also sensi
tive to light and sometimes ache
slightly.
In more severe cases the dis
charge is profuse and yellowish, ui
cers may form, and the inflamme
tion may even extend to the deeper
structures of the eye and so desiroy
sight. -~
One of the chironic forms of con
junectivitis is that known as tracho
ma, or granular lids. This is very
difficult to cure and often results in
a 8 permanent injury to vision. [t
is also quite contagious. Indeed, all
forms of sore eye are probably con
tagious, but some are more so than
otgers, and for this reason the most
scrupulous precautions should be
taken to protect the other members
of the family when one has any
form of conjunctivitiz. The suffer
er should sleep in a bedl by himselt
and should have his own towels,
wash rag or sponge and handker
chigfs, and these when soiled
should be theroughly boiled in
separate vessel and should. not go
into the common wash.
The treatment of simple con
{'unctivitis consists chiefly in clean
iness. The eyes should be hathed
often in lukewarm water containing
a pinch of salt or in a solution of
boric acid, and some of the solution
should be dropped into ‘the eye, 8o
as to wash away the discharge.
The.eyes should be shielded from
the light by smoked glaszes or gog
gles. :
Little squares of cloth, cut large
enough to cover the eye, may be
{)]aced on a cake of ice. When cold
hey can be laid on the eye and
changed as soon as they become
warm. This application is often
very grateful to the sufferer and is
useful in subduing the inflamma
.o
If the irouble does not quickly
subside under this simple treat
ment a physician should be consuit
ed, for the eye is a very delicate or
gan, and irremediable mischief may
result if inflammation is allowed to
run on.
A very serious form of sere eye
is sometimes seen in newborn be
bies. This should never be trifled
with, but the doctor’s attention
should be called to it at once.
Children who suffer from repeat
ed attacks of conjunctivitis showld
be taken to the oculist for an ex
amination of the eyes, for it may be
that they nced glasses. — Youth’s
Companion.
Delirium Tremens.
The familiar symptoms of deli
rium tremens, known ae “snakes,”
have been made the subject of study
with some interesting results. It
appears that what have been sup
posed to be hallucinations have a
certain sort of evidenes in fact.
Certain blood vessels in the eves
become congested and assume 2
dark color. These when they ar
pear on the rgtina, which is ordi
narily trunsjm-ent, suggest to the
nervous and overwrought patient
the presence of some moving, living
creature. Imagination, of course,
increases the nervousness, and final
!{l the mind becomes so disordered
that the form of an offensive cres
ture is suggested. As these fancics
grow by’ what they feed on, it is
easy to see how creeping and crawl
ing things may fill the soul of the
victim with the most horrible sen
sations,
Gloves of Mary, Queen of Scots.
The famous gloves of Mary,
gueen of Scots, are still in existence.
he gave them on the day of her
execution to a gentleman of the
Dayrell family, and they still re
main in the possession of r{fis de
scendants. Ti:y are deseribed as
being of a cool, buff colored leather,
embroidered on ®he gauntlet in silk
and silver’ wire. Pink roses, trees
in two shades of green and a bird in
flight appear upon these wonderfu!
gloves, and the bright red lining of
the cuffs is still as fresh and gay a¢
when the unhappy queen first don
ned them. SilE ang leather gloves
were not the only kind with which
the Seottish queen was familiar, for
the poor lady had reason to remem:
ber the iron glove of Lindesey
when he forced his way to her
chamber to demand her abdicatior
grasping her shoulder so rudely a°
to leave marks on it for many s day.
