LEARNING TO SIN French Singing Masters Have Meth- ods That Are Quite Original a the Herlin Tageblatt The methods adopted by French singin ers have been amusingly burlesqued by a French writer.

From Life. . “Here is your Christmas present.” There was look of great happiness on Dimpleton’s face as he turned toward his wife and handed to her a neat rectangular package, on which her name was careless- ly written in pencil. my dear,” he continued, as with an air of mystitication his wife cut the string and examined curiously in turn a bright new pass book and check book of a well- known bank, “for some time I was troubled to know just what to get you. Recalling the number of occasions that you have re- marked that you would like to feel that you were independent, and knowing also | what an excellent thing it is for a woman to acquaint herself with the ordinary methods of doing business, it occurred to me that it would be a rice thing to open up a bank account for your own use. I have, therefore, deposited $1,000 to your credit. Here is your bank book and your book of blank checks, and you have only to step around to the bank with me and eave your signature, and the thing will be complete. There, what do you think of that for your Christmas?" t's lovely, dear, of course,” replied Mrs. Dimpleton, looking at him somewhat vaguely, as she absently turned over the leaves of the check book, “and yet, do you know, I think I would rather have had the money.” AS Arriving at a Conclusion.

Ave. Suits and Furs, From the Providence Journal. Some one in Boston imagines that he has “ritten a funny paragraph about the prac- tice of a certain class of Englishmen in dropping the letter “h” when {t should be sounded and plecing it at the beginning of words where it does not belong. The Bos- ton critic evidently forgets that he lives in a glass house, and that Englishmen have opportunities of throwing stones. Of course, it tries one’ patience to hear a Briton ask a friend, to ’ave a happle, but the Boston way of misusing the letter “r" is hardly less" tolerable than the Englishman's abuse ‘of “h.” Indeed, the Boston offense 13, the. greater, because the sraduate of Harvard-has as much trouble with “r’ as the Cape Cod fisherman who never heard of the classics, while the culti- vated Englishman has no trouble in keep- ing “h” in its proper place. Every ore in Boston and vicinity finds it impossible to sound the letter ‘‘r” at the end of a word. “Butter,” for example, is “buttah.” and flower,” is ‘“flowah.” This peculiarity Gf speech; would be less notice- able if the Bostonian were incapable of pronouncing the letter at all, but when we note his facilty in putting an “r” at the end of a word terminating in “a,” the Englishman's juggling of “h" is not so very surprising. After speaking of “puah Watah,” the cultured Back Bay resident will talk about the “Atlantar exposition, the “Omahor station,” a “Newport villar, &c., and in the three last-named words the “r” will be rolled as distinctly as in any of the western states, where the peo- ple are noted for their mastery of the let- ter which is too formidable for a Boston scholar. —-——-+e-+.

Most of the Antique Furniture Sold in America is of Moderm Manufacture. London Letter to Philadelphia Times. Beware of alleged antique furniture ship- ped from this country for sale in America. Such furniture, if genuine, can generally command a ready sale in the London mar- kets, and traveling Americans prefer to buy their own relics on the spot. A friend of mine who lives in the “garden county” of England—Devonshire—tells me that in the midst of green meadows in a remote part of the lovely county there works a firm of cabinet makers, whose achievements in the art of “faking” can hardly be excelled even by the artists who transform pot boilers into works of old masters. These people confine their efforts entirely to manufacturing antique furniture for the American market; and this is the way, for instance, an “olde oaken cheste” is fash- icred. First of all, the chest is strongly built of deal boards—practically a superior packing case—the nails 2re sunk and the cavities filled with some kind of cement. Then the chest is stained and the remark. able resemblance to old oak is attained. ‘To secure the specific gravity required, a very shallow false bottom is arranged, in which is placed a perfectly fitting sheet of lead. Of course, the best part of the fake is in the carving. One memb2r of the firm is particularly clever in this direction. His inspiration is derived from an old family Bible, the illustrations in which are sur- rounded by borders of quaint’and curious design, with the grotesque heads such as one sees in gargoyles. ‘The complete result is calculated to deceive any but an expert. It is said that a lively market for the stuff was once obtained in London, where it was sold by szetion, also that a smart American upset the game. He suspected a chest which was being offered, and surreptitiously applied his penknife to such purpose that he laid bare a patch of white deal and broke up the sale. Now the firm export their wares to the United States on commission. But chests are not the only articles cf- fered for sale by these “collectors of antique furniture.” " They have even the temerity to attach a historical interest to some of their products. ‘Thus a carven chair may be la- beled as having belonged tu Queen Eliza- beth, or a cabinet elaborately wrought, but wh rusty, uncouth hinges, as having been owned by Oliver Cromwell or Sir Walter Raleigh. The rusty hinges, by the way, are taken from barn doors in the neighborhood and tutored into convenient shap2. A capi- tal effect is gained by loading up a pistol or a gun with a heavy charge of sparrow shot and firing at the furniture from a due dis- tance. This represents the ravages of the insidious worm. ~-~s0-. A LOST KEEPSAKE And Its Recovery Formed an Odd In- cident of a Recent Wedding. From the Rochester. Democrat and Chronicle. A very singular incident, which occurred in connection with one of Rochester's recent weddings, is going the rounds of the polite society of the city. One of Rochester's prom- inent young men wooed and won a maiden living in a small country town not far from the elty. The yeung lady has numerous friends in town, and special arrangements were made by them to attend the marriage festivities, a special car being chartered for the occasion. On the afternoon of the joyful day the bridegroom went into the rooms of a well- known manicure, and, after receiving the necessary attention, tendered in payment two silver dollars, as he supposed. The manicure accepted the money without ques- tion, and the gentleman left the establish- ment. Hardly had he gone away when one of Rochester's society leaders, a® handsome woman, who was aiso a wedding guest, came in search of the manicure’s services. After they were completed she offered a ten- dollar bili, received the requisite amount of change, and took her departure. _The wedding party embarked on their spe- cial car at the appointed hour, and in course of time the conductor appeared for his fares. The society lady, when asked for her-fare, gave the conductor two silver dollars, which was part of the change received from the manicure an hour or so before. The con- ductor took one of the coins, bit it, rang it, examined it closely, and then returned it to the lady, saying: “Madam, that is not a dollar.” On examination the supposed dollar turned out to be one of those clever imitations which are made to open with a concealed spring, disclosing a place for a small photo- graph. Imagine the lady's surprise, on open- ing the imitation dollar, to find herself look- ing at the face of the young lady whom she expected to see married a few hours later. The bridegroom, hearing the exclamations of the ladies, came up, and, after some ex- planation, the prospective Benedict regained his pocket piece, which he had unwittingly left at the manicure’s establishment during the afternoon, and which had been given to the lady in change for her ten-dollar bill by the unsuspecting manicure.
