HIS FAVORITE ROLE.

Among my dearest memories of Italy ia that of the evenings I used to spend in Venice trith the Cavalier Gioogua, mm lie was known upon the stage. We •minlly sat in the garden of the Osteria vntil late into the night—sometimes tete-a-tete, sometimes in the oompany «f old Captain AmatL

By the garden of tbe Osteria ooe is not to anducst&nd anything like that -wlilEfh the nam^ used elsewhere, might imply. It was simply a small ooortyard about 12 feet square and was paved with slabs of marble. Pour high Walls inclosed it like a funnel, and from thre* of these the oourt was overlooked It -windows and balconies which, as a rale, were festooned with grimy washings. But, unless me chose, be need see nothing of this, for above our table—there was space for only one—-the branches of a noble vine interlaced to form a thick screen of foliage.

Thus one could sit here quite cool and comfortable, and, wbeu the moon came up over tbe tall chimney tops and its Mirer lines threaded the dense mass of leaves and tendrils and dallied with the bottle of dark Trentiuo which stood on tbe mottled marble before us, this very garden became a little world full of poetry. Them was the place wtll suited to tbe tales of tho Cavalier Oioogna.

In his jokes, anecdotes and stories, the Italy of the robbers Mid romantic wars, the Italy of the Austrian occupation and of secret conspiracies, tbe Italy -of Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel, not least of all—for Cavalier CSoogna had been one of the most distinguished impersonators of Doctor Bartolo and Dom Pasquale—the Italy of Rossini and Donizetti Here tbe old man told us the story of 8igno« Oampobassi. concerning which he declared somewhat violently, as was hi? -wont, that the Madonna might withdrs ter favor from him if every word were not the truth. Tbe story which he h- I tpld us repeatedly, as was his oustom, can as follows: "Are you familiar with Parli? No. Well, it does not lie on the regular route of tourists, and I am not surprised that you are not acquainted with it. But you know it by name, captain, do joa not? And you have no doubt beard

Signor Campobassi—but only casually, eh? 1 knew him welL I have sat with him over Refosco as we sit here over this Treotino. He was a very agreeable oomrade, and it grieved us all to lose him. Tbs ladies adored him, for be was a slender, finely formed fellow, with the most beautiful eyes in tbe world and a mustaohe—as if the Madonna herself had meant him for a tenor. We men liked him because we had in trim a truo friend, and one who always •feood ready to help with his purse or bia dogger, and who had no traoe of haughtiness about him, although he wag flw favorite of the publio. fie was one of those exceptional men who have not aon enemy. "But I forgot. Parli is In tho vicinity of Rome, at the foot of the Abruzzi mountains, a small but rich and very flourishing town. It was in the fifties that I went thither with a newly formed •company. "Parli had a very spacious new theater. Wo pleased the public, did a thriving business and accordingly wdre well suited to stay there. But it was oui primo tenoro, Sign ore Campobassi, who mwakened the most interest. Our impresario smiled contentedly whenevex ha chanced to mention kiia, and said, with a knowing look, 'That was the best hit I ever made.' I can still remember well to what straits ho had been pot for a tenor. He refused to lay out much monev for one, and tenors, as a rule, are high in thoir prioes. Then one day, as we were sitting in the cafe, Cauipobassi appeared, inquired for the -director and asked him to try his voiceHe said ho was a peasant's pon from the tseighberbood of Areggo, but even as a child ho had had such an ear for music that ho know by heart all tlio airs he bad ever heard. It was the opinion among his acquaintances that be could dug finely, and so he bad thought that be might make his fortune in the opera. How, he had heard that Signor Mario was looking for a tenor, and so he had made haste hither to offer himself. "Our impresario was conning fox and shook his head gravely at this. 'It would be a great deal of trouble to ooach jtm,' lie said But Oampobassi replied that on this aooount he would be content with a very small salary. "Signor Mario still shook his head, but he took up his glass, contemplated fbr awhile ue dissolving bits of ioe and finally drank the remainder of his ^granito' with an air of decision. 'Well, we will try it,' said he. Xkrileague* if you have any desire to be present at the rvihcarsal, follow me.1 •*Wo were all curious enough, so WO started for the theater in spite of tho midday heat There Campobassi sang a conpte of airs from the most familiar operas, and the more he sang the. more a%nificantly did Mario wink at u& His 4fm± round face iiuriy shone and glowed for joy. Never |T kiss at the end be said sathcc coolly, 'You will rank* us much work, Campobassi, bat I will give yoa a trial' "As a matter of fact, the troable he made us was very alight. He had such extraordinary musical ear that he retolned the most difficult passages if they had been song before him only ma correctly. In addition, he had a natural facility for acting so that he was leas awkward than many tenors of lontt experience. It is true his performances lacked artistic finish, but the crudities in his tanging were atoned for br the Btnpeadoo* •material,' a voice

We were Sitting tbe arcades of the Piazza dei S:gnari, drinking oar ooffee. We had been chatting about everything possible and impossible, and one of at last turned the conversation to the subject of favorite roles. Each one named his own—I, Dr. Bartolo Pbdroochi, Rigoletta Mario said Jokingly that his favorite opera was the on* in which he had least to da Campoba*si was silent "At length we pressed him to confess his own preferences, bat he shrugged his shoulders and replied, laughing: 'My favorite role? That is probably my own secret' 'No secrets among the colleagues,' grumbled Pedroochi. 'No secrets?' was Campobassi's answer. 'Well, perhaps I will play you my favorite role tonight' 'Oh, the Trovatorel* we exolaimed, for we were to bring out tbe opera on that day for the first time in Parli. Oampobassi shrugged his shouldr and we broke off the conversation at thip point, as oar prima donna oaxne toward us under the arcades. "On the evening of the same day the Trovatore* was placed on the boards. All that Parli possessed of aristocracy and distinction was present at the theater that night Not a seat was vacant The great expectations which were cherished ooooerning Campobassi's performance were not disappointed. Here he oould give himself free rein, and his voioe rang through the house not like a tenor—no, like a choir of tenors. The applause wcnld not oease, and Campobassi was called out repeatedly. "At last tame the 'Stretta.' Now the andienoe would sorely be thrown into eostasies, and we had not deoeived ourselves. Wrsath after wreath was flung from the boxes, all the people stamped their feet, olapped and oried 'Viva!' and 'Da Capo!' Finally Oampobassi, smiling, made a gesture to signify that he would repeat the 'Stretta.' The storm was laid, and it grew suddenly so still in the theater that one oould have heard the buzzing of a fly. We all stood there behind the scenes and beheld Campobassi step forward to the footlights, a departure Irom oustom which did not strike us oddly, for tenors are allowed many liberties. "But what was that? He was saying something in an undertone to the orohestra, and the musicians, who had already began the opening bars, broke off in their playing. Instead of tbe notes of the 'Stretta' we heard Campobassi speak—speak words whioh made the blood *iffen iu our veins, whioh threw such a spell ovor us that we were unable to stir from the spot long after Campobassi bad finished his speech. "I oan remember it as vividly as if it bad all happened yesterday. 'Honored patrons and citizens of Parli,' he began —and probably at this point he mad3 one of his ornsummately graceful bows —'I thank you for the affection you have fhown for me, the more sinoe thJ* is' my farewell appearance. After tonight you will, I fear, bardly care to hear me again. I beg you will all remain quietly in your seats, for then, upon my honor, not a hair of any one'R head shall b" molested. Any movement can only lead to mischief, for my men are patrolling the corridors and all the exits are guarded. Nor can help come to you from tho direction of the stag", for the enlarged chorus which has tonight sung so valiantly consists, for tho most part, of my own people, and they also are well furnished with weapons. I am, honored patrons, the Fra Angel whose name is oertainly well known to you. I, too, am armed, as you see, and these pistols are well loaded. But f^r be it from me to inflict any injury upon you who have shown me

much con

sideration—my word for that At this very moment a member of the chorus has already taken our honored impresario in charge. That I shall not exaot tribute of my colleagues you will naturally infer. On tho other hand, honored patrons, I have often provided entertainment for you, and it is on that aooount justifiable that I should require some reoompense from you, more especially sinoe our impresario has paid me an honorarium whioh my sense ol gharri Yrili not permit me to name. So have the kindness, good people, to de liver your watches, rings, chains, purees and the like with all alacrity to those who will now pass from seat to seat The exits are guarded, as I have remarked, and the more generously and quietly you perform your part the quioker will this business be accomplished. In the meantime I will ask the orchestra to play some favorite airs, which may serve as an agreeable distraction for those who have discharged their obligations.' "In truth, the orchestra did commence to play, and, as wo learned later, everything passed off as Fra Angelo had wished. As a matter of fact, all his threats had been superfluous, for the name of tbe famous bandit had alone suffioed to render every one helpless. "Fra Angelo supervised the entire transaction from tbe stage, said a few words of thanks when it was ended, then turned toward the flies. As be passed us he clapped me laughingly on I he shoulder and said, 'Did I not tell foa, Ckiogna, that I aboold play my favorite role tonight?* "With that he vanished, land we rushed terrified oat into tbe open air. The andienoe streamed out at the doom In unwonted haste, and the first among them had already summoned the guardiassof tbe so called public safety. A few moments later the signals of tbe oazabinieri sounded through tbe street* of the town, bat of Fra Angelo and hi men not a traoe was to be found. 'VFrom the German For Short Stories.

It is iiiKmisfi&]gH to not* with what English traveler* on the continent English habitat however unsuited they may be to their surroundings. Under the broiling son of Italy dr'Spaifi We find English travelers firing far a grilled steak or roast beef. Of course the steak is tough, tasteless -and indigestible, the "rosbif" raw in the center, though burned outside, nasty in flavor and leathery in substance, thus constituting tbe most unsuitable article of diet that oould be taken under the circumstances. Then the Englishman will pay Is. 8d. for a 4d. bottle of English ale, which is far too heavy and alooholio for the climate, instead of drinking tbe pure wine of the oountry that is supplied without stint and gratuitously at all meals. These British peculiarities have done much to destroy tbe advantages of foreign travel and to render the better known hotels, which are frequented by English families, as expensive as the hotels in England.

The experienced continental traveler, who has learned to do at Rome as the Romans do very carefully avoids tbe hotels frequented by the English. He is consequently treated with much greater civility, is fed on dishes whioh the natives know how to cook and which the experience of centuries has proved to be better suited to the climate and economises something like 60 per cent on the cost of living. On the other hand, he may have to oontent himself with a very small washing basin—the introduction of English habits in the matter of personal ablution is much needed—end the drainage of the hotels may leave much to be desired. Nevertheless, even in this last particular improvements are being effected every day.—London Lancet $

Ballrowb and Gardening.

In England the Great Western and the Midland offer sums of money annually to encourage platform gardens. In the case of the former oompany a regular system has been in operation for 18 years, £260 being voted annually for the purpose. The line is divided into 12 sections. To each a special prize of £6 is awarded, and there are 165 ordinary prizes, ranging from £8 to 10 shillings, a list of the successful stations being published each year. A circular is also sent round furnishing a oomplete list of plants suitable for various purposes—for permanent borders, for summer bedding, for mixed borders of hardy plants, for spring bedding, as well as a list of evergreens and cree rs, together with particulars as to height, color, dates for sowing and many other necessary hints.

The Midland railway devotes £200 in the same way, tbe prizes ranging from £7 10s. to 6 shillings. A fully qualified inspector, whose duties take him to every part of the line, is deputed to deal with the matter, and the whole scheme is pronounced a success. The Great Northern and the London and Northwestern companies let allotments to their men where possible, the number of allotments in the case of tho former company reaching very nearly 2,600.—Quarterly Review.

Uninflammable Petroleunai

In regard to the efforts whioh have been made to render petroleum uninflammable, Le Revue Industrielle says that if to 260 gallons of petroleum there be added 660 pounds of oommon salt, and the mixture be heated to 100 degrees O., there will be oollected about 60 gallons of volatile and easily inflammable hydrocarbons, known as benzines the remaining petroleum is no longer inflammable below 100 degrees O., and, as it contains chloride of calcium, bromide of magnesium, and sulphate of magnesia, its illuminating power is increased. To these 190 gallons of petroleum that have undergone distillation there are added 876 gallons of crude petroleum, this mixture being heated for one hour at 100 degrees C. and afterward allowed to cool to 40 degrees. The 60 gallons of benzine that were previously separated are at this stage added and the whole is again heated up to about 86 degrees. According to the method thus explained, the fuel thereby resulting will be uninflammable below 76 degrees.

Lord Palmerston'a Joke.

Mr. H. W. Lucy relates tbe following anecdote relating to tbe budget statement of 1861: The budget speech was preceded by a report that tbe basis of the soheme would be repeal of the tea duty. Just before Mr. Gladstone rose to make his statement, there was handed to Lord Palmerston on the treasury bench the following note from Lord Derby: "My dear Pam—What is to be the ^reat proposal tonight? Is it to be 'tea and turnout?* "My dear Derby," wrote the premier in reply, "it ia not tea and turn out' It is to be'paper and stationery.' "—-St James Gaaetta

One's First Salmon Is an Irmt One's first salmon is an e^rent. I got mine all alon& It was on the Dungarvon, on my way into the more remote interior. In a clear pool we oould see tbe green backs of the fish, big and Hi# tie, but they were not after oar flies. The others went up the stream a considerable distance, and I remained by the pool. It needs two men to land a salmon. Presently I began idly casting, just to try my new 18 foot rod, and the first thing (knew a fish was hooked. He galloped around that pool, jumping out, darting back and forth, and I waded right in. After awhile I got him pretty tired. I had no landing net or gaff, but there was a smooth gravel bar 40 rods below. Then I tow^i the unfortunate fish down there, got him headed for shore and ran straight back on the bar.' Out he came, flopping somersaults on the gravel. The gut leader broke, but I threw myself on top of that salmon and clasped my arms around him. He was slippery and strong, and I oould not hold him. Finally I got my fingers in his gills, reached for a stone and gave him three or four merciless whacks over the head. Then I had him.

Weight Defora and Altar Meals." Why is it that a man does not weigh a pound more after eating a pound of food than he did before? A little reflection will readily explain this apparent mystery. During the prooess of mastication, deglutition, eta, certain muscles are brought into active play. Now it is a well established fact in physiology that the exercise of any muscle or set of muscles necessitates a temporary waste of tissue, and that a certain amount of carbon is eliminated and passed off during the course of a meal. This loss, however, is trifling as compared with (hat of respiration and perspiration, both of which functions are increased during the operation of making a meal.

The length of time one may take to consume a pound of food makes but little difference in the losses. If it be eaten leisurely there is but slight increase of respiration or perspiration, whereas, if it be hurried through, both are abnormally accelerated. Hence by the time the meal is finished the consumer has lost appreciably in both moisture and oarbonio acid.

The above explains, in a rough but clear manner, wby it is that a man may eat a pound of food and yet not weigh but from one-third to five-eighths of a pound more than he did before the meaL —St. Louis Republio.

The Prince's Cast Off Clothing. k" As the Prince of Wales has set the pace in matters of fashion for many years past it is something of interest to know how bis purchases are made. According to one of the British papers the prince never orders less than eight suits of clothes at a time, for each of whioh he pays the uniform price of $40. He never wears a pair of trousers more than four times, and since his valet does not fall heir to his wardrobe and as his discarded clothes are not among the perquisites of his valet, there is a stock of thousands of them at Marlborough house. At his death he will doubtless have as large a collection as did King George IV, the auction of whose clothes extended through three weeks. All the prince's clothes, old and new—except his hats, which for some reason are kept at Sandringham—are stored at Marlborough house in what is known as the "brushing rooms," where several men are kept buoy looking after them. The uniforms and state robes alone at Marlborough house are insured for $20,000, so that his entire wardrobe must represent a very comfortable fortune.

Costly Watch.

While in Geneva some months ago,'' writes a correspondent, "I visited the principal watch works there and as a matter of curiosity asked the manager what was the highest priced watch that was made in Geneva. He said that the most expensive watch turned out in Switzerland was worth £140. "This watch had a split second hand and struck the hours if needed. It also had in it a tiny musical box which played three distinct tunes. This watch, he said, was the finest that could be made, although one ornamented with diamonds or with gems worked into the flMw would of coarse ran the price up into as many thousands as the purchaser desired. "He said there had been one watch made in his establishment the cases of trhich had been studded with diamonds, and which had cost £8,400, but so far as the watch itself was concerned it was worth Weekly.

During a storm all three blades «of the propeller broke at the welding, reducing the diameter by more than two-thirds. To the surprise of the captain the vessel shot forward at a speed such as had never been attained before.
