stories

Italian and Spanish,
and Scandinavian, and
into strange tongues where
no other American author, except
Fenlmore Cooper, had ever before
penetrated. His weird psychologic
studies have influenced later writers
fts unlike as Maupassant and Riche
pin, Fitzjames, O’Brien, Robert Louis
Stevenson, and Rudyard Kipling. His
tales' of a mystery solved at last by
observation and deduction have been
imitated by Dumas and Sardou, by
Gaboriau and Boisgobey, by Wilkie
Collins and Conan Doyle. And Sher

century, is the reincarnation of a fig

DEAD fVIAN SANQ AT FUNERAL
Pietro Ficco, Amateur Musician, Left
Phonograph Records to Be Used
at His Obsequies.
We hear now and then of a man
reading his own obituary in the pa
pers, but it is a rare things for a
dead man to sing at his own funeral.
Pietro Ficco, a shoemaker and ama
teur musician, had a very great fond
ness for the phonograph. He pur
chased a good many records and occa
sionally sang Into his own phono
graph and kept records of the songs.
He was taken seriously ill. He real
ized that he could not recover, and
being a poor man and unable to get
up much of a funeral he requested
that they use his phonograph to fur
nish the music for the funeral serv
ices. He picked out the “Angel’s
Serenade," and Gounod's “Ave Marla,"
sung bjt himself, and these were used
and thus the dead man took an im
portant part at his own funeral serv^
Ice. He Instructed that his phono
graph and 72 records, a number of
them his own, should be sent to his
mother In Italy.—The Christian Her
ald.
Dogs In Ecclesiastical Decorations.
The stained glass representatiop of
the “Pedler and His Dog,” to which
attention has been directed by the dis
covery of a boundary stone of “Ped
Ier’s Acre,” on the site of the new
county hall, was removed from Lam
beth church a quarter of a century
ago owing to the alleged incongruity
of introducing the figure of a dog in a
church window. Quite recently Chan,
cellor Prescott of Carlisle refused a
faculty for a stained glass window in
a Westmoreland church because the
design included a dog; and perhaps
the only existing examples of dogs
used for ecclesiastical decorations are
to be found In Lord Brownlow’s pri
vate chapel at Ashbrldge. In this
church one stained glass window de
picts Tobias and Sara in bed and a
dog sleeping on the quilt, while in an
other window Job is shown being
mocked by three men, one of whom is
holding a dog by a chain.—Westmin
ster Gazette.
Facing Death.
Why should we consent even to the
semblance of lack of courage In our
pagan trappings of woe at every
death? We may grieve that we are
left behind; that a ootnrade whose
face and voice and interpretation of
life make half our Joy should pass
beyond our grasp. But if we believe
that, death is going to justify itself
as life has justified itself, there is
no right or reason "in emphasizing
grief. We were made to go onward.
There is no permanent stoppage in the
great processional pageant passing
from one eternity on to another. And
when we are forced to wave “farewell"
to one who goes beyond our sight, let
It be courageously and with a solemn
gladness. “There Is nothing to be com
miserated,” writes the good, gray poet
to one about to die. “I do not com
miserate—I congratulate you.”—Lou
ise Collier Willcox, in Harper's Bazar.
For a Sick Little Girl.
Give an Invalid child a set of doll
dishes for her own tray. As there are
plenty of these sufficiently large to
hold all that the patient Is allowed to
eat the “cuteness” and novelty of
using the little dishes will stimulate
the feeble appetite and tempt her to
eat the food that would otherwise re
main untasted.
Choose a gay red and gold decora
tion and let her have her milk or cam
bric tea in the little teapot of the set.
On these dishes serve her a squab,
roasted and stuffed, for her little
Christmas turkey, and It will be eaten.
Lease of a Tree.
