The Regular Routine 0! tn 9 Every Day Life of the Great Diva—Ho. 1: She Enter- tain: Her Guests—The Love She Ins p1res from Servants. 3 Patti’s beautiful castle, .with its sixty-five rooms, is situated in a pic- turesque spot among the Welsh moun- tains, 'in South Wales. It has been brought to a state of perfection, and so far as earthly possessions go’is all one could desire. The outside attractions me no less perfect, with gardens, couse1vat01'ics and hothouses, where one can pick strawberries, a pear or a bunch of grapes any day in the year; the stables with superb horses and carriages; the dog kennels, with the rarest breeds in the canine world; the beautiful lake. with its rowboats, and the fishing .istream, where Nicolini enjoys keenest sport. The regular routine of the home life of the great diva is so well ordered that it is rarely varied. She neverdrives on Sunday, believing that the coach- men and the stablemen should have a day With their families to rest or at- tend ,one of two churches—English and Welsh, supported by her. , Patti entertains her guests royally. From the moment one leaves the sta- if the in evidence. On reaching Neath, twen- '."ty miles from the castle, a transfer is made from the main line to a narrow gauge road. A telegram has notified the officials that her guests are expect- ed, and every employe becomes obse- quious at once. On reaching Penwyllt station, carriages and liveried coach- men and footmen are in waiting, and the beautiful drive of threemiles be- gins, winding up and toward the eas- tle, through magnificent scenery. On each side of the main entrance are stationed ten men in livery—the upper house Servants. Passing through this line into the spacious ,hall, the guests are most cordially received by? Mme. Patti. If the arrival is at 5 o’clock, as it 1s" usually arranged to be, tea is imme-: diately served in the summer garden? which is a beautiful room,,inclosed in' glass, encircled with flowers and palms, and which adjoins the conser- vatories. 3 An automatic piano plays during the Service of this dainty repast. The. guests are then at .liberty to enjoy themselves to their liking till the din- ner hour at 8 o’clock, when every one appears in full dress. Patti is always,l magnificently attired, and sparkling with gems. Only on state occasions is dinner served in ”the elegantly appoint- ed dining-room, Patti generally pre- fers the summer garden, with its flow- ers and music. After this sumptuous meal every one goes to the music-room. Here the larg- est automatic orchestral instrument in the world plays all the operas in whichI Patti has sung. Oftentimes Nicolini plays on one of his priceless violins or some visiting artist contributes to the musical hour. On rare occasions Patti’s divine voice is heard in some simple melody. She is especially fond of neg'ro songs, and when she sings “Massa’s in the Cold, Cold Ground” every eye is suffused with tears. At 12 o’clock Patti gives the signal for retiring, and on reaching her room touches a bell, which notifies all the. servants that they are to retire, andé only the watchman is thereafter alert! In every corridor a maid is stationed to obey the slightest wish of the‘ guests. Befo1e retiring she asks thel visitors when and how their light breakfast shall be served. The menu? includes every luxury, and one’s meal‘ can be ordered the same as when in a hotel. Patti attends to her voluminous cor- respondence in the early morning, not appearing till the regular breakfast hour—1 o’clock—when a rare and deli- cate feast is spread.‘ Perfect liberty of enjoyment is ac-V :‘oided to every visitor, driving, row- lag, tennis, billiards and bowling be- . 1:, among the recreations enjoyed.

A LIGHrHo‘uss INCIDENT. Abby Burgess Saved Her Precious Chick- ens from the Waves. Gusave Kobbé writes a paper 0!!- I“Heroism in the Lighthouse Service," Vior the Century. Mr. Kobbé says sev- eral of the violent storms that have whirled over the Mantinicus Rock have tried the fortitude of the little band of faithful watchers upon it. One of these watchers, Abby Burgess, has become famous in our lighthouse an- nals, not only for long service, but also for bravery displayed on various occa- sions. Her father was keeper of the rock from 1853 to 1861. In January, 18.36, when she was 17 years old he left her in charge of the lights while he crossed to Matinicus Island. His wife was an invalid, his son was al- ways on a cruise, and his other four children were little girls. The follow- ing day it began to “breeze up;” the wind increased to a. gale, and soon de veloped into a storm almost as furious as that which carried away the tower on Mihot’s Ledge in 1851. Before long the seas'were sweeping over the rock. Down among the boulders was a chicken-coop which Abby feared might be carried away. On a lonely ocean outpost like Mantinicus Rock a chicken is regarded with affectionate interest, and Abby, solicitous for the safety of the inmates of the little coop, waited her chance, and when the seas fell off a little rushed knee-deep through the swirling water; and res- cued all but one of the chickens; She had hardly closed the .door of the dwelling behind her when a sea, breaking over a rock. brought down the old cobble-stone house with a crash. While the storm was at its height the waves threatened the gran- ite'dwelling, so that the family had to take refuge in the towers for safety; and here they remained, with no sound to greet them from without but the roaring of the wind around the lan- terns, and no sight but the sea sheet- ing over the rock. Yet through it all the lamps were trimmed and lighted. Even after the storm had abated, the reach between the rock and )Iatinicus Isiand was so rough that Captain Bur- gess could not return until four weeks later. BABY, FONDLED BLACK SNAKES. “God Save My Baby!” Cried the Mother, \Vho Finally Killed the Reptiles. Mrs. Amos Hammond, a farmer’s wife, living near Vandale, found her two-year-old daughter fondling two large, live blacksnakes yesterday. The child had slipped away from the house, and not answering her mother's call, she went in search for her. Mrs. Hammond approached a clump of al- ders about one hundred feet from the house, where a spring is located, and as she looked through the alder bushes she saw"her little girl seated by the side of the spring, and heard her laugh gleefully and say: “Pretty, pretty.” Creeping closer Mrs. Hammond saw [the little girl stroke something. Then she saw a monstrous black water snake lying with its body in the spring and its head and neck in the child’s lap. The little girl was stroking the black head and laughing. A second blacksnnak-e slowly circled about the child. “ 'God save my baby!” screamed Mrs. Hammond. Then the mother, with faltering limbs, ran to the house, and in a minute’s time returned with a double barrelled shot gun, into which she had slipped tw0 shells. When she returned the rep-tiles had left the child, and were rolling and tumbling in the path several feet from the little girl. The mother fired both barrels at the- writhing serpents, blowing their heads to atoms. Then she seized her child to herbreast. ran into the house and fainted. Skill of a Kentucky Engraver.

The Rev Law is Driving the thirst Classes of lion-chums}~ to Citizenship. The so-called “alien tax law” went into effect in Pennsylvania on Juiy'l. Its chief requirement is that every em- plOYer ofan .unnaturaiized male for- eigner upward of twenty-one years of age must report the number of aliens he employs and be 'acountable for the tax, whichis three cents per-day each. This tax is paid to the County Treas— urer. Failure to so report aliens is made a ’misdemeanor, punishableby a fine of not less than $200 or more than $1, 000. The enactment of the'new law is luS- tified' on the ground that the unnature alized aliens contribute more than their just share to the police expenses in several districts of the State. As the Philadelphia Times puts the case. “the law is intended to make some small measure of restitution to the peo- ple of the county where such popula- tions exist for the .enormousily in- creased expenses, imposed upon them to maintain their courts, prisons and olmshouses.” The tax is designed al- so to establisha discrimination between citizen and alien- mechanics for the benefit of the former, and to impose a penalty ripen employers for utilizing the labor which the Harrisburg Legis- lature regarded as the cheapest avail- able. Theoretically the purpose of the Allen Tax law is to preclude employers, by a. prscribed penalty, from- getting the aid of such aliens,Vto establish a bar to their immigration: into Pennsyl- vania, and to add to the demand for na- tiVe born and naturalized labor. The unnaturalized foreign” born who are eligible to citizenship, and who before had neglected tb take out their naturalization papers, have been be- stirring themselves to escape payment of the three-cent tax by becoming nat- uralized. ' The courts in Pennsylvania having the power of naturalization have been crowded with illiterate and uncouth applicants «for the boon of American citizenship. In one branch of the court in Philadelphia as many as 172 new citizens were “made” in one day. Some of the applicants had been res- ident in the State for ten or fifteen .years Without having had before the wish to acquire citizenship. Some an- swered with difficulty the queries pro- pounded by the judges. In Lehigh county, for instance, a Hungarian ap- plicant, on being questioned by the Judge as to his qualifications for cits lzenship and his ability to prepare a ticket for voting, replied very confl- dently that “he could —vote all right the ticket.” Judges with a strictly conscientious regard for the responsi- bilities of citizenship rejected some of the most objectionable applicants; but many additions were made to the al- ready too great horde of depraved, cor— ' rupt, .and irresponsible Pennsylvania electors, citizens unfamiliar with the political institutions of the republic, indifferent to the obligations of citi- zenship, and totally ignorant of the language in which the laws they swear to observe are written. The consequence of the new Alien Tax law has been an abnormal and dangerous increase in the number of undesirable citizens, to the great in- 1ury Of communities where before these aliens, having no political power, had been incapable of doing political harm; and the benefits which were expected to be reaped by means of the tax are being evaded through the device of a naturalization, which is not spontan- eous, but compulsory. Thus a grave avil‘has been engendered to destroy a minor 3 disadvantage." One \Vay of Smuggling Diamonds. “All this talk abOut smuggling re- - :alls some of the things I learned when [ was in the service,” announced a re- tired crook catcher the other day. “New ways of beating the Government are 'being devised right along, and many of the tricks I discovered are old now. There used to be more trouble with the diamond smugglers than there appears to be at present. I have found the sparklers in women’s back hair, hat ornaments, hollowed shoe heels, and sewed up in various articles of wear; in dog collars, in horses' boots, in fruits and vegetables, in trunks with false bottoms, in pipes and :igars, in canes, on the necks of carrier pigeons, and even buried in men’s! flesh after the manner of the Kafllr diamond thieves. “But the man who _did the slickest business, without ever being suspected, :old me about it afterwards. .He was a retired» detective, who had served with great credit. Shortly before resign- .nghe claimed to have received a beau- :iful diamond ring -with three very large stones from a New Yorker for whom he had been able to save a good- deal of money. It was certainly a. mag- nificent ring, and the matter was duly exploited in the papers. He professed .o be doing a p: ivate business that took aim across the river frequently, and he would often use the ferry three or [our times a day. He always wore the lazzling ring, and I looked at it every lay for months. Yet that fellow was making big money smuggling dia- monds. “How? Why he had a paste ring made exactly like the genuine one. He would wear the paste one over, leave it tobe set with diamonds, wear them back, have them replaced with paste, and thus" carry on the game right he- tore our admiring eyes.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS OU'RS- Gov. Hastings Can’t See the Use of Pub Itching Documents in Any other. ,paper ofilcial advertising Governor Hastings of Pennsylvania says: “The bill provides that legal advertisements published in any county of the Com- monwealth that contains, according to the last United States census, a popula- tion of over 70,000 persons, who emi- grated from Germany shall be pub- lished in one German newspaper of general circulation printed in such cOunty in addition to the publication required in newspapers printed in English." “The language of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and of the United States of America is English. The proceedinzs of our courts are conducted and the records of our courts are kept in the English language. ,I-r’recognize the fact that we have a large number of German immigrants forming a part of our population, and that they are among our most useful and industrious citizens. The German immigrants'and all others are presumably here for the purpose of becoming citizens of the United States, and it is one of the dut- citizen in all respects to conform to our laws and customs. The privilege of citizenship carries with it obligation to learn to speak, read and write the English language. This is certainly not encouraged, but rather discouraged, may be published in the German lan- guage. If, it be sound in principle that our German population may have legal advertisements published in German newspapers, then the immigrants from any other country residing with us would be entitled to publication in newspapers of their language. Nor: do [ see any good reason why the county :ontaining 70,000 persons who emi- grated from Germany should have a privilege different from that accorded to counties containing a less number, us the proportion of populous counties if the State might be greater than in :he county containing 70, 000 such per- yous. It should be noted, too, that the bill provides for publication where the aopulation is 70, 000 persons who emi- grated from Germany, whether such iersons are citizens or not. ” 1, v .‘- ON WHOM WAS THE JOKE? Three Sparrows Hatched by a Canary and 3 Taught to Sing. A practical joke that was played on a gentleman in Philadelphia early last spring resulted in something likely to puzzle the brains of several uptown naturalists. The gentleman is a great lover of birds. Last spring oneof his canary birds was busy with a nest of eggs, and he was as much excited as the mothe1 biid. As a joke a friend removed the eggs, and in their place put three of the spa1 row variety. Now, -in the course of time those eggs were hatched, and both mother bird and master were greatly bewildered at the odd-looking birdlets. The joke insome way leaked out, but as the mother bird was treating her foster children ten- derly the owner decided to let them re- main and watch the 1e81 it After the sp.11rows got a little olde1 it v as no- ticed that the canary would put them in a row and. chirp to them, after which the sparrows would try to imi- tate‘her.

In the old towns and. farms of New' Jersey. in the neighborhood of which the battle of Monmouth was fought, mam legends of interesting incidents, that took place during tl. e war, yet linger. ‘ The story is told of a slave, Mark Antony, belonging to the Wayne For- mafi' family. The negroes, with few _ exceptions sided with their rebel mis- ters in the 1evolutionary st1uggle. A party of British officers had taken possession of the Wayne Fornar. house, and ordered dinner. There was no man in the house except this old slave, hence obedience was a neces~ sity While the women were busted in kill inig chickens, baking pies, and prepar- ing dinner, the troopers amused them- selves by breaking pieces of furniture. ripping open beds with their swords, ies of the foreigner who becomes a, by providing that legal advertisements ; and doing what brutal mischief they could. ‘ Dinner was served, Mark Antony waiting respectfully, but with wrath in his heart. The meal was devoured by the men as '.if they were famished. More jelly, cheese, etc;, Were called for and produced, to be gobbled up by the ' ravenous guests, who rewarded the ~ old negro for his services by oaths and by shying plates at his head. At last one man demanded honey. “Honey, honey!” shouted the whole drunl en crew. - Old Mark’s eyes twinkled. “You shall hab honey, gemmen,” he said. and hurrying to the garden he threw a cloth over a hive of bees, carried it in and placed it on the table. Then . whisking off the cloth he ran for his ,' ' life. ' . y l The enraged bees swarmed out by hundreds, and attacked with fury the frightened men, who speedily de- ' camped, and scan after, mounting their ‘ horses, galloped away, leaving the bees and Mark Antony in possession of the field. HORSE POINTS FOR GAME. An Astonishing Feat Which He Taught Himself. Senator George Chahoon has told me that he had a pointing horse that was as reliable as a pointing dog, although» the horse pointed by sight instead of scent, says a correspondent of Forest V and Stream. It seems that .in the fall, in driving about the woods, he earric~ a gun in his buggy to shoot such part ridges as he may come across. The first time he shot over this horse the ‘ animal was badly frightened, and in stead of running, simply sat back in the breeching, crouching near the ground on his hind quarters, and trem- bled at the noise of the explosion. This became a habit, until now, no longer frightened at the sound of the gun, he appears to be on the watch for birds, and often discovers one before, his master sees it, and at once sits back in the breech'ing and comes 'to a dead stand until Senator Chahoon shoots, when the horse resumes his normal upright position and goes on till he sees another bird. I told the Senator he should call his horse a set- ter instead of a pointer, and perhaps he will accept the amendment. .1 Plain'auiling. . ' ‘ I “It seems to me,” said one young woman, “that.
