John E V. ade. the well-known
baritoue, was ul the Columbia with UhI-
lenand Hart New Later On " Mr
McWade, it will le remembered, is tile
singer who popularized "Comrades," but
he is a nice fellow in spite of that He
and his little family have a delightful
home at Mount Vernon, near New York
city. During the summer Mr. McWade
sang in li'ht opera iu Milwaukee, and in
every production, whether the scene was
laid iu Venice nr Japan, the audience
howled for "Comrades" until John
sleplied to the footlights, winked at the
leader of the orchestra and proceeded to
ren.U.r t-hat venerable ballad u he ouly
can render it
When here he and his wife stopped at
the Wimlnor hotel. Earlv one uiornitig
Chief Clerk .latter received a message
saying that liuntone McWndo was want
ed at the public telephone station, where
a party in Milwaukee desired to hold
converse witn huu. Mr. Jasper carried
the message to the McWade parlors in
person
The baritone was Indulging in hi?
morning nap or beauty sleep, when he
learned vvhai was wanted He Inwiily
arose, donbed his clothes and rushed
over to the telephone station, where he
entered the long distance tolephono box
and took np the receiver.
"Ilello!" he shouted, "is that Mil
waukee?"
"Yes," came the answer, faint bi.i
clear. "Is that John McWade?"
"It is." replied the singer. "Who i:
that?"
"I'm Billy Crosby, from Chicago,"
"Hello. Billyt what are you dci'ig t,1
there?"
"Had to run tip here on business In !
night. Say. John, 1 want you to do me
a favor, if you wilL"
"With pleasure. What is it?"
"Just sing me the first verse and
chorus of 'Comrades,' will you?"
"Well, I'll be ."said McWade half
to himself and the other half to Crosby
in Milwaukee.
"Go ahead, John. I've paid the tolls,
rd rive five dollars to hear Comrades
now. If vou'U sing I'll open a small
bottle when 1 meet you tomorrow."
"All right; here goes," replied Mo
Wade with a laugh, and he started in
on "Comrades." singing it as he never
sang it before. One of the messenger
boys tiptoed over aud quietly opened the
door of the long distance box.
Then the whole fore of the office
knocked off work and drank In the
uperb melody as it rolled from the bari
tone's lungs to Milwaukee by wire, Aa
he wound np the song with a high note
he heard Crosby say. "Walt a minute.
John." Then he plainly beard the Mil
waukee receiver drop aud Crosby clap
his bands vigorously in front of the
transmitter. It was genuine applause
from ninety miles' away, and it sounded
as sweetly to the singer as though it had
been the roar of a vast audience.
"Thanks, John, That was great The
bottle goes. Tell Clayton to put it on
ir now." came the faint voice. "Good

"Goodby ." said John, and he chuckled

Theelfects umi animals of a change
tn thecouditionsof their life is a favorite
topic among toologists. who find that
nearly evwy species of animals existed
in some other than Us present form at
some previous ejnieli of the world. The
whale, for instance, was once a land ani
mal Forced to take water for a living,
he became in time much more like a fish
tn shaM than like a laud animal
According to a Tasmanian paxr a
in.HhhYatioii of the form of a familiar
European animal is going on In the
Australian world under the eye of the
people there
The Australian rabbit imported from
England, is acquiring nails on his feel
ami learning to rliuib As is well known
the rabbits ol Australia have increased
to such enormous numbers that they
have become a great pest, swarming
over the laud and devouring the farm
ers crops
In order to protect their fields the
farmers put up wire netting in place of
fences The rabbits could not gt
Ahrough these, but they presently U-gan
to burrow beneath them.
Then the farmers sank the nettings six
or eight Inches into thesoil. Thisstoped
the rabbits from getting in by digging
but they presently began to attempt to
climb over the netting.
As the result of this climbing, it Is
said, the rabbits are developing a nail in
their toes. The nail development has
been noticed in (jueuusland, aud still
later in Tasmania.
According to the theory of natural
selection, it is likely presently to happen
that in certain districts only those rah
bits will survive which can climb at
least a little, aud in this way a race i
climbing rabbits may be developed.-

Tli ItuMlan National Hymn,
The great part which the Russian na
tlonal hymn has played in western Eu
rojie since the French fraternization with
Russia has started much inquiry about
its origin According to the Frank
furter Zeitung, the hymn is not yet sixty
years old, and was first used for its pres
ent purpose under Czar Nicholas. When
he made his tour in Prussia and Austria,
in the year 18113, be was accompanied by
AUJUiaui ueuerni aidihj ,. wiuiukiiiku
Luoff, a passionate violinls'j aud a com
poser of some skill. The czar was im
pressed by the fact that every regimental
band in Berlin and Vienna greetea mm
by playing the national hymn of their
own country, and this was apologized for
by the known absence of any recognized
national hymn in the great empire which
be ruled.
Nicholas waa much Impressed by the
deficiency, and during his return jour
ney toward St Petersburg bad much
talk with Luoff upon the subject, and at
last ordered him to compose a hymn for
the Russian military bands. Luoff here
upon aet music to Bchulowsky'a "God
Be the Cear'e Protector." The Bchulow-sky-Luoff
hymn waa first played pub
licly before tha czar ou Nov. 28, 1833.
and so pleased the sovereign that by a
nkase of Deo, 4 of the tame year ha or
dered it to be adopted as the national
hvmn of Russia. Luoff was not only re
warded by the gift of a gold snuff box
set with diamonds, but permission waa
given to him and his heirs to adopt the

Her Pint News.
Among the uninjured passengers in
the Raveuna disaster was a young man,
a New Yorker, who had been ou a visit
to a maiden aunt living in a western
city. She waa a devout Christian, and
liad been much coucerned over certain
worldly tendencies in this her favorite
nephew. On the day of hisdoparture
she had esiiecially pleaded with him to
renounce the mammon of unrighteous
ness, alternating her prayors with ner
vous fears over his coming journey.
When the young man got out of his
; i
;ar after the collision, consiuerauiy
bruned and shaken up, he realized his
aunt s ansiety if she should read of the
accident, and rushing to the telegraph
oflice wired her the emotional message.
Thank God, I'm saved."
The dispatch was received before any
tidings came of the casualty, aud the
gentlo soul supposed that her nephew
had suddenly came to a realizing sense
of his spiritual condition, and much re-
Ioieed thereat she wrote a long letter or
grateful congratulation to him, and told
the happy news to nor nuie coiene or
intimaies before she discovered her seri

Among the conveniences, almost ne

housewife, are pieces of blotting paper,
a bottle of iodide of potash and a solu

because 1 read iu the paper today that
after the passage of an electric storm a
good doal of ozone Is left sneaking around
behind the stove, in the cellarway, up in
the garret and so ua With the articles
mentioned lyiug handy on the pantry
shelf, all ono has to do to detect this
ozone is to make a compound of the
