Classified Adv. Department The Outlook 381 Fourth Avenue A By the Way NCIENT cities become lost to view not only when they are buried by volcanic eruptions, as with Pompeii, but by the ordinary deposit of falling dust. At least this would seem to be the case, judging from revelations made during the excavation of the cloisters of an old London church, as reported in an English paper: "In excavating these cloisters," says Mr. E. A. Webb, the archæologist who conducted the work, "we had to remove about seven feet of earth from the floor. This depth of earth was partly due to the fact that London increases a foot in every one hundred years, through falling dust and other causes. In the city of London many of the old buildings have sunk from sixteen to eighteen feet below the surface since the Reformation; Bow Church is sixteen to eighteen feet below the surface of the road." 'The two-dollar bill, it is reported, has been omitted from the new designs for United States bank notes. There is a prejudice against this bill because of the possibility of its being mistaken for a dollar bill. A two-dollar bill is therefore rapidly passed on, and it is said that its life is only about six months, when it goes back to the Treasury soiled and unkempt, with frequently one corner torn off. The mutilation is supposed to be due to the superstitious belief among those who play games of chance that tearing off a corner removes the "jinx" associated with the bill. From the Washington "Star:" "How can you say such cruel things of your antagonist in debate?" she inquired reproachfully of the statesman. "Oh," was the reply, "that's easy enough. I keep a scrap-book, and when my own ideas give out I go to that." The present whaling season on the British Columbia coast has been the most successful for several years, according to "American Shipping." The total catch for only four months was 377 whales! How long can the species survive this wholesale destruction? The old-fashioned whaler took three or four years to get his cargo of oil and whalebone. His prey often escaped. But the modern steam whaling vessel with its guns and bombs means sure death to the great mammals that are sighted and possibly extinction of the species. A farmer reports to the "Rural New Yorker" that a shepherd dog, five months old, is the brightest thing he ever had on his farm. "After the pup had been following my son out to get the milking cows at night," he says, "he performed the following practical piece of work. He ran out to the cows, headed them for home, drove them to the watering trough in the yard, gave them time to drink, then drove them into the barn and saw to it that each one went into its own stall and stanchion. Then the pup came and drove some brood sows into their sleeping pen. He then went to the boy, wagging his tail as if to say, 'What a good boy am I!'" From the "Pennsylvania Punch Bowl:" The Girl "Meet me to-morrow night at the same place at seven o'clock." The Boy-"All right. What time will you be there?" W. H. Hudson, in "Hampshire Days," tells of a weasel's capture of a vole, in discussing the question whether birds and rabbits are "fascinated" by weasels. The vole, he says, had a very odd look when its enemy appeared. "Instead of a smooth-haired little mouse-like creature running smoothly and swiftly over the bare ground, he was all hunched up, his hair standing on end like bristles, and he moved in a series of heavy painful hops. ... A grip, a little futile squeal, and all was over." Mr. Hudson startled the weasel, and it dropped its prey. It came back several times, was each time driven away, and then began uttering sounds low, soft, musical, and very sad, until, the naturalist says, "he quite melted my heart, and I turned away, leaving him to his vole, feeling as much ashamed of myself as if I had teased a pretty bright-eyed little child by keeping his cake or apple until I had made him cry." From "Life:" Fair shopper to grocer: "Can you tell me if there are any vitamines in lettuce?" "Well, mum, there's bound to be a few insecks on most garden truck, but there ain't no reason in the world why you can't wash 'em off, if you've a mind to." The local items of the country newspaper often furnish entertaining reading. Here is one (from the Benton, Arkansas, "Courier") which supplies us with a new verb: "Jim Harris and wife all-nighted with his mother, Mrs. Delilah Harris, one night last week." From the Springfield (Missouri) "Leader:" A woman is as old as she feels, and how she feels depends largely on what other folks think of her looks.

Vesti la Giubba-I Pagliacci This number is the most popular song of this opera. Soldiers' Chorus-Faust "The Soldiers' Chorus," together with the "Anvil Chorus" from "Il Trovatore" (which we have also recorded) are beyond question the two greatest concerted male pieces in all opera. Caro Nome-Rigoletto "Caro Nome," which means "Dearest Name," is the leading soprano aria from "Rigoletto." Medley-Mikado One cannot pick a particular air from the "Mikado" as being better than the others. So, in this medley, we record snatches from them all.
