DIscoRD AMONG NUsICIAs-G. D. Aims
arrested yesterday afternoon on complaint
of l.. Vann, agent for Kohler j. Chase, San
Francisco house, charging him with disturb
ing the peace. 1t appears that Mr.. Aims
worth heard that Mr.. Vann claimed to be the
only man in town possessing license for sell
ing pianos. He accordingly called at the Re
form Club rooms where Vann has his instrU-
ments On exhibition; and found Jack Doane
attending to matters while Mr. Vann was dis
integrating his breakfast beef steak. He
waited until his return. however, and asserted
that if Vann would only come outside he
would pound his worries for him and introduce
a pedal bass movement ON his person which
would reduce his tone four octaves. Vann
replied that he considered Ainsworth and his
Antisells too low on both the chrematic and
social scale for man of his accom- lishnsnts
to play on, otherwise he would perform the
" Turkish Review on his upper registers.
The disposition of both parties was consider
ably overstrung, and their voices keyed to
pitch equalling upper sharp. Doans took
no part in the duet, acting as a subdominant
third below the;ledger and fighting line. The
matter will be settled in the Police Court this
morning at ~ o'clock.
The report that the agent Of the Anti.sll
piano has no license is incorrect. Mr.. E. d.
Ainsworth called at the APPEAL office yester-
lay morning and showed both city and |
county license.

Some Astonishing Memories.


OF Fuller we are told 9tthat he could
write verbatim another mans sermon af-
ter hearing it once, and that he could do
the same with as many as 800 words in
an unknown language after hearing them
twice. One day he undertook to walk
from Temple Bar to the furthest end of
Cheapside and to repeat on his return
every sign on either side of the way in
the order of their occurrence, feat
which he easily accomplished" And
what has lately been reported of the Rev.
Orlando Hyham, as an example of his
most distictive faculty. that his memory
was such that as he read Liddel and
SCOTS Greek Dictionary he destroyed
the successive pages, content with hav-
ing mastered their contents, is told of
Bishlp Bull. at the end of a mastery ar
ray of intellectual powers:
s.And as his reading was great, tsos his
memory was equally retentiye. He never
kept any book of references Of common
places, neither did he ever need any,"
the writer adding that, together with
this happy faculty he was blessed with
another that seldom accompanied it in
the same person, and that was an accur-
ate and sound judgment" Memory was
in past day more Systematically culti-
waited than with us. People set them
selves tasks. Thus Thomas Cromwell,
of the Reformation period, as atraveling
task, committed to memory the whole of
Erasmus's Paraphrase on the New Testa-
ment. Bishop Sanderson could repeat
all the Odes of Horace, Tully's Offices,
and much of Juvenal and Persius with
ont book. Bacon alludes to receipts for
its improvement, as well as what herbs,
in the popular mind, tend to
strengthen imperfect memory, such
as onions, or beans, or other
such vaporous food. Again, he writes,
1--WE find in the art of memory that
images visible work better than con
ceits" in impressing things on the mind.
A fact which finds modern illustration
in the case of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
waiter who daily receives some 500 hats
from chance persons dining together in
one room, and without any system of ar
rangement promptly returns each hat to
its owner, explaining that he forms a
mental picture of the wearer's face in
side his hat, and that on looking into the
hat its owner is instantly brought before
him. Again, to recur to Bacons specu
lations, he finds that "hasty speech con-
founds memory" Again-as writing
makes an exact man, Soft a man
writes little he had need of q great MEM
| ory.n And he criticises the exercises
used in the universities as making too
great divorce between invention and
faculties. Blackwood's Magazine.

Bee Mysteries.

Probably bee culture has made as
rapid march of Improvement during the
past FIVE years as any branch of agrieul-
tural pursuits. During the present sea-
son the same care and expense has been
employed in selecting and importing bees
from Italy, the island of Cyprus, and
the Holy Land, as has been employed in
the perfection of our various breeds OF
horses and cattle. Although we do not
have the best pasturage in New England
that is found in the basswood and wild
flowers of the West, still many bees are
kept here with profit, even in the old box
hive. How much moro, then, might be
expected with the new appliances Of
frame hives, comb foundation, the prize
section box, the extractor and smoker.
With the aid of little smoke an expert
will open his hives and remove the
brood, bees or honey, show you his choice
queens, and discourse on their fine points
with as much accuracy as the best horse
trainers or herdsmen. On holding up q
frame of brood he may say You see

less than twenty-four hours old. See
what prolific queen she Is; does moi

A Plea for Corsets.

Although some women are foolish
enough TO dangerously compress their
vitals for the sake of unnatural slender
ness, fashion writer in Cincinnati
paper says that no such practice is re-
quired by the prevailing fashion:
Corsets, as now generally worn, are
more of comfort than otherwise The
present evil practice in this direction is
that OF forcible hattening the bosom.
About no other article of dress is FASH
ionable woman moro finicky. But women
who can afford it have their corsets made
to order, often paying as high as $25 for
carefully fitted one. Those who de-
mand OF their dressmakers that their
bodies shall fit like a glove, without q
wrinkle or o strain, must consent to
wear corsets of the same size and shape.
Otherwise a perfect fit at one time
would not be so at another. Many women
are SO soft and plant that they can be
shaped by corset to almost any desired
figure; but having chosen . model they
stick to it, or alter their dresses with
every change of stays. Formerly, when
skirts we're voluminous, it did not mat
ter what the corset was like below the
waist line; but now, with the skirts ly-
ing fat, all the outlines are Of import
ance. This has led to the extension of
corsets downward, until women who are
at all round are commonly encased from
shoulder to leg. The corsets displayed
in the stores, with their ribs of bone
and metal, look like rows of ancient ar
NOR. The lenthening is good thing.
because it equalizes the pressure and
prevents girting of the waist alone.

j Good pIace TO Driak whisky.

In those days you had not far 10 seek
for game, and you could scarcely go
wrong in any direction at any season of
the year. In winter and spring the park
still swarms with game; but it is neces-
sary in summer to know where to look
for it, to understand its manners and
customs, to 60 further and to work
harder than formerly, for Estes Park is
civilized. In summer time beautiful
but dangerous creatures roam the
park. The tracks OF tiny little shoes
are more frequent than the less interest
ing but harmless footprints OF noun
tain sheep. You are more likely to catch
glimpse of the flicker OF the hem of q
white petticeat in the distance than of
the glancing form of q deer. The marks
Of carriage wheels are more plentiful
than eik-signs, and you are not now so
likely to be scared by the human-like
track of gigantic bear as by the ap-
palling impress of q number eleven
boot. This is as it should be. There is
plenty Of room elsewhere for wild beasts,
and natures beauties should be
enjoyed by man. I well remember
the commencement of civilization.

I replied ''yes, naturally, for T have
