A Musicians Revenge.

Here is a pleasant story of Richard
Levy, who, besides filling the important
post of Chief Inspector in the Imperial
Opera House in Berlin ian Office he con-
templates resignine), is one of the finest
horn players in Europe, and, MOI cover,
notorious throughout the musical world
for the smartness and pungency of his
repartees. Some years ago when his
solo playing on the cor angle was all the
rage in Niennese society, he was engaged
to perform at a private party, and, hav-
ing selected peculiarly sentimental aria
as his item in the evenings programme,
was breathing the most dulcet and soul
subduing tones into his instrument. All
present, save only two, were listening to
his tender strains with rapt attention
and in profound silence. The two ex-
ceptions were lady and one of his
most intimate friends, dramatic author,
who had, only few days previously,
brought out his first comedy at the Burg
Theatre. This gentleman chatted or,
only too audibly, with his fair neighbor,
whilst Levy was producing the most
pathetic sounds, his eyes, meanwhile,
darting shafts of rage and scorn at the
pair of delinquents, but more especially
"fxlng" his inconsiderate friend, who,
obviously tickled by the remarks Of his
fellow-offender, INDUCED In repeated and
obstreperous bursts of laughter. AS
soon, however, as Richard Levy had
terminated his solo, and the applause of
his audience had some what subsidized, he
walked straight up to the seat of the I'M
timely cachinnator and exclaimed IN a
voice that was distinctly audible to the
whole assembled company: ut is not
nice OF you, my good friend, to laugh
whilst am playing. saw your comedy
the evening before last, and the deuce a
bit did / laugh at it." "Dixit. ct liber-
avit amman"

Doing Right.

A man who loudly calls attention to
the fact that he has resolved to turn
over a new leaf" IN his life is not al
ways to be trusted. He who pcrpetually
makes resolutions is pretty sure to break
them. People should reform, il it be
necessary to do so, at once, and without
parading their intentions before the
eyes of the world. They should 60 to
work silently, and with firm determi-
nation to carry out, no matter how try
ing or hard it may be at first, those vir-
tuous designs which they deem necessary
for their welfare. They should not look
to the world for applause; their high
est reward will in due time come for the
good they have done for themselves or
others; meanwhile they will enjoy that
which assuredly is sweet and precious
possession-the consciousness that they
are worthily fulfilling the object for
which they were brought into this world.
A more odious form of conceit than this
Dragging about self reform does not ex-
list, and no effort should be spared in
order to stamp it out. Let those, then,
who wish to improve, labor to that end
in silence and in sincerity; success is
sure TO crown their efforts. But they
should not flaunt their excellence in the
eyes Of the world

As Others See Us.

a gentleman living in Australia, who
recently made an extended tour through
the United States, told the Melbourne
Leader of his observations and impress
sions while in this country. He said,
"With the human element in the man
ufacturing power so much more intellec-
tual and progressive than it is in the old
country, it was to be expected that the
former system of lead work would soon
he radically changed Wien high wages
had to be paid, it was necessary that the
mechanical aids should be increased so
as to reduce the cost of construction.
Thus, from the very early days of man
ufacturing industry in America, 1t was
plain that man was to be the guiding
and directing element, and machinery
the power to do all the hard and monot
onous part of the work. Soon after it
was found that nails could be made by
machinery at the rate of 100 to | by
hand, the old process was given up. 1T
is claimed by the Colt Firearm Company
that their system of making all separate
parts of machines alike and interchange
able was the first brought TO perfection,
but this was manifestly gradual devel-
opment OF the mode of making clocks,
carriages, agricultural machinery and
other things in which the mechanical
agents were made the principle factors.
The system is one of vast Importance in
increasing convenience and saving loss
of time in the use of machinery in which
any part is liable to be broken. Visits
for the purposes of comparison to Amer
lean, and afterwards to English factories,
left very different impressions both as to
the character of the people and the na-
ture of the work DONE In the one the
workmen We're all better dressed and en-
gagged i light. work, tuning out with
ease nicely finished and thoroughly eff.
cient machines; while at the others the
workmen were at hard work, with dirty,
greasy clothes on, turning ont imple-
ments rough and badly finished. There
is very marked difference in the char
acter OF the machinery of all kinds in
the two countries, to be traced to the
prevalence of machine work No great
change will probably he effected in the
English mode Of preparing textile fabrics
but improvements have been effected to
lessen the amount of attendance required
-Lyall's positive loom for instance.
One of these looms, attended by one girl,
is said to turn out 800 square yards of
stuff in ten hours, the pieces being eight
or ten yards wide The tendency in all
factories is to steadily reduce tie NUM-
Der of hands employed in proportion to
the production"

Love may be likened to the sun under
whose influence one plan Celebrates nu-

and which, while it draws up pestilence
from the marsh and jungle, and sets the

ses light, life and happiness over the
healthy and cultivated regions OF the
earth.

Destructive Influences.

Doubtless countless myriads of living
creatures come into existence, OF which
by far the greater part must be de-
stroyed. One aphis may be the parent
of 5,904.900,000 individuals in five
generations, and when these are swal-
lowed up by lady birds and other enc
mics in mass, it is no individual varia-
ton that can avert their fate The I'M
checkered produce of couple of her
rings would stock the Atlantic in few
years, until there would be no room to
move; and when these are engulfed in
shoals as mouthful for the balpnoptera
they can make as little struggle for their
existence as the grass can that the COW
licks up, or the vegetation of a district
that is devastated by water 1t is an
unwritten law of Nature that one race
must die that another race may live;
this other, in its turn. subscribing the
same end, and so On constantly until
the cycle be complete. Without this
law. against which there is no appeal,
Nature would be chaotic impossibiIity.
The destructive influences are SO pre-
dominant that the carnage is indiscrim
mate and without struggle.

Popularity Of a Swan.

Visitors to Pine Grove Cemetery at
Milford, Mass, are much surprised to
see a swan standing on grave near a
child's rocking horse. The swan utters
shrek if any one attempts to approach
the grave. Some years ago the male to
the swan died, and soon after The rock
ing horse was placed on the newly made
grave, when the surviving swan immed-
lately stationed himself as protector over
the horse. II the father of the little boy
who is buried there approaches, the swan
makes no cutlery, but no one else is al
lowed to approach the spot. Recently the
horse was taken away and painted, and
while it was absent the swan took no
notice of the grave, but passed its time
on the pond or in it's house, but when
the horse was replaced the swan took up
its position by its side, thus showing that
it was the rocking horse and not the
grave that was the object of its vigil.
1t is rumored that the trustees ordered
the horse removed, but the owner Of the
lot refused to comply with the command,
because his son had requested that it be
placed above his grave.-Boston Journal.

Beating a Conductor.

a passenger going West from Detroit
by rail the other day had a pass to Chi
cago When the conductor took it up
he asked several questions to satisfy
himself that the pass had not been trans
ferred, and the holder of the pasteboard
didn't take it as good naturally as some
men would. He didn't have much to
say, but he was determined on revenge.
AS soon rs the conductor left the car,
the man changed seats, removed his hat,
and looked like a different person alto
gether. After the train left the next
station the conductor came along with
an eye out for new passengers, and pres
emily reached out for the holder of the
pass.
81 haven't got any ticket" was the
surly answer
"Then you must pay your fare.
81 won't do it."
"See here" said the conductor as he
began to wake up, "you must either pay
your fare or produce ticket. II not |
will drop you on the road"
''Drop and be hanged.
The train was not stopped, but after a
run of ten minutes it reached station
and arrangements were made for bounc-
ing the man. When all was complete
heshowed his pass.
"Why didn't you tell me sou bad
pass p roared the conductor
"Why didn't you ask me- p shouted
the traveller.
"Well, l don't like such fooling'
"Nor l, either"
The train went on, and the man put
on his buster, traded hats with pas
senger and again looked like some one
else. He changed his seat to the front
end of the Car, and was seemingly
sound asleep when the conductor again
had occasion to pass through. He
took two fares and then held out his
hand to the traveller. There was no re-
spouse. He shook the sleeper gently,
but the latter slept on. The he shook
him good and stout and called "ticket
in his ear.
"How dare you shake me around in
this mannerl' shouted the man AS he
awoke and stood up.
Ticket, please"
"But l don't please How dare you
come to me every time the train leaves
station |"
The conductor looked down the aisle,
thought he saw the man with the pass
in his old seat, and said to the other:
"Come sir, don't bother me, | want
your ticket p
"Yo1 can't have it !"
"Then Ill put you off"
He reached for the bell rope, but see
ing a general grin all around the car he
stopped and looked more closely at the
man and recognized him as the one with
the pass. He went out without a word,
and when he returned half an hour later
he expected another trap. He looked
carefully over the car, and was going
slowly along in search of new faces when
a man with his coat Off and under the
influence Of liquor, called out.
"Shay captain, | hain't got any
ticket"
"Ah you can't beat me again
knew YOU as soon as entered the car -
chuckled the cor ductor, and he walked
off with broad grin on his face.
1t was not until he saw the shirt
sleeved man get Off at the next station
that he knew that he had been mistaken
again and had let him travel for moth
ing, while the man with the pass was in
the smoking car.

A Poetic Justice.

When you took a second look at him
YOU could see a sort of grimness about
him which convinced you that whatever
he undertook to do he would accomplish
or break his back in the attempt. About
noon yesterday, when the rain fell fast,
he appeared ON Woodward avenue under
an old umbrella worth about the price
of It's ribs. At the opera house he
placed his old rain-shedder in the door
way and took position in another not
far away. In about two minutes along
came citizen with his left eye watching
for Just such chance, and bounced on
that umbrella with a chuckle of the
deepest satisfaction. He didn't wait
around there for the owner to appear,
and he didn't care a copper whether it
belonged to q Sister of Charity or an
over-grown bondholder. AS he started
off, rejoicing over his good luck, the
grim man followed. The umbrella
hooker had walk of about half mile
to reach his residence. and the grim man
was close on his heels all the way. AS
the citizen halted at his gate the other
detained him and quietly remarked
II want you to do me "A favor"
"Ah, yes-I never give anything to
tramps.'
az want you to take that umbrella
back to the doorway from which you
stole 1t !"
This umbrella why, is this yours ~
at is, and you must take it back.
well, YOU see, l couldn't do that, but
l guess it has been worth a quarter to
me-"
"Will you take it back :" asked the
man with the iron jaw.
"Why, no What's the old thing
worth, anyhow y
Zone hundred dollars ~
That's good joke. I'll give you
fifty cents for it"
"If you don't bout face and take that
umbrella back to the identical doorway,
I'll mop you into every puddle of water
between this and the corner, and when
let up on you your wife won't be aole to
find button to identify you by !"
Thus quietly remarked the grim man,
as he unbuttoned his overcoat, display
ing chest like base drum. He had
the strength of an OK and there was an
'Imeanit y look in each eye.
''Say, | don't want any quarrel with
YOU" observed the citizen. take youl
um brella and a couple of dollars"
mo, sir !"
Say three -
'No, sir ~
'Say five"
The price, said the grim man, twill
be 100 straight dollars, and you must
take the umbrella back. If | stand
here in the rain FIVE minutes longer
shall charge you one dollar per minute
The citizen headed down town. He
was too mad to raise the umbrella, but
carried it under his arm, while the grim
man kept close behind him. When the
doorway had been reached and the UNI
brella replaced, the citizen was about to
turn away, but the other placed his
hand on his revolver and said
STRANGER, you arc good walker, and
YOU have performed your part of the
contract TO my entire satisfaction. In
future 1t will be well for you to buy
your umbrella in the regular way or
take your walks between showers You
can now finish your excursion"
