A Romantic Story.

\ romantic story comes from Clayton. one
of the many resorts ON the st. Lawrence.
Almost every day this summer a Young
woman the daughter OF a wealthy merchant
of Ottawa. has been sailing along the Ameri-
can Shore trolling for large fish. One after
noon last week n Young American named
Rice was rowing in his shell near Governor
Alvords island.
About half a mile from the shore. on look
ing around, he saw the young Canadian
woman struggling with her oars and the
trolling line attached to her right arm drawn
taut She evidently had caught large mus
calonge or sturgeon, and was endeavoring to
pull around with her larboard oar so as to
follow the fish gradually. In her excitement
she leaned too tar to the starboard side and
tumbled into the water.
Rice. with few pulls at his skulls, quick
ly reached the unfortunate woman, and
caught her by the arm. The combined
weight of the two upset the shallow shell,
and in Il twinkling both were struggling in
the water The trolling line was still at
tached to the young lady's arm, while she
clurg to her boat and the fish seemed to be
pulling Rice, his fair charge and the boat
down the stream rapidly. Rice, after con-
siderable work, succeeded in getting into the
fair Canadians boat, and then pulled her in
after him She appeared but little fright
ened. and said she had had similar ex-
perience before, but on these occasions she
had been Obliged to rescue herself. During
this explanation Rice noticed that the trolling
line was still taut and the young woman
had not relinquished her hold of it.
Convinced that something large was at the
other Ind of the line, he pulled it in as rapid
ly as possible, and was overjoyed at seeing a
mammouth muscalongc rise to the surface.
1t was quickly secured, and the young cana
dian, forgetting her wet clothes and mishap,
seemed to be delighted. She insisted that
her rescuer shonld take the muscalonge, and
he accepted it, with the understanding that
he should accompany her hereafter in her
fishing trips. The young woman is beauti-
ful the young man gallant; more anon.

LiStZ at the Piano.

Many wears ago-fullv twelve-wrtes a
Genoa correspondent of the New York Mail.
one fine afternoon the "demon pianiste"
Listz played here before a select company,
amongst the prOfane of which was your ser
want. It was late towards nightfall; coffee
had been distributed after dinner, and con-
versation had become so general and upon
topics so varied that music seemed forgotten.
Suddenly, as often occurs when merry com
pany has been talking and out-talking itselk
silence fell upon us. Listz, at the whispered
request of our hostess. rose and glided like
shadow toward the piano The moon had
risen and flooded the apartment, marking the
marble floor with the vivid outline Of the slen
der columns of the loggia. One lamp in
back room lighted fantastically the noble
chamber. Presently hurricane of notes, of
chords and chromatic scales startled ms and
commanded attention. The crash was ter
rife. one could scarcely believe that a piano
| could produce such mighty sounds. The
long lank fingers of the able Travelled so
| swiftly over the notes that one could only dis
| tnguish the position Of his hands rampaging
mp and down, with the rapid. nearly invisible
motion of the futtering wings of n humming
bird. The storm subsided, and presently
there foated into the room such delicious
| melody. so quaint, so pathetic, so pOetical,
that the imagination. touched thereby, sets
| forth to work to create fantastically day
dreams-to conjure up the past and to people
the ancient villa with its quondam stately in
habiants. The sad melody faded and changed
to the most picturesque Of minutes. Then,
tell you truly when say We all saw ghosts.
The dmIy lighted room was full Of them.
There was the lady in gold brocade and the
| little girl with the peacock, and all the long

with sashed doublets, and even grand old

Facts About Fog.

1t is singular paradox, but the fog is most
mist when it doesn't 90 away.
And when it is gone, it is not fog gotten.
When the foghorns are dismally booming
they make you think of Og, king of Bashaw,
who owned the-ba-cows, and vou wonder
if he was the old original Fog, and if these
booming horns Of Og are not descendants Of
his-ha-cattle.
A full-grown foghorn has very penetrating
snore. They sound like a Prospect hill
woman asleep in the next room.
Though it is very light in its construction,
yen rannot see through fog. This explains
why ii Is so difficult to understand Col. In
gersolrs sermons.
You can light up the darkness, but you
can't bore ray Of light into fog.
Fogs are not necessarily confined to the
seashore. On the trackless prairies you may
frequently meet a farmer coming to town
with drove of hogs.
The smallest and li9htest piece of vapor in
the world is called pettifogger. He is easy
to blow away. You can easily hear him blow
away, in the court room, on the smallest case
on the docket. He is never due, and he
would not be mist if he had never been. As
1t is, he is mister.-BrYdette in Harkeye.

A Cooks Paradise.

According to the Hotel Mail, every lady of station in Austria knows how to cook. They do not learn the art at regular cooking clubs or at home, but they go to the house of prince or rich banker where there is a famous chef, and learn from him. When chef en- gages to cook for any one he reserves the right to receive and instruct as many young ladies as he pleases. When a banquet is to be given he notifies his pupils, and they come to watch the pro cess, without necessarily knowing the mistress of the house. At this time ii would be great breach of etiquette fol any member of the family to trespass upon the cook and his department.
