Meyerbeer and the Poet.


One night while he was in Brussels a
duet came into his mind at a. m. He
leaped from bed, rang the bell for a
servant, and asked for poet. The
servant, not knowing what dish that
was, awoke the master of the house,
and, after satisfying himself that Meyer
beer really wanted at that hour of the
night a biped who turned out verses,
gave him the address of well-known
Belgian poet, ordered a cab, and sent
Meyerbeer to the dramatist's home.
Meyerbeer tugged the bell till he
brought the master, who answered the
larm in the worst possible humor I'M
til the visitor said: Il am Meyerbeer.

these untimely hours, when only
churchyards yawn, the humor is not on

beer gave his thoughts. II would
write what you want a great deal better
after thinking over it tonight. Give
me till tomorrow" "No, no, no; write
it at once; tomorrow shall be in Ber-

beer was pleased with it; he drew out
his pocketbook. took l ,000-franc bank

SMOKING CIGARETTES.
Likewise some Other Substance That
Is Not so PaIatable.

There are few current decisions that
have become so firmly fixed as the trade
trick which claims that the only origi-
nal cigarette, warranted not to kill or
ruin the larynx, is the one wrapped in
rice paper. During the last ten years
cigarette smoking has grown apace in
this country. AT the beginning of the
war the cigarette was the mark of a
foreigner, the Spaniard especially. All
the continental nations, however, do
most ftheir smoking in this way. The
ready made cigarette is only COM
paratively late invention. 1t was crea.-
ed in difference to the impatient spirit
of the American, who cannot give the
time or possibly acquire the skill nee
essary to roll a cigarette. The address
with which the job is done abroad elicts
admiration. So great an adept was
Napoleon III. in the making of this
small solace, that with one hand, the
left, he could arrange the tobacco and
roll the paper into a condition fit to
smoke, This, however, is d by no means
rare plishment in France Spain,
or Italy. 1t was the American who
invented the patent cigarettes, not SO
much to save the consumer the trouble
of making the article as to get good
chance to adulterate them. There is
not a cigarette made in America that
any man, boy or woman would smoke
if the making and mixture of them
could be seen. Every brand makes a
loud boast of using rice paper, whereas
anyone who takes the trouble to ex-
anime the rice plant will see at glance
that there is no fibrous constance in
it to make paper of the sort used in
cigarettes. Prodigious fortunes have
been made and are making, and ROLL
lions of people are slowly running their
digestive organs by inhaling the foul
stuff wrapped up in the various brands
that claim to be pure. Let any smoker
of cigarettes subject his tongue and
throat to medical examination after
smoking a package of cigarettes.
Nltrlol itself leaves no more sinister
impression on the tongue, throat, and
palate. If the cigarette were made of
pure tobacco and fairly good papers it
would be no more harmful than cigar,
which the world has come to agree
substantially is not harmful at all. But
the greed of the trade enters this, like
all other enterprises that spring up to
supply sudden demand. A package of
twenty cigarettes, which may represent
an outlay of from three to five cents,
the manufacturer exacts twelve to
sixteen cents for There is really in a
package of twenty as much genuine
tobacco as a smoker consumes in one
honest pipeful. 1t may safely be said
that, with perhaps one or two except
ions, every cigarette made is source of
violent physical reaction, Obstructive of
vital tissues and the active principle of
lurking and insidious diseases, and that
it is better to smoke pound of tobacco
in any other form than the pinch mingl-
ed with poison that makes up the ridi-
culously expensive and utterly worth
less article of cigarette that holds the
market

Che Duke of Sutherland and His Party
Visit the Government Indian School.

The visit of the distinguished Duke
Of Sutherland and his party to the Car
IL lie Indian School was the event of the
week hero. They We're a. companied
by several railroad magnates and by
the Hon. Judge Watts, of this place.
Captain Pratt, in full uniform, escorted
them to the instruction departments
first, showing them the practical work
ings of the schools. The ducal party
were very much interested by the diff
ferent phases of Indian instruction
they witnessed The first room was
occupied by lady teacher and her
dusky pupils in the study of reading.
The next was an exercise IN calisthenics,
and the next was singing by the girls.
The visitors asked many questions, con-
versing freely with both teachers and
scholars. Mr.. Crossfield was particu
larly happy and his audiphone was in
constant use.
| heard one gentleman remark as
they entered the grounds probably
Bull Run RusselD that this was the
place that "our friend Fitzhugh Lee
bombarded and burned" They saw
the Indian youth in a variety of char
acters, as readers, writers, soldiers, car
penters, timers, shoemakers, singers,
band members, etc, etc. One tall
youth appeared in all the parapher-

bow and arrow, shooting at a target

eblo tribe came tripping and laughing
up to the Duke, attired in magnificent
apparel of robes and bells feathers,
hogs teeth, rings, and SO on, and deity
slipped into the Dukes hand neat
purse of her own make, for which the
Duke kindly thanked her. After visit
ing the schools and workshops the $50

assembled in the chapel. Captain
Pratt named each tribe separately and
the members of each stood up as the
tribal name was announced. Under
Mr.. Curtin's direction, the band of
twelve Indian boys played Nearer My
God to Thee" for the guests, and were
greatly applauded. Those Boys are a
solemn set of fellows. Their counte-
nances do not evince whether they like
music or not, but as an old band man
| pronounce them good tooters for the
time they have been at the business.
The Duke made an address. He
spoke in high terms Of the work
of the teachers and of Captain
Pratt; he told the lads and lassses be-
fore him of the grand work being done
by kind government for them, and
charged them not to abuse their prvi-
leges when they returned to their far
off homes" If they did abuse their
privileges they would be indeed most
ungrateful.
The Duke seemed to be much affect
ed when he spoke One lady accom-
panied the party. They enjoyed the
visit greatly.

FREAKS OF FHE TELEGRAPH.-Names
are always great stumbling-block TO
the clerks, aud addresses are composed
of names. Most of us have tricks OF
writing names in any but distinct
fashion; and although the Post Office
persistently reminds US, on the forms
given to us to write our kilograms on,
that the writing should be plain, this
advice, like most advice, is but too often
neglected. Hence many kilograms get
altogether as ray, sometimes to the not
slight discontinue of those into whose
hands they fall, and who, unwilling that
any error has been made, forthwith
act upon them. 1t is related that wo-
man residing in some small street in
Manchester once received what appear
ed to be a summons from her husband
to come up to London. Very r. UGH a
Harmed, she at once started. On her
way she got into conversation with an
other woman who was in the same car
riage, and who she found was going up
to see her husband, who was in London
i'll. This woman had been expecting
to receive a telegram from her huaband,
and, not hearing, had grown anxious,
and had finally set off without the tele-
gram. Further parley revealed the
fact that their names were the same;
that their husbands names were the
same: that they both lived in the same
quarter in Manchester: and it finally
transpired that the telegram which had
been delivered to the first woman was
the very one which the second had
been waiting for-the error in delivery
having been caused by some such mis-
take as s'Hamilton-street' for g Henri
etta.street"-a mistake very likely at
tributable to want of distinctnesS in
the writing Another curious case of
coincidence of which we have heard
was that of telegram addressed to
'John Stillingwise, Brookdean, near
Kirkby Lonsdale", from Robert Still
ingwise, his brother, begging of him to
come at once TO him to a hotel which
he indicated in, Leeds. The address
"Brookdean" was in some way altered,
and the telegram was delivered to an
other John Stillingwise living some
where in the neighborhood of Kirkby
Lonsdale. This unfortunate man, who
had net heard anything of his brother
Robert for some 20 years, at once start
ed off in stormy, wintry weather, reach
ed Leeds in the evening, and was told
by the landlord that he could not see
his brother that night, as he was very
far from well, and had gone to bed.
The very next morning he was ushered
into Robert Stillingwise's room expect
ing to see his long-lost brother. when, to
his extreme astonishment and disgust
he found himself confronted by an ut
ter strangerl-Blackwood's Magazine.

ROWING AGAINST THE r1nE.
1t is easy to glide with the ripples

1t is easy to glide with the ripples

Wheu rowing against the tide.
We nav hoat on the rivers surface
While our oars scarce touch the stream,
And visions OF e9Fly glory

We forget that on before US

And while We are idly dreaming,
The waters will carry Us ore.

They struggle against its surges,
And mind neither toll nor strife,
Though weary and faint with labor,
Singing. triumphant, they ride
For Christ IS the herOs Captain
When rowing against the tide.
Far on through the hazy distance.
Like mist on distant shore,
They see the wall Of a city,
With its banners floating ore,
Seen through glass so darkly
They almost mistake II ir way
But faith throws light on their labor,
When darkness shuts out their day.
And shall we be one Of their number
Who mind no toll nor pain
Shall we mourn the loss Of earthly joys
When we have a crown to gain
Or shall we glide ON with the river,
With death at the end Of our ride

the Improved Instruction of Deaf
mutes, who had been brought thither
to give public exhibition of their pro-
ficiency in lip-reading and vocal articu-
lation. They numbered 122 boys and
girls, ranging in age from z TO s years.
Many OF them are the children Of par
ents we'll able to pay for their educa-
ton, but the majority are members of
poor families. All were neatly, and
many ofthem handsomely, attired, and
each wore small bouquet. Nobody,
unless aware of the fact, would imagine
that the bright, handsome children who
sat in tiers, laughing and conversing
eagerly without gesticulatlng or using
the sign language, were deafnutes.
Yet, such was the fact, but, thanks to
the admirable instruction afforded,
those in attendance were enabled to
hear the dumb speak. AT 5 O'Clock
when Mr. James Pearce, NJ. b., played
the opening march on the organ, the
hall was filled by an audience embrac-
ing many of our best citizens. After a

Nh ID. Greenberger, Principal of the

They showed wonderful proficiency in
lip-culture and articulation, understand
ing his words at a distance of 20 feet

pitched from the throat, the questions

ner in which beginners are first taught,
re next given, and then the classes
were examined in all the various branch
es of study as impaired in the public
schools. They showed a thorough
knowledge of arithmetic, penmanshlp,
geography, history, and bookkeeping,
and several were cOnversant with the
german tongue. The exercises alto
gether were exceedingly interesting,
and the efforts of the pupils were greet
ed with plaudits unheard by those
whose proficiency had elected them
During the exercises Miss Mary Shea,
daughter of the Chief-Justice, sang, to
the accompaniment of signor Mario,

Married PeOnle Would be HapnY.

If home trials were never told to
neighbors.
If they kissed and made up after
every quarrel.
If houshold expenses were proper
toned to receipts.
If they tried to be as agreeable as in
courtship days.
If each would try TO be a support and
comfort to the other.
If each remembered the other was a
human being, not an angel.
If women were as kind to their hus-
bands as they were to their lovers.
If fuel and provivions were laid in
during the high tide of summer work
If both parties remembered that they
married for worse as well as for better.
If men were as thoughtful for their
wives as they were for their sweet
hearts.
If there were fewer silk and velvet
street costumes and more plain, tidy
home-dress.
Ifthere were fewer ''please darlings. .
in public, and more common manners
in private.
If wives and husbands would take
some pleasure as they go along and not
degenerate into mere toiling machines.
Recreation is necessary to keep the
heart in its place, and to get along
without it is a big mistake.
If men would remember that a
woman can't be always smiling who
has to cook the dinner, answer the
door-bell half dozen times, and get rid
of neighbor who has dropped in, tend
to sick baby, tie up the cut finger of
a two-year-old, gather up the play
things of four-yearold, tie up the
head if six-year- old, and get an eight
year-old ready for school, to say moth
ing ofsweeping, cleaning, etc. A woman
with all this to contend with may claim
it as privilege to look and feel little
tired some times, and a word of sym.
pathy would not be too much to expect
from the man, who during the honey
moon wouldn't let her carry as much
as a sunshine.
