Macauley's Riddle.

swer 20 the Macaulay riddle. Macaulay
was a most ingenious maker of riddles.
One of his remained many years in the
window of London jewelers. shop with
a liberal reward for the correct answer,
and was, we believe, never solved. The
riddle by him which we published some
time ago, and which has excited 80 much
attention among our readers, has not yet
been satisfactorily answered. We have
received some dozen communications on
the subject, but not one of them answers
the requirements of the case. Without
going into particulars we may say that,

"Love" necessarily "kills a king" or
"sets q wise man mad" Try again.

Born in Spain, of Italian parents, ed
ucated in America and passing her ma
ture life In the various capitals OF Eu-
rope, Madame Patti Is cosmopolite.
Che speaks English like an educated
American French like Partisan the
beauty of her Italian all who have heard
her know; German and Spanish are
equally familiar TO her, and she can talk
with Russian in his own tongue. She
even asserts that she can speak Welsh,
and it can at least be attested that she
fearlessly pronounces the name Of her
postoffice in Wales, which no one on
this side of the Atlantic would attempt.
1t is curious to hear her carrying ON
polyglot conversation, talking business
to one person, art to another and small
talk to a third, and interpreting from one
tongue TO another with absolute COM
mand of the idioms of each. The visitor
calling after her breakfast hour will
probably find good deal of this poly
glot conversation going on IN animated
fashion. 1t takes long while for M.
Franchi, Madame PATHS business man,
to get the arrangements for the day
clearly understood, bat the elderly
Frenchnan presently takes his leave,
kissing the Diva's hand with courtfy
obeisance, and then business is for the
time dismissed. The conversation ma
turally drifts to music. Madame Patti
understands her own position as an art
list perfectly we'll. She knows that she
is the best singer in the world, for 1t Is
to that that her life has been devoted,
and the consciousness of her power Is
one great secret of her achievement.
She does not lead the talk to herself, but
if yeu speak of her singing she will talk
of it with you without the slightest af-
fectation. Her position Is simply taken
for granted, and therefore she can speak
of other artists with the appreciation and
the calm Judgment of one who is quite
beyond the reach of professional jeal-
ousy. Like all thorough artists she has
an outspoken contempt for everything
chat looks like charlatanry and a warm
recognition for every honest achieve
ment, in however small way. Like
other thorough artists, also, she likes
appreciation, and if you have given her
praise which she knows to be intelligent
and just, she Will thank you with as
much apparent earnestness as though
she had not heard the same thing hun
dred times before.
1t is instructive as well as entertain
ing to talk with such woman about
music. She has heard all the famous
singers of the past quarter of a century
and of them all she says that Sontag
was her ideal. But this she scarcely
needs to say, for those who heard Son.
tag must find her memory recalled by
Patti, and the descriptions of Sontag's
method that we read in the books might
be applied with scarcely change to her
successor Philadelphia Times.

On the Legislator.

A distinguished leg islator from Frank
fort, who Is also an editor, was in the
city seeing the sights and taking in the
usual luxuries incident to the metropo-
us. He was particularly struck with the
elegant residences up town, and descant-
ed freely upon them.
"There Is one thing, though, 1 don't
quite understand" he said, stopping be-
fore house with plate-glass windows,
each containing fine jardiniere.
"Wel, what is that ?" inquired his
friend.
why, this business, which 1 have
noticed all around everywhere, ofputting
them fancy spit-boxes on little stands in
the windows"
The friend didn't try to explain; he
only held his breath until he recovered
from the shock, and that legislator went
back to his duties at the capital still
wondering at the questionable taste of
Louisville house decoration. -LOuisvilL

A Jackass That Wouldn't Scare.
Detroit Free Press

A vagrant ass stood beside the track
of the Sunset Railway at the depot. An
engine moved slowly up; it stopped
within few feet of the ass; the engineer
blew one of those terrible screams, pro-
longing and r-piercing-such a blast
as makes the sleeping Millerite dream
of the day of judgment. Did that ass
scare? Not worth cent. Did he shake
the sloth from his limbs, erect his tail
and speed away like the asses of Basso-
rah, faster than the Bedouin coursers
run back to the chapparal? No, he
didn't. He turned one ear to the en-
CINE, just as deaf man uses his tin ear
trumpet, and caught every particle of
the sound. And when the steam blow
whistle ceased its notes and all the
echoes died away, the animal straight
ened out his neck, opened his mouth.
