The New Pianist.

The Norwegian pianist, Edmund
Neupert, who as already announced, IS
on his way to America for the purpose
of giving concerts in our larger ciLles, Is
a pianist of the first rank and a COM
poser of considerable merit. He is in
the prime of life, having been born on
April |, 1912. He received his first lessons
in music from his father, Herman Neu-
pert, u music-dealer and teacher of the
pano-forte in Christiania, Norway.
He played in public concerts at the age
of sc ven with marked success, and in
1858 he was sent to Berlin, where he
received further instruction from Pro-
fessor Kullak. Here he soon became a
favorite i'm the best musical circles, and
at the age of - he appeared in the
SjnqakUdeDlie, and was received with
favor. BY invitation of Gade he be-
came teacher in the Copenhagen
Conservatory of Music in 1868. He has
repeatedly given concerts in the largest
cities of Germany and Scandinavia. In
1880 NeupCrt was called to position i'll
the Musical Academy of Moscow, in Rus
sia, where he was greeted with great APP
plause. After the death of Nicholas
Rubinstein, at whose request Neupert
had gone to Moscow, he returned to
Christiania, where he has established a
music school. If We except Erika Lie,
who is a famous interpreter of Bee
thoven, Neupert is unquestionably the
most brilliant piano virtuoso the Sean
dinavian countries have produced.
Among his compositions his six "lm-
provisations" on Morse themes are per-
haps the best known and most popular;
his "Etudes" are also frequently found
ON concert programmes.

Buying n Load Of Wood.
Detroit Free Press,


Bright and early the other morning
farmer arrived at the eastern market
with load of fOur-foot wood, and the
first person to accOst him was woman,
who asked:
"How much for the load?"
"Four dollars"
"Havc you got over cord on there?'
"Ies."
"In give you three dollars and a
half"
Cant do it,"
"Pm widow with six children"
Cant help that, ma'am-the price is
four dollars.
She disappeared, but it was dull day
in the wood market, and at the end Of
an hour when she returned the man was
still there.
as this the same load?" she asked.
"The very same"
"All dry wooden
every stick of it,"
"No rotten chunks in the centre?"
"If there is a single one I'll give you
the whole load"
"Then I'll give you three dollars and
half"
Cant do it."
"Pm widow with sick husband and
seven children to support"
AYES, know, but four dollars is the
price" -,
At noon she came again and offered
him the same price, and although he
still refused a bright idea popped into
his head. He drove around the corner
and unloaded nearly quarter of cord,
n Haf
and drove back to the stand. In about
half an hour the woman passed by and
called out:
Haven't you sold yet?"
"No.n
an give you three and half in sill
ver-all in quarters"
"Well, guess I'll take it, and I'd as
lief have silver as anything else"
He drove six blocks through the mud
with grin on his mouth, aud he
cackled and chuekled over the joke as
heuploaded the wood. She placed four
teen quarter dollars in his hand as he
finished, and he buried off as he saw
her looking over the pile. That might
have ended the transaction, but 1t didn't
all the same. In the course OF the next
twenty minutes a man closely resem-
bling the wood seller was seen to halt a
policeman on Gratiot avenue, go down
into his pocket fourteen successive times
after quarter dollars, and when he had
fished up the last one he was heard to
shout: $50
every burned one of 'em has got
hole in it as big as my fist, and I'm a
william if don't carry the case clear to

The Commune In Paris.

ldTtS Correspondence fhtHU'etpN1u EFeSS.
Let me give you an idea of the fever
ish way in which Communism exists
in Paris to-day. At recent represent
alive meeting of Socialists, Madame
Michel proposed to organize a woman
strike as the best means of subduing the
Bourgeouise. This strike" said she,
must be organized Mt all points of the
globe at once. We must forget our nat
ural role i'm order to think only of the
future. Men are weak, and that weak
ness will deliver them into the hands of
women" One of the audience here OBJ
ieeted that wOman's strike would be
the end Of the world. To which Obser-
walton Louise Michel replied that her
mission was to organize dlsorganiZa-
tons, and that whether the world came
to an end or not in the process was to
her a matter of supreme indifference.
Madame Louise Michel then descended
from the tribune and was succeeded by
NJ. Emile Digeon, who proposed In an
excited speech that marriage be
abolished. Whereupon one of the au-
dience objected that the abolition or
marriage was unnecessary, as it would
be the natural consequence OF the
woman's strike advocated by Madame
Louise Michel. The next speaker was
an ex-member OF the Commune, NJ.
Jules Alix, who proposed TO destroy,
burn and shiver to pieces all human IN,
titutiOns. Some one, little less mao
than Alix, having asked what 1t was
proposed to construct when everything
was destroyed, Alix replied, Nothing!
nothing! five demolish everything
it is not for the purpose Of reconstruct
ing anything. five burn the Code IL Is
not to make another one" Everything,
he declared, was tumbling down, and
the Republic was in the last stages or
decrepitude. The meeting then dis
persed with cheers for Louise Michel
and the woman's strike. ....

An Afflicted Family.

An English exchange says:
Recently, while the Princess of
Wales was sitting in her carriage, near
one of her country homes, a working
man rushed forward and offered to
shake hands with her. This was re-
garded as a fragrant Offense, and the
man was dubbed and dragged Off"
The English paper adds, "the Princess
bore the insult remarkably well, merely
shrinking back IN her carriage"
From a special London correspondent
of TGrdS SittlgS we CLEAN the follow
ing particulars: The Princess bore up
under the crushing disaster with re-
markable fortitude, but the most terri
BILE effects of the blow fell upon her
royal relatives and the crowned heads
of Europe. The Prince of Wales had
only sworn off a week previous, and was
behaving himself remarkably well, but
when he heard that a man below the
rank of Duke had offered to shake
hands with his wife, he just let go
all holds and went on prolonged spree
and has not drawn a sober breath since.
Queen Victoria had washed the break
fast dishes, and was just hanging out
the clothes on the line in the back yard
of BalmOral Castle, when she heard the
dreadful tidings. She tainted away with
o clothes pin in her mouth, but was
brought too i'm few. hours. On hearing,
however, that the miscreant was named
SnOoks, and did not even have kid
gloves on, she had a relapse. She has
been so i'll ever since that Princess
Beatrice has had to chop the tirewood
with her own royal hands. She asked
the Prince of Wales to cut her up
an armful of wood, but he was not in q
condition to comply with her request.
The Duke of Edinburgh was requested
to take off his coat and help out, but he
said he was not that kind of Duke,
and that the family had better have
their meals sent from restaurant until
the old lady was able to attend to her
household cares once more. The I'M
fortune affair has played the mischief
with the royal family.

The water We Drink.

DR.. n. B. Sizer gives the following
rules regarding water we are to drink ::
First, no water unfit for washing in Is
fit for drink. Second, all soft water
possessing sensible color, taste, or
odor is probably unsafe, but can be
made potable by bringing it up to the
boiling point and keeping it there for
five minutes. Third, rainwater is the
easiest accessible source of soft water;
when caught in proper cistern from a
clean roof, especially during the last
half of long rain, when both air and
roof have been washed clean, it makes
a very clear and sparkling water, and
is always better after tiitering through
charcoal, being then healthful. Fourth,
hard waters are apt to act as a cathar-
tic on those used to pure water, because
they are generally diluted saline solu-
tions, such as are used for cathartics in
medical practice. Fifth, organic i'm.
purity is often the source Of very fatal
epidemics, and is by many believed to
be one of the great sources OF conta-
gien in typhoid fever and cholera.
Remember that three-tenths ola grain
of organic matter per gallon Il ,0OOth
of per cent has been known to
