The Orchestral Baton.
iHOmo Journal. !

Tho bator was first used at tho Kings
theatre by Chelard. He camo to London
at Monck Mason's invitation with q
German company in 1882, and always
conducted with baton. Before thnt
the leader alono with his violin bow con-
Quoted the orchestra. Sir Michael Costa
saw at once the advantage of the baton
and adopted it from that time. But
the practice was much criticised both in
the case of Weber and Mendelssohn, who
used it in conducting for tho Philhar-
monic society. Prof. Ella tells mo
that Mendelssohn, in company with
Meyerbeer and Costa, were dining with
him the day after tho Philharmonic
rehearsal, and was so much annoyed at
tho impertinent remarks made by tho
leaders Of tho orchestra, who criticised
his uso of tho baton, that he was scri-
ously thinking Of giving it up, when
Ella exclaimed, with his usual strong
sense: my dear Mendelssohn, do no
such thing; don't pay any attention to
them; if you give up tho baton to please
them, it will bo put down to cowardico
on your part" Both Costa and Mover
beer urged tho leaders to set q good ex-
ample by accepting tho baton. This
decided Mcndelssohn, and he retained
the use Of the baton, which was also
used by Moscholes, and has been re-
tanned ever since.

Mrs. Gage, who was president
of tho convention, to prevent her
from speaking. They didn't want
their cause mixed with tho abolitionists

Sojourner Truth felt it borne in upon
her to speak: "Sho moved slowly to

But she looked the disapiproval down.
Nearly six feet high, her head was
thrown back, and her eyes "pierced tho

Curious Fungus Growth.

Sir Joseph Banks, tho celebrated nat
uralist, once had cask Of wine which
on tasting was found too sweet. 1t was
therefore locked up in tho cellar to
ripen. There it remained for three
years, probably during tho time he was
with Capt. Cook in his voyage around
the world. At the end Of that period
he directed his butler to ascertain the
state of the vino; but tho cellar door
could not be opened on account of
some powerful obstacle within. The
door was cut down, whom the cellar was
found to be completely filled with q
fungus so dense and firm as to require
IN ak for its removal. 1t was then dis.
covered that the fungus had consumed
every drop Of wine and raised tho
empty cask to the ceiling.
