A@irI once complained to her aunt
that her father did not give her any
pocket money. The amt was a kind
hearted woman, and thinking to make
} er niece happy, she presented her with
a ten-dollar bill. The young lady was
delighted, OF course, and profuse in her
thanks. Shortly after she went on n
walk, and upon her return proudly ex-
hIbited 10 her aunt a handsome purse
and a gold-mounted withdrawing pencil.
She dId not actually need either of the
articles, but they were pretty and took
her fancy. The cost of them was ST.
The peucIl was lost before many days
and as the remainiug$3 was soon frittele ed

1t should he added that this young
lady called herself an economical girl.
When she had no spending money she
could get on bravely without many
things which her soul craved. Yet our
readers can judge for themselves, from
the incidents above related, whether
she had the true idea of economy or
not.
Frugality, thrift, economy are greatly
advocated as desirable virtues. But
these do not mean simply going without
what is needed. Economy is to get the
most possible out of a dollar, not to
waste 1t, and then be driven to practice
|self-denial. There is a great difference

when the cash is spent, that II girl
has an equivalent to show for it. She
has her full moneys worth OF some
thing desirable. This is economy. The

pended that she might almost as well

1t is not difficult to acquire habits of
true economy, but the practice OF 1t
should begin with small sums-the
dimes and quarters-and childhood is
the time to tako the first lesson.

An event of considerable Importance
has occurred in a little farmhouse a
few miles from Canton, Ohio, within a
few days. Mrs. Devices spoke to her
husband. This is what she said:-
civilian! l believe l am dying"
However, she did not die, and she is
now nearly well again. But the fact
that she spoke at all to her husband has
greatly excited those who are acquaint-
ed with the old couple. They are past
threescOre. This Is the first time eth
er has spoken to the oth9r for nearly a
quarter of a century, though each has
spoken to other persons daily all the
while.
Nearly twenty-five wears ago Mrs.
Devices desired her husband to do Il
triiing thing which he regarded as eth
er impossible or unwise, and he refused.
She, becoming petulant with ~disapp0int-
ment, rashly exclaimed
"lf you don't III never speak to you
again as long us live%'
81 not only will not do it," he said,
aroused to anger, ''but l will not speak
TO you until you speak first to me.''
The issue thus joined lasted longer
than either imagined it would. Until
the recent night spoken of neither Mr..
nor Mrs. Devices ever uttered n word
to the other. The quarrel was soon
over, and the best Of feeling was resum-
ed between them. They have lived to-
gether ever since, contented and har-
mOnious, the only cloud upon their hap
piness being their silence towards each
other. But eve that has had its adj
vantages. When Mr.. Devices wanted
to say anything to his wife he would
say, for example, to one of the children:
Jennie, tell your mother | wish she
would sew another button on my over
alls. Orthemother would s~ay:-"John,
tell your father to bring some sugar,
oil, pepper, and a spool of thread, No.
60, from town to-day" AT first it was
difficult for them to repress the impulse
to speak to each other, but, being per-
son of strong viii, they stuck doggedly
to their resolutions until habit made it
easy to do so.
''Yes," said Mr.. Devices toa neighb0r
one day, ''we have not spoken for pref
ty near twenty-five years. 1t has some
times been a little inconyenicnt, and,
Of course, it seems silly to most people;
but it has been a blessing to us in some
ways. That one quarrel was our last.
l know from my disposition and hers
that, if we had kept on talking, we
should also have kept on quarrelling
more or less. Possibly we'd have got
worse, because we are both pretty high
strung, and it might have gone 50 far
that we'd have been divorced"
On the night when the silence was
broken Mrs. Devices had been i'll for
several days, and about l O'Clock in the
morning she awOke in great pain, and
thought her end had come. In her ag-
ony She called to her husband

The mountain was in a state of erup-
ton on February the l1th. Almost
sixty eruptions of Mount Etna are re-
corded, the most notable within the last
hundred years being those of 1902, 1911,
1919, and 1893. The first of these con-
tinued an entire year, the streams of
lava then being thirty feet deep. Dur
ing the last one mentioned, there opened
on the sides Of the mountain many fam
ing mouths in the midst of tremendous
explosions and commissions, prodigiOus
discharges of ashes, cinders, and lava,
which oyerran miles of cultivated fields
and threatened the town Of Bron with
ruin. Tie riyerof lava vas then TWEEN

overtopped the walls OF CataniasNay

like a frozen torrent. On that occasion
much of the city and 1900 of its in
habitants were destroyed. The earliest
eruption mentioned in history was 47G
years before the Christian era. Forty
years later a vast volume of water isre-
ported to have rushed down the noun
tain side. 1t was supposed to have come
from the crater, showing apparently,
the connection between the y~olcanOand
the sea. A great eruption occurred in
1852, when mighty clouds of ash-grey
dust were expelled, covering the whole
surrounding country. From two new
mouths on the eastern flank issued tor
rents of lava, II moving towards Zaf-
farana, the other towards Clara. One
stream was two miles broad, in some
places 170 feet deep, flowed 600 feet in
an hour ordinarily, but when it APP

like a fiery cascade.

rcutuei, TO the Spanish Peaks. the two
northern sentiuels OF the Rockies, That
morning when / awOke / found myself
as near to them as the evening before |
had been to Pixies Peak. They we're no
longer dim, blue, delicately defined out
lines, but vast, substantial mountains
rising out Of the plains in lonely gran
deur. They rise harmouiously together,
almost perfect cones II, 720 feet. then
enc shoots up alone another l 200 feet.
On the other side of the valley the hills
aud mountains gather thick and fast as
the train moved steadily on. Tue
light IN the valley was still dim, but the
mountains on either hand were being
clothed in mellow gold, and the snow
capped SUBMITS OF the Spanish Peaks
were like FURNISHED silver. Several
hundred feet above us, cutting tie sides
OF the mountain, | could trace a fine
and regularly ascending line. 1t was
tie track over which we we're to gain
the pass.
Gracefully the train swept around
the Muleshoe, so called because of its
sudden and narrow curve, like a mules
shoe; passing over the curve, we changed
our course completely, going directly
back, but going higher with every foot.
And so We went, back asd forth, higher
and higher up, till the first line of track
by the brook IN the valley was out Of
sight. Brighter grew the sky and
wider and wider our horizon the
line seemed to lift and pass farther

across the sky III quick succession from
the East, a splendid aurora heralding
the coming sun; and just as we reached
the summit he rose m~agnihceDtly above
the horsou. The sight was worth all
the journey.
Before We reached the summit
we had passed the snow line,
and now we stood 2 400 feet
above the sea and on the borders of the
winter land. Snow was all about us;
lie trees were white and shiyering; the
ali was sharp and crisp and clear.

The Fremonts at Home.

\ correspondent from New York
says, | had the pleasure the other day of
taking a midday luncheon with General
John C.'Fremont and Mrs. Fremont at
their pleasant home in New Brighton,
L. 1. Tw%enty-eight years ago l made
their acquaintance during that memoir
able campaign when the young "Path-
finder'' was surrounded by the enthusi-
astic youth of America, and this | had
renewed more recently since their
settlement in New York. The resi-
dence Of the Fremonts IS a modest
white house p0rched high on the inside
Of the broad road that winds through
trees along the New Brighton beach,
and Its front windows command a wide
reach Of the New York Bay and the
estuary of the Kill Won Kull. There
are two sons and a daughter in the
house of Fremont. The oldest son,
John Charles, or Jack" as he is
familiarity called at home, lives, with
his handsome wife and two sturdy
boys, up the Hudson. He is in the
navy and his duties are connected with
the arrival and departure of SHIPS in this
harbor. His youngest brother, Frank,
is a lieutenant in the army, stationed
up i'll Montana Territory; whittier he
has taken the young wife he recently
captured in New York-a daughter of
John ID, Townsend, the lawyer. Both
of the boys closely resemble their
father. "Whem Frank went West"
said Mrs. Fremont, II suggested that
he stop and call on General Sibley,
in Minnesota, who had never seen him.
He did it; called in citizens dress, and
said: General Sibley, who am [?
You're a Fremont said the General;
there's 40 mistaking you. How is
your fatherT'' The sons are both tall,
black-haired, black eyed and bearded
like a pard,n ana they both, like their
sister, show strains Of their Gallo
blood-the influence Of their grand
father, the poor, scholarly French
gentleman who came to Virginia at the
beginning of the century and found
their grandmother in her teens.
Mrs. Fremont, that 'Jessie Benton"
the mention Of whose name i'll the
notable campaign of IS always evoked
a cheer, holds her own remarkably well.
1t doesn't seem possible that she could
have made her famous runaway match
nearly forty-three years ago. She was
a handsome blonde when she ran away
from the headquarters of cold Bullion"
in Washington, and joined the fortunes
of the young explorer; 0 her hair is
as white as snow, but she shows few
indications of aging and talks as
brilliantly as ever.

hours "a day.

The less highly wrought and intense.
compositions which constitute the aver
age type Of ~polonaise by Chopin sug-
gests the idea Of u brilliant and pictu-
rescue procession of men and women in
rich costumes, of gay head dresses and
flowing scarfs, the clank of swords and
spurs, and the flash of diamonds; but
with Chopin the march is not in the
ballroom but in the battlefield. His
PolOnaise is Poland in revolt against
tyrants OF IN mourning for her sons who
have fallen in the strife; for In most of
the polonaises the two feelings are blend
ed or contrasted; nor is the feminine
element absent from them. The tur-
moil and strife Of one is interrupted by
a graceful and delicate mazurka, like
the surviving memory of happy days,
soon to be brushed aside again in the
conflict; in another, the great one in a
flat, the shout of a whole people for
freedom and f|atherland, is followed by
the march past of the army, drums
beating and colors flying, and the re-
sumption of the song Of liberty at the
close. Or all Tyrtaan strains that have
ever been written, this "a little hack
neyed, of course now, through being
overplayed), is surely the widest and
most stirring, while the heroic and chiv-
alrous character of the principal motif
raises it almost to the dignity of a mar
tial hymn; martial yet courtly," for
even In his herOics Chopin always
maintains the tone of distinction, of
nobility; nor does he in this ardent
piece of music ever for a moment lose
his II and grasp of artistic form;
every note is in its place, everything, is
finished down to the minutest detail.
Had he been known only by this and
his "FGneral March" which is equally
grand in style, he would probably have
been regarded as one of the greatest of
composers, over the loss of whose other
works we could only mourn. Taking
his compositions en- masse, We recognize
that there is a limit to his range which
must prevent his taking the highest
rank; that he could only move freely in
his W special path; and his concertos
and sonatas, considered as wholes, show
that the classic forms of composition
fettercd him and dulled the edge of his
musical fancy ana lntertered with the
cunning of his workmanship to some
extent But he remains a remarkable
and indeed unique example of a COM
poser who has achieved all but the high
est place by works on a small scale and
written for an instrument in some
senses very limited In its power of ex-
preston, while his character as man
and artist forms an instructive COM
ment on that form of yulgarity which
regards the possession of genius as an
excuse for %slovenly habits and uncour-
teous manners-a superstition which
has done much at different times to Sc
parate art and society, to the detrIment
of both, but often much more from the
fault Of the artists than the latter are
at all willing to believe.

PEOPLE WILL TALK.

IOu may get through the world but tWlll
be very slow,
IF you listen to all that is said as you go;
You'll be worried and fretted and kept In
n stew
For meddlesome tongues must have some
thing 10 do,
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have it presumed
That your humble position Is only assumed
You're a wolf in Sleeps clothing, or else
you're n fool;
But don't get excited-keep perfectly cool
For people will talk.
And then If you show the least boldness of
heart,
Or a slight inclination to take your own
part,
tney will ca | you an upstart, conceited
and vain;
keep straight ahcad-don't stop to OK
plain
For people will talk.
If t~hreadbare your dress, or old fashioned
your hat,
Some one will surely take notice ofthat,
And hint rather strong that you can't pay
your way;
But don't get excited, whatever they say
For people win talk.
If your dress is the fashion, don't think to
escape,
For they c%riticise then in n different shape;
Your ahead of your means, or your tailor's
unpaid;
But mind your own business, there's
naught to be made,
For people will talk.
Now, the best way to do is to do as you
please,
For you mind, if your have one, will then
