GRAGK-NuI SUNDAY.

In a recently published
handbook TO Kingston-upon-
Thames is the following
curious statement illustrating
the ways of old, viz:
Until recent period the
congregation at the parish
church used to crack nuts
during the performance of
divine service on the Sunday
next before the eve of St.
Michael's Day co Sept. }
The custom was thought to
have some original connection
with the choosing of the
corporate body on Michael
mas Day, and with the usual
civic feast attending that
proceeding. The day was
known as Crack-Nut Sunday,
and the custom was not re-
strained to the junior branches
of the congregation, but was
practiced alike by young and
old. In fact the cracking
noise was often so powerful
that the minister was obliged
to suspend his reading or
discourse, etc.-En.

The report of the meeting

gently as possible, the young

editor thought his copy too
rich for a newspaper, and
suggested that he confine his
labors to magazine writing

JUMPED AT THE CHANGE.

"See here. Why can't [
get a posish on some daily
paper?" remarked a youth
acquaintance to a reporter on
a Cincinnati daily.
"What kind of a position
do you wish?'
: "Reporter, of course. l
am out of work and do not
see any opening before spring
and that is too long to wait,
you know
''Did you ever do any
newspaper work?'
''No. But | know | could
do good work. | never failed
in anything | ever undertook,
and if | conld only get Il
footing ! would be all right.
| could just find news enough
any day to fill any paper in
the city,
The reporter suggested that
he would be good man to
have. He could gather the
news and the rest of the local
force could be kept busilv at
writing it up.
"Now, | would just like to
try my hand. | would be
willing to work a day or two
for nothing. Pshaw, what
trouble would there be in
writing a column any day?'
The reporter admitted the
ease with which it could be
done. With a view to taking
some of the conceit out of the
rather excellent young man
the reporter told him there
was a temperance meeting
that afternoon, and it would,
perhaps, be a good test if he
would drop in and write it up.
The would-bereporter jumped
at the chance. The meeting
was at 4 o'clock. At half
past 5 O'Clock the young man
went to a hotel sitting-room
to write up his report. At
few minutes to 10 O'Clock
he submitted for the reporters
inspection the following:
"The Women's Christian
Temperance Union Asso-
citation met this afternoon,
accordingto adjournment, and
there was a big crowd present
to see what they would do.
A lady presided and called
the meeting to order, and the
choir sang a great many
most beautiful hymns on the
organ and cornet. A Mr..
Mason Long, noted gambler
and drunkard, made a speech
for an hour and three minutes,
and said how he had drank
and played in FIT. Wayne,
and the Muphys converted
him from the awful path in
which he was running to ruin.
Sometimes the meeting would
be crying, thewomen anyhow,
which are more easily moved
to tears than their brothers,
the sterner sex, and some
times there would be roars of
laughter from the men. Mr..
Long should be brought to
Cincinnati again, where there

GRAND OPERA.

81 don't know. "
"Why are some operas
called grand, while others
are not so designated? 1t
seems to me that if Il COM
poser could write grand opera
he would never write any
other kind"
"Well, you see, it is only
by experience that a composer
can determine whether or not
an opera is grand. If, upon
first production, the music is
beyond the abilities of the
singers and the audience, it is
grand. The weary yawn of
a man does more, my son, to
determine the value of an
opera than the highest recon-
mendation from a professional
critic of music. If, though,
the singer can climb to the
summit of emergency, and if
the audience is pleased, the
opera is not grand and COM
poser goes away dissatisfied,
disappointed and disconsolate.
Sometimes the composer can
correct the mistake brought
to light on the proof-sheet of
first production. On one
occasion a great composer
produced an opera which he
hoped would be grand, but
there was so much music in
it, the singers did so well,
and the audience went into
such fits of rapture and
spasms of enjoyment the
composersaw his workdoomed
to a hayward life of inferior
appreciation. After the per-
Torrance he took the opera
and sat up all night crossing
out the music and marking
in raps flats and guinea-hen
sharps. He went with high
hope the next night to get a
revise. The audience became
restless. Men began to talk
business. A harness and
buggy dealer from a neighbor-
ing town sold three buggies,
two sets Of harness and
figured extensively Oh an
omnibus trade. Women drew
their cloaks around their shout
ders and shivered. The voices
on the stage broke and fell
in shattered fragments. The
composer went away happy.
His opera was grand
''Did the people continue
their patronage after the
music was marked out and
the opera pronounced grand?'
"Bless your ignorance,
