BANJO PLAYING IN FASHION.

The Baltimore Sun says: Banjo
playing is one of the fashionable
freaks of the day among ladies.
Young men have frequently to report
nowadays that the girl next door
who used to worry the piano 90 much
is now rasping the banjo. INSTRUCT
ors in banjo playing are having q
harvest. They hold that it is q very
pleasant and desirable accomplish
ment, and say that it will stay in
favor. Said teacher with whom a
reporter talked, ''The banjo has
been gradually superseding the gui-
tar for several years and ia now 30
popular with young ladies that many
OF them neglect even the piano for it.
l think the cause of its popularity is
the Jolly magnetism of its tone. A
young lady with guitar in her hands
looks sweet and pretty. but somehow
or other it is somewhat of bore for
parior full ofpeople to be compelled
to listen to Indifferent playing and to
conventionally murmur praise. Take
the same young lady and the same
company and let her play on a banjo
and mark what different effect she
will produce. Stiffness will vanish at
the first touch, and every foot and
head in the room will keep time and
every face will brighten. The young
lady herself will forget her etudied
guitar attitudes. Her eyes will sparkle
and her manner become natural,
vivacious, charming. II she plays
popular tune her friends will Join in
the chorus, and there will be merry
time all round. And when they biz
hor goodbye and go home, they'll be
in such excellent spirits that they'll
never think OF telling their escorts
thrt Miss So-and-so is indeed a very
sweet, nice girl. but then she does
put on such airs when she plays that
stupid guitarl The guitar ia senti-
mental and exclusive. while the banjo
is jolly and sooisbleI''

close to the planet so rapidly that the
inner one goes through all the changes
from new moon to old moon In less than
q day. Another interesting thing about
Mars which can now be studied is the
mysterious network Of so-cailed canals
which cover large portion ofthe planets
surface, particularly in the equatorial re-
gions. The idea that they are really canals
constructed by inhabitants of the ruddy
planet can hardly be entertained when it
is known that they are sixty miles and
more in width. One thing seems to be
pretty certain: Mars has reached q much
later stage of planetary development
than the earth, and if it has inhabitants
they may possibly have attained degree
of civilization incomprehensible to us.
At any rate it is wonderful world which
now beams as ruddy star in our winter
midnight sky.

THE CHURCH SPIDER.
Two spiderg. 50 the story gOes,

Two spiders, so the story goes,
Up0n living bent,
Entered the Westinghouse one day,
And hopefullyWere heard TO say,
Here we shall haveat least fair play
With nothing to prevent"
Each chose his place and went to work;
The light webs grew apace;
One on the altar spun his thread,
But shortly came the sexton dread,
And swept him of, and so, half dead,
He sought another place.
"Pn try the pulpit next" said he,
There surely is a prize;
The desk appears so neat and clean,
I'm sure no spider there has been;
Besides, how often have seen
The pastor brushing flies"
He tried the pulpit, but alas
His hopes proved visionary,
With busting brush the sexton came,
And spoiled his geOmetrie game,
Nor gave him time nor chance 10 claim
The rights of sanctuary.
At length, half starved, and weak and lean
He sought his former neighbOr,
Who had now grown so sleek and round,
He weighed the fraction of pound,
And looked as if the art he'd found
Of living without labor.
How is it, friend he asked, that
Endure such thumps and knocks,
While you have grown so very gross?
IT'S plain, he answered, not loss
I've met since first spun across
The contribution box.

The scab.
WoolGrower.


What about the scab? Does it still
flourish or is this enemy vanquisihed +?
Is it not terrible scourgo, both disgust
ing and expensive ? To compute the ex-
tent of its ravages in Texas is beyond our
powers of figuring. Has the scab law
been rigidly enforced in every locality
where sheep are owned? Ifso it's a con-
summation greatly to be desired. Sheep
dip advertisements are source ofincome
to the Wool GrOaoer, and will continue to
be so long as scab exists. Still, we are
unselfsh enough to have this revenue
curtailed, if caused by the extinction Of
scab In Texas.
We could, in fact, afford to let them 90,
as the space would be filed with cards
of breeders and sheep-brokers.
How much more pleasant to read of
healthy, clean sheep for sale, than. dip
warranted" to cure scab Our dip man.
ufacturers must pardon this pleasantly,
as they well know this time is some way
off It does no harm to indulge in such
lmaginings, as they may prove both in
nocent and delusive.

A RELIC.
BY HENRY FoNTAL.

A. M. LIABLE LOUIS D'ENNEMARE, AT
SoIssoNs.-My. Dear Able: My marriage
with your cousin is broken off, and bro
ken Off in the most absurd way, on &C
count of stupid joke which 1 almost
involuntarily played on my betrothed.
turn to you, my old comrade, in my
distress, for you can set me right again
and I will thank you for it as long as 1
live.
You know Gilberte, or rather you think
you know her; but does one ever know
woman?
All their opinions, their beliefs, their
ideas are so many fresh surprises. They
are full of shifts and subterfuges, contra
dictions, and inconsistencies and infatu-
ations which seem final, and are set aside
for q trifle.
need not tell you that your cousin is
religious to excess, having been educated
by the nuns at Nancy.
You know that better than I do. But
what you probably don't know is, that
she is as extreme in everything else as
she is in piety. Her imagination takes
wing like leaf whirling in the wind;
and never was woman, or rather young
girl, more easily pleased or plagued, as
sudden in her friendships as in her
diversions, and as tickle; and as pretty
as you know; and more fascinating
than pen can say-and than you will
ever know.
Very well, then, we were engaged. l
adored her as l adore her now, She
seemed to love me.
One evening 1 received a telegram,
summoning me to Cologne for a consul
tation, perhaps to be followed by an i'm
portant and difficult operation. AS 1
was to start next morning, l hurried off
to take leave of Gilberte, and to explain
WHY could not dine with my future pa
rents-in-law on Wednesday, bnt only on
Friday, the day of my return. Oh! be-
ware of Fridays; l assure you they are
fatal.
When I spoke of my departure, saw
a tear in her eye; but when announced
my speedy return, she clapped her
hands, and cried:
GLOW delightful! You can bring me
home something; q mere tri1e, a simple
keepsake; but a keepsake chosen ex-
pressly for me. You must guess what
will please me most, do you hear? Let
us see how much imagination you have"
She meditated for a few seconds, then
added 81 forbid you to spend more than
% francs. want to be pleased by your
intention-your intention, sir, not by
your extravaganza" Then, after an
other pause, she said, in low tone, her
ewes cast down: eff it costs you nothing,
in the way of money, and if its very in
genious, very dainty, I will will kiss

mysteriously as he came, and no one
knew where he went. Francois con-
tended that his physical cure was the
direct work of God as reward for faith
and prayer. He insisted that God had
forgiven his sins, and had shown His
forgiveness by removing his infrmities.
From the chapel midway up the hill
can be seen the place where the hut of
the hermit stood. The hut burned down
few years ago, and in its place was
erected the cottage occupied by the
priest who oficiates in the church on the
summit. 1t is a wild and romantic spot,
but is much changed since Francois went
there, over quarter of century ago.
