Hail Fellow Well Met,

Just after tho religious reporter
came in from meeting last night a
ministerial gentleman callod, and
placed tho following item on his desk:
IA hailstone fell this evening ut tho
corner Of Twelfth street and Sixth
avenue south, six inches long. four
inches wide, and three inches thick,
weighing twenty one ounces"
'Do you call that hail itom?"
asked tho religious reporter. "You
must be ST. Paul man. If you are

size of the city. Tho census is out

pound hailstonc goes in this burg.

cs in diameter on Washington avenue
myself, and it isn't good street for
hai!stones either. Twenty-ono ounces,

''On Portland avenue a ha;lstOne fell
as long as plumbers bill and as thick
as tho padding in the St. Paul census
returns. A rumor went out that pet
riiied sea serpent had fallen, but it
proved to be only hailstone which
had come down sideways and be come
stretched.
IA well-known lawyer of tho city
found on the sidewalk the morning after
recent storm d hailstonc about three
inches thick. 1t must havo been there
all night, and must have been as many
feet in thickness when it fell. How do
know? Because tho lawyers ice man

How Schumann Became !. Con,

~ SS""A AS1"hc u NViIIDOSef.
When tho time came for Schumann
to graduate and determine hls profes.
sion, every emotion within him prompt.
Cd him to adopt n musical career; but
his mother was determined lie should
choose tho law. She felt how few
achieve success in SO difficult and un.
certain profession as music, and sho
feared her son would be unable to sup.
port himself. Schumann, on tho
other hand. feared nothing so much
as to be untrue to his highest light,
and that light pointed steadily toward
music. Money was as nothing to him
II only he could devote himself to his
art; and hc had faith in himself, ho
fclt that he should be successful. Ie
knew that 1t would require steady and
persistent toll, but he believed that in
tho end ho would make Il musician of
himself. Finally, he persuaded his
mother to place the decision in tho
hands of Friedrich Wieck, friend
and well-knOwn musician, Schumann
agreeing that if, after six years of
work ut tho piano, he gave no sign of
success. he would turn to the practice
of law. Wieck, after warning Schu-
mann of the inccssant and almost dis.
couraging work which lay before him,
advised him. If he were willing to
brave all this, to become musician.
Schumann now made his home ut
Lcipsic, where he attacked his work
with great enthusiasm, practic:ng all
day. In his anxiety to attain success,
he invented q machine which was ln-
tended tor the equal training oi every
finger; by this contrivance, his third
finger remained mp IN a vertical posi-
ton, while ho played with the others;
but tho tendons became so strained
that he lamcd the troublesome finger,
and all thought of a career as pian-
ist had to be put aside. Poor Sclu-
man! after all his struggles and sacri-
ficcs, was this to DO tho end? We can
we'll imagine the gloom which opprcss.
cd him, rs he felt that his brilliant
hopes were crushed. and everything
pointed 10 tho law. But music claim
cd him: ho could not escape. and now
he began TO compose. He had always
been rather se!f-willcd, and suffered
from having no ono to guido his musi-
cal education. Unfortunately he had
almost neglected musical composition,
but now he set about to repair his mis-
take. lie should have grown up in
this part of his art, and he was never
quite compensated for the II ear
