How Nine. Nilsson Raised Her Price.
London World1

Some fifteen or sixteen years age, when
Soirees were tlourishing, when the anna
teurs had not yet learned to do W thout
the artists, when, during the summer
season. some hundred private concerts
were given, Nine. Nilsson was in the
zenith OF her first success at her ma 'es-
tvs, and was, of course, much invited
to such parties. One day she asked
could not give her an advice how to
get paid better without offending Nine
liet ems, who was then the female chief
of the troupe. and took the now ridicul-
ous price to which yet hope we will
return Of % pounds sterling.
| said; You can not ask more than
Nine. Tiet ems, anyhow; but what you
can do is to refuse all these soirees when
ever you are asked, and say that the re-
hearsals, etc fatigue you to = \ an
extent that you can not go to those late
parties and then get up early for the
rehearSals" And how will that help
me-" she asked "In this way You
say that you don't want to go, and that
in order to be left alone you demand 60
pounds sterling; that you know very
well nobody will pay it, but tEat hat is
just what you want. Believe me- there
are number of people who wi take
you just because you ask go pounds
sterling, and you can then pose AS a
victim who did all you could to yet out
of it, but the people would not let 70 .
Not week passed, and she was engaged
for party in Grosvenor square, and
played the whole scene Just as arranged,
and, Just as expected, the people paid
her.
The funniest part of the story is, that
when she did sing a friend of mine,
Jules Le.ort, who sang in the same
party, came home and told me the whole
story of the so poandS sterling, and the
reluctance of Nilsson, who was too weak
to stand the fatigue, etc. Eut the evil
consequence was that the moment she
went up with her price the Others did
the same, aud there was the end of a bic
party with great namos, except for thosu
rich enough and willing to spend an
enormous sum. And that is what
brought the amateurs forward to stag
for nothing; then they came from tbs
drawing room to the concert-room; ther
they found that royalties were a very
agreeable things to pocket and they be-
gan writingpolkas and valses and songs
and now there is no saying what they
will not do.

A newspaper correspondent describes
the American watch mauufactory at

astonishing minuteness of somc yery

looking like iron filings, or grains of
pepper from pepper caster-apparently
