GETTING THE PITCH.
How q Musician Conquered . Raying Ma
Rull.

Self-possession in time Of danger often
wins the battle, even when one has not
many resources at command. Old David
Turton was a Yorkshire musician, of
whose oddities many instances are re-
membered. 1t is said that he was one
day walking through a pasture, when
he met a furious bull, which, catching
sight of David's red bag, made men
acing preparations TO charge upon it.
The musician did not fly, as retreat
would ill-accord with his dignity, and,
nor important still, the bass VOL that
he carried in the bag might be injured
by a precipitatc leap over the hedge.
The bull beloved, ana came on with
lowered horns.
Steady soliloquized the musician.
81 reckon that vas doubl" B nat'ral."
Again the bull beloved.
I'm pretty sure it were B." said
David again, ''but I'll max sure" and
opening the bag. he extracted the bass
viol, set it down, and, drawing his bow
across the string, produced a sound as
full of volume, and of the same pitch,
as the tone of the infuriated beast.
Il thowt ! were rect said David.
with a grim smile.
At the sound of the viol, the bull
stood still, raised his head. and glowered
at the extraordinary object before him.
David. having his viol ont, thought it a
pity to bag it again without a tune, and
began the violoncello part in one OF
Handcl's choruses.
1t was too much for the bull; he wa,
out-bellowed, and turned tail in flight

A Pretty Table Scarf.

A useful table scarf, and one that is
particularly pleasing to the eye, because
it does not suggest almost endless labor,
is made by taking a strip of all-wool
Java canvas of the proper length for the
table on which it is to be used. Line it
with som stiff cloth and then with
~silesia. At about three inches from the
outer edge sew on two strips of black
velvet ribbon two inches wide. Through
the center work a handsome scroll pat
tern, using bright yellow silk the velvet
stripes may be put on perfectly plain, or
may be worked in old-faShIoned ros
stitch, or in some modification Of feather
stitch. Finish the bottom Of the scarf
with yellow silk balls. This is suitable
for the common sitting room; 1t is so
bright that the dust can be shaken from
it with National Presbyterian.

ABOUT lAILORS.
Men Who Have Sat C~ross-Legged n
Risen to Distinction.

Risen to Distinction.
Tailors have been the butt of small
wits and large wits for generations. 1t
has come to be q well-rccognized fact on
the stage that tailors have very red
noses and very lean bodies. But the
stage does NOT, in this respect. hold the
mirror up to nature, for many tailors
have fat bodies and fat purses.
The village tailor who sits on his
board and is popularity supposed to tie
his legs up into a hard knot when
working may be scorncd by the rich,
but the tailor who has the large store in
the ~thoroughfare of a big city is a mer-
chant, and if he is wealthy is cordially
welcomed by other wealthy men.
There was i tailor Admiral in the En-
glish navy and a tailor Marshal in the
German army. The latter had a wit as
pointed as his needle. A snobbish no.
bic once asked:
Colonel, didn't YOU wear a pair of
scissors to cut cloth with?'
Yes" said the tailor-soldier, ''but

into other channels.

A few months since some Amazon
River Navigation Company sent a Bra
lillian, a most courteous gentleman, to
inspect and report upon the Arkansas
River steamers. He was intrusted to
the care of the genial Captain Nowland,
of the Hays. While the stcamer was n

ing his guest around to show him the
city, encountered a party Of friends, to
whom he introduced the foreigner as
follows: General McCardle. MIR. -;
General Harris, Mr.. -: General Catch

duction being acknowledged with pro-
