BEETHOVEN.
The Eccentricities of the Distinguished
Composer.

The Eccentricities of the Distinguished
Composer.
In 1916 Beethoven began to keep
house. and a sad kind of home he had.
He was like child in the hands of
servants and landlords, and rarely
found himself at peace with either. He
constantly changed his lodgings, and
seldom had time to get things settled
in house before it was necessary to
move again. 1t was seldom that a
servant staid more than few weeks,
and the house frequently took care of
itself. His room was generally model
of confusion. Letters strewed the floor,
and the remains of his last meal sketches
of his music, books and pictures COW
cred the chairs and tables. Sometimes
it would be weeks before he could DIS
cover a manuscript which he sorely
needed. He broke nearly everything
he touched. and sometimes upset the
ink in the piano. He loved to battle,
and frequently would stand pouring
water over his hands, shouting his mu-
sic; If any musical idea occurred, he
would rush to the table and note
iG down, SplaSuluS INC water
over everything in the room.
Every day, whatever the weather,
Beethoven took long walk; he had
his favorite haunts around the city,
and nearly all his musical ideas came
to him in the woods or meadows,
amid the trees, the rocks and the
flowers. He was never without a lit
tie book in which he wrote down
any thought which seized him; and
then at home the thought would
grow into song or symphony.
He was quiet and rapt when at the
piano; but we are told that when con-
Quoting an orchestra, his movements
were violent. At the diminuendo he
would gradually crouch lower and
lower, till he dropped entirely out of
sight, rising slowly during the cres-
cendo. when he would almost jump
into the ar With his pupils he had
the sweetest patience, repeating cor
rection over and over again; he
would always forgive wrong note
but woe to the unlucky pupil who
failed to give the right expression to
a phrase Or bar, for this the master
thought indicated lack of soul, and
this he would not forgive.-Aqattd

Little Travellers.

During the past week two children, q
boy and girl, arrived in Castle Gar
den, New York, who had travelled from
Germany alone. They had leather tags
on their necks, but no money or food.
The Commissioner of Immigration gave
the children food, and put them on the
train for their home in Minnesota,
where, before this time, they are with
their father and mother.
We often read in the papers of chill
dren who come from Europe to this
country alone, but we rarely hear Of
children going back to Europe alone.
But this week boy twelve years old
came to Castle Garden to buy ticket
for England. When questioned, he
said that he and his father worked il q
cotton mill in Massachusetts, and that
his mother and little brothers and sisters
were in England. The week before he
dreamed his mother was ill, and he
made up his mind that when he got his
months pay he would go over to En-
gland TO her. His money was given
him July ID, and he ran away at once
from his father, and got to New York,
where he was held by the proper off,
GERS until his father came after him.
OF course the boy did wrong, yet
how very anxious and homesick little
boy must get in great busy.mill town!
How lonely it must be to go home
warm, tired and hungry, and, instead
of a mothers kiss and interest, to meet
only strangers and Indifference, per-.
haps sometimes only cross word. be-
cause small boys are considered to be.
always in the way by good many big
folks who ought to have longer memo
ries, who ought to remember that they
were not always big folks.
Let us hope that this poor little En-.
glish boy was either sent to his mother,
or that he and his father will soon earn
money enough to bring the mother,
little brothers and sisters to this coun-
try, where they will all find happy
home.-C Christian Union

BIRDS AND INSECTS.

The Good Done BY the Former in Eradl-
eating Noxious Insects Greatly Exagger-
ated
We have always been in favor OF
laws for the protection of insectivorous
birds, and would include the much
abused crow in the list, believing that
all are of benefit to the husbandman in
keeping noxious insects in check. But
we can not agree with those who so
frequently assert that the great in
crease OF predaceous insects of late
years is wholly due to the decrease OF
birds. 1t is probably true that in some
localities certain species of birds have
decreased in number and in others
they have not, but really increased.
and yet noXious insects abound in
greater numbers than ever. We know
that in our grounds, where the wild
birds are protected, fed and even petted
whenever they will permit it, they have
largely increased of late years; and
still we find that they aid us but little
in destroying the most voraeious and
destructive species of insects. They
do. no doubt, collect for food
large number of caterpillars, cut
worms and the larvae of various
species of beetles and flies. some of
which are injurious to vegetation.
while others are not, and the latter
class are probably fully equal in num-
hers to the former. But birds are I'M
able to discriminate between the noN,
ious and the beneficial species, aud

PRUNING, ETC.
The Simple Principle On Which the Opera
ttOn DEPENDS.

The Simple Principle On Which the Opera
ton Depends.
The diversity of opinion which exists
among cultivators is chiefly owing to
not understanding simple principle
on which these operations depend.
Take as an illustration the practice
which is largely adopted in some
places, of ''suckering' corn. or remov-
ing the smaller side shoots which bear
no ears. The reason given for the
practice is, that they afford no gra n,
draw nourshment from the bearing
stalks. and, like weeds, crowd upon
the crop. These reasons are partly
true to certain extent. But at the
same time the suckers afford nutriment
and strength to the roots, and to re-
move them after they have become
large and are growing vigorously,
would operate in the same way as the
severe pruning of tree at midsummer
"a severe check being given to the
main plant and to it's roots. They are
unlike weeds, in that they are attached
to the main plant, and to a certain ex-
tent add to its strength, besides at
fording fodder. 1t would, however, be
desirable to send all the T yigor into the
bearing STALK, and this end may be ac-
complished (if paying for the labor) bv
removing them early in the season, or
when they are quite small. The plant
does not then suffer by the loss of
large portion of its foliage. On the
same principle the direction of growth
may be given to raspberries, blackber-
ries, and to young fruit trees, by pinch
ing off the tips of shoots instead of lop-
ping off large masses of foliage. For
like reason the needless shoots of
grapevines may be rubbed off when
only an inch or two in length, with no
harm to the vine. And as a general
| rule, and in all cases. the rule often
given is to be adopted-that for in
creasng the growth of a tree by direct
| ing it into fewer branches, the pruning
is to be performed while the tree is
| dormant, either in autumn, winter or
| early spring; while trees which are too
luxuriant in growth may have their
vigor retarded by free summer prun-
ing. But when the pruning is quite
light, the season for performing it is
not matter of much Importance

HORSES AND DRIVING.
A Tight Rein Needed If Best Work Wouls

A Tight Rein Needed If Hest Work Would
BE Secured.
The reins are the key to the animals
proper handling and development.
What would be thought of driver
on the track with slack rein and his
animal bobbing about?
The simple facts are that team un-
der good steady hand Will accomplish
abundantly more than otherwise.
speak of this because 1 am aware
that very many do not understand the
force that l am satisfied should be at
tached to it.
The teamsters of thirty or forty years
ago. when blowing and wading through
our Western sloughs. will remember
the difference in getting team over
bad place, whether they were driven
with a tight or slack rein.
l reeollect a little circumstance that
occurred over thirty years ago. that
elucidates my idea of a tight rein on
horse. 1t was Immediately after the
first rail had reached this place, and [
had gone into Chicago. in March or
April, by rail. and while at the
depot city teamster had his
team stuck in the mud. which
was plenty. near the platform of
the warehouse. There was a large
crowd of men and boys looking on,
some suggesting one thing and some
another, but while the team was a capa-
BILE one, they had evidently lost heart
in their driver and would not pull
worth a cent, although they had moth
ing but an empty wagon, which, for the
place they were in, was great plenty.
| watched him few minutes and saw
his team had lost their confidence in
their master by his slack reins and
jerking them at the bit and l got down
into the mud and asked the man to let
me try my hand with his team, which
he seemed willing to do. I took hold
of the re rs, and drew up ON them so
that | felt of their mouths, spoke sharp
to them and after trying to back them
and turning them to the right and left,
in order to get the forward wheels
clear. and give the team an idea that
they were not badly stalled, l gave
them the word 90. still holding on to
the bits strong and the result was that
they went out OF that mud hole, as the
boys say, ''kting."
Now l am not 60 ,ng to say that ght
re rs are all that is required in a good,
teamster, but it will go long way in
that diIecton.-Cor. Western Pioa0-

The Conditions Under Which Private

The Conditions Under Which Private
Ships May Make War.
A privateer is vessel which belongs
to q private owner, but sails under
commission granted by responsible
Government. and carrying authority
TO the grantee to wage war according
to the usages of naval warfare against
the power specified in the commission.
With the commission there are issued
instructions for the guidance of the
holder; and the Government may re-
qulre the deposit of certain sum or
the delivery of bond as security
against the violat on of those instruc-
tons. The Government may further
withdraw the commiss on If it has been
misused. or if the instructions it con-
tains have been disregarded; and when
such commiss ,Ons were wont to be is
sued py this country, our law held that
the owners of the vessels commissioned
light also be held liable in damages
for the consequences of such nuisance
or disregard. The war ships of neu-
trail powers are entl tied to visit priya-
teer and demand exhibition OF her COM
mission. in order that they may satisfy
themselves of its legality; and the reason
for tn S exception to the rule of the in
ternationaI law which declares that
vessels of war can not be visited, OBJ
viously is. that privateer does not
bear public character. as war ship
does. All these safeguards have been
devised, or at least all these usages
have gradually become recognized, by
civilized nations, with a view to the
prevention of very obvious risks. So
long as naval discipline is exercised on
board sh p, and so long as her move
ments are really controlled by the
State to which she belongs, some Sc
cur ty is afforded that the laws of war.
as understood between the belligerent
powers, will be observed. But neither
of these conditions has been fulfilled in
the case of privateers. The annals of
the eighteenth century tell terrible
tales of the excuses committed by pri-
vateers on the high seas. These YES
sells having got beyond the reach of
any control VIII CHI the war ships of
their own country could exercise over
them, and being manned often by des-
perate men, spared ne Their life nor
property, and sometimes made but
small discrimination between the ships
of the enemy and those of the neutral
countries. Chambers Journal.

Ladies' Shoes.

Low shoes are more worn out-oftdoors
than they have been in any previous
summer. Patent-leather is much used
for these low walking-shoes, notwith-
standing that it cracks easily and draws
unpleasantly on the feet Sometimes
only the toes or vamps are of the glossy
patent-leather, while the uppers are of
kid. The toes are medium round, and
the shoe laces on the instep; the heels
may be in the low common-sense shane.
or else medium high; the soles are as
thick as those of summer boots. For
the house the sailor-tie-or Slipper tie.
as many ladies call it's made of pat
ent-leather or of French kid, or else OF
both together; this is a very low shoe,
with the tongue passed under flaps from
the sides, that are tied together through
merely two eyelet holes They are
usually lined throughout with black
kid, or else with dark blue or red, in
stead of the white kid lining which is sos
soon stained by colored stockings. Slip.
pers in bronze kid are in great favor
for dress, and have gilt beading on the
toes. with sometimes ribbon tied over
the instep, or else attached to the back.
