PAGANlNi AND HIS CHILD.

How the Famous ViOlinist Furnished
Amusement for His Son.
This is tias description q friend gives OF
how he found Paganini: II went to Pa
ganini's lodgings, and can not easily de-
scribe the disorder of the whole apartment
On the table was one violin, ON the sofa an
other. The diamond snuff boxes which SOW
ereigns had given him were on the bed and
one of them among his child's toys ON the
floor; music, money, caps, watches, letters
and boots pele mele here and there; chairs,
table, and even the bed removed from their
place; q perfect chaos, and Paganini in the
midst of it A black silk hat covered his
still deeper black hair, ayellow tie loose
round the neck, and jacket Of chocolate
color hung on him as on peg. He had
Achillino in his lap, who was very ill-tem-
pered because he had to have his hands
washed. Suddenly he broke loose from his
father, who said to me, i am quite in de-
spair; l don't know what to do with him.
The poor child wants amusement, and am
nearly exhausted playing with him.
Barely were the words out Of his mouth,
when Achillino, armed with his little wooden
sword, provoked his father to deadly COM
bat Up got Paganini, catching hold OF an
um brella to defend himself 1t was too
funny to see the long, thin figure of Pagan
ini in slippers retreating from his son, whose
head barely reached up to his fathers
knees He made quite furious onslaught
on his father, who, retreating, shouted,
Enough! enough! I am wounded hut the
little rascal would not be satisfied ere he
saw his adversary tumble and fall down
vanquished on the bed. But the time passed
and we had to be off, and now the real COM
edy began He wanted his white necktie,
his polished boots, his dresscoat Nothing
could be found. All was hidden away. And
by whom. By his son Achillino
The little one gigsled the whole time,
seeing his father with long strides travelling
from one end of the room to the other seek
his clothes What have you done with all
my things he asked. where have you
hidden them! The boy pretended to bs.
very much astonished and perfectly dumb
He shrugged his shoulders, inclined his head
sideways, and mimiealy indicated that he
knew nothing whatever Of the mishap.
After long search the boot were discov-
cred under the pillowcase, the necktie was
lying quietly in one Of the Eoats, the coat
was hidden in the portmanteau and in the
drawer OF the dinner taule, covered with
napkins was the waistcoat Eve.y time
Paganini found one of the missing OF. .ects
he put it on in triumph, perpetually accom-
panied by the little man, who was delighted
to see his father looking for the things
where the child knew they could not Le
found; but Paganini's patience with him
was unwearied. New Orleans Times Demo

At the age of 20 Galileo began to discover.
His first discoveries were, of course, clumsy
and poorly made, but very soon he began to
turn out neat and durable discovery that
would stand for years. sees F
It was at this time that Galileo noticed the
swinging of lamp in church, and, OBJ
serving that the oscillations were of equal
duration, he inferred that this principle
might be utilized in the exact measurement
of time. From this little accident, years
after, came the clock, one of the most useful
of mans dumb friends. And yet there are
people who will read this little incident and
still hesitate about going to church.
Calico also invented the thermometer, the
microscope, and the proportional compass
He seemed to invent things, not for the
money to be obtained in that way, but solely
for the joy of being first on the ground. He
was a man of infinite genius and persever-
ance He was also very fair in his treat
ment of other inventors. Though he did not
personally invent the rotary motion of the
earth, he heartily indorsed it and said it was
a good thing. He also came out in card in
which he said that he believed it to be good
thing, and that he hoped some day to see it
applied to the other planets.
He was also the inventor of a telescope
that had a magnifying power Of thirty times.
He presented this to the Venetian senate
and it was used in Smaking appropriations
for river and harbor improvements.
By telescope investigation Calico discov-
cred the presence of microbes in the moon,
but was unable to do anything for it. i
have spoken of Mr.. Calico all the way
through this article informally, calling him
by his first name, but ffeel so thoroughly
acquainted with him, though there was such
striking difference in our ages that / am
almost justified in using his given name
while talking of him.
Galileo also sat up nights and visited with
Venus through long telescope which he had
made himself from an old bamboo fishing
rod. -
But astronomy is a very enervating branch
of science. Calico frequently came down
to breakfast with red, heavy eyes. eyes that
were swollen full of unshed tears Still he
persevered. Day after day he worked and
toiled. Year after year he went on with his
task, till he had worked out in his own mind
the satellites of Jupiter and placed a small
tin tag on each one, 30 that he would know
it readily when he saw it again Then he
began to look up Saturn's rings and investi.
gate the freckles on the sun. He did not
stop at trifes, but went bravely ON till every
body came for miles around to look at him
and get him to write something funny in
their albums 1t was net an unusual thing
for Galileo to get up in the morning, after a
wearisome night with fretful newborn
star, to find his front yard full Of autograph
albums. .-- ..s.-

Some Hitherto Unpublished Facts About

Galilei, commonly called Galileo, was born
at Pisa on the 14th day Of February, 1864
He was man who discovered some of the
fundamental pri cip,es underlying the move
ments, habits, and personal peeuliarities OF
the earth, He discovered things with mar
velous fuency. Born, as he was, at time
when the rotary motion Of the earth was
still in its infancy, and astronomy taught
only in a crude way, Galileo started in to
make few discoveries and advance some
theories of which he was very fond.
He was the son of musician and learned
to play several instruments himself, but not
in such way as to arouse the jealousy of the
great musicians of his day. They came and
heard him play few selections and then
they went home contented with their own
music. ----e+-e-~ A--~s 5.t ----% -~-+---~

Galileos book sold aceN on the trains
Galileo was the author of little work
called II Discarsi Dimas- Trazioni Mate
matiche Intorus Due Muove Scienza." It
was q neat little book, of about the medium
height, and sold well ON the trains, for the
Pisan newsboys on the cars were very affa-
Bile, as they are now, and when they came
and leaned an armful Of these books ON a
passengers leg and poured a long tale into
his ear about the wonderful beauty Of the
work and then pulled in the name Of the
book from the rear of the last. car, where it
had been hanging ON behind, the passenger
would most always buy it and enough Of the
name to wrap it up in.
He also discovered the isochronism of the
pendulum He saw that the pendulum at
certain seasons of the year looked yellow
under the eyes, and that it drooped and did
not enter into its work with the o.d zest. He
began to study the case with the aid of his
new bamboo telescope and wicker covered
microscope As a result, in ten days he had
the pendulum on its feet again. -
Galileo was inclined to be liberal In his re-
ligious views, and more especially In the
matter of the Scriptures, claiming that there
were passages in the Bible which did not lit
orally mean what the translator said they
did. This was where Galileo missed it So
long as he discovered stars and isochronisnas
and such things al that he succeeded. but
when he began to fool with other peoples
religious beliefs he got into trouble. He was
cedto fy from Pisa. we are told by the
historian, and We are assured at the same
time that Galileo. who had always been far,
far ahead of all competitors in other things,

destined to carry to the nearest seaport its
valuable distilled product, knowl in com
merce as, "Fine Champagne" One comes
hither across the green and comparatively
level plateau which extends parallel with
the Loire to the south of Saumur, or down
the fiat willow and poplar-set valley of the
Charente from Angonleme, which at this
season is dotted with wild flowers and
shines like emerald
Cognac has not more than Ii, ,WO or 90
coo inhabitants, and the population is one
OF the quietest and most undemonstrative in
France The place is so still that it appears
forever like Sunday in a country village
The narrow and crooked streets, grown up
from country lanes, are stony, but cars
rattle over them rarely, making the little
brandy metropolis seem like an inland
Venice. 1t surprises the stranger that there
should be anything ancient or romantic
about the name Cognac. To the American
cognac is something to sip slowly ON ac-
count OF its latent fires, or to put into his
coffee as a commonplace finale to full
