A Young Pianist's Plight.

New York Tribune.
Some years ago, it is related, a young plan
ist was about to give consert in one of the
European capitals. Although she had never
seen the great Hungarian composer, she was
tempted TO insert in the programme she sent
out the alluring notice; Pupil of Liszt,"
deeming herself perfectly safe from detec-
ton, as the musician was far away. Just be-
fore the day OF the consert she took up an
newspaper, and, TO her horror, among the
names of the arrivals at a certain hotel in the
city, she read that of "the Able Liszt"-
What was she to do? To confess her fraud
openly at the onset of her musical career
would be to crush it at once A straightfor-
ward plan suggested itself Acting upon it
she went to the hotel, asked to see the Able,
and threw herself on his mercy. List asked
her few questions, and then requested her
to play one of the pieces she intended to per-
form at the concert. While she did so he
stood over her, suggesting apause here or
correcting forte there At the conclusion
of the piece List said: Nov, Mademoiselle,
you can truthfully say that you are pupil
of List, for you have had you first lesson.
You may also put on your programme that
you will be assisted by your master, who will
play two pieces at your concert" List kept
his promise, and by his disinterested kind
ness saved the girls reputation.

An Arithmetic Lesson.

The school teacher is poorly paid for his
wearisome work of imparting wisdom to his
pupils ifmany of his pupils are like the one
described in the following dialogue:
The boy found it difficult to understand
simple arithmetic.
Teacher-"Suppose, Fritz, you have stock
ing on one foot, and you put another
stocking on the other foot"
Fritz-"I never wear stockings"
Teacher-"Suppose your father has one
pig in pen, and he buys another pig, and
puts it in the pen, how many pigs will there
be in the pen 2"
Frilz-"Dad don't keep no pigs"
The teacher blew heavy sigh from his
tired lips, wiped the perspiration from his
scholastic brow, 'and went at it again with
renewed courage.
suppose, Fritz, you have one jacket, and
at Christmas your father makes you a pres.
ent ofanother jacket, how many jackets will
you have then"
Fritz-"He amt that kind of father He
never gives me nothin' for Christmas"
Suppose your mother gives you one ap-
pie, and you have one already, what will
you have then?"
Frilz-"Stomachache. Our apples are
cookin' apples"
The teacher was not man TO be discourag-
ed by trifles. He began TO suspect that Fritz
was not well up in arithmetic, but he resolv-
ed to make one more effort, so he said:
Fritz, if a poor little beggar boy has a
cake, and you give him one more cake how
many will he haveY'
Fritz-"I dunno, cause l cat my own
cakes"
Then the teacher told the children to go
out and play.

WISHES.

Whatever you want, If you wish for it long,
With constant yearning and fervent desire,
If your wish scars upward on wings so strong
That they never grow weary and never tire,
Why; over the storm-clouds and out of the dark
1t shall come flying some day to you,
AS the dove with the olive-branch flew to the
ark
And the dream you have cherished, it shall
come true.
But, lest much rapture should make you mad,
Or too bright sunlight should make you blind,
Along with your blessing a something sad
Shall. come like a shadow that follows behind.
Something unwelcome and unforeseen,
Yet OF your hope and wish part,
Shall stand like sentinel in between
The perfect Joy and the human heart.
wished for a cloudess and golden day;
1t came but looked from my windows to see
A giant shadow which seemed to say:
IF you ask for the sunlight you must take
me-"
Oh, wonderful thing is the human will
When serving one purpose and seeking one
end;
But think it wiser just to sit still
And accept whatever the gods may send.

the dense tropical forests of South America,
and which has q tail four times its own size.
1t is a night,jar, and belongs to the great
family OF goat-suckers, and is not often mot
with, being rather unsociable Though the

digiously long, measuring no less than from

Business Law in Daily Use.

Our Society Journal
The following compilation of business law
contains the essence of Il large amount of
legal verbiage:
If note is lost or stolen it does not re-
lease the maker; he must pay it ifthe consid-
Grafton for which il was given and the ac-
count can be proven
Notes bear interest only when so stated.
Principals are responsible for the acts of
their agents.
Each individual in a partnership is respon-
sible for the whole amount OF debts of the
firm except in cases of special partnership.
Ignorance of the law excuses no one.
The law compels no one to do impossible
ties.
An agreement without consideration is
void; note made on Sunday is void; con-
tracts made on Sunday cannot be enforced.
A note made with minor is void a con-
tract made by a minor is void contract
made with lunatic is void.
note obtained by fraud or from per-
son in n state of intoXica,ion, cannot be col
lected.
1t is fraud to conceal fraud.
Signatures made with pencil are good in
law.
A receipt for money is not always conclu-
sve
"Value received" is usually written in a
note, and should be, but it is not necessary.
II not written, it is presumed by the law, or
may be supplied by proof.
The maker of an accommodation" bill or
note tone for which he has received no con-
sideration, having lent his name or credit for
the accommodation of the holder is bound to
all other parties precisely as il there was u
good consideration.
No consideration is sufficient in law if it be
illegal in its nature.
Checks or drafts should be presented dur
ing business hours, but in this country, ex-
cept in the case of banks, the time extends
through the day and evening.
If the drawer of a check or draft has
changed his residence the holder must use all
reasonable diligence to find him.
If one holds check as payee or otherwise,
transfers it to another, he has a right to insist
that the check be presented that day, or at
the farthest the day following.
A note Endorsed in blank (the name of the
endorser only written) is transferable by
delivery, the same as if made payable to
bearer.
The time of payment Of note must not de-
pend upon contingency. The promise must
be absolute.
A bill may be written upon any paper or
substitute for it, either with ink or pencil.
The payee should be distinctly named in the
note, unless it is payable to bearer.
An endorsee has a right of action against
all whose names were on the bill when lie
received it.
If the letter containing protest of non
payment be put in the post-ofilce, any mis-
carriage does not affect the party giving
notice.
Notice of protest may be sent either to the
place of business or of residence of the party
notified.
An oral agreement must he proved by evil
dence. A written agreement proves ITSELF
The law prefers written to oral evidence, be-
cause of its precision.
No evidence may be introduced to contra
dict or vary written contract; but it may
be received in order to explain it when the
contract is in need ofexplanation.

The Oldest Bank Note.

The Oldest bank note in existence in
Europe is one preserved in the Asiatic
Museum at st. Petersburg. 1t dates from
the year 1899 B. c., and was issued by the
Chinese Government. 1t can be proved
from Chinese chroniclers that, as early as
2697 B. c., bank notes were current in China
under the name of "fying money" The
bank note preserved at st. Petersburg bears
the name ofthe imperial bank, date and num-
Der OF issue, signature of mandarin, and con-
tans even list of the punishments inflicted
for forgery of notes, This relic of a, 900 years
ago is probably written, for printing from
wooden tablets is said to have been introduce
ed in China in the year 100 A. D.

Spare the Broom.

In many families carpets are worn out more
rapidly by the INSCRIPTIONS use of the broom
than by any other means. If the good man
of the house, coming in from the dusty street,
chooses, instead of going around to the kitch-
en- door, to walk straight through the sitting
room, something like half dozen graysh
spots will mark his footsteps across the car
pet Up jumps the wife, brings the broom
and vigorously "persuades" the dust clear out
through the kitchen-perhaps the passage al
so-fnally ejecting it at the outside door,
Returning, she sits down at her sewing, and
soon detects herself scattering few shreds
and small cuttings on the carpet. These are
too insignificant for the rag bag, so the broom
is again called in requisition this time to do
the duty of fingers, Next come in the little
ones with their after-school lunch of crackers
and gingerbread. Ofcourse crumbs are drop
ped upon the carpet, and forth again comes
the omnipotent broom. So it goes have
known a woman to brush out" room five
times in an afternoon A great improve
ment to this old fashion is to have light
carpet brush and small japanned dust-pan
hung away in some convenient corner, then
when dust or litter calls for removal it can be
taken up on the spot with almost no otfense
to the carpet, and without the trouble of
dragging it through one or two rooms. The
brush should have long handle for those to
whom it is fatigue to stoop. Threads and
bits of cloth should be picked up by the hand
if the carpet is considered worth preserving
as long as possible.
