American students of nTuslc.

Professor Joachim, Of the Royal Academy
Of Music, chatted amiably about American
students. "They nave" he said. ga mis-
taken idea of the tasks which are before
them. Nearly all Of them expect to become
finished artists in a twsivemonth or SO,
whereas it takes years Of training to develop
even the greatest talent like the energy
with which they go to work, and % not
find, as it has often been said, that this en-
thusiasm soon wears itself out. 1 find ability
to work hardand to work steadily and per-
sistently nearly always go sand in hand with
my transatlantic pupils, the only trouble
being that they usually arrive two OF three
years before their time. There are admir-
able instructors in the United States, and it
would be better for the students to take ad-
vantage Of the home opportunities to their
fullest extent before coming here, for then
they would escape the drudgery, and with a
shrugl we would escape It, too. n-Blakely

The Ugly RrltIsh nulldeg.

Talking Of handy weapons, what a
frightfully convenient weapon, cheap enough
to be within the reach Of all, and carrying q
ball big enough TO makea hole like gas pipe,
is the British bulldog revolver. It has taken
more lives in its brief space Of existence than
any other form Of translation known to in
ventive genius. You don't need to cock it;
it does that for you. just pull on the trigger,
up goes the hammer and down it comes again
and the deed is done; that slight finger pull
has made a corpse and a murderer. Think Of
it and leave your gun at home. Teach the
boys to use their fists, and give the women
and old men clubs TO hit with, but put up the
self cooking revolver except for mad dogs

POORLY Lpid PLAN, Get Nret

The plans OF the Red Mems Wiewsm
have met with a sorry fate. Last Saturday
evening some one was looking at them, and
when he got through making his deduc
tions, he left the plans on a chair near the
window. This was In the third story
Of Baynard's Building. Late on Saturday
evening, rain fell and drenched the plans.
the wind also blew part OF them out of the
window. When Mr.. Baynard saw them on
Monday morning he found that the lines, on
the sheets that had not been
blown away, were blurred and run
together; in other words the plans
were spoiled. The committee would have
been in bad fix had not the blue prints of
the plans been saved. Estimates may be
made from these, which are now on exhi-
bition at Bsynard's. Bids will be received
until Thursday evening,

Tho British consul at Ningpo calls the at
tention Of British manufacturers to spinning
machines used in his district that were i'm
ported from Japan, and which he thinks will
eventually be adopted in cotton producing
countries. The advantages claimed for them
os compared with the method Of spinning
used in America are that the staple is les
injured and that the seeds are better cleaned.
This is attained by drawing the cotton te-
tween straight steel edges or knives, instead
of using saws.-ChicaGo Herald.

Notwithstanding the urgent entreaties
and protest Of the widowed empress that
no autopsy should be performed on the
body Of the Emperor Frederick, the
new emperor, disregarding the APP
pcals Of his mother, caused q post NOR
TEN examination TO he made. The post
mortcm has revealed the fact so long de.
nitd BY Sir Morell Mackenzie and other
surgeons, namely, that the Dalady with
which the late emperor was afflicted was
cancer IN It's most malignant and incura-
bic form. This being the csse, Emperor
Frederick was dcbsircd by certain
clauses IN tho Prussian constitution con.
cerning princes afflicted with incurable
maladies from succeeding to the throne,
and according 10 the letter Of the law
lis acccs ion was IN illegal net. Not
only the legality of certain acts of the
late emperor ure about 10 be called into
question. but even the rank and po-
sition Of his widow as dowager, are &C.
riously compromised, especially as re.
CARDS her appanages and title.

the checks being for $50, $50 and $50
respectively. On reaching Nashville the

Precisely at $50 o'clock Saturday
morning, the pupils in all the male pub.
lie schools in the city raised their eyes
in pleased astonishment as blne.coated
and brass-buttoned policeman entered
the school. The entrance Of IN officer
in school-room always causes q ripple
Of excitement. The astonishment would
have been far greater had il been known
in each school that at the same moment
an officer Of the law was Just opening the
door Of every other public school. OF
course, each boy was wondering what
other boy was the special object Of the
officers coming, and there was general
surprise when il was eventually dis.
covered that every boy in tie school was
10 be subjected-.as 10 his pockets and
desk--to official inspection. By q pre-
concerted arrangement between tho
school authorities and the Police De
partment an officer was detailed 10 visit
every public school at the same hour.
The object OF the move was 10 make q
search for pistols, sings, missiles, and
such other weapons as are forbidden in
the schools. There have been quite a
number Of cases in which trouble has
been caused BY such weapons in posses
sion Of school boys, and the authorities
have been fully impressed with the con.
slant danger IN which large numbers oi
scholars are daily placed by the practice.
Teachers have been very watchful in the
matter, and boys carrying pistols have

however, did not pan out very much.
