italian pipers trudging along the road

said to myself. here is chance to note
down something fresh from the Tyrol; and
as they prepared to play right in front OF
me l took out pencil and paper and noted
down the time. My disappointment can
DO imagined when found with the ex-
ception of the opening eight or 10 bars
the tune was "Olimbing up tho Golden
Stairs" These fellowa had evidently
picked up this popular air from hearing
the bands ct summer hotels play It and
moonlight banjo parties sing it; and I
have no doubt the pipsrs have by this
tins returned TO, their native land and
that the tune will soon return TO us as a
veritahle italian melody. One fellow
played the melody on o Kind of oboe, and
the other accompanied him on a sort of
bagpipe. This incident made quite an
impression upon me !; for o little while
previous, after playing my own arrange
ment of Cuban dance, was asked BY a
distinguished New York musical critic

popular German students song. Not
having seen the notes Of the German YER

the two melodies are identical, or merely

and had interviews with the prineipslB OF

showing the extent and injury OF the
cigarette practice among young boys.

The EyIl Of Novel itonding.

"The mischief Il voraoious novel read.
ing" says the London Spectator, sis
really much more like the mischief of
dram drinking than appears at first sight.
IL tends TO make all other literary nour-
ishment intolerable, just as dram drink
ing tends to make all true food intoler-
able, and to snpersede food by drink.
The vorGeious novel reader of today, as
we have said, rejects Scott, because
Scotts novels contain so much good food
that Is mere story telling. The genuine
novel reader detests what he calls tame
stories --stories in which the interest ia
not exaggerated md piled up ten times as
high as this interests of ordinary lifs. He
wants always to be feeling thrill of ex-
oitement running through his nerves
always to be living in imagination through
the concentrated essences OF the perilR
Of hundred lives, instead Of toiling
calmly through the ordinary hopes end
fears Of one. No state of mind can be
more unwhulesome, because none is more
calculated 70 divert the enargies from the
sort of quiet tasks TO which they should
be haSi,ually applied, and to keep them
stretched on the tenter hooks of expscta

the habit OF exciting novel reading leads
to fatty degeneration Of the literary mind
II e., to aM unhealthy and spasmodic

tive cure for this habit Of literary dram
drinking--s cure not always forthcoming
lis moral shock of some kind which

Henry Olews in his new book, tells
several good anecdotes Of the witty slut
terer, William II. Travers, some of which,
though not all are new, are worth repro
ducinR. A. T. Stewart, .he world re-
nowned retail dry goods merchant, was
elected on one occasion to preside at q
meeting OF citizens daring the war period,
Travsrs being among the number present.
When Mr.. Stewart took his gold pencil
case from his pocket and raped with its
head on the table for the meeting to come
to order, Trayers called out in an audible
tone, s'G.cash |" which brought down the
house, and NO one laughed more heartily
than Mr.. Stewart, although 1t was q
severe thrust o. himself. His wit, like
that Of Tom Hood, did not forsake him,
even IN his last hours. While on his
desthbed at Bermuda friend called TO
see him, and SAID: "WhRt nice place

The modes of deaths approach are va

more persons die from diseases of the
throat and lungs than any other. 1t is
probable tina. everyone, without exception,
receives vast numbers of tubercle germs
into the system, and where these germs
fall upon suitable soil they start into life
and develop, at first slowly, and is shown
by slight tickling sensation in the throat,
and if allowed to continue their ravages
they extend to the lungs, producing con
sumption, and to the head, causing
catarrh. Now all this is dangerous, and II
allowed to proceed will in time cause death.
