l~LeadYile Journal
Without doubt the largest house that
ever greeted a Leadville performance was
that which witnessed the great Haverly
show at the opera house last evening.
Not only every seat up and down stairs,
but every inch of standing room was &C.
cupied by the 1900 persons present, be-
sides which some two hundred disap-
pointed applicants were turned away.
The performance more than justified the
expectations of the audience and was the
finest of its kind ever witnessed in Lead
vile Every one of the performers was
good, and it would be a most difficult
task to specify their excellencies. The
comedians were exquisitely funny. and
furnished an i~nexhaustible fund of am
psement to the audience. The ballads
we're exquisitely rendered, receiving. as
they deserved, numerous encores. The
Metropolitan Quintette showed the per-
feet training of their fine voices.
This company appears at the Cheyenne
opera house Tuesday evening.

An Ingenious Time Table.

An Omaha paper says that the Bur
lington has Just issued a very novel and
practical time table, covering the route
from Chicago to Denver and Cheyenne.
The plan embodies a schedule with notes
on the towns and country accompanying
and distances from the initial point
practically a combination time card and
guide book. From five t 100 lines are
placed opposite the columns devoted to
the time table, descriptive of the towns,
so that the passengers are not compelled
to ask any questions regarding the name,
size, origin or support of the villages
or towns along the line. All notable fea-
lures in the history of a place are given.
also industries and much other valuable
information. 1t is probably one of the
happiest combinations of practical and
descriptive railroad literature that has
been compiled in the history OF railway
publications.

One of the Mistakes of Culture"
[Cor. Kansas City Times.

I once knew intimately two violinists
One had wrist like steel spring in
it's strength and fiexibility. His fingers
were supple and strong. He could not
produce a bad tone if he tried. He
played easily and almost without effort
and to me his playing was the most ex-
quisitely beautiful | remember to have
heard. Still he had not taken the
pains to study any particular school
systematically and he was never al
lowed by professionals to possess any
merit. The other had a stiff wrist and
clumsy fingers. He used his wrist, of
course, but his lowing in rapid pass
ages was never distinct and his exc u
ton while exactly according to SpOhr
was more for the eye than the ear.
Yet he was the pet and pride of pro-
fessionals and consequently of the
critics.
I have frequently sat thro gh an
opera near professionals. | heard moth
ing about beauty, but much OF how GER
tain tones were placed and sc. ected, !"
whether they came from the throat or
the roof of the mouth or the chest.
Perhaps | am not up to the tension of
culture required to understand art, but
I cannot admit that means are greater
than ends / can not forget that method
which does achieve beauty is less adj
mirable than beauty without method.
The fault is not confined to musicians.
In painting, the DRAMA literature, re-
ligiOn and decorative art we hear more
of schools than Of essential beauty. All
criticism is pervaded by this mechanical
Judgment 1t strikes me that we ought
to be more concerned with results than
with methods.

The Good Spiders Do.
boston Budget. ]

DR.. G. Keller, of Zurich, claims that
spiders perform an important part in the
preservation of forests by defending the
trees against the depreuations of
aphides and insects. He has examined
a great many spiders, both in their
viscera and by feeding them in captiv-
ity, and has found them to be voracious
destroyers of these pests; and he be-
lieves that the spiders in particular
forest do more effective work of this
kind than all the insect eating birds
that inhabit it.
He has veri ed his views by observa-
tions on coniferous trees, a few broad
leaved trees and apple trees An i'm
portant feature of the spiders opera
tons is that they prefer dark spots, and
therefore work most in the places which
vermin most infest, but which are likely
to be passed by other destroying agents.

Thought himself a PIagiarist.
Temple B!r.


Voiture having composed a sonnet,
was SO satisfied with it that he deemed
it worthy of being presented to Nine.
de Ram6ouillet. who, prompted by the
spirit of mischief, caused it to be sewed
among the contents of a volume of
poems published several years previ-
ously; and, this done, laid the book in a
conspicuous place on her table. Vol
ture, coming into the room shortly
after, took it up, and discovering to his
amazement the sonnet already in print,
imagined himself to be guilty of plagiar
ism, and repeated his verses several
times over with hewildered air, feel
ing sure that he must have read them
somewhere and unthinkinglv appropri-
ated them as his own.
''Word for word the same-not a
single difference, groaned the discon-
solate poet, matchmaking his too re-
tentive memory, and meditating what
apology he should make to the mar uise
for his involuntary presumption. When
at length informed ny Nine. de Ram
bouillet and her sister precieuses of the
trick that had been played him, his de-
light at finding his claim to the author
ship of the sonnet uncontested was so
great that far from resenting the joke.
he enioyed it even more than they did.

MIR: Gladstone in Conversation.

Mr.. Gladstone, having given up his
recent morning occupations of reading
the lessons IN church and cutting down
tree, Is in splendid vigor on the old
stumplng ground and is personally re-
celVed with all the old enthusiasm,
though Chamberlain quick chariot
wheels are leaving his political doctrines
lar behind While Radical opinions
rlpen everywhere, frost-nipped Wing
gerry pines itself away He is himself,
however, admittedly in full fettle-the
voice clear and resonant, the wonderful
race the same, strong, intense, full OF
force, but withal tender, delicately lined
and pensive
We have two portraits of him, one at
90 and one at 70, but no portrait gives
you an idea of it. No portrait can, fol-
1t is face in motion The late Mr..
Samuel Ward, who was a guest with
him at Dalmeny on his first stumping
pilgrimage, and for whom Mr.. Glad
stone at once conceived that affection
ate liking which that genial and accom-
plished American gentleman always
inspired, was never weary of dwelling
on that face. AS he converses in pri
vate, he used to say, it speaks as elo
quently as his tongue. AS he stood al
the end or the piano, Slpplng MS aztec
dinner tea with US in the quaint old
Scottish drawing-room of Dalmeny
nothing but series of instantaneous
photographs could have given the face
or rather score of Gladstonian faces OF
the ten minutes of conversation.
The facial expression varies with
every thought of this manythoughted
man. His thought was acted. Sur
prise, pleasure, interest, disdain, pity
called different features into play in his
Protean cOuntenance. Eyes, nose
chin, all spoke not only SO, but the
whole body, SO that his conversation
was like solo with an orchestral &C
compartment. Hands, feet, the entire
man, accompanied the iute-like voice il
a conversation which was not epiSram
matte but sometimes involved; owins
along at times like a level lowlanc
stream, with many serpentine windinss
yet always forcible and clear. Wher
his face is serious, the inner lights seen
momentarily put out. He seemed theI
to apply brake to the thought-train
and every feature was pulled up into {
portrait-like repose.

Unset ,nt:f, Chemistry.

Many of the so-called applications of
chemical science to the arts were first
made by persons who were entirely
ignorant of science and who did not
know the meaning of the word chemis-
try. Five hundred years ago tanners
who did not know that raw hide con-
tanned gelatine and were ignorant of the
fact that tannin would render it insolu-
BILE produced better leather than is made
anywhere in the world to-day. The
stonemasons of the middle ages who did
not understand the union made by
silicious sand and quicklime made NOR
tar that is stronger now than the rocks
it binds together. The ignorant Hindoos
on the banks of the Gauges and the wild
Arabs in eastern Asia made steel that is
worth its weight in gold
Quite too much is claimed for science
as a promoter of the useful and decora-
tive arts. 1t explains many processes,
but it produces very few that are new.
Medical science, if indeed there is any
such science, is little more than CLASH
fication of the remedial discoveries made
