AN AMERICAN GIRL.

Der Report of the French National Con-
servatcry of Music.
A reporter for The Chicago Tribune
interviewed Miss Laura Moore, the opera
singer, with the following result:
''How many American girls enter the
Conservatory"
More every year. Many girls prefer
a German course, and insist ON going to
Munich. But the National ConseTva-
tory of France has an immense prestige.
All the best singers in the country have
passed through it. It's prizes are more
sought after than the highest operate
positions. Its diplomas give you the en-
try of all musical bodies. Its president
is Ambrose Thomas, composer of
'Mignon' and Hamlet Its jury COM
priseS the names of Delibes, Massenet
and Guiraud, who are all professors in
the Conservatory. To have come VIC
toriously from its tuition is almost to in
sure the success of your musical career"
''Is the opera bound to take girl who
wins the first prize"
''No; but the competition at which the
prize is won is public. The managers Of
the Grand opera are among the audience.
They get an excellent chance to hear
what you can DO.
''And if they take your"
"You are bound to them at yearly
salary of $1,000. This is the rate fixed
by the government. 1t is small, but
then you have had all your schooling for
nothing"
''How did you win your first prize?"
IN. Bartot, my teacher, made me sing
the hardest thing he could find"
''What was that?"
"Ophelia's mad scene in Hamlet He
said: If you can sing what is difficult
the jury will know what you can do
with songs that are easy o, the bitter
tears shed over the mad scene. But l
mastered it. The prize was awarded to
me unanimously.
"Had it any pecuniary value?"
'No. only the diploma. But how
many girls would give their eyes for
that diploma? Besides, the education,
which costs many American parents so
much, had come to me for nothing. |

"Why not? l am a western girl. My
parents are dead. l had nobody to pay
for my education. I settled down in
Paris, knowing that / had to succeed;
and when western girl knows that she
has to succeed she generally succeeds"
"Can anybody enter the Conserva-
tory"
''Any girl gifted with a good voice.
It is wonderful institution which opens
its doors, not to its own people only, but
to all the world. l, an American girl,
owe everything to its fostering care.
How can l feel otherwise than grateful"

Intelligence OF q Crow.

How fly" the average crow is, too.
Note some time, when you are riding
along in a train, how Indifferent crow
is to the flying engine and cars. Note,
too, how carelessly they will sit on some
near by tree. or In some field, as you
drive along the highway. Now stop the
horse and see how quickly their heads
come up and how uneasy they get. It's
ten to one that before the carriage has
ceased rocking, and before you can take
aim with a gun. every one Of them are
on the wing. Once two of Us were rid
ing along a road, and in a field were
several crows. Close 70 the road was q
high ledge around which the highway
led, hiding US for q rnomont from the
birds. Here jumped out while my COM
panious drove right along at the usual
gait. Waiting moment, crept up the
ledge. and when looked over carefully
every crow was walking off and looking
back. They did not see me, but they
missed me from the team, and reasoned
there was danger, and l did not get q
shot.-Lswiston Journal

You are driven UP to the hotel in a car

cumstances, at the Palmer or Grand Pacific.
But you don't do anything of the kind.
The driver descends, and, approaching
large iron gate, pulls a bell knob, which
pull is responded to by the hammer of
gong such as pilots signal to the engi-
neerS with on American steamboats,. The
driver then resumes his seat
In the course of the morning, or afternoon,
OF night as the case may be, the gate is
opened and a warty faced man with snub
nose and white apron approaches the car

The warty faced man grunts, passes
through the gateway, locks the gate after
him, and returns In the course OF an hour.
This time he swings the gate wide open and
invites the driver to come in. We are now
in an open court yard. We alight We
enter an office that looks like railroad bag

driving on the Calais side, the horse, without
guidance, kept always on the right of the
driveway and passed-by his own instinct

we reached tho st. Stephen side he became
obedient to English law and crossed at once
to the left of the driveway without guidance
from the Bit and invariably kept to the left
during the time he was driven about on that
side of the river, and on our return he passed
on to the bridge, still keeping to the left,
then, having reached the Calais side, he

At the Wrong Door.

In Paris, several families often live
under one roof, and each occupies its
own ''fat" or apartments. The duke and
the laborer, saint and vagabond, the good
and the bad may live in the same house,
and yet neither of them know his neigh
Dor. The author Of Partisan Lights"
says that two friends lived a year in the
same house without being aware of the
fact, until they accidentally met in the
street, and inquired each others address.
This author also relates the story of an
amusing mistake:
A gentleman called upon lady with
