Excuses which Singers Msss.

Do | think there are many such fraud.
alent excusesl Yes, lots OF them. What
Is more, many a minor performer bears
the brunt Of a hitch or failure to shield
the leading performers. 1t is IN old say
ing that = bad workman blames his tools.
1t sa good deal hat way with singers
and musical performers. l remember q
case in point when the great Nilsson wa
the real culprit. She sang here Just be-
fore the great fire in a concert Of which I
was the director. A tlutist had to play
al obligato accompaniment to an aria
which Nilsson vas to sing. With char
acteristic egotiSm she refused to attend
the rehearsal. At the performance she
sang in an entirely different key to that
which the flutist had practiced. There
could he but n result, and that a fail
ure. Nilsson threw down her book in .
fret at the feet Of the terrified flutist,
who was pulled over the Goals and
roundly CONDEMNED by the audience.
Poor fellow, he VA not to blame; it was
Wilson's fault.
A few days later she was to take part
in the production Of ''The Messiah" l
told Max Strakosch. the impresario, that
i should insist on Wilson's presence at
the rehearsal or not be responsible for .

MnshInrton,s Famous Hotel.

Wizards hotel is q sort OF milestone
marking the growth Of Washington. 1t
is within the memory Of men now living
that what is 10Y the spacious hotel was
merely q country inn, with a front Of not
more than thirty feet. The Oldest por-
ton of the grand hotel Of today was built
about three-quarters Of a century ago,
and was known first as the City hotel,
afterward as Williamson's, and again it
was called Fuller's, under which it was
known until along in the sos, when the
Willard brothers took the house and
gave it their name. AS the city grew
the house grew, until it now occupies
more than two-thirds Of q block of
ground, its many stories Of apartments
furnishing accommodation for a thou.
sand guests.
Through its many years it has ever
been the favorite resort Of statesmen in
both houses Of congress. Many consulta-
tons which had for their object the hap
piness Of millions have been held there.
During the wal officers of all grades
found it a welcome refuge from the
wearisome details and priyations Of cam
paigniry. Presidents-elect have gone
out frCn it to take the oath Of office.
Many caucuses of great moment, decid-
ing important steps Of public policy, have
been held there. Young benedlcts and
their brides visiting the capital feel that
their wedding tour has not been perfectly
rounded unless they visit the famous
nostelry. The building now has a front
OF 80 feet on Pennsylvania ayenue and
runs $50 feet on Fourteenth street. 1t i

Bellies of Normandy.

In the towns and villages Of Normandy
one finds a high average Of female
beauty. The rural belle Of Normandy Is
a brunette. without being Of the extreme
type. Her eyes are brown, rather than
black, her hair may be either black or
dark auburn, and her cheeks are inclined
10 be OF a warm, rosy hue. Judging the
Normandy woman in comparison with
those Of England or America, | should
say that while the former average high,
there Is too great a sameness about the
type 10 present the fascinating variety
n meets with In either Of tho other two
countries named.-Thomas Stevens In

Preventing Disease.

In other lines than surgery the value
Of the germ theory is even greater,
though at first sight not quite so ap-
parent, since the matter is yet in its in
fancy. The great advantage which we
are to acquire through this theory Is not
in curing infectious diseases, but In pre-
venting them. Professor Koch, in a re-
cent address toc class Of medical students,
voiced this fact: Gentlemen he said,
''you have Nm hitherto taught only how
10 cure disease, in the future you will be
taught how TO prevent disease. III. w.
