An orehestrn Leader. Advice.

"What chance has q young man or
woman of getting on in the musical
world?'' was asked of Walter Damrosch.
"No n ought TO enter the musical
profession with the view principally of
making money out of il" was the reply.
"Such people will never rise to the top
and will never become true musicians.
Music is not a business, but an art, and
as such must be wooed for her own sake
and not for the dowry which she might
eventually bring into the union. Neither
ought any one to adopt music as a calling
who has not a pronounced talent for it,
as he would only add one to the great
army of mediocre musicians who flood
towns, and set up false and hollow
idols for the people, making the path
which Genius and Truth travel exceed
ingly hard and full of obstacles. l am
now speaking of a musician in the high
est sense of the word, such as The COM
poser; not one, however, who is
engaged by his publisher TO turn
out so and SO many ballads or
anthems at so and 30 much a year;
but one who feels that he has something
noble and true to tell the world, and who
is willing to undergo all of pri-
vations for the sake of his ideas. For
genius is seldom recognized by the world
until many years have passed, and the
history of great musicians teaches us that
most of them suffered neglect and pow
erty during many years of their life, and
that recognition usually comes very late.
Next to the composer rank the execu
tants, such as conductors, instrumental

woMAN,s FIRST APPEARANCE.
Mother Eve" n Fruitful Subject for
Legend MonEers-varIous Myths.

Legend Recommendations Myths
Woman's first appearance has been n
fruitful subject for the legend moncers
of all ages and places. According to s.
Barring Gould. there was an extraordi-
nary mvstic named Antoinetter Rourig-
non. who held that Adams stomach con
tanned a clear fluid, like water in a crvs-
tai bowl, in which tiny eggs developed
themselves like bubbles in wine, and
when he strongly desired companions he
dcposited some of these eggs, which
Matched out. Eve. The Phunician myth
of creation is found in the story of Pye-
malion and Galatea. There the first wo-
man was carved by the first man out of
ivory, and then endowed with life by
Aphrodite.
The Greek theory of the creation of
woman, according to Hesiod. was that
Zeno, as a cruel Jest. ordered Vulcan to
make woman out of clay, and then in
duced the various gods and goddesses to
invest the clay doll with all their worst
qualities, the result being a lovely thing,
with a witcliery of mien, refined craft,
eager passion, love of dress, treacherous
manners and shameless mind. The old
Scandinavians, on the other hand, made
their common mother out of nobler stock
lhan man. lhelr mythology says that as
Odin, Viii and We, the three sons of Dor,
were walking along the sea beach they
found two sticks of wood, one of ash and
one of elm. Sitting down, the gods
shaped nan and woman out of these
sticks, whiting the woman out of the
elm and calling her Emla. Closely allied
to this is the Ionian myth, which makes
the first pair, Meschia and Meschiane,
out of the beidas tree.
One of the strangest stories touching
the origin of woman is that told by the
Ma~dagascarenes. In so far as the crea-
ton Of man goes the legend is not unlike
that related by Moses, only that fall came
before Eve arrived. After the man had
eaten Of the forbidden fruit he became
affected with a boil on the leg, out of

The question that is always uppermost
in the minds of whoever studies the polit-
ical conditions in Russia is, ''Where
will the revolutionary movement end2" 1
asked it Of every man l talked with. The
answers We're various. But most of them
seemed to think hat Russia would follow
in h footsteps of France. Their theory
was that sooner or later the great empire
would become involved in a disastrous
foreign war, with Germany, or Austria,
or England, or all three, perhaps, for
Russia's only allies in Europe today are
France and little Denmark. That the
invasion of the country and the destruc-
ton Of the army would give the large
liberal element n chance to rise, and that
it would be assisted and protected by
foreign powers, for the existence of this
mighty, aggressive despotism is not only
a m to the rest OF Europe, but an
impossible barrier to civilization. That
Poland would be ultimately restored to
Independence under the protection of
Germany and Austria, and Germanized,
and that n liberal government, or at most
a limited monarchy, would succeed the
despotism at Petersburg. Some think n
republic will rise Upon the ruins of the
empire; hat a revolution, with a COM
mune, will follow the defeat of the cars
armies; that the palaces will be stripped
of their riches as they were in France,
and a reign of anarchy will be succeeded
by a democratic government of the
pcOple.-William Eleroy Curtis.

But twice in all his travels through
Europe did he evince any emotion.
When he was about to embark for Eng
land he looked out over the sea, which
was as smooth as glass, and concluded
hat he would not entrust his imperial
person to the danger of a sea voyage;
and when it was impressed upon him
that he could not get to England from
any part of continental Europe without
crossing an interval of salt water he was
of half a mind to give up that part of his
foreign tour. But curiosity prevailed
and he stepped aboard the deck of the
Vigilant, and in Justice to him it must be
said hat during five hours of the voyage
he maintained that impassive demeanor
which he had displayed on terra firma,
never exhibiting al outward sign of any
internal uneasiness until the squadron
which had beer sent by order of the
queen to meet and escort her royal risi-
tor love ~ sight. A look of astonish-
ment FAR. over the face of the shah and
lis OrieClll followers as they gazed at
the monsters bearing down o them.
When the first man of war reached a
position exactly abreast of the Nigilant,
and opened fire with the first round OF
the royal salute with a gun bigger than
anything ever before discharged in honor
of the Persian monarch, his face lost
some Of its color and it grew paler with
each discharge, and when at last some
thing resembling an enormous turtle,
with a huge excrescence growing out of
its back, wallowed by and belched forth
a column of smoke, with an explosion
that actually, for a moment, seemed to
lift the Vigilant out of the water, the
Ling frowned sternly, though his face
was deadly pale and his Persian attend
ants collapsed with fright. Some fell on
the deck, while Others crowded to the
companion hatch and scuttled below
more dead than alive with fright. But
when land was nee more reached the
shah resumed his stole bearing and
maintained it thereafter. -"'Monarchs 1

A fountain of fire in the midst of a
flowing river, as ~imaginatively described
by Rider Haggard, exists rs a reality in
Indiana. The surplus gas from a gas
well is carried off by a three inch pipe
and turned into the river; when the full
pressure of the gas is turned into the
pipe the waters of the river are thrown
to a height of from thirty to fifty feet,
and fall back through the immense flame
made by the burning gas. The varied
hues impaired to the falling water give
it the appearance of a true fountain Of
fire. Democrat.

1t is very unlikely that the constitution
and tendencies inherited from the ances-
try have much to do with long life, of
course leaving all accidents, epidemic dis
eases, etc. out of account. Hereditary
tendencies include more than mere bodily
form and toughness of fiber. There are
mental and emotional tendencies which
are equally important in determining the
length of life to be attained by the pos
SCISSOR. Control over the passions and
the ability to foresec and guard against
consequences are not less important than
the possession of good digestion and n
nervous system perfect in all its parts

cnnnI- or ship Ranways.

The system of carrying burdens on
ship wagons is. receiving attention, and,
it is argued, if n vessel can safely carry
IA heavy freight over stormy seas, where
half her hull is sometimes out of water,
pounded by the waves that break upon
her decks or drive upon her abeam, toss
ing her in their fury from crest to crest,
and dropping her suddenly into great
''troughs Of the sea" it is idle to suppose
that she cannot safely carry her burden
when lifted gently into a ''cradle," and
borne smoothly and steadily along over
solid rails of steel. 1t is customary to
speak of the sea as a ships native ele.
ment, bu no ship was ever yet built in
the water.
Ship railways. however, have now
passed beyond the stage of mere scientific
speculation. The air is full of ship rail
way projects for all parts of the globe.
The ship railway over the Chignecto
isthmus is already under contract. A
ship railway has also been surveyed
across the Florida peninsula to save the
600 miles Of distance around and through
the straits. This, we are assured, is a
most practicable route, and the railway
can be built for one-half the estimated
cost of n ship canal. But the

both as to the magnitude of
its construction and its results, is the

the physician who devotes himself

THE sPIRITuALIsTIC HUMBua.

The cause of Spiritualism ought to receive
o setback by the confession made by MAR
aABET Fox KANE through The WORLD of the
fraud 30 long practised by herself and her
sisters. the original spirit rappers. MAR
aARET not only explains that the noises
by which questions were answered were
caused by the convenient toes of herself and
her sister. but she gives exhibitions of the
" rappings" before the eyes of those who
attend her meetings.
1t is just to say that the manner in which
the raps are made was detected years ago.
But the believers were not to be persuaded
that they were impositions. and the ingenuity
displayed by the sisters in answering ques-
tions. united with the amazing credulity Of
the people, made their trick q success.
1t is really surprising that this simple de-
ception has been maintained for SO many
years. The fact confirms the belief gener-
ally expressed that MARaARET's revelations
and toe exhibitions will be pronounced the
work of unbelievers, and that Spiritualistic
impostors will find as many fools as ever and
continue to make their cheats profitable.

THE WoRLD's novel canvass Of voters
will prove an interesting subject of study by
the politicians for the next fifteen days. A
strong force is at work collecting information
from the people who are willing to give it on
these points: How did they vote on Presi-
dent in 1884, on Governor in 1885 and on
Mayor in 1886; how 40 they intend to vote
this year, and If they have changed, the prin-
cipal reason for such change.
OF course such q can vass must be limited
and may not in all instances be met by truth
full replies. Yet this mornings experience
teaches that it will be large enough to afford
q very interesting indication of the drift of
public sentiment in regard to the President,
Governor and Mayor in this city, and that as
o rule our questions are honestly answered.
One thing is certain. This gigantic
canvass will be truthful and wholly indie
pendent. 1t is undertaken without regard to
what candidates or what party may benefit by
its revelations.

arv disputes between the star and her mana
ger.
Here is Mrs. WILLIAM O'SULLIvAN DIMP-
Eel in a dispute with Manager HARRISON
about back pay, damages, etc. Yesterday
the manager called on Mrs. DIMPFEL at the
New York Hotel and had a wordy dispute
with her about $3.50 which both sides claim
to be owing by the other party. Mr..
HARRISON alleges that Mrs. WILLIAM
O'SULLIvAN DIMpFEL informed him
that Mr.. W. O'S. D. had threatened
to shoot him in the back. The irate manager
then sought Mr.. WILLIAM O'SuLL1vAN

tleman. Mr.. w. O'S. ID. chewed a tooth
pick and laughed at the angry namesake of
