1t is said that the Sultan has become
passionately fond Of Shake spsare.s Otbet-
10. On one occasion the ladies of the ma
rem were admitted to see the perform
ance of Othello; not, indeed, to see the
whole play, but Of selections from it. The
correspondent suggests that the Sultan
possibly wished them to see for them
selves what a jealous husband of high
character is capable of doing to a sus-
pected wife.
At the "Bal des Artistes" of the Paris
opera, Sarah Bernhardt appeared as the
conductor of an orchestra of 120
musicians, with Coquelin cadet as the
leader of the violins. Late in the even
ing when they played the Internal quad
rifle, which was danced with disbolical
spirit, Coquelin cut such antics that he
broke his bow, ard then smashed his
violin over the head OF dancer, all with
immense enthusiasm.
An unfinished libretto, The Soracen
Woman, by Wagner, has just been dis
covered, the widow of Herr Greith, of
Munich cathedral, having now pre-
scented it to Frau Cosima Wagner. There
is no doubt about its authenticity, as it is
mentioned by Wagner himself in the
fourth volume of the Gesammelte
Schriften," and, moreover, it deals with
that distasteful subject of liaison be-
tween blood relations, which seems to
have had such peculiar fascination for
the composer.

The pot turns on the perplexity of
young aristocrat, who falls in love stimuli
taneously with young lady, her mother
and her her mothers servant maid. All
of them reciprocate his affections, and
threaten suicide, when the hero dis
covers the fact that the servant maid is
of noble birth, and, after an interview
with the husband of her mistress, he
obviates all tragic complications by
marrying all three OF his inamoratas.
Recently at 4he opening of Eton Col
lege chapel they sang the well-known
English version of 'Luther's celebrated
hymn:
"Now thank we all our God
With heart and hand, and voices"
In its report of the ceremony the London
DAILY Telegraph quotes the hymn in full !,
and then innocently remarked "The
name of the writer Of these lines has not
TRANSFERRED" We venture to say that
even our lurid contemporary, the arizona
Howler, would not have displayed such a
depth Of ignorance as this.-TNew York
Tribune.
Here is a curious story that Louis
Engel tells about Arditi in Berlin last

il you will come and dine with mel

charming wife, too, and it seems they
had dinner to shame Lucullus and Gar
gantua in their graves"
