Developed by n Canary.

Moses smote the rock and tho pent
up waters gushed forth. The song of
a canary made Louis Spohr a musician.
His father played on the flute, his
mother was a pianist and a singer, so
that the boy lived in an atmosphere of
music.
One day, when he was four years of
age, a thunder storm SO impressed him
that he retired TO q corner of the room,
sat down on the floor, and looked in
mournful silence straight before him.
Suddenly the roof of clouds that had
darkened the sky was rent asunder by
a sunbeam, which as it entered the
room fell upon the cage of a canary
hanging before tho window.
The bird turned its little head up to
the beam, hoped from one perch to
the other, and then warbled a Joyous
song. Tho boy, awakened by the
birds trills from his semi-stupor,
listened with passionate rapture. The
tones touched nerve and brain; his
heart throbbed in musical pulsations,
and at that moment all his world
opened before him.
He never ceased to hear that canary,s
ringing t%rills, which then and there
revealed to him his vocation.-Youth's
Companion.

How Sheridan Saved n Cadet.

A recent graduate of West Point
gives a pleasant account of his last
sight of Gen. Sheridan. That illus
trlous soldier was making the inspec-
ton rounds of the Military academy
with the commandant. Sheridan lin
gered awhile in the quarters of my
informant, whose father was the gen
erals friend of long standing. Before
leaving, Little Phil" stepped to the
open fireplace, and bending, looked
up the chimney, making a thrust with
his sword worthy of a professional
sweep. Rattletybang, crash, came a
whole assortment of bottles, TASKS and
cigar boxes. The cadet said he stood
aghast, with the death sweat on him.
Gen. Sheridan froze him with a stern
glance, and then turning to the in
spector, said; DO not report this case;
l have taken an unfair advantage of
-. 1well remember the old hiding
place of my own cadetship. Chicago

A dozen years ago the trotter flour
ished like the green bay tree, and run
ming races, outside of those upon the
time honored course at Lexington,
We're practically unknown in tho state.
Every fair had its trots and everybody
was interested in the trotter. Now the
thoroughbred reigns supreme, and the
trotter has been relegated to the rear.
Thousands can now be found who will
read the most trifling gossip about
Proctor Knott, while a poll of the state
would hardly disclose a dozen who
could name the sire of Maud S. or Jay
Eye-See. The Kentucky stud farms
still breed trotters for the outside mar
ket, but none for ''home consump-
ton" The people here will have none
but running races, and nothing in the
shape of a thoroughbred bang-tail is too
rich for their blood. This love for the
flyer, however, is not solely response
BILE for the decline of trotting in Ken
lucky. Before its dissolution, a dozen
or moro years ago, the trotting ring
had become rotten to the core, and It
was this corruption more than any
thing else that caused its death. The
efforts of the Louisville Driving Park
to revive the corpse and to conduct
future races on an honorable basis
We're praiseworthy enough, but they
anne too late. The public taste had
changed, never, probably, to be re-
claimed again in that direction

OF. BY and For tho Students.

The students of Oberlin have petit
toned for a democratic form of col
lege government, of the students, by
the students and for the students. The
faculty will not grant the petition, but
have concluded to try a consultation
system. Each class selects three of its
members, who are to confer with a
committee of the faculty ON college
regulations; but these committees
have no power of legislation or arbi-
tration, and it is probable that on this
account it will not enlist the sympathy
of the students. Boston Transcript.

The spnrtans and Music.

The ~favorite problem of thinkers
and teachers, since thought began, has
been to find some engine of education
which should reach the character as
e~ffectually as the ordinary means of
training touch the understanding; and
in tho opinion of many, not men
alone, but nations, music was such an
engine. 1T is music" said the Spar
tans, (which distinguishes the brave
man from the coward" "a mans
music is the source of his courage" 1t
was their music which enabled Leon
idas and his three hundred TO
at Thermopyl9.
1t was music which taught the Spar
tan youth how to die in the wrestling
wiring or ON the field of battle. These
claims are a~udacious, surely. Yet,
when we consider how the rhythmi-
cal tread of the brave man differs from
the agitatcd shamble of the coward,
how music is the art of human joy,
and how joy and repose of mind are
the main elements of manly fortitude,
we shall at any rate admit that there
is a strong affinity somewhere; our
only difficulty will be to acknowledge
that music, deliberately applied, could
ever be the direct cause of these re-
puted results.
To achieve the end desired Spartan
boys passed their youth in learning
tunes, hymns and songs; this was
their sole mental culture. They were
taught to dance and keep step TO the
measure of the songs as they sang
them. And, grown to manhood, now
perfect %wafriors, marched into battle
with smiling faces, crowned with
flowers, calm, joyful and serene, and,
intoning their songs, moved steadily
thus into the thickest of the fight, I'M
disturbed and irresistible. The band
that leads our armies to the field of
baltic nowadays is a scant survival of
Spartan practice, yet even in this
music by proxy there are many ele-
ments of Indictment to courage.-The
National Review.

Berlin Apartments.

Life in Berlin is essentially an apart
ment one. There are no homes here
in our n of the word; that is, PEG
pie do not live in their own houses,
but in apartments. This is the uni.
versal custom in all the large cities of
Europe. Berlin has many large and
handsome apartment houses; in fact
nearly all the dwellings except the
palaces IRE on that plan, and the rents
are not dear, considering that this is
the capital and the metropolis of the
empire. l know of a nice apartment
in an excellent neighborhood that can
be had for $40 a month, completely
furnished. 1t would cost two or three
times that sum in New York.-San

Just here something happened. the
maiden seemed in distress; she had
cried out, Bon Dieu, Seigneur," and
seemed in wild excitement. Aunt
Sukey laughed until she was ''mos
nigh droppin' onto de yearth," as she
afterwards related.
Aggy danced with glee, and the de
fiant mademoiselle was laughing and
crying and choking and protesting,
with her face smothered among the
damp, rolled up clothes, whilst Mr..
Roberts, aged 80, with a few prema-
ture gray threads sprinkled through
his brown hair, and an amused smile
lighting up his fine face, declared he
should so hold the bonny head until
she retracted her cruel words.
This little down stairs scene ended
in a joyous wedding, of course, after
the lapse of several months, and many
were the pleasant family reunions at
both homes before the young bride
presided at the Christmas dinner table
Of her happy husband.-E. s. G. in

Women could do a great deal to stop
the habit of smoking said a gentle
man recently. They encourage gen
tlemen to smoke in their houses, and
declare that instead of tobacco smoke
being Objectionable they like the
fragrance of a nice cigar. Men smoke
quite enough when they are alone
without being encouraged to do SO
When they are spending the evening
III the society of any of their friends.
A great many women, too, are learn
ing to smoke cigarettes, and some men
maintain that they like to see them do
so. About n hundred years O
women used to smoke pipes, but they
had better balanced brains than the
women of today. They had no time
for flirting or for lazy luxury, and did
not fill their minds with lovesick
stories. Herald of Health.

THE REAL IRISH ERIEzE.
A Cloth Through Which the Rain Cannot
Possibly Penetrate.

Possibly Penetrate.
Among the various textile products
of Irish manufacturing skill the most
extensively known, says The Clothier,
is the justly celebrated Irish frieze.
Its manufacture has come down from
time immemorial. The process since
it was first woven on the primitive
hand loom, and the subsequent manip-
ulation TO prepare it for the only gar
ment for which it is pre-eminently
suited, the Cotha More dig coat or
~overcoat), has been handed down from
one generation of the Irish people to
another until at the present day the
rapidly increasing steam power looms
OF the Irish mills are engaged in man
qfacturing friezes which are making
their way by sheer force of real merit
in the best markets of the world.
The chief features which distinguish
frieze from all other cloths are its abso-
lutte imperviousness TO rain and its
extraordinary durability. In these it
resembles the famous blankets of the
Navajos Indians. OF course we are
now speaking of real Irish frieze, not
the counterfeit article, which is now
quite plentiful in the American mar
ket. These points of excellence are
secured through the peculiar method
of manufacturing the longest and best
wool, selected from the best Irish
f~leeces, without which there can be no
genuine Irish frieze. The process in
itself is quite simple, but tedious, de-
handing much time, car and atten-
ton.
Nothing but washed wool of the
longest and strongest fiber is used.
This is first dyed, and afterward, when
spun, is doubled so as to resemble
yarn; in fact, it is a softly spun
wooden yarn, which has not been
treated by acids in any manner, so
that the whole natural strength of the
wool fiber remains unimpaired. This
yarn is then woven, after which it is
put through tho thickening or tuck
ing process, as it is termed. This lat
ter is practically n somewhat pro-
longed washing or sousing of the
cloth in n carefully prepared solution,
slowly heated up to the boiling point,
and then as slowly cooled again. This
shrinks and consequently thickens the
fabric which comes from the loom to
such an extent that it becomes almost
impossible, after cutting the goods, to
separate one thread of the cloth from
the other, SC closely are they allied
and so interdependent on each other.
The final operation is the dressing
and finishing of the goods. From this
brief explanation it will be perceived
in what the chief points of the excel
lcnce of Irish fricze consist. Dyed in
the wool, the color is permanent; UNI
treated by acid, the natural virility of
he wool fiber is preserved.

There was once, in Arkansaw, a
country. editor who experienced much
trouble in meeting his bills-in paying
them, rather, for he met them on
nearly every corner. Ono week, in
order TO attend a press convention, he
did not get out an issue of his paper.
When he returned he discovered that
the suspended issue" was, of the
whole year, the only one that had not
run him in debt. This discovery
opened his eyes to.a new idea. He
saw that the only.way to make money
on his paper was not to print it
