Couldn't Tighten That Gloom.

A few days ago some one sent up to
the local room of The Herald a sing
ing canary in a pretty prison of brass
wires, with water, seed, cuttlefsh all
complete, and directed hat it be raf-
fed off for the benefit of the poor
fund. 1t was TO be supposed that q
bird in such strange quarters would
BIO frightened out Of its voice, but not
So this little songster. He made him
self at homo at once and proceeded to
fill the room with melody. A young
reporter sat watching the pert little
stranger and listening to his liquid
notes, when it occurred to him that he
had a great chance to write a pretty
article upon the way in which the
song of a happy bird could Tighten up
any gloom. He s~harpened his pencil
first, losing some of his sentimental
thoughts when the point broke off
twice, and then started. "How sweet
is the innocent melody of the warbling
bird" he wrote, when q messenger
boy fell through the door, spilled a
lot of rain water from his rubber coat
onto the reporters shoes, and said:
NSign fer dis" He signed for the tele-
gram and then started to complete his
sentence, but before he could think OF
a word Il man came in and asked il he
could have an old pair of pants. Then
another entered with a notice of our
next party-the Octopus Pleasure
club, you know" and asked him to
send a reporter up" A mar who said
he had read The Herald every day
for thirty-four years" dropped in on
the reporters train of thought and
wanted to leave q communication on
the drainage question. He signed it
"VoX Pupil" By this time the re-
porter had written one line and an
swered the telephone four times.
Guess l was off on the melody of
one bird tightening up any gloom like
this" he said. 1t would take a whole
- aviary. Chicago Herald.

The prints of the English speaking
world have been full Of stories about
the machine gun which Henry M.
Stanley carried with him in his last
desperate venture in Africa. And yet
1t Is an old story. 1t occurs to this
paper to properly tell it: The weapon
81 much talked about is a Maxim gun.
1t was invented by a citizen of these
United States. He was poor and
sought encouragement from our gov
ornment He got none. He went to
England, where they saw its merits at
once and made him rich. So his gun
is under control of the British govern
ment. At the time when he com
menced his Investigations the three
great machine guns of tho world were
the Calling, the Hotchkiss and the
NordenhotP-the first two American,
the last English. There was little diff
ference in their merits, a V that the
Hotchkiss WIS lighter and made for
ready transportation. Maxim, an
American boy, said to himself, there
are faults about these machine guns /:
l.. The turning of the crank prevents
anything like an aim. 3. Often the
cartridges hang fire a little, but the
crank turns on, and they explode at
the wrong time. 3. Most of all, the
rapid firing heats the gun 80 hat it Is
useless and oven dangerous in a few
seconds. The Maxim gun overcame
all these defects. 1t Is automatic. It
needs no crank. Pull the trigger once
and it continues to load and fire itself
so long as the supply of cartridges
lasts. Thepower Of Tho recoil" does
all the work, ven to shooting a jet Of
water along the barrel to keep it cool
It fires 700 shots in a minute, and all
that the operator has 10 do is to aim it
This is the Stanley gun You cannot
see 1t in the United States now, for 1t
is owned by the government Of Great
Britain. Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

Carl Tnu.ig. the Pianist.

If Ca1 Tausig had only possessed
the creative gift in any proportion to
genius for reproduction, he would
havo been q giant composer. AZ n
pianist he has never had his equal.
With Listz's fire and Bulow's intelleo-
tualty, no nevertheless transcended
them both i'll the possession of a subtle
something that dchcd analysis. We
sec 1t in his fugitive compositions, that
revcl on technical heights hitherto
unscaled. Tausig had a force, n viril-
ity, combined with mental insight,
that made him the peer of all pianists.
1t is acknowledged by all who heard
him that his tcchnic outshone all
others; he had the whispering and
crystalline pianissimo Of Joscffy, the
liquidity Of Thalbcrg's touch, with the
rcsistlcss power of n Rubinstcin.
He literally killed himself playing
tho piano; his vivid nature felt so
kccnly in reproducing the beautiful
and glorious thoughts of Bach, Bee
thovcn, and Chopin, and, like n saber
that was too keen for its own scab-
bard, no wore himself out from ncr-
vous exhaustion. Tausig was many
sided, and the philosophical bent of his
mind may DO seen In the few frag-
ments of original music he has vouch-
safed us.
Tausig was child of tho Nineteenth
century, full Of its ideals, its aimlcss
strivings, its restlessnoss, its unfaith
and desperately skcptical tone. II he
had only lived no would have left an
imprint on modern musical life as
deep as Franz Listz, whose pupil no
n Richard Wagner was his god
and he strovc much for him and his
mighty creations. Tho world has
much to be grateful for to tho genius
OF the lamontod Carl Tausig. Musical

In banging a number Of doors which
arc of the Same size, the time expend-
ed upon measuring the correct posi-
ton Of the hinges may be, according
to Tho California Architect and Build,
ers' News, saved in a very simple man
ner, which is IS follows: Take a lath
and mark upon the top and bottom the
exact position where the hinges should
come, drive in at these marks sharp
pointed brads, and you have a gauge
which may DO used in hanging ali
doors of the same size. In using 1t,
all that is necessary Is to place ii
against the edge of the door with the
top Of the lath on the level with the
top of the door, give it q sharp tap of
the hand, when the brads will mark
the exact position of the hingea The
same gauge, lath may be used in mark
ing out the position of the hinges OF
the stle Of One door frame, excepting
that a nail should be driven In the
bottom of 1t, 50 hat there may be suf-
fcient room left at the bottom to allow
proper play at the door. Tho use Of
a gauge lath In the case referred to Is
an example of Its use. 1t Is of equal
utility in hanging many other pieces,
such, for instance, as inside and out
sido blinds, shutters, etc.

There was an unfortunate charger
whose duty it was TO carry an OK
trcmcly fat and hcaey Indian gen
cral. Feeling that this task was
moro than could be reasonably requir-
ed of him, the intelligent animal in
variably lay down and refused to get
VI whenever tho general tried to
mount him, and so far gained his OBJ
ject that his owner sold him to n
young officer who was going TO n dis
tant station up country. Two years
afterwards the general went to inspect
some frontier environments, and as no
travelled 10 his destination in n palnn-
quiu, was obliged to borrow n charger
for the purpose Of tho inspection.
There wassomCd difficulty in finding one
up TO his weight. At length an officer
resigned TO hima powerful horse for
the occasion, which was brought out,
duly caparisoncd, in front of the
line. The general came forth from
his tent and proceeded TO mount, but
the instant the horse saw him advance
he flung himself flat upon the sand,
and neither blows nor entreaties could
induce him to rise. 1t was the gencr-
ais old charger, who from the mo-
mcnt of quitting his service had never
once p%racticcd tho n~rtiiice until this
second meeting. The general, who
was an exceedingly good humorcd
man, joined heartily in the universal
shout that ran through the whole line
oil Witnessing this ludicrous affair
