JosEF HE1NE-On Monday even

JOSEF HEINE.-On Monday even
ing next the people of Corvalli:
will have an opportunity of hear
ing a rare musical treat at the
city hall. Josef Heine the famous
blind violinist will give one of his
concerts, of which the press from
all parts of the country speak in
the very highest terms. This is
what the Oregonian Of Feb. 1st
has to say and our readers can
judge for themselves:
"The man who hath not music in himself
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet
sounds,
Is lit for treason's stratagems and spoils.
So wrote the greatest OF dramatic
and poetic bards, and with the
sentiment all the world has been
in accord. Surely there is nothing
that SO strongly appeals to the
higher emotions of the human soul
as music interpreted either orally
or instrumentally by the masters
of the art. What SO carries one
out of himself, into the realms of
pure, esthetic enjoyment as listen
ing to some glorious composition
of a master mind rendered with all
the soul, feeling and mechanical
perfection that characterizes the
genius of the true artist? These
reflections were forcibly suggested
to the writer as he listened to the
masterly handling of the violin last
evening by that splendid musician
Josef Heine. There is in his work
such an honesty, such an earnest
conscientiousness, and he is SO free
from snowy trickery and simple
instrumental gymnastics that there
is pleasure in listening to his play
ing which is sometimes absent
when a more snowy artist is per-
forming.

which is run on Sc ingenious principle that
Ifecl bound to state 1t for tho benefit Of my

library, the books are not given out free,
small sum being charged, SO much per day for
the use OF them, and the library is open but
two days in tho week, and then only for
couple Of hours The Consequences is obvious
man takes out book and finishes it per-
haps OH one Of the Off days. Then tho work
is laid aside, and he never thinks Of 1t except
on day or ut an hour when books arc not
received, and the result is that books are
kept out for q week or two, at least, and q
corresponding revenue accrues to the library.
Tho advantage of this plan Is twofold. Few
books are rend always great point gained
In public library, and for those that arc
read large fee is e1torted from the reader.
1t is superfuous to add that the books in this
library are carefully wrapped up i'll brown

it is emincntly well suited for the post.-Bos-

pronounced thnn in most cases, but it serves
to illustrate
Even the trades have feet peculiar to each.
The hod carrier, as might be expected, has
foot very full across the instep, due, no doubt,
to the climbing Of ladders with heavy loads
This same popularity is noticeable to de-
gree in the foot of the bookkeeper who sits

foot tends to spread It, though not to the de

Another peculiarity Of the foot Is that as

ute foot will be the larger. This is due to the
fact that the weight Of the body is supported
In the greater part by tho left foot while the

lot with those in easy circumstances. Many
woman has grown petulunt and lost the
charm of pleasant nature by dwelling on
the difference in her neighbours silks and vel
vets and the palmer fabrics which her small
means compel her to wear. 1t is both foolish
and dangerous to allow such thoughts to dis
turb the serenity of onos mind 1t fosters
discomfort, and creates an ambition which
too often seeks evil ways for its qualification.
Each individuals life is distinctively his
own, and can be lived we'll and happily only
when his mind is scnsibly adapted to the cir
cumstances which govern it.
There is something, however, to be enved
Something both pretter and pleasantcr than
costly equipages or fino dress; and that ls--a

with such nature is worth more in n home
than all tho elegant furnishings that money
can supply. She is tho Joy and ornament in
