Character In Ears.

Little notice Is commonly taken OF
the outward form ofour organ OF hear
ing, and even artists do not give II
much consideration. as a rule, yet the
formation and shape OF the ear, says a
writer la the Pail Mill Gazette, will
amply repay those who give IL close
attention. Our modern portrait paint
ers seldom go into minute detail over
IL. They seem content with a general
outline and rough touch here and
there showing the principal points.
The sculptors are more particular, es-
pecially among the antique; one seldom
sees good piece OF statuary without
noticing that great care has been taken
TO correctly model the ear, and II was
regarded rs worthy OF study. A we'll
formed ear Is IA thing OF great beauty.
and, like all other works OF the Crea-
tor, is exquisitely adapted and designed
for the function IL performs, that OF
collecting and concentrating the undu-
lations OF sound.

Cir Arthur Sullivan Adds TO His Laurels by
New Selections Melodies Which are Sure
Of Popularity, Whatever Becomes Of the
Opera Of which They arc Part

Arthur Sullivan's latest opera, The
Gondoliers, seems destined 70 succeed.
In some OF his operas, notably .'Iolan-
tho" Sullivan evidently gave free rein
20 bis fancy and wrote, as the musician
pure and simple rather than as the
caterer The result is in many num-
bers melodies that appeal TO the lis
tener as pleasing only after several
hearings. Ia his eurlier works. as
Trial by Jury and .Psnafore,r the
melodies were uniformly such as were
entirely comprehensive at the first
hearing la Tine Gondoliersr Sulli-
van has apparently returned with due
elaboration 10 the styleof former DAYS
and the result Is collection OF airs
whose bold simplicity Is Mt once attrac-
tive 10 the layman and astonishing to
the musician. Here. for instance. is a
phrase that introduces song always

IL will probably depend more for last

discovers she must be separated from

A Cat tina. Lives on canaries.

George Fair, of the Haymarket thea
tire, says: have tiger cat, pug dog.
seventeen gold fish, and forty canaries.
The dog is the most submissive of the
lot. He has been licked so many times
that his tail won't curl. Ever see pug
dog with the curl taken out of his tail!
I've got one. But the cat is the boss.
Mrs. Fair is very much attached to the
cat. I wanted her to sell the cat, or let
me bring it down here, or kill it-any-
thing to get it out of the house. No.
sir, she wouldn't have it. Said the cat
could stay in the house as long as she
did. One day she went home and found
lot of feathers on the floor, and the cat
asleep on top of the piano. The cat had
eaten the canary-several canaries.
said to Mrs. Fair, 81 guess the cat will
go now" but she said no. For two or
three days we noticed that the cat didn't
eat anything. He refused beefsteak,
mutton chops, whipped cream. and all
Of the dainties. He had tasted the cana
ny, and nothing but canary would sat
isfy him. So we are raising canaries
now to appease the cats appetite. The
dog eats the bones and the crumbs which
fall from his masters table.-Chicago

The Good and the Bad.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, in little social ser
mon, takes occasion to say: But, whether in
town or country place, he who seeks shall
find that which he seeks The man or woman
who sets forth on a quest of evil is sure to
find it. Early In life l realized that there
was more of pleasure to be derived from OBJ
serving good than evil, and, consequently,
sought and found it existing In abundance

that the weird is divided into two armies

Illusion vanishes. for we find the two armies
clothed in the same habilimants, mixing to-
gcther amicably, and the deadly battles ars
fought, silently and out of sight in each
human heart. between right and wrong.
A great native virtue, planted too gener-
oasly In human heart and deprived Of
careful cultivation, often deSenerates into
a rank vice, and the world not infrequently
mistakes a sterile and inactive nature for

Limbs of the Mind,

One is curiosity; that is a gift, ca
pacity of pleasure in knowing, which if
you destroy you make yourselves cold
and dull. Another is sympathy; the
power of sharing in the feelings of living
creatures, which if you destroy you make
yourselves hard and cruel. Another of
your limbs of mind is admiration; the
power of enjoying beauty or ingenuity,
which if you destroy you make your.
selves base and irreverent Another is
wit. or the power of playing with the
lights on the many sides of truth, which
if you destroy you make yourselves
gloomy, and less useful and cheering to
others than you might be. So that in
choosing your way of work it should be
your aim, as far as possible, to bring out
all these faculties, as far as they exist in
you, not one merely, nor another, but all
of them. And the way to bring them out
is simply to concern yourselves atten-
lively with the subject of each faculty. To
cultivate sympathy you must be among
living creatures. and thinking about
them; and to cultivate admiration you
must be among beautiful things, and
looking at them.-J. Rushin.

Baggage Master Preferred TO President.
When President Harrison was return
ing from his Bar Harbor visit and his
special car was attached to the Washing
ton express of the Pennsylvania railroad
the conductor went into the presidential
car:
"Mr. President, have favor to ask
of you," said the conductor.
swell, what is it?" said the president,
with the old, weary, anti-ofdce seeker
look on his face.
II want you to let me bring in my
little boy Harry, who is on the train.
and introduce him."
The chief magistrates face frightened
instantly, and be replied: Bring him in
by all means"
The boy, bright little fellow of about
II years, was brought into the private
car and duly introduced. The president
put his arm affectionately about the boy,
and, drawing him to him, said:
Now, Harry, you must sit right down
and ride the rest of the way 70 Washing
ton with me-"
Harry didn't exactly know how to re-
ceive this proposition at first, and then,
looking up into the presidents face, he
said innocently, in his childish treble:
"Td rather ride with the baggage
master"
AS the child left the car the president
remarked:
That's the first time since I've been
in office that baggage masters COM
pany has been preferred to mine -
