AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF RUB1NSTEIN.
Translated by Atine DeIdno There is a fascina-
tion about this little book that no one who opens
it can escape. 1t is filled with the strong per-
sonality of the great Russian master of music.
Its pages glow with his intense enthusiasm, his
indomitable energy. Its sentences snap with the
nervous impatience of genius. 1t is simple
frank, straightforward. revealing in delightful
ways the strongly-marked character of the art
ist and the man. There isn't tiresome page in
it, The reader is carried along with ever keen
interest through the wonderful incidents of Ru-
binstein's career, which has contained much
that is romanticin in high degree. His expert
ences as a child, when he gave concerts through
out Europe and played before emperors and
princes, are told with charming candor. The
hardships of his early manhood he tells of with
out bitterness. His poverty and privations did
not sour him. He was filled with too great en-
thusiasm and love for his art to feel what he
suffered III its behalf. The autobiography has a
special value for the inner glimpse which it af-
fords of Russian life, character, and institutions.
Rubinstein's Judgment on the musical attain
ments of the different nations will be read with

while among the English-the least musical of
people-not more than per cent. can be found

Americans have higher appreciation of music

just a Small Bottle.

From the Evening World.
Never in the world order more than pint of
champagne when with lady. If you don't
know the lady intimately you are assuming that
she wants to get dizzy if you order quart and
if you know her tastes you assuredly do not wish
to recognize her thirst when it is wholesale one
1t is very rare that two people can possibly
drink quart of any one sort of Wine and enjoy
1t. If quart of wine is necessary, then by all
means divide it into pint of caret and let the
champagne follow it, When you see a young
man order big filet of beef covered with mush-
rooms, stewed potatoes, and large bottle OF
champagne, set him down at once for a new
figure in town or something very fresh in the
way of home product. Eating is fine art to
which even the divine passion is subsidiary.

A wife recently gave her husband sealed let
ter, begging him not to open it till he got to his
place of business. When he did so he read:
"I am forced to tell you something that know
will trouble you, but it is my duty TO do so. l
am determined you shall know. let the result be
what it may. / have known for week that it
was coming, but kept it to myself until to-day,
when it has reached crisis, and cannot keep
it any longer. You must not censure me too
harshly, for you must reap the results as well as
myself. do hope it won't crush YOU"
BY this time the cold perspiration stood on his
forehead with the fearo some terrible unknown
calamity. He turned the page, his hair slowly
rising, and read:
THE coal is all used up! Please call and ask

GladStOne,S Daily Life.

Mr.. Gladstone lives a very regular
life at his home. He breakfasts lightly
about o'clock, and shortly before s
walks to the church for prayers To the
intelligent observer the sight of the
great statesman walking to church ut
this early hour in the morning cannot
fail to be interesting. Clad in long
coat, tightly buttoned, with a long
shawl wrapped closely around his neck,
and wearing a soft felt hat, lis appear
ance is decidedly picturesque. Upon
his return to the castle from morning
prayers, he retires to his study, where
he reads and answers, with the aid of
his secretary, his enormous mass of
daily correspondence. There is no
regular hour for luncheon at the cas-
tie and it is partaken of by those at
home at various times. In the after
noon Mr.. Gladstone takes a walk in
the grounds. and if the weather is pro-
pitious usually engages in his favorite
exercise of tree chopping. He dimes at
8 o'clock, afterwards reads or writes,
and at 10 o'clock retires for the night.
Though abstemious in his habits, he
usually drinks bitter beer with his
lunch and glass or two or claret or
port at dinner. Mr.. Gladstone is not
in any sense ascetic, is a generous liver
and is great believer in the virtues of
glass of good port wine. When en-
gagged in speaking his FLIP is COM
pound of sherry and egg, which is pre-
pared by Mrs. Gladstone with as much
anxiety and care as if it were the elixir
of life. Mr.. Gladstone never smoked.
He acquired his habits at period when
tobacco smoking was generally re-
garded as somewhat vulgar among the
better class. Correspondence of the
Philadelphia Times.

Physiology of Evil,

Dr. B. W. Richardson declares that
the man of science finds two natural
causes of evil in mankind-heredity
and early environment. The operation
of these causes is made conspicuous in
novel investigation carried out by Mr.
Dugdale, of New York, who has been
able to trace one criminal family back
to the settlement of its first members
in America. He has found that from
this parent stock have sprung 1,200 de-
scendants, and has followed the life
record of 700, not one of whom has es-
capped the contamination of evil or its
consequences. His researches have led
to the estimate that in rs years the
treatment of the crimes of this family
have cost the State more than a million
and quarter of dollars. Those who
are born bad, however, are not always
incurable. Mr.. Isaac Ashe, President
of the Central Criminal Asylum, Dub
lin, has suggested that inherited ten
denotes to crime be treated in the
young by teaching useful occupations
calling into play the faculties exercised
in the criminal acts Thus the child of
a clever forger may be educated into an
honest draughtsman; and the natural
incIinations of children of generations
of pickpockets may b. turned into
healthy channels by teaching some
handicraft requiring special capacity
of finger, such as matchmaking. But
to attempt to eradicate a criminal ten
dency without such utilization of it is

after Gen. Jackson's arrival at the
White House, shabby -genteel looking
man presented himself at his parlor
and after the usual sanitation and skak.
ing of hands, expressed his Joy at see
ing the venerable old gentleman at last
hold the situation of chief magistrate of
the country, to which his bravery, his
talents and his unimpeachable rectitude
fully entitled him.
I'VE have had a hard time of it"
said he, "in our little place; but our ex-
ertions were unremitting; 1 myself
went round to stimulate my neighbors,
and at last the victory was ours. We
beat them by majority of ten votes,
and now behold the result of that
glorious triumph"
The General thanked him In terms of
studied politeness, assuring him that
he would resign his office in an instant
if he did not think that his election
gave satisfaction to vast majority of
the people, and at last regretted his
admirers zeal for the public veal
should have been so severely taxed on
his account.
"Oh. no matter for that, sir" said he :;
Il did it with pleasure-I did it for
myself and for my country" (the General
bowed; and I now come to congratu-
late you on your success" (the General
bowed AGAIN.. Il thought, sir, that, as
you are now President of the United
States, l might, perhaps, be useful to
you In some official capacity" CThe
General looked somewhat embarrassed
pray, sir, have you already made a
choice of your Cabinet Ministers ?"
1 have, was the reply of the Gen
eral.
well, no matter for that; shall be
satisfied with an embassy to Europe"
Il am sorry to say there is no va
cancy."
"Theh you will, perhaps, require a
head-clerk in the Department of
State?"
"These are generally appointed by
the respective Secretaries.
Il am very sorry for that; then I
must be satisfied with some inferior ap-
pointment"
1 never interfere with these; you
must ADDRESS yourse1 TO the heads OF
departments.
"But could not be Postmaster in
Washington? Only think, General,
how hard I worked for you?"
Il am much obliged to you for the
good opinion you entertain of me, and
for your kind offices at the last election,
but the Postmaster for the City of
Washington is already appointed.
well, 1 don't care much for that; 1
should be satisfied with being his
clerk"
This is a subject you must mention
to the Postmaster"
why, then, General" exclaimed
the disappointed candidate for office,
haven't you got an old black coAt?"
You may well imagine that the Gen.
eral gave him one Yankee Blade.
