and old Jules Malot, the village drum

and placing his drum upon the table
made sign to one of the female at

placed a cup of black coffee before bin,
with small glass OF cognac-his petit

which seemed almost scorched by the
sun. With his white mustache and
imperial his features reminded me Of
some of the old soldiers had met in
Paris in the lnvalides where the re-
mains OF the great Napoleon are now
inferred. When he had finished his
coffee and taken sip Of cognac he
looked round to see that his drum had
not been removed. I soon learned that
he had no relatives, except some chill
wont to call his nephews and his nieces.
So the village drum was his best friend!

sation pleased me. drew his chair neaSer
to mine, and, lighting pipe, prepared
himself for a chat. called for another
cognac for him and poured myself out a
second glass of most delicious cider.
Then Malot went on to tell me what a
pleasant life he was leading. He was
the village drummer-le tambour de Ia
cila-and after more than thirty years
spent in the ranks, he had retired on a
small pension hardly sufficient to live
upon. But he had been the Mortain
tambour for several years, and when
ever an announcement was to be made
it was Malot who walked through the
village roads and lanes followed by the
children who would look up at him as
god. One day he would cry out the loss

Queen Victoria, which many French

MOZART'S REQUIEM.

The Last Work of the Great Composers
Fruitful Life.
The last work of Mozart was a fitting
close to the tragedy of his life. One
can not read the oft-told tale of the
Requiem" without sympathetic tear.
The light of subsequent facts has long
since dissipated the atmosphere of mys-
terry that hung over it for 81 long a
time. We know now that it l., to the
vanity of man willing to nuke his
wife's death the occasion for posing be-
fore the world in borrowed plumes as
musical composer, that we owe this i'm.
mortal funeral-hymn.
With Mozart's extreme susceptibility,
heightened by his failing health and
his dark outlook, it is not strange that
the somber and unknown messenger
who appeared before him to order re-
QUEEN for a nameless friend seemed to
foreshadow his own doom. Haunted by
this conviction, he rallied all his droop-
ing energies for his final work. II

hope that after my death my enemies,
as well as my friends, may find in it in

He was interrupted in the midst of it
by an order to write an opera for the
great festival at Prague. 'La Clemenza
di Tito was written and put on the
stage in eighteen days; then Mozart re-
turned to his last task. He was pursued
by the idea that he had been poisoned,
and in order to divert his mind his wife
took away mis- work. His spirits revived
a little, and after few days of repose
he called for his music again.
Into this exalted work he breathed
the last fame of his divine genius In
the hymn of death the sorrows, the
longings of his life found voice. Who
can listen to the sublime and heart
rending strains of the "Lachrymosa"
without feeling that beneath the prayer
for pity is the cry of suffering human
soul? 1t is the prayer of the world
translated into form of everlasting
beauty by one who adds to the divina-
ton of the poet a.subtle something born
of individual tears.

vided themselves into, branches in the
most fantastic and picturesque manner.
When we first caught sight Of the river
Mayenne we commanded view of its
glittering waters in the woody valley
below. The upper part of this valley
was as green as the fresh young grass
of spring could make it, and sprinkled
with the early wild flowers of the year
in all their beauty and fragrance.
Small, spreading trees interspersed
with aspens and poplars whose leaves
twinkled in the sun clustered together,
as it were, in small tufts, dotted its sur.
face; and the turf, like the green,
smooth-shaven lawn" of Milton, sloped
down with inexpressible softness to the
silver waters of the Mayenne. Words,
however, can give but faint idea of a
scene like this, and even the pencil,
powerful as it is in reproducing the
glories of the earth, would fail to catch
all the charms of the spot, which part
~ arose out of Observation-Disclosures
from human dwellings and the songs OF
the birds, and the perfumed breath OF
spring which filed the bosom with de.
d
1uence through the frame.
The time flew by rapidly and, after
few hours spent in conversation with
the commercial traveller and the priest
and in admiration of the beautiful
scenery, we were safely deposited about
midday before a quaint old au6erge,-o OF
inn, on the market place of Mortain.
The market was being held in a large
open space surrounded on all sides by
houses and ornamented on two sides by
double row of elm trees. Here were
assembled an immense number of peas.
ants and women from the surrounding
country, whose costume, more especial.
~ that Of the women, would furnish
rich materials to painter. Some had
come with their baskets from Sourdeval
and Barenton by the new railroad, but
most of the neighboring villagers had
made their way thither on foot.
In the large dining-room on the
ground floor of the inn the most wealthy
peasants were seated at dejeuner-a
meal which was being quickly served
by two handsome maidens. There also
was the district policeman-gendarms-
with his three-cornered nat and his
dark blue costume, with his epaulets
and his spurs, and his pistols in q
leather belt about his waist, and above
all his black mustachio so well curled.
He was reading the leading paper OF
the department, now taking mouthfu]>
of well-cooked beefsteak, now q
mouthful of dreadful politics.
was soon seated at the common ta-
BILE, but had scarcely had time to drink
a glass of cider and begin my meal when
in the courtyard of the inn drum was
suddenly heard. In moment every
body rushed to the door or the windows
with their mouths full and their nap
kins in their hands-with the exception,
though, of the tall gendarn,e, who, at
that precise moment, seemed very inter-
ested in a particular passage of his rev.
dictionary paper and consequently did
not stir.
When the drummer ceased beating
his instrument he began the news,

a Clever Horse.

This story shows the intelligence Of
a Kentucky roam, who was left in an
open paddock fastened by means of a
wooden hasp This he learned in few
days to take out with his teeth and drop
on the ground, only to have it carefully
replaced by the stable boy, who dis
played a wonderful intuition about dis
covering it. Finally, when it became
plain to his horseish understanding that
there was nothing to be gained by such
a performance he tried the experiment
of carrying it over to the farther side Of
the fenceand letting it fall into neigh
boring yard. Now it SO happened that
his owner caught him in the act and re-
slentlessly went and fastened him in
again; then from distance he watched
to see what would come next. AS he
had expected, the horse diligently
loosened the stick again. but now
comes the queer part of it-instead Of
putting it in any of the old places he
gave one defiant snort and aboriously
set to work to eat it up. # his object
was the total annihilation Of the hasp.
there is no doubt he accomplished it
fully. All Of which goes to prove what
