A Wonderful Memory,

The following anecdote of Mozart shows that he must have been a born musician:
 "When fourteen years old he heard in Rome the 'Miserere of Allegri;' and knowing that it was forbidden to take or give copy of this famous piece, he paid such attention to the music that when he reached home he noted down the en- tire piece. He was enabled a few days afterward to check the copy, when he found that he had not made single mistake. The next day he produced such a sensation in Rome by singing the 'Miserere' at concert that Pope Clement XIV requested that he should be pre- sented to him. Thus, by his wonderful memory, he was enabled to begin with success his musical career. ."-New York Ledger.

taste in dress, and the secret is very sim pie. It is that they are exquisitely neat, and when they cannot afford hand some silk dress they will buy cheaper one of some good quality of wool or even cotton, and have it made up just as pret- tily, though perhaps not so elaborately trimmed.
 l recently saw very pretty house robe made of blue and fawn wool in hair lne stripe, the front of the skirt left open and draped in very graceful way. Under the opening was a panel of velutina in navy blue, and the waist and sleeves were of the same, with full front drapery of the woolen material. Nothing could be really plainer, and nothing daintier.
 Another very pretty home or street toilet was of ruby red cashmere, with three rows of quilled black ribbon all around the skirt. The corsage opened on the left with handsome cut jet but tons, and panaches of black silk passe. menterie on the chest and shoulders. Both of these dresses are of quite inex- pensive material, but the very most is made of them by the exquisite fit and good style.
 The new spring hats are curious things. Some are in the form of cookie shells, and others are like fiat disks. with a saucer crown under to hold them upon the head. A little tuft of plumes percheG in front and larger one on the back form the trimming. Bonnets are almost nothing as far as size is concerned Some are tiny crowns of flowers with two narrow strings. Velvet pansies, fine myosotis and miniature rosebuds, as well as violets, are placed so that they entirely cover some of the saucer shapes. Some of the black straw round hats have wreath of small flowers all around the brim, leaving the center quite bare. The crowns are low in all cases and en- tirely absent in many, but they are all becoming, and though small are very artistic in delicacy of finish and color.

THE DESERTED FARM.

A dust worn traveller draws his rein At sunsets dreamy hour, With longing look OCT hill and plain Gives sway to memory's power. Long years have passed since last he viewed His native heath and hill, And silence now with shadowy brood Makes nature weirdly still. There stands the homestead of his youth- And clustering round its door Come visions bright of love and truth From memory's endless store. He sees again his fathers form
 Within the doorway stand, His thin locks, whitened by the storm. By passing breezes famed; Mother and sisters, brothers, there Resume their wonted place, And lost awhile in scenes so fair
 He secs each loving face. But wakened from his blissful dream The past returns no more; Alone he stands while sunsets gleam Casts shadows on the door. Deserted now its windows blank
 Stare at the passerby, And weeds and grasses stale and rank, In wind swept chaos lie. No more from pastures green, at night, To farmyard come the kline. Nor homeward come with hearts so light The boys of "auld lang syne." No neighing steed from wonder stall
 Impatient calls his mate; The shades of night around him fall, And all Is desolate. He turns again-with lingering look
 Surveys the old domain. He hears the murnuring of the brook Which onward seeks the plain; His old New England hillside home,
 Amid the gathering gloom The wanderer turns once more to roam And leaves it to its doom. The signing winds a requiem sing
 Amid the cheerless calm, A saddened memory still to bring
 The old deserted farm"

A TETE-A-TETE ROCKING CHAIR.
 back and two sets of rungs, with seat about yard and half long and three quarters of yard deep. This same chair may be made on a southern plan tation or farm in any wooded district for couple of dollars. If in the south the material may be white oak, the splints firmly laced for the seat, and the woodwork well cut, but without that to give furniture shoppy look, some thing most objectionable and inartistic.
 For use at comfortable sitting room fireside the chair may be painted with white enamel paint and touched with gilt for more jaunty effect. A rich blue plush cushion, with yellow back, set at one corner of the chair, and hop bag or sachet pillow suspended from the other, covered with gay silk and tied about with fresh ribbon, and the warm resting seat is cosy enough in the added comforts.
 A cushion may also be fashioned to fit the seat of the chair, and covered with pretty cretonne or India silk in dull brown tinted stuff, or something in blue may be used, bound about the edge with a gold colored cord. Several small feather cushions in covers of varied hues of bright India silk may form nest on one side of the chair, or chair back cushion extending across the entire back of the chair may be made of feathers and GOV cred to match the seat cushion. It can be fastened to the back of the chair with rich festoons of ribbon. Another rich finish for comfort and beauty is to place a heavy fur rug, the usual fox or goat skin, which can be purchased at the stores unlined for little money, in white, rich black and mixed gray. The seat may be covered first with felt cushion in yellow or white felt, then with the fur rug thrown over the back reaching nearly to the floor; asquare cushion may then be placed at one side, and for cod climate one has an exquisite downy nest, cozy in comfort for many day dream while the embers burn low.

Death of A Hairless Man,

Elias Lyons, aged 80 years, was bur jed Saturday from his late residence, ten miles north of Muncie. MT. Lyons was one of the earliest settlers of the Missis- sinnewa valley. He possessed a marked physical peculiarity in the fact that he had no hair, being hairless from birth.

SILVER, UNDER FREE
COINAGE, REMAIN AT PAR
ITY WITH GOLD7

There are two questions connected
with the silV|r discussion now going on
which seem . be all controlling and on
which views seem very widely
to prevail. The first one is: Will there
be a difference between the value of sill
yer bullion and silver coins, under free
coinage?
The answer to this question is: If
every one can have his silver converted
into on, free of cost to HIM, then he will
take no less of it than the value of the
coins he can have made out of it. for this
he can get at all times =: the mint.
For instance. 1000 ounces of silver
will make 1892 standard silve: dollars
and leave 80 cents over. If everybody,
then, can have 1000 ounces of silver
stamped at the miut into 1892 dollar
pieces, free Of cost to him, and have the
80 cents left Ovur handed 20 him besides,
will he take less from anybody else?
Of course, the tri1ing cost of sending
the silver to the mint is not taken into
account in the discussion of this principle.
It would hardly St EN- necessary to fol-
low this line Of argument further to con-
vince anybody. ven a school boy, that
under free coinsge, there could be no diff
ference between the value of ID u 3e or
a pound Of silver in the form o: bars or
bullion, or any other form, and the same
weight OF silver in the form of coins.
The second question is: Will silver,
under free coinage IN this country, remain
at parity with gol !, on cur ratio of Is to
l, or will silver drive our gold away, and
the parity Of the metals be thus broken?
This is a more complicated que ton
and does not admit of so direct, or per
haps so plain, an answer as the first ques-
ton. Nevertheless, it is believed that it
admits of a convincing answer. Economic
principles, f sound and well established,
are as safe to follow as admitted principles
in any other science.
A recurrence, then, to a few well-set-
tied monetary principles viii help to an
s wer the second question. These ques-
tions are:
First. That metallic money distributes
itself, or is distributed, among the differ
ent commercial nations in proportion to
the wealth and trade of each and the con-
ditions under which money is used to
carry on trade.
Second. That q currency, part metallic
and part paper convertible into coin, Is
subject to the same law of distribution
that governs q purely metallic currency;
but in the case of q mixed, convertible
currency, only the metallic part passes
from country to country to country in the

FINANCES.
The Pecuniary Servitude eff Wives as 1t
Too Often Exists To-Day

Men who are rated as honorable, up
right citizens, dealing justly with their
~fellOw-men, will when a question of
money comes up, treat their wives, the
mother of their children, with less honesty
than they do the tax assessor, and wi h
much le-s consideration han they do
their Office boys. The children, when
not granted a certain weekly allowance,
are tipped" occasi naylly, but nothing
goes to the wife without some hagging,
duplicity or humiliation on her part.
Let it be understood that reference is
made solely to the pitiable state of things
which so widely prevails in the disbursir g
of moneys in the b Iusehold and the wife's
private purse. Here is an instance: For
twenty years Mrs. Brown has been a
faithful wife and mother, a prudent,
industrious house keeper, and a woman
much beloved and respected by all her
friends. Mr.. Brown was rated as a pros
porous business man, and as generous as
mOs men. But all this time Mrs. B OWL
had no money that she could absolutely
call her own. The credit system prevailed,
and, if, by any unusual means, a piece OF
money passed into her unaccustomed
palm, 1t had to be ~scrupulously accounted
for to the chancellor of the domestic ex-
chequer. She was slon- suffering woman
but her soul had chafed and worn against
the 20 ze till it was sick and sore. Still,
she had too much self respect, eve under
these degrading conditions, to wheedle,
lie or descend to small receptions to gain
her ends, and she a5h"rred a scene "
as much as any man living. So the little
gifts she felt like sending to a friend, the
few flowers to an in 7alid, the bit Of
damask to cove a chair seat, or the small
surprise for the children had to b, passed
by with some lines a rising lump in her
t roat, which even at times developed
into "a good cry" in private. Still, she
made no remonstrance. She was proud
in a certain way, and she believed the
existing state of things irrevocable.-
