Mulcting Wagner.

Wagner, when young man, wrote a
sonata which had a fair success, but in
after life he made every effort to suppress
It. Going TO the publisher he said: Have
you any copies OF that miserable thing still
unsold;' Yes" was the reply, Il have
quite a number of them in stock send
them to me at once, with a bill, said the
composer. A thousand copies were soon
afterward delivered at his door. The bill
was big one, but it was paid, somewhat
grudgingly, and Wagner thought he had
done with the thing. What was his sur
prise, then, at receiving two or three
months later on another consignment, this
time of five hundred copies.
II thought you had only thousand Of
these things" he protested. THAT was all
j had in stock" explained the dealer; but
these have been returned by my agents, 70
whom l wrote that You wished TO have the
sonata suppressed" Wagner WINGED; bat
there was nothing for it but to pay the
bill. And thereafter, whenever business
was dull with this crafty publisher, a few
hundred copies Of the sonata would be
struck off on shop worn paper, and deliv-
cred at the composers door, with a memo
randum TO the effect that they had just
come back from remote places where they
had been sent for sale.-San Francisco

There Is nothing stranger TO youth
than the persistency with which age prof
fers its experience; there is nothing more
trying to age than the determination Of
youth not to accept it. The fathers,
mothers and guardians who have learned
their hard lessons would be glad to i'm
part their knowledge. without its ruin
GUS price, to those they love. But the
youngsters will have none Of it. No;
they must buy their own wisdom, "dree
their own weird" pay the piper" them
selves No yearning affection can shield
them from the trials and temptations
they rush so gayly to meet.
But why should the elders continually
mourn that such is the case? They have
spent their lives in learning how 10 live.
So did their predecessors. Their chill
dren will do the same The law Is uni

An Old Fashioned Luncheon.

A UNIQUE luncheon was given recently
in Brooklyn-nothing less, indeed, than
an old fashioned one. You are to come
at 10, bring your work and stay until 5, "
dictated the hostess, and at noon sharply
the twenty women hidden duly appeared,
all but two, with their sewing. Bonnets
were dotted and real visit was entered
upon. The luncheon was delicious
one. and was served without too arbi-
trary following OF the course style-an
agreeable medium, indeed, between no
courses and "all plates" as the country
man explained his first French restaurant
dinner.
When the guests returned 70 the par
lor, instead of the brief standing round
before leave taking, which characteriZes
the modern fashionable luncheon. chairs
were cozily drawn into groups, needles
and thimbles came out, and though, as
one who was there confessed, no serious
amount of work was accomplished. the
pleasure and sociability Of the afternoon
were pronounced, as TIE company in
cluded some OF Brooklyn's representa-
tive women. and the hostess is prouli-

nuisances. which the application Of ordi-

failed to remove. While they accept al
most anything that comes in their way
as edible, they have penchant for eggs,
and the way they convey them from the
nests to their holes is thus related by
Sam Whaley, the jailer, who has made
their habits study:

have built with more wonderful images,

Il would. | would" exclaimed the
prince, delighted with the expectation.
The power is in your hand" an
swered the strange visitor, and vanished.
For several minutes the prince stood
as if awakened from dream. But not
long, for just at that moment young
girl, favorite with the prince, came on
tiptOe behind him. Noiselessly, as the
soft breeze that scarce moved the dark
hair that fell uncontrolled over her white
shoulders, she crept up, and was about to
clasp her small hands over his eyes,
when the prince, seeing the shadow, and
excited by the strange visitor who had
Just left him, wheeled suddenly around,
and in doing SO touched the laughing
girl with his staff.
AS a statue of the whitest marble, she
stood before him.
AS the prince stood wondering at the
magic power of the apparently common
place staff. courier approached IN all
haste with message from distant
province governed By very dear friend
Of Prince Ali.
The GREATNESS messenger fell on his
face before the prince. and after salam-
ing after the manner Of the day and re-
covering breath enough to speak, he
begged the pardon Of the prince for first
exacting promise Of secrecy IN regard
to the matter upon which he had been
sent. it being his masters special order.
Ia his anxiety the prince raised the
hand that held the staff and placed it on
the shoulder of the exhausted messenger,
and he. too. was marble.
As the days went by the palace filed
with strange images, and the poSsessor
OF the wonderful staff began TO long for
the supernatural donor. The possession
of his gifg began 10 be a weight, and
each image added TO the palace was a
weight added to the burden Of Its ruler.
Sill the longed for visitor came not.
Al last, when the prince was almost
driven TO madness, his strange visitor
again appeared. Before he could ask a
question of the descendant of the great
Mahmoud the staff was thrust into his
hands and he was prayed by the memory
of the great leader TO restore 10 life the
silent images that, instead Of adorning,
cast gloom over the palace.

strange visitor. pointing 10 the figure Of
the mischievous girl favorite. Look
at the grace, the smile almost bursting
into laughter.
1t is beautiful, most beautiful an

be TO me more beautiful than al"
And that" exclaimed the aged man.
Look how natural that courier is about
