1t was the grandmother who was the
first TO detect the musical gifts Of the child,
and this detection left profound impress
sion on the child herself, as if she, too, then
first made discovery of what was in her
The story formed her earliest distinct
memory Coming up from the country
to the town she was struck by the music
Of the military bugles that daily passed
through the street; and one day, when she
fancied herself alone in the house, she
crept to the piano on which her half sister
used TO practice her music, and, with one
finger, scrummed out for herself the fan
fare which she had caught from the SOL
dlers. But the grandmother was at hand.
and hearing the music called out the name
OF the half sister, whom she supposed it to
be, and little Jenny, in terror Of being
found out, hid under the square piano: she
was so small that she fitted in perfectly,
and the grandmother, getting no answer
to her calls, came in to look and presently
discovered her, and dragged her out and
was asto nished and said, Child, was that
you:' \ nd Jenny, in tears at her crime, con
fessed; hut the grandmother looked at her
deeply and in silence and when the mother
came back she told her and said: Mark
my words, that child will bring YOU help. -
And after that the neighborS used TO be
called IL 10 hear her play. As she told the
story in later years She would reproduce
most wildly the frightened look of the
child creeping away TO hide, and the sig
nlhcant .oOk Of the thunderstruck grand
mother Is she took in that it was indeed
the tiny creature of three years old who
had played the tune. She never forgot
the historic fanfare.

A FAIRY TALE OF SCIENCE.
The Originator of the Deadly Upas Tree
of Java and Other Shares of Fiction.


The Originator of the Deadly Upss Tree
of Java and Other Shares of Fiction.
Perhaps the deftest artist in this depart
ment o, fabrication was George Stevens
the SbakeSpearean commentator, says The
Nineteenth Century. Animated by an
impish spirit of trickery, 10 which jealousy
of rival antiquaries may have lent spice
of malice, he industriously devised cunning
snares for their feet. He would, for ex-
ample, disseminate fictitious illustrations
of Shah espeare's text in order that Malone,
who was his chief butt, might be entrapped
into adopting them and give him the graft
fication of correcting the blunder in his
next edition. Under the pseudonyms of
Collins and Amner he would insert para
graphs in the daily press purporting to be
curious extracts from rare books, copies of
which no one who wished to verify the
passages ever succeeded in discovering
Among these curiosities was the romantic
story (tlat has found its way into Todd's
Life OF Milton') of the poets having been
seen asleep under tree by lady who be-
came eramoured of his beauty and placed
in his hand some impassioued verses of
Guarini, which, when he awoke so fired
his fancy that he made a journey TO Italy
in the hope of tracing her. Another was
the story of the deadly upas tree of Java,
which long obtained credit as one of the
fairy ia es of science.

The biggest Ruby of the World.

The biggest ruby in the world is said to
be found il the car of Russia's crown
which has the distinction of being the
finest ever worn by any sovereign. In
shape it resembles bishops mitre, and on
its crest is a cross composed of five superb
diamonds, which support the biggest"
ruby. A foiiated arch, composed of eleven
magnificent diamonds, supports this cross,
and on each side of the arch is a loop of
thirty-eigh5 pearls, than which there are
none handsomer in the world.
