After a little pressing and much blush
| ing, he sang. The sad tremulous diminu-
endo; the melancholy passion the heart
rending crescendo, fell from his lips in
soulful globules of meiodious pathos The
applause was immense. Everybody was
surprised that he could sing atfall. Why
had ne not told them before. He was suf-
fused with happiness at his success. At
the next party he was called upon again
and acquitted himself as ably. At the
next and next and next, Chollie sang, at
the earnest solicitation of his friends. In
fact it got to be Il regular thing in the
crowd that when conversation Jagged aud
there was nothing else to do, it was under
stood that everybody must call for that
song. Cholle never changed it. He never
learned another. As time went 10y. other
songs came, were popular and then .died
out, to be succeeded by Others but he still
remained true to the song that had found
his voice. Finally the crowd decided that
it was inhuman to keep 1t up longer, so
the first friend went TO Chollle and talked
to him about the song; advised him in re-
gard 10 one doeful passage. See here, he
said, don't you think it would be more at
fecting if you would hold your head up at
this point and close your eyes. I imagine
the effect would be wonderful
So at the next party Cholle took his
seat at the piano. He sang; and the rem
ditiOn had never been so wildly entranc-
ing. so deeply pathetic. His audience sat
immovable The dolefuI passage drew
near. Chollie closed his eyes. and with
the throbbiug inspiration of tender love
in his voice he sang TO the end. IL was
the effort of his life. He arose, ready for
the congratulations of the company. 4

1t is no sign of weakness to possess this
fear. On the contrary, it is a very dull
soul and very stupid mind that will not
feel these little keen thrusts at the indi-
viGual Of our most anxious solicitation. A
woman with wonderful tact or man with
prepondering aplomb may throw his chiu
in the air and by practice be invulnerable
and adamantine to the vicious wit of some
hair brain, whose instruments of torture
would be unavailing, if it were not for an
audience that he always has and which
always laughs at his sallies. AS great a
mind as Oliver Goldsmith's felt this pang
and the infant voice of his genius retorted
in a couplet that was the first CLEAN of
wit from his soul. When he was lad of
nine years a number of young folks had
assembled at his uncle's to dance. One
of the company, named Cummings, played
on the violin. In the course of the even
ing, Oliver undertook horn-pipe. His
short and clumsy figure and his face pitted
and discolored with the smallpox, rem
dered him a ludicrous figure in the eyes Of
the musician, who made merry at his eX-
pense, clubbing him with his little Aesop.
Goldsmith was nettled by the jest, and,
stopping short in the horn-pipe exclaimed:
Our herald hath proclaimed this saying,
See Aesop dancing and his monkey playing"

Jeers, however, are not without their
ridiculous side, and derision has function.
A friend tells me of a little case here in
Wichita, where l think it did some good
service, and as the victim finally caught
on, must have had the weight of a brick
house. No excuse is offered for the vic
TINS friends who should have kindly
posted him. There is really no expiration
for them. The victim in question is a
young man. 1t so happened that in the
defaulted disposition of Gods gifts that
this young man was not awarded a voice
for singing. But, Notwithstanding, it
transpired that in the mad swirl of this
worlds passions, loves and tragedies he
ran across a pathetic little song which
touched his heart and at the same time
developed his voice, if so strong verb
can be used. He tried it at home by him
self There was particular sadness about
his voice that touched the fibrouS fabric of
his heart and, with an auroral radiance
on his cheek, he wept a silent tear over his
own tenderness. Then he went to a friend
and asked his candid opinion. The friend
asseverated the conviction he already
entertained of his talent and
at the next evening out, he entrusted his
secret to a !Eumber aud in few minu es
there was clam orous request for Choliie
to sing.

The supply Of Mhalebone.

About 100000 pounds of whalebone were
secured from the Atlantic catch of whales
during 1890, and less than that amount was
secured from the Pecific waters. Fine
whalebone is worth its weight in silver
and only the wealthy woman can afford to
use it. The ordinary principles Of produc-
ton and trade are overturned as regards
whalebone. Modern appliances and i'm
provements appear to have decreased rather
than to have enlarged the amount OF the
product. The price of whalebone tluctuates
worse than the stock market, owing to the
fact that il is impossible to calculate upon
the amount of seasons catch until the
bone has actually been extracted
There are only seven manufacturers n
this country, according to the latest report
five in New York and two in Boston
They pay $4,000 Tor ton of raw material,
and split it up and prepare il for market
