0 OF A PIANO..

A Genius Who Found Difficulty in Keep
Ing O vcu to His Sweetheart.
Probably the severest ordeal that
genius can undergo is to be deprived Of
the exercise of its powers. NJ. de Pont-
martin had a pathetic illustration of
this in his acquaintance with one of the
greatest pianists of the present century.
He relates the strange story in LES
Souvenirs dun Vieux Critique."
Though not a player himself, NJ. de
Pontmartin had a fine piano, One day
the proprietor of the village hotel called
to say that the evening before a gentle
man. apparently n Hungarian or an
Austrian, had arrived at his house, a
person about N. Pontmartin's age, ele-
CANT of appearance and wearing an ex-
preston Of touching melancholy.
In the morning, it seemed, the
stranger would take no breakfast, but
besought NJ. Pierron, the hotel keeper,
for a piano. saying that circumstances
had prevented his touching one for Il
year.
A little later the stranger was seated
at Nj. Pontmartin's piano, and it was
soon manifest that he was not only 6
wonderful artist but all inventor o,
new methods. whose touch tripled the
power and volume of the instrument
He played on and on. Shortly before
midnight he seemed to put his whole
soul into improvising a funeral march
which ended with a finale of wonderful
tragic beauty just as the village clock
struck ~.
"Adien and thanks" said the strange
guest, not waiting to hear NJ. Pont
martins exclamation: ut is l wht
thank You! Ny piano is sacred hence
forth" The next morning he Wen
away, begging NJ. Pierron not to ash
his real name.
The following year, just after hear
ing List, NJ. Pontmartin called on hi
friend, Zimmerman. He was explain
ing to the incredulous musician that hi
admiration for the great List wa
tempered by the memory OF an incoln
parable genius whom he had heard q
Avignon, when there was a knock u
the door, and as the critic relates, "
heard q voice that thrilled me say

Sam's Sin Laden Soul.

Mr.. T. received a message from his
wife telling him Ito hurry home quick,
that the horse had kicked Sam to
DEATH" Mr., T. rushed home and found
that his horse had kicked Sam, the col
ored hostler, in the region of the stom-
ach, and he looked like n dying man.
Sam thought he was going to die. and
began to unburden his sin laden soul:
"Marse John. Use gwine ter die. but
befo' l go l want ter tell yer whar
yer'll find dat bran new bride yer
bought de oder day az what yer
thought some niger had stolen-it's

thought fell out err de karridge-dat's
under de front do'step. An de ole
pistol wat wus in dc buro' draw. yer'il
find dat in my trunk"
And various and sundry other things
that had been missed at different times
were mentioned by Sam and theil
whereabouts disclosed. When San
had confessed his misdeeds, he seemed
to get better-confession ia good fol
the body as well as the soul. He finally
recovered. but he now moves about the
premises with a penitent air. -Birning

Antiquity of the Umbrella.

rain or a screen from the sun, but it

were s~unshades. In countries where
very little clothing is worn rain does
not make much difference. but the sun

The bill of the mosquito is a complex
institution. 1t has a blunt fork at the
head and is apparently grooved. Work
ing through the groove and projecting
from the angle of the fork is a lance
of perfect form, sharpened with a fine
bevel- Beside it the most perfect lance
looks like a hand saw. On either side
of the lance two saws are arranged,
with the points fine and sharp and the
teeth well refined and keen. The backs
of these saws play against the lance.
When the mosquito alights with its
peculiar hum it thrusts its keen lance
and then enlarges the aperture with
the two saws, which play beside the
lance until the forked bill with its CO.
pillary arrangement for pumping the
blood can be inserted. The saving
process Is what CRATES upon the nerves
of the victim and causes him to strike
wildly at the sawyer. 49, journal oil

The Story of a Physician Who Was the

The story OF q Physician who was the
Victim of circumstances
When the doctors. in a jov;al mood,
get together, they invariably tell stories
if they have any time on their hands.
Half a dozen Rochester physicians were
feeling particularly happy and exultant
a few days ago. They had passed a
delightful hour in making IN examina-
ton of the body of a man killed in an
accident. and were well pleased with
each other and the gentlemen who had
furnished them with their scientific
amusement When they were through
their work they adjourned to the Office
Of one of their number and began tell
ing their experiences and "reminiscences.
They told of exciting amputations and
e~xhilarating operations until it came
