Lost Music.

The little clavichord Of past times
needs that present day pianist should
should put his ear to it in order to hear
it. Its delicate, miniature gradarious Of
tone would be lost indeed on q modern
audience. Yet Bach's forty-eight pre-
ludes aud fugues were written for It.
Were they Intended for single hearer?
String quartetts still hold their own, but
the day is not far of when they, too,
must disappear from public life before
the msriad. headed audience of the i'm

private circles, and become again what
they were originally intended to be
chamber music. Some day-:nay it be a
distant onel-they may be revived by
the curious in those things, AS specimens
Of a charming but obsolete form of art.

A CULINARY MAxEsHrpr.

II is said that some Of the most valu.
.ble discoveries have been made by acci-
lent, and there Is every reason to believe
he statement. Not long since, an mex.
erienced housekeeper found herself In
dilemma from which she extracted
.erself in a rather convenient and orig
nal fashion. Being left alone In the
lou.e for a few days, she was somewhat
lisconcertcd by the arrival OF unexpected
quests. 1t was necessary to prepare q
nasty breakfast In order that they might
get an early train; the oatmeal, there
,orc, was partly cooked the night before
and was set on the back Of the kitchen
.ange to be ready for the morning. As
,lten under such circumstances, the pro-
portions were somewhat out Of order,
md when the breakfast time caufe the
oatmeal was little better than porridge.
Jrowding the fire seemed to do no good.
md as there was no time for cooking
anything else, she ventured an expert
ment. Wheat -four was sifted into tho
dish and stirred rapidly TO prevent
Jumps. After moments cooking, 1t
was served, and, as might be imagined,
with good deal of doubt as to results.
But the unanimous verdict OF the party
that 1t was tho best oatmeal they had
aver tasted set doubt at rest aud taught
Inc housckccper "a very useful lesson.

The moment when the dog most en-

wags his tail most vigorously, in order
to announce his discovery to his fellow

whenever he was pleased, aud the more
pleased he Is the moro vigorously he
wags his tail, so that the wagsing of the
