Songs and Their Writers.

"The composition of a really popular
song, one that catches the fancy of the
classes and masses, is feat that is gov
erned more by luck than knowledge"
recently remarked well-known music
publisher.
''From literary point of view the
majority of successes in this line are
atrocious, while their sentiment--if they
are of the sentimental order-is gener-
ally inclined to be both insipid and
mawkish.
"a we'll. written piece of verse, con-
veying an unconventional sentimental
thousand to succeed. The quality of
the eutire composition must be moder-
ately bad viewed from high-class stand
point, but exactly how bad only the
fates can decide.
''In comic songs that catch on original
ideas are absolutely necessary, though
any humorous ballad in which the char
acters are knocked down aud dragged
out with great frequency appeals strongly
to the popular fancy.
"'Down Went McGinty' and Throw
Him Down, McCloskey' are beautiful ex-
amples of this type.
"Some song writers make great deal
of money from their compositions. The
author of In the Cleaning raked in
about $4,000 from it, but the greater
number do not realize much from their
work.
''But it is like gambling in way, and
the knowledge that some day they may
stumble on song that will bring them
fortune if not fame-for nobody ever
remembers the author of popular song
keeps them at it. And it's almost
certainty that they'll never be able to re-
peat their first success. New York

The Famous "Unter den Linden. e"

1t is the widest street of the capital
(Berlin). In the middle there is broad,
unpaved but excellently cared for prom.
enade, bounded on one side by riding
path, and upon the other by a stone
paved road, designed particularly for
heavy vehicles that might interrupt
traffic. Enclosing this central avenue
and the two side ones are four rows OF
lindens, which have given the street its
name. But you must not think Of the
huge, wonderful lindens OF our Northcrh
Germany. The old trees have suffered
great deal from time aud the hostile in-
fluences OF great city, especially from
the gas-always fatal TO vegetation

A RamrJd Through tho Brain.

An Australian journal gives the follow.
ing case, which is nearly rs remarkable
as the crowbar accident to Mr.. Phineas
Gage: "Robert Campbell, young man
connected with the Postal Department,
was admitted to the Melbourne Hospital
with pistol ramrod through his brain.
The story of the accident is that Camp
bell was out shooting with a muzzlc-
loading pistol. While he was ramming
home the charge the weapon exploded,
and the ramrod, which was composed Of
fencing wire, with a lead plug at the
end, made by the victim, was sent
through his cheek across the eye and
came out at the top OF his head.
DIR. Harris stated that when the man
was admitted to the hospital it was found
that the ramrod had passed through his
cheek, on the left side of the nose, into
the infraorbital plate OF the superior
maxilla, right through the eye, going in
its course through the superior orbital
plate OF the frontal bone, the brain. and
coming out at the top Of the skull, about
the middle OF the internal portion OF tho
parietal bone. The wire portion Of tho
ramrod was sticking out of the skull
about six inches.
"Dr. Charles Ryan. assisted by DIR.
Harris, trephined the skull, having first
cut oil the wire. When the bone was
removed the leaden base came with it,
aud the eye, which had been completely
destroyed, was taken out. Antiseptio
lotion was then syrineed through the ey,
socket, along the course the ramrod hao
taken, aud by this means the wound wai
well washed. Campbell is now GONZALES.

LIFE AND LOVE.

Life's a fabric Of fancies, whims, dreams,
silhouettes
interviewer with pleasures and pangs-
smiles and sighs
Lcve is simply tissue of tears and regrets,
Lost delights, bitter bliss broken hearts.
weeping eyes!
Yet, withal, there are passions conceived
and confessd,
Come what may throughout life, whose
sweet fragrance may cling
Like the breath of rose that is kissed and
caressd-
Around hearts, tho Fate crude disillusions
may bring.
Nor does love dream that Destiny oft holds
In store
Certain bitterness, cleverly hidden from
view;
Even so, still worship. still fondly ADORE
You-my life and my love-and I am
loyal to you.

COLUM BUS.
Columbus was, they tell us now.

Columbus was, they tell us now.
A man of flaw and fieck-
A man who steered a pirate prov,
And trod a slaver's deck;
In narrow, bigot blindness curled,
Cruel and vain was he
To such was given to lift a world
From out the darkenej sea.
Though weak and cruel, vain, untrue,
From all earth's high and low,
God picked this man, His work to do.
Four hundred years ago,
There in the distance standeth he,
Bound on his mighty quest,
This rough old Admiral of the Sea,
Still pointing toward the West,
There stands he on his westward PROV,
A man entirely strong;
So great, the bald truth spoken now
Can never do him wrong;
Though SLAYER, pirate, he might be,
He had that gift of fate
That wise and sane insanity
That makes the great man great.
