Harpa's Basar
Let every girl remember, too. that
though her teacher wishes her to study
tue G sharp minor sonata, aud is
about to introduce her TO the earlier
concertos OF its great composer, yet she
does not desire her to perform them to
any audience, however informal, for
many months to come. How reason
able all this would appear to parents
and pupils in any other department
than music! What preposterous pre-
sumption it would seem to the most
crude father or mother Tor their son or
daughter to act the part OF Coriolanug
or King Lear, OpheIia or Beatrice, be.
cause those characters were being
studied in school! Even to read role
in n Shakespeare club requires much
skill; but to attempt to portray the
completely OF mind and heart and
spirit involved in any one OF the
dramatists chief personages requires u
scope OF experience, drill, and an
artistic address ludicrously beyond
youth.
But Just as uncommon as the demand
OF this sort is, so is that common which
is made by parents, friends and COM
panions OF the young amateur in music.
Mozart sonatas, Schumann fantasies,
List transcriptions, are all asked for
with equal nonchalance. Upon you,
yourselves, and upon your teachers,
therefore, boy and girl, young woman
and Young man, amateurs, lies the re-
sponsibility OF discrimination. Ven
ture first to interest, then to he admired;
choose objective rather than subjective
compositions-and il you don't quite
know what is meant by that, go this
morning and ask your teacher TO tell
you. Contrast two short. sometimes
even three very snort, pieces to play at
one sitting, rather than any one long
composition. Be sure that you yourself
know what impression you intend them
to make upon your listeners, and don't
wait until you feel that you have actu-
ally attained your ideal OF them before
playing them; the fact that YOU are on
the way to the attainment oil it is the
important thing Then every separate
performance of it will clarity your own
conception, and increase the possibility
OF your complete mastery OF it.
Don't shriyol into heap OF senti-
mental constituencies il somebody tells
you when you have done that he thinks
one OF the pieces lawfully nice" but
he doesn't like the other ut ali. !"
Remember that man, aud try to play to
him again before tho winter is over.
You have attracted his attention; you
have interested him enough for him to
have an opinion; that is a great
achievement for a young player or
singer. Then go homo and look care
fully Mt the piece which he didn't like
at ALL" II, after due consideration, you
still think your choice OF it was good,
and the position in which you placed it
the best within your power ut your
present stage Of progress, then seek an
opportunity to play it to that man
again; try it repeatedly upon others;
and you will, not unlikely before tho
season is over, have the singular and
amusing experience OF hearing that Mr..
So.and.so has told some friend Of his
and vours to ask you for that very
piece

is A THRILLING STORY

The history OF the General" and OF
the confederate flag with which it was
decorated lend interest to the disap-
pearance OF the flag. The General" is
the locomotive that was stolen by the
Andrews raiders" during the war
These raiders consisted OF twenty.ona
federal scouts from the Second, Twenty
first and Thirty-third Ohio regiments,
and were sent in disguise, under the
leadership OF ]. ]. Andrews. OF Ken
lucky. within the confederate lines.
Tho object was 20 capture train on
tho Western & Atlanta railroad, the
-tate railroad oil Georgia, and burn the
bridges between Atlanta and Chatta-
nooga, thereby severing communication
between the source OF reiniorcemcnts
and supplies and the actual seat OF the
war in tennessee. To cripple this line
OF road would practically cut the con-
iederacy in two. Mitcheli's forces, act
ing in concert with the Andrews raiders,
would, the moment the bridges south
Of Chattanooga were destroyed, move
upon that point and one stroke hold
possession OF the military key OF the
campaign. 1t was considered as deeply
laid scheme as was ever conCocted.
The raiders, di5guiaed in citizens
clothes, lett the federal encampment at
ShelbyYiIle Monday evening. April Z,
1862, and proceeded in detaehments of
two and three across the Cumberland
mountains and the Tennessee river.
They arrived the next friday evening
ut Chattanooga in time for the south
bound train to Mrrietta. To alIay sus-
picion en- route they represented them
selves as ardent secessionisls from
Fleming county, Kentucky, going TO es.
rouse the Confederate cause.

One of tho flags was confederate
one secured from Libby prison. 1t
lloatcd over the scaiTold from which
Andrews was hung. On this account it
had special interest in connection
with the General" and it was given
the post Of honor A large oil can was
placed on top OF the engine. and to this
can the flagstaff was made fast.
Many persons often inquired about
the flag, and not a few old soldiers have
asked Mr.. Dean why the confederate
flag should be tloated above the stars
and stripes. Mr.. Dean always replied
that the flag was Il valuable relic, and
was put high up on the engine to keep
it out Of the hands OF visitors.
However, the flag disappeared We'd
nesday night.
ut must have been stolen by relic
hunters" said Mr.. Dean, yesterday.
Among the other flags that were on
the "General" were three OF the Union
that were planted over the graves OF the
hanged men in Atlanta.
A great effort is being made TO dis
cover the man who took the dag, but so
far it has been unavaiiing. In the de-
partment of transportation the opinion
il held that the Rag must have been
taken BY some one who objected to its
prominence. At any rate the incident
is liable to result IN much iuss.

THEY CAPTURED THB TRAIN.

They spent Friday night at Marietta
and took the early Saturday morning
train back to Chattanooga. At Big
Shanty Conductor Fuller and his men
stopped for breakfast, and no sooner
were they out oil sight than two box
cars connected with the train were un.
coupled; tho throttle OF the engine
General pulled and the raiders flew
northward at iull speed withtheir cap.
tured prize.
Conductor Fuller ran after the iugi.
tives on foot until no found hand car,
which enabled him to get an engine at
Etowah river. He pressed on in pur-
suit, and the raiders were detained by 4
blockade at Kingston Junction. Fuller
secured the powerful engine Texas"
and followed ut the rate oil a mile
,ulnute. The race that ensued was pro-
bablythe most exciting locomotive race
ever made. Near Ringgold the raid
ers were forced 10 abandon the
General for lack OF water and fuel.
The raiders were pursued through
the woods by armed men and Blood
hounds and all were captured. Eight
OF them, among whom was Andrews,
we're hanged, eight others escaped,
aud six were exchanged.
Prot. L. Warren Clark, for number
Of years in the employ OF the Japanese
government as professor OF chemistry,
got the engine Tor the fair through the
general passenger agent OF the Nash
Vile l. Chattanooga road, which leases
the Western & Atlantic. II has at
tracted Il great deal OF attention Ut the
exposition, and on July Mr.. Clark
decorated it with flags.

GOOD IDEAS TRAVEL FAST.
A Common Trick That Tradesmen Have oi
Turning Them Into Money.

Turning Them Into Money
New ideas are difficult 70 sell, but very
easy 70 give away-in fact, reporter mas
discovered that IL they are good ideas 9th
or folks adopt them without being asked
and in a very annoying way sometimes
For instance, the reporter had invented
scarfpin and had his design executed by
manufacturing ieweler The jeweler,
when delivering the pin, remarked; That
is very pretty. II is a design that Will
probably sell we'll We are thinking OF
making a few thousand for the trade,
thus destroying the chief value OF the orna-
nent
Not long afteryard this same person had
the misfortune 70 break two wash bowls IL
one week by humping them against the END
OF the washstand in his summer home In
the country. He decided that IL would De
cheaper and better 70 initiate the city plan
of using q f xed bowl with a plug in the
bottom. In his mind he planned a mere
frame of hard, polished wood, to be sup
ported on plated metal brackets and 70 nave
a big bowl sunk in the shelf, with plug
in the bowl and slop jar underneath
When this idea was explained TO member
of a wholesale firm In the plumbing trace,
be remarked: Il should not wonder IL IL
would be a good thing TO make lot OF
those stands. People can't have running
water in the country, but that is the very
next thing TO having it. / believe you nave
hit on a very salable thing"
| He seemed to pride himself on beng a
| connoisseur of other folks ideas, for he
said that recently a man had come along
| with an order for bathtub on wheels, but
| he did not think that would recommend II
| self to the trade or the public. This man
| had no bathroom in his country house and
| could not spare a room to make one OIL
| Therefore he hit on the plan OF putting q
| bathtub on wheels and moving it into the
| bedroom of whoever called for a bath An
| ordinary iron porcelain lined tub was what
| he wanted. fitted with wheels with rubber
| tires. BY putting hot and cold water TAU

bedrooms being on one fioor-he expected
to be as well off as if he had a bathroom.
When statues are made, the custom Il
for the sculptor to reproduce his design IL
miniature in plaster of paris, and copies
this are given to favored friends. Away
in such cases the recipients are INFORMED
that only a very limited number of thes
statuettes has been made and that therein
lies a great part of their value. The favo
is then requested that if any ones statuett
breaks he will be very careful to lntrust l
to none but highly reputable repairer

A Deaf Mute Club.

Paris has a number of very peculiar clubs
at the present time, more perhaps than any
other city It's deaf mute club has been
frequently spoken of by tourists. 1t is ex-
aetly what it processes to bean association
of deaf and dumb men, all of them com
paratively wealthy.
1t is usual for man thus afflicted, and
who is in position to retain a staff of do
mestics, to retain these as interpreters, but
In this club there is no pandering to mod
ern ideas, and no servant is engaged unless
he or she has lost the power to either speak
or hear.
As result the establishment is as silent
as the tomb and is an exceedingly unpleas
narrts oof sed OyeeIyh he fsL,tt -;
ratus is used to call domestics, but instead
of the usual bell there is an arrangement
whereby the party called gets a slight
shock.-Paris Letter.

The Arabs Donkey.

One sees Arabs coming into Constan-
tinople with donkey load of wood,
which they sell for francs. They have
come % miles with it, sell it, and next
day ride the donkey back. AS a meal
costs them but 2 cents, the wood
nothing, and the donkey does all the
work, what seems small profit is really
a good one. And who is it that earns it!
All saddle beasts in the east go what
our Anglomaniacs call artificial galts
in fact, three-fourths Of all the animals
in the world do so. Mules which are
ridden always "sidle" or amble, all don
keys running-walk, rack or amble. But
nowhere except in our southern state;
have these gaits been studied as an art
improved on and bred from.-Colone

How to Keep a Chameleon.

The Florida chameleon which is frequent
ly brought home by the tourist, is a bright
and intelligent creature. He requires al
most unlimited sunshine to bask in, and
flies, which he catches on the end of his long
tongue, to eat A fernery is comfortable
place for him. This fellow, it is said, has a
temper, and if not we'll treated or if leased
he will show fight, though he can. hardly
do much harm. The genuine chameleon,
after whom the Florida lizard is named. is
one of the quaintest and oldest of pets, but
he is q native of the old world and rarely
seen in our country.
Another American of the family, often
sent from the west and south to pet lovers,
is called the horned toad, though he is no
toad, but lizard. He is said to be an in
teresting pet and capable of being taught.
All the small members OF this race live on
insects and need to be kept in very warm
quarters.-Harper's Bazaar.
