ADELINA PATTI.

An Amusing Anecdote Characteristic OF
the Great Spanish operate Singer.
Considerable gossip has been created
in Paris by the appearance of impress
ario Schurmann's book which deals
chiefly with anecdotes about Adelina
Patti Some OF the stories are, like the
following, characteristic of the diva and
are amusing:
When the company which NJ. Schur-
mann was plotting was about to start
for Bucharest, Nine. Patti absolutel y
refused to proceed to that place, on &C.
count of the severe cold and deep snow.
What was NJ. Schurmann to do? All the
seats in the theater in Bucharest had
been sold in advance. Suddenly a
thought struck him. He wrote to his
agent in advance thus:
"Send me by return telegram in the
following terms: The Italian and Rou-
manian nobility are here preparing a
splendid reception for the arrival OF
Nine. Patti. The ministry will be
represented. Slelghs, torches and
music TELEGRAPH the hour of you1
arrival The faithful deputy oheyed
his instructions. Let NJ. Schurmann
continue his tale. 'On reading the
telegram the diva flushed with pleasure,

wish it
'|In the evening we alighted from the
train at Bucharest. On the platform
stood sixty gentlemen in line, calm and
silent, all in full dress. The torches
blazed, and the flags waved, flowers fell
in profusion, and the band played the
national airs.
& Welcome, madam, in the name OF
the nobility exclaimed an elderly
gentleman in Italian.
SHINE Patti thanked him with tears
of emotion and gratitude in her eyes,
got into the sleigh amid roar of cheer
ing, and, escorted by her sixty admirers
all in full dress, made her triumpha
entry into Bucharest.
AT the door of the hotel, whist the
Iivas redoubled in force, l asked my
agent-in-advance to follow me inside.
Impossible he whispered.

A SONG OF THE HEART.
BY MAY MELVIN WARD.

Adown in the fields the harvesters' song
Rings out Ger the goldening grain.
The words are those I've heard oft before,
Recalling the past and its pain.
They carry me back 10 d night long dead,
A night meath a southern sky,
When the waters of blue in the neighborins
gulf
Smiled up at the stars on high,
Where the air was sweet with jasmine breath,
And calm was the wind and still
AS it gently toyed with the tresses of brown
On the head of my bonnie Rill.
And babe her farewell with ling ring kiss
As her eyes fast filled with tears,
While we vowed to be true till we met again,
Though that meeting be not for years.
She thought of the moment Of parting, at hand
And of the years unborn;
Hope whispered to NE d return again
When my brow FameS wreath would adorn;
But to her 1t seems We were parting for aye
That when Times long course had been run
If we met it would be but as strangers meet,
When they talk Of past love as in fun.
All many's the dream youth weaves of fame,
And many's the heart that's sad
And many change do think we'd make
If our lives to live over we had
And if in the days that are vet to dawn
My Rill could awaken to life again;
If here to- day, in her old, sweet way,
She could sing me that olden refrain,
I'm sure all the laurels I've won through life
I'd gladly renOunce for her dear sd e
And give up the glory of future days
If | could but call her wife.
But treasure is valued not till it's gone,
And so from my loved one l sailed away
Have won renOWn in foreign land.
She sleeps in a grave by that southern bay.

The Curse of Starch.

An artist in this city inveighs bitterly
against starch as one of the curses OF
this Nineteenth Century. "Not only
does it make our clothes unpleasant to
wear, but it makes them hideous to look
at" Bringing out copy Of Tanagra
fgurine, he continued: "Now look at
the beauty and simple dignity Of that
toga, and contrast it with the dress of
modern man. That was soft and yield
ing, the modern shirt, collar, cuffs, hats,
shoes, corsets, even the women's gowns
are hard and unbending. The effect of
antique dress was grace, the effect Of
our dress is that of stiffness and discom-
fort. 1t is more than an effect-it is a
fact Nobody could be easy or look
thoroughly well in our clothes. We
want to organize reform movement
gaainst starch. "-Ne,U York Sun.

ToOthsome Giraffe Meat.

Judging by the details Of the edible
value of the giraffe, given by writer in
the London Standard, it would pay
some enterprising and, if such a phe-
nomenal creature exists, rich farmer to
start alarm of CRATES in England.
Giraffe meat is said to be excellent
second, indeed, to only two or three
game animals in Africa. It is not unlike
veal, with a game flavor, but there is
a slight aromatic taste. The meat of a
fat young COW giraffe is delicious, and
comparable to almost any game flesh in
the world. The tongue-from eighteen
to twenty-one inches in lengths a
real delicacy, and as to the marrow
bones, of giraffe, there is no other
luxury in Africa comparable to them.
The milk of the giraffe, it is also said
is rich and well favored.

ON TOP OF ST. PAUL'S.
Some Sights Visible to Ambitious Steeple
Climbers in London.

Some Sights Visible to Ambitious Steeple-
Climbers in London.
There is only one st. Paul's and upon
the summit of its dome there is but one
ball. At long intervals a Londoner, and
more frequently tourist, climbs to this
ball and sticks his head and shoulders
inside. Having done this and looked
upon the heart of the world from the
stone gallery and the golden gallery,
and upon the congregation from the
whispering gallery, he returns to earth
and tells his friends and acquaintance
of his feat and advises them to follow
his example. The number of persons
who make this pilgrimage averages
about forty per day. To reach the ball
it is necessary to climb $40 steps of
many varieties. The proportions Of the
giided globe are in perfect keeping with
its surroundings. 1t weighs $500
pounds. The gilded cross that towers
this ball nearly all London is seen on q
clear day.
Why there are so many kinds ofsteps
in the cathedral no one pretends to eX-
plain. In the opinion Of those who
have counted them, to climb these steps
is equal to covering twenty miles on an
ordinary road. 1t is universally consid-
cred, however, that the return journey
is equal to a Russian bath. The first
steps are of wood. These are succeeded
by steps of stone, and these in turn by
iron ones. Then there are ladders,
some with a gentle slant, while others
stand so straight that to those who climb
they appear to lean backward. The
first ladder stands on the crown Of the
second dome, where an officer gives
necessary directions to such men as
want to see the ball, for few try to go
above the crown of the dome, being
content to rest there and watch some
exceptionally active sightseer do the
rest

Sensible people sometimes make very
odd mistakes, which a little reflection
would have enabled them to avoid,
while people who are not sensible take
very startling views of things generally.
Harper's Young People relates that at
the Centennial Exhibition two country
girls stood before a copy of the Flemish
artist Paul Potter's great masterpiece,
and one of them read from her cata-
logue, "The Young Bull, after Potter. 3"

The Grade of a Short Mountain Railroad

Trains are now running on the Barnes

Its success is attributed in part to the
fact that the road traverses one of the
most picturesque sections around Ports

Giant Shot Are Not New.

In 1873 Mohammed IL, in forming
the siege of Scutari, in Albania, en-
ployed fourteen heavy bombards, the
Iightest of which threw stone shot of
$40 pounds in weight, two sent shots of
500 pounds, two of $50 pounds, two of
$50 pounds, one of l 200 pounds, five Of
1900 pounds and one Of the enormous
weight of 1,640 pounds, enormous even
in these days, for the only guns whose
shot exceed the heaviest of these are
our eighty ton guns, throwing a 1900
pound projectile, our 100-ton, throwing
one of 1900 pounds, and the 110-ton,
throwing an 1,800-pound shot with a
high velocity. The stone shot of Mo-
,hammed's guns varied between twenty
and thirty-two inches in diameter,
about the same height as dining table /;
1854 of them were fired on this occa-
sion. weighing, according to calcula-
ton of Gen. Lefroy's, about 1000 tons,
and were cut out of the solid rock on
the spot. Assuming twenty -four inches
as the average diameter Of the shot
fired at this siege, the total area Of the
surface dressed was nearly 80, 900 square
feet At this siege the weight of the
powder fred is estimated by Gen. Lee
troy to have been 250 tons. AT the
siege of Rhodes, in 1850, Mohammed
caused sixteen basilisks, or double cam
non. to be cast on the spot, throwing
balls two to three feet in diameter.
