Verdi's Organ Trust.
Now York Sun


We have heard Of all sorts of trusts, ir-
cludiDg the bootblack trust and the harp
and fiddle trust, but an crgan- grinding trust
was something we did not hear of until
after the introduction of the opera of "Fal-
staff" Who could imagine that Verdi was
an organ-grinding trust all in himself? But
he was. In 1856 he lived in Montecalieri.
A friend one day expressed surprise at be-
ing received in roOmiwhich showed evil
dence of serving as a paIlor. dining-room
and bedroom in one. II have two more big
rooms" said Verdi to his visitor, "but they
are at present filed with quantity of
things that l have rented for the season."
He opened two doors and the friend OF the
maestro looked into two large rooms literally
crammed with haGd-orgaDs. "When / came
into this town." continued Verdi, "all the
owners Of these instruments gave me a sere-
made from morning until night There was
no let up to the thing. 1t was a continuous
and fTig ghtful cacOphoine of airs from 'Rigo-
leito,' 'Trovatore' aud 'Trayiata.' 1t was
fearful torment. How u get rid OF it | did
not know, but after all ! hit upon a grand
plan. rented all the organs for the whole
season. The affair has cost me exactly 1900
francs, but now at least have peace and
can work. The Socialists may say Of me
what they will, but SO far as hand-organs
are concerned | must be set down as
grasping monOpolist."

TURF AND TRACK.
Claim That a Plowhorse Can Out
trot Nancy Hanks.


There is surprise in store for the own
ers of trottng horses. Out on Valencia
street, not twenty blocks from the new
City Hall, is nag that will be entered at The
next tro;ting meeting. The owner of this
trotter claims that The animal can distance
Nancy Hanks in mile heats. II may be Of
interest 10 know that this speedy trotter
formerly belonged to John Boggs. and for
seven long years was worked as a plow-
horse on the Senator's Colusa ranch. This
wonderful nag has not yet been named, but
the owner will give him suitable cog
nomen before he appears as world-beater
at the Bay District.
The continuous rainfall has put the Oak
land track in such depl0rable condition
that ii will be impossible to resume racing
there tomorrow. The chances are that the
weather will prevent continuance Of the
long -drawn-out Oakland winter meeting.
Whether or not the meeting is resumed the
reputable turfmen DO not care much.
Runners from the best stables in the
State are being sent out to the Bay District
track in preparation for tile spring meeting
of the Bood-hOrse Association, which
opens on Saturday, the lst prOx., and con-
tinues for a month. There are now 125
racers at the track, and about 200 more are
expected before the meeting opens.

Bleeding from the contact with this rail
made the turtle mad. and it resolved TO lie

yesterday found guilty by Judge Joachim

recognizanee for ten days, at the expira-
tlon OF which he will be expected to have
left the city. His case will then be again
called IN court, aud should he not respond

SOUND DRNTITION
Are We Going to Become Toothless
Race?

Races
There is reason to apprehend that un-
less some cataclysm occurs to arrest the
progress of civilization, our descendants
will be as toothless as Europtolemus,
King of Cyprus, described by the his
UOrian Pliny as reduced TO masticate his
food with a structure of solid bone, in
lieu of teeth. This, at any rate. is the in
ference to be deduced from the statistics
recently published by order of the Brit
ish Parliament. demonstrating the alarm
ingly small number of cases of in any
way sound dentition among the English
people. OF 1000 children attending the
London public schools. there was only
7O7 who had sound teeth; while during
period OF three months 900 recruits were
rejected by the medical department of the
army for purely dental reasons. Ofcourse,
part of this state of affairs is due to ne
gleOt of the digestion, and OF the teeth
themselves, fact demonstrated by the
statement that OF all the girls who entered
domestic service from the London public
schools last year, fiVe-siXths had never
even heard of such thing as a tooth
bruSh-an assertion that has lei the edu-
cational authorities to institute in many
of the metropolitan schools what is now
known as toothbrush drill" Decay
of the teeth has always attended the ad-
vance of civilization, and each barbaric
invasion has been followed by a recovery
of sound teeth in the Old World. Under
the circumstances, it might be worth
while to consider whether the repeal of
the Geary law and the opening up of the
United States to pacific invasion on the
part of the Chinese. might net go far to
improve the American jaw, which, ac
cording to medical experts, is in an i'm
measurably worse condition than that Of
the English-a fact probably due to our
superior civilization.-New York Trib
