RAIN AT LAST.

The Terrible Destruettvencss OF IN Aus
traIisn Drought.
The author of Round the Compass
in Australia" had put up for the night
with the manager of stock farm. Ii
was time of drought. and the evening
passed amid stories of frightful suffer
ing and losses The manager thought
1t would be hardly possible to hold out
a week longer shady Jacks well is
done" he said, "and the Frenchman's
tank is empty" His wife tried to en-
courage him.
Hope for the best" she said.
My OATH" answered the manager,
but the best things never come off.
Yes, Dick" responded his wife,
but the worst things never come off,.
Night after night this man had
walked the room, alternating between
prayers and curses. rs each days record
was another thousand sheep dead, an
other empty well, until at last he had
come to the grim courage of despair.
Il shouldn't care so much" he said
To the traveller, but then my wife, my
girls in therer'
lie drew his sleeve across his eyes,
and bowed his head on the table. For
ten minutes he sat there so. Then the
visitor saw him raise his head. start,
spring TO his feet, and listen with
strained attention. What was that?
Something pinged on the corrugated
roof overhead.
Rain! rain. rainr' he shouted, as he
rushed outside, and fell on his knees
with his hands stretched out toward
the elouded sky.
Thank God, Thank God! Wife.
Girls! Mary Rainw
Even so. The flood-gates of the sky
were opened. and before morning the
visitor was helping to put up dyke on
one side of the house. The march of
destruction was stayed.

EPILEPSY AMONG COMPOSERS.
Many Notable Musicians Have Been Sub

Many Notable Musicians Have Been Sub
ject to strange Nervous Affections.
Handel. although he lived to old age,
was epilcptic. Epilepsy has proved a
common disease among musicians, says
the New York Evening Sun. Hoffman,
Pergolese, Paganini. were epileptics.
Malibran relates that when she heard a
symphony of BeethOven's she fell into
convulsions and had to be carried from
the place. Mozart was subject to such
nervous trernors that in carving meat
he used to cut his fingers. Berlioz said
that music threw him into nervous
states, accompanied by violent palpita-
tons of the heart that sometimes ended
IN complete unconsc iousness. Rossini
had unaccountable terrors about travel
ing by rail. and at the sight of cars fell
down in a faint When questioned
about it he said: 'If | were not that
sort of man | could not have written
the Barber of Seville" Donizetti was
subject to the most violent RACES, and
once, after having terribly beaten his
wife, sat down and wrote one of his most
beautiful melodies. Beethoven was sub
ject to such mental alterations that he
would leave his coat and hat in the
woods and wander about without them.
Thus he was once arrested as tramp
and put in jail. Gluck's loss of balance
was accompanied by intoxication. Hof-
man lived in exhaustive ecstacies. Won
Bulow's eccentricities are, to-day well
known. Sir Arthur Sullivan even. ac-
cording to his neighbors, is occasionally

A Secret OF GarheId's Tomb.

most intimate friends that the late President

Lieutenant's suggestion, and under his super.
vision. that an extraordinary thing was done
at that tomb.
Plenty OF evidence was furnished Of inten.
tions to get the remains OF Garfield and hold
them for a ransom. and some OF the plots as
they were discovered revealed extraord mary
skill. The Lieutenant at last suggested that
Gartield's remains bs removed secretly from
the tomb So that even il would be thieves got
across to the tomb they would be foiled. Hi.
father and two or three other citizens OF
Cleveland. who were friends OF Garfield.
approved the plan. and one night they
took the casket from the temporary sar.
cophRgus and placed it in n vault In that
cemetery. Then another casket was h'led
with a sufficient amount OF earth to give 1t
weight. and that one was placed in the tenn
porary Garfield tomb Thousands OF persons
for more than n year visited that tomb and
gazed sorrOwfuly upon the sarcophagus
which contained nothing but an earth illed
casket. Garfeld's remains were removed to
their permanent abiding place. as everybody
supposed. from the temporary tomb. whereas
they were. in fact. taken from another vault.
and the secret was only revealed to few inti-
mate friends.
