PoyertY,o Chance.

On that part of lower Clark street
where the houses have shriveled away
until they are never more than 20 feet
high, where the sidewalks are moldy and
decayed where fimsy lace curtains hang
in the windows and where no man looks
you in the eye, a coal wagon was seen
the other day. 1t was overloaded, and a
chunk weighing 30 pounds or more fell
off when the wheel struck a deep rut. A
little Italian lounging before the entrance
to basement saw the block of coal fall,
and he ran for it, But it had broken
into several pieces. He captured the
largest piece. A colored driver whose
army coat was fastened about him by q
piece of ne,npen Irvine took two of the
smaller pieces, and then woman with
basket trotted down a stairway and
gathered up what was left, even to the
crumbs. In certain parts of the city
coal will be coal this winter.-Chicago

TschallSowsky.

The regretted death of M. Tschalkow-
sky, which was occasioned by an attack
of cholera, deprives music of a master
who had attained in his so and odd years
a distinct measure of greatness in his art.
He was past 90 years of age before he re-
solved to devote himself to musical ca
reer. This was in 1869, when the Con-
servatoire of Music was founded at ST.
Petersburg. From that date practically
his career as composer began, although
it was only during the last Is years that
his name has been prominently associat-
ed with musical composition throughout
Europe.
Despite this widespread reputation,
however, he contrived to instill o pecul-
iarly native inspiration into his music.
He had bold conception of melody
which in his hands was subjected to
luxuriant and massive change, and into
which he was fond of, as it were, drop
ping Russian native phrases, imparting
to it a singularly characteristic quality.
Perhaps his most ambitious operate eff
feet was "Eugene Onegin," the chief de-
feet of which lies in its lamentably weak
ibretto.
Nevertheless it is an opera which is the
true storehouse of melody and most me-
lodious meditation. His music is rarely
dull. It is for the most part lit up by q
kind of merry and keen vitality. Indeed
he seldom persuaded himself to be calm,
and his art has consequently q somewhat
restless character. But he was man Of
great distinction, whose loss it becomes
Us to deplore.-Pall Mall Budget.

When a Chinese Bank Enils.

Bank notes were issued in China as
early as the ninth century, when the art
of printing was unknown in Europe.
These notes have generally been redeem
ed, because in China, when bank fails,
all the clerks and managers have their
heads chopped off and thrown in heap
along with the books of the firm. And
SO it has happened in those good old bar
barous times that for the past 500 years
not single Chinese bank has suspend
ed payment.
Now that China is coming under the
sway of western civilization, we have
no doubt it will have the same financial
troubles as its more civilized banking
brethren. Chambers Journal.

Trained Nurses.

The fashionable impetus which itwas
expected the patronage of the Princess
of Wales would give to the occupation
of trained nursing in England has hard
" been realized. It will undoubtedly
receive a stimulant in tho plan, of
which word now comes from there, to
have nursing lectures at fashionable
houses to instruct the aristocratic pupils
in the rudiments at least of caring for
the sick. These afternoons are to
be illustrated with genuine hospital
implements, including a patient, and,
with tea and biscuits handed round,
will take on as well an agreeable social
tone.
A story heard recently accentuates
the need of all this. 1t was related of
an English peeress, who, wishing to
master the duties of trained nurse,
procured admission to a hospital for
such instruction. She proved an utterly
hopeless pupil, and at length it was
deemed advisable to ask her to resign.
Her martial tread through the wards
and general heaviness' in all that
she did actually made her presence a
detriment, which would seem to indicate
that even aristocratic nurses are born,
not made. -New York Times.

Hnrrins lYithou. Collins.

From the earliest ages to within about
years ago it appears to have beon Gus
tomary to bury either with or without a
coffin. The following is an extract from
a terrier of lands, fees, ETC., belonging to
Castor vicarage, Lincolnshire, dated
TIT: "For every grave in the church
yard and without coffin, pence; if with
coffin, shilling" Among the vestry
minutes of St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, dat
ed March S, 1854: Item, that mono shall
be buryd within tho church unless the
dead corpse be cofined in wood" The
late John Bernard Palmer, first abbot of
the Cistercians in England since the
reformation, was buried in the chapter
house at Lorghborough without coffin.
In the days when burial without coffin
was general the body was shrouded, tied
at the head and feet, and carried to the
grave in closed bier, which was gen.
orally provided by the parish for this
purpose.-Westminster Gazette.

Too Beautiful to Live.

The pride and flower of all the youth
of the Zoo is the young hippopotamus.
AS it lies on its side. with eyes half
closed, its square nose like the end Of q
bolster tilted upward, its little fat legs
stuck out straight at right angles to its
body and its toes turned up like a
ducks, it looks like gigantic newborn
rabbit. 1t has pale, petunia colored
stomach, and the same artistic shade
adorns the soles of its feet. It has q
double chin, and its eyes, like a bull
calf's, are set on pedestals and close
gently as it goes to sleep with bland,
enormous smile. It cost $500 when
quite small, and, to quote the opinion of
an eminent grazier who was looking it
over with professional eye, it still looks
like growing into money There are
connoisseurs in hippopotamus breeding
who think it almost too.beautiful to live.

Dream Warming of Death.

There is family we'll known in lit
erary circles in New York of which one
member, an old lady, has had IL or IS
repetitions of a dream that she was car
rying child long and weary distance
up hills and over rough paths. When
ever the dream occurs, some member of
the family dies shortly afterward. 1t
is not connected with previous knowl-
edge of i'll health, for in one of these in
stances the death has been that of per-
son supposed to be perfectly healthy, SIT
ting at his study table at work, and car
ried off quickly by stroke of apoplexy.
The last instance of this dream was just
before the death of a well known news
paper man in this city last winter
