Many Notable MusIcIals Have Ticen sub
Ject 20 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,
Pergolcse, Paganini, were epilcptics.
Malibran relates that when She heard a
symphony of Beethoven's she fell into
commissions and had to be carried from
the place. Mozart was subject TO such
nervous tremors that in carving meat
he used to cut his fingers. Berlioz said
that music threw him into nervous
states, accompanied byviolent palpita-
tions Of the heart that sometimes ended
IN complete Inconsistencies. Rossini
had unaccountable terrors about travel
ing by rail, and at the sight of cars fell
down in q faint. When questioned
about it he said: IF l were not that
sort of man / could not have written
the Barber OF Seville.'n 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 20 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. Glucls's loss Of balance
was accompanied by intoxication. Hoff-
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
seized with the within Of lighting his
house from garnet TO cellar and, as if in
the midst Of fete, seating himself at
the piano.

The outside case was of yellow pine,
one and one-half inches thick and
planned on both sides. Around this outer
case were broad bands of steel, held in
place by screws. Inside was tin box

Of the tin case was another wooden
case, finely finished, and inside of this
nestled in cotton batting was the model

the whole craft was: lacquered and
finished as the Japanese know SO well

the customs officers and was taken to

The Terrible Destructiveness OF an AUS
tralian Drought.
The author of Round the Compass
in Australia had put up for the night
with the manager Of stock farm. 1t
was o time Of drought, and the evening
passed amid stories Of frightful suffer
ing and losses. The manager thought
it would be hardly possible TO hold out
a week longer "shady Jaclx,s 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!n answered the manager,
but the best things never come off. I"
"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, as each days record
was another thousand sheep dead, an
other empty well, until at last he had
come TO the grim courage of despair.
~ shouldn't care SO much" he said
to the traveller, ''but then my wife, my
girls in there!"
He drew his sleeve across his eyes,
and bowed his head en- 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 pingcd on the corrugated
roof overhead.
'Raini RANT rainl he shouted, as he
rushed outside, and fell on his knees
with his hands stretched out toward
the cloudel sky.
"Thank God Thank Godl Wifel
Girls! Mary! Rain!"
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.

The idea of men wearing corsets is
not a new one. German army officers

avoid some such aid to imposing grand

the Clothier and Furnisher, but to the
fact that corset wearing among fash
ionable young men, and some naughty,
wicked old ones, is not only becoming
daily more popular, but that we'll
known Bond street house is making
fortune by its artificial attenuations of
figures whose owners disdain the robust
and well-fed appearance of well-dined
Britons. The mans corset la mode is
better described as corslet; it is much
longer in proportion than that affected
by femininity, and fits well down to
the hips and under the shoulders. With
the present mode of wearing the frock-
coat open there is not so much chance
to display the skill of the corseter to
advantage, but the fin de steele
Johnny" likes to display taper waist
enswathed in a well-ftting waistcoat
The advantage is much more marked in
evening dress, where the ''camel band"
has almost entirely superseded waist
coats, the former having a tendency to
assume a patriarchal aspect when
stretched over capaeious abdomen.
The late duke of Clarence was noted for
the tight-lacing he INDUCED in. Lacing

men who are inclined to undue ex-

The disastrous ETects OF Using Natur

The Disastrous Effects of Using Natural
When natural gas from a partial
fuel came 10 be used for cooking and
heating solely, and in great degree for
Illuminating purposes in Pittsburgh,
the hair Of Pittsburghers began TO fall
out in a most alarming fashion.
Women were victims more than men
-aresult doubtless caused by the fact
that houses are usually warmer than
Offices and men less confined by their
business than women, through their So
caland domestic duties.
The seeds Of the complaint, accord
ing to the Chicago Journal, were sowed
deeply the FIRST year that gas was intro
duced into houses for domestic pur-
poses That was before the days of
meters and the fifteen cents per thou
sand rate. Gas was given away almost
then in yearly contracts. People who
had been cold all their lives on hard
coal at eight dollars ton began TO
warm up and the torrid zsne prevailed
everywhere
The Philadelphia company was amply
revenged for the wasting Of its gas by
The way the furniture warped and by
the shedding Of their patrons hair.
The ladies discovered the new COM
PLANT first. When they patted their
bangs, after the fashion OF gentle
Womankind, mesh Of hair would come
away in their fingers, and il they only
crooked their hands threateningly
coward an erring husbands locks, all
ihe hairs that were unsafe in their foun-
aatlon in his head would drop abjectly

letting the flour and butter brown you
can have tho sauce brown, but then it
should be favored with little lemon
