VERDTs PARsIMoNY.

It is said that Verdi, the composer. is
quite p-arsimonious. He lives in q very
quiet way, being frugal and temperate.
He has only a cur. of coffee for his break
fast and rarely eats meat. Cheese and.
eggs are his chief articles Of diet. Verdi,
like many other great men, has a blunt
ness of speech which issnot at all agree,
able and not over courteous. At a re-
hearsal of 'Falstaff'' at, Milan the sing
ers and musicians gave him an ovation
when he entered the opera house. In
response he said:-.I thank you all, but
will thank you more if you do better in
you performances than last time
