An Artist with Nerve.

A great artist is generally supposed to be
so nervous that the smallest contretemps
is sufficient to upset him. Sarasate is APP
paroutly an exception. When he was max
ing ms appearance at the Norwich festival
recently, curious accident beiell him,
which would have been sufficient to drive
most artists of his caliber from the plat
form. He was down TO play Dr. Mucken-
zie's "Pibroch," and he came forward in
his habitual calm way and, with his back
turned to the audience, stood chatting for
moment with Mr.. Betjemann, the leader
of the band, until the latter gently re-
minded him that Mr. Randegger was
standing. baton in air, ready to begin. Then
Surasate turned round, and tucking his
fiddle under his chin began to play-but
not the "Pibroch.'
A quite unfamiliar phrase sprang from
his fingers. Mr.. Randegger was naturally
astonshed, but continued conducting for a
/ few bars, while Sarasute still went on play.

until by tacit consent every one stopped,
SaraSate had entirely forgotten how the

accident which would have appalled, most
players just beginning long and difficult
piece, he strolled across to the conductor ;

Tendency of Acid Food.

NJ. Richet of Paris utters some plain
words of warning against the acid foods
or substances such as children and young
girls, especially those who are subject to
hysteria, are so fond of, but which are so
bad for the stomach Such substances, he
declares, impede the gastric secretion, and
the normal hydrochlOric acid of the stom
ach is replaced for the time by acids much
less favorable to digestion, such as tar
taric, oXalic, citric, acetic acids and others
whose action upon albuminOus matter is
very different from that Of hydrochloric
acid. The same remarkable phenomenon
occurs when salts of these organic acids
form "a large portion of the ingesta, such
as tartrates, citrates, etc, these salts be-
ing all decomposed by the normal acid of
the gastric juice and their acids displaced
by the hydrochloric acid, thus becoming
free. In this way the stomach receives
again free tartaric or free citric acid, etc,
with repetition Of the circumstances al.
ready named. On this account, Richet as
serts that all acid liquids, such as vinegar,
sour fruits, lemon juice, etc, must be
looked upon as being unfavorable to gas
trio digestion, when considered from by
gienic point of view. Briefly, on taking
acids, the gastric secretion is dried up or
slackened for awhile until, the acids be
ing got rid Of, the stomach RECEIVERS its
normal or primitive acidity. York

The stream transports sediment or turns

rain, and rain to the cooling of vapor

the suns heat is sufficient TO change guam

suns rays separated carbon dioXide into
its administration and oxygen. The
carbon was stored up in the earth. We

oxygen and get again the same quantity of

use this heat in the steam engine to trans

Jacopo Robust, named Tintoretto, born
at Venice in 1912, a pupil of Titan, but
who enjoyed his instruction only few
days, was an artist whose execution was
the boldest and the quickest and his can
vases the largest. by Ruskin his work has
been valued at an excessively high figure.
BY some other critics he has been esteemed
a coarse and careless painter, but he was
in all respects a master of prodigiOus pow
ers. His largest work is the Paradise
in the grand salon Of the doges' palace at
Venice. The painting is 81 feet wide and
"a feet high He was one of the most rapid
painters, but his work shows no signs of
hurry. His admiring contemporaries said
that he had the design of Michael Angelo
and the coloring of Titan. If we include
the decoration of walls and ceilings, this
size has been exceeded by artists, rs, for
example, by Sir James Thornhill's paint,

Michael Angelo also executed an immense
painting of this description in the Sistne
chapel of the Vatican. He was commits
stoned by Pope Julius II to paint the
vaulted roof of the chapel, measuring 1873
feet in length and 43 in width. The paint

and the early history of the world, with
reference TO mans final redemption and
salvation. Brooklyn Eagle.

the gold receipts for the month OF
May amounted to s431 ,934, ss COM
pared with 800 1856 for May, 1893; that
is, they were considerably over four
times the amount reported last year.
That the month was not an exception
