First Public Concerts.

Public concerts owe their direct en- couragement to John Canister, who had won fame by his playing on the violin, and who succeeded the celebrated Bait gar as leader of Charles II's band of 24 violins Pepys, in an entry in his dairy for February, 1867, tells us the court gos- sip of the day-''how the kings viallin Canister is mad that the king hath a Frenchman come to be chief of some part of the kings musique."
 It was rumored that he was dismissed from the royal service for saying English violins were better than the French, a statement which was no doubt regarded as heretical, opposed as it was to the pre- vailing court view as to the superiority of France in all questions of taste, and especially with regard to music.
 Banister's concerts at the close of the year 1872 were advertised in the London Gazette as follows: "These are to give Now called the Musick SchooD, over against the George Tavern in White Fry CTS, the present Monday will be musick performed by excellent masters, begin ming precisely at 4 of the clock i'll the afternoon, and every afternoon for the future precisely at the same hour"
 Four years later on we read again: 'At the Academy in Little Lincoln's Inn Fields will begin the first part of the Farley of Instruments, composed by MT. John Canister" The admission was at this time as rule shilling, and these concerts seem to have been held pretty regularly down to within a short time of Banister's death, which took place in 1679.-Ghambers Journal.

Playing by Memory.

Good memory in piano playing is also a source of infinite delight. It is like being able to take down book from the shelf at any moment, summoning back the images of other hours. Let this habit of learning verything by heart from the simplest exercise be an early one. In this way we shall be able to avoid later on that slavery of the paper which, as Plato foresaw, makes so many cultivated men ill these days less natural ill their speech and less eloquent than the most untutored savages. The effort of trying to learn by memory will make the play ing more careful, as every note must be, so to say, photographed ill ones bE,in.
 By the mere fact of repeating over and over again the same thing the true reading of it will be unfolded, which otherwise might have passed unnoticed.

GEORGE WILLIAMS canoe anu lmpOr- tance. The exercises there will last for a week and will include the meeting of the thirteenth international conference of the association, with public thanks giving services ill St. Pauls cathedral on jubilee day and a public reception at Royal Albert hall, Keusington.
 George Williams, the founder of the organization, now nearly B years old, will attend these exercises and tell how he came to start the Y. M. C. A. Dele gates will be present from every one of the United States and from 17 other countries, and there will be almost as many languages spoken as there are countries represented. The corporatioR of the city of London has appropriated 92,OO0 for the entertainment of the del egates, so that something of a civic as peo will be added to the religious char acter of the celebration. e
 The first Y M C. A. was organized June G, 1S44, at a meeting of the 80 clerks of the big London dry goods house of Hitchcock & Co.,, and its stated object was ito improve the spiritual condition of young men engaged ill the
 
 asae 70 branches ill London alone and 943 in the United Kingdom, while iu the world at large there are 5, 153 branches, with a membership close to 600, 900 souls.
 The first American branch was organ ized in Boston Dec. 29, 1851, and with in two years there were branches ill 26 other American cities The convention of the American branches in Buffalo in June, 1854, was really the first confer ence in the history of the association, and the first international conference, which met in Paris in August, 1855, was also called under American auspices.
 It is a notable coincidence that the Salvation Army was also started in London in Juxe 1s44, and that organ. ization, too, will have big anniversary celebration in London next month.

Observation Cultivated.

A novel method of cultivating the fac ulty of observation in children has been introduced by teacher in an up town kindergarten. She tells her pupils that she is about to have call from some one who will remain only three minutes; that no one must directly stare at him, but that the pupil who gives the best de- scription of him after his departure will receive prize. The other day her father, a Grand Army veteran in uniform, per formed the part of caller, and some of the personal descriptions after he had bowed himself out denoted unusually quick and accurate attention to detail. One boy had counted all his buttsns and gave the number correctly, another no- ticed an almost invisible scar on his face, and various others gave details of the color and shape of his beard, hair and uniform. The one who received the prize was a little girl, who declared he had ian expression on his face. ."-Philadel- phia Record.

TO A YOUNG WOMAN.

You have asked me to write you poem Alack, what a task you have set For a slave, who is weak, but SD willing To bring to you all hc can get From the field of his fancy and feeling And lay it down here al your feet, Ashamed of the tribute he offers, Because it is so incomplete. Had you loaned me your eyes with their
 dreaming
 Had you loaned me your cheek with its glow Had you loaned me your brow with its sweet
 ness,
 Had you loaned me your brow with it's snow Had you loaned me your voice with it's music, Had you loaned me your hand with its clasp Had you loaned me your heart with its prom What poem would be in my graspI But all these treasures of beauty, Of hope and affection and thought, Into some other poets poem, fear me, are already wrought, And take up my pen with doubting To write response to your call, For the bricks am making are strawless- can't write poem-that's all.

Negro Logic.

4 robbery had been committed in a Virginia town. The finger of suspicion pointed to Q negro servant, and he was arraigned before the local justice, who happened to be the negro's old master, to whom he was still intensely loyal.
 He made no defense or denial as the judge laid the evidence point by point against him, and sentence was about to be pronounced when suddenly the real culprit was discovered.
 Why didn't you say you didn't do it., George% asked the justice.
 "Why," said the faithful old servant, ''you's q hones' man, judge, an if you say is the man den I is the man. but you see I ain't the man."-Exchange

Grip and Camphorated Oil.

During grip days camphorated oil does much good It will often entirely dissi- pate symptoms of an influenza cold, to which persons who have had grip seem peculiarly liable. Rub across the fore head over and between the eyes. It is relief, too, for the pains in the legs. which remain long after the attack is over. Rub with it around the muscles and knee joints, over and under. For this trouble, or for an exhausted condi- ton following overwork, take one-half bay rum, one-fourth water and the rest spirits of ammonia, and rub the body well all over, particularly the legs and feet, and arms and hands.-New York Times

How to Treat Burns and scalds.

Burns from steam and scalds should be treated the same as those caused by dry heat. For slight burn that simply reddens the surface apply thick layer of cooking soda wet to paste, cover with a bandage made of old cloth and keep it wet with cold water When the pain subsidies, remove the soda dressing, and if anything more is required use vaseline. Burns from acids should be at once immersed in water and then dressed like any other burn. To burns from alkalies apply vinegar and water before dressing

How to Take Sea Baths at Home.

The luxury of hot sea bath can be substituted by the use in the home bath tub of a preparation of sea salt in the water Rock or dairy salt cannot be used in the place of this, as the genuine article dissolves itself readily and forms a brine that is as near that found in the ocean as possible. Hot baths open the pores and apparently cleanse one body and soul Do not bathe too long and rub vigorously. A warm bath at night and cold one in the morning are the best sort of tonics, and if you have once tried them you will be astonished at the rate of improvement in your complexion and the benefit to your general health that you will derive therefrom.

How to Renovate old Black Lace.

To renovate the old black lace which has begun to look hopelessly gray brush it with a soft brush that will not tear the lace. Sponge with tepid water con- taining a little powdered borax. Lay on folded flannel and press on the wrong side with moderately warm iron. Lay over the lace while pressing a piece of thin black silk. China and wash silks may be cleaned by sponging with ben zine or gasoline. Use a flannel cloth to rub them and dry in the air until all odor has disappeared.
