STRAUSS AND HIS DOG.
4 Story Of the Waltz King, Retriever
and HIS Feminine Admirers.

and HIS Feminine Admirers.
"The Strauss jubilee, said New York
impresario to a reporter, reminded me
of an incident of the visit of the great
composer to Boston at the time Of the Gill
more jubilee which l do not remember
ever tc have seen in print. At that time
Johann was in the full blaze of his glory,
Snd the Blue Danube waltzes were as
web known IN this country as Yankee
Doodle and SO when the composer was
found to be a handsome, dapper little man,
With lovely eyes and mass OF Wavy biack
hair that was almost as sextravagantly long
as Paderewski's, the Boston musical wom-
en- went wild over him. He was courted
and caressed and feted and followed until
it is wonder his head-hair and all
was not turned, but Strauss had too much
GOOD business tact to lose control or him.
self, and he accepted cverything--civility
and compliment-With a smile that was
as comprehensive as it was stereotyped.
STRAUSS was a great dog fancier at that
time and was accompanied by magnih-
cent black retriever. Toward the last of
the great concert days some enthusiastic
young woman sprung the idea Of getting
a lock of Strauss hair for her locket-
lockets were worn by everybody in those
days, you remember The fashion grew
into a fad, and from a fad blazed up to
fury, and with his comprehensive smile
Johann promised every applicant me
mento. And in due time the locks were
distributed-how many hundreds of them
] don't know-each one accompanied by
the compliments of the waltz king. Some
statistical cuss said that enough hair had
been cut off and distributed to make
Strauss look as though he had been sand
papercd, yet when he left Boston for New
York his locks were as bushy and profusc
as ever 1t was remarked, however, that
when Johann s beautiful black haired dog
was put into the baggage car the poor
creature looked like a shorn poodle. -

WEAKNESSES OF GENIUS.
Great Men Who Have Been Conspicuously
Deficient In Mental and Moral Health.

DR. James Weir observes that mechan-
ical geniuses, or those who deal mainly
with material facts, do not, as rule,
show any signs of mental degeneration.
In proof of this one need only instance
Darwin, Galilei, Edison, Maxim, Watt,
Rumsey, Howe, Morse, etc. 1t is only the
genius of 2stheticism, the genius of the
emotions, that is generally accompanied
by unmistakable signs of degeneration.
Swinburne's poems show the mental bias
of their author who is described as pecul-
lar and eccentric. Many of the men who
have aided in making the worlds history
were victims of epilepsy, as was Julius
Caesar military leader, statesman and au-
thor. Many men of genius have suffered
from spasmodic and chorec movements,
notably Lenau, Montcsquieu, Button, DR..
johnson, Santcuil, Thomas, Campbell,
Napoleon and Socrates.
Suicide, essentially a symptom of men
tai disorder, has carried off many man
of genius including such immortals a.
Chatterton, Blount, Hayden, Give and
David. Alcoholism and morphinism are
now recognized as evidences of degenera-
tion ard have had as victims Coleridgc,
Sheridan, Steele, Addison, Hoffman,
Charles Lamb, Burns and many others.
In men of genius the moral sense is some
times obtunded or absent. Sallust Seneca
and Bacon were suspected felons; Rous-
seau, Byron, Forcola and Caresa wero
grossly immoral, while Casanova, the gift
ed mathematician, was n common swim

,JunuinC Hurdles.

In jumping hurdles the one thing which
is imperative is not to jump them. Hurdle
racing has become entirely an artificial
sport. 1t was discovered that, by taking
off from one foot and landing on the other,
and by covering the ten yards between
each hurdle in three strides the hurdles
could be run over, instead of jumped, and
it was also discovered that the man who
couldn't perform this acrobatic feat was
not in the same hunt with the man who
could A long jumper, with turn Of
speed, has u much bettor chance of bccom
ing u good hurtller than a high jumper.
1t is pastime which requires much prac
tice. You must harden your shins and
keep as near to the top bar of the hurdle
as you can. If you are clearing the hur-
dies by too much, you must practice lcav
ing part of the skin of your leg on tho top
bar.
A famous hurdle racer, H. X. Upcher of
Oxford, who, by assiduous practice
brought the surmounting - one could
hardly call it the clearing-of hurdles to
the highest point of perfection, was in the
habit of humping each hurdle in practice
to make sure he was not going too high,
and of going through the top rail when it
was movable, and sometimes when it was
not, in order to be quite certain that there
was nothing unnecessary to spare.-Fort

The Origin OF Tea,

1t is difficult nowadays to imagine how
the japanese managed to live without tea,
Every body drinks it at all hours of the
day, and the poorest people rarely get a
chance of drinking anything stronger and
yet it is, as things went in old Japan, a
comparatively recent introduction, writes
Alfred Parsons in Harper's Magazine. Tea
was introduced with Buddhism from
China and though some plants were
brought as early as the ninth century it
was not much grown until the end of the
twelfth. Daruma, an Indian saint of the
sixth century, often represented in Japa
nese art either crossing the ocean on a reed
or sitting a monument of patience, with
his hands in his sleeves, was the father OF
the tea plant.
After years of sleepless watching and
prayer he suddenly got drowsy, and at last
his cyelids closed, and he peacefully slept.
When he awoke, he was so ashamed of his
pardonabe weakness that he cut off the
offending eyelids and threw them on the
ground, where they instantly took root
and sprouted into the shrub which has
ever since had the power to keep the world
awake.
