Not long ago Miss Willard was invited to become Mrs. Cleveland's guest at the White House, and she has since given a number of se,nipublic society matinees at the houses of various Washington not ables.
 She is now giving a number of con certs in various cities of the United States. The concerts are given in pub lie halls, but they are designed to be as private as possible and are for the amuse- ment of society people and musicians. Miss Willard does not desire a public career. She dislikes display and bill board advertising, and at the close of her semipublic tour of the west in the summer she will retire from the stage and become the wife of New York man.
 Miss Willard's mother and sister are in Berlin, which they now consider the family home. One of the young singers aunts is Miss Frances F.

Young Falcons at School.

The Young Of falcons and hawks are
well trained by their parents. From the
time they are strong enough to pull at and
break up the quarries brought to them it
is one long course of instruction. The old
birds know perfectly well what the young
ones will have to do, and they get them
fit for doing it as soon as they can. They
compel them to take longer flights day
after day and teach them how to stoop-
that is, strike at their quarry.
One or the other will shoot up with a
portion of feather or it may be fur, fol-
lowed by the young hopefuls. Then the
Inorsel is dropped from the clutch Down
they dash for it, and the one that makes
the quickest stoop secures the prize be
fore 1t reaches the ground When the old
birds think the young can fend for them
selves, off they go.
This is not case of choice, but noces
sity, for they are simply cuffed and buff
feted off. So well is this known in the
country that it is a common thing to hear
a lad say, "Them ERE hawks has druv
their young uns of. BLACK Mag

Similarity of Methods.

1t Is curious what a penchaDt Dickens
had for certain mClodramatio situations,
which seemed to his fancy so telling that
he repeated and reproduced them many
times over. He had a lively dramatic
turn, and l always thought would have
had extraordinary SUCCESS as n dramatist
] once asked him why he had not taken
up this "line' seriously, and / think he
made the eXcuse-it was long ago, many
years before his death-that he had not
time, taste or patience. The real reason
no doubt was that he could not work
without expanding and could not carve
heads upon cherry stone.
A literary friend who has his Boz" at
his fingers ends, has with great acuteness
pointed out to me that Nicholas Nickleby
was genuine "Adelphi walking gentle
man." His manner, heroic bursts, pro-
lection of his sister boarding of Ralph,
etc.. were all elements in the Adelphi
melodrama Ralph was regular stage
villain. That his works are all dramatic
and conceived in the true spirit of the
stage is plain from the vast list of adap-
tations. Each story has been adapted
again and again and will bear the process
admirably.
One method for winding up his plot, to
which he was excessively partial, was the
unmasking of the villain owing to the be
trayal of some confederate. The parties
are generally brought together in room
by the more virtuous members The CON
federate then energies from his conceal
ment and tells long story of villainy.
We have this denouement first in oliver
Twist, where Monks makes his revela-
tions. In "Niokleby' Ralph is confronted
with 'the man Snawley and Squeers.
In the "Old Curiosity Shop" Quilp is
similarly exposed In ''Barnaby Rudge'
Haredale forces his hereditary enemy to
make revelations. In "Chuzzlewit" Jonas
is confronted with another betrayer. In
"Copperfield' Uriah Heep is denounced
and exposed by Mr.. Micawber. In Bleak
House. Lady Dedlock is similarly tracked

The affection and sensihility Of the ele-
plant are we'll known. in the memoirs
of the actor, Charles Young, is an anec-
dote which illustrates these characteristics.
Chung, big elephant, just arrived from
India had been bought by an English
manager to exhibit in children's panto-
mine. AT the first rehearsal, when Chung
reached bridge over a cascade which he
was expected to cross, he refused to step
upon it, distressing its solidity, and not
without reason. In vain the angry keeper
punished him by pricking him behind the
ear with an iron goad. With lowered eyes
and pendent ears the enormous animal
stood in pool of blood motionless as
wall
The captain of the vessel which had
brought Chung over came in during the
contest between the man and the elephant.
He had become fond of the beast and often
fed it with dainties. The animal, as soon
as it recognized it's friend, approached him
with supplicating air, gently took his
hand in its trunk and placed 1t In the
bleeding wound then held the hand up to
the captains eyes, lie gesture said as
clearly as words, "See how they have made
me suffer" Poor Chung appeared so I'M
happy that every one was touched, even
the cruel keeper. To win pardon the man
ran out and brought some apples, which
he offered to the elephant but Chung dis
painfully threw them away. The captain,
who had also fetched some fruit from Cow
ent Garden market, came back immedi-
atey and held it out to Chung. He willing
ly accepted It, and after eating 1t coiled
his trunk gently round his protector q
waist.-Our Dumb Animals.

Wrestling in Japan.

According to an article in Current Lit
erature, the contests take place in huge
amphtheater, much like large circus,
sheltered by bamboo framework covered
with mating to keep out the people who
do not pay to go in. The top is unroofed.
Tiers of boxes of primitive description
line the sides, being reached by ladders
from the front A ring of rice bags in
closes the sanded arena, some dozen feet
in diameter, in which the combatants
meet. The center is occupied by the UNI
pire, person of much distinction, dressed
in an old brocade costume, picturesque
enough to Europeans and reminiscent of
feudal times. -Four judges are also in at
tendance in case the umpire's decision
should be disputed.
The umpire stretches out his fan and
shouts something in a strident voice. At
this behest the first couple of combatants
appear The dress is scarcely conventional
according to occidental ideas Indeed
there Is practically no dress at all Be
yond strip round the loins absolutely
nothing is worn. They stride into the
ring amid the plaudits of thousands take
draft of water from bucket in the cor
ner, sprinkle themselves with the fluid
and are ready for the encounter.
Two mighty men are they, with limbs
and trunks that would not disgrace Sam
son. Mountains Of muscle some, others
mountains of fat. Good humor CLEANS
in their faces. They slap their thighs and
stamp their legs like FESTIVE horses and
then crouch ready for the spring like
beasts of prey. The umpire gives the sig
nal to commence, and they bound into
each others embrace. Perhaps the feint
is parted, 30 that we have it all over
again.
1t is Homeric moment as the cham
pions struggle and sway this way and
that until with a final effort one is
thrown to the ground In one instance a
heavy man was hurled right over the rice
bags by wiry opponent and would have
had a nasty fall off the stage but for the
intervention of an attendant placed ready
to prevent accidents.
