ist whose locks are only little longer than
those of the smart young men, He does not
plaster them down in the middle, however, but
lets them flow in ambrosial curls that dance
rhythmically when he fddles. Whenever Ysaye
is billed to appear, the hall is always filled,
nine women to one man, and the enthusiasm
generally eliminates in an hysterical storm of
applause. Even hunger would not drive
Ysaye's admirers home, if the idol would con-
sent to go on appearing and bowling. The ac
companying picture is the violinist's favorite,
for it represents him when he was several years
younger and more beautiful. He is fatter now.
His cheeks have encroached so much on his
ewes that there is not much of the eyes to be
seen, especially when he is in the ecstasy of
playing. Ysaye seems to take the alteration of
the fair sex with considerable surprise, not as
matter of right as paddy" did. 1t may be a
difference of hair. Interviewers have found
Ysaye interested in just one problem-what be-
comes of the American violinists? To one re-
porter he recently said: "I am instructor you
know, in the Brussels Conservatory. Now,
there are always there, coming and going a lot
of clever Americans-ohl yes, very clever-ex-
cellent performers, men with technique and
feeling. Well, then, what becomes of them ?

NO VALENTINES TO-DAY.

The girl pupils at many of the public
schools have pledged themselves to each
other to send no valentines this year, but
to spend the money in gifts of necessaries
to the poor. This is sweet and sensible of
them. Money spent on bread and beef and
sugar and coffee for poor people who can
not afford those comforts is always well
spent, whereas money spent on the tawdry
prints and silly doggerel which are sold
under the name of valentines is thrown
away.
Not that the cultivation of pleasant boy
and-girl friendships is practice to be de-
precated. Childish f1irtations are prepa-
ration for the serious work of life, just as
the nursing of a doll prepares a girl for the
serious duty of caring for baby. Boys,
especially at the age when an incipient
beard begins to sprout, are apt to be shy
and to have paroxysms of fterror at the sight
of girl. 1t is well to keep up practice
which, within the bounds of discretion and
good taste, draws young people together in
pleasant social intercourse, and helps a
timid boy to get over his shyness through
the intervention of a valentine.

bishop who was so clever that he could
cure epilepsy-though how that horrible
disease came to be connected with young
love it might puzzle the erudite to explain.
As matter of fact st. Valentines day was
celebrated long before the bishop cured or
did not cure disease. 1t was one of the
many spring holidays of the old heathens
in Rome it occurred in the first month in
spring, just at the season of Lupercalia,
when according to the poet a young
mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love. The young men of Rome took
flowers or sweetmeats to their best girls,
and received in exchange those tender
| tokens which are often in the shape of a
running moose. AT what period these ex-
changeable presents came to be called val
entines we are not informed. But when
ever it was it was a pretty name to give
them.
In Shakespeares time st. Valentine s
day was strictly observed, and the presenta-
ton of valentine to girl was tantamount
to an offer of marriage. In our day less
importance attaches to the civility. Some
girls get dozens of valentines every 14th of
February, and take much pride out of
them. But it is doubtful whether to-day
any little maiden will rejoice more heartily
over the anniversary than the warm
hearted schoolgirls who have spent their
valentine money on presents to the poor.

It was not till the year 660-that is, nearly 800 years after the death of Greg ory the Illuminator-that the Armenian church became national in the full mean Ing of that term. Then it adopted the monophysite doctrine that in Christ there was but one nature, heresy which has never been accepted by any of the western Protestant churches, by whom the Ar menian Gregorian or national church must logically be considered heretical. It is possibly owing to this doctrine that the Armenians use pure wine, without the addition of any water, in the mass

 William Vcen, who has a cabbage and potato ranch at New Brunswick, N. J., visited New York on Wednesday to get some money with which to pay off tho mortgage on his estate. He drew $500 from the Fourteenth Street bank. Ho then started back toward his farm. He had gone about two blocks when well dressed man rushed up to him. seized him effusively by tho hand and exclaimed:
 My dear Dr. Parkhnrst permit me to congratulate you upon the great work you have dono for this city. My nnmo is Chul. Ter. and I'm bishop in tho Presbyterian church"
 The farmer felt fattered, but he wasn't going to sail under false colors, so ho said "I beg your pardon, but l am not Dr. Parkhurst My name is William Veen, and 1.-Two in New Brunswick. II
 Doar me, said tho bishop of the Pres byterian church, very much disappointed, Pm sure beg your pardon. It was a most remarkable resemblnnce William Veen Of New Brunswick, chi" Then he, too, vanished into a saloon.
 The farmer got two blocks farther when suddenly couple of nattily dressed young men confronted Eiln. They gavo a start of surprise us their gazo fell upon MT. Veen.
 Why, thcro ho isr' shouted one of them. -'right hero nowl Who'd havo thought of seeing him here? dcclarol'' And he punched tho farmer heartily in tho ribs

 So the three went and had beer. Then they took another, and then Vcen lost consciousness. He thinks the drink was druggod The next that is known of him was when Policeman Baxter of tho West Twentieth Street police station found him perambulatng Twenty third street near Ninth avenue, followed by crowd of "bunko' men and pickpookets and by two cx-convcts named Casey and O'Hara. Tho policeman rescued him from their clutches, and at the station house the man who searched him found a bundle of green backs wound like rag round two fingers of his left hand. When they were disoov- cred, he winked knowingly and said
 That was to fool tue bunker men. My banking friends wanted to take all my money and put it In one of their banks. They showed mo lot of banks they wero connected with. But I was afraid tho bunker men might get them too. I wound the money round my hand to mako it look liko rag on sick finger, and they didn't suspect nothing"

We reduced the dislocation by manipulation, and the body was kept extended by weights. The patient lay for three months without moving a muscle.
