Verdi's First Music.

The first musical signs made by Verdi
were ominous. They were in connection
with the street organ, and all the world
knows what it has subsequently suffered
from Verdi being on the street organs.
Think of London alonel Also Of the late
Mr.. Babbage and Mr.. Bass London street
music bill An itinerant organ grinder
used to come betimes to the Roncole inn,
when little Verdi would run to stand and
gaze In wonderment at the musician and
his music nor would he leave the attrao-
tion until fetched away. One especial
favorite with the child was Bagasset, de-
crepit violinist, who predicted to the inn.
keeper that his son would be great mu-
sician some day. Verdi helped this poor
fellow in after years, when the prophecy
had been amply fulfilled.
When Verdi was about years old, his
father added q spinnet, or pianoforte, to
his worldly possessions. The child had
already shown some taste for music, for,
besides the street music episode, the priest
at Roncole had kicked him down the altar
steps for paying more attention to the
music from the organ than to his duties
as aoolyte, or server, at mass, post which
his naturally quiet demeanor had obtained
for him. No sooner was the piano In the
house than young Verdi went at 1t with
will until one day, because he could not
find some favorite chord upon the key
board, he was discovered in great anger
belaboring the instrument with ham,

What 10 Feed.

Sunfower seed, it is we'll known. is
good egg producing food for chickens
it is also fine food to give the plum
age a glossy appearance for exhibition
purposes. The Russian sunfiower is
very productive and may be planted in
fence corners or out of the way places.
When flesh is the desirable object to
be attained, feed the grains which con-
tain the elements that make fat. In
dian corn contains per cent. of fat
producing elements, while oats con-
tain only 6 per cent. But if thrifty
condition is most desirable, feed large
ly with oats, because oats contain 2
per cent. more of the albuminiods, or
muscle producing elements that corn.
Wheat bran and skim milk are each
chemically considered quite close in
resemblance to the white of an egg,
which fact suggests their use in the
food of laying hens.

Origin of the Names Of the Days.

In the museum at Berlin, in the hall
devoted to Northern Antiquities, they
have the representations from the idols
from which the names of the days in
our week are derived.
From the idol of the Sun comes Sun
day. This idol is represented with his
face like the sun, holding burning
wheel, with both hands on his breast,
signifying his course round the world.
The idol of the Moon, from which
comes Monday, is habited in short
coat. like a man, but holding the moon
in his hands.
Tuisco, from which comes Tuesday,
was one of the most ancient and popu'
lar gods of the Germans, and repre-,
sented in his garments of skins, accord
Ing to their peculiar manner of cloth
ing. The third day of the week was
dedicated to his worship.
Wooden, from which comes Wednes'
day, was valiant prince among, the
SaXons. His image was prayed to
for victory.
Thor, from whence comes Thursday,
is seated in a bed, with twelve stars
over his head, holding sceptre IN his
hand.
Friya, from whence we have Friday,
is represented with drawn sword in
his right hand, and bow in his left.
Sister, from which is Saturday, has
the appearance of perfect wretchedness
he is thin-visaged, long-haired, with q
long beard. He carries WATERFALL in
his right hand, wherein are fruits and
flowers.

The Liquor Habit.

Why not establish asylums for ine-
briates as well as lunatics? The state
is even under greater obligations to
provide a place where the inebriate
can be scientifically treated for drunk
enness than it is to provide asylums
for the insane. The state is partner
in the crime of making drunkards, for
it accepts revenue derived from the
liquor traffic and as it is party to the
wrong done and profits by it, the state
should at least provide a place where
those of its victims who wished to he
cured can 90 and be treated for their
malady. Hundreds and thousands OF
men all over this country would gladly
quit the use of intoxicants if they could
only get rid of the appetite for it, but
from q sense of shame or the fear OF
ridicule they hesitate to avail them
selves of the benefit of scientific treat
ment for the liquor habit. This is
wrong, and the sooner men who are
the victims of this habit realize that
they are really suffering from a terrible
disease, and take rational steps to be
cured of it, the better it will be for
them and their families. We believe
that our local physicians ought to give
more attention to this matter. That
they ought to prepare themselves to
treat this disease. Many men who
would not 60 to Keely would take
treatment from their family physician
for the liquor habit. 1t does look like
that when there are thousands of men
spending large sums of money to get
rid of the liquor habit, that this fact
alone ought to deter those who have
not yet formed it, to stop short and
realize the danger that threatens them
if they continue to tamper with in
toXicants.

1t seems to be one of the hardest
habits to break and to overcome, when
once established, the habit of talking
in way that, if it is not exactly vul-
gar, borders on it and is Oh insinuation
of vulgarity. A great many people
think it is not wrong to laugh at vul-
gar inSinuatiOn or sentence that may
have two meanings, and very much of
this goes on among both sexes, unfort-
unately. The consequence is that our
young boys and girls grow up with
loose ideas, and only little start in
this line is necessary to make great in
roads on pure thoughts, and pure lives
even for if ones talk is impure, either
by inference or openly, it is sure to
contaminate the character and hurt the
influence.
We know of some excellent Chris
tian people, otherwise, who have not
vet overcome the habit of telling an oc-
sasional story that borders on vulgarity,
and who would not hesitate to laugh at
some one who told a story that insin-
uated, at least something vulgar.
We can each settle this once for all
if we will put this test {: ''If Christ
were right by my side, would l do this ;
and would Christ want me to encour-
age by my manner, or in any way, vul-
garity of deed, thought or even of in
sinnation?"
There needs to be a strong stand
taken by Gods people on this question.
for it means so much. Let us remem-
Der that this is one of the DEVILS keen
est and easiest ways of hindering the
work Of Christ in the hearts of his fol-
lowers.
But what we have said is entirely
aside from great and powerful reason
why we should not indulge in anything
of the kind-because the world looks
on astonished and disgusted, and puts
us down at once as hypocrites, if We do
or say or countenance such things.

Mrs. Johnson's Retort.

retort that Murat Halstead ever received7

than he did, and it is good enough to

smith, Colston, Hoadly & johnson was
one Of Mr.. Halstead's pet subjects for sar-
casm, politically and otherwise. He
caught up phrase which was attributed
to the junior partner of the firm, Mr.
johnson, and after calling him "shining
ornament Of the Cincinnati bar" for some
time, the brilliant Mr.. Halstead went
further and publicly dubbed Mr.. johnson
1.-THE brass ornament of the Cincinnati
barr This phrase was so attractive to
Mr.. Halstead that he never hesitated to
use it in every possible way. Halstead's g
day of reckoning came, however.
At an evening gathering Mr.. Halstead,
who was very susceptible to the charms
OF the fair sex, saw handsome woman in
the crowd superbly dressed, and with dia-
monds on her bosom and In her hair that
would at once attract attention. He beg
ged to be presented, and was-to Mrs.
johnson. It did not present itself to Mr..
Halstead's mind, perhaps little less
steady at the time than usual, who the
lady might be. He was curious about her.
johnson, JohnsonP" he repeated. II
have never had the pleasure of meeting
you before, Mrs. johnson. Do you live In
Ohio?"
"Oh, yes," replied the lady, brimming
over with smiles. II live In Cincinnati. /"
"Indeed" said Mr.. Halstead, quite as
tonished. "May inquire of what family
of Johnsons you areP"
The smiles were more than merry this
time.
"Mr. Halstead," she replied, "for Is
years I have been trying to polish up the
brass ornament of the Cincinnati bar!'-'

Mary Anderson.

Mary Anderson De Navarro, In recount
ing her early stage experience in The La
dies Home Journal, asserts that New Or
leans audiences were the first to give her
recognition of substantial sort, and Of
the Crescent City she speaks with genuine
fondness. Rather oddly it was in Meg
Merrilies" that she won the favor and
plaudits of the New Orleans public. The
house on the occasion Of her presentation
of the play was crowded and the audience
wildly enthusiastic. "There were speeches
and presentations, writes Mrs. De Ma
varro, land checks concealed in baskets
of flowers were handed over the foot
lights" One gift that came on that night
to the aspiring young actress and brought
her much joy was Washington artillery
badge, which made her member OF the
battalion that won the name Of the Tigers
In the late war.

Rest is the sweet sauce of labor.

A sneer is the weapon of the weak.
Anticipation of evil is the death of
happiness.
The Sabbath Day is the savipgs-bank
of humanity.
Where religion is a trade, morality
is merchandise.
A mans true wealth is the good he
does in this world.
Christ himself the one unanswerable
proof of Christianity.
Partial culture runs to the ornate
extreme culture to simplicity.
Revenge, at first thought sweet, bit
ter ere long back on itself recoils.
Refinement that carries us away
from our fellow-men is not Gods re-
finement.
Life is only SO far valuable as it
serves for the religious education OF
the heart.
There is nothing so minute or in
considerable that l would not rather
know it than not.
1t is not safe to judge a mans piety
by his facility in using q set of we'll
sounding phrases.
That which is of God, gathers to
God, and that which is of the world
is owned by the world.
Make yourself an honest man, and
then YOU may be sure that there is one
rascal less in the world.
In trying to see the hand of God in
another's sorrow, we often discover
the hand of God in our own.
How many troubles might mankind
be spared if they would only stop to
hear each others explanation.
Our chief want in life is somebody
who shall make US do what we can.
This is the service of friend.
While the learned are fumbling to
find the latch, the simple and poor
have entered into the Kingdom OF
heaven.
There is anguish in the recollection
that we have not adequately appre-
ciated the affection of those whom we
have loved and lost.

IN FAR EASTERN SIBERIA,
yladivostok Seems to Be Place Where
Everybody Waits.


Everybody Waits.
The patient, bovine natured peasants OF
Korea perform the office Of pack horse in
this region, and three Koreans quickly
presented themselves to me, on my land
ing from the steamer In a sampan, and
carried I'D my traps to the Zolotoe Rog, or
Golden Horn hotel. This log house GER
tainly possesses the attraction OF strong
"looal color" Nothing could be more
Vladiyostokian. Its bar and billiard
room, which are in one, are crowded WITH
handsome, martial, uniformed figures eV-
cry evening. Some are strutttng round
the billiard table, and others, fork In
hand, picking up an eclectic zakuska from
the ondiments-caviare pickles, salt fsh,
etc.-exposed in front of glittering row
of miscellaneous alcoholic bottles. Some
are tossing down liqueur glasses Of colorless
vodka-most abominable of drinks-oth-
ers seated, two or three together, socially
discussing garrison scandal, German bot
tied beer and cigarettes. The Chinese
billiard marker meanwhile lolls with all
the sans gene of Montana mining town
marker and watches the "young barbara
ans at play" with placid Mongolian su-
periority.
The zakuska "a term formed on kusok,
"a bit, snack") gives an appetite, and
also has to allay it, for the easy going,
good tempered Russians do not insist on
military punctuality from the Asiatic ho-
tel servants, and these are not likely to
volunteer to give 1t. Every one waits in
Vladivostok. The izvozchiks wait on the
box of their caleche for fare; the Korean
porter, with his carrying frame on his
back, sits on the plank Sidewalk" and
waits for job; the European or Siberian
guests sit at table, smoking cigarettes to
beguile the hours and wait for the winter
to bring them their obied or ujin (lunch
or dinner) ten times already ordered and

two ago. 1t must surely be an error to
