When Inspiration Came,

Bellini could not compose unless he
had a large store of bitter almonds or
sugar plums on hand. He worked
slowly, from the fact that his time was
divided between his notes and his sugar
plums.
Lortzing was also somewhat queer
In his ways. When his working hour
arrived, which was generally from 10
a. m. until 2 p. M. he would provide a
large quantity Of black coffee.
Then, locking the door carefully be.
hind him, he would begin to sling at
random. and drink between times,
whenever he struck few good notes
he would jot them down.

also an eccentric. He not only ate or

Tho author Of q book on early Cana.
dian life says that young girl was ono
afternoon on her way to the spring for
a pail of water, when she heard her pet
lamb bleat, and saw what she supposed
was large dog worrying It.
Being brave girl she dropped the
pail, seized stout stick which lay on
the ground. and rushing forward began
to beat the brute with all her might.
The animal let 20 the lamb and turn.
ed upon the girl, showing his teeth and
snarling. She saw then that she had 70
deal with q wolf instead Of dog. Tho
sharp ears. bushy tail and gaunt figure
were convincing. But she was not
frightened; excitement and fears for
her pet gave her courage. and when
the wolf again seized the lamb sao
valiantly attacked him and again hc
released his prey. She used the club
vigorously and rained blows upon the
wolf. crying for help meantime.
Her brother, hearing her outcry, ran
with his gun toward the spring, bu:
the wolf saw the Reinforcement COIN.
