StudYing Music.

81 don't think l shall take music les
sons this autumn, said young girl to
the writer rot long ago. "You see,
haven't a particle of talent, and So
what is the use?" There is just this use.
Admitting that you can never learn to
play as we'll as the most unpretending
professional or those who play by ear
which latter is to be doubted, a musical
education is valuable, inasmuch as it
will teach you what to enjoy and how
to enjoy it whenever you have the op-
portunity to hear good music. To those
who think of music as only succession
of pleasurable sounds it may not seem
worth while for those having no talent
to study the rules governing compost
ton. But if you once learn that music
is as exact q science as mathematics,
that there is an exquisite beauty in the
development of an idea, the working
out Of musical problem, apart from
the poetry suggested by the melody OF
even the harmony, you have found the
key to fresh world of never failing
delight. Though you may never be able
to play one page satisfactorily to your
friends or to yourself, you will have
learned music in such a way that you
will not regret the time spent in its ac-
on.-BrCoklyn Eagle.

FANNY KEN BILE.

The Famous Actress Was a Troublesome
Woman on the Stage.
Charles Halle once said to me: Fan
ny Kemble was the most difficult per-
son / ever had to deal with. remem-
Der one day at Manchester she was to
read "A Midsummer Nights Dream
with Mendelssohn's music. Well, some
thing in the lighting, or the desk, or
the music, or the chair, did not quite
suit her, but at that late hour nothing
could be altered. So Fanny Kemble sim
ply sat down outside on the stairs in
the passage and cried. Nothing, she de-
clared, would induce her to begin until
everything was exactly to her taste. I
implOred her to go in, as the place was
crowded and the people impatient. At
last got her on to the platform. new
or saw woman in such a passion about
such a trifle. -
How deep was the impression she
made upon me as a boy. heard her
read that same Midsummer Nights
Dream. with Mendelssohn's lovely
music played by full orchestra, only
Il year or two after Mendelssohn's death.
The famous orchestral player, Mr.. Will
ly (now tOrgotten) led the first violins.
Fanny's versatility, her rapid changes
as she sat with the book open before her
ON crimson velvet cushion, were phe-
nomenal Her only successor is Mrs.
Grove, the once famous Leah. Neither
Brandram nor Mrs. Dallas Glynn could
touch her as a Shakospearean reader.
Her rendering Of Bottom and his crew
is among those memories which will
take rank with old Harley's gravedig-
ger. Why Fanny was never brilliant
i. c., real "Kemble success on
the stage / could never imagine. OF
course, 1 never saw her act. Her dra-
matte career was a short one and over be-

pathos of the closing scenes of her "Ro-
moo and Juliet

dark face and black hair, piercing black
eyes and long black velvet dress gave
her a strange and tragic appearance,
which she entirely shook off in the
carly love scenes, but which served to
color profoundly the terrible poison

an imperfect appreciation of music. She
was for leaving out this and curtailing

Some curious stories can be told
about the thousands of false diamonds
sold yearly in London. A working
goldsmith says he has seen a good deal
of the trade in imitation stones. People
in all ranks buy them. A nobleman is
in immediate want of cash, and must
have it somehow He will, perhaps,
turn to his family diamonds. Possibly
100000 could be raised on them. He
takes the iewelry off to the false dia-
mond provider, has the real stones re-
moved and false ones put in. and de-
posits the actual jems with some one
as a security for loan. No one is a
bit the wiser. His wife'appears in her
jewels just the same as usual. If she
didn't her husband would be made
bankrupt by his creditors the next

Freaks OF the Temperature and TOpOgrn-
ply In San Francisco.
San Francisco sprawls over q sandy
peninsula shaped like a clinched fist,
with it's face to the east and the noble,
landlocked bay which the navies of the
world would not crowd, and with its
back to the Pacific ocean, which rolls
in without a break from China, 1000
miles away. 1t covers an area Of 20
square miles, though much of this is
built over in struggling fashion. 1t has
thrice as many hills as Rome boasted
of, but over the highest of these the ca
BILE cars climb. Seen from the bay at
night, the spectacle is superb. as the
streets are transformed into parallel
lines of twirkling lights that seem to
ascend, like Jacobs ladder, to the stars
Justin Mccarthy in Lady Judith"
gives the most poetical as well as the
most faithful picture of this remarkable
sight Of San Francisco from the bay.
Had the original builders of the city
adopted the Italian custom of carrying
streets around hills, with terraced gar
dens, San Francisco would be the most
beautiful city in the world. AS it is,
many of the streets are merely great,
unsightly bitches that run in ugly par
allel lines up the steep hills and through
tlaeir SUBMITS. From a score of points
Of vantage one may get superb views Of
the bay, the harbor with its picturesque
islands, the encircling hills and the
Golden Gate, the narrow entrance
tnrough which come and go the ships Of
the orient.
What impresses the visitor to San
Francisco most forcibly is the peculiar
fondness for the bay window. But this
taste seems natural and sensible when
be is told that it is due to the necessity
Of getting all the sunshine that can be
secured. Here, as in Italy, between sun
shine and shade there is the difference
between summer and winter. The San
Francisco climate is the greatest cli-
mate in the world for continuous work,
as the mean temperature is SO and there

MUST TAKE THE RIGHT OF THE
RoAD.-A man driving horse on the
streets of Indianapolis the other day
refused to take the right side of the
road in meeting a bicyclist. The re-
suit was a collision, in which the bicy-
clist came off second best and was Sc
riOusly injured. Judge Cox, before
whom the case came for trial, held that
the driver was in the wrong, and that
in not taking the right side of the
road he was guilty of intent to commit
assault and battery. The decision is
of Importance in view of the fact that
drivers of vehicles are disinclined to
observe the law of the road, so far as
bicyclists are concerned, and as the
wheel has come into common use, it is
necessary that the rider be protected
by the law.

Nature, the gentlest mother,
Impatient of no child,
The feeblest or the waywardest,
Her admonition mild
In forest and the hill
By traveller is heard
Restraining rampant squirrel
Or too impetuous bird.
How fair her conversation
A summer afternoon,
Her household, her assembly,
And when the sun goes down
Her voice among the aisles
Incites the timid prayer
Of the minutest cricket,
The most unworthy flower.
When all the children sleep,
She turns as long away
AS will suffice to light her lamps,
Then, bending from the sky,
With infinite affection
And infiniter care,
Her golden finger on her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.
