IdiOsyncrasies of the lien Who Made
HARMONY in the Past.

I am tickled to know that Wagner
was an exact and expensive dresser,
and that Beethoven was sloven, with
an old coat and slippers trodden down
at the heels, says a writer in the Con
temporary Review 1t interests me
to hear that Paganini always carried
shirt In his fiddle case, because he
perspired so profusely over his solos
that he had to change between the parts
if he played twice. / even care to learn
that Mendelssohn was perfect child
about pastry, which he could never re-
sist, and which he always ate (espe-
cially cherry pie) and which always dis
agreed with him; that Schumann in
jured his third finger by tying it back
to his wrist with string, because he
hoped to make it more supple-it ended
however, In his almost losing the use of
it; that Bulow got up in the night to
play over passages which he thought he
was likely to play inaccurately at his
prodigious recitals.
When Thalberg was at the hight Of
his fame he wouldn't even carry an
umbrella for fear of it cramping the
muscles Of his hand; Malibran loved
nothing SO much as romping with Mos
cheles' children on the floor: Paganini
vas so stingy that he would stand up
under shelter in the rain and keep a
whole opera-house full waiting sooner
than call a cab. Professor Ella told
me he found him one day crouching un-
der the Arcade in Regent street, and
that he gave the artless explanation:
Hackney coaches" he said, sin Lon
don were so expensive!" and this when
he had doubled the prices at the opera
house where he played and was rolling

Santa Cruz Sentinel: Every one must
see that the great mass of the prop

persons of small or moderate holdings.
1t is in the hands of those whose pos
sessions range from a few hundred to
a few thousand dollars. There is no
such division among our people as
small body of persons of vast wealth
and a mighty residuum of paupers, nor
is there any approximation to it. Dis
tribution of wealth goes on fairly and
regularly among those who have the
intelligence, energy and industry to
make their way; and the other sort

officer of the guard, as he sent off an
Irish trooper with a message; don't
forget the word"
Sure I won't, SIR" was the reply.

Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff,
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease but simply to constipated condl-
tion of the system. which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
iv removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andi is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all

one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
ALI important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-

THOUSANDS DIE

Disease and Impure Air.
Important Points About 'Purifne," the
Great DiSinfeCtant,
&c Il pu..1
Is. F. Post.1

In these enlightened days of the nine
teenth century it is an acknowledged
fact that can ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" and that ounce
of prevention was never better exempli-
fed than in the use of the great dis,n-
fectant known as "Purifine." The public
has had many disnfectants brought to
their attenti n. Some were good, some
were bad, and some were simply Indif-
ferent. but none ever vet placed on the
market combined all the many good
qualities of 'Purifine.' In the first place
it was left to the manufacturers of
"Purifine' to compound disinfectant
and antiseptic that would be odorless, a
most important matter, las users CT disin-
fectants well know that the odor of the
disinfectant, especially when in constant
use, becomes sickcning and disagreeable,
oftentimes as much so as the odor or
smell to be killed.
In word, "Purifine" is odorless, and
is work, removal, not creating one odor
to cover another. 1t comes in highly
concentrated form, and when diluted
with two parts water there is not the
slightest odor, rendering it suitable for
places where food is kept. In the bath
room, sleeping room or about the house
generally it is indispensable.
Then again it is non-poisonous, an all
important feature, for if used carelessly
by children or servants there are no
harmful results, and it is absolutely safe
to have around the house.
! AS sample of its harmlessness it can
even be used in in refrigerators, and, if
accidently spilled no harm is done, and
it is particularly adapted for this use
The uses for which "Purifne" is used are
almost limitless, and to enumerate them
would fill pages of The Post. For flush.
ing sewers, and for cleansing sinks
drains, barns, urinals, water closets,
floor cloths and the bed clothes from
sickness or infection it is invaluable.
Then again the price is so low that il
can be used lavishly and for. hospitals,
asylums, public buildings. hotels, restau.
rants, school rooms, laundries, diaries,
markets, stables, packing houses and
canneries where disinfectant is used in
large quantities, this Is a point to be
considered. One gallon is used to bar.
rel of water, and for general use one
tablespoonful to pint of water.
"Puritne"is sure preventive against
cholera, la grippe, small pox, diphtheria,
all fevers and contagious diseases.
AS an antlseptic and healer "Purifne"
is invaluble, for it relieves and cures
sore throat, catarrh, stings and bites OF
insects, burns and scalds. chilblains, sore
eyes. pimples, and for the bath it is a
delightful adjunct. 1t will instantly
stop any flow of blood, and physicians
will understand It's full value from its
principal constituents, bromine and
chlorine. 1t is prepared only by the
