Som Bad Musical Breaks That Have Been
Made by Writers.
In their allusioDs TO the musical art our
novclists commit the most amazing blum
ders with the most serene conscience,
hlunders of which any schoolgirl would be
ashamed, and from which no more trouble
than is necessary TO turn over the leaves of
a dictionary of music might have saved
then. One novelist, for example, makes
hi hero a soprano Another pictures
Scottish highlander sitting on the roadside

ing himself on the baRpipe Mr.. Marion
Crawford has ascribed LA Favorita" to
Verdi a feat paralleled by Mr. Black in
setting q lady down to piano to play
Beethovon's Farewell" a composition
unknown to that musicians many admir-
ers. Mr.. Black has again distinguished
himself by describing one Of his heroines
ms playing an unhenrd of and impossible
sonata Of Mozart's in A sharp major. One
of the early popes stigmatized the inno-
cont scale of G major as lasoivious and
banished it from the music Of the church.
One can understand Mr.. Black s key Of A
sharp major being placed on the index ex-
purgatorius of the musician, for the ten
sharps which would be required to make
up its signature would frighten Diabolus
among piano players. Even Charles Reade,
who really did know something about
music, at any rate about old violins, was
on dangerous ground when he ventured
on details of musical tcohnio.
In "Peg Wof2ngton," for example, he
makes 80 famous actress whistle a quick
movement upon huge paste ring and
then tells how Mr.. Cibber was ooufounded
| by this sparkling adagio." No wonder
Mr.. Cibber was confounded. A quick
movement which is at the same time an

The Antiquity of the Glove.

The antiquity of gloves has long been
in dispute. The question turns upon the
rendering Of passage in tho fourth chap
ter of the book Of Ruth, verses Z, g;
"Now this was the manner in former
time in Israel concerning redeeming and
concerning changing, for to confirm all
things; a man pluoked off his shoe and
gave it to his neighbor, and this was a
testimony in Israel Therefore the kins-
man said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So
ho drew off his shoe" "
For shoe, in these verses, it Is said we
ought to read glove On this matter M.
Joscphs, Hebrew Of great literary attain
ments and author Of several learned works,
advances the following theory The Hes
brew nangul signifies Co shut close or In,
close. When followed by regel, the foot,
it might mean a shoe or sandal, but when
it stands by itself, as in the original Of
the passage quoted, it must be rendered
glove" 1t is further stated that the an
ciont and modern rabbins agree in render,
ing tho word from the original as glove, "

translator gave, instead of shoe, his pic.

The Elevator Mans Trick Offended the
Falling Girl.
"You fellows have got your business
down to quite an exact science" the
eighth floor passenger remarked, observing
that tho elevator had been stopped with
its floor on an exact level with the floor of
tho hallway.
Yes" the elevator man assented; "a
person gets so used to tb96 sort Of thing
that he doesn { notice It much. A rather
neat piece of work was done In that next
shaft the other day." he continued.
Probably nobody except me would have
paid any attention to it, but it struck me
as very good illustration of the skill that
can be developed in this profession.

second floor door of this here shaft where
the thing occurred had been left open and
2 stenographer girl gets absentminded and
steps in. The car was then at the twelfth,
coming up, and the elevator man sees the
stenographer just us she starts Here,
thisll never do, says he, and with that he
reverses and starts his car down
"The girl passes me at the seventeenth,
and l throws everything open to keep
alongside of her, and watch what happens
AT the rate she was going judged she d
hit the roof of the car under her with an
awful bump, but she didn't. The elevator
man kop his eye on her and gauged the
speed of his car SOS to fall Just le.e.etle
bit slower than she did. She'd almost
caught him at the seventh, and they was
going like fun. II 1t hadn't been a pretty
high building his calculations would have
been upset of course, As it was, though,
ne had time TO jolly her for floor or two
kept just out of her reach, you know, SOS
TO keep her guessing. When he sees he's
getting pretty close to bottom he pulls the
lever over just the le-east Bit sir, and she
lights on the roof Of that car just as easy as
if she was sitting down on an easy chair.
He stops with his roof flush with the second
floor, and the stenographer opens the door
and stops out. She'd never speak to that
man again, sho vowed, because he'd joshed
her that little bit on the way down. Funny

Edmond de Amiois, the Italian writer,
visited Sardou in Paris and describes the
visit in his "Nuova Autologia." OF the
old dramatist he says;
HE looked little like Napoleon, a lit
tie like Voltaire and littlo like the smil,
ing portrait Of malicious actress which
had seen in shop window the previous
day. He wore a large black velvet cap,
below which fell long, waving gray locks.
He had a silk handkerchief round his neck
and was wrapped in a wide, dark oolored
Jacket, which looked like a demidressing
gown. My attention was riveted by his
strange face, without beard and oolorless,
with long nose and pointed chin and ir-
regular and strongly marked features,
lighted up by two koenly sparkling gray
eyes, full of thought, the glances of which
corresponded with the rapid motion of the
thin and flexible lips, and the acute yet
benevolent expression OF the whole face,
sometimes illuminated by bright, slight
ly mocking smile, like that of a quite
young man. He did not look more than 10
years Of age, and when he spoke he seemed
still younger"
