SCHUBERT'S SYMPHONY.

II imagine Schubert sitting beneath a
great tree-the birds singing overhead
writing this symphony which he dedicates
to the daughter Of Count Esterhagy. lie
loved this woman, but, because she was of
noble BIRTH he never married her. Inc
solo al the first signifies his thoughtful
mood This theme continues while six
teen come in, representing the wind rust
ling through the leaves. just before a
comes a wave of passion. Afterwards, a
a low, sweet, jealous sound, expressive
of his happiness in even loving her. A
light motive is heard all the way through
the symphony, expressing her innocence
of his deep love, which he never express
ed to her. From 3 to ID, expressions of
both doubt and love may be heard, and
from here on to Il it seems as if great
struggle is going on between his wild
desire to tell her of his love, and his eff
forts at self-control. He succeeds in
this and now comes a passage expressive
of great triumph. Just before G is a
calm, and again the wind is heard rust
ling through the leaves. After this, the
symphony proceeds very much as at the
irst-expressing his love and struggles
with himself going on, up to the last
page. The soft themes expressing sub
mission to his fate, and the loud ones,
passionate longing. 1t ends in a minor
key. seeming to say that this longing was
never satisfied" ~. e"

The scarf drill, with which the program

Nine young ladies, dressed in white, with
pink scarfs in their hands went through
a series of the most beautiful poses and
figures. Now it was Pallas Athenae

now nuns face solemn and beautiful

A REGULARITY OF the great inland
sea, Lake Michigan, is that it has a
tide all its own. Unlike other tidel
waves, its ebb lasts seven years and
ITS flow for the same period. Scien-
lists, government officials and mari-
ners have all tried TO solve the mys-
terry, but the only plausible explana-
uon is shat this sheet OF water is con-
nected with a great subterranean lake
believed to exss under the Red river
valley, the Dakotas and Montana.
The water level began rising in 1879
and began TO fall in 1856. Now IL is
beginning 20 rise again. The Indians
were the first TO discover this peculiar
ity, and finally scientists have noted it
and conJectured upon its cause.-Mich-

clude from HIS suspicious her second
valet de chambre, a youth Of l9, very
good looking. very respectful and very
well qualified for his duties, who had
been nicknamed "le Petit" not on ac-
count OF his stature for he was rather
tall, but for a feeling Of delicate, pro-
tecting familiarity which his good quail
tiles had won for him.
Meanwhile. among the friends Of
Lady A. there had been a good deal

scribe exactly each piece OF furniture

view her seven servants and say that
though she could not name the thief,
he would be guillotined within two
years.
Some weeks later "let Petit" left the

any reason and two years later he
mounted the scaffold. The servant so
highly esteemed was none other than
