MoZart's Method.

Mozart's method Of composition was
such as could only have been pursued
by a child of genius. He would rise
early, eat a hearty breakfast and then
stroll for several hours in forest near
his home, where, inspired by nature s
beauties, heavenly melodies came troop
ing through his brain. Repairing to his
cottage, he would summon his wife,
very witty woman, and bid her tell
him stories He would then mount his
high stool and proceed to commit these
inspirations to paper, his wife telling
him jokes and funny stories while he
wrote. These he enjoyed immensely,
frequently interrupting her with hearty
bursts Of laughter and sometimes even
falling from the stool and rolling on the
floor. But amid all this hilarity and
uproar the flow Of music which was to
move the world went steadily on His
productions were wrought without the
least thought or study, but came almost
unbidden ''direct from heaven. = Like
Shakespeare, he was purely the creature
Of inspiration, a genius Of the highest
order. &C. G. Heat in Housekeeper

Striking Effect of Climate.

Occasionally an eloquent testimonial
to the virtues of a 'health resort" fails
to find place in the printed matter
sent out by the hotel keepers or others
interested in the prosperity Of the place.
A railway president who had gone to
one of the summer resorts of the north
west to spend few weeks was sitting
on the veranda of hotel enjoying the
lake scenery and his cigar when he
was accosted by resident "boomer"
with the remark:
"You II find the air here full of ozone,
sir. You'll sleep like log. Before you
have been here week you will gain
ten pounds or I miss my guess, and
I'm generally right. -
II don't doubt it, replied the rail-
way magnate. IT gained eight pounds
the very first day.
THAT beats the record,' said the
boomer slightly dazed, but recover
ing himself promptly, Though I've
known instances almost equal to it..
Eyes," rejoined the other, "eight
pounds. weighed myself on nickel
in the slot machine at the railway sta
tion when landed here, and the in
dicator pointed to 157. An hour later
I stepped on the same kind of machine
at the hotel, and the figure was 1855.
Gain of eight pounds in go minutes,
sir, and hadn't eaten bite. Hadn't
done anything but breathe this wonder
full air. Never saw anything like it..
Marvellous climate, sir-simply marvel
GUS. And all it cost me was 10 cents. -

Heirs Afraid of q Bomb,

By way Of illustrating the nervous
ness which the recent explosions have
revived here, queer adventure which
has just befallen the heirs Of house
owner may be mentioned. They had
met at the dwelling of their departed
uncle for the purpose Of drawing up an
inventory of his effects in company
with lawyer and had nearly completed
their task when one Of them pulled out
of a cupboard a metal box, which was
laid on the table and which the man of
business was about to open, when one of
his nleces cried out in horror: "Don't
touch It'll Look, that is fuse.' Sure
enough, there was little something
popping out of the cover. "It is a
bombl' exclaimed the panic stricken
heirs in chorus, and then they proceed
ed to remark that their deceased rela~
tive had been a moody, silent and re-
served sort of individual, and thence
they inferred that he might possibly
have been all anarchist. Two of the
nephews had had put on their hats and
were on the point Of rushing off to the
Office Of the nearest police commissary,
| when the lawyer, who had been quietly
inspecting the box, calmly suggested
that it might simply contain some pre-
served fruit. This theory somewhat re.
assured the men, but the ladies would
have their way. The commissary was
sent for, and the mysterious box was
soon ON it's way to the municipal labora-
tory. It was found to contain pine
apple, the stalk of which had been mis-
taken for fuse. So the good old uncle,
who had been SO ungratefully maligned,
had not been an anarchist after all. -

EARLY American Bishops.

Before the war for American indie
pendence the American Episcopalians,
who were connected with the English
church, were never suffered to have a
bishop among them, but remained un-
der the jurisdiction of the bishop of
London. The rite of confirmation was
unknown, and every candidate for or
dination was obliged to travel toEng-
land. Out of SO candidates who came
from America for ordination III 1857 10
died on the voyage. At length, after
the United States had been declared In
dependent, DR.. Seabury was ordained
bishop Of Connecticut by the primus
and bishops of Scotland, the melates Of
the English church having refused to
consecrate him. 80 London News.

1nfAmed ct Sight Of an Offensive Bird q
Visitor Wore on Her Hat.
A bridal couple who put in several
days recently taking il the sights Of
the capital enjoyed themselves I'M
mensely until thesday preceding their
departure It then occurred to the bride
that she had not called upon "dear
Fanny, - who had been her chum dur
ing hx:.days at the seminary. Now,
Fanny was still enjoying single blessed
ness, and this may have had something
to do with the anxiety of the bride to
call upon her maiden chum. George de-
INJURED feebly, but at last consented to
pay a formal call. The bride dressed
herself ina fetching gown and placed
upon her saucy head a Partisan dream
in the way of a hat. The hat was one
Of those indescribable creations of the
milliner's art, a mass Of flowers with a
bird or two partially concealed in the
foliage, so to speak. z-'
The pair went gayly forth and in a
hotel coupe were soon at the door Of
Fanny's residence. Their cards were
taken and they were ushered into the
drawing room. While awaiting the
coming of her friend the brides atten-
ton was attracted to a large cage con-
tanning asplendid parrot. She chirruped
cooingly to the imprisoned bird and
wished she might take him out of his
cage and caress him. George remarked
that he looked tame enough and sug-
gested the opening of the door Of the
cage. Suiting action to the word, he
opened the door and the released bird
calmly walked forth and strutted
about, blinking his beady eyes know
ingly. The bride, with usual calls Of
Poll, pretty Poll!'' coaxed the bird to-
ward her, and poll proceeded to climb
up the rounds Of the chair upon which
the lady was sitting and perched herself
upon the ann Of the chair The parrot
uttered cultural cries Of ''Polly, Polly"
this word seemingly comprising her ell
tire vocabulary.
The bird accepted the czresses, and
apparently all was serene, but without
an instant's warning she. uttered a
scream of rage and few at the lady's
headgear, alighting fairly thereon, and
then for a few minutes the air was fill
ed with flying feathers and bits of flow
ers, while the atmosphere was fractured
by screams from the bride and discord-
ant cries from the parrot. George at
tempted to come to the rescue and had
his face badly scratched for his pains
The lady finally shook the bird loose
from the flower garden she was wear
ing upon her hat and made one wild
dash for the front door, followed close
ly by the bridegroom Once on the pave
ment, they became somewhat composed
and determined to return to their hotel
to repair damages. They did not tarry
long enough to see "dear Fanny"
The sudden wrath Of the bird was
evidently caused, George thought upon
reflection during calmer moments, by
the fact that amid the flowers in his
wife's hat there nestled a stuffed Caro-
line parrakeet, which the parrot took
to be a real live rival and proceeded
forthwith to demolish. The bride is
now a thorough convert to the teach
ings Of the Audubon society.
