Wagner q Fiend For Work.

M. Roche, the French musician who
undertook to adapt the libretto of
Tannhauser" for French opera, tells of
the trouble he had with Wagner. "He

There is evidently certain laxity of
demeanor allowed in the proceedings
of courts of justice in the up country
districts of some of the colonies, if the
following case may be taken as an ex-
ample:
1t happened at Gala, little place in
the Queenstown district of the cape
The trial was for sheep stealing-a
probably not unusual occurrence in that
part of the world-the stealing of sheep
being for some occult reason crime to
which every new district is peculiarly
susceptible.
All of sudden the court was startled
by the prisoner in the dock, who was
evidently of a sporting tendency, lean
ing forward and offering to bet the
judge half a sovereign that the view he
was taking of the case was not cor
rect one.
Order having been restored, the Judge
went on with his charge. The jury re-
tired and subsequently returned into
court with verdict of not guilty.
Instead of hastily leaving the court
the prisoner remained in the dock,
busily engaged i'll searching his pockets.
"What are you waiting for?" asked
the judge.
"Trying to find that half sovereign, :"
returned the erstwhile prisoner

among Them Scheme to Keep Con-
ductors Honest.
1t is many years since Mark Twain's
lines immortalizing the enforced
punching of variously colored slips by
street railway conductors to prevent
their holding up the company" ran
riot through the land, and the "buff
trip slips" the" pink trip slips" and the
"blue trip slips' have long been aban-
doned by most street railways in favor
of the clock faced indicator. This is a
fairly good device, but still it may be
worked y clever man not unwilling
to divert a few nickels to his own
pocket. In Toronto the company has
scheme which, so far as any one knows,
has never yet been circumvented by
conductor. Indeed, it is difficult to see
how it could be got around without the
connivance of passenger. By this plan
the conductor does not touch money or
tickets at all. When collecting, he car
ries around specially made receptacle
INTO which the passenger must put his
own ticket or cent piece. The con-
ductor who violates the company g rules
by taking the fare from the passenger
and putting it into the fare holder is
liable to discharge. At the end of each
collection the receptacle is hung upon a
special hook and must there remain I'M
til more passengers board the car.
The cars of the trolley line between
Minneapolis and st. Paul are fitted with
admirable appliances to prevent acct
dents to passengers careless in stepping
on and off. At the rear end of each car
are folding gates which are under the
control of the motorman, who does not
open them until the car has reached
full stop and closes them before it
starts again. Controlled by the same
lever as that which opens and closes the
gates are folding steps, which let down
when the gates open and close up when
they shut.
The managers of this same line have
carried the street car advertising notion
to greater length than the managers
of most other trolley lines in the United
States. In addition to the ordinary space
for advertisements over the windows,
the backs of the seats are provided with
panels for the display of advertising
matter. This does not, however, seem
to attract the advertisers of the twin
cities very much, for the panels are very
rarely utilized except for amusement

"RoCK OF AGES"
A Sketch OF the Author of That Widely
Popular HYMN.

EOPui<sr H.
The recent proposal to celebrate the
association Of Augustus Montague Top
lady with Trinity college, Dublin, has
placed the author of Rock of Ages"
once more on the borders of the living
land, says the London Sunday Maya
zine. In truth, there is some need to
have the name of Toplady recalled to
us, for, although everybody knows his
famous hymn, the man himself is all
but forgotten. Yet Toplady was nota-
BILE character in the theological circles
of his time Top,ady was the son of a
major in the army and was born in
1740 at Farnham, in Surrey. His IA
Their was killed at the siege of Cartha-
gena, before the boy was year old,
and the future preacher was thus left
solely to the care of his widowed mother
"a sister, by the way, of Rev. Mr..
Bate, the rector of st. Paul's, Deptford.
Like Charles Wesley, he was a pupil at
Westminster school, from which he
passed in due time to Trinity college,
Dublin, his mother having removed to
Ireland. According to Toplady's own
account, his conversion was brought
about when he was only 16 by hearing
Worklngman preacher named Morris
IN barn at a place called Codymain.
He died of consumption in 1878.
Toplady, besides being laborious
student, had early employed himself in
the diversion of versemaking. Indeed,
he printed a little volume in Dublin in
1863, when he was only 10. Later on,
while at Broad Hembury, he issued a
collection of no fewer than 419 Psalms
and Hymns For Public and Private
Worship" a considerable number Of
which were from his own pen. There
are something like 1873 hymns attrib.
uted to Toplady, but only very few
OF these have attained to anything like
popularity. Indeed, if we except Rock
of Ages, Your Harps, Ye Trembling
Saints" and perhaps "Object of My
First Desire, we shall be safe in say
ing that Toplady's hymns have quite
passed into oblivion, or at least are re-
membered only by the curious in such
matters.
Cnriously enough this favorite hymn
was written by Toplady for a contro-
versial purpose, and it was the Wesleys
against whose doctrine the author de-
sired to protest.

equally astonished, though perhaps not
disposed to laughter, had they known that
the women of western nations, through false
ideas of delicacy, suffer in silence untold
agony, and sometimes death, through neg
lect of their health in womanly way.
Women, who suffer in this way shrink from
the embarrassing examinations and local
treatment insisted upon by the majority of
physicians. If they only knew it, there is
