CLEVER ANSWERS

Instances In Which They Won Promotion
In Civil and Military life.
A long list might be given Of men who
have owed their advancement in life to a
clever answer given at the right moment.
An account of how two of them managed
1t may be appropriately given just now.
One Of Napoleon's veterans, who survived
his master many years, was won't to re

up the emperors cooked hat at review,
when the latter, without noticing that he

Napoleon, perceiving his mistake, answer

A somewhat similar anecdote Is related
Of Marshal Suvarof, who, when receiving
a dispatch from the hands Of Russian
sergeant who had greatly distinguished
himself on the Danube, attempted TO oon-
fuse the messenger by u series OF whimsi-
cal questions, but found him fully equal
to the occasion. "How many fish are there
in the seaf' asked Suvaroff. "All that
are not caught yet" was the answer.
"How far is 1t to the moon?" 1.-TWO OF
your exoellency's forced marches. " "What

Brahms must be considered as the most
celebrated Of all living composers, az the
most intellectually prominent in the direct
line of descent from Beethoven, with whom
the similarity Of artistic oonception-the
resultant Of an intsnss absorption and
concentration-is oftsn most striking. His
position in every department Of music
with the exception OF tho opera, which he
never attempted-is indeed supreme His
talent for combination, a. his variations
testify, is extraordinary. II bis polyphonic
works are at times unsympathetic, they
yet remain an inexhaustible mine OF
wealth. Viewed in his totality we see In
him musician who, eombining the high.
est order Of intelligence with an iron will,
has created u special style. This style,
sweeping us not infrequently into wild
and sterile regions with misty, icy peaks,
never touching the prosaio or common
place, has yet its mission to fulfill In light
ing perchance the future part Of some dis
ciple to whom will be revealed the radiant
heights of Parnassus. And Brahms Is still
actively at work among us.-Herr Alex

AN EXPLOSION.

There is also danger from fire damp,
or the union of the gases of the mine
brought together by the light from
lamp or candle. This causes a great
explosion. 1t comes like o stroke of
lightning, and with clap of thunder.
As the explosion occurs roaring
whirlwind of fame goes through the
tunnels, pulling down the timbers and
caving in the walls. 1t burns every
thing within reach. Miners are
blinded, scorched and sometimes
burned to cinders. Hundreds have
often been killed at time by such
explosions, and by the flood of cur
bonic acid gas which follows them.
The statistics show that even in the
United States one miner is killed for
every hundred thousand tons of coal
mined, and those who are injured
number many times this proportion.
