Mendelssohn and Liszt.

Mendelssohn that he had written some
thing special for him. He sat down,
and swaying right and left on his mu-
sic stool played first a Hungarian mel.
ody, and then three Or four variations,
one more incredible than the other. We
stood amazed, and after everybody had
paid his compliments to the hero of the
day some of Mendelssohn g friends gath
cred round him and said: "Ah, Felix,
now we can pack up. No one can do
that. 1t is over with us.
Mendelssohn smiled, and when press.
ed to play something in return he
laughed and said that he never played
now, and this to certain extent was
true. He did not give much time to
practicing then, but worked chiefly at
composing and directing his concerts.
However, Liszt would take no refusal,
and so at last little Mendelssohn, with
his own charming playfulness, said,
well, I'll play, but You must promise
me not to be angry" And what did he
play?
He sat down and played first of all
Liszt's Hungarian melody, and then
one variation after another, so that no
one but List himself could have told
the difference. We all trembled lest
List should be offended, for Mendels-
sohn could not keep himself from slight
ly initiating LISTS movements and
raptures. However, Mondelssohn man
aged never to offend man, woman or
child. List laughed and applauded and
admitted that no one, not he himself,
could have performed such bravura.

"N-o," drawled Dell. IT guess she's

Dell's mother explained that the
woman in question had a lightning
backing outfit, and she went about the
Ieighborhood backing stoves without
charge just to occupy her time and
benefit the appearance Of her neighbors'
kitchens.
There was world Of tenderness in
Dell's voice when he talked to the girl.
Seldom did he grow tender in his words,
however, only once, when they were
sitting on the porch toward evening and
a mosquito came humming about Dell's
ears. He struck at it with his open
hand, and it few toward the girl.

"Thats what I'd do if was mos

and with a degree Of earnestness that
almost frightened her. She went into

told his mother what he had said

roads Of the way to Groveland, with
his white SLOUGH hat over his eyes and
his shoulders stopped forward as one

of the train at the crossing and stopped
his horses until the last rumble of the
wheels had ceased. Then he touched his
horses with the whip and went on. For
the first time the birds sang unnoticed
over his head. He didn't see the car

did he hear the tinkle of the brook as

ravine. He heard nothing but sound
of young, joyous voice that had made
music for him for week and saw moth

really nothing but the sunshine playing
about him.
And that night the girl went into

down on an ottoman laid her head in

A BOYS COMPLAINT.

Almost the last words father said
To me before he fell asleep
were:-"William, keep this in your
head
The crop you SOW you'll have to
reap!
Don't envy others what they've got,
But you just do the best you can
For all the world, and you cannot
But grow to be worthy man."
I've had to work since father died
I've learned lot / never knew
Before he went; but still I've tried
To do the things he told me to.
I've never cheated any one.
I've always tried to shun the wrong;
II he can see, he knows I've done
My level best to help along.
But every day or two l meet
Some one that father used to know,
Who says:-"My gracious! 1t does
beat
Creation how these boys do grow!"
And SO he stops and looks at me,
And could knife him then, because
He's sure to say I'll never be
Quite such a man as father was.
A week ago my Uncle John
Came on visit from the West;
"Gosh how you've grown since I've
been gone!"
He sald-and then guessed the rest.
He grabbed me by the muscle-gee!
What an awful grip he had!
but O. course" said he, you'll never
be
Quite such Teller as your dad!"
Still, mother tells me not to care
What such unthinking people say;
She says she knows Ill make them
stare
II God but lets me live, some day;
For even Washington" says she,
mo doubt was often sad because
Folks told him he would never be
The man his humble father was"

Harcourt,s Beaoonsaeld Apeodote.

Sir William Harcourt has one quite
unique memory of the support he gave
in old days to the public worship regu-

which he received to visit Lord Bea-
consfeld at Hughenden Manor.
Taking his guest-the member of a
family representing the ownership of
broad acres-round his minute demesne,
Lord Beaconsfeld said, Excuse the
vanity of a landed proprietorp The
young politician accompanied his host
on Sunday to the village church, and
on the way thither was warned that
some hints of the high church move
ment had penetrated even that sylvan
solitude. "My friend, the vicar" said
the lord Of the manor, Twill take what
I call collection and he calls an offer
tory, and afterward what call plate

The Cause of Laughter.

Balm suggests the explanation that
laughter is provoked by what he calls a
degradation, meaning that we laugh
when we all at once perceive something
degrading, triokery, a weakness or
pettiness in some person or object which
we respect, as when the infirmities of
human nature disclose themselves in a
person of importance or when some
trivial affair occurs in a solemn cere-
mony to drag us down or when the
wrong side of some great thing or some
great man is exposed.
1.-THE occasion of the laughter is the
degradation Of a dignified person or in
terest under circumstances that do not
excite a stronger emotion. In all theo-
ries Of laughter the more or less impor-
tant fact is marked y y that the feel
ing of the ludicrous arises when some
thing which we respected before is pre-
sented in mean light, for we have no
disposition to laugh when something
that we already regarded as such is de-
picted as tricky and vile. Popular

Dangerous Thief.

A French actress travelling about the
country, had for use in one of her plays
lay figure, skillfully put together and
dressed in a travelling suit. So says the
New York Herald, which proceeds to
tell oomical story about it.:
AT Marseilles it was left in the lug
gage room with other things. The curl
osity of two of the railway employees
being aroused at the sight of it, they
took off the coverings and resolved to
play joke on their comrades. They
placed the figure In an armchair at the
desk of the cashier and shut the door.
When the employees on night service
came, they opened the door and were
surprised to see man sitting before the
cash box. They Immediately closed and
locked the door and ran for assistance.
A policeman arrived, revolver in
hand, believing, like the employees,
that he had to deal with dangerous
thief. He called on the figure to sur
render and follow him to the station.
AS it did not obey the summons, the po-
Hceman shut the door and went in
search of re-enforcements to surround
the place and thereby prevent the Gull
prit from escaping.
The door was again opened, the arm
ed force entered, and it was not till they
had suddenly bounced on the poor lay
robber that they discovered the joke.

rno Mich For HYataon.

Only once did Watson, when captain,
never fail 10 punish man for intoxica-
ton. This was in the summer of 1898
at Boston, when the San Francisco
took the Massachusetts naval militia on
its first practice cruise. Among the
regular crew was old Alexander Parker,
sailmaker's mate, who was never known
to remain sober when there was liquor
to be had When the naval militiamen
came on board a witty boatswain's
mate, while no officer was near, sang
out in an authoritative tone:
"All you men having whisky on
board lay below and turn it In to the
sailmaker's mate for safe keeping"
Many amateur sailors took the bait,
and In a few minutes old Aleck, sit
ting down below decks in his sailroom,
was surprised to have vast collection
of TASKS passed to him. He received all
these as gifts with many thanks He
was found day after sound asleep in
his sailroom, literally covered with
empty bottles of every size and shape.
He was finally taken before the captain,
to whom was told the circumstances

Asked For a Shirt and Got a Wife

During the civil war there was GER
tain young lady in Georgetown who
found it in her power to do a great deal
for the Confederate soldiers confined
in prison at Washington. Young, beau
tiful, cultured, popular, of a wealthy
and prominent family, she was fire.
quently allowed admission to the pris-
on, whittier she always took her maid
with well stocked basket of good
things for the poor boys behind the bars.
One day as she was passing through a
group of men in the common prison she
stopped and said to them:
eff there is anything you would like
to have that can bring you, won't you
let me know? shall be very glad"
One man stepped forward promptly.
Bowling most courteously, he said:
eff you will be so kind, should like
very much to have a clean shirt"
He was a young lieutenant from
Louisiana, one of the handsomest and
most elegant men I ever met, and when
that young lady looked up into his
brown eyes she found it in her heart to
give him much more than a clean shirt,
for she married him as soon as the war
was over.-Philadelphia Times
