Giving Twenty Francs to Man Not

From the London Sun.
1.-THE Queens Musketeers," which is again
a great Partisan success. was first brought
out at the Opera Comique, when HaIevy was
distinctly down on his luck. Indeed, he was
counting upon the success Of his new work
as a means of getting his affairs into order
again. He had taken the very greatest care
with 1t. eliminating every phrase and every
bar that smacked Of the commonplace. Es-
pecially-and here lies the whole point of
the story-he had been at infinite pains to
avoid repeating himself. and to strike out
every motif that might lead his critics to ac-
cuse him of plagiarism from his former OPP
eras
The rehearsals went capitallyI the artistes
were delighted with their parts. Everything
foretold success. One day, as ne left the
theater after rehearsal and took stroll along
the boulevard, he heard somebody whistling
a tune near him. He listened in amazemenf.
for 1t was tune that he recognized only too
well. Heavensi 1t was Just the air of the
song which he had written for Capitaine Ro-
land in his new piece.
Unconsciously he had been composing from
memory. He went up to the whistler. q

his tune, and asked him what on earth he was

whistling.
My friend. you are surprised" said the
man, and no wonder. Do you know that
there is not another man in the streets of
Paris who could whistle you that tune?''
''Why?"
Because it is song that nobody knows
yet"
''Indeed?"
Certainly, because it is in the new niece
that they are rehearsing in the Opera
Comious.'
"A-a-a-ahi'' said Halevy with deep sigh
OF relief; But how on earth is 1t that you
know it?''
We'll, because was putting up a partition

by trade, you KNOXVILLE the song was be-
ing sung"
THE deuce!' said Halevy. I did not think
it could be learned SO easily. Look here my
friend there is louis for you, and do not
whistle it any more"
"Why2"
Because ! am the author of it,
oh said the musical carpenter And
as he went away he muttered to himself: He
is queer fish. Why didn't he give me the 20
francs to keep on whistling it?"

Foes of Ships.
Chicago Chronicle.

In the old days of wooden ships the boring
insects which live in wood were their chisf
foes. Teakwood acquired its reputation as a
shipbuilding material because of its supposed
immunity from these vermin. Steel Ships
suffer from barnacles which foul their bot.
toms much more rapidly than they do wooden
ones. These strange marine growths are
sometimes big as ones fist and adhere to
the metal plates with tremendous force and
besides impeding the ship themselves, they
catch sea grass and other rubbish and drag
1t through the water. When a dry dock Il
not available metal ships have to have their
bottoms cleaned by divers.

MANY Times Married.

Mrs Augustus Thistlewood, Of Providence,
r.. l., has been married six times. At her last
wedding four of her former husbands were
presenl and acted as ushers. The fifth sent
his regrets and present, and an invitation to
the bride and groom to spend the honeymoon
at his house. The average term of servitude
for these husbands was ten months; all the
divorces granted upon the application of
the lady, without opposition. The dissolution
Of the matrimonial ties has been due to the
tact and diplomacy of the lady, who convinced
her several spouses that they were mismated.

Mr.. McKinleys message to the congress.

larly important features which in many
quantefs were confidently anticipated. This
IS noticeably the case in recommendations
relating TO the newly annexed territory and

gestion that a military occupation and con-

more could be said until the treaty with

deals in the usual annual routine OF such
documents, being review OF the workings
of the government, coupled win such rec
concentrations as tine department. reports
and the needs of tho Nation suggest. Among
these the more important are those urging
