Mendelssohn and Liszt.

Liszt appeared in his Hungarian cos
tune, wild and magnificent He told
Mendelssohn that he had written some
and swaying right and left on his mu-
sic stool played first 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' S 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
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
LISTS Hungarian melody, and then
one variation after another, so that no
one but Liszt himself could have told
the difference We all trembled lest
Liszt should be offended, for Mendels-
sohn could not keep himself from slight
ly initiating Liszt's movements and
raptures However, MendeIssohn man
aged never to offend man, woman or
child. Liszt laughed and applauded and
admitted that no one, not he himself,
could have performed such bravura.

There was a world of tenderness in

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
mosquito came hu1nming about Dell's
ears. He struck at it with his open
hand, and it flew toward the girl.
''Don't send your mosquitoes over this
way to bite me, =" she said.
"That's what I'd do if was mos
Quito" said Dell without smile
and with a degree of earnestness that
almost frightened her. She went into
the house then, and Dell saw her no
more that evening" and there was a lit
tie strain in his left side that almost
choled him when he thought of her. He
told his mother what he had said.
"I meant it, too" he said and then
added desperately, ST wish / was a
mos-q-u-i-t-o. I"
dell, +" said his mother, you must
not say such things. She won't like it.
She isn't plain, like us, and she won T
know how to take it. But they are go-
ing away in the morning, so you must
be up early to drive them to the sta
ton. -
AS the train left at an early hour
every one was awake soon after day
break. When the girl came down stairs
dressed for her journey, she looked
around for Dell. He was not there His
place at the breakfast table was cleared.
The mother hustled in.
dell had to go to Groveland this
morning, she said "Little Peter Fer
guson will drive you to the depot -
tBut he didn't say goodby to us, -
said the girl. II call it unfair of Dell
to go away without saying goodby."
SWELL, he had to go early, and you
wasn't up, - said the mother, and he
said wasn't to disturb you.'
Dell, driving down through the shady
roads of the way to Groveland, with
his white slouch hat over his eyes and
his shoulders stopped forward as one
sits when thinking heard the whistle
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
it dropped over the slate lodges into the
ravine. He heard nothing but a sound
of a young, joyous voice that had made
music for him for week and saw moth
ing but CLINT of yellow hair that was
really nothing but the sunshine playing
about him.
And that night the girl went into
Miss Hamilton's room, and sitting
down on an ottoman laid her head in
the other wolnan's lap and cried:
"What is it, Bernardine? Aren't you
happy?'
Eyes, she said, II am happy, but ]

Does Baby
hrive?

If your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of Scott's
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
It is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
Scott's Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their
food. Do not fail to try it if
your children do not thrive.
It is as useful for them in
summer as in winter.

THE SHIPS RUDDER.

Hts Two Parts and the Difference In the
Strain That Comes Upon Them.
The rudder of wooden ship is COM
posed of the stalk. and the backing,
which are SO joined together as to form
in effect single piece. The complete
rudder is coppered, to protect it from
worms, and then. besides being practi-
Gally all in one piece, it has that ap-
pearan6e also.
The stalk is the part to which are at
tached the pintles, or piyots, by which
the rudder is suspended and held in
place, these going through eyes set in
the ships sternpost. The stalk runs up
through the stern of the ship, and to
its head is bolted asoap to which are at
taohed the ropes by means of which the
rudder is controlled. The backing is the
blade part of the rudder.
By far the greater strain comes on
the stalk, and the greatest strain of all
comes on the head of the stalk, the
rudder head, where it is held. The
stalk is made of the wood most likely
to stand the strain, carefully selected,
sound, we'll seasoned oak, while the
backing is made of spruce or hard pine.
The stalk is Of single, solid, massive
piece, stout as an oak tree and indeed
of the dimensions of small oak,
something that a man can pin his faith
to, if he can have faith in any wood.
while the backing or blade is, like
many modern wooden masts, built up.
It would be difficult if not impossible
to find trees that would yield planks
big enough for the purpose in single
piece, and the built up backing, made
of pieces of selected wood, can easily be-
made of ample strength to Withstand
any strain that will be brought upon it.
AS to the stalk, stout and solid as the
oak may be, the head may be twisted
by the force of tremendous blow from
wave upon the rudder, or, under the
repeated strains of long use, the head
may split, and SO make the stalk use-
less. Then the rudder is taken out and
fitted with new stalk. A suitable stick
ia selected and worked down to the
proper size and form, and very probably
the old backing is attached to it. The
life of rudder> stalk would probably
be 10 to ID years. The backing might
last as long as the ship. York

The Woman I'm white.

Here is one of Nugent Robinson q
"reminiscences of Wilkie Collins: 81
was walking one day toward Hampstead
heath with Wilkie Collins. It was rain
ing. Wilkie carried his white umbrella.
Presently we sighted near a hedge a
very pretty woman dressed in white and
accompanied by child. Wilkie stepped
up to her and proffered his. umbrella.
She promptly accepted it, and I said to
him as she disappeared, That's the last
you'll seeof it. He laughed and insist
ed that it would be all right. He lived
in Wampole street and had given the
young woman his address. Well, time
went by until one day we two were
again strOlling, this time in Piccadilly.
Suddenly hanson was halted along
side of US SO quickly that the horse waG
drawn back on his launches and thas
same woman leaned out and handed
Wilkie his umbrella. I Idiscreetly walked
on. That was the original Of The Wo-

William Carstalrs. the Scotch divine
who for ~ years served William Ill as
confidential secretary and adviser in
chief, had been implicated in the Rye
House lot, conspiracy to assassinate
Charles II and place Monmouth on the
throne He was put to the excruciating
torture of the thumbkins, or thumb
screws which he endured heroically,
without cCnfessing or duplicating 9TH
ers.
After Carstairs became the private
adviser of William he was presented
with the instrument by which he had
been tortured The king, wishing to see
the measure of fortltude necessary to
endure the terrible torture without
making confession of some sort, placed
his thumbs in the machine and told
Carstairs to turn the screw. He turned
slowly and cautiously.
st is unpleasant, said King Will
liam, yet it might be endured. You
are trifiing with me- Turn the screw
SO that | may really feel pain similar
to that you felt.
Carstairs turned the screw sharply.
The king cried out, and when released
said that under such pain he would
have confessed TO anything, true Oh
false.

to open disused we'll near and try the

Instructions were given to the men to
be careful on opening the well, as it
might be unsafe to descend ON account
Of foul air.
They were told to light a candle and
let it down, and if it continued to burn
they would then know that there was
no danger in descending.

was safe to go down, one of the men
replied: Eyes, that's safe enough. /

COLOR IN FLAGS.
Red Predominates Largely In the Stand

Though the policy of military au-
thorities in using less glaring colors in
uniforms has been very marked of late
years red remains the most popular col
or for national standards. OF 25 coun-
tries 19 have flags with red in them,
the list including the United States,
England, France, Germany, Austria,
Italy, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Swe-
den, Switzerland, Turkey, Mexico,
Chile, Portugal, Venezuela and Cuba.
The countries which have blue as an
element of their flags are the United
States, Russia, France, England, Hol-
land, Ecuador, Sweden, Chile, Ven
ezuela, Portugal and Cuba. Three coun-
tries have black as one of the elements
Of their flags, Germany, Belgium and
China, but Germany is the only one of
three which has black and white to-
gether.
There are five countries Excluding
from consideration Ireland, the familiar
flag of which is not officially recognized
among the national standards) which
have green as color; Brazil, the flag
of which is green chiefly; Mexico,
Egypt, Italy and Persia There are nine
countries in which the flag is partly of
yellow. These countries are Austria,
Spain, Belgium, Egypt, Sweden, China,
Persia, Brazil and Venezuela. Countries
with flags partly white are the United
States, France, Germany, Russia, Aus
tria and Italy, six of the seven chief
powers.
There is no white in the national
standard of England, but the British
naval flag has a white background.
Other countries having white in their
flags are Switzerland, Turkey, Persia,
Japan, Mexico, Holland, Denmark, Por-
