A Musical Prodigy.

Henrietta Scholder, only s years old,
the daughter of humble barber in
New York city, promises to be the
greatest musical prodigy the world has
seen. When she was only years of age,
she began to play of her own accord on
the piano airs she had heard. She now
performs tho most difficult instrumental
pieces without break and is to appear
in concert at once. She took to music
naturally as a young duck takes to swim
ming. Here seems to be child of the
coming race.

The absolute transparency of Words
worth Is nature was often very amusing
to Ibis friends, since it sometimes
brought him to the expression of opin-
ions which seemed Numerically oppos-
ed. Once while he was looking at a
magnificent scene in the lake country
he said to his companion:
.'Travelers often make their boast of
Swiss mountains on the ground that
they are two or three times as high as
the English, but reply that the clouds
lie SO low on them that half of them
commonly remain out of sight, The
other answered, perhaps rather dryly:
s'That is true. -

SAILING.
SOUTH WIND.

Bright skies above us,
White clouds drifting Overt
Blue spr eads the sea, all simmer and hash.
Boom we'll off and lazy helm creaking,
Music of ripples, like kingfsher's plash.
Gurgle and splashi
Chuckles the water,
Silver to windward, sapphire to les.
Sunshine of nature,
Skylights wide open
'Tis pleasure to sail on a summer sea.
DUE WEST.
Filing of wind blasts,
Drumming of halyardsl
Beckons the deep where the green waves run.
Sheets close hauled and helm hard a-weather,
Rainbow shot spray flung aloft in the sun.
Rise, plungel
Dips the bow under
Mount and away on the back of the sea.
Joy of swift motion,
Infinite distance
'Tis rapture TO sail when the winds blow free.
NoRTHEAsT.
Howl of the tempest,
Thunder of breakersi
Foam dashing high on close reefed sail.
Skipping the white crests, leaping the hollows,
Swoop down the wind like gull in the gale.
Roll, roll!
Rush the seas after.
Flashes the beacon as homeward we go.
Thrill Of the elements,
Soul self assertive-
'Tis passion to sail when the storm winds blow.

As Rule Her Truest Interpreters in
Art Are the Women Painters.
Ito be Continued.)

As a Rule Her Trucst Interpreter. in
Art Are the Women Painters.
About the last literary work COM
pleted by the late Cora Stuart WAseler
was beautiful tribute to Some Court
Painters to Queen Rose" published In
the Woman's Home Companion. in
which she says: "As rule women
make the best flower painters The
men who excel in this branch of art
are comparatively few. even when we
consider the small number OF artists
of both sexes who have acquired repu-
tation in the picturing Of flowers. The
reason is not difficult to see. The ay-
erage woman has fondness for flow
ers which brings her into the closest
sympathy with them, and enables her
to appreciate and understand them AS
men seldom do. In the Interpretation
OF certain subtle phases of floral life
her sensitive temperament and the ne
culiarly sympathetic feeling that she Ia
apt to bring to her labor of love espe-
cially qualify her for engaging In this
department of picture making. In
point of technical ability some marvel
ously clever work has been done by ar
lists of the gentler sex in the reproduc-
tion OF flowers and in the treatment OF
difficult subjects"
