NENDELssoHN AND VICTORIA.
The Great Musical Composer and
the Queen of Great Britain.

The Great Musical Composer and
the Queen of Great Britain.
I.iterarary Digest.
AS is we'll known, MendelSsobn was
great favorite OF Queen Victoria and the
prince consort, and during his visit 10
London was frequently their guest, play
ing for them and accompanying the
queen, who possessed good voice, and
often would sing for him. In fragments
of ali Autobiography" recently published
by Felix Moscheles, son of the great pi-
arist, and a godson of Mendelssohn, a
pleasing anecdote of the composer and
his association with her majesty is told.
1t was in 1S47, the year of his death, that
Mendelssohn had once more, as in 1872,
been making music with the queen, and
had been genuinely delighted to hear
her rendering of his songs. AS he was
about to leave she said:
''Now, Dr. Mendelssohn, you have given
me so much pleasure, Is there nothing |
can do to give you pleasureY
He answered that he was more than
amply rewarded by her majestyS gra-
cious reception, and by what would be
lasting remembrance of the interest she
had shown in his music, but when she in
sisted he said:
''WeIl, to speak the truth, I have q
wish, and one that only your majesty
can grant"
at is granted she interposcd.
And then he told her that nothing could
give him greater pleasure than to see the
nurseries and all the domestic arrange
ments connected with the royal children.
The most consummate courier could not
have expressed q wish better calculated
to please the queen. She most cordially
responded and herself conducted him
through the nurseries. Nor was the mat
ter treated lightly. She had to show him
the contents of the wardrobes and-give
him particulars of the service, and for
the time being the two were not in the
relative position of gracious sovereign
and obedient servant, but rather an en-
perienced materfamilias and all e3lighten-
ed paterfamilias, comparing notes. and
giving each other points on the manage
ment of their respective children.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 1.-THE officials

He offered His very life. You can only

In learned paper on the subject of
convergent strabismus by Prof. Priestly
Smith, which constituted the last Bow

strabisnus is often attributed to a fit

and still more often to an illness, such
as whooping cough or measles. Maxim 8
allowance for the frequency OF such
events among children and for certain
disregard of time and sequence In their
elders it seems to me, says Prof. Smith,
highly probable that these supposed
causes are very often real causes. Some
such explanation of the onset was given.

Superiority Lies in It's Being Made
on Bright, Sunny Days.
Washington Star.
In speaking to the writer about the ia
vorable influence that tine weather has
upon the production Of bright and deli
cately shaded dyes and colorS a famous
English manufacturer of carmine recently
said:
Some years ago was aware OF the su-
perority of the French carmine, and. be-
ing anxious to improve upon my own pro-
cess, 1 went to Lyons and bargained with
the most celebrated manufactures In that
city for the acquisition of his secret, for
which L was to Pay $1,000.
well l was shown all the process and
saw a most beautiful color produced, but
1 noticed that there was not the least diff
ference in the French mode of fabrication
and that which l had constantly adopted
myself. l thereupon appealed to my in
st1uctor and insisted that he must have
kept some secret concealed. The man as
slued me he had not and asked me to in
spect the process a second time I ac-
cepted the invitation, and after I had mi
nutely examined the water and the mate
rials, which were in every respect similar
to nv own, l still felt so much In the
dark that I said: I have lost both my
IolDOI anu IIlOH6y. 1OI the dir OF

Stay said the Frenchman, don't de-
ceive yourself. What kind of weather is
it now?

Were I to attempt to manufacture it OH
a dark and cloudy day my results would

my friend, only to make your carmine on

THE moral Of this" continued the Eng

New York Mail and Express
Did you ever have big piece of pure
luck when you really needed it badly?'
said one who is at present a high railroad
official. Il did once, and never again. ii
happened in Denver in 1882 1 was broke
L had just come out of the hospital after
g. long tussle with pneumonia and l was
unable to do manual labor, which was
the only thing 1 could find. One after
noon, when things were at their very
worst, 1 was sitting in the old Charpiot
hotel and overheard two men talking very
secretly about big strike in some mine.
I inferred from their conversation that
it was somewhere in the San Juan dis
trict but they didn't mention the exact
location or the name of the property.
when they went out 1 noticed tiny
piece of ore laying on one of the chairs,
where it had evidently beeen dropped
while they were examining some speci-
mems. 1t was brown quartz, literally full
of gold 1t was ore that made a fellow S
heart jump just to look at it, and while
1 was turning it between my fingers it all
of a sudden flashed into my mind that it
must have come from the Lady Alice.
They had taken stuff from it once, but
the vein had 'pinched out and the prop
erty was supposed to be N. G. Its stock
had dropped to nothing.
"Of course, 1T was only q guess" con-
tinued the speaker, and there were sew
eral hundred chances that it wasn't the
Alice at all. I did some quick thinking
There was a banker up town who owned
a lot of Alice stock, and in two min
utes I was on my way to his office.
Look here says I, when I finally got
into his den, I have information worth
a lot of mony to you what is it worth
to me?' Not a cent down. says he,
promptly, but 10 per cent if 1 get it. I
handed him the piece of ore; it was about
as big as the end of my thumb They've
struck that in the Lady Alice says L
ITO my surprise he turned pale as death
and yelled for clerk. Run after Smith!
he bawled, and bring him back with that
stock! Smith, it turned out, was the
messenger, and he was then on his way
to deliver a bundle of Alice stock for
which the banker had just been offered a
couple of hundred dollars. He had thought
it a good trade until he saw my ore.
Smith came back and the banker tried
his best to pump me, but I wouldn't tell
him any more. If he had known I was
only guessing he would have kicked me
out, but the fates were with me- The
next day the news of the discovery got to
the public; it was Alice, sure enough,
and the stock went scooting skyward.
Meanwhile the fellows in on the secret
had bought up all they could. My banker
scooped in a big pot of money and 1 got
$500 for my share"

Our Bridge Builders in Africa.

Between Khartoum and Alexandria
the Nile flows for ], ZOO miles, and in all
that distance it receives only one tri-
butary, the Atbara, which comes from
the Abyssinian highlands. In building
the railroad from the lower Nile to
Khartoum, hundreds of miles along the
right bank of the river, it is necessary
therefore to erect only one bridge.
This bridge will be an iron and steel
structure over a quarter of mile in
length, and q Pennsylvania firm of
bridge builders are now turning out
the material which will be shipped to
Egypt and transported up the Nile to
the banks of the Atbara. The force of
Philadelphia artisans who will erect
the bridge sailed for Egypt last week
and hope to have the foundations ready
for the superstructure by the:timesit ar
rives.
The British government is having
the bridge built in America because
there is pressing need for it to obviate
considerable delay in the completion of
the railroad, and we can turn it out
more quickly than British builders
would agree to do. The prodigious
work of developing Africa will require
many bridges and great deal of ma
chinery. and our builders and manu-
facturers are perfectly able to compete
with the rest of the world
for the supply of many OF these pro-
ducts
