One of ,1ozart.s outbreaLs.

A1SZart, being once ON q visit at Mar
settles, went incognito to hear the per-
Torrance of his '.ViIlanella Rapita."
He had reason to be tolerably we'll
satisfied, till, in the midst of the prin-
cipal aria, the orchestra, through some
error in the copying of the score,
sounded u natural where the COM
poser had written d sharp. This sub
stitution did not injure the harmony,
but gave 4 commonplace character to
the phrase, and obscured the sentiment
of the composer.
Mozart no sooner heard it than he
started up vehemently, and, from the
middle of the pit, cried out in a voice
Of thunder: "Win you play ID sharp,
you wretchesF
The sensation produced in the theater
may be magined. The actors We're
astounded. the lady who was singing
stopped short, the orchestra followed
her example, and the audience, with
loud ordinations, demanded the ex-
pulsion of the offender. He was ac-
cordingly seized, and required to name
himself. He did so, and at the name
of Mozart the clamor subsidized, and
was succeeded by shouts of applause
from all sides.
1t was insisted that the opera should
be recommended. Mozart was install
ed in the orchestra, and directed the
whole performance. This time the d
sharp was played in its proper place,
and the musicians themselves were
surprised at the superior effect pro-
duced. After the opera Mozart was
conducted in triumph to his hotel.

No see

Once in awhile there is n princess
from whose lips plain words fall more
readily than precious stones. One such,
the wife Of one Of London's leading
editors, figures in the Personal Recol-
lections" Of II. Sutherland Edwards.
The editor had occasion to present q
distinguished gentleman to his wife.
He spoke as n husband, but he was not
far wrong when he said. Allow me to
introduce you to the most charming
woman in Europe"
Don't be a fool. Samr' said the lady,
as she extended her hand.

SHE HAS A NEW VALISE.
why She Bought II and Why, Also,
She VIII Not Lend IL.

4 Portland woman tells this story,
which may have a moral:
Several years ago her husband made
her a present OF Il travelling bag made
OF black Russia leather. handsomely
mounted and strong and scrviceablc.
She had had il only u few days when
the sister-in-law of her boarding mis-
tress borrowed it TO take with her to
the White mountains. IL looked so
much nicer than her own was her
apology. 1t had only been returned
a few days when n friend who was
going TO take a little journey up
among the hills of oxford county beg
ged the loan of it. and again io was
taken down from the upper shelf"
Then another friend was to make Il
visit of a few weeks in Montreal.
Could she take it? She could and did.
BY this time the new look had van
ished. and still its owner had had no
occasion TO carry IL.
One evening favOrite cousin called.
lie was captain of a brig which was
TO sail for the coast OF Africa the next
day, but he himself was going on n
steamer via England. Did his cousin
have n valise she wouldn't need for
six months or so: Reluctantly the
travelling bag was produced. and that
was the last time the lady saw Il for
two years, when IL reached her by the
hand OF sailor from the brig. But II
was in such a battered and forlorn
condition that she consigned it to the
waste barrel.
In the meantime she had bought
new vaIfSe. which she declined to lend.

Why Not Hot Breads.

When one considers the fact that other
cooked foods are considered more beneficial
when eaten warm than cold, the theory
that hot breads are gnwholesome makes
some one seek an explanation. The rea-
son that hot breads contain a certain
amount of moisture should not interfere
with their hdalthful digestion, all other
conditions being favorable. Employing
good materials, especially flour. yeast and
baking powder, and subject them to the
proper process of mixing and baking. and
why should the bread not be as wholesome
fresh from the oven as other starchy foods
that are cooked with the intelligent knowl
edge of how to convert raw material into
prODer food substances?

The Helpful Man.

The man who loses his head was in
church the other day, and a girl neal
him had tainted. The church was very
close, and he realized that the best
thing to do was to take her out, and as
he was helpful man, always going to
the assistance of those in need, lie pro-
posed to carry her himself. But in
these days women do not faint often
enough to keep men in practice carry
ing them out of churches or theaters,
and this man was very much excited
The girl had tainted just as a hymn
was being sung, and the man had a
hymn book in his hand, which if it re-
manned there would make him less able
to render his deed of mercy, so the first
thing to do, he realized, was to get rid
of the hymn book.
Wont some one take my hymn
book?' he cried excitedly. "Some one
take this hymn book" he called again
with Vehemence. But no one volun
teered, and it was not until another
man had taken the girl out that be
realized that he might have dropped
that hymn book On the seat himself
