L,iszt,s Feat of Memory.

In the Century. William Mason, the
veteran American musician, tells Of
a remarkable feat Of memory per-
formed by the composer Liszt;
My friend knew List very well and
having taken a fancy to composition
of mine, lies Perles de Rosee," which
was still in manuscript, he said: Let
me have it for publication. Dedicate
it to List. can easily get List y ac-
cept the dedication. l am going di-
rectly from here to Weimar, and will
see him about it, At the same time,
l will prepare the way for you. re-

Not long afterward | received let
ter from my friend in which he told
me that when he handed the music
to Liszt the latter looked at the man
usUipt, hummed it over, then sat
down, and played it from memory.
Then, going to his desk, he took pen,
and accepted the dedication by writ
ing his name at the top Of the title
page. Encouraged by this, wrote n
letter to Liszt, expressing my desire
to become one of his pupils and ask.
ing what my chances were. Unfor-
tunately, l misinterpreted his reply
and recei-ed the impression that ii
amounted to q refusal; but at the
same time he gave me a cordial invi.

A BRAVE BIRD.

TRUE CourRge Not Incompatible with

suppose a bird is the bravest crea-
ture that lives, in spite Of its natural

that true courage is not incompatible

sheep in Spain.

IN Spain there are some ten million
OF migratory sheep, which every year
travel as much as two hundred miles
from the "delectable mountains,
where the shepherds feed them til
the SHOWS descend These sheep are
known as transhumantes, and their
march. resting places and behavior are
regulated by ancient and special laws
and tribunals, dating from the four
teenth century. At certain times no
one is allowed to travel on the same
route as the sheep which have right
to Craze on all open and common land
on the way, and for which road nine.
ty yards wide must be left on all in
closed and private property. The shep
herds lead the f1ocks, the sheep follow
and the flocks are accompanied by
mules carrying provisions, and large
dogs which act as guards against the
wolves. The merno sheep trave.
four hundred miles to the mountains.
and the total time spent on migration
there and back is fourteen weeks

AWFUL FAMINE
That Is Now Making of India One Vast
Charnel Pen.

That Is Now Maldng of India One Vast
Charnel Pen.
The famine area in India is about
$4,000 square miles, and extends over
the central south and northwestern
provinces, says Lesle's Weekly. No
pen could describe it's awful horrors.
Some of the things proved by pho
Biography are too realistically horrible
to be reproduced in any publication,
and we print only few of
the less frightful photographs
taken by the missionaries, because
many have not believed that such an
awful condition could exist in this cen
tury of plenty and prosperity. Ema-
ciated beyond belief, the starving ma
tives crawl to the house Of the nearest
sahib, usually missionary, to crave
food; but $4,000 mouths have to be fed.
Fifteen dollars year will feed a Hin
du, yet even this pitiable allowance
is not to be had. The causes Of the
famine are the failure of the crops, the
refusal of the native princes to allow
their hunting jungles to be converted
into fertile agricultural regions, and
the mysterious disappearance of spe-
cial famine fund of $100000,00 col
lected by the government after the fa-
mine of 1877. The Hindu is strict
vegetarian. The low-caste Hindu is a
fatalist. So, when famine stalks abroad
the Hindu submits uncomplainingly
Dav nv day he will subsist on less food
until at last, when a mere shadow, he
will drag his bony self to a relief sta
ton. There he may get food-or he
may not. If not, he crouches in some
corner, or out in the fields under Gods
trees, and awaits the coming of death.
The majority Of the victims are women
and children.

The age Of Birds.

Mr.. ]. H. Gurney, in an article in
the Ibis, discusses a number of facts
collected from various books and pa
pers, regarding the age to which birds
live. Mr.. Dresser, in his Birds OF
Europe" gives an, instance of a raven
having lived siNty-nine years. Mr.
Meade-Waldo has in captivity a pair OF
eagle owls, one of which is sixty-eight
and the other fifty-three years old.
Since 1864 these birds have bred regu-
larly and have now reared ninety
three young ones. A Batelur eagle and
a condor in the geological gardens at
Amsterdam are still alive at the re-
spective ages of ffty-hve and ffty-two.
An imperial eagle of the age of fifty
six, a golden eagle of forty-six and a
sea eagle Of forty-two, and many other
birds Of the age Of forty downward
are also recorded.

FOR MALARIA,
CHILLS AND fever.
The Best Prescription Is Groves
Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The Formula Is Plainly Printed on Every Bottles
So That the People May Know just
What They Are Taking.

Imitators do not advertise their formula
knowing that you would not buy their medi-
cine if you knew what it contained. Groves
contains Iron and Quinine put up in correct
proportions and is in Ta8teless form. The
Iron acts as a tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "TaSte-
less" chill tonics are limitations. An analysis
of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are
not experimenting when you take Grove's-its
