1cHfi WleHldWSkl, the famous vfOl1ntSt,
whom some older readers may remember
having heard in this country, while maxi
Ing concert tour OF Russia with his
brother Josef. a noted piano player. had
some peculiar experiences.
The two brothers were to play in a large
town in the interior and wished to see
the hall In which the concert would take
place. They were conducted through
mud and snow to a large plank hut,
which had been used for circus. ana
on entering found nothing but bare wallis
And is that where we are to play?"
asked the brothers. There are neither
benches nor Seats
"Oh. that makes no difference" replied
the marshal. with us everyone brings
his own seat"
YES" answered the musicians, but
what about lights? There is not lamp
in the room'
That's nothing. either" replied their
companion. with us everyone brings his
own lantern"
Having learned the simple manners OF
the country. the musicians asked how
the concert was TO be advertised.
'Oh, that's easily arranged answered
the marshal. Its true we have no
printing press, but I will have a servant
write the announcement In large letters
on the door. and 1t will spread through
the town fast enough
A man soon appeared with a pound
OF chalk and began writing on the pIan,x
door. The brothers were somewhat de-
jected. but the marshal assured them
that everything would be satisfactory.
Toward evening all the inhabitants were
seen Rocking to the place of performance,
each carrying In one hand seat and
Tn the other a lantern. The house was
crowded to overlooking. The mother of
the performers was present, and. seeing
the rain ard snow dropping through the
roof on Henri while he played, she was
greatly disturbed.
Ny poor sonl He will take his death
OF cold!' she murmured half aloud.
rs that your son, little MOTHER" asked
kindly old man sitting near her. and
rising, he shouted to the young violinist
Put your fur coat on.'' Then turning to
the audience he said: His mother. who
is sitting near me, fears he will take
cold"
Other voices at once repeated the conn
mand: Put on your fur coat! Put ON
your fur coatr'
Henri paused and thanked them for
their permission. but added that he could
not play In n fur coat. That makes
no differencer' cried the whole audience.

The most unique. If not the most inter-

gramme offered the members of the

their stay here was the Rev John Jas

known sermon to the strangers. Jasper's
church. which is in the very heart of
Jackson, the great negro ward of the
city, was well filled this morning with
bankers and their fashionably dressed
wives and daughters. The audience was
brilliant one

sion he did when he began delivering this
sermon twenty years ago He is feeble,
and fails to punctuate his droll talk on
the question of THE Sun Do Move'' with
the fervor and deep earnestness he did
in other days. The audience, though,
most OF whom were Western ard North
ern people, enjoyed the occasion and lis
tened with attention to the hours sermon.
Most OF Jaspers listeners had heard or
read of him and his peculiar theories,
and were there prepared to hear patiently
the droll arguments with which the aged
preacher enforces his points.

The subject of forestry IS. happily. one
which is beginning to assume much prom

Bruncloens North American Forests and
Forestry" It is really a fascinating book,
and full of information upon a subject
about which we can no longer afford to
be ignorant Forestry as a practical sci
ence in this country has come to stay.
The author first shows the organic ma
ture of the forest. THE manner in which
the various trees are associated in the
wilderness is not the result OF accident,
but determined by complex and very def
mite laws. II one had n perfect knowl-
edge of those laws, he could predict with
absolute certainty the number, species and
character OF the trees to be found in any
given locality" e.
Further, the forest Is not only an organ
ism but an individual 1t grows and de-
veiops as human entities do.
The writer considers at some length the
three main subdivisions Of the American
forest, and outlines the struggle for exist
