Liszt called on the master by the ad-
vice of his friends. So as not to in
terfere with LISTS time he made his
visit at 7:3O a. m, and explained his
errand to the old servant, who re-
marked that it was rather early. Liszt
overheard the colloquy from the head
CT the stairs, and demanded Of the ser
want who was there. Hearing that the
caller was a poor artist, the great mu-
sician ran downstairs to the gate in

TEACHERS FROM CUBA,
One Thousand of Them to Take Sum-
mer CourHe.

One Thousand of Them to Take Sum-
msr Course.
Upon the arrival here of Alexis f.
Frye, superintendent of schools in
Cuba, who now is on his way to Bos-
ton, plans will be completed for the
coming here Of 1000 Cuban school
teachers for a summer course of in
struction at Harvard college, says the
Boston Transcript. The project Is a
novel one and is greatly favored by
President Eliot. who, when Mr.. Frye
arrives, will cooperate heartily with
him in bringing the matter to q sue
cessful issue. President Eliot finds
that one possible obstacle which had
been considered can be readily over
come. and that is finding enough in
structors at Cambridge competent to
the courses which may be arranged,
for 1t is doubted If many Of the thou
sand teachers to come will be able to
understand English well enough to un-
dertake the varied studies in the Eng
ltsh language. 1t Is probable that
some proportion Of the Cuban teachers
will understand English, even though
they may not be able to speak it, but
just what this proportion is can be
learned only when Mr. Frye reaches
here. Some OF the visitors may be able
to take the usual prescribed summer
courses, while for the majority there
will be arranged special courses within
their ability to benefit therefrom, han
dicapped as they may be in the matter
Of language. President Eliot, in speak
ing today of the plan, said that it
should be productive Of much good,
and If the suggestion can be carried out
successfully SO that the teachers visit
the principal cities of the United States
from the east to the far west while in
this country, also visiting many uni
versities, the teachers are sure to re-
turn to their native country with many
advantages gained from study and OBJ
servation of educational. social and
other conditions Of this country.

Held Resormer to His Word.

When beggar asked Philadelphia
stationer the other day for help the
latter offered him two lead pencils,
saying: with half the effort required
in begging you can easily sell these for
five cents apiece" The beggar gazed
at the pencils scornfully. Who'd give
me five.cents for them?" he demanded.
why, anybody" said the stationer.
Go out and try it." Would you?"
asked the beggar. Why, certainly"
was the reply. A smile of triumph
spread over the grimy features Of the
mendicant. Here you are, then" he
said. Gimme the 10 cents You can't
go back on your own word" 1t took
the stationer several minutes to re-
cover his breath, but he finally entered
into the deal. and hereafter he will
adopt other tnetcs.-Hartford Times.

FISHING IN POLYNESIA.
Natives Catch the Finny Tribes with
Wooden Flshhooka


A party of palu fishers are ready to
set out from the little island of Nano-
maga, the smallest, but most thickly
populated of the Ellice group, says
Chambers Journal. The night must
be windless and moonless, the latter
condition being absolutely indispens-
able, although, curiously enough, the
fish will take the hook on an ordinary
starlight night. Time after time have
tried my luck with either growing
or waning moon, much to the amuse-
ment of the natives, and never once
did l get a palu, although other noe
turnal feeding fish bit freely enough,
notably monstrous species of sea
perch, called laheu. The tackle used
by the natives is made of cocoanut
sennit, four or eight stranded, of great
strength, and capable of holding a If
teen-foot shark, should one of these
prowlers seize the bait. The hook is
made of wood-in fact, the same as is
used for shark fishing-about one inch
and half in diameter, fourteen inches
in the shank, with natural curve, the
barb, or rather that which answers
the purpose of barb, being supplied
by a small piece lashed horizontally
across the top Of the end of the curve.
