Piccini wrote 153 operas, a number of
oratorios, S2 masses and an immense
quantity of other music for the church
and stage.
Meyerbeer could sing popular melodies

Mozart was small and slight His face
was very thin and pale, and his nose,
always prominent, became much more
so from the extreme emaciation of his
later years.
Haydn was fond of initiating animal
sounds in his symphonies In these COM

There was not a gas pipe, net a gas
jet in the world, nor even an Argaad
lamp; and coal oil, procured in very small
quantities, was sold in little vials as a
specific for rheumatism. The poor used a
rush light, made by dipping dried
rush into the most convenient sort of
fat or grease; the middle classes used
candies of tallow; the rich burned sperm
or wax. Our greatgrandfathers had no
coal Nor were they fortunate enough
to possess matches. When the fire acci-

criticised for lack of unity and careless
arrangement of its abundant matter;

it an irresistible fascination The CEN

pose the story is Jean Vatican, Il simple
Woodworking peasant who, stealing a
loaf of bread for his sisters starving
children, Is arrested and condemned to
the galleys for five years, punishment
heightened to nineteen years by his at
tempts to escape. Cruelty and priva-
tion render him inert and british; and
on his release the convict hegs in vain,
till the bishop of D takes him in and
gives him food and shelter The aged
bishop is a saint, shaping his life to lit

but in return for his kindness ValJean
steals his silver and escapes in the night.
When the police bring the culprit
back, the bishop saves him by declaring
that the silver had been free gift to
him. Touched to the heart, Vatican
henceforth believes in goodness and
makes 1t his law. His future life is a
series of self-sacrifices, resulting in
moral growth. He becomes in time a
rich manufacturer, mayor of his town,
and a noted philanthropist. Among 9TH
ler good deeds, he befriends Fantine,
grisette, abandoned by her lover and
forced into a life of degradation to sup
port her child. Famine dies just as
Vatican is arrested by Javert, an i'm
placable detective, who has recognized
the ex-cOnvict. Vatican temporarily
evades him, but wherever he goes, Javert
ferrets him out. Finally, to save another
man mistaken for him, Vatican sur
renders himself and is returned
to the galleys. He escapes, and
rescues Fantine's child little Cosette,
from the cruel Thenardiers, sordid inn
keepers to whom her mother had in
trusted her. She grows up beautiful,
loving girl, the solace of his life, and for
her sake he accomplishes his supreme
sacrifice. Marius, a wrathy young man,

CAUSED BY JOY

1t is hardly necessary to indicate the
common opinien that laughter is caused
by joy. But it is evident that joy does
not always excite it-there are grave
joys. It Is also plain that people often
laugh without being joyous Without
doubt, joy disposes to laughter, but it
does not produce it. One Of the most
common opinions is, that 1t is caused
by the unusual. the odd. by that which
is not in accord with our habits of mind;
by something which breaks the familiar
course of things. This is the theory
adopted by Darwin. We shall admit
at once that whatever is odd is often lu,
dicrous. We will go further and saw
that, doubtless, there is not word, an
act, situation, an attitude, which Is
. truly laughable which is not unusual.
But 1t is equally true that the unusual
does not always cause laughter. There
are events contrary to the normal order
which are the very opposite of anus
