then Professor said. Yes he has the

royal pianist gives his only concert on

will give his second concert on the 20th-
But of all music of the year that in
which the favored few take the most
interest. is the class lesson at Profess
sor LeschetiZky's home. The program
generally consists of one or two con-
certs and solo pieces by Brahms Chop
in Beethoven and Schumann.
Professor although quite old and
white headed yet is a very strong jolly
and even very sarcastic man. All the
punishment he needs to give is only
one of his sarcastic sentences. The
most of the young ladies go away cry
ing. Professor says he has not much
patience with pretty young ladies be-
cause they will soon marry but with
men he is very earnest as it is a matter
of meat and bread with them. / suppose
the most promising pupil of Professor
beside Mark Hamburg is Miss Bertha
jain of whom you sent me the article
in the Etude. She played the Grieg con-
certo at last class and certainly did 1T
well. Professor says the best pupil he
ever had was Paderewski because he
did only what he advised him to do. 1t
is comical to hear him tell of how
Paderewski decided to study CZerney
Etudes alone for six months and how
pleased he was.
Each day Professor can be seen on
his usual walk from Wahring cottage.

Vienna. Austria, Feb. II. 1901.
Ny Dear Mother-Your sweet letter
and the paper were received yesterday.
OF course you know Vienna is the
musical center of the world with also
the finest opera house. The emperor
has obtained the services of Gustav
Mailer who is the best Wegner con-
ductor, so you can imagine it is fine.
do not mention the singers as that is
understood they could not sing in the
Royal opera house if they were not
the best. The size of the stage and
scenery make it possible to reproduce
everything so naturally that when
looking on a mountain, river or any
thing else for that matter. presented
you can hardly believe that it is not
real. There is only one operetta given
in the Grand opera house and that is
F'ledermaus. An exception is made of
this because Strauss was so beloved
in Vienna and this is his most beauti-
full work, so of course il must be given
the very best production. Fledermaus
is quite pretty but the second act is
by far the most beautiful. This is a
grand ball scene and really it is grand.

when HerrIngs Were Plenty.

In former days herring were so
abundant In Newfoundland waters
that the most Wanton slaughter Of
them was permitted without any re-
striction whatever. Seines were al
lowed to retain /, 900 or 1000 barrels Of
the fish until they perished, and then
the net was freed and the whole con-
tents fell to the bottom to pollute the
ocean for miles around. When a
poaching smack was captured the
herring it had on board were all
thrown into the sea, and frequently
boats when chased resorted to the
same means to get rid Of discriminating
evidence. The fish then fetched only
fifty cents a barrel OF 500 herring, or
10 for a cent; they sell now in Ameri-
can cities sometimes for five cents the
single fish. Such Wanton waste gradu-
ally had its effect, and now the colo
NAL fishing laws safeguard the indus
try more Vigilant1y and fishermen Of
all classes know better how to htls-
band their resources in this connec-

twice that, and the smuggIer who

GOLD OF DEAD Rive RS.

Among the remarkable geological
features Of California are the gravelly
channels of ancient streams, known
to miners as dead rivers, which often
contain gold in paying quantities. The
rivers ran generally from north to
south, and some have left beds more
than two miles in width. Some of
them after their waters had disappear

SMALL HORSES FOR WAR.
Day OF Heavy Cavalry On Big Chargers

~ aaaA'osessy SsatseAry u BIG Ghafger1
is Over.
The recent experience In South
Africa proved to the intelligent Eng
Hsh mind that the day of heavy
cavalry mounted on sixteen-hand
chargers was almost as much over as
that thai OF the knights of Agincourt
have myself more than once diseoursed
upon this very theme, and insisted on
the necessity of producing a war horse
capable Of more durable service on
worse rations than any now bred In
England, advocating, too, precisely Sir
Walters plan of breeding from Arab
s1res- Nevertheless, the pronounce
nlent of SO high an authority on horse
matters as is Sir Walter Gilbey is an
event of Importance, for there is no
body the English public listens to. more
willingly, nor by whom it is more
ready to be convinced The argument
for small horses in war is one capable
Of almost mathematical demonstration
In every campaign horses have neces-
sar1ly to put up with short rations,
often with semi-starvation, and the
horse that can do with the least and
worst food lasts the longest, and the
longest lasting wins. If, then, a small
horse can maintain himself where a
big one staryes, doing equal or nearly
equal work, the small horse is demon
strab1y the better. Apart from artil-
lery and transport, where heavy
draught power will always be needed,
a pony of AZ, if properly bred-it has
been proved in South Africa-Wil do
all the work Of a horse Of Is hands,
and on equal rations (where these are
scanty) will last twice as long. The
small horse, too, is easier managed;
he is less troublesome to mount under
fire and to dismount from on the
march. This last: is no small advan-
tage when men are, weary. The
Bedouins on their raids are constantly
UP and down, on and off their mares,
running beside them half the night,
and SO easing and saving them. The
small horse, too, is a smaller target
to the enemy, is easier hidden in the
folds of the ground, and is easier
slowed on shipboard. He needs less
stout rope to tether him, a scantier
shelter to screen him in rough wealth

YANKEE INGENUITY.

There is apparently no limit to the
Yankees ingenuity in the invention Of
useful and labor-saving devices. Among
the latest useful novelties is one which
will commend itself to all, now that
warm weather is SO near, and the ques-
ton of how to keep cool is so impor-
tant-a simple and perfect fan attach
ment for rocking chairs. This appli-
ance (the invention Of a greatgrand-
son Of the patentee of the common
bucket and tub) is fastened quickly
and neatly to any ordinary rocking
chair, and the natural motion Of the
chair without any additional effort of
the occupant gives a most delightful
and natural breeze.
To the invalid this certainly viii be
