1t was rough on the musicians. At
one time there was sort of amateur
musical organization which was often
heard in public. The members had lots
of girl friends, and We're constantly in
demand on various festival occasions.
To the truly enthusiastic lover of mll.
sic their efforts were inueed efforts,
for time. precision. shading every.
thing was sacrificed to loudness. They
were going to be heard if they sang
off the tops of their heads. Some un.
kind sinner once said they sounded
exactly like the woOllen mills up on
Green street. Now, it happened that
one evening good women gave a
sort of church strawberry festival or
something at her home. and she got
the club to furnish the music. Just
before the guests arrived a Louisville
professor of music dropped in and
was shown over the rooms by the
kindly hostess. Here" she said point
ing to a bower of greenery in the hall,
'the musicians will be. The young
men of the Blank club are going to
play. Don't you think II good idea
to have them concealed behind these
pOtted plants?"
IAN excellent and kindly one, ma
DAM replied the professor. II would
not only have these pOtted plants, but
barbed wire fence, too"
When the joke got out it simply
killed the clubs. and you would have
to put blinkers on them to get them
past potted plant.-Louisville (Ky.)

MucOu, Lining and Music,

It's mean to tell this joke, but 1t i4
too good to keep. A popular society
matron has daughter who has a beau
tiul voice and is very pretty girl.
She has never taken singing lessons,
and some Of the singers have been
consulted by her as regards their
terms. One of these instructors has
talked lot to the mother about Civ
ing her girl lessons. and assured her
that he was the fellow to develop that
voice until it would BE- a peach" ;"
He argued the matter over and over
again every time he saw the lady and
finally she said: Il wish my daughter
to learn to sing Professor High Notes
but she is not well. She is suffering
constantly from a sort of indiges-
ton and don't think she feels we'll
enough to take the lessons"
Pooh, pooh. my dear madam" re-
piled the professor. Nonsense! With
my teaching and ten cents worth of
cream of tartar she will be cured at
once"
And yet that obstinate mamma has
not struck the trade. Maybe the
daughter has objected to the ten
cents worth of cream of tartar. -

The weather bureau at Washington
last night issued the following:
The hot wave which has prevailed
over New England, the middle Atlantic
states, the lake region. he Ohio valley
and the Central west ana northwest.
continued Tuesday. although temporary
relief was afforded during he afternoon
by numerous llunirrSturnS in New
England and the middle Atlantic states
ana at Chicago and st. Louis. At
Philadelphia II maximum temperature
Of lO2 degrees was again reached: mt
Washington ii was 100; at New York
city 0S; at Boston, NJ; at Albany. 1S;
at Scranton. 9S; at 81. Louis, !H: at
Louisville. 0G. and mt Alprna. Mich, D1
Maximum temperatures above 30 also
occurred in the cNlrelnr western states.
AS yet this warm wave has not
cunallcd in duration those of 1881 and
1000 except in New York city. Neither
have the extreme temperatures of the
present wave yet exceeded ,le previous
highest record. although they were
nearly equal to them.
The eastward movement of another
low pressure area in the extreme wrSr
renders it improbable that there will
be any long continued relief from the
high temperatures over districts now
affected, but il is now probable they will
reach the previous extreme in the Allan
tic states on account of the influence oi

which appears to be moving northwest
