rreatmsut Of Burns.

Rurns may be ordinary, but they lose
none of their smart because of the ease
with which they are acquired. Some
persons seem to have a perfect genius
for getting burned, II they strike a
match, 1t breaks and scorches them,
while visit to the kitchen ends in a
burn from the oven or scald from hot
water OF steam. or course the right
thing to do with burn is to get it
away from all Contact with the air and
to do this with all possible haste.
The necessary articles for the treat
ment should be on hand. and they are
baking soda-not washing soda, notice
fresh fat OF some sort and several
thicknesses OF cotton cloth. 1t is an
excellent plan to have bottle OF car
ron oil ready for such emergencies.
Carron oil Is made by shaking together
equal parts OF linseed oil and limewa-
ter. II the skin Is broken over the
burn, use the oil without the soda.
Otherwise moisten the soda with olive
oil or sweet oil or even lard or cold

An Anecdote of Verdi.

The first production Of Verdrs op-
era "Othello" took place at Milan, and
all the prominent musical critics of Eu-
rope foregathered in the Cathedral
City in honor of the occasion. Among
them was Partisan journalist Of wide
reputation and admitted authority in
the musical world. His first care on
his arrival in Milan was to seek out
Verdi and ask to be allowed to be pres
ent at one of the final rehearsals.
The composer received him with ex-
treme politeness, but replied that he
could not possibly grant his request,
as he had decided that the rehearsals
were to be absolutely private, and he
could not make an exception in the fa-
vor Of any one journalist. however dis
tinguished. "--.'-~-
The Paris critic, far from pleased at
this answer, protested that in these
circumstances his account Of the opera
might not be all he should like it to
be. ''You see," he explained to the
composer, who affected not quite to
understand, 81 shall have to telegraph
my article the same evening. 1t will
necessarily be hastily written, and the
impression in Paris the next day may
suffer in consequence"
But Verdi was more than equal to
the occasion "My dear SIR" he made
answer, II do not write for the next
day" The critic bowed himself out.

The queen ana Jenny Lind.

There Is a pretty story told of Queen
Victoria and Jenny Lind which shows
how the modesty of two women, the
queen of England and the queen Of
song caused momentary awkward
ness which the gentle tact of the singer
overcame.
1t was ON a night when Jenny Lind
was to sing at Her Majesty's Opera
House that the queen made her first
public appearance after the memorable
Chartist day.
For the great artist. too, this was a
first appearance, for 1t was the begins
ming of her season at place where ths'
year before she had won unparalleled
anne. 1t happened that the queen en-
tered the royal box at the same mos
ment that the prima donna stepped up<
on the stage. Instantly tumult of aos
clamation burst forth.
Jenny Lind modestly retired to tho
back of the stage. waiting till the dem-
onstration Of loyalty to the sovereign
should subside. The queen, refusing td
appropriate to herself that which she
imagined to be intended for the artist
made no acknowledgment.
At length, when the situation becama
embarrassing. Jenny Lind, with ready
tact, ran forward TO the footlights and
sang God Save the Queen" which
was caught up at the end Of the solo by
the orchestra, chorus and audience.
The queen then came to the front Of
her box and bowed. and the opera was
resumed. 1.

made his way out into the back yard,
and when he returned he had about a
pint OF earth In paper. Depositing it
on the reading table, he passed out of
the front door, was absent five min
