DR.. Hauslick once asked Schumann
how he got on with Wagner.
"Not at ALL" replied Schumann; "for
me Wagner is impossible. Doubtless
he is very clever man, but he talks
too fast-one cannot get word i'm
Some time after, in an interview
which Hauslick had with Wagner. al
fusion was made to Schumann.
'With Schumann," said Wagner, sit
is impossible to arrive at an under
standing. He says nothing. Some
years ago on my return from Paris l
called upon him to talk of operas, con-
certs, composers and other interesting
matters with which had become &C.
quainted. Schumann looked at me
stolidly, or rather he looked into space,
without saying a word. Faith, | took

HE WAS A PAINTER.
A Drunken Prisoners Excuse In n
New York Police Court.

1t is characteristic of almost all the
prisoners except the DRINKS that their
chief concern is to secure a delay. They
plead and beg for an adjournment,
which they know will only postpone
the inevitable for a day or two, and
that although. through their inability
to obtain bail, they will have to stay in
prison just the same. The most plausi
BILE explanation is that they all are
fatalists, always hoping that something
unexpected may turn up to stave off
the impending catastrophe The
DRINKS. on the other hand. are more
eager to face the arbiter of their fates,
knowing that nothing worse than fine
is likely to befall them and that the
sooner it is imposed the sooner it may
be paid or served off. And then there
is the chance, if the magistrate is in
good humor, that they may get away
unscathed mt once
As a rule, although not seldom still
in their cups, they are luuth to make
any discriminating admissions. NO,

FLAGS ON THE CAPITOL.
What II Means when They Are Fly
ing at Half Mast.


The flying Of fags over the capitol at
half mast is regulated by the strictest
rules. Whenever these flags are seen
floating half way down the mast it is
a sure indication that vice president
senator or representative is lying dead
or that the action is taken in response
TO a presidential proclamation ordering
the flags on public buildings at half
mast in respect to the memory of som
prominent official of the government
who has passed away.
When the sergeant Mt arms of the
senate or house of representatives
learns OF the death of Il member OF
either Of those bodies, he at once
orders that the flags over the senate
chamber or hall Of representatives be
half maSted. This is often done before
the houses Of congress themselves are
officially notified Of the death. a cool
deal of discretion is exercised in the
manner of placing the news of a death
of this Kind officially before the senate
or the house. Upon such an announce
ment ii is customary for the houses to

Thumb Nail Pictures,

In collections centuries old, to he
seen in both China and Japan are
specimens of the most remarkable
drawings in the world. pictures of all
kinds drawn with the thumb nail. The
nails of the thumbs on the left hands
of the artists of these are allowed to
grow TO an enormous length, some
times to a foot or eighteen inches, and
are then pared down TO a pen SHAPED
point. Dipping this oddly constructed
pen in beautiful vermilon or sky blue
ink, the only kinds of ink used in these
sacred thumb nail drawings, the artist
gracefully outlines his work.
Occasionally the bold touches from
the studio of a master in this depart
ment Of high art" are life size and
are sketched by few sweeps of the
artists arm. Like other pictures and
sketches of the orient, these sacred
thumb nail pictures are mounted and
rolled up like scrolls
