MOZART AND BEETHOVEN
Chambers Journal

The stories of how men of genius have had
future fame predicted for them in their early
youth must generally be taken with con-
siderable grain of salt. AS authentic as most
is the account of the first meeting OF Mozart
with the young Beethoven, which TOOK place
on the latter's first visit to Vienna in the
wear 1887. Mozart then at the height OF his
fame, asked him to play, but, thinking his
performance prepared piece. paid little at
tention to it, Beethoven, seeing this, en-
treated Mozart to give him subject, which
he did, and the boy, getting excited with the
occasion, played so finely that the composer
of Don Giovanni stepping softly into the
newt room. said to his friends there, PAY at
tentfor to him. he will make noise in the
world some day or another.

r,,n oRIGIN OF THE sABRArH

Professor Morris Jastrow in the Independent.
The Sabbath a religious institution is
far older than the Pentateuchal legislation 1t,
too, can be traced back to Babylonian
prototype, not, however, as day of rest from
labor, but as kind of atonement day, when
by various rites and by observing certain re-
stricted regulations the anger of the gods
could be appeased. On this old institution the
Hebrews migrated their religious ideas and
produced the unique institution of day OBJ
served as respite from the weeks toll, and
which, from being an "inauspicious" occa-
sion, dies frae is viewed as a deli ght."

PorrER,s CRoCKERY

Bishop Nichols, the head of the California
Episcopal diocese, tells a good story on Bish-
op Potter of New York When Bishop Potter
was in San Francisco at the recent Episcopal
convention, he made his headquarters at the
home of w. H. Croker, on Mob hill, the
mansion having been rented by j. Pierpont
Morgan for himself and guests. Two men,
passing the house one morning, looked - at
it and one said: Here is Crocker's !"
Bishop Potter was just coming down til 8.
He heard the remark, and. advancing, said
smilingly: Excuse me, gentlemen. but this
is Potter's crockery.''

Faithful Dogs.

The fathfulness and devotion OF a dog for
his master has often been the subject OF re-
mark, and many heart-thrilling stories have
been told to the credit of that faithful COM
panion of man. Instances Of the devotion
of these animals to each other are not so
common. Passing along Lake street early one
evening, the writer noticed a large and hand
some dog sitting near the sidewalk on a rise
in vacant block. Being a lover OF dogs, he
whistled to it, but it did not stir. At the
same time, in the dim light he thought ne
saw another dog farther back Returning
along the same street some four OF Ave hours
later, he was somewhat surprised to see the
dog sitting in the same place, and when spo-
ken to it did not move. This aroused his
curiosity, and stepping up to the animal. he
saw another dog twenty feet In the rear
Going toward it. he found a faithful spaniel
lying across the body of another one that was
dead. He Datted the animal on the head.
but the poor dog was so stiff with cold 1t
could hardly move in response to the greet
ing. An effort was made to induce the two
faithful animals to leave, but they refused to
move, though smaller dog, not much more
than pup, and which was lowering around
the others, followed the observer to his
home When going to the car line the next
morning, it did not surprise him to find the
two animals still at their post.

A True Story.

Here's the bare outline Of story from
real life: A young barber was earning SIG
week. He fell in love with a young dress
maker who had a very good voice. She was
mere girl-only 16. They were married.
They, or rather, the wife, wanted to get
rich. She employed four seamstresscs and
her dressmaking business grew apace. To
make more money she boarded them. Two
clerks also boarded with the young couple
The wife received good salary for singing
in church on Sundays. They took three
day trip into the country, the wife gave
three concerts and they made $1,000. The
first thing they knew they were worth $1,000.
The husband began to look at fast horses.
He also thought of quitting work
barber. Then his wife began to cough a lit
tie and he thought he would keep on. The
doctor said 1t was bronchitis. Six MONTH
later he said it was consumption. The young
couple hastened to Colorado Springs. Here
again thrift was to the fore. He found
work in barber shop, she as cashier in a
restaurant at So week with board for the
two. She also got a position In church
choir at $40 a year. Her health improved.
They were happy and making more money
than they were spending. But at length
she began to get worse. They went to Texas,
to Arizona. to New Mexico, to Southern
California, to Washington and finally back
to Minneapolis. And when she died the 600
was gone

With all due Difference to the medical fra
ternity, for whom the writer has great re-
spect, ne cannot help calling attention TO
the necessity OF having distributing bu-
feau for doctors, where patients could be
sorted out according to their probable maIa-
ales, AT the present time If you go to a
nerve specialist there arises strong nre
sumption in the specialists mind that yo;,
nave case OF nerves If you haven't WHY
are you In his Office instead of a s,Irgeon,sa
II you call on the oculist he is apt to tak..
It for granted that you have some local
trouble OF the eyes, though you may be SUI
ferlng from dyspepsia. If you go to the
oitnopedlst he will know at a glance that
there is something the matter with YOUR bones
or joints. Now if there were a Patients, Dis.
tributin@ Bureau the man who knows that
there Is something the matter with him, but
can tell What could get an impartial dag
nosls OF his case without much regard To
what he himself may guess to be the matter
with him.
Two Cases in Point
one OF the best surgeons in Minneapolis
tells a little story himself that illus
trates the strong effect unwarranted pre-
sumption may have on a doctor. A fireman
came to him with painful swelling on his
back. saying that he had fallen from a lad
der at fire some weeks before and had ever
since been troubled with pain in his back,
accompanied by a hard swelling and that
he sure that he had hurt his spine. Ths
doctor at once was convinced that the case
was very serious one and that he had a
badly diseased backbone to deal with Hs
was just getting ready to tell the patient
what long period Of treatment he would
have to undergo when he found out that he
was confronted by nothing worse than an
obstinate boil. In another case man who
really did have a very dangerous disease Of
the backbone was for a. long time treated
by nervous specialist, chiefly because the
specialist was deceived by the patient into
believing that there was something -primar .
lily wrong with his nerves. He was in c
nervous condition, but it was caused by a
bone trouble. The right sort Of a specialist
eventually got hold of this man and the first
one very gracefully confessed that he had
been deceived.

Elijah Dowie and the Sultan Of Turkey
are suffering from excessive brother-in-law.

A full page Of a recent New York Journal
was devoted to a description of the recent
scene in Bostock's zoo, when pig was slowly
crushed to death by an anaconda. At the
time, Bostock and his lecturer Professor
Rollins were present and hugely enjoyed
the sight-the latter with the keen interest
of scientist; and Captain Bonavita, having
his camera With him, took photographs OF
the scene for the future education of the
young. Was it not, indeed, beautiful sight!

Olga fell fainting in the snow, but the
faithful Karl revived her and brought
her safely home.
: Now, my sister. thou must prepare
for the Jul Alton, the eve of the great
day when the Christ Child was born.
Do not fear, thy Johan will come at
midnight, as the terrible old bag OF
the forest said. l will help thee pre-
pare trenches of snow-white lutfsk,
and heaps of kott bolar. We must
have a mountain Of seed cakes and
keep filled with smoking punch the
huge bowl thy father left thee. We
must not forget the coffee, kara Sos
ter, oceans Of it, nor the salt pig and
the baskets of spice bread. We shall
have the village there, and all be
ready to greet Johan with loud
"skald," for he will be sadly in need
of it. And the pastor, Olga, he must
be there and he must remain there,
and thou must be ready and willing to

her arm as IL to strike, but now Olga
feared her not.
"In the name of the Christ Child l
demand Johan Of thee. Thou hast
promised whatever l might ask, and
| will have no other gift from thee"
In vain the old crone rayed and
cursed and begged the girl to take all
she possessed, but not the youth. She
tore her hair and beat her breast and
threatened dire vengeance upon the
girl and her betrothed. but the clang-
ing Of Karl's hammer gave Olga cour-
age to repeat her demand: Give me
my Johan in the name of the Christ
Child"
At last, the bag, worn out, said
harshly: Get thee home, and at the
stroke of midnight on the Jul Alton |
will bring thee thy Johan," then with
a bitter scream she disappeared, and

stricken maiden, falling on her knees
and holding up her hands to heaven.
Spare my Johan, oh, heaven!'

sternly. Rise from thy knees and
