Paderewski Outwitted Him.

An interesting story is told of the
minuet which Is perhaps the most
popular of all Paderewski's compost
tions. Paderewski, while q professor
at the Conservatoire of Warsaw, was
one evening at the house of the Pol.
ish poet, Swieztochowski, who ex-
pressed the opinion that no living
composer could compare with Mozart
in beauty and simplicity. At the mo.
ment Paderewski merely shrugged his
shoulders, but the following evening
he appeared and asked permission to
play his host a little thing of Mozart's,
which perhaps he did not know. He
played the minuet. Swieztochowski
was enraptured and cried triumphant.
ly:
Now you must acknowledge that a
piece like that could not have been
written in our time"
WELL" said Paderewski, quietly,
that happens to be minuet composed

A Thaekeray Auecdote.

A correspondent kindly contributes
the following amusing anecdote of
Thackeray's stay in New York, and
vouches for the authenticity OF a re-
tort courteous which we seem to have
met in other connections. Your rem
iniscences Of Thackeray's visit to
America recall another. While here
he was very much attracted by the
beauty and brilliancy of Miss b., and,
in accordance with the foreign custom,
made morning call when she did not
expect any one. Hearing some talking
in the lower hall, she leaned over the
banisters and asked the servant who
1t was. It's Mr.. Thackeray, ma'am.'
oh, damn Thackeray!' replied Miss B.
NO, said Thackeray, who could not
but hear the remark, it's not Misther
O'Dam Thackeray, but Mr.. Makepeace
Thackeray. And with a laugh Miss
B. came down. p. S.-If Miss B. Is
alive still, she can confirm this. New

Charles Ranhofer, the celebrated
chef of Delmonico's, declared until the
last days Of his life that there was
nothing, absolutely nothing, new in
the culinary art; that no new dishes
had been invented in fifty years; that
the so-called new dishes were only old
ones revived. Although the oyster
cocktail was introduced in the chop
houses Of New York about two years
before Mr.. Ranhofers death he never
included it in his list OF dishes, and
as his book was published before oys-
ters were served in this way, he does
not mention the cocktail. Really, it is
only the fact of serving the oysters in
a glass which gives the name to GER
tain way OF seasoning raw oysters
known for years among oyster deal
ers along the Chesapeake shore and
even at the stalls in the New York
oyster market This is the way to
prepare an oyster cocktail: Put seven
medium sized, freshly opened oysters
in tall, slender glass. Mix in a bowl
three teaspoonfuls Of tomato catsup, a
teaspoonful of horse radish in white
vinegar, four dashes of Tobasco sauce,
a tablespoonful of Worcestershire
sauce and saltspoonful Of salt. When
those ingredients are we'll stirred to-
gether pour the mixture in the glass
over the oysters and serve.-New York

The Indian Duck Trick.

A little tin or earthen pan, or some
times half cocoanut shell, supported
on three stones is filled with water.
on which is sprinkled red powder,
rendering it practically Opaque. A lit
tie duck Of wood or porcelain is placed
upon the surface, where IL at fret
floats, but at the command of the per.
former suddenly dives, remaining
submerged until again ordered to rise.
This very ingenious trick depends
upon the fact that In the bottom of the
vessel there is a minute hole, through
which passes hair. One end of this
is attached to the duck the other re-
mains at the disposal of the performer,
and Is attached, by means of a pellet
Of wax, to his tom-tom OF to one of the
hands with which he beats 1t. When
he wishes the duck to dive he pulls the
hair; when he desires it to rise he re.
lakes the pull. There Is naturally
some amount Of leakage through the
pinhole, and to cover this the perform
er takes care, when filling the pan, to
accidentally CD spill little water.
The ground being thus already wet.

special signal at night, as well as a
special kind Of note used in ordinary
conversation. Chickens have even
more modes of expression. A hen has
three distinct songs, one when seeking
her nest, another for calling her mate
and a third for grooming to herself or
in the search for food. The rooster
has several distinct notes, and Mr..
Wood claims that some of these the
ordinary person never observes.
There is one, low, fine whistle which
the rooster uses sometimes on a dark
day when going to roost, but when the
rooster really begins to carry on an
extensive conversation Is when he
meets another chanticleer in battle.
1t ranges all the way from defiant
chuckle, which invites the other fel-
low to fight as surely as the proverbial
chip on boys shoulder to feminine
Groom which means fear and desire
to retire. Perhaps of all birds, the
parrot is most intelligent. We have
been accustomed to think Of the par
rot as simply mimic, but Mr. Wood
claims to have known many that actu
ally understood the words they were
saying. One Of his parrot friends al
ways saluted him with Good morn
ing" early in the day, and Good
night" in the evening. So many i'm
possible stories are told Of parrots
intelligence that 1t Is difficult TO con-
slider these birds as seriously intelli
gent, yet there is no doubt as TO this
point. The ability of crows to smell
gunpowder long distance of has
always been claimed for them, and
those who have studied the birds to
any extent easily recognize varying
caws, showing fear, warning or affec-
tion as the case may be. That our
feathered friends are able to express
pleasure every one knows. The cheer
full Tilt of the sOngsters is only one
way in which they show their joy Of
living in such good world as ours.
We have much to learn from the birds
and beasts, and when we are able to
understand their languages we shall
doubtless hear of many things now un.
known to us.

The natural history books teach that
there is but one true species of horse,
the equus caballus of the zoologist
This creature, found wild in central
Asia, was believed to represent the
only surviving species Of family cir
Gle whereof the ass and zebra are also
representatives. 1t appears, however
that there must be revision of opin-
ion regarding the horse species. The
Duke Of Bedford has imported recently
into England twelve colts from Mon
golia. They have been identified with
the. species known as Przewalslz1's
horse, form known for at least 20
years, and discovered by the colonel
whose name 1t bears. The animals
represent a distinct species, and not
mere hybrid between the horse and
some allied form. There was a wild
horse Of the Kirghiz steppe called the
Tarpan. 1t is now extinct, but its lean
ings. 1t is said, were nearer to the ex-
listing and ordinary wild horse than to
the Przewalski form. The colts illus
trate, once again, the great difficulty
Of determining the exact nature Of o
species" of animals.

THE LONG JUJU FOUND.
Tho Fetlch Most Dreaded by West
African Tribes.

The British expedition in Aro, back
of the Guinea coast, reports that 4.
has discovered the long juju." The
long juju" is fetch or object Of wor-
ship, of which little Is known beyond
dreaded by most African tribes. The
terrorism which the Aros have long
exercised over the neighboring tribes
has been due in great measure to their
guardianship of the long juju." Ma.
jor Mockler Feryman, in his work on
British West Africa" states that the
supreme juju court was said by some
to be at the town of Bendi, but that
the head priests alone were aware of
the exact locality, and the secret was
guarded most jealousy. THE ac-
counts given Of the place" he says,
vary very considerably, though it
appears certain that it is the court of
hnal ordeal to which all cases that the
local iuiu men, for one reason or an
other, do not wish to decide are re.
ferred. The threat of long juju' Is
held over his trading boys by the
chief, and, 1t being the general opin-
ion that there is no return for the per-
son sent, the hold thus established Is
tolerably complete Still, cases oc-
cur or slaves whose misdeeds have
been repeatedly punished, and whom
their master wishes to get rid of: the
master assemblies court of the chiefs,
and the offender Is sentenced to be de-
ported to long juju,' and he then pro.
eeeds on his journey, under the care
OF juju man, who, the natives af-
irm, conducts him, blindfolded and by
circuitous route, to the fatal spot.
What eventually takes place has never
been divulged, and the popular ac-
counts have probably been spread by
the chiefs to overawe their slaves. The
supreme judge Is said to be priestess
possessed of the power OF knowing all
things. When brought before her the
offender Is merely told that he can de-
part; II guilty he becomes transfixed
10 the spot, and water gradually arises
around him until he becomes sub
merged Another version is that the
place Is situated on an island and that
the victim on being handed over by
his conductor goes through some
form OF mock trial. always resulting
in conviction, whereupon he Is cast
alive into huge tank of boiling hui
man blood. Juiu men stand around,
armed with two edged swords, with
which they hack the body to pieces
and stir mp the contents of the tank.

Stella's Unhappy Mishap.

1t was on bright Saturday morn
ing when Stella. the younger daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, desired to 60
over to her friends home, just block
from where she lived. The snow was
railing fast and the wind was blowing
wildly. Stella asked her mamma IL
she could go, receiving the answer,
NO, my dear; think you had better
not go out until after the snow stops
railing and the wind goes down a lit
tle."
This reply made Stella discontented
and nothing seemed to suit her. At
noon, when her papa came home tired
and worried. she began to tell him all
her troubles. The older sister, Ger
trude. was busy helping her mother
get the dinner. When the meal was
ready Stella would not eat anything,
although she was hungry, and her
papa felt ashamed of her behavior.
After dinner, as the weather had quite
changed, and the sun was shining
brightly, Mrs. Brown told her she
could go over to her friends. The lit.
tie girl was delighted and skipped out
OF the house. never thinking to bid her
mamma goodbye.
While she was on her way Gertrude
had gone to her room to rest, as she
had helped her mamma all morning
with the Saturday work. Gertrude
was very bright girl, and always
tried to do as she was told to do.
About this time Stella had arrived
at her friends home, but to her great
surprise she found no one at home.
She felt disappointed, and ran home
as fast as she could. When she re-.
turned she found her mamma sleeping.
Having had no dinner, she felt a little
hungry, so she went to the cupboard
to see what she could find. The first
thing that attracted her attention was
large dish Of apples, but upon trying
to reach the dish she accidentally
Jared another which contained eggs
This fell to the floor with q great
crash, and poor little Stella, seeing
the eggs all over the clean floor, did
not know what to do. At first she
thought she would call her mamma.
and then she thought she would be
Just then an idea flashed into her
head. She would 90 and see II her
sister was at home. She ran upstairs
and found Gertrude reading. When
Stella broke the news to her she hur.
ried down stairs with her to find the
eggs spread all over the floor. At first
she hardly knew what to do, but after
thinking awhile she finally decided to
try her skill at cleaning 1t up. She
succeeded very well, and when their
mamma awoke she found the house
very quiet as If nothing had hap.
pened.
Gertrude told Stella not to mention
1t to her mother, because she herself
would rather tell her Of the accident.
and Stella promised not to tell; but
no sooner did she see her mother than
she told her what had happened. Mrs.
Brown felt angry with her, and told
her she should always have to eat
with the family or eat nothing at all.

Mr.. Nelson Wood. an English sci.
enlist, has made a lifelong study of
the language of birds, and he cannot
only understand what many of the
feathered creatures are saying, but he
can also express things to them which
they understand. He has many inter.
esting things to tell about the birds
"he has met" The creatures of the
air, so he says, talk the least; tur-
keys, chickens and such feathered
creatures. as they do not fly 80 much,
talk the most. The explanation Of
this is natural. The birds who do not
fly are always in more danger, and
they have many notes of warning.
Language among them, of course, as
1t must have been among primitive
man, is but an expression of the sim.
plest needs. Danger, hunger, warn
ing, pleasure and such sensations are
the first emotions expressed. To H.
lustrate the various calls which tur.
key has, Mr.. Wood cites note for
overhead danger. another for danger

without birds. We would starx..

Man could not live In a birdless
world. A French naturalist asserts
that If all the birds in the world were
to die suddenly, human life on this
planet would become extinct in nine
years. In spite of all the sprays and
poisons which could be manufactured
to kill off destructive slugs and insects
they would so multiply that in that
length of time they would have eaten
up all the orchards and crops in ex
istence and man would be starved to
death. All that man does in the way
of preserving to our use the kindly
fruits Of the earth is as nothing COM
pared with what is accomplished bv
the vast army Of birds which prev
upon insect life and thus keep it down
to point which permits of the growth
of sufficient food to support human
life. Take away the birds and in nine
years not a man, woman or child
would be alive-all dead of starvation

Mrs. Mary Sinex. daughter OF Mrs.
M. G. Floyd, and sister OF Miss Lucy
Floyd, died Saturday morning, Sept.
6. at her home in Georgetown, Texas,
after a brief illness. Though she has
been sufferer for several years, her
death came with an almost paralyzing
suddenness to her relatives and friends,
who are deeply grieved at the un-
timely end Of life 80 full of promise.
In the first blush Of beautiful
youth, she consecrated her all to the
Master, and throughout her life, her
noble, cultured christian womanhood,
was helpful and inspiring to those
associated with her IN the nome. In
the church and in social life.
AS she lived 80 she died, and when
the.tnal summons came, her perfect
faith manifested itself, as with un-
broken voice she quoted the hymn:
"Arise My Soul, Arise.
BLESSED are the dead who die In the
Lord. And these are precious words
to the sorrowing loved ones who are
left to mourn her, for they know that
though "they asked longer. life for
her, God gave her life eternal
