His First and Last.

All amusing story is told of Masse-
nets solitary experience with a gun.
1t was when he was 4 PriX de Rome
musical student at the Villa Medicis,
which has given to the world so many
composers. He bought a brand new
gun and a beautiful dog, which raj
between its new masters legs at the
first shot and nearly precipitated a
disaster. Somehow Massenet was al
ways late with things that either few
or ran; but, noticing a pike basking
neal the edge of a pool, he fired at the
fish and killed it, afterward returning
to Rome with it on the end of his gun,
as the local custom is. This was Mas
senet's first shooting party; it was also
his last.

IhOrny Path of the Musician.

1t is the bitter truth that fairly good
musicians too often find after years Of
study and expense that it is almost i'm
possible to secure q hearing and that
money must go out where it is expected
to come in. The debut OF Il singer not
infrequently involves serious outlay,
including a paid manager whose duties
cover not only such details as the rent
ing of IL hall, advertising, purchase Of
floral tributes. etc, but the drumming
up Of Il paper" audience as well, and
free tickets are not always rewarded
by applause Or press notices. The great
est check to an artistic career is to be-
come a fad with the so called mart
set, whose interest is tieeting and I'M
discriminating. yet bills must be paid,
patronage represents money, and few
can resist the temptation to seek it.
Finally it is shortsighted policy for a
novice to appear side by side with an
experienced artist. It may bring tinan-
clal return. but when an obscure young
person makes j first bow TO the public.
assisted by a celebrity, comparison
is incvitable.-Everybody's Magazine.

HOW the Animal Leads His
PursuerS Astray.
The possum will usually go home by
a tree trunk road. Through the open
country on the boundaries of his range
he trots along without mipdiDg his
steps. The dogs may have all the fnn
here with his trail that they can. He
intends only that they shall not find his
home tree MOI vcn the vicinity Of it.
So as he enters his wv n~eighborhooi
swamp his movements change. The
dogs may be hard after him or not. II
they are not close behind he knows bT
long experience that they may be ex-
pected and never so far forgets his pre-
cious skin rs 10 go straight to his nest
tree.
Instead he trOts along a boundary
fence or in the stream, leaping tile
crossing logs and coming III likely on
the bank opposite his home tree. Far
thcr down he jumps the stream, runs
hard toward Il big gum and from Il
dozen feet away takes a flying leap.
catching the rough trunk np just out
Of the reach of The keen nOsedt dogs.
He goes on up a little and leaps again,
touching the ground ten feet out, thus
leaving 4 blank of twenty Or more. feet
in his trail.
The stream or fence has puzzled the
dogs, but TO- at the tree they begin
to worry. They circle and finally pick
up the scent beyond the first gap only
to run instantly into a greater blank.
one that the widest ciTcling does not
cross, for the possum has taken to an
other tree, out on the limbs Of this to
still another and on like a squirrel from
tree to tree for perhaps a hundred
yards, on, it may be, to bis own high

In MEDIEVAL times there was no pri-
vate ownership in cherry trees in
Switzerland. They belonged to the
community. and there were special reg
ulations as to their picking. At Alt
staten, in the canton of Zurich, this
custom was still in vogue early in the
last century. At some places a special
bell was rung to indicate that the cher
ries were ripe. Then it was first come
