Nv Mozart.

The average compositor has most
intense dislike for contractions and
rarely puts one in his pages when it
can be avoided. When he and the re-
porter disagree as to the meaning Of
some abbreylation, the result is some
times amusing.
A good example of this occurred in a
southern city where popular touring
orchestra was giving a Sunday night
concert Naturally their selections Were
principally Of sacred character. Next
morning the Daily - announced:
"The second part opened with a
splendid rendition of the Overture
From the Twelfth Massachusetts, by
Mozart "-Harper's.

The stendy, Silent Ones.

The roar OF the storm is fierce and loud;
1t lashes and crashes and rips and tears:
The water is dashed against the pane,
The world is dronched by the sheets Of
rain.
But after the clustering what is the gain,
What good las been wrought in the
worlds affairs?
The warm, sweet drzzle that comes along
And quietly busies itself al day
Helps the sprouts to push through the
softcnod ground.
Lures the buds outside for q peep around
And with never a roar or q fearful sound
Does the work that the loud storm new
er may.
1t isn't the buster. the noise. that counts
In the fields or out with the busy
throns;
The boastng man, like the storms that
tear
And rip and below, the world can spare:
Tho steady and silent ones must care
For the good old earth rs 1t rolls along.

The Tongue.
1.-THE homeless tongue, so small and weak
Can crush and KILL" declared the Greek
1.-The tongue destroys a greater horde
The Persian proverb wisely saith
"A lengthy tongue an early death"
Or sometimes takes this form instead:
Don't let your tongue cut off your head"
1.-THE tongue can speak a word whose
speed"
Says the Chinese, "outstrips the steed.''
While Arab sage doth mpart:
1.-THE tongues great storehouse is the
heart"
From Hebrew with the maxim sprung:
Though feet should slip. ne'er let the
tongue"
The sacred writer crowns the whole:
who keeps his tongue doth keep his
soul"
Rev Philip Burrows Strong.
yVeman's Courage.
Oh man, boast not thy lion hearth!
Tell not of proud heroic deed!
Have we not seen thy Wanted art
Fall in tho deepest hour OF need?
But woman's courage tbs more deep.
More strong than heart of man can feel.
To save her little cnes that sleep
Che hares her bosom to the steel!

day. The reception of the Americans was
most brilliant and picturesque. Emperor

Be Recommended by NJ. Vic

Though He May Be Fully Re
stored-Will Be Declared In
nocent of Charges.

PARIS. Dec. 2i.-It has been learned that
at a meeting OF the Dreyfus commission
next Wednesday NJ. Victor MERCER. re-
porter of the commission, and one of the
directors of the Ministry Of Justice. will
submit a report recommending revision OF
the case of Captain Dreyfus. II is not yet
positively known whether M. Mercier's re-
port will recommend revision by the Court
of Cessation or by the court-martial. but
there Is every reason to believe that the
Court of Cessation will now reconsider the
case in the light Of the facts gathered by
NJ. Mercier. at the same time passing upon
the other documents submitted. While 1t
Is impossible at this stage to predict what
view will be taken by the commission, it is
expected that 1t will adopt. at least by a
majority. NJ. Merciers recommendation.
III the revision of the case should be IA
vorable to Captain Dreyfus he will be re-
stored TO the army, no matter what pro-
tests may be made. but 1t is not expected he
viii assume active service.
NJ. Mercier's report. II Is believed, not only
establishes that Dreyfus is innocent OF
writing the bordereaux, but dwells with
lin keeper of the War Office records, of his
testimony before the Council at Rennes.
NJ Gribelin then swore that Dreyfus was
guilty, while the modification OF his testi-
mony now indicates that the alleged treason
was committed by Colonel Henry. who was
at the time chief of the intelligence depart
ment of the Ministry OF War.

of a more sweeping move by the company
shortly, which will cut the wages of no less
than 5000 men. The reduction is said to
be violation of the Altoona scale agree
ment, and it is feared other competing
companies in the field may follow suit with
a far reaching result to the miners of the
central field.
So far the big mining companies in the
nearby counties have paid the Altoona
scale without demur. Patrick Gilday,
president of District No. 2. United Mine
Workers, said to-day: Our union will fight
scale violations with all its strength We
have heard rumors of scale violations from
time to time, but this last is most serious
IF there is general trouble in the field it
will be the fault Of the operators, not
ours"
