and the distraught mind. So he asked
the great violinist to play something,
something lively a request to which
Kubelik responded by playing a brill
liant Slav composition. The patients,
in chairs, all seemed deeply interested
in the music. las | finished" says
kubelik, "a pretty young woman rose
and beckoned to me. Artist-like, I
thought she wanted an encoure. and
said to the doctor: Ask her what she
Desires He rose to his feet, and
was about to question her, when she
exclaimed: To think of the likes of
me being in here and he being at large
in the wur-r-ld.' This was the first
and last performance l gave at lun-
attic asylum. New York Tribune

tance from town was about two miles
and they with other help from sur
rounding farms failed to save the
building but the house was saved from
bushels of oats lost but no stock and
no machinery except a tanning mill.
The fire is said to have been started
by small boy with matches in the
strawstack near the barn.

The Three Ages of Man.

/ repember, writes a correspondent,
hearing Lord Dufferin tell the follow
ing story Of the late Sheridan LIE
Eanu:
Sheridan's father-the archbishop of
Meath, l think-was a great stickler
for punctuality, regard his son did
not share. One morning young Sheri-
dan, then years old, descended un-
usually late for breakfast and was met
at the door by his father, watch in
hand. "Is this right, sir?' demanded
the prelate in stern tones. Il don't
know, sir" replied Sheridan, looking
at the watch ans pretending to think
the question applied to it and not to
his conduct, but l rather think it's
fast
For this Importance young Sheri-
dan was condemned to write an essay
on The Three Ages of Man." Here
is what he wrote:
There are three ages of man
1. When he is engaged in planning
every conceivable mode Of wickedness.
This is known as the age of innocence.
2. When he is putting his nefarious
plans into operation. This is called
the prime of manhood.
3. When he becomes anxious about
his soul and turns to religion. This
is dotage.
And this from child Of Sleeve
land Plain Dealer.
