A TRICK OF HAYDN.
The Note That Mozart Thought Ii
Wns Impossible TO Play.

The Note That Mozart Thought 1t
Was Impossible TO Play.
Haydn and Mozart were great
friends. When either had composed Il
masterpiece the other was invited to
the house of the composer to enjoy the
first sweetness 1t CHANGED TO be
Haydn's turn, and Mozart came full OF
expectation. Contrary to custom, Haydn
invited his guest to give his interpreta-
ton of the theme instead of playing 1t
over himself. Much pleased at the com
pliment, Mozart played brilliantly, for
the work was beautiful and his must
clans soul was stirred.
Suddenly he halted and looked across
the piano at his friend.
"There's mistake here" he said. "a
passage written for three hands would
be impossible for soloist. OF course
those notes must come out"
"Oh," said Haydn quietly, 81 can
play It."
Mozart laughed.
"My friend, you have not three
hands"
perhaps not" answered Haydn.
Nevertheless / contend that can
play the passage. would not have
written 1t otherwise"
"A challenger cried Mozart. prove
your word" And he yielded his place
at the piano.
His excitement rose as Haydn reach
ed the disputed passage, when, to his
amazement, the composer brought his
nose to the keyboard, and the notes
rang out clear and true.

The ordeal of Boiling OIL.

In Ceylon the system of witch find
Ing" Is both unique and terrible. Some
oil from newly gathered king cocoanuts
is manufactured by one of the friends
of the complainant. This Is poured into
a primitive stone vessel and heated to
the boiling point. Each of the suspect
ed witches is then brought upon the
scene and is then and there compelled
to dip three fingers of the right hand
into the secthing caldron each having
q right under her ideas of justice to
throw the oil remaining upon her FIN.
gers into the face of the complainant.

While this ordeal Is being undergone
a single exclamation of pain on the part
OF the suspected person is constructed
TO be an admission of guilt. If no such
exclamation is made the innocence Of
the accused is supposed to be estab
lished 1t Is said that every tenth per-
son on the island OF Ceylon has manned
fingers MS result of having met the
ordeal of boiling Oil"

some kind of a trade union auxiliary
should be organized composed of mid
die class and professional men and
women who would REINFORCE the trade
union firing line. Clarence S. barrow
recently proposed something of this
kind. but of legal nature merely. A
well organized auxiliary would have
not only a legal bureau, but press
bureau, to correct the false statements
that are made during almost every
strike. financial bureau to raise funds
to help unionists who are being perse
cuted and an educational bureau to
furnish reading matter to the labor pa
pers of the country.
The fact that the unions are now do
ing the rough and dangerous work of
social progress cannot be disputed.
They are the hardy pioneers of new
and more humane social system, the

ton, and they should not be left to face

assistance Of all those who wish to
make this country a republic in fact as

A Limerick tobacconist of the name
of Iundyfoot, doing comparatively
small trade, was unfortunate enough
To have his establishment destroyed
10y FIRE ON visiting the ruins next day
he saw some of his poor ncighbors
among the debris gathering the half
baked SNUFF from the canisters which
had not been entirely destroyed by the
fire. lie tasted what he considered the
worthless article and to his surprise
found that the heat from the fire had
added puncency aud aroma to the snuff
Protiting 10y the discovery, the shrcwd
freshman ut once set about baking his
SNUFF In ovens. and the fame of the
"lilackNard SNUFF was established and
an immense fortune soon made by

The Real sIgniacance.

Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, In his
European edition, the Paris Herald,
comments most interestingly and vigor-
ously on the election OF VIII Crooks, a
Radical workingman, as member of
parliament for Woolwich. He says
editorially:
The significance Of his triumph, how
ever, is far wider than any mere issue
between political parties. 1t shows
that the working classes have at length
begun to act together for the protec-
ton of their own interests and in pro
test against the ruinous extravaganza
with which the country is threatened
by the policy of ministers.

CIerRyman'B SOUND ADVICE 10 the
Men Who Labor.
In the course Of a sermon recently
delivered Rev Charles Bayard Mitch
ell Of the First Methodist church of
Cleveland said:
In view of the fact that all are Ia
borers and that there is dignity in all
honest toll, think not meanly Of your
work. All honest toll is manly. Thank
God, our American ideal Of a gentle
man includes the toiler and excludes
the tramp. The European ideal .ex-
cludes the toiler and includes the
tramp, or the man who will not work.
Our modern civilization Is the result of
the toll Of the man who works. He
felled our forests, tills our farms,
works our mines, builds our vast struc-
lures, runs our railroads and builds
our steamships. And the mechanics
past Is as full of achievement as the
present. The very pyramids are his
monuments.
l call on you men to honor your own
special trade. DO not apologize for It,
When / was printers devil" | was
proud of the ink on my cheek. Elihu
Burrltt always declared himself
blacksmith, though he was one of the
greatest scholars of his age. Honor
your own trade by showing that
manly life can be lived In Its pursuit.
Lend your influence to exalt the dignf-
ty of your calling. To this end ally
yourself with your fellow tradesmen.
Organize your fellows for self improve
ment and for the betterment of the
class of apprentices admitted to your
trade. Organize for self protection. Ii
you do not hang together you Will hang
separately. Labor has the same right
to organize that capital has. If you are
not organized you will not be treated
like men, but like slaves. Every pro-
lection that labor has secured, every
accession which has been secured to
labor, everything done to increase Its
wage and Its conditions in shop or
home, has been brought about through
the organized effort Of laboring men.
The very men who refuse to ally them
selves In organization with their fell
low workers are also participants In
the advantages which have resulted
from the efforts of those with whom
they refuse to unite.
