The Lions Price.

Amazing prices are paid 70 the
leading musicians when they are in
duced TO entertain at private houses.
One or two, notably Jean de Reszke
and Calve, refuse such engagements
on any terms. A new York multi
millionaire and patron OF music being
debarred from attending Kubelik's
first concert, paid $1,000 for the priv
ilege OF having the young violinist
play for one hour in his own music
room. Nine. Sembrich could proffer
gratuitoUsly her voice and her time
10 help raise money for charity, and
almost in the same breath decline a
tempting offer that began with $4,000
and increased to ANY sum she
pleased to name" for a wealthy mans
musical. Another soprano accepted
$1,000 for an evening only on condi-
ton that her husband should be in
cluded in her hOstess's arrangements
and should receive $500. Every year
Paderewski contributes to charity
the entire proceeds of one recital;
when he consents to play in private
at all he never abates a penny of his
$4,000 fee.-Everybody's Magazine.

Amount of Sleep Required

"a healthy infant sleeps most of
the time during the first few weeks, y
says a medical authority, "and in
early years people are disposed to let
children sleep as they will. But when
6 or years old, when school begins,
this sensible policy comes to an end,
and sleep is put off persistently
through all the years up to manhood
or womanhood At the age of 10 or
II the child is allowed to sleep only
eight or nine hours when its parents
should insist upon its having what it
absolutely needs, that is, ten or eleven
at least. Up to 20 a youth needs nine
hours sleep and an adult should have
eight. insufficient sleep is the cry
ing harm of the day. The want of
proper rest and normal conditions of
the nervous system, and especially
the brain, produces a lamentable
condition.

Rends Like a Miracle.

Friarspoint, Miss, Nov. 30.-The
Butler case still continues to be the
talk OF the town. Mr.. G.. L. Butler,
the father OF the little boy, says:
1.-THE doctor said my boy had disease
OF the spinal chord. and treated him
for two months, during which he got
worse all the time. Finally. the doctor
told me he did not know what was the
trouble. The boy would wake up dur
ing the night and say that he was
dying. He would be nervous and trem-
bling and would want TO run from the
house, saying he saw ugly things
which frightened him. After we had
tried everything else, l read an adver-
tisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a
cure for Nervous Troubles. l pur-
chased some and used them until he
had taken altogether eight boxes,
when he was sound and we'll with
not a single symptom of the old trou-
BILE. This was some months ago, and
l feel sure that he is permanently
cured. We owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills
all the credit for his restoration to
good health"

LEARN TO USE The LEMON.

Do you know the value of a lemon
and the great work il can do for you?
The acid of the lemon acts upon
the liver very directly, and is there
fore the best OF medicine for the
chrOnically or the acutely bilious
person. The juice of a lemon i'm a
cup of hot water, without sugar,
should be taken every morning until
the skin and tongue are clear.
But il must be remembered that
the acid thins the blood and the
person who is poorly nourished must
use lemons sparingly. In fact. the
person who does not need lemons will
not even like TO think of the sourness.
Nature speaks very plainly if we
know how to listen.
When raw eggs are TO be taken for
strength. a few drops of Juice
squeezed on top of the broken egg
DISCUSSES the slight sulphurous taste
of the egg. and one can swallow it
like an oyster.
Lemon used in buildings, in sauces
and in gelatine desserts is one of the
most healthful ingredients; and lemon
added to unfermented grape Juice
gives it the tang" that it needs.
For the skin. lemon Juice has no
equal; it whitens and softens when
properly applied. Slices of lemon in
a bathtub Of hot water softens it and
adds to the cleansing property. In a
basin Of hot water it becomes an ex-
cellent face-wash; and used upon the
finger nails it softens and cleans.
For the teeth it may be used care
fully, as strong acid is not good for
the enamel-a half teaspoonful of a
glass of water is enough.
and for cleaning white marble.
brass, and for taking out ink stains
lemon juice and salt are effective.
All packed inside the yellow cover
ing lie these benefits for mankind.
Learn to use the lemon.

Snarrows Scare a Cat.

Several persons watched a flock of
plucky little English sparrOws drive a
cat out of Bowling Green park early
the other morning. Hundreds of the
birds were hopping about in the grass
and flower beds looking for worms,
when a large gray cat stole stealthily
across the sward and hid among the
flowers. She lay mOtionless, watching
chance to spring upon a sparrow,
but the birds kept well out of reach.
Finally the flock seemed to be
holding a council of war. Then
grouped themselves on the turf, few
yards away from the cat, and chatter
ed vociferously Then they began
hopping toward the enemy, forming a
regular line of battle.
Puss became Eervous as the big
flock of birds came almost within her
reach, and she backed way, evidently
hoping that one would be foolhardy
enough to come within reaching dis
lance. Suddenly the whole flock took
wing, with great chattering and
whirring, and flew directly over the
cat. 1t frightened her, and she fed.
The birds again settled down among
the flower beds, and once more began
scratching for worms.-New York
