Musical Recital.

The musical recital given by
the pupils Of Miss Maggie Thomp-
son Saturday night at her resi-
dence on North street, was at
tended by an interested and en-
thusiastic audience OF patrons
and friends. The selections rem
dered even by the smallest be-
ginners, were executed with a
wonderful degree OF skill and IN
perfect time. The more advance
ed pupils gave selections OF the
best and most difficult classic
music, with graceful ease and eS-
preston. The exercises OF the
evening were varied by several
songs by the class. Each song
was rendered with spirit, and
called forth hearty applause.
Each number upon the program
showed the careful and conscien-
tious training of an experienced
pains stalking teacher. All lovers
of music present spent most de-
lightful evening. A VISITOR.

Strange Disease of Glass.

1t is reported that peculiar atfec-
ton has appeared in the glass win
dows of York cathedral, England. The
GLASS has become dull and fragile and
filed with holes. Windows that have
been in place for 600 or 700 years have
lately been removed to arrest this Curl
Gus form of deterioration. The
trouble, which may properly be named
a disease" is ascribed to fungus,
but in what way it attacks glass is not
vet definitely known. Possibly it dis
solves the silica in order to form a
she'll such as those Of the microscopic
diatoms that make up the fine siliceous
deposits found in Germany and other
countries. Glass is not the only lard
substance that may succumb to such
attacks, for a species of bacteria is
known to disintegrate the hardest
cements, and has thus wrought havoc
in water reservoirs.

PERNICIOUS PRACTICE.
InhaIing Tobacco Smoke Subjects the
Victim of the Habit TO Very
Serious Risk.

On the labels Of some boxes Of
cigarettes at present being sold TO the
public is a statement to the effect that
the cigarettes are made Of the purest
tobacco and paper obtainable, and
that, therefore, the smoke from
them may be inhaled safely and with
out irritating the respiratory pas
sages We do not hesitate to say that
such statement is highly mischievous
and that the practice of inhaIing smoke
into the lungs is attended with con-
siderable risk to the health of the
smoker.
1t is to be feared that the cigarette is
responsible largely for the prevalence
of this Objectionable habit of inhaling
tobacco smoke; the pipe or cigar smok-
er is, as a rule, not addicted to it be-
cause probably the smoke is too strong
or too irritating. But the fact that
the smoke of a cigarette may be I'M
irritating does not minimize the evil
effect of drawing smoke into the
/ lungs. for by this method the absorp-
! ton of the poisonous constituents Of
! 'OA''NNO NiiipNN NtlilAI ali lbbdNtO SlIlONt
is more or less poisonous) isvery rapid,
/ these entering quickly into the circula-
tory system by way of the pulmonary
capillaries. Even in the mouth and
nasal passages there is some amount
| of absorption, but this is trifiing com
! pared with that which takes place in
the lungs. The practice of inhaling to-
! baccO smoke is, therefore, strongly to
| be discountenanced. and vendors of
cigarettes should refrain from print
! ing on the boxes mischievuus state-
ments such as that to which we have
alluded.
The sequel to the habit of inhalation
may indeed be dire. the heart and
nervous system being chiefly affected.
Yet many cigarette smokers inhale
the smoke into the lungs. as may be
seen from the fact that very little of
the smoke which they draw from the
cigarette is afterward ected.-Lon-
don Lancet.

THE TIMID KITTEN.

There was a little kitten once
Who was of dogs afraid;
And being by no means a Ounce,
His plans he boldly made
He said: It's only on the land
That dogs run after me,
So l will buy cat-boat, and
I'll sail away to sea.
~Out there from dogs I'll be secure,
And each night, ere I sleep,
To make assurance doubly sure,
A dogwatch l will keep"
He bought a cat-bOat, hired a crew,
And one fine summer day
Triumphantly his flag he flew,
And gayly sailed away.
But in mid-ocean one midnight
Twas very, very dark
The pilot screamed in sudden fright:
Il hear a passing bark"
"Oh, what is that?" the kitten said.
The pilot said: 81 fear
An ocean greyhOund's just ahead,
And drawing very near.'
"Alackr' the kitten cried. "aiack!
This is no paltry pup,
An ocean greykound's on my track

side the tent and not very far apart.
While they stood about looking AT
the beasts a girl eight or nine years
of age came out of the tent, and, APP
preaching the elephant, began to play
with him. She would hold a wisp of
straw out to him, and when he thrust
his trunk toward it she would jerk
it away and jump back out of his
reach.
Then she would run all around him,
and he would try to touch her with
his trunk, but always in a gentle way,
as if he enjoyed the sport as much
as she did.
The people who were standing
around looked at all this with star
ing eyes. as if they expected to see
the little girl caught up and crushed
to death by the great beast, but they
found out later on that she was the
daughter of one of the managers, who
allowed her to play with the elephant
whenever she pleased, as it was very
fond of her, and seemed never SO
much delighted as when she was
near it.
Meanwhile the big bear was
watching them, and soon began tC
show signs of not liking their play
He was evidently in bad humor, bu:
the girl was so full of her fun with
her friend the elephant that she paid
no attention to the bear.
Presently, in jumping back to get
out of the way of the elephants
trunk, she got within reach of the
bear, and he seized her with his paw
and would no doubt have killed her
but the elephant saw him. and struck
him a blow with its trunk that laiC
him on the ground severely injured
Then there was great excitement

screamed and a dozen circus mer

it for a short distance only, the rest
of the side being broken in an irreg-

THE TRUCK PATCH.

You may bend your heads 10 listen to the
whisper of the trees.
You can lie a-feelin' dOpey m the dronn'

You can talk of mornin' glories hangiH
swayin on their stems,
An of violets a-noddin' crowned with dewy
diadems-
All of which is sweet, I grant yOU-swayin'
bloom and dronin bee.
But the little truck patch yonder sings a
sweeter song to me.
I jest like ter sink my face in the sweet
crnkly lettuce rows
Till ! rise red-cheeked an smilin' with the
dew drops on my nose;
Bet l love the fresh sweet lettuce with its
crisp and crinkly ways,
Bet at these here days OF springtime are
my green an salad days,
When putter mongst the trelises to coax
the clmbin' pea
Bet that little OF truck garden sings glory
song to me!
Like to tumble where strawberries are jest
sorter hdin' out,
An where green big belIied cabbages are
whisperin of krout,
An the little OF crisp radishes an onions
snuggle down.
There's poem in potatoes when their tops
are turning brown!
1 could almost sing an anthem to the
luscious blaCk-eyed pea.
An the roastin' ears o springtime-bet they
all appeal to me,
Bet the larkspur an the violet are pretty
things and sweet
But they simply aren't in it when you're
cravin' stuff to eat
An the perfumed breeze stirs sweetly in
the knee-deep prairie grass
But they's nothn' sways my heartstriugs
like a patch O. garden sass.
You kin prance across the prairie singin
loud an clear an free,
But they's nothing but "A truck patch sings
