The small and old fashioned Mozart
house is in the middle Of Salzburg. 1t
is with feeling Of respect, visitor to
the spot says, that one climbs the three
flights OF stairs and enters the room
where Mozart was born. All the an
cient pictures, the two old pianos and
many relics belonging to the composer
take one back hundred years. The
only jarring note in this harmonious
association of memories Is that Mo-
zarts skull is in glass case in the
center of the room, all that remains of
him, since no one could ever dIstin-
guish his body in the mass Of remains

UNEXPECTED RESULT.

Mr. Bighend's Fly Screen and the
Trouble IT Caused Him.
When Mr.. Bighead fitted the fly
screens he had brought home with him
that evening into the windows, he dis
covered, to his disgust, that owing TO
uneven settling of the house there was
a crack more than wide enough for
q fly or mosquito to crawl through be-
tween the tops Of the screens and the
bottoms of the windows for nearly
half their width.
He pondered the situation for few
minutes, with all his inventive faculties
on the alert, while vainly trying to
persuade the windows to fit snugly on
the screens. Then he grabbed his hat
and hurried out Of the house.
In n little while he returned with a
small package in his hand and, suiting
the action to the word, in the most ap-
proved elocutionary style explained TO
his wife:
"My dear, it Is well established
scientific fact that all insects hate to-
bacco, except man only. 1 therefore
shall lay a train of this snuff I just
have purchased along these cracks,
and no insect will cross 1t. We shall
be as free from their intrusion as
though the screens fitted perfectly un-
til I have time to get a carpenter to
fix them. And this also shows the
benefit of being able with well regu-
lated mind to apply the results Of your
reading to practical, everyday mat
ters"
The happy and triumphant smile OF
the successful inventor played about
Bighead's mouth as, having finished
sprinkling the snuff, he adjusted his
glasses, arranged his paper and settled
himself comfortably by window to
enjoy his well earned immunity from
insectile annoyance 1t still gamboled
at intervals over his countenance when
a gentle "Achee.' from his wife caus-
ed him to look anxiously up from his
newspaper.
"My DEAR" he said solicitously, you
must be sitting in a-achoo! ah-ah-
achooi ah-ah-ah-ah-achoo-o
aft"
"Acheei achee-e-e! achee-e-e-e-ev said
Mrs. Bighead vehemently.
"Achool ah-ah-achoo! ah-ah-ah-ah-
choow said Bighead violently.
"Acheei Achooi Achee-e-e! Ah-ah-
ah-achoo Achee-e-e-e-e. Ah-ah-ah-ah-
ah-achoow they said both together fu-
riously.
"This is most-achoo!-aston
painted Bighead, tenderly mopping his
infiamed eyes with the back Of bis
hand. 1T must be sudden epidemic
of-achoo! Observation-Disclosures inhueu-
"a again. Ah!'

e-e-eLkindr' gasped Mrs. Blghead,
rushing for the door. 'The-achee!
