MUSICAL PRoDloIEs."

The accountH of Master Danewski who at the mature age of eight has been conducting full orchestra at Bournemouth in military march of his own composition, casually remark ing that he had written 1t several years ago when he was quite young" sug- gcsts question which is worthy of more attention than 1t has received. Why are genuine musical prodlgies comparatively common, whereas in other branches of art they are practi- cally non-existent? We say genuine" because it is undoubtedly the case that, while of course not every precocious musician is heard of in maturer life, nearly every great musician has in h's time been a prodigy. One need only instance Mnzart. Schubert, Haydn. Chopin, and among exeeutants of to- day, Joachim and Norman Neruda, to realize that this is so. Have psychol- ogists explained why the genius of mu- sic should and does awake in the soul years before that of painting and the allied arts ?-London Chronicle.

What It Is Costing Mr. Hearst.

Further bulletins of the progress of the Hearst boom bring such informa- ton of MT. Hearsts generosity that we fear the Hearst managers in Arizona were entirely too modest in their dick CT with the dauntless young leader of the democratic hosts.
 Dispatches from New England relate that to capture the Rhode Island dele gation of eight members to the nation al convention Hearst's managers are credited with spending s25.OO0 among the leaders and bosses Of the Pocket Edition state.
 That in Boston a preliminary fund of s14.O00 has been received. and offers have been received by the Democratic clubs of Lynn. Mass. and Manchester. N. H., to pay their entire expenses If they will support Hearst. Several lead ing politicians in Massachusetts and Connecticut are under high salaries to work for the New Yorker, and money is being lavishly spent in devious ways.
 That an initial expenditure of s500.- 900 will be made in establishing the new Hearst daily in Boston, and the pay roll will carry about two hundred men for several months at least. ali being expected to vote and work for Hearst politically.
 And this is only the beginning of an ayOr,ro,,s o oY,oupt tho. ,,,;IJ bo e,,o.. l., the Bay state to combat the popularity of Richard Olney. the strongest candt- date in sight. for whom the Massachu- setts Democratic club is working ener- getically. On the basis of the Rhode Island expenditures it is figured Hearst's nomination will cost S1, ,25O, 900. On the Massachusetts basis it would cost s23.000,000, and then some cruel he won't be elected.
 We should judge, however, that the cost of making MT. Hearst's campaign in the entire nation will be much near CT the Rhode Island basis than the Massachusetts basis. The cost could be still less if figured according to the outlay in Arizona-but as already in timated, it is told that the Arizona managers were not as thoroughly dom mated by the spirit of ''commercialism" as are their brethren in New England. We have heard that only a little cash has been invested in this territory. along with big barrel of the com modity known as jolly

FIRST USED IN CIVIL WAR.
Hypodermic Syringe Owes Its Exist
 ence to Exigencies of Battle.

"The subject of the first use of the hypodermic syrince was discussed at the last meeting of the army surgeon in New Orleans last spring." said pr. R. D. Jackson, "and one Surgeon stat ed that the first time it was used, he thought, was in the Army of the Tennessee. While in the Tennessee army I wrote to a friend In Augusta, J. r. w. Walker. to try to get me a I had never seen one. but thought from what I had heard about 1t that 1t would be very useful in relieving the wounded soldiers of pain.
 My friend was fortunate enough to secure one from a physician and sent it to me while I was on duty at the hospital at Ringgold, Ga. I exhibited 1t to my friends-the surgeons there. eighteen in number-but none of them had ever seen one. At that time I was treating a very severe case of dys- entary, the patient being chaplain from Texas, and one of Gen. Bragg's most reliable scouts. One of the sur geons suggested that we try the hy- podermic syringe on the patient, which was done by inserting a quarter of a grain Of morphine in the back. It is possible that the army surgeon at the New Orleans convention who referred to the first use of the syringe in the Tennessee army was one of the eigh- teen I have referred o.'-Chattanooga News.

THE POLITE MAN AND MORGAN
Didn't Give the Chance to Say the
 Thing He Thought.

J. Pierpont Morgan who is really m excellent raconteur. tells a very good story about man who apparent ly possessed more than an average amount of politeness.
 Hurriedly leaving the office one Sat urday afternoon, the great financier was nearly thrown off his feet by col Hiding with a man who was rushing along from the direction of Broadway Mir. Morgan was about to say some thing more expressive than polite. when the polite man raised his hat and said:
 My dear sir, I don't know which of us is to blame for this violent encoun- ter. but l am in far too great a hurry to investigate. If I ran into you, leg your pardon. If you ran into me, don't mention it."

Warming a Serpent.

The average anarchist is always con- sistent in one thing-he never works. Why, in face of this fact. men who do work-the honest men who belong to labor rnions-will welcome anarchists into their meetings and listen eagerly to anarchist speeches. is one of those mysteries which the ordinary human mind cannot fathom.
 The Central Federated Union of New York was in session few days ago, and in walked John Turner, the Eng fish anarchist. Turner was refused admission to this country by the inn migration officials, and he is at liberty on bail pending the appeal of his case to the supreme court of the United States. The fellow was welcomed as made this speech:
 'I happened to be simply making a speech at a meeting when l was ar rested, and it was not about anarchy. All I said about anarchy was that l was an anarchist, and I say the same here. 1 felt rather complimented that government representing SO,OOO,OOO of people seemed to be frightened at a small man like me, and I was put into a cage with iron bars. at Ellis Island, 9 feet by 6, and stared at like wild animal. I never want to stay where l am not welcome. and am as willing to take hint as any one, but will see the thing through. There is one thing. They may deport me, but they can't deport the works of such progressive thinkers as Emerson, Thoreau and Herbert Spencer, Tn monarchial coun- tries they were not scared at me. Why, when I was in Brussels at the ipterna- tional convention of the Retail Clerks association, the chief of the depart ment of commerce In that city, who was there, paid me compliment on my speech.
 Any one can come to America and propagate mediaeYal ideas, but man with progressive ideas seems to frighten the government,
 Two years ago some one assasslnat- ed the president, but assassination is one of the risks of the trade. when a man becomes president, king. or an emperor. If a republican or demo crat assassinates g president the re- publicans and the democrats are not deported afterward. The wage earn CTS have TO fatherland. They do not trust their governments, but they trust themselves. I believe I will be deported. This is fine country and l am sorry to leave it, but the future belongs to labor, and a condition of things may arise by which I may be able to come back"
 It was reported that of the s3,000 re- quired for Turner's legal expenses s2,- 300 had been raised. It was decided to ask the unions to contribute the rest of the money. And while the unions are contributing from the earnings Of their labor, it will never occur to them, perhaps, that in extending such marked proof of their friendship for an anarchist jawsmith they are waTm- ing to life the most dangerous serpent that labor can know in this country

CURRENT COMMENT
THE AMERICAN HUSBAND.

An American young man does net as a rule look forward to marriage nor prepare for it by saving any coneiler- able portion of his ante-nuptial in- come. When he marries it. is usually on short notice and because he h. 8 fallen very desperately in love with come one and he cannot find it in his heart to wait until cold caution de- clares the venture advisable. Even when an engagement is a long one he usually squanders so much on gifts and entertainments for his fiancee that there is only very moderate amount to begin housekeeping on. Thus be- fore marriage the young American of the middle class begins, to give evil dence of what is to be his chief charac- teristic as husband-hjs unfailing. unselfish and almost irnprovident gem erosity.
 The middle class husband in Ameri- ca rarely interferes with the affairs of the household. He hardly knows thc cost of staple articles of food As d
 rule he does not make his wife a reg ular allowance for household or peg sonai expenses, but gives her as much as he can spare, freely, but with a lack of system that is not conducive to the best outlay of their income.
