II is the rarest thing to find that any
famous prima donna yer created a
new role of any artistic Importance or
associated herself with the interpreta-
ton of the music of any young com
poser, no matter how gifted. Her
choice of songs in the concert room al
.ternates between hackneyed favorites
and absolutely worthless novelties.
Alone among the great eXecutants, the
prima donna has been conspicuous for
her abstinence from any efforts to
achieve distinction as a composer.
Handel had n short way with the
prima donna, and threatened TO throw
her out of the window If she would
not sing what he had written for her.
Wagner went further, and refused to
write for the prima donna at all. And
Verdi, in "Falstaff." did throw her out
of the window and gave the leading
part to a baritone. To the music lover
the prima donna is a nuisance, and a
very expensive one.--"Diversions of a

The little creature which possesses
the distinction of having more legs

belongs to the family of insects known
as ~millepeds, or thousand footed. There
are several different species of these,

each segment of which is provided
with its own pair of feet. These are
set so closely along the body as to re-

1t Is quite an interesting thing to
learn that some of our best known
proverbs and notices were originally
used iii connection with suDdials. Be-
fore the days OF watches and clocks,
when dials and sun marks were among
the rude ear of reckoning time, IL
was a prevailing custom TO inscribe
them.
Among the maxims traceable to this
source are, Make hay while the sun
Shines" THE longest day must end
and "All things do wax and wane."
Sundials spoke the truth. as may be
Inferred from a historic one which was
placed on ST. Paul's cross. in London,
and which proclaimed, II number none
but sunny hours" This no one will
doubt who has had occasion to consult
a dial ON an overcast day.
A famous dial in Sussex. England,
bore four famous notices applicable to
the flight OF time and the brevity OF
life. They were as follows: After
darkness, light" ALAS. how swift!'
Il warn whist 1 move and 80 passes

Another old suudial spoke petulant-
ly about the same subject in the words,
'Sirrah, be gone about youI business"

Long MINDED Orators.

Edmund Burke's greatest speech is
generally considered to have been the
n on Cancellation with America"
The report Of the speech, supplied by
Burke himself, runs to as many as
thirty-two pages. 1t contains over 30
600 words. 1t, therefore, could not
have been delivered under less than
five hours. 1t is curious, by the way,
how long winded all the great British
orators were in Burke's time. The
older Pitt was the first to indulge In
long speeches In the house of com
mons. After he had delivered one Of
these famous orations he was hailed
by crowds outside the house with en-
thusiastic cries Of three hours and a
half! Three hours and a halfr' "Just
