After Long Illness.

"The plates on the table looked
strange to me, though I have used
them forty years. The pictures on the
walls seemed to hang in new places.
The very carpets had novel coloring,
as if they had been at some magic
cleansing and dyeing establishment"
Dear Aunt Mary was telling her favor
lite niece her queer feelings after long
Illness. She was unconscious that she
was repeating the story that has been
told by convalescents from the time Of
Hazlitt till the present day.
Familiar things take on a disguise to
the recovering eye. Even the face of
a friend bears a new depth of meaning.
did she use to look at me with such
intensity of gaze? Did she clasp my
hand so warmly? Was her voice so
gentle and her word so full of hope and
courage before 1 was sick?"
To the human creature just returning
to life after lingering for days at the
gates of death the whole world as
sumes a new aspect. Even inanimate
objects seem to say: "You came near
leaving us forever. No wonder you for
got our shapes and colors." And the
warm, conscious, loving friend bends
over us and with eye and voice says,

Mozart,s Musical Memory.

Mozart had a wonderful memory Of
musical sounds. When only fourteen
years of age he went to Rome to as
sist in the solemnities of holy week.
Immediately after his arrival he went
to the Sistine chapel to hear the IA
nous ''Miserere'' of Allegri. Being
aware that it was forbidden to take or
give a copy of this renowned piece of
music, Mozart placed himself in a cor
ner and gave the strictest attention to
the music and on leaving the church
noted down the entire piece. A few
days afterward he heard it a second
time and, following the music with his
own copy in his hand, satisfied himself
Of the fidelity of his memory. The
next day he sang the "Miserere' at a
concert, accompanying himself on the
harpsichord, and the performance pro-
duced such sensation in Rome that
Pope Clement XIV requested that this
musical prodigy should be presented
to him at once.

A Story of Whistler.

One day Whistler entered the atelier
of his class in Paris and found that a
red background had been arranged be-
hind the model. At once he directed
something of duller tone to be substi-
tuted, and he scraped the red paint off
the canvas of one Of the pupils, putting
in it's place another background. But
the red would show through. He scrap
ed, studied and worked laboriously to
get something that pleased him. Fhe
rest of the class surrounded the easel
and eagerly watched the master. He
looked up finally and said, Il suppose
you know what I am trying to dor"
"Oh, yes, STRIP they all chorused. "We1l,
it's more than do" he replied grimly
and left the place.
