TRIALS OF A COMPOSER.
now Ieoneavallo Got Hearing For
His Opera "paoliacci."


How little those who 90 to a
successful opera and see the smiling
composer think of the mental, if not
physical, suffering through which he
has very likely gone before arriving
at tame. For instance, Leoncavallo
and the "Pagliacci" are taken as a
matter of course, but the recogni-
ton of the opera was obtained only
when despair was knocking at the
door of the composer.
Several years ago Signora Lison
Frandln had just made her first sue
cesses as singer when one day a
friend came to beg her good offices
with the great Sonzogno, who is
such power in the musical world,
for an unknown genius, whose opera,
the "Pagliacci," was driving him
mad because he could not get it ac-
cepted. The friend drew touching
picture of the young man, who had
sent his opera to Ricordi, Sonzog-
nos great rival, who had pigeon
holed it and had forgotten it, while
the young composer was eating out
his heart.
Nine. trandin required a great
deal OF persuasion, as Sonzogno was
difficult" and had just declared
that he would not even hear any
more new operas. However, she in
the end gave way, was herself won
over on hearing the music and spent
a couple of fatiguing hours in argu-
ing with Sonzogno. To get rid of
her he consented to hear the score.
The young composer came with a
timid, almost supplicating, air be-
fore the terrible and taciturn one
and was received with a GOODNESS al
most glacial.
Leoncavallo at once seated him
self at the piano, while Sonzogno
walked the floor, and those present
waited anxiously for a sign Of inter
est, which they knew would be a
pause in the dreadful promenade.
The first act was passed, and still
the tramp, tramp went on, the com
poser scarcely being able to strike
the notes. In the second act the
longed for pause came, the prone
made was over, never to be resumed
where Leoncavallo is concerned
Thus the 'FPagliacci'' was born, and
the composer took his first step to-
ward Roland" and Berlin. - Pal

The young man, says the New
York Times, was of that peculiarly
embarrassing age when the male
voice changes.
He had gone into store and in
a tone that was one moment prom

was ordering some collars.

been on the sidewalk, whence came the
noise of the arrival of the bridal party.
A dozen young men and women came
bOisterously into the bar and ranged
themselves along the sides of the room,
with their faces turned toward the

managed to get Romano out of the din
ing room by a fake message, and he
nearly murdered him in the small room
back of this one at the end of the pas
sage. Romano walked in there unsus-
pecting, and Nicola crept in after him,

rushed in and grabbed Nicolas arm.

My thoughts leaped to Nicola. but De-

his place, and there was a sudden ourse

Marta entered the room. She advanced
without embarrassment and took
place not far from the foot of the taple
and nearly opposite me.

crude than his and without the touch

we sympathize with a girl in such cir
cumstances when she really ought to
be congratulated.
Marta leaned against the wall of the
room at the point which would be least
conspicuous from without. Evidently
she wished to see the bridal procession
pass into the banquet hall and not her
self be seen. There was the voiceless
pain of a dumb animal in her eyes, the

THE APPLE.
Famous In All Ages From the Most
Remote Periods.


From the most remote periods the
apple has been the subject of praise
among writer's and poets. The allie
gorieal tree of knowledge bore APP
pies, and the fruit of the orchards
of Hesperus, guarded by the sleep
less dragon, which it was one of the
triumphs of Hercules to STAY, were
also apples.
Among the heather gods of the
north there were apples tabled to
possess the power of comforting i'm
mortality, which were carefully
watched over by the goddess Iduna
and kept for the especial dessert of
the gods who felt themselves grow
ing old.
As the mistletoe grew chiefly on
the apple and the oak, the former
tree was looked upon with reverence
by the Druids, and even to this day
in some parts of England the Gus
tom of saluting the apple tree in
the hope of good crops fingers
among farmers.
The apple is most perfectly nat
uralized in America, and in the
northern and middle portions of
the United States succeeds as well
as or, as we believe, better than in
any other part of the world.
No fruit is more universally liked
than the apple. 1t is exceedingly
wholesome and incidentally is con-
sidered cooling and laxative and use
full in all infammatory diseases. As
the earliest sorts ripen about the
last of June and the latest can be
preserved until that season, it may
be considered as fruit in perfection
the whole year.
Besides its merits for the dessert,
the value of the apple Is still greater
for the kitchen, and in sauces, pies,
tarts, preserves and jellies and roast
ed and boiled this fruit is constant
and invaluable resource of the kitch-
en.-New England Grocer.
