Wanted Double Allowance.

An army surgeon relates the sto-
ry Of a soldier who had been in the
hospital and kept on low diet for
quite awhile. Naturally he yearned
for good square meal.
One morning the doctor found
him so much better that it seemed
his longing appetite could be safe
ly gratified.
"Could you eat a small chicken
today, my man." the surgeon in
quired.
Indeed, could, sir" eagerly re-
sponded the patient.
"And what would you like to have
it stuffed with2"
"Well, sir" replied the hungry
soldier, 81 should like it stuffed
with another" -Philadelphia Ledg-
or.

An Innocent AeeompIlee.

Residents in a certain West End
avenue block are surprised at the
suddenly refractory disposition Of
the postman on that beat. Time
was when he obligingly stopped and
delivered letters to persons whom
he met in the street. Nowadays all
such requests are answered with a
stubborn denial. About two weeks
ago that neighborhood was thrilled
with news of an elopement. Upon
investigation it turned out that the
match was made by means Of clan
destine correspondence which was
carried on with the postman's aid.
The young man and woman in the
case wrote the letters, but the post
man handled at least half of them,
and by allowing himself to be vince
died into giving them up to the
young woman half a block away
from her own door he prevented her
family from finding out what was
going on. The enragcd parents are
now denouncing him for completely
in the scheme, which accounts for
his'Sudden reformation.-New York |

than 200 seamen and large num-

Mozartis Memory

Mozart had a memory for music
and for nothing else. On attending
the papal mass at the Sistine chap
ell he was greatly impressed with the
musical service and asked for a copy,
but was told none could be given
him, as the music was not allowed to
go oft. He went to the next service,
listened attentiyely, went away and
wrote down the whole from memory.
When "Don Giovanni" was first per-
formed there was not time to copy
a part for the harpsichord, so Mo
Fart conducted the entire opera,
about three hours long, and played
harpsichord Accomplishments to the
songs and choruses without a note
OF music to assist his memory.

THE GYPSY MOTH.
How q Careless Frenchman's Expert
ments Led to Trouble.

How Careless Frenchman's Expert
ments Led to Trouble.
On a certain i'll omened day in
1859 a gentle breeze rippled through
the streets of quiet town in east
ern Massachusetts,. 1t left chimneys
unframed and hardly rippled tree,
yet if it had been a cyclone it could
hardly have done more damage, for
in bare little frame tenement
house on a side street stood Pando-
ra's box full of troubles waiting to
be spread broadcast over the land,
and the breeze furnished the need
ed key. Presently the owner of the
house and of Pandora's box, ;.
Frenchman, known to his neighbors
for his curious experiments in silk
raising and for his absorption in the
study of strange insects, was seen
searching anxiously in the grass out
side his window. People who saw
him said that he seemed much dis
turbed at the failure of his quest.
Well might he be, for he had Just
let loose one Of the plaques Of Egypt
upon a fair and fertile land. He had |
lost "le zigsag," and the new world
gained the gypsy moth.
Mr.. TrouyelOt, the silk grower of
Medford, can hardly expect to have
his name pleasantly remembered
among his quondam townsmen and
'ountrymen, but he should be given
:redit both for intelligence to fore
zee the consequences of his negli-
rgnce and for the candor Immediate
y to give notice of the danger to
which the public was exposed. But
lis warning fell on deaf ears. No
ne realized that the pest, which is
nuisance rather than a danger in
Europe, would gain such Roadway :
0 new home, and, freed from its
ereditary enemies, was to devastate ]
'herever it went. 1t would have
cen economy, if the future could ;
ave been foreseen, to appropriate !

as "Berlln's wash Kitchen" on &C.
count of its numerous laundries. At
q public meeting there, mainly at

stigmatized laundry owners as .spa

was regarded as libelous by the own

months imprisonment. Frau Tietz,

insert an apology in the press to tbs

THE PLATO FAD.

A new phenomenon is about to h
witnessed in English life, says the
London Express. Having tried palm
istry, crystal gazing, Christian Sci
ence, bridge and party politics, so-
ciety is about to study Plato. A
dozen or so Of The leading women
Of the aristocracy, including the
Duchess OF Sutherland and the
Duchess Of Marlborough, have form
ed a committee to organize the
philosophic movement, and DR..
Emil Reich, the well known histo-
RAN, who lectures in the London
university, is to give a series of adj
dresses at Claridge's hotel, to be fol-
lowed by discussion, in which the
peeresses will take part. 1t is ex-
pected that this will be merely the
prelude to the formation of philo
sophie circles in other grades of So
ciety and that the study of Plato
viii before long become an establish,
ed feature of London life.
