Dodged the Mustard Pot.

During the rehearsals Of panto-
mime In a Scottish town Glasgow, I
think; Glasgow has always been an
eventful place to meD child was
wanted for the Spirit Of the Mustard
Pot. What more natural than that my
father should offer my services? I had
SHOCK Of pale yellow hair, I was
small enough to be put into the prop
erty mustard put, and the Glasgow
stage manager would easily assume
that I had inherited talent. My father
had acted with Macready in the stock
seasons both at Edinburgh and Glas-
gov and bore very high reputation
with Scottish audiences. But the stage
manager and father alike reckoned
without their actress! When they tried
to put me into the mustard pot yelled
Justify and showed more lung power
than aptitude for the stage.
"Put your child into the mustard pot,
Mr.. Terry" said the stage manager.
"Hang you and your mustard pot,
SIR" said my mortified father. II won't
brighten my child for you or any one
else."
But, all the same, he was bitterly dis
appointed at my first dramatic failure,
and when we reached home he put me
in the corner to chasten me. you'll
never make an actress!' he said, shak-
ing reproachful finger at me.-Ellen
Terry In McClure's Magazine.

Preferred the Baby's Voice,

A New York scientist, the father of
large and growing family, has his
troubles. One evening his youngest
was holding forth in her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child, so the man Of science went to
the rescue.
II think I can quiet little Flora" he
said. "There's no use humming to her
in that silly way. What she wants Is
real music. The fact that I used to
sing in the glee club at Yale and sing
we'll, too, may make difference"
Accordingly, the professor took the
child and, striding up and down the
room, sang In his best manner. he
had not finished the second verse Of his
song when ring was heard. The
door was opened, and there stood girl
Of fourteen, who said:
'I'm one Of the family that's just
moved into the fiat next to yours.
There's sick person with us, and he
says, if it's all the same to you, would
you mind letting the baby cry instead
Of singing to it?"-Success.

A Considerate Musician.

Many stories are told Of the jealousy
and Ill feeling among musicians, so it
Is refreshing to note that at least one
genius did not fail in good natured ap-
probation Of a fellow artist. It is re-
lated how Rossini, walking one day on
the boulevard with the musician Bra
ga, was greeted by Meyerbeer, who
anxiously inquired after the health of
his dear Rossini.
Bad" answered the latter. Fright
full headaches, legs all wrong"
After a few minutes conversation
Meyerbeer passed on, and Braga asked
the great composer how it happened
that he had suddenly become so I'M
we'll.
Smilingly Rossini treasured his
friend. 'Oh I couldn't be better. /
merely wanted to please Meyerbeer.
he would so like to see me go to
smash!'-St Louis Republic.
