SCHUBERT'S SAD LIFE.
Shall Have to Sneak From Door to
Door 70 Bea Ny Bread"

One Of the bitterest disappoint.
ments in Schubert's life was
Goethe's indifference. In 1918 he
sent selection of his compositions
to the poets songs to Weimar,
What precious pearls of music were
among the collection-the songs OF
"Mignon" and "The Harpist,' those
from Faust" the sad melodies
Longing" "Nightsong," "The
Wanderers Nightsong," "The Earl
King" "Haideroslein," "The Fish
erman," "The Bard" "The King OF
Thule" and the music to "Claudine
of Villa Bella" Goethe, who had
an ear only for the stiff compost
tions of Zumsteeg and Reinhart,
then in fashion in Weimar, took no
notice Of Schubert's music and left
his letter unanswered. Not until
1s30-after Schubert's death-did
Goethe learn to appreciate the ex-
traordinary value Of the compost
tions that lay neglected in his
drawer. 1t was then that Wilhel-
mine Schroeder Devrient sang "The
Earl King" to him.
IL was Schubert's greatest delight
to make some little excursion with
his friends to the picturesquely sit
uated villages in the Wilnerwald or
on the Kahlenbcrg, and it was in
the arbors Of the small inns, with q
glass Of pure country wine before
him, that inspiration came most
easily. But even these modest de-
lights were imbittcred by the malice
that pictured him as a drunkard
who composed his songs when he
was full of wine. 1t is an absolute
fact that he did not lose the faculty
Of artistic work even under the sad
dcst circumstance. He composed
the greater part of the "Miller
Songs" while he was lying i'll in hos
pital in 1928.
lie was quito right when he
wrote TO his friend kuppclwieser in
March, 1924. "Thosc OF my compo-
sitions which have been inspired by
pain seem to please people best"
And in n letter 10 Baucrnfeld he
complained: "What will become Of
poor mep Like Goethc's harp
player. / shall have 10 sneak from
door TO door and beg my bread"
The only ray Of light that fell into
his dark life was when, through tho
kindness of Count Johann Ester
hays manager. Cngcr, the father
of the famous prima donna, Unger-
Sabaticr, he was appointed music
master In the counts household in
Zclccs, whore he spent some happy
summers. the happicst Of his life.
IL was in Castle Zclccs that he Is
10 have fallen in love with
Caroline, his patrons beautiful
who was his pupil and
who probably never learned tho
secret of the musicians heart,
though IL is strange that one so
gifted and 50 beautiful should not
have married before she was well
into the thirlics. Bitter disappoint-
ment followed this short spell OF
life free Of care.-london Tele-

FEELING overerowded.

1t was doubtless Mrs. Howe's
sympathetic nature" to which she

IMPROVING THE ATTIC.
Suggestions That viii Help In Makirs
Il habitable.

In addition to those familiar uses
Of attics which are so vivid when it
rains or when one is cynical or
moody or inclined to be witty at the
expense of bedposts and warming
pans, there are improved uses an at
tic can be put to and still remain an
attic. The feeling Of attics--that
sense they give of friendly aliena-
tion from the world below stairs
must not, of course, be lost. II one
desires no more than a place in
which to tell fairy tales at twilight
the lighting of a candle might
be change enough in the usual un-
plastered and left over space. But
that is too simple. Besides, the
taste for fairy tales Is not universal,
and it is, moreover, taste more
natural in the nursery than in the
attic. But a habtable attic must
be anything but dingy. A glass
trapdoor, such as one too often sees,
is not enough. There should be a
great dormer window, built low
enough for window seats, and ample
seats at that, large enough TO
lounge in. There should be wide
sills, too, for flowers. for an attic
without flowers would be unimagina-
bic. As for the body Of the room
the chief thing to do where there
are gables would be to insert a
wainscot all around Of, say, five or
six feet in height. Along this could
be put shelves for books or odds
and ends Of whatever kind. A car
pet would be improper, for 1t is ira
ditional that an attic is bare. In
expensive rugs and skins suggest
themselves mechanically. like easy
chairs, a work table and lounge.
The fancy includes a piano, pic
lures, glorious andirons, sconces,
while the imagination leaps to ar-
NOR and cabinets. Yet in n proper
attic the furniture should be little
commonplace with discarded look,
II you will, to be in keeping. Things
half broken down nrc ft for
quaint utility there, and as clothes
once decent on Sunday come to be
so only on Saturday and then on
Friday, and so on, so odds and ends
as they grow familiar and worn in
other parts Of the house have last
use-as old companions in nm attic.

An unlueky Bunols.

On the 2lst OF December. 1885,
Admiral Dundas gave up the com.
mand Of the fleet and returned Ia
England. lie was succeeded by Ad-
miral Lyons, between whom and
Dundas signal parting took place
which will long be remembered as a
standing joke in the navy.
As Admiral Dundas left the fleet
at kamiosch the crews of both Eng
lish and French ships manned the
yards and gave him a parting
cheer At the same moment, by the
desire of Dundas, a signal was run
up 10 Sir T.. Lyons on board the
Agamemnon, MAY success attend
you." to which Sir +. Lyons ordered
to be hoistcd in reply, "May happi-
ness await YOU"
But though in real life hanging
and happiness are generally consid.
cred 10 have no very close connec-
tion. yet in the signal code they are
very much alike, Unfortunately, in
the hurry to reply 10 Admiral Dun
das, the flag for the former instead
Of the latter word was hoisted, and
what was worse the stupid blunder
was not discovered and hauled down
till the whole fleet had seen and read
it.-Pearson's Weekly.

The Orioles Mast.

The orioles nest of itself is q
marvel. What tying, weaving,
plating, molding, binding and shap-
ing into grace and beauty And
what an astonishing place to put 1t
hanging on the ends Of the most
slender twigs of the elm treel And
how much skill it requires to fasten
II there in a way to withstand the
winds and storms! What a vast
difference in form and location be-
tween that and the nest of king
fisher in the bank of pond or of a
rough winged swallow in a stone
wall.-St. Nicholas.

Some years ago a porter named
Fuller employed at Billingsgate
market, London, made a bet that he
would jump from London bridge
tied up in sack, his only stipula-
tion being that he should be provid-
ed with a knife, which he was not
TO open till he touched the water,
with which TO rip open the sack.
He succeeded in accomplishing the
feat and when picked up by some
friends in boat was none the worse
for his dive.

Queer Language.

When he was in Egypt Mark
Twain hired two Arab guides TO take
him to the pyramids He was ia
miliar enough with Arabic, he
thought, TO understand and be un-
derstood with perfect ease. TO his
CONSERVATION he found that he
could not comprehend a word that
either Of the guides uttered. At
the pyramids he met friend, to
whom he made known his dilemma.
II was very mysterious, Twain
thought, why, the explanation is
simple enough" said the friend.
"Please enlighten me, them" said
Twain. why, you should have
hired Younger men. These old fel-
lows have lost their teeth, and, OF
course, they don't speak Arabic.
They speak gum-Arabic,"

The Vinegar Bible.

The "Vinegar Bible" was thus
named from ludierous typograph-
ical blunder, the parable of the

of Luke, being made to read the
parable Of the vinegar" This edi-
tion Of the Bible was published in
l7l7, and most of the copies were
DESTROYED by the publishers, though
several got into circulation before
the blunder was discovered. 1t is
asserted that not more than a dozen
copies Of this book are now In ex-
istencs.

that there is uncertainty in placing
money in a bank. We are also

ment in real estate is always safe,
and men coming from the East
with a draft for 5000 in his pocket,
knowing no man in the West asks:
Where is there a bank in which !
can place my money in safety

gives him the name of the bank he
considers safe. This is an honest
man. Would il not be- well ior the
