Tho Spleen.

The spleen? Up to 1900 no physician
dared to stand up in clinic and tell
what 1t was made for. For ages 1t
was supposed to be the organ of irascl-
bility. "Oh, his spleen is upr meant
that the old man was hot in the collar.
Curious thing, that spleen. There is
a herb called "spleenwort," which was
supposed to remove such splenetic dis
orders as Ill humor. melancholy and ir-
ritability. l saw spleen the other
day for the first time and was astound-
ed. 1t was soft, highly vascular,
plum coiOred thing with smooth sur
face. 1t was nearly six inches in
length and weighed seven ounces. Now
here is the funny feature of the spleen:
After hearty meal it is very much
smaller than at other times, which
may help TO explain why q man is
good natured after dinner. In diseased
conditions the spleen may reach a
weight of eighteen or twenty pounds

MUSICAL TYRANTS.
Trials of the New York Hcstoss who
Hires operatie Singers.

Not so very long ago soprano who
had been engaged to sing at one of the
largest houses on Fifth avenue, with
her maid, was ushered into the
room reserved for the artists. She
was slow In removing her wraps and
concluded after she was part of the
way out of them that it was time for
the hostess to welcome her.
So she told her maid to put them on
again after she had inquired of one OF
the servants where the lady was.
When he saw the preparations for de-
parture he rushed in haste to the
hostess.
She had been detained ut the dinner
table. as a dinner of very elaborate
character was preceding the musical.
1t was difficult for her to leave her
guests. She reached the hall, however.
just as the singers ample form was
disappearing through the portiere.
"Ah, Mrs. Smith," the singer said.
''Then am in the right house? l was
going out to tell my coachman we had
made mistake. else You would have
been at the door to meet me-"
The hostess looked as If she would
like TO speed her flight into the open,
but her guests We're soon to arrive.
and she did not dare risk offending the
star attraction at her biggest party of
the season.
Some of the singers make 1t condi.
ton that no other woman shall be en-
gagged and no musicians of any kind
without consulting them. young
hostess sent ont cards TO invite her
friends to hear great prima donna
sing. Afterward she heard from her
friends of all kinds of wonderful per-
formers that she might also have en-
gagged.
As the money qHestion played no
part in her plans the young woman
began TO engage them. By the time
the night of the party arrived she had,
in addition TO the soprano, a band of
choir boys who would look beautiful
maj ching down her marble stairway,
a band of Venetian gondollers who
would be charming at the entrance to
the music room caroling Santa Lu-
cia," baritone who sang beautiful
love songs in excellent French and n
voice as soft as pomadc. girl who
could pound the piano with the best of
the men players and a quartet that
played antique music on near antique
instruments.
The prlma donna arrived and beheld
in the artists' room this Job lot of mu-
steal entertainers. The hostess hur-
ried in to greet her.
But surely" the prlma donna said.
you don't need me when you have so
much for your GuestsT'
The singer was in earnest. She was
perfectly willing to 90 home and lose
her $1,000 fee rather than be part Of
such musical vaudeville as the mex
Derienced hostess had planned. Out of
gratitude because she consented to re-
main to make the party success. the
young matron sent the prima donna q

shoeina the Geese Eor Market.

The Wilma province of Lithuania
is probably the only part of the
world in which geese are shod. This
district is famous for geese, which
are driven on foot to distant mar
kets. To prevent the birds from
getting footsore on the journey
they are made in the late autumn to
practice The ''goose STEP" first in
tar and then through fine sand. The
geese are thus provided with per-
fectly fitting pairs of boots, in which
they can comfortably perform the

MOTHER.

There is a name,
Ali such a name,
Around which all others hover:
Which all revere
As sweet and dear,
The sacred name of mother.
In childhood's day,
Midst mirth and play,
When nothing does US bother.
Oft not we hear,
So sweet and clear,
The warningvoice of mother.
When youth is on
And childhood's gone,
And love begins to tether;
Il we would turn
What could we learn
From the advice of motherl
ButNwhen as men
w Hdb Sne 5 Guou
Has tongue the power to utters
What thoughts arise
AS moments fly,
Of her who is our motherl
When all is clear
And time SO near
When we shall lose our mother;
OH what will we
When parted be,
Do here without a mother?
To mother dear
Be always near,
And not from her be riven
And write that name
With might and main
On earth, in sky and heaven.
