A cnnsiderate Muaieian.

Many stories are told of the jealousy and i'll feeling among musicians, so It is refreshing to note that at least one genius did not fail in good natured ap- preciation 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 un- we'll
 Smilingly Rossini reassured 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.

During the rehearsals of a panto- mime in Scottish town (Glasgow, think; Glasgow has always been an eventful place to meD a child was wanted for the Spirit of the Mustard Pot What more natural than that my father should offer my services? I had a shock of pale yellow hair, was small enough to be put into the prop erty mustard put, and the Glasgow stage manager would easily assume that had inherited talent. My father had acted with Macready in the stock seasons both at Edinburgh and Glas gow and bore very high reputation with Scottish audiences. But the stage manager and father alike reckoned without their actress! WA4en 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, MT. Terry" said the stage manager.
 Hang you and your mustard pot, sir" said my mortified father. II won't frighten 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 actressw he said, shak- ing a reproachful finger at me.-Ellen Terry in McClure's Magazine.

Did Rebecca eat gum drops and ice cream and call for soda Water1 Adam was the first and was made perfect from head to heel.

AIns4 Dollar.

A missionary bishop told at a dinner in New York, according to the Sun, this story about F. Marion Crawford, the famous novelist: ...as.
 'Mr. Crawford went to school" he said, 'in Concord, and one day he was taken to call at Concord clergyman's' The clergyman had a missionary box on his drawing room table, and, time hanging heavily on the boys hands, he unused himself with trying whether a silver dollar-it was all the money he had in the world, and he had converted 1t into that gigantic coin for safety would go into the slit in the boXs top It was a close fit, but unfortunately il did go, and the coin slipped out of the embryo authors fingers. There was terrible crash of silver falling among the coppers, and then the boy, as the novelists say, knew no more Wher he came to himself he found the clergy man and his family in raptures over his generosity"

Preferred the Raby's Voice.

A New York scientist, the father of a 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.
 'I 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 l used to sing in the glee club at Yale and sing well, too, may make a 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 a 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 flat next to yours. There's a sick person with us, and he says, if it's all the same to 4)u, would you mind letting the baby tfy instead of singing to itY'-Success.

vou Could Slip of the Edqe.

There was a time centuries ago, of course-when the learned men of the world really thought that the world was a square-not merely flat, but that 1t was a cube. The primitive geogra- .phers of Egypt, Assyria and China all taught that the world was square plane" One of the most curious dis coveries ever made in Central America concerning Tottec beliefs, symbols, etc, is that they also had similar idea concerning the form of what we now speak of as the globe" A writer on the discoveries made among the monu- mental ruins of that country says, '"They (meaning the Peruvians, Toltecs and Quiches) believed the world to be cube, suspended from the heavens by cords of gold fastened to each of its corners"

A Crocodile In a Tree.

An African hunter once found a large crocodile hanging in the fork of a tree about ten feet from the ground. AS the place was fully half mile from any water, 1t was difficult to ac- count for the crocodile's strange posi- ton. When questioned upon the sub 1ect, the natives explained that it was put there by an elephant. It seems that when the elephants wade into tho Lake Ngami to bathe the crocodiles are in the habit of worrying them and bit ing their legs. Sometimes when an elephant is annoyed beyond endurance 1t picks up its tormentor in it's trunk, puts 1t among the branches of a tree and leaves it there.-London Graphic.

rakinn Aha Hint.

At home stations the private soldiers washing is usually done by the mar ried soldiers wives, who are expect ed to sew on missing buttons and do repairs. for which a small sum is de ducted from the private's pay.
 Pat McGinnis had a good deal of trouble with his laundress. Sunday after Sunday had his shirt come back with the neck button off or else hang ing by thread. He had spoken to her on the subject, and she had promised to see to it, but still the button was not on properly.
 He got out of patience one Sunday when the missing button had made him late for parade and exclaimed:
 Bother the woman! I'll see if can't give her a hint this time, any how"
 He then took the lid of tin black ing box about three inches in diane ter, drilled two holes in it wi& fork and sewed it on to the neck of the shirt that was next to be washed When his washing came back he found she had taken the hint. She had made a buttonhole to fit it!-Lon don Answers.

A Pony Sentinel.

During one of General Busters In dian campaigns he had boy bugler with him who was mounted on a cir GUS pony he had picked up somewhere. The animal was not only full of tricks, but he proved himself 8 better sentinel than any of the soldiers. Three times in four months he saved the camp from a night attack when no other suspected that danger was near. Upon one occasion the pony, who was loose and walking about camp, discovered a sentinel asleep on his post That was wrong, and the animal knew 1t was, and he gave the soldier such bite on the arm as caused him to yell out and arouse the whole camp. Pony and boy both died in Busters last battle The pony had twelve arrows in his body when Cincinnati Commercial Tribune

COVENTRY.

Dr. and Mrs. Louis I. Mason of South Coventry had a narrow escape from being seriously injured early Sunday morning at South Coventry. They were returning to their home after making 8 visit at the home of one of the doctors patients. On Bab- cock hill, near South Coventry viii laRe, the automobile in which they were riding struck Q ditch in the road and turned over. Both the doctor and his wife were thrown out, but not seriously injured. They did re- ceive several outs and bruises of g minor character. The machine waf damaged some. The doctor only had his kerosene lamps lit, and these did not throw sufficient light to show uI the road we'll.

c,,+.r..s of oId Time Doctors.

Synge's Social Life In England" ouotes a number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians which indicate that as far back as 800 years ago the medical man, in popular opin- ion at least, had in him the stuff that alienists are made of:
 Suppose you know nothing, say there ia m obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say, May, master, it is my head or legs that trouble me-" Repeat that 1t comes from the liver, and especially use the word "obstruc' tion." for patients do not understand 1t, which is important.
 Never dine with patient who has not paid you; 1t will be cheaper to get vour dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the sur geon's fee.
 When you are treating wound or accident. the friends of the patient should be excluded, for they may faint and cause a disturbance, but some times a higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the like than from the principal patient.

Why rhev're rrams Abroad.

Abroad" said a tourist agent, you must call street cars trans and street railways you must call tramways. If you speak of trolleys over there, you won't be understood. The word trap must puzzle the average etymologist. It derives from a mans name-Outra5H Thomas Outram. Outram lived IF Derbyshire, and in the beginning of the last century he invented peculiar sort of track that diminished the fric- ton between wheels and roadbeds. These tracks of Outram's, though noth- ing like trolley track, were called first outramways, then tramways, and when street lines and street cars came into existence they were dubbed re- spectively tramways and trams."

According to reliable computation, a single tree Is able through its leaves to purify the air from the carbonic acid arising from the respiration of con- siderable number of men, as many as a dozen or a score. The volume of carbonic acid exhaled by a human be- ing in the course of twenty-four hours is estimated at 100 gallons, and sin gle square yard of leaf surface, count ing both the upper and under sides of the leaves, can decompose about a gallon of carbonic acid in day.
