A Wonderful Wife

A guileiess old Scotch minister one day told some boys of the Bible lesson he was to read in the morning. The boys, finding the place, glued together the connecting pages, The next day the preacher read to his astonished congregation that "when Noah was 12O years old be took unto himself wife, who was (then turning the page} l4O cubits long, 10 cubts wide, built of gopher wood, and covered with pitch inside and out"
 He was naturally puzzled at this. He read it again, verified it, and then said: My friends, this is the first time I've read this in the Bible, but 1 accept it as evidence of the assertion that we are fearfully aud wonderfully made"

He WANTED REST.
What Verdi Did With the Key Of .
I Locked Piano.


Not all the great composers have
courted the constant adulation Of the
world. Verdi used to- lament that he
was unable to find q refuge, even for
a brief space, from the reputation that
preceded him wherever he went. g.:
At one time he desired to spend a
much needed holiday at the watering
place of Montecatini. When he arrived,
he found that in one Of the apart
ments assigned to him stood grand
piano Of noted make. On the rack,
by way Of compliment lay the score of
I'll Trovatore." AS soon as he caught
sight Of It the veteran few into a rage,
hastily locked the instrument, threw
the score into corner and, calling for
his host, demanded in tragic tones: %'
LEAD me to the spot that overhangs
the steepest precipice"' = + 49,,
Wondering, the host did as, he was
hidden, and on reaching the summit
the maestro, who was almost exhaust
ed from fatigue, flung the key of the
piano into the abyss, energetically ex-
claiming as he did so: ~
'Now I have done something to Sc
cure rest and quiet. On the day of my
departure l. shall send locksmith to
provide the piano with new key, but
while am here I pray you let It re-
main assit is."-New York Tribune. ,,;

Miss Maude Potter, one of the most enchanting little actresses, has in for ty-eight hours danced her merry way into the hearts of the patrons of the Majestic Theatre, there to remain firmly entrenched forevermore. Her impersonation of Capitola in The Hid den Hand, is piece of work of which the most famed actress in the world might be proud of, and 1t alone is suf- fcient to crowd the theatre at every performance. The play itself is fine strong drama, full of sincere sentiment and bubbling humor, and given as 1t is by an uncommonly strong company, 1t may be classed among the best at fractions of the season.-Peoria Her aid Transcript, Sept. 21.
