THE FLONZALEY QUARTET.

The Flonzaey Quartet gave it's second concert
for the season at Mendessohn Hall last even
ing, with Sigismund Stojowski the assist
ing artist, and the pleasure OF the audience
was greater. perhaps. than at any OF their
past appearances, for their playing showed
Improvement, IN tone. precision and spirit.
The concert began with the Beethoven Quartet
in F minor and this followed by the Adagio
from the unfinished quartet of Chausson a wst-
full, indefinite piece of music. which played
with fine simmer OF tone. and by the scherzo
from Dv6rak's quartet, Op. 105. The latter had to
be repeated. The concert closed with Schumann's 8
piano quartet in E fiat with Mr. stojowski at the
plano. lie used the open instrument with discre-
ton. maintaining the balance of the competition
while exhibiting his own command OF tone and
rhythm. But the F1onzaey Quartet is not at It's
best in the classic German music. Its message does
not seem so plain TO them.

BARRIERS Ages Ago.

The first BARRIERS of whom there Is
any record piled their trade in Greece
in the fifth century B. c. In Rome the
first BARRIERS operated in the third cen
fury B. c. In olden times in England
the barber ard the physician were iden-
teal. Thus, a kings barber was also
his chief medical adviser.
In the time Of Henry VIII. Of En-
gland, laws were made concerning bar
bers, Of which the following is an ex-
tract: NO person occupying a shay
ing or barbery in London shall use any

Undoubtedly Frenchmen have the

just arrived here, his clothes were so
Enthusiastically Partisan. l was walk
ing in Broadway when I saw him COM
ing. To my surprise, as he was a stran-
ger to me, he stopped put his heels to-
gether and, taking off his hat, made a
low bow. Pardon, mademoiselle,' said
he, your beneath skirt descends.' Max
ing again the same elaborate bow, he
passed on. l looked down and saw
that my silk petticoat was showing just
a little below the outside skirt. Had
an American man noticed it, he would
have felt embarrassment about men,

he never would have been able to

Ancient COh ms.

The coffins Of the ancient Egyp-
tians were made Of marble and stone.
The Romans used similar receptacles
for their dead, and Alexander the Great
is said to have been buried in coffin
of solid gold. In parts Of England glass
coffins have been found.
The Athenian heroes were buried in
coffins made Of cedar, owing to it's aro-
matte and incorruptible qualities, while
the first record of wooden coffins in En-
gland dates back to the days Of King
Arthur. This monarch was supposed
to have been buried in the followed
trunk Of a gigantic oak. Patent coffins
were invented in 1896, and metallic air
tight coffins We're advertised at Bir-
mingham in 1861.

A Patient Snake.

One does not often attribute the vir-
tue Of patience to a snake. Letters
from a Surgeon however, contains an
anecdote in which it's existence is evl
dent. Doctor Perry, surgeon OF the
Twentieth Massachusetts,, wakened In
camp one morning to find himself tight
ly held in the clutch of Doctor Hay
ward, his senior officer.
Don't move, John, till l say three ="
ordered the senior, sharply. Then
seize my hands and spring to your feet.
One, two, three!'''
At the word Doctor Perry jumped.
and never made a cleaner leap. He
was just in time to see a moccasin dive
under the coat which he had been US
ing for a pillow Armed with sticks.
they dragged the coat away, but saw
only the hole into which the snake had
Glided. The surgeon had accidentally
blocked the entrance to the reptiles
abode, and it had lain all coiled under
the back of his neck, waiting patiently
for him to move so 1t could enter.
