A Matter for Reflection.

1.-THE editor of my paper" declared
the newspaper business manager, to a
little coterie of friends in his office,
as peculiar genius. Why, would you
believe it, when he draws his weekly
salary he keeps out only one dollar
for spending money and sends the
rest to his wife in Indianapolis"
His listeners-with Que exception
gave vent to loud murmurs Of Won
der and admiration. This exception
sat silent, gazing reaeotively ct the
ceiling.

speaker, addressing the reflective
friend; but it is true, nevertheless. ="

Treatment Of Hardwood.

In these days of polished wood
stairs and Railways it is almost i'm
possible, even with frequent polishing.
to keep the wood from getting black.
This is because the dust and dirt
catches in the wax, and fresh rubbine
only buries it deeper.
A good scrubbing with soap powder
every month will remove the dirt, and
it may be scrubbed just as energet
ically as the plainest of kitchen floors.
Then, when the wax is applied with
the aid of the usual heavy polish, the
color of the wood will have returned
in all the glory of its first days.

he gives the people for their money.
Growing hideously. wrinkling his

Yes, the fierce lion assures fine

The timid hon, just when you want

and stink off to the farthest corner of

GREAT CONDUCTOR HAD HuMoR.
Witty and Genial Remarks Credited to
DR.. Hans Richter.

Countless are the stories of the
geniallty of DR. Hans Richter, the ia
nous musician. While rehearsing
Mozart symphony in which the first
violins had number of delicate trills
and turns to perform, these were
played too heavily for Richter, who
said:
please, gentlemen, pianissimo,
Queen Mab-not suffragettes"
Again, when on one occasion Rich
ter was not thoroughly satisfied with
the orchestra rendering of a scene
from Tristan and Isolde" he stopped
the rehearsal and asked for more dig
nifty in the playing, adding that Isolde
was the daughter of king, not Of
cook. On another occasion, while re-
hearsing Tschaikowsky's Romeo and
Juliet" music, the violoncellos had
very passionate melody to play. Rich
tetr was by no means satisfied that
the needful warmth OF expression had
been obtained.
Gentlemen, gentlemen" said he,
S'you all play like married men, not
lovers"
