Music Writing Maae Easy.

Mile. Sale was In the eighteenth
century the most accomplished and
fascinating balleteuse AT the famous
French Opera. In addition to her 9th
er qualifications. she played and sang
with extraordinary artistic skill and
depth of expression. She once con-
fided to Rameau. the noter musician,
that her ardent wish was to be able to
compose and asked him to give her a
few lessons In the art. Nothing cas-
Ter In the world" Rameau CALAMITY
replied. lie handed her sheet Of pa
per ruled for music and asked her to
take her. valuable breastpin and prick
holes In the lines wherever she thought
proper. After the lady had completed
her task Rameau took the sheet of pa
per. turned each puncture into note,
determined its length, selected a sulta-
BILE key. and the thing was done. This
remarkable composition turned out a
lively piece Of dance music, which
was afterward entitled lies Sauvages
Dams les Indies Galantes" and was
popular in France for a great number
Of years.

Dumas, Wealth and Poverty.

Alexandra Dumas rise to wealth
and luxury was almost as marvellous
as that of his most celebrated hero.
He built magnificent chateau. which
he named Monte Christie. There he en-
tertained all corners. friend and stran-
ger alike, with more than oriental
magnificence and sometimes with ORR
entail mystery. His purse was open to
all who sought 1t. and the day came
when he experienced Timon's fate
without acquiring Timon's disposition.
He could not bectne a misanthrope,
though his fortune disappeared almost
as suddenly as 1t came, and then he
learned the ingratitude Of men. His
last days were passed not In poverty,
but in narrow circumstances. He left
Paris In the fall Of 1870 just as the
German army was closing in to be-
siege 1t and when France was feeling
its deepest woe. To the last he pre-
served his gayety and youthful spirit.

What Every Womanly
Woman Wants

One of the fondest desires of mil
lions of women Is to have beautiful
hair.
This desire can be gratified with
out the slightest risk, for druggists
everywhere, and G. r. Fogg sell
a hair tonic called Partisan Sage for
so cents, that will turn dull, lifeless,
unattractive hair into lustrous and at
tractive hair in two weeks, or money
back.
Put the name on your shopping
list right now, and be sure and get
the genuine. Every package has the
girl with the Auburn hair upon 1t.
Since its introduction In America,
Partisan Sage has won unstinted
praise from women of refinement
who have learned what delightful
and refreshing hair tonic and dress
ing Partisan Sage is.
Just because the makers are abso-
lutely certain that Partisan Sage Is
the only preparation that kills the
pernicious dandruff microbes, they
are willing to guarantee 1t to BAN

Macaulay a. q Child.

Thomas Darlington Macaulay should
perhaps have ranked with the uni
versal geniuses, but 1t is true that his
precocious gift was largely in the d.
rection Of literature. He read inces-
sanity from the age Of three. At seven
he had composed a very fair COM
pendulum Of universal history from the
creation to 1900. At eight he had
written a treatise destined to convert
the natives Of Malabar to Christianity
AS q recreation from this weighty
work he wrote In the same year ro-
nance In the style of Scott In three
cantos, entitled The Battle of Chew
lot" A little later came long poem
on the history Of Olaf Magnus and a
vast pile Of blank verse entitled Fin.
gala Poem In Twelve Books" But
he disliked mathematics and did not
pass his examinations in that subject.
thus standing out among all child
prodigies. His memory was such that
he literally never could forget any
thing and after twenty years could
repeat bits of poetry read only once.
