How Liszt Played.
From s%cribner's.

I think 1t was in 1910 or 1S41, in
Manchester, that I first heard List,
then a young man of %. At that time
he played only bravura piano compo-
%sitions, such as the "Hexameron'' and
Hungarian March of Schubert, in G
minor, arranged by himself I recollect
his curious appearance, his tall,
lanky figure, buttoned up in a
frock coat, very much embroidered
brushed straight down below his col
lar. He was not at that time a gem
eral favorite in England, and l remem-
Der that on this occasion there was
rather a soc house A criticism Of
this concert which I have preserved
from the Manchester Morning Post will
give an idea of his wonderful playing.
After some Introduction 1t goes on to
say: H played with velocity and i'm
petuosity indescribable, n yet with
a facile grace and pltancy that made
Of thought than the result Of mechani-
cal exertton. thus investing his execu-
ton with q character more mental than
physical, and making genius give ele-
walton to art. One Of the most %electri-
flying points Of his performance was
the introduction of a sequence Of thirds
iii scales, descending with unexampled
-anidly: and another. the volume of
tone which he rolled forth in the exc
cution Of a double shake. The rapture
Of the audience knew no bounds" etc.
I fancied I saw the piano shake and
tremble under the force OF his blows in
the Hungarian March" I regret that ]
never had an opportunity of hearing
him later in life, when I am sure ]
should have had more pleasure both
In his playing n his programs.

John Wesley in America.

In Harper's, Nehemiah Curnock
writes Of the recently discovered Jour
nails of John Wesley, which give among
other details Of the great preachers
life, a new view of his visit to America.
THE whole period of Wesley's life
from the hour Of his e~mbarkation at
Gravesend to the day of his return from
America Is now revealed with afullness
Of detail never hitherto attained. New
and much fuller versions of his Journal
hav come to light, and have been
woven into the versions which he him
self printed. These We're written for
the information Of relatives and friends
In England. They are complimentary
Of one another, and are rich in living
interest. They describe tragic events
in Frederick, and clear away all the
obscurities that have hitherto envel-
oped the famous love story which in
~cidentally brought Wesley's transat-
lantic career to an end. But to AM
'erican readers the Diary is a much
more interesting and informing docu-
ment. 1t Is not only a daily record of
personal doings and happenings, but,
for nearly all the days. an hourly rec
ord. 1t begins with ~scrupulous exact
ness at the hour, or rather at the
minute, Of awakening-four or five in
the m~orning-and continues with I'M
broken regularity Town the yellow page
to nine or ten o'clock at night. During
the whole of his residence in Georgia
Wesley slept on bare boards and fed on
the plainest vegetarian food-as a rule
on bread. He drank neither wine nor
beer. His first act on landing was to
smash the rum casks and to impose
upon himself and his comrades-all
members Of the Holy club a vow of
abstinence. Nc trace can be discovered
Of a single day or hour given to res
action. All his reading. his CONVEX
~sation, his writing, even in the gram
mars and catechisms he compiled, were
religious. The nearest approach to rec
reative reading that I have been able
to discover in the diaries Is Milton and
Plato. The diversions Of earlier years
tennis, cards. shooting, and the like
are conspicuous by their absence,
Even when shaving he 'meditates.'"

Her scalp Itched Intolcrab1y

Her Scalp Etched Intolcrably.
Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared OF my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when |
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most Of the
time there was an inrolerable itching.
In a painful. burning way, very much
as a bad. raw burn, If deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because OF the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. l was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, / would
scratch the worst places SO that my
fnger-tips would be bloody. | could
not sleep we'll and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then / would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheuIn.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, l now decided to
order a set Of the Cuticura Remedies
gCuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left of,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. 1 com
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp l used about one-half a cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box Of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time took six or seven bottles Of Gu
ticura Pills n the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or tedi-
Gus treatment. Since then I have had
no scalp trouble Of any kind. Stand.
Ing up, with my hair unbound, 1t
comes to my knees and had 1t not been
for Cuticura l should doubtless be
wholly bald.
This is a voluntary, unsolicited tes-
timonial and take pleasure in writ
ing 1t. hoping my experience may help
someone else. Miss Lillian Brown,

with the spirit OF manly cheer;
The world Gehghtssin the mar who smiles
when his eyes keepsbnck the tear;
1t Y the nan who, when things go
wrong q take his place and stand
With his face to the fight and his eyes to
the light, and toll with asswiHing
hand;
The manly man Is the country's need.
With a heart that beats to the pulsinE
tread of the lilied leagues OF truth;
The world Is his and It waits for him and
1t leaps to hear the ring
or the blow he strikes and the wheels he
turns and the hammers he dares Ito
swing;
It likes the forward look In his face. the
poise of his noble head.
And the onward lunge of his ~tireless will
n the sweep of his dauntless tread;
Hurrah for the manly man who comes
with sunlight on his face,
And the strength to do and the viii to
dare and the courage to find his
place!
The world delights in the manly man, and
the weak Inc evil flee,
When the manly man goes forth to hold
his own on land or sea!

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
President Faunce Saws American Col,
leae Graduates Are Hiterate.
From the Chfcaro Ynter-Ocnan

- ~ ~
That the American people are mur-a
dering their mother tongue and one Of
the great opportunities for reform at
the present time Is to teach them to
reverence and prize the English lam
guage and also to speak and write It
decently, was the opinion expressed by
President Fs.unce, of Brown university,
at Chautauqua, N. Y. He did not spare
the American colleges in his general
a-rraignment and declared that they are
turning out an alarming proportion OF
graduates who are actually tlliterate.
Il should like" he said, ..to see the
colleges of the country join in an ef-
fort to induce the American people to
write and speak the English tongue
idecently. The colleges are not doing
1t now. 1t is a fact that the colleges
of this country are sending out IL
literates. Many of our college seniors
can not write a decent business letter.
Large numbers Of them can not ex-
press themselves in writing SO as to
he understood. We Americans should
link u minds n hearts n hands
in an effort to preserve this mother
tongue which is our definite intellectual
heritage. We should prize English
speech and English literature and pass
on this heritage of the past to the
children of the future"
President Faunce said that he had
been surprised and shocked recently
when he mentioned the name Of Pro-
fessor Huxley to a group of Brown
students and no one knew whom he
meant.

No Fireproof Buildings.
From Popular Mechanics.

There Is no such thing as an abso-
lutely freproof building These words
are from an editorial in the Fireman's
Herald, which also adds: Promised
security from fire cannot be guaran-
teed.' This assertion will come as a
surprise and disappointment to the
general public which has come to re-
gard certain modern structures as per-
fectly safe SO far as danger from fire
IS concerned. The article from which
the quotation is made was suggested
by the burning out of several floors
and the serious damage to others in
the recent fire in a large apartment
house in New York city, acknowledged
to be one of the latest and best types.
1t is true the exterior of the building
did no present a decidedly wrecked
appearance after the conf1agration.
THE expectation that a fire would
be confined to the room in which it
started, or to that floor, at most, proved
g. mistake. Apartments contain, and
are usually overcrowded with, furni-
ture and articles Of an extremely in
commenced 10 bia1e the hea: was Sc
intense as to extend to the floor above
and cause another fire there, and SO
on to the top. The control and subju-
cation of a fire in n large building
chiefly depends upon the carrying out
OF the architects plan to confne the
fire. This contemplates the closing of
all doors and windows; but when oc-
cupants are making a hurried exit,
many OF them fall to observe the rule.
As long as our rooms continue to
be nlled with inflammable articles, just
30 long will u fireproof apartments
be little more than slow burning, al
though that condition Is a decided step
IN advance, and ordinarily would enable
the escape of the o~ccupants

Carving the Grand Canon.
From Harper's WeakJv

FfUHI 11dIPef WEEKLY.
The popular idea that earthquakes
and volcanic explosions played a part
Colorado river is thought by the best
authorities to be without foundation.
We are now told that the canon was
cut out entirely by the water of the
river, and that the most effective tool
employed was the quartz sand brought
down from the sources Of the river in
the mountains. The sane Is harder
than any of the constituents Of the
rock strata in which the canon has been
carved. Hurled by the swift water
against the swift sides and the bed

easily as a file cuts soft iron.

I would be afraid to go into the water
for them myself"
II will have some rose leaves for des-

am so fond of rose leaves, but how am
I to get the fish eggs" she thought.

Bug.
Can l go, too?' asked little Willie
Treetoad.
"of course you can" said Jack. but
you cannot swim"
We'll, maybe I can't SWIM" said
Willie, but I may be able to help you
get the fish eggs just the same"
All right" said Jack, Tets hurry"
