Whx Ha Applauded.

A characteristic anecdote is told of
Cherubini, the most jealous Of the ir-
ritable genus Of composers. He had
been prevailed upon to be present at
the first representation Of the work OF
a confrere, and during the first acts,
which were much applauded by the
public. he had kept gloomy silence.
The third act was less favorably re-
ceived, and a certain passage especial
" seemed to cast a cold blanket over
the spectators, when the old maestro,
to the establishment of his friends. was
seen to applaud heartily.
"Do you really like that duo" asked
one of them. II should have thought
it was one of the poorest and coolest
in the whole opera"
"You idiot" answered the maestro,
with genuine naivete. don't you see
that if 1 did not applaud it he might
possibly cut it out?"

What the Books Cost Him.

When Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll
was living in Peoria he was called
upon one day by General John A. Lo-
gan. The colonel was upstairs at the
time, and General Logan was ushered
into the library. where on table were
three volumes of Voltaire's works. an
edition de luxe representing all that
was best in the bookbinder's art. Gen
eral Logan picked them up one at a
time, absorbed in his admiration of
their beauties. While so engaged
Colonel Ingersoll entered the room.
Colonel" said the general. holding
one of the volumes in his hands. this
is the most magnificent volume have
ever seen. | do not want to seem i'm
pertinent. but would you mind telling
me what these books cost your
Those books" began the colonel, the
twinkle in his eye growing brighter at
each word. ''cost me-the governorship

STAGE Repartee.

Paris actors are very fond Of saying
things to one another on the stage
which will confuse them and make an
answer very awkward. A few days
ago, during the progress Of costume
play, one of the actors who was wear
ing sword knocked the thunder
plates down in the wings.
Thunder plates are sheets OF tin
which are shaken to produce thunder,
and the noise of the fall Of couple OF
them can be imagined. The king. who
was upon the stage, turned to one OF
the pages and haughtily asked, what
ever is that?'
To his surprise the page, who, as
stage pages often are, was charming
young lady in real life, answered,
"Thirty deaf mutes are down below,
sire, asking for conversation with your
majesty"
The king, without moving muscle,
although the audience laughed, replied
"Are you quite certain they are
dumb"
'They say so, SIRE" replied the page
with great solemnity.
"Well," said the king, "they make
an awful noise about it."

His Low Voice.

The late Justice Brewer was presid-
Ing years ago over a civil case in
which one of the important witnesses
was horse doctor named Williams.
The doctor was a small man with a
weak little voice. and the counsel on
both sides, as we'll as the court and
jury. had great difficulty in hearing his
testimony.
During cross examination the coun-
sci for the plaintiff became exasperat-
ed and began to prod and harry the
little man,
"Dr. Williams" he shouted, IF we
are ever going to get anywhere with
this case you must speak up so the
court will hear you. Speak up loud
