Mozart's Musical Memory.

years Of age he went to Rome to as
sist in the solemnities Of holy week.
Immediately after his arrival he went
to the Sistine chapel to hear the ia.

music. Mozart placed himself In a cor

the music and ON leaving the church
noted down the entire piece. few
days afterward he heard 1t a second
time and. following the music with his
own copy In his hand, satisfied himself
of the fidelity of his memory. The
next day he sang the "Miserere" at
concert. accompanying himself on the
harpsichord. and the performance pro
duced such sensation III Rome that
Pope Clement XIV. requested that this
musical prodigy should be presented

Incident That Changed Them From
Pointed to Rounded Ends.
Table knives are invariably made
with rounded ends. Did 1t ever occur
to you to wonder why they are Of this
shape instead Of pointed. like any 9th
err knife blade?
Perhaps you may imagine that the
ends were rounded as protection to
life and limb In those turbulent days
when men drew their swords or any
other available lethal weapon at the
very slightest provocation.
But this is not the case. The story
goes-and 1t Is fairly well substan-
tiated-that the great Cardinal Richie
lieu had guest to dinner whose man.
ners at the table were very far from
being all that could be desired.
The climax was reached when the
fellow, after finishing the meat course.
began to pick his teeth with his table
knife. at that date made with Il sharp
point. The guest being n man Of birth
and importance. the cardinal could not
openly demonstrate. but next dag he
gave orders that the point Of every
knife in the establishment should be
rounded Off
Before the end OF the century his ex-
ample was universally followed. and
