Peculiar Life Of Mstastasio, tho csis.
bratsd Italian Post.
Metastasio (1698- 1882, the celebrated
dramatic and operate poet, spent fifty
i've yeans in Vienna with the Marines
family without ever learning German
or wishing to learn it.
Besides his utter Indifference to all
speech but italian, Metastasio possess
ed many peculiarities Of character.
None might mention death in his pres.
ence. Those who alluded to smallpox
before him he made it a point not to
see again. In all his fifty.five years
in Vienna he never gave away more
than the equivalent Of $25 to the
poor. He always occupied the same
seat at church, but never paid for it.
He took all bis meals In the most mys-
FERROUS privacy. His greatest friends
had never seen him eat anything but a
biscuit with some lemonade. Nothing
would induce him to dine away from
home. He never changed his wig or
the cut or color Of his coat.
Metastasio was to have been present.
ed to the pope the day he died and
Haved about the intended interview In
the delirlum Of his last moments. Mrs.
Piozzi (familiar to readers of Boswelrs
life of DR.. Johnson as Mrs. Thrale)
collected these particulars from the In.
dies Of the Marines family, with
whom Metastasio~ was so long domestl-
Gated without speaking or understand
ing word of their language from first

Il Will Crawl to the Top, but Will Fly

A fly on a window pane will crawl

on record that fly crawled up a win

Dogs lie with their fore paws to the

A mouse will ignore food supply
