not. It is skilled hand, but its work
makes it rough and chapped. Try
bathing your hands in disinfectants
twenty times a day and you will find
that, look after them as you may, they
will soon be scanned with cracks,
which an east wind often turns to
bleeding cuts. And as they are work

An article in an Italian review con.
tains an interesting story of Liszt and
Rubini, the tenor. They were touring
together and visited a town where
from the preliminaries which had been
arranged, great things were expected.
But they were disappointed, for when
they entered the hall they found only
fifty persons present.
Ribini was furious and said he would
not sing, but Liszt calmed him. you
must sing" he said. "This small audi
ence is evidently composed of musical
connoisseurs. of the town, so we should
treat them with respect" List set
the example with a grand overture.
and Rubini: sang to perfection. Liszt
gave another piece and then addressed
the audience.
Llszt as an orator was as tactful as
he had been in the role Of pacifcator.
Addressing his audience of fifty, he
said: Ladies' and gentlemen"-there
was only one lady present-'I think
that you have had enough music. Al
low me to ask you to- take a little sup
per with U.S." After a few seconds the
invitation was accepted, and Liszt and
Rubini entertained the audience to
supper at their hotel, which cost them
1900 francs.
When the guests separated the hosts
thought the affair had been a joke,
about which nothing more would be
heard, but they decided to give their
concert as advertised on the. following
night. TO their astonishment the hall
was packed. There was not standing
room. The whole town had turned out
on the off chance of an invitation to
supper.

Delicate frost traclngs on the win

Yosemite valley and the great rocks"
like Ell Captain, that wall it in.
Standing one day of late autumn
about the middle of the valley, 1 was
startled by report like a cannon shot,
which filed the whole valley with
echoes that roared and doomed, re-
piled and multiplied. in a long contin-
ued, glorious tumult.
AS the deafening sound died away in
sullen mutterings under the vizor of
Ell Captain I was able to distinguish
the point of attack by the long. clat-
tering descent of vast quantity of
rock.
The night had been a cold one in the
valley, and on the seven to eight thou
sand foot levels of the upper rim the
temperature must have dropped al
most to zero.
Frost, working quietly with his
Archimedean lever, had just succeed

the bowlder fell sheer, swift and 81

The Oxbow correspondent would
like to have some one tell how to kill
Canada thistles. The Blue Hill COR
respondents father owned 73-acre
farm in southeastern Wisconsin for
over so years which became infested
with Canada thistles and he tried
every known method to kill them, but
only succeeded in keeping them in
check by seeding down to timothy
and clover, but as soon as the fields
were plowed again the thistles ap-
peared as thrifty as ever. He tried
sailing them-salted the place where
they grew and let the sheep run
there, and even tried hoeing them out,
but the thistles are still there and
spreading. The best thing, however,
to keep them in subsection is to grow
and cut two crops of clover a year
on the ground and not let any thistles
go to seed.

| pearance OF several of the farms are
marred by the presence of that peskv
weed-the Canadian thistle. Several
methods suggested by agricultural
men have been tried but none seem to
be successful, therefore the only aid
we can give on this cause is, that
whenever the thistles reach a certain
height, say 2 or 3 inches, is to slash
'em down brother; slash 'em down.
This method has been found to be
more effective than many others tried.
A law compelling farmers to cut them
down wouldn't be bad.
