Mozart and Rrstznar.

When Mozart was at the height of his fame he composed the music for Bretzners Belmont und Konstanze" c"The Abduction From Seraglio'O at the request of the Emperor Joseph IT. The author of the drama was so angry at this that he inserted the following notice in the Leipdger Zeitung: 'A certain fellow of the name of Mozart has dared to misuse my drama, Bel mont und Konstanze,' for an opera text. I hereby solemnly protest against this invasion of my rights, and I re- serve to myself further procedure (Signed). Chrfstoph Friedrich Bretz- ner, author of 'Rauschchen.'

The Church of Gold.

There is no structure just like St. Marks in Venice in the world. It's bulb shaped domes and mfnaret like beIfries remind the visitor of the ori- ent It seems more like a Mohamme- dan than Christian temple. In the facade are scores of variousIy coIored marble columns, each one a monolite and all possessing an eventfuI history. Some are from Ephesus, others from Smyrna, others from Constantfnople and more than one even from Jerusa- lem. St Marks is the treasure house of Venice, a place of pride as well as prayer. The work of beautffyfng this old church was carried on for i've cen- turies, and each generation tried to outdo all that had preceded it The walls and roof are so profusely cover ed with mosaics and precious marbles that it is easy to understand why St Marks has been called the "Church Of Gold g

eird,s Nest of Steel.

In the Museum of Natural History at Soleure, in Switzerland, there is a birds nest made entirely of steel There are a number of clockmakng shops at Soleure, and in the yards of these shops there are often found lying dis used or broken springs of clocks. One day a cIockmaker noticed in a tree in his yard a 5ifd's nest of peculiar ap- pearance. Examining it he found that a pair of wagta1ls had built a nest en- tirely of clocks springs. It was more than four inches across and perfectly comfortable for the birds. After the feathered architects had reared their brood the nest was taken to the mu- scum, where it is preserved as a strik- ing illustration of the skill of birds in turning their surroundings fo advant- age in building their nests

rhe Liou nnd the Lamb.

The hardest thing to train 8 wild beast to do is to perform with a weak. defenseless animal. In one of the big circuses some years ago an effort was made to persuade very dociie old Hon to lie down with a lamb. The idea was certainly a good one, but fe took several lambs and also several months before the lion, which was willing to do any kind of trick, would allow a lamb to enter his den with impunity. Twice he killed a lamb in the presence of his trainer, and once he nearly killed the trainer, who tried to pull away the carcass. Finally the Hon would tolerate the lamb in the den just so long as the keeper stood over it with an iron bar. But the perform ance was so evidently forced and BO lacking in smoothness and interest that it was abandoned after two or three attempts.

New Years Resolutions - Cousin Phebe Believe in Them-SmaH Faults May Be Hardest

Now is the season of good reso1u- tions. Every one of us openly or covertiy resolves to change some bad habit, bIit how many a year from noa will look back on an unbroken prom ise record sss
 was greatly interested in reading that King George promised his mother the dowager Queen Alexandra, in 1881 that he would read a. chapter in the Bible each day and never once had he deviated in all this time.
 Now what a king does, we may do- It Is not essential to make prom ise to any one but ourselves. But once we make that promise, let it be as tnvtolate as though the resolution were shouted from the house tops.
 bad habit broken means a fight fuse to relapse into your former ways, your moral nature is strengthened and you will little by little gain in self respect.
 It doesn't follow that this little ser mon applies only to persons having the ways into which we have dropped little by little through carelessness It seems a trivial thing to have to fight against biting the finger nails; Yet and again to stop 1t, without avail. She was rSdiculed, scolded and abjur- telling her how dreadfully her hands looked. She WAS even promised 8 beautiful ring if she would discon- nothing nattered Finally one day, so she told me- without announcing her intention, she determined to stop and she did
 All praise for euoh a fight as she must have fought to conquer some thing so long seated. It was just as great victory as if she had over come the liquor or drug habits, though perhaps the latter sap the moral na- tlare until the victim is too weak to resist and has to be treated for a disease, which these vices unquestion- ably are
 The man or woman who in mo- ments Of stress resorts to stimu1ants, is like the woman who bites her nails when she is nervous. The condi- tions are analogous. the triumph all most equally difficult.
 In our everyday lives there are hab- it's lurking that we want to eliminate at the New Year season. Of course there should be no fixed date for changing from a bad habit to good one, but it is customary to desire to start the coming twelve months right.

In some ways this suit suggests the military costumes of the time of Ma po1eon. The coat opens wide over a loose vest of old rose brocade, which closes far to the side under the edge fthe coat The buttons and loops are made of the velvet, as are the cords, which cross the opening over the vest. Just back of the buttons are shaped insets of the velvet, braided with soutache, a little darker in color. Similar braiding is used on collar and cuffs.

The Critic Criticized.

Whistler once gave a tart answer to a critic of one of the ''nocturnes." This critic said the nocturne in question wasn't good. Whistler screwed his monocIe and grinned at the man
 Don't say 1t isn't good.' he said. Say you don't like it. Then you'll be safer And now come over here Here is something you do lfISe."
 And Whistler led the critic to a side board whereon there stood a whisky bottle.

SMART UMBRELLAS.

Because of the tremendous vogue of veIvets and the number of cos tun1es in that material that are being made up, the velvet incased umbrella has come into being. Made on a slen- der but substantial frame, which folds closely, and covered with a silk taf- feta spread, the umbrella when clos ed and incased appears like walk ing stick of velvet from ferrule to top A solid silver monogram plate caps the handle, which, 10 inches down its length, is ornamented with 2 double ring of silver.
 Decided colOrs are now the smart thing in silk umbrellas All the ia ash- ionable shades of purple, blue mauye and the new reds are in demand for spreads, which are mounted upon frames that press tightly about a slender stick and give the appearance Of q silken cane
 The fashionable fad is to procure a uriuue handle for the umbrella that is carried with the tailored walking Euit. and while some of the effects are artistic, others are actually biza rre Among the latter are the cat. parrot and monkey heads in natural colors

NITA'S NEW YORK FASHIONS
White Fsurs the Rage-Very Becom.
 fng-But Not Economical.

Once on a time it was only the kid dies who wore white furs. We all remember the funny fluffy little tip- pets and muffs of angora with wee heads, which were the delight of the youngsters, used for decoration.
 Grown ups regarded er1nine only as suitable for their wear. Now all is changed, and there never was a time when there was such a rage for white furS to be worn on the street, or for evening functions.
 One of society's foremost matrons, with married grandchildren, appeared at a musical at the Astor in a green and huff of some undoubtedly rare animal, for no one present knew what it was. Of one thing every one was certain, that it was a. costly quad worn by those who ape the styles of grand danes, it did not shed single hair on the gown.
 The huff was enormous Muffs grow larger and larger, no matter what the color of the fur. In some cases, if carried by a slim woman, they cular fur was lined with a wonder fully befri1led arrangement of white satin and chiffon and was further augmented by dozen long tails. These also were used on the shawl scarf.
 The hat to match the gown was a small flat sailors of green velvet trim med with a band of white fur and a close cluster of white gardeniasy and green leaves.
 A novelty in connection with the furs Of the season is the attention paid to the Things. Instead of their being plain or even quilted as of yore, they now are nhirred and combined with ch1ffon and som etlIneS even with rows of Oriental bands. In all the high priced sets the Things are puffed into regular sachet bags and are as frag- rant as VioletS.
 White fur hats have become almost an epidemic. They are seen on Fifth avenue, north and south. In the for rner exclusive section they are made Of white fox and ermine, while in the more 1plelian quarters, hanging on the skirts of s'Thes avenue in name only, they strongly suggest the back yard cat. But they are white and that is the main thing to consider
 The evening coats of white fur are exquisite A wonderfully rich and unusual combination shows a long manteau of smooth white fur, with the giant reVers of some white fluffy fur. These are not expensive save in one particular = they soil too easf- ly to be valuable long.
 The women who buy such coats in all probability do not have to con- place them when their pristine fresh ness has vanished.
 For the woman of moderate means such investment is disastrous. Unquestionab1y the unusual becom- 1ngness of the white fur is what young alike. Even with this lure, if another seasons wear must be con- S1dered it is not well to succurab to their snowy temptation.

For the Women to Think About.

One reason why it pays to buy a first class suit-and this applies to the woman who doesn't have an un- limited supply of clothes - it is that the style will be the latest, and the suit will consequently be worn with better grace and comfort the follow ing year.
 They tell us that the boIero is about to enjoy a revival in popularity. Both for dresses and coats. this style has been greatly favored and the predic- tions are that the renewed vogue will be no less widespread.
