SUPPER PAID FOR ITSELF
Clever Trick by Which Liszt and Ru-
blnl Packed House for Their
Second Concert.

An article in an Italian review con-
tains an interesting story of List,
the composer, and Rubini, the tenor
Touring together, they visited a town
where a great financial success was
expected. But they were disappointed
for when they entered the hall they
found only fifty persons present.
Rubini was furious. and said he
would not sing; but List Gained
him.
You must sing" he said; this
small audience 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 perfec-
ton. List gave another piece, and
then addressed the audience.
Ladies and gentlemen" he said, i
think that you have had enough music.
Allow me to ask you to take little
supper with u.s."
The invitation was accepted, and
Liszt and Rubini entertained the au-
dience- to supper at their hotel, at a
cost Of twelve hundred 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 establishment the hall was pack
ed; there was no standing room. The
whole town had turned out on the
chance of an invitation to supper.

PAPER MONEY LONG IN USE
Idea That This Particular Medium Of
Currency Is New, Is Erro-
roneous.

Paper money-properly guaranteed
lis now generally recognized through
out the world as the most satisfactory
and convenient form of currency. 1t
is not, however, as is very generally
supposed. a comparatively modern
idea.
The celebrated traveller. Marco Pau
10 of Venice, was the first person to
announce to Europe the existence of
paper money in China under the mo-
guls. 1t was subsequently introduced
by the moguls into Persia, where
their notes were called djaou, or
djaw, a word evidently derived from
the Chinese word schaio, signifying
"a want of specie"
The fact of the moguls having in
China and Persia made use of paper
money has induced the belief that
they we're the originators of it. But
in the history of Tchinghiz-khan and
Of the mogul dynasty in China, pub
lished in the year 1879, the author
speaks of the suppression of the pa
per money, which was in use under
the dynasty CT the Soung, who reigned
in China previous to the moguls, and
he also mentions a new species Of
notes which were substituted for the
old in the year 1854
The original financial speculation Of
the Chinese ministry to provide fol
the extraordinary expenditures of the
state, which we're exceeding the reVe
nues, was in the year 119 B. c. A
this period were introduced the phi-pi
or value in skins. These were small
pieces of the skin of deer. which were
kept in a pen within the palace walls
They we're a Chinese square foot II
size and were beautifully ornamenteC
with painting and embroidery. TIT
price of those skins was fixed at ;
sum equal to about s65.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY



IN the north Of England it was
formerly the custom to punish
wife-beatina, hen-peckins and
other fralIties incident to mar
rled life, by a peculiar process
known as "rldine the stang" II
was 50 called because the leader
was borne on a stang" the
north country word for chair
fastened on two poles. In south
ern England the process Is called
trough music" The offender
was called upon by a company
Of men, women and children and
treated to a loud and bolsterous
serenade, the instruments being
cows horns, fire shovels, tongs,
frying pans, pot lids used as
cymbals, tin pals, and other Inn
pIements and utensils capable
of producing loud and discordant
noises. Along with the din the
serenaders would keep up con-
slant hooting and yelling, and
make many IeerIng remarks to
the cuiprlt. If one application
was not sufficient, the perform
ance would be repeated; some
times, in fragrant cases, every
evening for a week. This form
Of punishment Is known to have
been meted out to wIfe-beaters as
late as 1862, and there is some
ground for believing that the
custom still survives among the
lower classes In some parts Of
England. In this country newly
welded couples are sometimes
treated to a serenade somewhat
resembling the above ceremony,
but it is always good-natured
and does not carry the idea Of
punishment. We call it "chsriV-
arl," pronounced "shiV-a-ree."

year as against disbursements of
roundly s4O.0OO,OOO a year to share

= been taken by the company to in
crease its capital, it is known that
certain inside interests favor larger
capital and consequently smaller divi-
dends. The company is engaged in
litigation with the government, and II
is not thought there viii be any en-
largement of the capital until after
the company shall have disposed OF

Progression in LANGUAGE.

It is possible to tell almost exactly
when the more elegant ''perspire"

Magazine in 1891, for some time past

Great Britain and Ireland. of any rank

gross form of exudation which was
formerly known as sweat Now ev-

For these 20 years past the word
sweat has been gradually becoming
more and more odious.7 Before 1770
