STOPPED THE OVATION.
Richard Wasner's Peculiar Experience
 In Vienna

Il
 When Wagner was at the height of his popularity he visited Vienna. Baron von Beust, then chancellor of the empire, was informed that the Prussian party intended to give Wagner an immense serenade-a serenade which would have the air of German protest against the tend ency of the ministry to make the union of Hungary and Austria more intimate. The demonstration prom ised to arouse strong feeling. 'four excellency is varned,' said the chancellor's advisers. "It is inn possible to stop this manifestation unless Wagner goes away, and he loves ovations too well. Nothing will induce him to depart"
 "lou think so.' said Beust, with a smile.
 An hour later Wagner was invit- ed to dine with the chancellor. He was flattered by the invitation and accepted it. After dinner, at which Beust was delightfully."- affable and entertaining, the chancellor re- marked: "Herr Wagner, are you interested in autographs? I have some very curious ones to show you" And he opened a portfolio where were letters of Palmerston, Bismarck, Napoleon H., Heine and others.
 Suddenly turning to a paper dat ed 1S4S, he said: "Ah. look at this. It is very curious. What would your friend his majesty the king of Bavaria say if this paper, which would be significant in connection with the political serenade which the Germans are going to give you, should be published tomorrow in the Vienna papers?"
 The composer examined the pa per and recognized with surprise an old proclamation of one Richard Wagner, who, an ardent revolution ist in 1S48, had proposed to the youth of that time to set fire to the palace of the king of Saxony. He saw his autograph and that it might be the means of getting him into serious trouble
 "Very curious, is it not. Herr Wagner ?" said the minister.
 "Very curious, your excellency," replied his guest.
 The next morning Richard Wag- ner left Vienna, recalled to Bai- reuth by urgent business.-Strand Magazine.

AN ALPINE TRAGEDY.
He Won a Wager and Then Lost HiS Life Through Pure Recklessness.

"There Is regrettable modern tendency to disrespect the difficult ties of some of the great Alps, espe- cially those whose ascents have ap- pealed to popular favor. The Wet terhorn, or Storm peak, that huge rock embattled sentinel of the Grindelwald giants, is the most mo- torious example of this.' writes George D. Abraham in the PalI Mall Magazine Truly even on mountains familiarity breeds con- tempt It has been lightly named the Ladies peak, but with far too terrible frequency fearful revenge has been e&torted; its death roll is rqualed by few of the A lps.
 "The following tragedy of 1908 is typical of many others. A young English lady. aided by the best of guides. made one' of the earliest ascentS of the season and innocent ly left silken handkerchief f1ut- tering in the summit breezes. This was noticed through the large tel escope al Grindclwald, and Swiss workman. reused by the sight, wag- cred forthwith that he would bring down the trophy single handed.
 ''He won the wager, but lost his
 life in the winning. Common sense prevailed to the extent of taking companion as inexperienced as him. self, and fortune smiled upon them until they almost reached the foot of the Great Couloir on their re- turn. There the young workman united from the rope and, waving the trophy of success in his hand. started to glissade direct down the snow slope to the glacier.
 ''The friends example and advice to follow the usual descent by the rocks at the side of the couloir were utterly disregarded At express speed he rushed downward until he saw the end of the cou- loir overhanging nothingness and the glacier some hundreds of feet below. It was too late With a shriek of warming to his friend he dashed outward over the edge into space and eternity. The next day the remains were recovered. In his right hand the unfortunate victim of his own folly clutehed the hand kerchief: he brought it down to Grindelwald."

BISMARCK IN A TENDER MOOD.
A Pathetic Incident of the Franco
 PrussIan War.

Bismarck IS always thought of as the Iron Chancellor,. who cemented the German states into one empire with the blood of German soldiers shed in three great wars. But d French army surgeon, Dr. Czer- nicke, in d volume of "reminiscences from which Forest and Stream quotes, most unexpectedly presents him as man who felt and deplored all the horrors of war. The sur geon met the statesman at Rezon- vile during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870.
 "l ou are taking part, sir. in a terrible war began Bismarck to the young man. What beginning for your career! What awful sights. What suffering!
 ''lt is not you or these poor muti- lated fellows that should like to see here," Bismarck continued, ear nestly, "but your senators and dep utiesl They would then see what war is"
 This idea that the war had been forced upon the two nations by pol iticians was ever with Bismarck, ac- cording to pr. Czernicke. He re- ferred to it again on going over the battlefield where, seated on some straw and propped up against pill lar of the church, was one of the French soldiers, very young man.
 He was terribly wounded. A shell, striking him like the lash of whip, had carried away both his eyes and the bridge of his nose, leaving the skull bare. The wound was covered with dressing. He lay there. calm, silent, motionless. in dumb resignation.
 Bismarck stopped in front of him and asked the surgeon about the case.
 "There is war for you, Messieurs the Senators and Deputies" he said bitterly. Then. turning to one of his suit. "Please bring me some wine and a glass"
 He filled the glass to the brim and took a sip. Then, gently tap ping the poor fellow. ~My friend. will you not drink something?"
 The wounded soldier reused him. self. Bending, Bismarck very ten derly and slowly gave him the wine and, rising again, almost solemnlyl drank what was left in the glass.
 "What is your name. my boy, and where do you come from?"
 "Rossignol. from Brittany"
 q am Bismarck, my comrade. and am very proud to have drunk out of the same glass with brave man like you."
 Stretching his hand over the hor ribly mutilated head. Bismarck gave mute benediction and passed on.

What sreathino Amounts To.

In each respiration an average adult inhales one pint of air. A man respires sixteen to twenty times minute and a young child about twenty-five to thirty-five times. While in a standing posture the number of respirations is great CT than when lying down. A man takes only thirteen breaths of air to the minute while reclining. The superficial surface of the lungs is 200 square yards. The amount of air inspired by an adult in twenty four hours is about 10000 quarts. The least amount of air needed by an adult in one hour is 3S0 quarts. The heart sends through the lungs 5000 gallons of blcod daily.

oranae Blossoms.

Much uncertainty exists as to why the orange blossom has been SO much worn by brides, but the gen. eral opinion seems to be that it was adopted as an emblem of fruitful ness. According to some authori- ties. the practice has been derived from the Saracens, among whom the orange blossom was regarded as symbol of prosperous marriage, a circumstance which is partly to be accounted for by the fact that in the east the orange tree bears ripe fruit and blossoms at the same time.

Curious Fishing.

Very curious is the method of fishing followed by the Chinese in the strait nf Malacca. The fisher man lets down from the side of the boat a screen of white canvas stretched on wood. The shoal of fish mistake this for some floating obstruction and try to leap over it. with the result that the fish jump into the boat and are thus captured. This method is employed by Malays in their waters.
