A Eool's Identity,

Some of the best known people pass
unrecognized by those to whom they
should be known. Harold Frederick
sat one night at dinner next a man
whose very silence and taciturnity
caused him the more closely covertly
to survey him. Not word was ex-
changed between the two. WHO was
that hopeless idiot that sat next to at
dinner" asked Frederick at the close
of the meal. THAT hopeless idiot was
Cecil Rhodes" he was answered. 1t
was the fact. The Colossus had been
in one of the moods in which he would
not talk. and Frederick. though he had
seen his portrait a hundred times. had
not recognized him.-St. James Ga.

for its cutlery a peculiarly shaped
knife. designed for a variety of uses,
was made with great care and sent to
the agent of the Cutters company in
London. On one OF the blades was en-
graved the following challenge:
London for thy life.
Show me such another knife.
The London cutters. to show TINT
they were equal to their Sheffield
brothers. made a knife with q single

cavity containing a rye straw two
and hsls inches in length. wholly sur
rounded by the steel: yet. notwitb-
standing the fact that the blade was
well tempered. the straw was not

CHEERFUL MENDELSSOHN.
The Pioneer In Good Conducting and
the Boy Joachim.


The art of good conducting began
with Mendessohn. The Leipzig Ge-
wandhaug owes the greatness of its Or
chestra to him. He was hard task
master. but. according to the words of
Joachim. he earned the good will and
respect Of his men by his thorough
knowledge. says the Music Magazine.
He was sane and rational, preferring
a cheerful mood to gloom. Johann
Kruse, formerly second violinist Of the
Joachim quartet. once told little sto-
nv of Memberships conducting in Lon
don. where he was always a favorite.
"Mendelssohn was to bring out the
boy Joachim. then about twelve or
fourteen years of age" he said. eat
that time Joachim played Bach and
Beethoven like a master. He began to
rehearse the MenGelssohn concert with
the orchestra when suddenly with boy
fish impetuosity he turned to the con-
ductor and said, Herr Mendelssohn,
am sure there is a mistake in the or
chestration here
The cheerful and sunny Mendels-
sohn replied, We'll, this is good time
to correc. it. my boy and the error
was found and corrected"
