Beethoven's Oddities.

Beethoven used the snuffers for a
toothplck. 1t was one Of his peculiar
tiles that he never allowed his servant
to enter his study. He insisted that
this room should remain exactly as he
left it, no matter how deeply the dust
lay on the precious musical manu-
scripts. He seldom looked in the glass
when he tied his stock. Half the time
he forgot to brush his hair. Every
morning he carefully counted out sew
enteen beans from the coffee canister.
he composed he would pour cold wa
ter over his hands. and often people
below him would complain OF the wa
ter that soaked through his floor.
