An Undiscovered interior.

A magazine editor recently re-
turned story to an aspiring con-
tributor.
Immediately the latter wrote an
indignant letter to him, saying that
before sending her manuscript she
had slightly pasted together several
of the inner pages. When the story
was returned to her it was in it's
original condition. She had always
suspected editors of neglecting their
duties; now she was sure of their
carelessness, for her own story had
not been read. To all this the much
berated man made reply:

Is that English people refuse to learn

A PAINTER AND HIS BASSOoN.
Gainsboroush Loved to Play, Though
He Tortured His Friends.

Gainsboroush Loved to Play, Though
He Tortured His Friends.
"Gainsborough's profession" says
one Of his friends, "was painting,
and music was his amusement, yet
there were times when music seem
ed to be his employment and paint
ing his diversion"
He was so passionately fond of
music that he filled his house with
all manner of instruments and per-
mitted his table to be infested with
all sorts of musical professors eI-
cept only bagpipers.
Gainsborough never had appfica-
ton enough to learn his notes thor
oughly, yet he loved melody so
much that he tried his native skill
upon almost every instrument. He
could perform tune on the fiddle,
the guitar, the harpsichord or the
flute. He also took lessons upon
either the hautboy or the clarinet,
but made nothing of it.
According to a biographer Of
Gainsborough, Johann Christian
Bach, a son of the great Sebastian,
who lived for many years in Lon
don, had certain dry and testy hui
NOR. He used to sit and endure
Gf insborough's unhappy efforts and,
laughing in his sleeve, exclaim:
bravo, bravop'
Gainsborough, not at all abashed
at his irony, if indeed he perceived
it, would 90 at it again, laboring
hard at his task. "Now for Pur-
cells chaunt," or "Here is a. bit of
old Bird" he would say.
''Dat is very fine!" cried Bach
when the ordeal was over.
"Now for a touch of old Henry
Lawes," continued Gainsborough.
"Now, dat is too padp Bach
would shout, his patience worn out
at last. 'Dere is no law why de
/ company is to listen to your muir
der of all desc ancient gombosers."
Then he would get up from his
seat, run his fingers along all the
keys of the harpsichord and flourish
voluntaries as if he were inspired.
One day Bach called on Gains
borough in Pail Mall and found
him in his studio, working hard at
the bassoon. The painters cheeks
were pulled out till his face was
round and red as the harvest moon.
Bach stood astounded.
"Pote it away, man, pote it
awayw he commanded. "Do you
want to burst yourself like the frog
in the fable? 1t is only fit for the
lungs of coundry blackschmidt."
"Nay, now," exclaimed Gains
borough, cit is the richest bass in
the world. Now listen again"
"Listenp cried Bach. mine
friendt, l did listen at your door in
the passage, and Ply all the powers
above it is for all the world as the
! veritable braying of a iackass."
"Why, you have no ear for music,
man." Gainsborough exclaimed, "no
more ear than an adder l"--Youth's

Tells Graduates

WASHINGTON. June 11.-Cardi-
nal Gibbons told the graduates of the
Immaculate Seminary at their COM
mencement exercises here that the
world has awakened to the fact that
II is morally sick.
Despite the warnings Of the
church." the Cardinal said, sit con-
tinued to ignore its sickness until
the cancer of open vice spread to such
an extent that the realization of the
seriousness of its condition had to
come. and We see the result in the
present general warfare being waged
against white slavery and its allied
vices
But with the awakening Of the
public conscience has come a better
order of things and the world is adj
vancing along moral lines that each
day makes it a better world TO
