Chopin's Likes and Dislikes.

Bach and. above all, Mozart were
Chopin's ideals, Ills gods" Hum
mel. Field and Moscheles were his
favorite pianists. Fields nocturnes
were greatly priced by him. He ad-
mired Schubert, though not without
reserve. Weber and Beethoven
only partially satisfied him. He dis
liked much Of Mendelssohn's music
and found still less to praise in
Schumann, never using any of his
pieces in giving his lessons. He dis
approved of Berlioz, and, while he
liked Meyerbeer personally, he
heartily disliked his music. Liszr
says tru'y nat Chopin sought in the
great masterpieces only that which
corres $ondcd with his nature.

and dictated a letter to the school
board explaining to them that they
must have made mistake. Sudden
ly he looked again at the name OF
the town. Then be lit a cigar and
thought. Then he laughed.
"Why not?" said he. II can spare
a month to see."
With this Delphic utterance he
tore up the answer that his stenog-
rapher had brought him, shut down
his desk and told his manager that
he had been called out of town and
would be away for some time.
When the Silent Bell entered her
schoolrooni oD the first morning
after the holidays she found on her
desk typewriter request to report
at the principals Office at once. She
ran lightly up the stairs, opened
the door of the Office and found
herself face to face with Allerton.
"Good morning, Miss Edwards" /"
said Allerton blandly. ~ would
like to consult with you about some
of the details of this school system.
I trust 1 may count upon your CO.
operation during my. principalship
here"
"John Henry Allerton," said
Belle, "what are you doing here"
EN1y good looks" answered he
gravely, appear to have procured
me this position. 1 am here"-this
with great dignity-"to fill my po-
Sition."
"Good looks" queried Belle.
GAS represented by the photo
graph l sent you during the hol-
days." explained Allerton.
The light of comprehension be-
gan to dawn upon Belle. Being a
woman, her intuition helped her to
a solution of the problem, and she
realized that this was really not a
joke of John Allerton's.
Il really thank you" went on Al
lerton, "for your extreme kindness
in recommending me. I hope you
do not already regret it."
Belle remained silent. She was
struggling between belief that she
ought to tell Allerton that she had
not taken this method to let him
know she forgave him and wish to
let him know she still cared.
'Belle," said Allerton, becoming
earnest, II found out from your
brother what had happened. As
soon as 1 arrived here I hurried to
him and discovered the mistake we
had made. 1 got him to keep my
secret. We suppressed my competi-
tors photograph in sort of crimi-
nal conspiracy, but l shall not keep
him out of LIS position long-that
is, if some one will 60 back with
me to where l belong. | can find
out about that if some one will tell
me how she likes the original of the
photograph that she didn't get"
Belle bIushed, but said nothing.
''Perhaps," said Allerton, smil-
ing, but very, very anxious, "you
would prefer to have me as a prin-
cipal."
"No, indeed" said the Silent
Bel, and then, realizing what her
reply meant, she covered her face
and tried to escape from the room.
But the principal was swifter
than she was. The, school board
would have been shocked if the sub
sequent brazen actions of the new
ruler of their school could have
been seen by them.
He, however, did not care. The
Silent Bell did not object, and John
Henry Allerton would have kissed
her at that moment despite all the
school boards in the world.
$50 YOU surrendered, after all,
without getting that photograph! p
said he inhumaneiy. And Belle only
nodded and blushed, with happy
tears in her eyes.

ISLANDS TO ORDER.
Iuilt Up on Coral Reefs That Tower
Near the Oceans Surface.

Near the Oceans Surface.
Building an island in the sea is
not quite so difficult as it sounds.
One must have a foundation of
course-a coral reef for preference.
Given this and also an unlimited
supply of native labor, island build
ing in comparatively calm and tide
less waters becomes easy.
The usual plan is to choose
coral reef, which must not be sub
merged more than three or four
feet. A raft is first constructed
and anchored near the center of the
reef, where the water is shallowest.
To this coral, torn from the outer
fringe of the reef, is brought and
piled up pyramid fashion to form
the nucleus of the island. Lastly,
earth is carried in canoes from the
nearest land and spread over the
coral, cocoanut trees are planted
and houses erected.
Shipwrecked British sailors once
built for themselves an island of
refuge after this fashion. In 1884
the Queensland labor recruiting
schooner Stanley was cast away and
battered to pieces on the 1ndispen-
sable reef, which is completely sub
merged and situated more than 800
miles from the nearest inhabited
land.
The plight of her crew seemed
hopeless. But instead of giving
way to despair they set to work to
manufacture an island on the lines
indicated above and lived on it for
several months.
In Southwest bay, Malekula, one
Of the New Hebrides group, is stu
ated a tiny sugar loaf shaped island,
which was entirely rebuilt some
years ago by order of the British
admiralty at the request of a native
chief.
The original island was selected
by the commander of one warshlp
in those waters as a handy object
for target practice. As a result it
was virtually blown to pieces. The
chief of Malekula, to whom it be-
longed, not unnaturally objected,
and the captain of the man-of-war
was ordered to make good the dam
age occasioned by his guns.
This was done. But the chief was
still not satisfied. The reconstruct
ed island, he complained, was
neither so big nor so solid as the
original one. "Oh, hang it al" "
calculated the badgered command
er, "what's your beastly little is.
land worth? I'll buy it from you"
"Ten sticks of tobacco" replied
the chief promptly, and held out his
hand. The tobacco was as promptly
produced, and from that day to this
the fragment of sea girt coral rock
thus curiouslv acquired has been
known as "Ten Stick island"
