Science and Nations.

True revclutionists, believe me, the
real men CT action, who are promoting
truth and justice for the morrow, are
scientists. Governments fall and pass
away; nations grow, shine with SPLEEN
dor and decay. But what matter? The
discoveries of science will go on, will
increase, will give mankind more and
more light and certainty. The close Of
century is a small matter; the march
Of human progress will always be re-
eumed; human nature will insist on
having knowledge, whatever may be
the obstacles 1t is foolish to object
that we can never know anything; we
have got to know all we can that we
may attain the greatest happiness.
And therefore say, How foolish are
all the political disputes that excite
nations! While the salvation Of prog
ress is supposed to be involved in the
fate OF ministry, it Is really the sci

The Duke of SaXe-Weimar once in
vited John Sebastian Bach. the Nestor
of German music, to attend dinner
at the palace. Before the guests sat
down to the feast Bach was asked to
give an improvisation. The composer
seated himself at the harpsichord and
straightway forgot all about dinner
and everything else. He played so long
that at last the duke touched his shout
der and said, We are very much
obliged, master, but we must not let
the soup get cold.''
Bach sprang to his feet and followed
the duke to the dining room without
uttering a word. But be was scarcely
seated when he sprang up, rushed back
to the instrument like one demented,
struck few chords and returned to
the dining room, evidently feeling
much better. 81 beg your pardon, your

The Surprise That Awaited Tom Tay-
Ior, the Playwright.


Ior, the Playwright.
Writing of Tom Taylor, the famous
playwright and former editor Of Punch,
Leslie Ward in "Forty Years OF Spy"
says:
"At dinner his appearance was ~
markable, for he usually wore black
velvet evening suit. A curious trait OF
the dramatist's was his absentminded
manner and forgetfulness Of conven-
ton. Sometimes when walking in the
street with friend he would grow in
terested and to emphasize his remarks
turn to look more directly into the face
Of his companion, at the same time
placing his arm around his waist. In
the case of lady this habit sometimes
proved rather embarrassing.
"Mr. Tom Taylor was man of I'M
bounded kindness in helping every
body who was in need of money or In
trouble. One day Mr.. and Mrs.
Taylor returned from walk to be met
by startled parlor maid, who announc-
ed the presence of a strange looking
man who was waiting to see them.
Her suspicious being aroused by his
wild appearance, she had shown him
into the pantry, fearing to leave him in
the drawing room. On repairing to
the pantry with curiosity not unmixed
with wonder they discovered-Tenny-
son quite at home and immensely
tickled by his situation.
