FRANZ LIST, BOY PRODIGY.

Franz List, "The Wonder Child,
was born in Hungary in 1911, the year
of the comet. He was the son of an
old, although very poor, family, but
the comet brought him such luck, &C
cording to folk lore of the country,
that he later became rich.
His father loved music and did all in
his power to foster the gift in the
possession of his infant prodigy, but
he was only bookkeeper in the fam
lily of Prince Esterhazy, and so was
unable to be of much assistance. Del
icate, dreamy, little Franz was very
like the gypsies with whom he sang
and played and danced, for he had al
ways loved their wild, free life.
He was constantly at the piano, and
from the very first lesson had very lit
tie difficulty in execution, When be

SIMPLE HONESTY.

In beautiful valley of the "Haut
Nalais" tourists often love to stroll
from the great hotel to the quaint lit
tls villages around One day an Eng
fish lady lost valuable gold brooch,
and after searching for it in vain all
through the village where she had
walked about, the thought occurred to
her to ask the priests help. She told
INN to let his people know that who
ever would find the trinket and restore
1t should have a reward. The good
pastor replied: mo, madam, no re-
ward is needed: they would be sur
Drised at it and it would spoil their
native honesty. In these mountains
the people are still simple and I'M
spoiled | shall ask them to look for
it, and doubtless they will succeed,
but, please, no reward! 1t would be
an evil"
Two days after the brooch was
found by a little shepherd boy and
brought to the priest, who returned it
to the lady.
This latter contented herself by
dropping an offering into st. Anthony's
box which was in the little village
church, but how in her heart of hearts
she admired the simple honesty of
those plain, rough mountaineers as
she compared them with the city
throngs and their struggle for more,
always more!-Alas! If only the world
could return somewhat to it's primitive
simplicity.

Once upon a time, long, long ago;
when the world was quite young, Bum

Mamma Rabbit, as she kissed Bunny

Bunny Rabbit promised, and, waving
MS friends goodbye, hoped away

He hadn't gone far when he saw
great big lion and a yellow strlpeo
tiger crouching under some busnes.

ingeniously reach down and touch one
with his nose.
1t is told that when he was five, on
being asked by his father what he
would like to do when he grew up, let
tie Franz answered that he would like
to be musician, with Beethoven as
his ideal.
At eight he played before Count Els
terhazy and some other mobiles, and
they were so pleased with him that
they arranged for an annuity to enable
his father to take him to Vienna.
When the family left their home at
Raiding and the townsfolk came to bid
them goodbye one old woman pre-
dicted that Franz would some day re-
turn in a glass carriage. ,a.e
The LISTS journeyed to Vienna and
settled there in order to educate the
boy. Just now the celebrated teacher,
| Czerny, was at the height of his fame,
and he was so charmed with little
Franz that he gave him lessons with
out pay, and the boy always held the
master in grateful remembrance. Soon
he surprised Vienna with his music;
in fact they could not say enough
about the boy Virtuoso from the
Clouds" At twelve Franz List was
without rival in the world.
Once he played before Beethoven,
and the presence of the great COM
poser seemed to inspire him. Amid
the applause at the end Beethoven
who never admired prodigies, came
forward, took the boy in his arms and
kissed him. And Franz never forgot
that kiss.
To illustrate the wonderful influence
of LISTS music-making hands, we re
call an incident of tour in Switzer
land which List once took with g
marty. all dressed in Swiss peasant cos
tunes. List carried a reed pipe, with
which he from time to time awoke the

"Round Robin"

A "round robin" consists OF a paper
containing a petition, protest, COM
plant, or congratulations around which
the James of the signers are written
in a circle so as to avoid giving prom
inence to any single name, and so
that no name heads the list. The term
has been found in Coverdale's preface
to his translation of Calvin's '"Tract
on the Lords Supper" dated 1916, but
it is there used by ''scurrilous Prot
estants" AS a term of reproach for the
ciborium or pyx. Brewer claimed the
term to be a corruption of the French
'rond" (round) ''ruban" (ribbon). APP
piled to persons, the term designated
"a religious or political brawler." 1t
was used in this sense by Hacket in
his Life of Archbishop Williams
(1692) ''These Wal Tylers and Round
Robins being driven or persuaded out
Of Whitehall" The modern round
robin is said to have originated with
sailors who used the method in trying
to secure redress of their grievances
and a record of this is to be found in
THE Gentleman's Magazine" q. 23Sl
dated 1881.

IF thin and NERVOUS,

Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate h
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve F0rce.

When one stops to consider tho host Of
thin people who are searching continually
for some method by which they may In
crease their flesh to normal proportions by
the filling out Of ugly hollows. the rounding
off of p~rotrudlng angles with the attend
ant bloom of health and attractiveness, 1t
is no wonder that many and varied sug-
gestions along this line appear from time t.
time In public print.
While excessive thinness might be at
different individuals 1t is q well-known fact
that the lack of sufficient PHOSPHORUS In
the human system Is very largely respon-
slbie for this condition. Experiments on
humans and animals by many scientists
have demonstrated beyond question OF
doubt that q body deficient in PHOSPHORUS
becomes nervous. sickly and thin. A. noted
author and professor In his book, Chem
istry and Food Nutrition" published in 1918,
says: ;" that the amount or phos-
phorous required for the normal nutrition
Of man IL seriously underestimate In many
of our standard text books"
II seems to be well established that this
deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may now be met
by the use Of an organic phosphate known
throughout English speaking countries al
Bitro-Phosphate. Through the assimilation
OF this phosphate by the nerve tissue the
phosphoTic content when absorbed in the
amount normally required by nature soor
produces a welcome change in our body ano
mind. Nerve tension disappears, vigor anC
strength replace weakness and lack OF ener-
