30 {horny Path of the Musician. It is the bitter truth that fairly good musicians too often find after years of may and expense that it is almost im- possible to secure a hearing and that money must go out where it is expected mcome in. The debut of a singer not infrequently involves serious outlay, including :1 paid manager Whose duties cover not only such details as the rent- mg of a hall. advertising, purchase of ml tributes, etc.. but the drumming upot a "paper” audience as well. and free tickets are not always rewarded by applause or press notices. The greatâ€" est check to an artistic career is to be- come a fad with the so called smart set. whose interest is fleeting and un- discriminating. ye: bills must be paid. patronage represents money. and few can resist the temptation to seek it.

It was when he was :1 Prix de Rome musical student at the Villa Medicis. which has given to the world so many composers. He bought a brand new gun and a beautiful dog. which ran between its new master’s legs at the first shot and nearly precipitated a disaster. Somehow Massenet was alo Ways late with things that either flew or ran: but. noticing a pike basking near the edge of a pool. he fired at the fish and killed it. afterward returning to Rome with it on the end of his gun. as the local custom is.

Clever Caterpillars. Caterpillars accommodate themselves wonderfully to circumstances and dis« play at critical periods or their devel- opment very high powers of instinct. which may seem akin to reasoning. Huber describes a succession of proo esses by which one of them constructs a most complicated hammock for its approaching change into Chrysalis form. He found that a caterpillar taken from its hammock and put in another nest at an earlier stage of construction did not seem puzzled. but took up the work methodically as he found it and carried it to completion from that point. If. however. a caterpillar was put in- to a hammock that had been carried to a later stage than its own had reached, instead of feeling any benefit from work thus done for it, it became em- barrassed and would go over the al- ready advanced work from the stage with which it was itself familiar be- fore it could complete the task. ' From these facts we may gather that each condition leads on in definite order to the next and that results are due to a proper sequence apart from any actual calculation. 4 ~ Winning 8. Fur Coat. The artist Hans Canon once painted a Russian prince in a magnificent fur mantle which took his fancy so great- ly that he endeavored to hit on a plan by which he might retain possession of it. On sending home the portrait he omitted to return the garment, and to the letter requesting him to do so he made no reply. One day, when look- ing out of a window, he saw the prince coming toward his house. Hastily slip- ping into the garb, Canon sat down in an armchair near thefire. .The prince, who had come for hiscoat. started on seeing Canon groaning and trembling at the fireside. “What is the'matter with you?" heasked. “0h.” groaned Canon, “1 don’t know what it is, but I feel so weak and wretched, and I can- bot get warm! Two days ago my brother died of smallpox. and I am a bit nervous about myself.” The artist kept the coat. A Rainy Day Hint. “Ever notice how many men hang on to their morning papers on a rainy day?” inquired a’ Harlemite. “No? Well, they keep them to dry their shoes. There are nearly a score of clerks in our office, and on fair days they leave their newspapers in their trains or boats, but when the streets are wet they keep them. “Every one except the old fashioned fellows who wear overshoes puts his morning paper under his desk and plants his wet boots on it. Remarkable thing how the paper, being more ab- sorbent than the leather, extracts the dampness from a pair of shoes. In half an hour the wet papers are kicked aside. and the clerks have avoided the discomfort of working all day in wet huh m In. Oaulera'n have to N W .pumtotnmmmbclumw music. V Hr.

Describing his impressions of John Stuart Mill, Sir Leslie Stephen said: “I heard him speak in the house of com- mons. Instead of an impassire philoso- pher I saw a slight. {rail figure trem- bling with nervous irritability. He poured out a series of perfectly formed sentences with an extraordinary rapid- ity suggestive of learning by heart and when he lost thethread of his discourse closed his eyes for two or three min- utes till after regaining his composure he could again take up his parable. Al- though his oratory was defective, he was clearly speaking with intense feel. ing and was eXceedingiy sensitive to the reception by his audience. Some or his doctrines were specially irritating to the rows of stolid country gentlemen, who'began by listening curiously to so strange an animal as a philosopher and ~ discovered before long that the ani- mal's hide could be pierced by scornful laughter. To Mill they represented“ crass stupidity. and he-bemme unable either to conceal his contempt or keep his temper.” ‘ Burgluriou- Been. To the person who knows nothing about bees they represent the supreme type of industry. But even the bee com- munities are disturbed by those of their own kind who break through and steal. Robber bees are always a source of anxiety to beekeepers, says the Lon-. don Chronicle. and in the autumn the marauders seem particularly active. Having gathered no honey, or. at any rate, an insufficient supply for them- ‘sclves, they will descendupon a hive. kill its industrious occupants and car- ry on! the golden treasure in an aston-‘ l ishingly short space of time. We know of one instance in which the attack was” developed and the home bees killedjn.‘ a couple of hours. Sometimes hive will attack nelghborlng hive. In such. cases the old straw “skip” was better than the modern arrangement, for a knife thrust through the top would break the comb and set the honey free, at which the thieves would instantly return to seal up their own store. It is not primarily in their industry that bees are human. A Funny Chase. Lord Orford. an eccentric English nobleman, once had a team of red deer stags that he frequently drove to a light coach. All went well until one day there happened to be a pack of staghounds on the road from London to Brighton, along whiEh Lord Orford’s picturesque team was merrily fleeting. There followed the strangest chhse that ever mortal man witnessed. The hounds hunted the team and its owner hard to Newmarket, and with such a smash into the Ram inn yard the whole lot went that there was no more coach left and little more of driver. Lord Orford took to horses after that. Conquering a. Critic. William Simpson. a British artist. who accompanied the army during the Crimean war. said that Lord Cardigan. the commander, examined his early sketches of Balnklava with “a vacant stare.” curtly remarking. “It is all wrong." Still Simpson persevered and was rewarded in the end “with the ex- pression of Lord Cardignn’s highest ad- mirationi” “The real truth was." he adds in his sinipieway. “that in the last sketch I had taken greater care than in the first two to mutt'hh‘lord. ship conspicuous in the trout at the brigade." ”w... - I '- â€"-v 7 coming out very fast, 35 1 height a bottle 0!

At a time when the fashionable opera was in highest vogue Jenn} Lind came to America and achieved her greatest triumph by. singingsuch simple airs as “Comin’ Through the Rye." They touched a popular chord. and it vibrat- ed throughout continents. It is the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin. And just as the simple songs of Burns gave pleasure without militating against the culture of a taste for the higher creations in vocal music. so the enjoyment of the simple melodies which we know as ragtime are harmless and without danger of taking the place of the more elevated style of music. We cannot play trag- edy all the time. but must have the melodrama and the farce as the lights features of the state. And so in mu. sic, literature and art the philosophy; applies with the same force. Assured. She had a silvery laugh and golden hair. He had plenty of brass.
