"Well, girls, that shall we do to­ day?" It was on the broad piazza of the Baden-Baden Springs, one of the sum­ mer hostelries in the Santa Cruz mount­ ains. Not a man to be seen--the long piazza was a vista of skirts. At one end sat the matrons, either doing some one of those numberless things called "fancy-work," or else retailing their housenold troubles. At the other sat the young ladies, some with novels in their laps, some idle. They were gaz­ ing listieasly across the garden to the disused croquet ground. No one said, "Let's11 play croquet." No, indeed, there had been a pitched battle on the croquet ground the day before. Miss Helen "Winn had remarked that she named no names, but when a person was wired she did not think it fair for her to move her ball when the others were not looking. Upon this Miss Tillie Robert­ son had burst into tears, and said that Miss Winn was " a hateful thing." Mima Carrie Bunner, partner to her of the tears, immediately laid down her mallet with great dignity, and ostentatiously escorted Miss Robertson from the ground, saying, "There, now, Tillie." "Never mind them," etc., all of which was inexpressibly goading to the other side. ~ By way Of showing the two seceders how unnecessary they were, two other ladies took their places, and the game for a while was conducted in the smooth­ est manner, and the conversation in sugared tones. From the fact, however, that they came home in four different directions it is supposed that something •went wrong. John, whose duty it was to put away the mallets and balls after the ladies used the ground, related, on his return to the kitchen, that he found "them there mallets scattered all over creation, jest where them gals Hung 'em when the game bust up." No, although they had all "made up" since, the influences upon the whole were not favorable to tliat game which stirs the feminine soul 60 deeply. By the way, was the woman ever born who would not cheat at croquet if she got a chance ? "Well, girls, what shall we do to­ day ?" It was Bella Chester who spoke. Now Bella had not been mixed up in thd quarrel of the day before. If there was any one thing she did not care for, it was croquet without gentlemen. It is unnecessary, then, to tell you that she was coquettish. But she was pretty, too, was Bella--bewitcliingly pretty. And yet she was not so pretty that other ( •women did not like her, for they did. There are two kinds of pretty women. " Let's go to the springs," said Helen Winn, "and watch them bottling the waters." "Pshaw!" said Bella, "there's only aa old man and a boy there. Girls, she went on, "Ihave an idea. How far is it from here to Santa Maria Col­ lege ? " "Abont six miles," said Helen. "Then I'll tell you what let's do. We'll have the rockaway team hitched up, and get John to drive us over there. It's vacation time now, and the students have gone. We'll have the monks show us all over the buildings, the mission church and everything." "They're not monks," said Carrie Banner, with an air of 'wisdom (Miss Bonner was a Catholic), "they are lathers." "Well, I'd like to know what the dif­ ference is," said Miss Bella, briskly. " I--don't--know," said Miss Carrie, weakening; " but you must call them •fathers,' anyway." "I'll call them anything they like," laid Miss Bella. "But come, girls-- let'* go and get ready." In fifteen minutes five of the girls 'ware all re8dy. They had simply put on immense straw hats and very ugly dusters. Their gloves were veterans; their shoes substantial, bnt not beauti­ ful. In short, tliev were attired as sen­ sible girls should be for a ride over a California road in summer. But the minutes passed, and Bella did not. come. John chewed tobacco, aad soothed his impatient horses as they flicked the flies from off their backs and pawed the ground. John was never im- „p&tient. A sweet and tender restful- ness filled his soul when he was waiting for ladies. He had driven around water- ,ing-piace» for many years, had John. "At last she came. A simultaneous cry arose. " Why, what ever has kept you so long ?" Suddenly Helen exclaimed: "Well. I declare! If that girl hasn't gone ana changed hor dress !" " Yes, and fixed her hair 1" ' " An J put on a clean pair of gfoves!" - ,l And changed her boots !" It was all true. Miss Bella had en- 4aavored to shroud these treasons in her • ouster ami hat, but it was useless. She was indeed a pretty sight as she stood there, with one dainty foot upon the step. Even John was moved. He re­ flectively spat on the nigh side, and made room for her to sit by him. Miss Bella sprang into the seat. John was better than nothing. And, as they spun Along the rood, she laughed at his well- worn stories, admired his skill as a driv­ er, and when he turned to look at her would drop her eyes. And John ? Well, he chewed tobacco. 'Tis wonderfully soothing, in any form, is the maligned weed. At last the little town was reached, and John dashed up to the college gates in style. The ladies descended, crossed the wide and dreary-looking campus, and applied for permission to see the old mission church and the college build- It was granted them, and an ol­ ive-skinned Italian priest was detailed to show them over the place. He was gentle and courteous in manner, hand­ some in face, and there was a certain dignity about him which impressed even the giddy BeJla at first But not for long. They passed into the old mia^n church, with its quaint statues and cu­ rious paintings. The peculiar realism which seemed • to impress the mind only revolted them, and the image of the Savior upon the cross, the blood trickling from the crown of thorns nnri from the wound in His side, only made ; them turn away in disgust. The strange [ frescoing over the altar, too, did not impress them; they laughed at the four- and-twenty elders seated around the Great Whiu Throne, with "Saneto, Sanc- to, Saneto," coming from their mouths, while the monkish artist's attempt 'to represent the Deity shocked them. Then they went into the college, and saw the laboratory, and philosophical apparatus, with its strange electrical machines, globes and what not From there to the library, where Father Au­ gustine showed them the quaint old books from which dead and gone monks had chanted vesper and matin song. Huge volumes were they, of parchment leaf and leathern cover, with giant clasp and hinge; odd-looking notes in red and black, squatty and square (for they were Gregorian), climbed over curious staff-lines. The girls tried to make out the words, but the lettering was strange to them, and, had it not been so, the language would have been. So Father Augustine read out some of the lines, the Latin sounding less harsh in the mellow Italian way than they had thought. And then they looked at the shelves, where imposing tomes held between their covers the writings of the early fathers of the church--those early fathers who wefe eo early that they have had to father all later creeds. Many were the strange characters, many the tongues in which these books were written. " And can you read all those dreadful languages, father?" asked Miss Bella. " No, not all," he replied, " but many; and Brother Anselm, who is the libra­ rian, can read them all." " Can he read that, father ? " said Car­ rie Bunner, with wide-open eyes, turn­ ing over a curious looking volume. " Yes, my daughter," said the monk, smiling, " that is only Hebrew. Even I can read that." The library exhausted, Father Augus­ tine asked them if they would like to ascend to the observatory, where there was a fine view of the surrounding valley. Miss Bella was the first to speak : " Oh, girls," said she, " I'm tused. I don't think I care xo go. But, since the father has been so kind, some of you' go." But the other girls were tired, too. And so Miss Bella, with an appearance of great self-abnegation, declared that she. would go, although Father Augus­ tine politely protested that the climb was fatiguing, and, if tired, she should not attempt it. But opposition only made her more determined, so they went together. " Oh, what a lovely view!" cried Miss Bella, as they gazed over the fertile valley. " Oh, father, I'm ever so much obliged to you for inducing me to come." " It is indeed well worth the trouble," replied the priest. "Father," said Miss Bella, fixing her brown eyes upon him, "what is the reason you say 4 my daughter' to Miss Bunner, and not to the rest of us ?" "Because," replied the priest, grave­ ly, " she is a Catholic, and the others are heretics." "How do you know she is a Cath­ olic ?" "Because she bowed to the Host when in the church, which none of the others did." " So I am a heretic, too, I suppose ?" said Miss Bella, with a pretty pout. " Yes," said the priest, calmly. " Am I so dreadful, then?" said the girl, archly. " No," he replied, flushing slightly, " but--that is " Ah, wicked Bella! you have pierced the priestly armor. "Come, father," said she, coaxingly. "call me 'daughter' too. I feel as if I were a leper or something. Ugh!" And she shivered, and then laughed merrily. "Very well, my daughter," said the priest. Miss Bella was as pleased as is a vic­ torious General. But she was not con­ tent. She leansd out from the window, and, as she did so, she dropped a glove upon the floor. When she turned the glove was gone. Miss Bella could have hugged herself. But all things have an end, and so had the tete-a-tete in the tower. Bella at last descended, and, as usual, found her companions cross through waiting, and, as usual, subdued them. And so they bade farewell to Father Augustine, thank­ ing him for his courtesy, and crossed the campus to the carriage. And when they reached it, wicked Bella could no longer conceal her story, but told with great glee how she had made an impression upon the heart of Father Augustine. I am afraid she used a slangy word in speaking of it. Carrie Bunner was horror-stricken. " Bella Chester," said she, "I don't believe a word of it. Do you mean to tell me that he, a priest, would keep one of you? gloves ? " "Priests are only men," said Bella, defiantly. "Well, I don't care," said Carrie, "I don't believe it, so there." And the girls climbed into the rock- away, which stood near the old church; the view of the college was thus inter­ cepted. John had listened meanwhile with much interest He believed Bella. He privately believed that she could capti­ vate any man, if she set her mind on it And as he took a fresh chew of tobacco, and prepared to start, he indulged in much quiet mirth at the priest's ex­ pense. Suddenly a black-robed figure ap peared around the corner of the church. Bella's heart went down into her dimin­ utive boots. It was Father Augustine. "I wonder if he heard us!" she said to hftrgplf. The monk motioned to John to stop. He advanced to the side of the car­ riage. " One of the servants," said he, bland­ ly, dofiing his angular cap, " has just come down from the observatory, where he found a glove. It was probably left by the young lady who was there with me. \Vliich was the lady ? " Carrie Bunner's eyes sparkled malic­ iously. She pointed to Bella. " Is it yours, miss ?" said the monk, smoothly. Bella mutely notlded. She could not speak. She felt that she was crimson to the roots of her hair. He handed it to her. " I bid you good day, young ladies," said he, grave­ ly, and he strode off toward the college. John touched up his horses. He grinned, but said nothing. He was a man and therefore generous. The srirls giggled and said a great deal. They were women. And Bella? Well, Bella had won­ dered at first whether Father Augustine heard her. She is wondering yet. THE only amaranth flower on earth is virtue; the only lasting treasure, truth. --Cowper. THE FAMILY DOCTOR. CHTMI.AINS.--In response'to an IWTWLRY in the Jiritish Medical Journal, the following suggestions for the treatment of chillblains are given : Have the patient wear large shoes which do not compress the feet Touch the toes with nitrate of silver. Galvanism has always proved successful with one writer. Liniment of aconite is recommended. An oint­ ment of lard and dry mustard rubbed in before the fire for twenty minutes will cure the trouble after a few applica­ tions. Paint the affected parts with flexible collodion to protect them from the air. Very hot water, applied with flannels or sponges, is efficacious. A strong solution of acetate of lead was highly recommended by Sir Astley Cooper. Sulphurous acid is useful in mild cases. ACID BURNS CCBKD BT MAONXSIA.-- Last year two French students were much burned about the face by the explosion of a retort filled with boiling sulphuric acid. They were at once taken to a druggist, M. Alan ore, who covered their faces 2mm. thick with a soft paste made of calcined magnesia and water. In a few seconds, fissures appeared in the magnesian mask, and a new layer was then substituted. The patients were thus tended for five hours, after which the one hurt the least was able to wash his face, which merely showed some reddish spots. The other had his magnesian mask renewed during twenty- four hours. Suffering acutely at first, the students ceased to suffer in less than a quarter of an hour. Their faces have now no traces of burfis. THE " Turkish Bath" sayB HalTs Jour­ nal of Health, "has been highly recom­ mended as a cure for colds. With prop­ er care afterward, there is no better or more effectual plan of cutting short a severe cold. It is not, however, neces­ sary to go to a regular establishment to take such a bath. Any small comfort­ able room, where a good fire can be quickly made, will answer the purpose. In the early evening make a good fire in the stove and close the doors and win­ dows, leaving only small openings for ventilation. Then let the patient put qn his night clothes and lie down on a bed or sofa, or sit in an easy chair for an hour or more with the temperature of the room from 90 deg. to 100 deg. F. Afterward the room should be gradually cooled to about 70 deg., and the patient should go to bed and remain there till morning. " HYGIENIC MENUS.--F. L. Oswald writes: By adopting an absolutely non-stimulat- ing, chiefly vegetable, diet, combined with active exercise in the open air, the most dyspeptic glutton can cure himself in the course of a single season, and by the same means every boarding-school might become a dietetic sanitarium. The following list of hygienic menus is arranged in the order of their digesti­ bility and wholesomeness : Milk, bread and fruit Eggs (raw or whipped), bread and honey. Boiled eggs, bread and apples (Ancient Borne). Bread and butter, rice pudding, with sugar and fresh milk. Corn bread or roasted chestnuts, butter, honey and grapes (the usual diet of the long-lived Corsi- can mountaineers). Fish, butter, oat­ meal porridge and fresh milk (Danish islands). Pancakes, honey, or new mo­ lasses, poached eggs, boiled milk and bread pudding. Vegetable soups, baked beans, potatoes (baked or mashed), but­ ter biscuits and apple dumplings. Gen­ eral rules--Avoid stimulants, alcoholic and narcotic drinks, tobacco and all pungent spices ; be sparing in the use of animal food, especially in summer time; in midsummer eat fruit with every meal; let unprepared food (fresh milk, fruit, etc.) form a part of your daily fare; of unprepared aliments, as well as of all unspiced viands, the most palatable are the most wholesome; eat slowly and masticate your food ; never eat if you have no appetite, and finish your last meal three hours before bed­ time. New York English Spoken Here. Although I knew scarcely a word of the Spanish language on my arrival at the main gulf seaport of the republic, I had little difficulty in gettiDg felong, as there was generally some one near at hand who could act as interpreter. In many of the stores in the City of Mexico the familiar European sign of "English spoken here " is displayed. One estab­ lishment varied the announcement as follows : NIW YORK KMOLlflS SPOKEM HKBE. But this did not strike the tender chords of the hearts of our party with half the sentimental remembrance of home that was evoked when we came upon the sign made to rhyme : Yankee gin, walk in; Bourbon, rye, mind your eye. Will you take a nip of ram? Just step in, it's lots of fun. "Le's go in 'er, Colonel," ejaculated one of the members of our company. " I 'gin to feel sorta as 'f I was to hum already. Le's have some Yankee drinks." But the Colonel wouldn't go, having given up drinking long since, and but one or two were found who cared to step inside to shake hands with the Yankee' author of the beautiful stanza given above. Presently the refreshment partakers came out of the saloon, or whatever the place is called here. There was a look of disgust visible on the countenance of each and every one of them, while sev­ eral clenched fists bid defiance to the air. It was some time before any of the drinkers would speak. Finally he who had been so anxious to taste "hum spirits " ejaculated: " Damme! I hain't got over it yet Thar wa'u't no Yankee thar, nor no hum likers. A Mexican jist give us pulky-pulqui, a native liquor--and we haven't got the stuff out of our mouths yet" We afterward ascertained that the poetical sign was the work of an Ameri­ can practical joker, who persuaded the Mexican saloonkeeper that he would make lots of money out of American customers by displaying it--City of Mexico letter. The Baby at Sea. Some of the passengers were very mis­ erable in their berths below, but baby, all unconscious of danger, seemed, as usual, to thoroughly enjoy the various ludicrous incidents and small catastro­ phes that always occur on these occa­ sions. There was a good deal of loose water flying around, and not much room on deck, with all the boats on board. A snug place was therefore found for her just inside the deck-house door, where, enveloped in macintoshes, she fairly screamed with delight as the men slith­ ered and slid and fell about on the slip­ pery decks. She thought it especially amusing when the cook opened the meat- safe and a leg of mutton flew out in his face, striking him on the chest and com­ pletely knocking him over. The cook's boy was busily engaged at the some time in the vain pursuit of carrots, turnips and potatoes that broke loose from the vegetable bunkers and were floating about in the lee-scuppers, while a few poor, miserable-!ooking, draggle-tailed cocks and hens sought shelter beneath the sails, and completed the discomfort and confusion. One of the hen-coops j had already been washed adrift, and its twelve unfortunate occupants drowned. --^Eclectic Magazine. > Tenderness of Old Hickory. In the days of his youthful vigor, Gen. Jackson was fond of what Dryden colls "a knock-down argument--a word and a blow." But when age and office had modified his temper, he omitted the blow, though his words were still as hard as cannon-balls.' Once, while President, he summed up the Webster- ian argument against nullification in this style: " It this thing is to go on," he said to Gen. Sam Dale, his old courier during the New Orleans campaign, "our coun­ try will be like a bag of meal with both ends open. Pick it np in the middle or endwise, and it will run out I must tie The Han With a Soft Place. No* a soft place in his head, necessar­ ily, nor even in his heart, but a soft place in the world into which he falls into the cream. The kind of a man of whom it is particularly true that it is better to be bom lucky than rich. Snch a man comes into the world with an en­ dowment as serviceable as a soldier in­ heritance. He is not brilliant. He is not a steady plodder. He is generally lazy. Were it not for his one talent he would be a loafer and ne'er-to-do-well. Shiftless, he would be left to shift for himself--a burden to his friends, and liable to become so to society in general. But, with all his defects, he has an in­ describable capacity for not only deriving a support from friends and society, but for being promoted and highly consid­ ered. This trait is not good nature, although he may be good-natured. It is not a capacity for good fellowship: indeed he maynot be capable of decided friendship. This is simply a positive and profound oonviction on the part of the lucky fellow, that he came into thin the bag and save the country. By the world for the express purpose of being God of heaven, I will uphold the laws," } taken care of. Many, no doubt, are he continued, striding across the room, born with similar feelings and hopes, brandishing a long pipe. " I hope things will go right," inter­ posed Dale, soothingly. "They shall go right, sir," exclaimed the President, shivering his pipe upon the table. " Old Hickory," as his admirer%named him, was but a tender sapling whe%his emotional nature was touched. The I slightest referenoe to his dead wife j caused him to bow in grief. "Sam," he said, at tins-same inter- j view, "you have been true to yourcoun- ' toy, but you have made one mistake in life. You are now old and solitary, and without a bosom friend or family to com­ fort you. God has called mine away. But all I have achieved--fame, power, everything--would I exchange if she could be restored to me for a moment." And the strong man trembled with emotion, while, covering his face with his hands, he wept 'Her memory he always cherished. Late one night, the President's Pri­ vate Secretary, wishing to consult hi™ about a letter to be sent off in the early mail, tapped at his chamber door. On entering, he found the President sitting, ^undressed, at a little table on which rested his wife's miniature, propped up against several volumes. Between him and the picture lay her prayer book. The last thing the iron man did at night was to read in her book, with her miniature before him. During the day he wore the picture on his heart,, sus­ pended from his neok by a strong black cord. The worshipers of' Napoleon mention a delicate act of devotion done by him. On being elected First Consul, he jumped into a carriage and was whirled away to Josephine, that he might be the first to tell her the good news. But in nine years Josephine was a cast-off wife. Gen. Jackson made his dead wife a living presence. At his death he willed his property, as he thought she would nish it devised, to his adopted son. The son had shown himself an unsuccessful business man, and a friend suggested that the property be secured to the son's wife. "No," said the General, "that would show a want of confidence. If she," pointing to the tomb in the garden, "wore alive, she would wish him to have it all, and to me her wish is law." The woman whose wish was law to the stern-willed man had been dead seven­ teen years.-- Youth's Companion. Historic Grounds in Nevada. Twenty years ago the great American Desert was the terror of the overland emigrant It was impossible to go but of a weak and watery solution. They lack tliat absolute and unquestioning faith in their destiny, of which the gen­ uine pensioner upon the general bounty is never destitute. He asserts his birth­ right with tenacious and indisputable authority, and no one 'even thinks of opposing or refusing him. His laying of hands upon what he thinks belongs to him is not done rudely or boisterously. If it were, it would be the end of him. There would then be something hard and tangible to resist His quiet taking of what he deems his own, conquers his place for him. His peace, comfort and welfare seem to be a part of the order of nature, and would as soon think of denying or preventing the soil from absorbing the rain, as to forbid his soaking up all the prosperity coming within range of him which he can possibly hold. Even in early life, his right to disre­ gard the family ordinances is .silently and naturally conceded. On slight pre­ text he is allowed to sleep late, to Btay home from ftihool and church. No one is surprised at his unrebuked raids upon the pantry, at his lounging about when others help with the household duties, at his slipping off for a holiday, a fish­ ing excursion, or a picnic, when the others go to counter or to counting-room. Patient and persistent work, application and perseverance slide off from his daily purposes like water from a duck's back. For him these virtues are quite superflu­ ous. He obtains all that these bring, without exercising them. A native of the tropics might as soon toil and sweat all day to raise the banauas and the bread fruit, which if he will but lie on his back while they ripen, will drop into his month. His brothers grow rich only to give him a chance, with little or no labor, to reap a by-no-means-small measure of the family harvest On his chair there is always a soft cushion; hit bed is invar­ iably spread upon the newest and latest patent springs. When he falls out of a situation there seems to be a divinely ap­ pointed person ready to catch him, and give liin* a more comfortable and lux­ urious place than the one from which he tumbled. There is a delightful mystery about such men's success. It is impossible to account for it in accordance with the supposed laws which control labor, wages, supply, demand, and the whole system of political economy that insists that no man cau get something for noth- | ing. Yet these men do apparently get ! a good deal for nothing. J IV® Hwpltal Needed. No palatial hospital needed for Hop Bittera ! A Brest Enterprise.

It is about forty miles from the lower end of the Hum­ boldt Sink to the Truekee River at Wadsworth, and the name "Forty-Mile Desert" given to the stretch has to- come known the world over. There is no water fit to drink on the whole dis­ tance. The road lies through a Bandy sage-brush plain, extending several mileH west of the lake, where it strikes tell their own story by their certain and abso­ lute eureg at tame.--New York Independent. "let the Fool Remain." Mr. Septimus Brightly was an aristo­ crat and a man of rank. He had held many offices of honor and of profit, and he deemed himself well worthy of all honor that had been conferred upon him. This was the man who, somewhat late in life, took to himself a young wife. The woman whom he had thus chosen to an alkali desert, in the centre of which ' honorwassevera.yearsyounger than x. •. i . .. ; himwif. She was nve-and-tliirtvand he the railroad has a station that it appro­ priately calls " White " Plains. This iB the lowest point east of the mountains. Eight miles further is Mirage Statien, which might serve as a memorial to the "unfortunates who have been betrayed from their proper course by the picture of running water, waving trees and fields that existed only in the deceptive air. Near the middle of the journey is a boiling hot springs at the [foot of the mountain and large beds of salt lie near, from which B. F. Leete and the Bonanza mines put up and ship large quantities to market. The deposit has killed all vegetation for a long distance around, leaving the flat old lake-bed as bare as a floor. Between there and Wadsworth are some'very odd formations. The body of the country seems to be a light yel­ low substance, probably diatomous, over which lie high ridges of brown hills. The level places are strewn with heavy rocks of all sizes, as black as coal. There is no timber anywhere in sight and even the sage-brush is of inferior size. On either side are the ever-monot­ onous brown mountains, carved and grooved by centuries of wear and frost into fringes of stony lace. The railroad ; has made freq«e»t attempts to get water for its engines, but without sue- "" y""a cess. They bored 1,300 feet at Hot Springs, but got only a brackish mixture of liquid alkali. They haftl water in tank cars for their section men between Lovelock's and Wadsworth and the en­ gines make the run v ith one tankful, a distance of sixty-one miles. They form­ erly carried an extra car behind the en­ gine with two wooden tanks to draw from, but new engines have been built with tanks that hold 3,700 gallons. They frequently run seventy-five miles without stopping and Nick Cole made a huAdred-mUe run once. It is a very pleasant comparison for the rich *49er himself. She was five-and-tliirty and he live-and-fifty. However, though younger, she was a widow, and possessed of considerable wealth. And she was quite handsome, also, beside being intelligent, witty and vivacious. She had but one failing, one drawback, in the Honorable Septimus' estimation; she was Scotch by birth, and retained much of her native idiom and accent, of which habit her husband tried to break her. More than once Mrs. Brightly had begged of her husband not to borrow trouble on account of her speech ; but she laid it upon him most emphatically that he should not, under any circum­ stances, allude to her peculiarity of pro­ nunciation in public. For a time after this all went well. At length, however, the autocrat mani­ fested himself. It was at an evening party, given by himself and wife, where many notables were present. In the course of the dinner the lady called to a servant and bade Mm take away the fools (her pronunciation of fowls). y .

Where They Enforce the Law. We admire the maoiier that the city laws are made and enforced by the city officials of Columbus, Ind. There, no boy under 21 years of age is allowed to loaf on the streets after 10 o'clock p. m., and any minor found in a saloon, both the saloonkeeper and minor are arrested and fined; consequently saloonkeepers do not allow minors to re­ main on their premises. All persons, it matters not who they may be, making a noise on the street, are arrested at once. With such laws, and the strict enforce­ ment thereof, peace and order is bound to prevail.--Cambridge City Times. IT live acres of land in Florida to make a bale of cotton.

The Archduke had a Bharp tongue when oc­ casion demanded. The brilliant but con­ ceited pianist, Leopold von Meyer, onoe played before him a difficult composi­ tion, to the rather too-evident satisfac­ tion of the pianist himself. It was very warm, and Herr von Mayer was some­ what exhausted by his exertions. His heated face and unlimited conceit were too much for the ArchduKe, and when the artist, with manifest self-complacen­ cy, looked to him for praise, Francis Charles sarcastically said: "I have heard Thalberg, and I have listened to Liszt (profound bow from the pianist), and I mu-st say that neither of those eminent artists (here Herr Mayer exe­ cuted the most obsequious of saluta­ tions)--I repeat it, that neither of those famous masteia--perspired half as free­ ly as you do."
