The visitor, evidently realizing how tantalizing it is to stop midway in a feeling of transport, waited until the last note of Elsa’s prayer died away, then knocked again and finally by an energetic rattle of the doorknob caused the professor to come back to a realization of tilings mundane. “Ah, I was awaiting you. mademoiselle! 1 was anxious to hear how you sang so beautifully for monsieur the manager.” Edith Garth threw her music roll on the piano and walked over to the fireplace. where the extravagant professor had lighted the gas log. “I’ve simply disgraced you,” she said miserably, holding the toe of her damp

•returned to their homes in Europe. The full dinner pail based upon a protective tariff has proved to lie a myth. It had none of the underlying principles of permanency. It was only a stimulant leaving the body politic weaker because of it. From its use diseases have resulted which must now be cured. Trusts have been formed, mad fiancering developed, the Goverment Treasury has been attached to Wall street. : And the whole country made sickly and unsound. We must now build up again from the botton—without stimulation and without dishonesty. Then and then only will the full dinner pall he an assured fact, not for a few months, but for all t’nie. Special favors to the few can never result in permanent advnn e. It is contrary to history and to reason that it should be so. Give us tariff reduction, a safe and sane currency outside the control of a few bankers, make all solid by striking favoriti ::i either of law or tariff from our goverment, and restored confidence will restore the full dinner pail. Republican inflation has twice emptied It. Democratic principles will fill it again once for all.

leather. “Impossible! Your voice is most beautiful, and I had taught you the oratorio until you could render it with closed eyes,” the professor expostulated. The girl sat down, hunting vainly for her handkerchief. "I don't know what my voice was, but when I tried to sing for that horrid man this afternoon 1 didn't have any voice of any kind. It wabbled, avoided the tune—did everything—and finally died away in an asthmatic gasp." She found the handkerchief, and It proved to lie too small for the demand, a suspicious limpness indicat iug that It bad previously seen much service. “Ma pauvre petite;” The professor gazed at her perplexedly. “I’ll make a cup of strongest tea, bitter as the English and the Americans could wish for. While we drink it and eat some crackers and a eau of the tiniest sardines that 1 have lu the back of the music case you can tell me your depression.” He put the kettle on the alcohol lamp and drew the piano bench in front of the fireplace, spreading a sheet of music for a table cover. The girl dried her eyes furtively, mil after the outdoor chill her nerves slowly relax ed by the comforting gas log. She watched him with tiie amused tolerance a woman tins for a man’s house keeping, and when he brought the “Tnnnhauscr" score to put under* the teapot she forgot her woe long enough for a faint smile, which the professor quickly observed. “Ah. you are feeling bettor even now. and when you have eaten six of the little fish and two of the crackers and ask for a second cup of this well cooked tea you may tell me your story.” lie arranged three of the prescribed little fish on a cracker and deftly squeezed some lemon juice over them. "I believe I am equal to three more, she said, selecting an unbroken cracker from the box and holding it while he angled for the sardines. "And now I must tell you what a failure I made. When my voice stopped with that asthmatic gasp, I never was so surprised In my life. I told him I didn't know what was the matter—I'd never had such an attack before. He said he had often had candidates for positions in the choir get so nervous they couldn’t sing at first and for me (o rest a few minutes and try again. “But I thought how hard 1 had tried for that positlou as soloist and how hard 1 had studied with you for the last six months, when the people at home had scrimped and saved to keep me here in tiie city, and I don’t know how I lost my grip, but great big tears commenced running down my cheeks, not nice ladylike tears, but the great big splashy kind that you can’t swallow and that a real ladylike handkerchief will not soak up.” She had hung the ladylike handkerchief before the fire to dry, and the big blond professor, who looked more like a Norse sea king than a French teacher of voice, handed It to her, with a twinkle in his eye. “I’erhaps you might find a spot slightly dry,” be suggested. “It’s «-silly of me to start off this

Y'ou might to be ashamed to laugh at me,” reproachfully. “I’ll never have the. courage to go agaiu, and I'll always be afraid to sing in public now. My voice might act that way again, and 1 wanted so to make my living by singing.” lie leaned toward her and spoke earnestly. “You must go again, mademoiselle. In my country we always drive ahorse back and make him look at the object that has given him tiie fright. It is so with fids nervous terror of yours, petite. It will grow larger day by day until you will be so sensitive you cannot do the solos in the church or the concert Will you try it again next week?" “I feel that 1 couldn’t—iiosltlvely couldn’t,” she gasped, trembling at the thought of a second fiasco. The professor got his hat and coat to walk down the street with her to her hoarding house. “I go M ith you next week, mademoiselle. 1 play your accompaniment for you. You must forget yourself, and when lie hears you sing the place as soloist at St. John's is yours for the accepting. Monsieur the director will Implore you to accept.” The next week au elated girl entered the professor’s studio. She xvas not alone. The professor himself threw tiie roll of music on the piano, with a little whoop of enthusiasm. “Never have you sung so well, and do you not feel glad that the horse that balked was led back to try again?” “1 don’t mind being called a horse a bit, I’m so happy,” she exclaimed. “Y’ou couldn’t offend me even if you called me a donkey. And It's you—you —who have done It all. I found out yesterday that you have been teaching me for practically nothing when your oilier pupils are paying outrageous prices. It was good- so good—of you," and she held out her hands impulsively. The professor took them In his, and ihe blueness of his eyes sparkled Into hers. “It was not goodness, petite—it was— happiness.” He led her to the chair by the fireplace and stood looking down at her. "I have been here so long, petite, in a country where I have not the home feeling. There are five years that I have taught, at first to few, then to many, rntieli; yet, petite, I have not the home feeling. And your voice I loved first, and then you. ! wanted to make you succeed so you would not despair and go back to tin* country before I had tiie time to try to make you care. Petite, may 1 go to your country home tomorrow and ask tiie honor of your hand from madam, your mother?” The girl laughed softly. “That Is not the American style. If you want to settle in America for life, don’t you think it would tie well for you to conform to our customs?” “And will you tell me the best way?” he pleaded. ‘‘Suppose you should go—not by yourself, tint with me—to see my mother, and tlieu”— ‘Tes, yes, and then, petite?” “You might say, 'I love your daughter and and your daughter loves me— so she lias brought me to see my new mother,’ ” she said, keeping her gaze ou the tire. He knelt beside her and turned her face gently toward him. "Tiie beautiful home we’ll have—and your beautiful voice will be with me alwnx We go on the#nrly train, the most early train, to see madam, the new mother, mon ange.”

A JUBILEE JOKE.

When Leap Years End, In 1582. in the arrangement of the Julian calendar, ten days were dropped so as to get things runulug on the then new lint the present basis of cal eulating time. So as to keep things rtfTTning right It was determined that a year ending a century should not bo blsextile, except every fourth century. Thus there was no leap year in T7ofl, 1800 or 1!»00. It Is, or at least was, rather rough ou the ladies, who have sperin! advantages in leap year; but, though there will not be many of those who saw UkJO who will see 2000, the latter year, ending a fourth century, will lie a leap year. In tills way three days are retrenehed In four senturtes, and the remaining seven days will he made up in a little over 800 years. After that calendar years will be like solar years, and future errors In the calculation of time will occur no more. The loss of leap year xvill in thousands of years affect the seasons, but I suppose the mathematicians of the centu rles hence will be so (lip in handling figures and making calculations that they will have no difficulty In keeping things going correctly.—Exchange. Chinese Aversion to Surgery. It may occur to many people that they have never seen a Chinaman liercft of an arm, leg or oilier member of bis body. The reason for this that all orientals maintain a profound objection to surgical operatlous. Indeed. they much prefer to die rather thau to lie deprived of a member, be cause as it is undeniable that they came into the world with two arms, two legs, eight fingers, two thumbs, etc., they must of necessity go out of It with the same number. Otherwise, once on the other side, they might be sent to bunt for a missing member and spend the greater part of eternity in finding It. I’erhaps the nearest approach to internal surgery Hint n Chinese doctor will attempt is to stand on the patient’s body and with bare feet move about ou the part alfiicted. In dentistry the Chinese have reached the discovery that the nerve ts n worm, and tiie best method to treat an aching tooth is to loosen it by driving In wedges In order that the worm may escape.—Chicago Journal.

Lady Churchill's Bustle That Played "God Save the Queen.” Everything that year (Queen Victoria's jubilee year) was dubbed ‘•jubilee.” from knights and babies to hats and coats. "God Save the Queen” was heard ad nauseam ou every conceivable occasion uutil the tuue became an obsession. This led to a practical joke at the castle which caused much amusement. One morning, speaking of the jubilee craze, I pretended that 1 had received as an advertisement a “jubilee bustle,” which would play “God Save the Queen” when the wearer sat down. This, of course, created much curiosity and laughter. Having promised to put it on, I took my hosts into my confidence^ An aid-de-camp was pressed into the Service and armed with a small musical box Mas made to hide uuder a particular armchair. While the company was at luncheon I retired to don the so called “jubilee wonder,” aud when they were all assembled I marched in solemnly and slowly sat down on tiie armchair where the poor aid-de-camp Mas hiding his cramped limbs. To the delight and astonishment of every one the national anthem was heard gently tinkling forth. Every time I rose it stopped; every time 1 sat down it began again. I still laugh M'lieti I think of it and of the astonished fuegs about me.—“Reminiscences of Lady Randolph Churchill” lu Century.

A GREAT STATESMAN.

Humorous Incident of Gladstone's Rivalry With Disraeli. An anecdote of Gladstone at the time of bis greatest rivalry Mith Disraeli Is often retold. At a dinner party the subject of Judaism cropped up. “Admitted,” said Gladstone, “that the IlebreM'S have given the world a philosopher in Spinoza, musicians in Mendelssohn aud Meyerbeer, a poet In Heine, the fact remains that they have not produced a single statesman.” There Mas silence for a moment. Every one knew of course that this was a direct allusion to Disraeli. Then one of the company stepped into the breach. “Mr. Gladstone,” lie said, “as a matter of fact tiie Hebrews have produced a statesman and oue of the greatest the world lias seen." The fighting instinct of Mr. Gladstone surged up at once. “May I ask. sir.” he said pointedly, "who was this 11ehrew sta tesuia n ?" Every one. anticipating a more thau lively sei ne, waited in tense expectation for the answer. It came in the quietest tones, “Moses, sir.” Every one smiled, aud Mr. Gladstone joined in the laugh.—Vienna Welt.

The Attraction of Chess Problems. The mere player m-1io has never experienced the magnetic attraction of problems cannot fully realize the feeling of joy and satisfaction from solving some masterpiece, the work of a famous composer. There can lie no doubt that solving problems, especially from diagrams, is an Intellectual amusement and that the study of problems tends to accuracy of analysis, quickens the perception and strengthens tiie chess faculties generally and may occasionally impart some of those sparkling ideas which are so sadly needed In ordinary play.—Strand Magazine.
