An Unexpected Bath.

Ovide Musin, the violinist, was the : victim of an odd accident recently, j His concert company was about to be* ; gin an evening entertainment at * Baptist church, and Mr. Musin, arrayed in faultless evening dress, thought he would view tho audlenee without being seen. To accomplish his purpose he stepped behind a curtain which hung at the back of the platform. There was a splash, and the violinist found himself in three feet of water. He emerged a very wet and angry man. Mr. Musin had inadvertently stepped into the baptismal I font. It was after eight o’clock and the concert had begun. A young man j came to the violinist's rescue, how- ! ever, and said he would provide Mr. ! Musin with a dry outfit. But it was half an hour before he did, and Mr. Musin was several minutes late mak- I ing his appearance. The new trouser* fitted him rather awkwardly, and h® was not in a pleasant frame of mind, ; but he got through with his part of the programme, and the audience is prob- : ably still ignorant of the fact that he ■ had fallen into the font.—London Figaro-
