Lahee In "Famous Singers of "Today," "she was Informed of the existence of a plot to hiss her off the stage. .' Hav ing ascertained the names of her de-j tractors and -wfyere they were to be found, "she donned male - attire, -to ' Which, her short hair and robust fig ure helped to complete her disguise, and went to the cafe at which the conspirators met. - Here she f ound them in full consultation,' and, taking a seat at a table, she listened to their conversation for a time. After awhile she addressed the leader, saying: 'I hear that you intend to-play a trick : upon some one. I am very fond of a little practical joke myself and should be glad if you would allow me to join you on this occasion.' . " " . " 'With pleasure, was the reply. 'We intend to hiss an opera singer off the stage this evening. " 'Indeed! And of what is she" guilty?' . - - " 'Oh, nothing, except that, being ah. Italian, she has sung In Munich and Vienna to German audiences, and we think she ought to receive some casti-gation- for her unpatriotic conduct' " 'I agree with you, and now please tell me what -I am to do.' " 'Take this whistle,' said the leader. At a signal to' be given at the conclu sion of the air sung by Rosina the noise will begin, and you will have to join in.' " 'I shall be very glad to do so,' said the singer and put the whistle in her pocket : - "In the evening the house was pack-ed-r-every seat was occupied and the audience warmly applauded the open ing numbers of the opera. In "due course Mme. Alboni appeared, and at the-point at which she was about to address her, tutor a few of the con spirators began to make a disturbance, not waiting for the signal. . 7- "Without showing any concern Mme. Alboni walked down to the footlights, and, holding tip the whistle, which was hung to her neck by a ribbon, she exclaimed: 'Gentlemen, are you not a little before your time? I thought we were not to commence whistling until. I had sung the air.' 'Por a moment a deathly stillness prevailed; then suddenly , the house, broke into thunders of applause, which was led by the conspirators them selves.". " '- ; J. B. MORRIS. M.

Famous Surgeon. -Dr. GrenfeU an old London hospital pupil, in a . sketch of Sir, Frederick Treves in the Pall Mall Gazette tells the story of a tiny sovereign gold piece given by a grateful patient to the famous surgeon, and guaraea Dy. him as a- priceless treasure. A sailor from Norway had been operated on by Sir Frederick in hospital. :. His life had been saved, and he had gone his way. Late one evening - a timid knock brought Sir. Frederick himself at that unusual hour to his door In Wimpola street. A tall," gaunt sailor In thread bare attire asked if this was where 'Mr. Treves lives." At his earnest re quest, though somewhat under protest, he was allowed to enter. He at.pnce proceeded to get out Jackknife, and from the lining of the belt of his trou sers he cut out a small gold piece and offered it to Sir Frederick. On his re fusal to accept It the: man was so hurt that Sir Frederick listened to his story, and an interesting one It was. The : man ,had on leaving hospital sought a berth at the London docks, but, being a stranger, had been unable to get oheHe, had got out of money and had gone hungry day after day, though he knew that he. had sewed up In his waistband by his wife in Nor way the piece of gold In question. ' He had got so pulled down by bad living that he at last decided he must spend the money, but that very day he suc ceeded in getting a berth; on a ship, and his advance had given the food he stood so sorely in need of. He had promptly tramped all the way to Wim pole street,.vand his .bearing .was such that " Sir ; Frederick found himself "bowing Into the darkness, holding the gold piece in his -hand and .with an overwhelming sense - of - inferiority strongly impressed on his mind. ' A Modest Art Student. An art student In Berlin wrote to a brewing concern- in Bohemia, offering to paint for the brewers "pictures suit able for advertising purposes artistic, appropriate, attractive and cheap." He" went on to say: "Sir John Millals was not above taking 40,000 marks from a soapmaker for one of his paintings to be used as an advertisement. Nor did he hesitate to offer other pictures for the same purpose at the same price. Why should not I, who owe my tailor and who fears to look my landlady in the face, not do the same? Stay! I shall do better. Am willing to take less than 40,000 marks for my best work." v -: Slow and Sure. - "How Is my son getting along?" asked, a parent of the headmaster of a school. "He's slow and sure," was the re sponse. - ' . - "That's satisfactory r - - "Not so," rejoined the master. "By It I mean that he is slow to learn and sure to forget." London Telegraph.
