A TRICK OF HAYDN.
Tlie o(e That Mor.art Thought It
Was lmiioMttible to I'lay.
Haydn and Mozart were great
friends. When either had composed a
masterpiece the other was invited to
the house of the composer to enjoy the
trst sweetness. It chanced to be
Haydn's turn, and Mozart came full of
expectation. Contrary to custom, Haydn
tovited his guest to give his Interpreta
tion of the theme Instead of playing it
rver himself. Much pleased at the com
fjiment, Mozart played brilliantly, for
the work was beautiful and his musi
cian's soul was stirred.
Suddenly he baited nnd looked across
Hie piano at his friend.
"There's a mistake here," he said. "A
passage written for three hands would
e impossible for a soloist. Of course
those notes must come out."
"Oh," said Haydn quietly, "I can
play it."
Mozart laughed.
"My friend, you have not three
Kands." (
"Ferhaps not," answered naydn.
"Nevertheless I contend that I can ,
play the passage. I would not have j
Written it otherwise."
"A challenge!" cried Mozart 'Trove'
Spur word." And he yielded his place :
at the piano. J
His excitement rose as naydn reach-;
d the disputed passage, when, to bis
apnozement, the composer brought his
aose to the keyboard, and the notes ,
mag out clear and true.
The Ordeal ItallUc 041.
' In Ceylon the system of "witch flnd
Idfl" is both unique and terrible. Some
jB from newly gathered king cocoanuts
M manufactured by one of the friends
tt the complainant. This Is poured Into
H primitive stone vessel 'and heated to
be boiling point. Each of the suspect
4 witches is then brought upon the
aeene and" is then and there compelled
to dip three fingers of the right hand
Into the seething caldron, each having
a right under her Ideas of justice to
throw the oil remaining upon her fin
gers into the face of the complainant,
who stands near by.
While this ordeal is being undergone
t single exclamation of pain on the part
of the suspected person Is constructed
to be an admission of guilt. If no such
exclamation Is made the Innocence of
the accused Is supposed to be estab
lished. It Is said that every tenth per
son on the Island of Ceylon has maimed
fingers ns a result of having met the
"ordeal of boiling oil."
Swimming "Sailor Fashion,"
It was a redheaded boy from across :
the tracks on his good behavior nt the
swimming hole above the dam that I .
first saw swim hand over hand, or
"sailor fashion," as we called It, right
ly or wrongly I know not. I can hear
ww the crisp, staccato little smack bis
and gave the water as he reached for
Wrd. '1
It has ever since been my envy and '
tfespalr. It Is so knowing, so "sporty."
I class it with being able to wear a :
pink barred shirt front with a dla
suond cluster pin In It, with being gen
Inely fond of horse racing, with being
a first class poker pluyer, with being
delighted with the company of actors
what wouldn't I give If I could be like
that? My life has been a sad one, but
I might find some comfort In It yet If I
could only get that natty little Bpat on
the water when I lunge forward swim
ming overhand. McClure's.
Animal Longevity.
Some curious statistics have been
published upon what an Insurance ac
tuary would describe as the "expecta
tion of life" In animals. Among (ho
larger species of cattle there Is some
approach to uniformity. Thus for the
horso and the ass the extreme limit Is
about thirty-five years and for homed
cattle about thirty. For the dog It Is
given ns twenty-live, while sheep,
goats, pigs and cats ore grouped at fif
teen. Rut there are stranger dispari
ties among birds. While a goose may
livo thirty years, a sparrow twenty
five and a crow as many as 100, ducks,
poultry and turkeys die of old age nt
twelve years. The palm for longevity
is divided between elephant und par
rot Both pass the century.
The Pun era of Hunger.
At the dinner table Robert oto him
self Into a State of great satisfaction,
while his relatives stared In wonder.
At last he was actually forbidden to
eat any more. On the way home he
pulled something from his pocket and
began gnawing it.
"What Is that?" asked his mother.
"It's only dog biscuit,'' said Itobert
upologetleally.
"Where did you get It?"
"Well," said Uobert, "I knew I should
be hungry before I got home, so I took
Jt nway from Fldo."-Philadelphia Rec
ord. Circnntstnnt'es Alter Cavea.
"The boys ore throwing stones at a

"Outrageous."

Feline amenities show themselves
most forcibly at committee meetings.
There was one of these latter gathered
together to discuss a charity bazaar.
The chairman smiled sweetly upon the
artist's wife and said:
"You'll get your husband to let us
have some little thing of his for the art
table, will you not, Mrs. Maulstick?"
"Well, you know husbands are not
always easily managed, my dear."
"Ah, but take him after one of yonr
nice dinners nnd then put in a word
for our worthy cause. I!ut remember
we are not allowed to have anything
which sells for over ?25."
"Indeed!" And then Mrs. M.'s eye
brows went up alarmingly. "Then

Painting Animals' Eyes.
One of the most difficult things which
the artists and taxidermists of the gov
ernment studio have to do Is the paint
ing and preparation of glass eyes for
the mammals, birds and reptiles
mounted at that Institution for exhibi
tion In the National museum.
These "eyes" are made of glass, hol
low within and from the rear, so that
the inner surface may be painted any
color desired. As no two animals' eyes
re alike and as the colors are often
complicated and unnsual, It requires a
frtat deal of skill, study and practice
before one is competent to undertake
the work.

ard. "I feel as young
now, at thirty, as I
did at eighteen years
of age."
That is part of the statement of one
woman, mother of six children, who
found new life by the use of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It is not the or
dinary cares of the family, nor the natu
ral obligations of motherhood, which
make women prematurely old. But it is
the womanly diseases, draining away the
vitality, and undermining the strength,
which take the roundness and supple
ness from the form, the bloom from the
cheek and the brightness from the eye.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures
those womanly diseases which rob women
of youth and beauty. It establishes reg
ularity, dries enfeebling drains, heals
inflammation and ulceration, and cures
female weak new. It makes weak women
strong and sick women well. It brings
back to the mother the lightheartednes9
of her bridal day. This is the testimony
of thousands of women who have re
newed their youth by the use of Fa
Torite Prescription."
