In the musical world of Europe no
tftaoher stands higher than Mme. Mar-
' thetl, and yet first Interview with hfr
; ' It an ordeal to be dreaded. She may tell
7on with almost brutal frankness that
your oherished vooal projects are thin
s air babbles and that yon bad better
torn your attention to' oooking. ' Or,
with one nnosnal gleam of her gray
eyes and ooe sudden indrawn breath,
making her thin lips still thinner, she
may tell yon that yon are destined to
lift the heart of the world In immortal
Jong and wear the laurels of a great
lyric oareer. Again, she may tell yon
rlth the same blnnt severity that yon
Jiave no looks at all for the stage, and
after yon bare been accepted as a pupil
yon are still subjected to ber merciless
severity.
To be taught by Mme. Marches! is
not to have the luxury of an individual
lesson, an hour's good, cozy, comfort
able time all to yourself. By no means.
That is not her plan. Yon are taught
In class. Yon are thus introduced at
once to an audience. Yon thus have an
opportunity of conquering stage fright
Yon are thus submitted to the criticism
of others. Not only your voice, but
your manners, your gait, your way of
.holding your hands are studied. From
.head to foot you are scrutinized.
A small platform is in the center of
3Iarcbesi'i salon, where the pupil stands
and recites (or sings) her lesson. The
class sit around the room and criticise.
The popil has to face not only the class,
but the audience includes of ten the first
musicians of the world. How does a
sensitive woman bear the gun fire of
.Mme. Mavohesi's criticism, her ridicule,
tier sarcasm and severity f One day one
of the class was having her IS minutes
ci lesson before a crowded room. Mar
cbeei waa in a sardonio humor that
morning. Ber remarks were brilliant,
tat more cutting than a Damascus
fclade. The audience felt that a climsz
was coming. It came. The girl's lip
'fcegan to tremble as Marcheai's co mo
mentary sparkled and cnt and sparkled!
again. Her lip trembled more and
.more. The agitation gained upon her
-whole body, till she shook like a willow
in the wind. Poor dear, the other pu
pils held their breath. The room was
ailent as a tomb. Yon could hear Mar
cher's watch tick in her pocket Still
the pnpil strove to bring out the tone
that those severe lips of Marches! had
commanded. At last the voioe rolled
out The tone gained upon the room.
The voice stopped.
"Yon sing like a fool!" literally
hissed Marchesi, and the storm broke.
J The girl burst into tears. Her sobs,
coming upon the silence, were most
jainfuL Not one of the pupils dared to
rush forward with comfort or handker
chief. The girl threw the sheet of mu
sic on the floor aud covered her face
with her bands. Then, dashing the
tears away from her face, she stooped
down, gathered up the scattered music,
tore it into shreds, tossed it to every
part of the room, and rushed from the
platform stage. All felt it was over
with ber forever, so far as lessons with
Marchesi were concerned, and more
'than one heart ached for her.
"Ha, ha!" laughed Marchesi, rising
delightedly from the piano, rubbing her
.hands together and walking, or rather
stalking, majestically through the room
and op and down and again seating
herself at the piano. "Ha, bat That
girl will sing I Sue has the grand tire.
She is dramatic She has the fine pas
sion ot the tievii." And the girl came
back the next day and won Marchesi'a
fcravos and hand clapping.
Upon another occasion Marchesi sat
In judgment upon a pupil's bands aa
abe stood upon the platform.
"Now, dout put up your lip like a
baby," she xays, "if I tell you that I
never saw such a booby. You're as awk
ward as a country clown. Look at your
&audsl Just look at tbem dangling
down at your sides like a jumping jack
waiting to twitch on a pole. Mais, voi
a,"sbe continued, softening a little,
"if I do not tell yon. ma chere, of these
things now while yon are in my salon,
do you know who will tell you of them
later on when vou stand for the first
time before one of the great andiences
f Europe? The reporters will flay you
alive and deservedly. Will they not note
down every awkward gesture, every
gaucherie? Will they not say, 'She has
a divine voice, but she held ber bands
like a clown?" And when you read it in
all the papers tlie next molting, ah,
how you will esclaim, ' Why did not
.Marchesi correct me. tell me, reprove
me, no mutter how sevrely?' Now,
hold your bunds easily, one palm crossed
npon the rher, the right hand across
the left, the forehuger and middle fin
ger of the right baud between the thumb
and forefinger of the left buurl. Bon I
Now, see what ease of position, what
repose it gives to your whole figure as
yon stand there. "
To look over the programme for the
jonoerts Mme. Marchesi gives from
time to tirae is to read a strange collec
tion of names. Here are pupils from
Japan. Here is a name from Nor
way. Here is a lady from Finland.
Here are sturdy Scotch names. Here are
American names girls from St. Louis,
San Francisco, the Maine woods, the
gulf states. . New Zealand has repre
sentatives on the programme. To look

the portraits of the world's great sing
ers and their signatures. New York

It ii many years since Murk TVain's

punching of variously oolored slip by
street railway conductors to prevent
their "holtlinji op the company" ran
riot through tho land, and the "bntf

doned by most street railways in favor
of the clock faced indicator. This is a
fairly good devioe, but still it may be
worked by a clever man not unwilling
to divert a few nickels . to his own
pocket In Toronto the company baa a
scheme which, so far aa any one knows,
baa never yet been circumvented by a
conductor. Indeed, it is difficult to see
bow it could be got around without the
connivance of a passenger. By this plau
the conductor does not touch money or
tickets at all S ben collecting, be car
ries around a specially made receptacle
into which the passenger must put hit
own ticket or 6 cent piece. The con
doctor who violates the company's rales
by taking the fare from the passenger
and putting it into the fare holder is
liable to discharge. At the end of each
collection the receptacle is hung upon a
special hook and must there remain un
til more passengers board the car.
The cars of the trolley line between
Minneapolis and St Paul are fitted with
admirable appliances to prevent acci
dents to passengers careless in stepping
on and off. At the rear end of each car
tre folding gates whicn ntlder ,he
control of the motorman, who does not
open them until the car has reached a
fnll stop and closes them before it
starts again. Controlled by the same
lever aa that which opens and closes the
gates are folding steps, which let down
when the gates open and close np when
they shut
The managers of this same line have
carried the street car advertising notion
to a greater length than the managers
of most other trolley lines in the United
Statea In addition to the ordinary space
for advertisement over the windows,
tbe backs of the seats are provided with
panels for the display of advertising
matter. This does not, however, seem
to attract the advertisers of tbe twin
cities very ranch, for tbe panels are very
rarely atilized except for amusement
announcements. Exchange.

Phil May, tbe artist and caricaturist,
tells of a funny experience he bad on
his return from a tour for the London
Graphic:
When I came bark to London, I
hastened to the office, and imagine my
gratification when I saw everywhere
resplendent banners bearing the inscrip
tion in large letters, "Welcome to
May."
"This is indeed fame." I thought,
and when I got to The Graphic office
there was another inscription, with
flowers and all the rest of it, "Welcome
toAL and G." The G. worried me a
bit, but then the name of the man who
went out with me commenced with G.
I told tbe editor of my gratification.
"Why, you egotistical idiot," he re
marked politely, "it's nothing to do
with you I It's tbe marriage of Prince
George and Princess May."

The following list shows that a great
deal of money is made from popular
music in England:
Sir Arthur Sullivan is said to have
realized 10,000 by his celebrated cong
"The Lost Chord." Balfe appears to
bave received high prices for the copy
rights of some of his songs. For "I
Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls" be
got 8,000, the same for "When Other
Lips," and 6,000 for "The Heart
Bowed Down. " When recently put np
for auction, 1,213 16s. was obtained
for the copyright of Michael Watson's
song "Anchored." Harper's Round
Table.
An English writer says that if tbe
Prussian conscription were applied in
India England would have 2,600,000
regular soldiers actually in barracks,
with 800,000 recruits coming up every
year a force with which not only Asia
but the world might be subdued.

THE ARTIST'S PRIVILEGE.
Ko FhM of Ufa Which too Roallit May
Not Touch.
In a defense of bis literary methods
Arthur Morrison, tbe English novelist,
writes in The New Review
"I have been asked, in print, If I
think that there is no phase of life
which tbe artist may not touch. Most
certainly I think this; more, I know it
It is the artist's privilege to sock his
material where be thinks well, and it
Is no man's privilege to say him nay.
If tbe community baa left horrible
places and horrible lives before bis
eyes, then tbe fanlt is that of the com
munity, and to pioture these places and
these lives becomes not merely bis priv
ilege, bat bis duty. It was my fate to
anoonnter a place in Shoreditch where
children were born and reared in cir
cumstances that gave those children no
reasonable chance of living decent lives.
where they were born foredamned to a
oriminal or semicrimiual career. It
waa my experience to learn the ways of
this place, to know its inhabitants, to
talk with them, eat, drink and work
with them.
"For the existence of this place and
for the evils it engendered the com
munity was responsible, and every
member of the community waa and is
responsible in bis degree. If I bad been
rich man, I might bave attempted to
discharge my peculiar responsibility in
one way ; if I had been a statesman, I
might bave tried another. Being neither
of these things, but a simple writer of
fiction, I endeavored to do my duty by
writing a tale wherein I hoped to bring
tbe condition of this place within the
comprehension of others. There are
those wbo say I ahould have turned
away my eyes and passed by on the
other side, on the very respectable
precedent of tbe priest and the Levite

HIS NAME NOT ON THE LIST.
So, by Crotom Law, Thto Steamship
aaafor Waa Not a Pmmagmw.
A passenger on one of the transatlantic
steamers that arrived here recently
stepped into the line of people wbo
were making their declarations before
the customs officer and told bis name.
"Can't taker your declaration," the
officer said after exumiuing the passen
ger list "I don't see your name there."
"But I got my ticket on Friday
night," the passenger responded, "and
the time was too short to bave allowed
of my name being pot on the list"
'That makes n difference," an
swered the inspector. "Unless your
name is on the lint you are not a pas
senger, and I cannot take year declara
tion. Nobody not on the list tan be re
garded as a passenger. "
The New Yorker said a lew tbingn.

out of the line. Then be went i search
of tbe captain. Tbe captain came np
And wrote tbe passenger's name on- the
inspector 'a list axtd the declaration waa
duly taken. Aftev this formality had
been finished tbe passenger asked the
inspector his reason for refusing to take
his declaration ira the first place. To
this question he added tbe remark that
on a aomber of trips to Europe be bad
left at such abort notice that his name
bad not got on tbe passenger list, bat
be bad never had any such experlenoe
with the English inspector.
"I don't know anything about that,"'
the official replied, "bot tbe rule in
the United States is that unless a man 's
name i on the passenger list be is not
officially regarded as a passengor. and
we cannot recognize him as such until
his name appears there; Yon were all
right as soon as the captain wrote your
name, bat until then yon bad no stand
ing as a passenger. " Sw York Sun.

"But a second is all lwant,"pe
listed the caller.
"I'll see yon directly, sir," with,
sternness.
The visitor took a seat in the gener
al reception room, read tbe afternoon
paper through, looked at the pictures,
played with the dog and took a nap.
After 80 minutes or more had pawed
the medicine man came eut of bis den

to the visitor:
