An ainusiug episode occurred some years ago when Ur. Dam rose h was giving a series of lecture recitals on the "Ring of the Xlbeluugeu.” The opera was "Das Kbeingold,’* and Mr. Daiuroseb. seated at the piano, was givlug in his kludly. Informal, da- llghtful fashion the various “ motives’* o f the music. He pluyed and explain ed the “ Rhine motive." the “ Alberich motive.” the motive of the “ gold,” the "Faflier motive.” Then he came to Lokl, the god of Hie. Half turning towurd his breath less audience, he played the theme, say- lug in his slow, grave way, “ And this —is the Lokl motive.” For a second there was silence; then a low ripple of laughter went over tha house. Hut Mr. Damrosch—bless him! —was so deeply absorbed that be neve er saw his droll word play at all. He gave a wondering glance over the au dience. probably thinking something amusing had happened there, then swept on hts rousing way like a steam' engine through the score.—New York Evening Sun. - t J.

Virtue is in rightful using Of the gifts bestowed us here. Life is not in idle pining Or passive drifting into Joy; Life is battling with the torrent Which unstemmed can but destroy. Virtue’s not where life anaemic Never ktiew temptation's lure; Virtue lies in overthrowing liase desire and thought Impure. Life is not in vapid dreaming Of some distant vague ideal; Life is labor and a strenuous Hourly conflict with the real. Virtue’s not in watching struggles High and dry on some safe shore. Enter in life’s heated contest. There you’ re needed more and more. British society women are getting more and more eccentric In the atten tion that they bestow upon their dead pet».

Many people prefer cremation for their pets, and there are any number of veterinary surgeons who have a crem atorium fitted up. In some cases the ashes, canine or feline, as the case may be. are iuclosed in a beautiful jeweled urn. A favorite bird is sometimes bur led in a bed of cottou wool. The well known pets’ cemetery In Hyde Park is now full, but there are plenty of similar cemeteries through out the country. There is one, for In stance, at Huntington, uud another at Haverhill, in Suffolk. In addition to this, there are hundreds of gardens In London where headstones marking tbe last resting place of some departed pet can l>e seen —Brook 13 m Eagle.
