The Dg of the interview was that John lew the kitchen with bis face as red as fire, tackled his horses, threw valise and feed-bags into the wagon, flung the amount of his reckon- ing on the table. and addressing Lucy, who, | pale and terrified, stood, bundle in hand, pre: | pared for flight, cailed out: | * Now, then, good girl, you've lost one | place by my fauit, and I’m darned if I don’t | offer you another.

She continued: “It Is des as good to have dlffer- ent ones, ain’t it, mamma?” Mamma said that she thought it looked bet- ter to have shoes on alike, and not one of one color and the other of another. “Oh, weil” she cried, with a careless toss ot her curly head, “maybe Vil go next day before Yesterday and give her this other new blue shoe, and I des as Hef have the black ones, ‘cause she is such a nice poor Uttle girl and she don’t never have no blue shoes.

The envelope of compli- cated structure and vital function which covers the body, and which nature has destined to perform a large share of the labor of health pre- serving, is practically thrown out of use by our habit of loading It with clothes. It 1s needless to complicate matters by allowing It to be choked and encumbered with dirt. It the skin Of an animal be coated with an impervious var- uish, death must ensue. A covering of dirt is only less inimical to ife.

Now, | -pplying the same test to this sonata, what did | you understand by it—what did ft all mean?’ |, {‘Well, really,” said the lady, hesitatingly, “I had never thought of asking myself such a ques- on.

With a healthy sense of his degradation he approached a m{fld young man who had follow- ed the sonata ina book containing the score, “*What a magnificent sonata, eb?” W sald the youne man enthustlas- tically. ‘uch consonance, such harmonic pro- gression, such fundamental themes!” “Now I have got it,” thought the reporter. Jere is the well of knowledge at last. Which ent theme do you Uke best?” said he aloud, “Oh, that In the andante,” said the yor man, “where tt goes rum, tum, tl, to, ti, to, U witha to, ti, t, fo, tiddi, iddi tum.” Sounds a sood deal like the last part of ‘Yankee Doodle,’ don’t it?” said the reporter. “ There may be a chance resemblance,” said an the young man Pen: “but the gran- ax the di ed intervals is something superb.” ~ What do you suppose the composer intended this sonata to express?” * Express, express, it expresses—why, sir, this Sonata Is One Of the best examples of classical dusic extant.” And the young man turned his glittering eye-glasses upon his questioner with a ferocity that drove down to the depths of the minor scales, But a few seats off from this terrible young man sata couple of young girls, sweeping the orchestra seats with their opera glasses. Know- Ing them as school companions of his sister, the Chronicle Iman worked his way down until he planted himself directly behind them. “Came to hear the sonata, I suppose?” sa.d he, suddenly. Both girls turned round in- Stuntly, prepared fo look very serious, saw who It Was, and at once began to snicker. “Oh, wasn’t tt altogether too beautiful?” said the plumper of the two. *-So classical, you know, tee-hee-hee,” said the second, who was small and brune, “Just too classical for anything, [ think,” said the comfortable blonde. “Oh, lovely,” said the other. “Which pay of itdid you lke best?” esxed the Chronicle man. The pretty pair looked blankly at each other, then both tittered and sald jp a duet: “ Why, the whole of it, of course.” “ Ofcourse,” repeated their tormentor. “Let mne see; whose sonata is {t?”” “Handel's, to be sure, you stupid fellow,” sal brown eyes, ,Sald the fair-skinned gir), Why no, Angy, Mendelssohn's. “T thought it was Beethoven’s,” said (Ba ine quisitor, with malice aforethought.

What a ridiculous mis- take.” ‘he brunette was the first to regain her com- osure. ‘Oh, see, Kose,” she cried, “there's 3 orge looking up at us.” And with the coldest possible bow of acknowledgment to the Chroni- cle man’s adieu, both smiled like a ripe fleld of Wheat in a breeze to handsome George. A well-known musician was just then pass- ing up the aisle, and the reporter, clinging in despcration to the skirts of his coat, pulled him down tnto a vacant seat and asked him what he Ubought of the sonata, “* Techuteally,” said the musician, “it was abominable,” “ Now, that’s exacuy what I think,” said the Terorter, ‘* What strikes you as being his worst slip?” “ Why,” sald the musician, ‘ the fellow actu- ally played a passage written for sixteenth notes in full chorus, while tn the third move- ment, where there are five pages or scales, he Positively skipped three.” * Would you ever play this sonata for your personal gratification?” asked the reporter. The musician smiled addly, and sald: ‘ Well, no, I fancy not, though as a severe course of study it is very useful” “« And so are Czerny’s Etudes, are they not?” ‘The musician oddly again smiled; said, “Cer- | tamly, certainly,” and went out, | At this moment the chronicte man caughtthe | eye of Mrs. X., and-knowing her to be rather | proud of her een speaking, decided that here was presented a possible short cut to the infor- mation desired. “How did you like the sonata?”he asked, with- out any attempt at varying the formula. “AS well as I like any sonata,” replied Mme. X. “They all seem the same to me,” Is not this heresy?” “‘Yes, as an opinion in opposition to an estab- lished fashion.” * But,” sald her astonished querist, “you do not mean to say that all this appreciation of classical mustc ts oply a fashion?” “Nothing else In the world,” said the lady, crisply. | “I venture to say that’not one person out of fifty here present has the faintest idea of what the sonata was all about or who enjoyed the music, This fashion of pretending to under- Stand and admire a half hour of runs, scales and exercises 1s just like that other fashion of Pretending to see beauties in some old smoke- dimmed, cracked plece of canvas sup to be the masterpiece of some great painter who lived, heaven knows how many hundred years age Sometimes there is a pretty minuet or a charming air to be found in a sonata, but taken all together the pearls are very few, and the whole ig to me a most unproductive pile of oyster shells.

Some Things Not Told in Sir Theo- cere Poe Life ef the Prince le (From the Hour.} ‘Theodore Martin has omitted minor ey isodes of domestic life of the Queen and Prince Albert, which woul i, perhaps. have nee te ee related them in his “Life of the Prince Consort.” When the august pair were first married, although the mee phi ot pe oe on the = ler Majesty could not always control her temp and On the occasion of one of those trifling quarrels which occur even in the best regulated families, she threw a tea cup at the Ince’s head. He, excessively indignant, re- Ured to his apartments and locked the door. The Queen’s anger having somewhat abated, she thought him some of the went away. By and by she thought she would try sgain, and to the * Who's there?” answered * Victoria.” Again there was compiete silence, and she aj retired. With. the perseverance charact sic of a woman alarmed at the trouble to come, she determined to try a third time, ard in response to the “ Who's there?” replied. sobbingly: “Your own loving wifa” This was, brought Prince Albert to terms, and re-established. It is sald there was no more veccup throwing in the happy family. | Yet Victoria always remained an exacting wife, and never allowed her spouse what 1s bonrgevisement known asa latchkey. As the Prince presided at_many pubtic dinners, it was often close to midnight before he could possibly reach Windsor, and he had accordingly always a storm to face for “keeping late hours.” Finally, the Queen ordered the castle gates to be closed at 10% p.m., and tie now much monumented husband was locked out if he hap- pened to be behind time. Piince Albert was thoroughly stingy, and was cordially disliked by the servants of the royal household. He ruthlessly abolished all the perquisites which, from long custom, they | considered themselves entitled to. He went so | far as to confiscate the money they received by disposing of the ends of the wax candles usea { to tlluminate the ball and concert rooms. Even in the houses of the smaller gentry the servants are accustomed to refresh with cold meat and beer any of thelr friends or the tradesmen call- ing during the day. At Buckingbam Palace the same custom prevailed. This, however, Was too much for the Prince’s German i or trugality, and he ordered the neat placed on board wages, so that any hospital they wished to show their friends had to be paid for out of theirown pockets. Little won- cer, then, that when he died the grief in the servants’ hall was not uncontrollable, How to Make a Herbarium, [The Queen. The first thing to dots to collect the plauts. ‘They should be carefully dug up with atrowel, ‘So as Lo preserve the root intact, as, to form a for specimen, it is necessary to have the root, eaves, flowers and fruit. It also adds to the value of aspecimen if the seedling is shown, ihe autumn tint of the leaves; Ifa parasite, the plant on which it grows, ete. | When going on a collecting expedition, it is a good plan to carry a few sheets of new: paper ina portiolio and to place the plants flat between the pages as soon as they are dug up, If this ts not conventent, they will keep fresh for some time if placed in a tin case or vasculum. To dry them the surest way Is to lay them between a good many sheets of blotting or newspaper, with a board at the top and bottom of the pile, and a heavy weight placed on the top of all. Change the papers every two or three days, and take care wo keep Sheets of paper between them, or the thick s'ems will crumple and bend the thinner ones. The sheets of paper on which to mount the plants must be rather stout and of a uni- form size— 16+; inch by 10% inch fs a useful size; but of course this must depend on the taste of the collector. Botanists differ very much as to the best method of attaching the Specimens to the paper. Some attach them by means of strips of paper secured with pins, others gum or glue the specimec:-3, otherg fasten. them with gummed straps of paper, @ sew them @ necdle and thread to the paper. The best however, ig to combine the last uhree met and to secure plants of a medium size, such as the buttercup, with narrow gum- med strips of paper; thick, woody plants, such as the oak, with glue; and such delicate plants as ferns and grasses should be tacked to the aper by Means of a needie and thread as much Ene color ef the specimen as possible. Weak gum may be used for the large petals of flowers, and for large flat Ged when if is used the plants must again be under heavy pres- Sure to dry, or they will shrivel. The plan fol- lowed in eae herbana Is to lay the plants be- tween a double sheet of paper, without fasten- ing them to the paper at all. When managed in this way they are more easily examined; but the great disadvantage of this plan is that both the plants and their labels are very apt to be- ccme tuserted In the wrong sheets among speci- Inens of totally different species. When fastening the plants to the paper they should not all be arranged precisely in the cen- ter of the page, but should fastened more at the sides, otherwise, when the plants are laid one above the other, the packet will not be nearly flat, but will be higher in the middle than at the sides. With regard to the names of the plants, they may either be written on the sheet itself or on printed labels sold for the purpose. If the herbarium is to be anald to the study of botany, aud nota mere ornamental coltection of eal Got plants and tlowers, tt will be found very convenient to inclose a tower, f-ult, bud, etc., of the plant In a litue envelope fastened at one corner of the paper, so as to avoid touching the rest of the plant for the pur- pose of examination. These little envelopes lay be made on the same plan as those used by tredi sme n to fi close change, or may simply con- gst of a plece ot paper folded so as to form a Smiail tat Case, slnilar to those tn which seeds- men inclose and druggists powders, etc. The labels must contain a brief history of the eee thuse its technical and common names, ab.tat, by whom collected, where and when, and the order to which it belongs. After the plants have been fastened down and labeled, the next thing is to poison them, or the insects will scon find them out, and it will be observed Uat they show thelr good taste by feeding solely on juicy, succulent plants, scarcely ever touching the dry, sticky plants. The best poison for this purpose consists of one pound each of corrosive sublimate and carbolic acid to four gallons of methylated spirits, The reat. drawback to the preparation is its sagreeable smell. The plants are simply alnted with it after or before fastening own; If it is done before, they require to be pressed while the poison isdrying. The best way of preserving the color of flowers is to dry them quickly, elther by placing them between sheets of paper, tying them together firmly, and drying them near a hot fire; gby ing } them amongst dry sand, or by pressing them with a warn. flat fron, This ts an excellent pian, but great care must be taken not to have the iron too hot, or the plants will become brittle. No varnishing ts requisite In forming a herba- rium; if the piants are properly dried and stuck down they look better without It. When the plants have all been duly affixed to their re- spective sheets and labelled, they are ready to be placed in covers, so as to be handy for refer- ence. Each genus should have a separate cover, which should be of stouter paper than that on which the pee are mounted. The name of the genus should be written distinctly in the bottom right-han@ corner.
