His affectation is natural to him, | a second na usa, without the pol- | Sousa may be usefully compared. Their methods of obtaining results is another story, . e . It is with Strauss as with a “pled piper of Hamelin,” compelled to dance to his own piping, and, furthermore, compelled to pipe. Originally intended for the Con- sular service, he received an academic training and is a graduate of philosophy. But early in the sixties his musical bent became too strong and his career ag an orchestral leader began. But the diplo- mat is never forgotten, and the war b tween musician and statesman Is as pretty a thing In dual personalities as one may see on any platform. & A White-gloved, with grave, unsmiling and tall, slim-walsted figure of court- ly cut, breasted with honorable trinkets of all serts and sizes, Strauss steps on his conductor’s throne the very incarna- tion of dignity. For perhaps five whole minutes he remains the philosopher, quiet, | inperturbable, but with the second move- ment, his violin probably in hand, the en- chanting lilt and dreamy charm of the waltz bave him at their mercy. The idol's feet are discovered not of clay but quicksilver, The Yhflusnpher shamefully betrays the feet of Pan, and for the rest of the evening Strauss may be seen foot- ing it featly through waltz, and march, and polka indifferently, but always with a certaln air of marty thereto by a merciless demon of rhythm. He actually waltzed in_the Chopin “Fu- neral March” to a bit of interpolated Strauss rhythm. As a man driven by his own peculiar genifus into sometime distasteful ways, he is to the full as interesting as the leader of the best d of its kind in the world. He has the all compelling genfus of his famous family, without its all-absorption. He might have gained name in other walks of life. And the consclousness seems forever wit him, a wonder as to the ‘“‘worth-while- ness” of that which he has chosen, o ther, that which chose him. But w ho listen nefther wonder nor quest is the waltz king, the last of the . Russell, . the . singer Henry writer, composer of “Cheer!

Dr. Soren Christiansen of Missoula, Mont., was in Missouia yesterday on his way home after a two months' visit in Denmark. Dr. Christiansen was present at a remarkable attempt to bring back to life a man who had died in a hospital at Naestved, Denmark, two weeks ago. The experiment was measurably successful, as resuscitation was effected several hours after the man was pronounced dead. Dr, Maag, who was in charge, was unable to maintein life, however. The patient had died from typhold fever and Dr. Maag decided to try an experi- ment. Respiration had ceased completely and the body was cold. Direct massage of the heart was resorted to. The chest was cut open directly over the heart, and through the incision the physician passed his hand and seized the heart. He com- menced a series of compressions, and in @ short time the heart commenced to work of its own accord. The action of the heart gradually became stronger, but the man had not commenced to breathe, Only after the heart had been acting half an_hour did the first gasp for air come. The patient was then assisted in this for about an hour until finally he was able to breathe quite freely. At the same time his cheeks began to assume a natural color. He lay in this condition for an- other half hour, but without regaint consciousness or appearing to feel the fects of the incision. en there was a reaction and respiration ceased, although the heart continued to act eight hours longer. A second effort was made to in- duce heart action, but without result.— Minneapolis Times.

Lawyer Relates a Remarkable Cir- cumstance of a Shooting Affair. “Speaking of pistols,” said a New Or- leans lawyer, “I am reminded of a re- markable case in which I was interested soon after the war, when I was practicing over in' Alabama. A general shooting, af- fray, growing out of a family feud, had taken place at a crossroads store, and an influential planter named McDermott was killed. He was standing behind a little shed a considerable distance away at the time, and a young man named Lee Allen was firing out of the store window at an- other of the crowd. McDermott was hit in the head and the bullet was identified as coming from Allen’s pistol, which was an English weapon of a very unusual size aliber 47. But the singular part of the affair was that the place where the plant- er stood was out of range of the window. the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church sour 1 In the evening he will preach | can ascent in 1819, the first French ascent of place by ihe reflection the Eng- | ents were most numerous in the | when Mont Blanc was more difficult | in cases sleeplessness, ald to the digestion le he adds that, as @ of often fairly indi- than it is now.

Sometimes it sailed up Into the air, sometimes it plunged downward and sometimes it swooped off to one sie. The explanation, however, was simple. It seemed that Allen had found the barrel too long, and a week or 80 before the fight had filed off several inches. That operation completely de- stroyed the effcet of the rifling, and in- stead of imparting a true circular twist to the bullet it gave it a peculiar ‘Eng lish,’ as billiard players would say, which was as liable to send as another.
