A TRICK OF HAYDN.
The Not* That Slosart Thodght It
Wn» Impossible to Plar*
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
tirst sweetness. It chanced to be
Haydn’s turn, and Mozart came full of
•xpectation. Contrary to custom,Haydn
Invited his guest to give his interpreta
tion of the theme instead of playing it
over himself. Much pleased at the com
pliment, Mozart played brilliantly, for
the work was beautiful and his musi
cian’s soul was stirred.
Suddenly lie halted and looked across
the piano at his friend.
“There’s a mistake here/* he said. "A
passage written for three bauds would
be impossible for a soloist. Of course
those notes must come out.”
“Oh.” said Haydn quietly, “I can
play it.”
cart laughed.
“My friend, you have not three
amis.”
“Perhaps not,” answered Ilaydn.
Nevertheless I contend that I can
play the passage. I would not have
ritten it otherwise.”
“A challenge!” cried Mozart. “Prove
our word.” And he yielded his place
it the piano.
i excitement rose as Haydn reach-
1 the disputed passage, when, to Ills
lenient, the composer brought his
to the keyboard, and the notes
rang out clear and true.

GRANTING A FAVOR.
Dt) it (araliouKly—Do Not Make the
Recipient Feel Contemptible.
The essence of truest kinduces lies in
the grace with which it is performed.
Some men seem to discount all grati
tude, almost make it impossible, by the
way in which they grant favors. They
make you feel so small, so mean, so in
ferior; your checks burn with indigna
tion in the acceptance of the boon you
seek at their hands. You feel it is like
a bone thrown at u dog instead of the
quick, sympathetic graciousness that
forestalls your explanations and
waives your thanks with a smile, the
pleasure of one friend who has been fa
vored with the opportunity to be of
service to another. The man who
makes another feel like an insect re
clining on a red hot stove while he is
receiving a favor has no right to ex
pect future gratitude; he should feel
satisfied if lie rereives forgiveness.
Let us forget the good deetls we have
done by making them seem small in
comparison with tie* greater things
are doing and the still greater arts
hope to do. This is true generosity and
will develop gratitude in tin* soul of
him who has been helped unless he i
so petrified in selfishness as to make i
impossible, lint constantly remimlinj
a man of the favors he has receive.

Among Them Are Pole Climbing, Ax
Throwing and Spade Racing.
The Boer is a firm believer in the
advantage of exercise, though his ways
are not ours. One favorite form is
pole climbing. This consists of hav
ing one arm tied behind the back and
swarming to the top of the pole with
the aid of the legs and the free aim.
It sounds simple, but it ia not half so
simple as it seems.
Another exercise is throwing the
hatchet, or ax, to be more correct. An
ordinary wood chopping ax is used for
this. This is swung round the bead
until it reaches a sufficient momentum,
when it is released. The man who
throws the farthest does not of uecessi
ty win, as it is necessary that the blade
should bury itself in the earth on
reaching its destination. It requires a
considerable amount of skill to accom
plish this.
Another kind of amusement is spade
racing. The men stand with one foot
on either side of an ordinary spade,
grasping the top of the handle between
the hands. At the signal they start
forward by a series of jumps.* If a
man’s foot leaves Its proper place he
Is disqualified. There is no more se
vere strain on the muscles of the leg
than this. The distance for such a
race as this Is generally twenty paces.
The Boer is gifted with wonderful
endurance. At long distances he could
hold his own with any, but he would
not stand any chance with our men at
sprint racing, us lie lacks the necessary
speed.
The Snored Scarab.
The sacred searabivus was for many
centuries venerated by ancient Egyp
tians, a cult shared recently by Hotten
tots and akin to that of the holy cricket
of Madagascar.
In explanation of this Thespesion
said, “The Egyptians do not venture to
give form to their gods; they use sym
bols of occult meaning.” A black and a
golden green beetle were both regard
ed as emblems of Ra. the sun god; of
I’tah, the creative power, and of re
birth. resurrection and Immortality.
Kvery beetle was held to be male and
self produced. Its thirty toes symbol
ized the days of a month, and the pel
let of dung in which it rolled along its
eggs was a type of the movements of

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 the
larger species of cattle there is some
approach to uniformity. Thus for the
horse and the ass the extreme limit is
about thirty-five years and for horned
cattle about thirty. For the dog it is
given as twenty-five, while sheep,
goats, pigs and eats are grouped at fif-
teen. But there are stranger dispari
ties among birds. While a goose may
live thirty years, a sparrow twenty-
five and a crow as many as 100, ducks,
poultry and turkeys die of old age at
twelve years. The palm for longevity
Is divided between elephant and par
rot. Both pass the century.

OrlKln of “Grana** Widow.
Why should a woman separated
from her husband be called a ‘grass’
w?” asked a young man of the
ntbpiary. “The term ‘grass’ widow,”
the latter answered, “has nothing to
do with the herbage on our laxvns.
Grass* is a misspelling, sanctioned by
custom, of ‘grace.’ In the past, when
divorces were rare, a woman separated
legally from her husband was called a
Yfduca do gratin’ by the Roman
Lurch, and the French called her a
veuve de grace.’ The meaning of both
terms is the same -’widow by grace.’
We took the ‘veuve’ from the French
and translated it properly Into ‘widow,’
but the ‘grace’ we incorporated Into
our language, misspelling it in the
process. You would be technically cor-
lu writing ‘grace’ instead of
grass* widow, but It is probable that
>ne would understand what you
meant.'’—Philadelphia Record.
