Wonderful Sonata.
Beethoven’s famous composition, the
Moonlight Sonata,” is said t 0 have
been composed under the following cir
cumstances:
One evening. as Beethoven and a
friend were hurrying through the
streets of Bonn, they heard the familiar
notes of the “Sonata In F. ” Something
ma ® ,c * on ’ a toDch attracted the
attention of Beethoven, and he stopped
and listened. Suddenly the music stop
ped, and the despairing words of the
musician came to them through the
open window, “Oh, if I could but hear
some really good musician play this
wonderful piece 1“ tnd the words ended
in a sob.
“Let us go in,” said Beethoven,
ibey entered and found the’’ player a
young girl, poor and blind. Beethoven
sat down at the old harpsichord and
played as he had never played before.
His listeners were spellbound. “Tell
us,” they begged, “who are you?” For
answer he played the opening bars in
the ‘Sonata In F.” “It is Beethoven!”
they exclaimed in awe and admiration.
Suddenly the candle flickered and
went out. Beethoven ceased playing
and bowed his head upon his band. His
friend threw open the shutters. A flood
of beautiful moonlight entered the
room. Its transfiguring light touched
up the poor old instrument and rested
upon the noble figure bowed before it.
The profound silence was broken at last
by the musician, who said: “Listen! I
will improvise a sonata to the moon
light. ” Then was created this wonder
ful sonata, beginning in a sad, tender
movement, the embodiment in sound of
the gentle moonlight transfiguring and
glorifying the dark earth.
Suddenly the music ceased, and with
a brief farewell Beethoven hurried
home to put upon paper this famous
composition.—Philadelphia Saturday
Post.
A REALISTIC ACT.
An Story of Jefferson as
Rip Van Winkle.
While he was playing Rip Van
Winkle at Chicago Jefferson once
went to the theater very much exhaust
ed by a long day’s fishing on the lake.
As the curtain rose on the third act it
disclosed the white haired Rip still deep
in his 20 years’ nap. Five, 10, 20 min
utes passed and he did not awaken. The
audience began to get impatient and
the prompter uneasy.
The great actor doubtless knew what
he was about, but this was carrying the
realistic business too far. The fact was
that all this time Jefferson was really
sleeping the sleep of the just, or rather
of the fisherman who bad sat eight
hours in the sun. Finally the gallery
became uproarious, and one of the
“gods” wanted to know if there was
going to be “19 years more of this
snooze business!”
At this point Jefferson began to
snore. This decided the prompter, who
opened a small trap beneath the stage
and began to prod Rip from below. The
fagged comedian fumbled in his pocket
for an imaginary railway ticket and
muttered drowsily, “Going right
through, ’ductor.”
At this entirely new reading the au
dience was transfixed with amazement,
vjhen all at once Jefferson sat up with
a’loud shriek, evidently in agony. The
exasperated prompter had “jabbed”
him with a pin. Consciousness of the
situation came to him and the play
went on after that with a rush.—Phila
delphia Post.
A Binding Chinese Oath.
We are accustomed to all manner of
swearing—that is, of course, legal oath
taking—in this country, but we do not
recollect hearing of so queer a medium
of attestation as a “guillotined black
cockatoo.” That is what the police of
a country district in New South Wales
had to provide the other day for a fin
icking Chinaman, who obstinately de
clined to swear on anything else. Head
less fowls were brought, but in vain.
Even a black swan, a luxury surely for
a Chinese witness, was declined.
After many days a dead cockatoo of
the required hue was discovered in a
hut of one of the other “heathen, ” as
they call the Celestials, who mulcted
the officials 10 shillings for a fast decom
posing bird. Then the solemn and pe
culiar oath was duly administered, when
the difficult witness blandly declared
that he knew nothing about the case
and sat down smiling.—London Chron
icle.
Revised Geography.
A correspondent reports an occurrence
which took place at a night school.
“Williams,” asked the instructor,
“which is the largest island in the
world?”
“It’s either Asia or Africa,” replied
the young man to whom the question
was addressed.
“I am speaking of islands, Williams.
Those are continents.”
"I think not, sir," drawled Wil
liams. “When the Suez canal was cut,
it made islands of both of ’em, sir.
Come to think of it, sir, the largest is
Asia and Europe. It’s all one piece of
ground.”—Youth’s Companion.
Illa First Client,
In an address delivered at Hartford
the Rev. Dr. Edward Everett Hale told
the story of James Russell Lowell’s first
client as Lowell had told it to him.
Lowell had hardly opened his law office
when a stranger appeared. Tlte young
lawyer deferentially offered him a
chair, took out his notebook, talked of
the weather, and when he finally came
to business found the stranger was a
bill collector.
“What willlfotne cost of the wn» s "

Germans grew belligerent “Only a

A QUEER CALCULATION.
Tire Power That Wenlff Be RegwireA
to Move the Earth.
Statisticians sometimes have queer
ideas. <X)ne of them has amused himself
by calculating how much energy, water
and coal it would take to move the
earth a foot, supposing that it was sub
jected throughout its mass to a force
equivalent to terrestrial gravitation.
This is a gratuitous supposition, for in
spite of its enormous mass the earth
weighs nothing.
Starting with the fact that the earth’s
moss is about 6,100 million-million
million tons, our statistician calculates
that we should require 70,000,000,000
years for a 10,000 horsepower en
gine to move our globe a foot. The
boiler that should feed this engine
would vaporize a quantity of water that
would cover the whole face of the globe
with a layer 300 feet deep. The vapori
zation of this water would require 4,000
million-million tons of coal. This coal
carried in cars holding ten tons each
and having a total length of 80 feet,
would require 400 million-million cars,
which would reach 80,000,000 times
around the earth. This train, moving
at the rate of 40 miles an hour, would
take more than 5,000,000 years to trav
erse its own length. It would require
for storage a shed that would cover
1)000 times the area of Europe.
.If we realize that this fantastically
huge amount of energy is nothing at all
compared with what the earth possesses
in virtue of its rotation about its axis,
its revolution about the sun, and its
translation in space with the solar sys
tem, of which the earth is but an in
finitesimal part and which itself is but
an infinitesimal part of the universe,
we may get some idea of the impdrtauce
of man in the universe and estimate his
incommensurable pride at its just value.

DANGEROUS PIGS.
The Peccary Is Wholly Fearless and
Will Fisht Man or Beast.
A writer in the St. Louis Republic
says that the most Vicious and fearless
meipber of the brute creation is the pec
cary, or wild hog, of Mexico. This ani
mal seems utterly devoid of fear and dis
plays an intelligence in fighting man
strangely at variance with its apparent
ly complete lack of mental attributes.
Their ability to scent men is particu
larly marked. The only thing to do
when they get after you is to run away
from them as fast as a horse can carry
you, and then there is no certainty that
they won’t catch you. They are nearly
as swift as a horse, and their endurance
is as great as their viciousness.
A friend of mine encountered a drove
of them in a wild part of Mexico a few
years ago, and his escape was almost
miraculous. He very foolishly shot and
wounded a number of them. Then he
took refuge in a tree.
The peccaries kept him in the tree all
that day and through the night. They
circled round the tree, grunting and
squealing their delight at the prospect
of a feast. He soon exhausted his am
munition and brought down a peccary
at each fire, but this had no terrors for
the beasts.
Toward morning they began to eat
those he had killed, after which they
formed in line and trotted off. If they
had not had some of their own number
to devour, they would have guarded
that tree until my friend, through sheer
exhaustion, dropped from his perch and
allowed them to make a meal of him.
The wildcats and tigers that infest
the Mexican wilds flee from the pec
caries with instinctive feAr, and even
rattlesnakes keep out of their path!
A Bit of London Weather.
Our weather is grown decidedly good
for the last three days—very brisk, clear
and dry. Before that it was as bad as
weather at any time need be. Long con
tinued plunges of wet, then clammy,
glarry days on days of half wet (a kind
of weather peculiar to London, and
fully uglier than whole wet) —a world
of black sunless pluister [a soft mixture,
neither one thing nor another], very
unpleasant to move about in! The in
cessant travel makes everything mud
here, in spite of all that data [a clat, a
wooden scraper J and besoms can do;. A
kind of mud, too, which is as fine as
paint and actually almost sticks like a
kind of paint. I took, at last, into the
country, with Oavi clothes and trousers
folded up. There the mud was natural
mud, and far less of it; indeed little of
it in comparison with other country.
We dry again in a single day of brisk
wind.—Carlyle Cor. in Atlantic.

Hourgla»»e» !•» a Loudon Church.
Nearly everybody is aware that at
one time it was the custom in many
churches to regulate the length of the
sermon by an hourglass, which stood
on the pulpit immediately fronting the
preacher. Quite a number of these curi

siastical- edifices throughout the land,

■atertataiac Copper.
It was a bitter ccl<! night, and a
night policeman in Lombard street no
ticed a light in the bank window, and,
going to the door, rapped.
"Is that you, policeman?" asked a
voice from within.
“Yea,’’waa the reply.
“Come in and have a drink,”, said
the voice.
The policeman stepped inside and en
countered a dapper little fellow sitting
at a desk.
"I’ve been detained tonight straight
ening up accounts. ”
The policeman wanned himself at
the rousing fire that blazed on the
hearth and went out again on his beat.
An hour after (he policeman came that
Jay and, still seeing the light through
le window, rapped again.
"Is that you, policeman?”
"Yes.” ‘
"Come in and warm yourself.”
The polioegian accepted the invita
tion.
"It’s a howling cold night,” said the
clerk.
"You’re right, sir,” said the police
man.

An Attack on Sevastopol.
From where I was stationed I could
see the dense masses of the attacking
columns advance up the slope. Then
the torrents of grape which met them
would obscure their ranks for a mo
ment and hardly a man would be seen
to remain. lat one time saw a body of
men many hundreds strong so complete
ly swept away by one discharge that
only a few of the rear rank remained
when the iron storm went past I The
dead and dying could be clearly distin
guished lying in piles on the hillside,
and over their prostrate bodies fresh
troops crowded on to meet the same
fate. Many a manly heart and nervous
arm went down in the deadly struggle
on that green hillside. No valor avail
ed. The cannon’s force was greater than
the strength of man.
How many ardent hopes were extin
guished ! How many home circles de
stroyed and lives rendered miserable by
the havoc of that hour none can tell,
no more than they can imagine the
bodily agony or the grief for home and
friends which was there endured! What
would be the value of what is called
"glory” if weighed on the field of bat
tle among the dead?—Good Words.
Altama or Altamaha?
There can, I suppose, be no doubt
that in the lines in “The Deserted Vil
lage”—
To distant oUmes, a dreary scene,
Where half the convex world intrudes between,
Through torrid tracts with fainting steps they
go
Where wild Altama murmurs to their Woe—
Goldsmith is alluding to the River Al
tamaha in Georgia, the colonization of I
which had taken place not long before.
But his expressions are not very accu
rate. So fan from being torrid in the
strict sense of the word, the latitude of
the mouth of the Altamaha is more
than 81 degrees. No part indeed of the
present United States is located within
the tropics. But, besides this, although
there are certainly rattlesnakes and, I
believe, scorpions of a certain species in
Georgia, there are no tigers there to
“wait their hapless prey,” which the
poet reckons among the horrors of the
region where some of the inhabitants of
Auburn have gone.—Notes and Queries.
Snow That Is Alive.
A most curious phenomenon in the
northwest of Canada is the appearance
of millions of minute black insects
whenever a thaw occurs.
During the winter the snow is dry
and crisp like sand, and nothing what
ever can be discovered of these insects,
but as soon as a thaw oomes they are
found everywhere in large patches,
looking like a dusting of soot.
They are generally known as snow
fleas or snow lice and have slight hop
ping powers, being able to leap some
three or four inches. They entirely dis
appear when it freezes again, and not
a trace of them can be found.
They do not fall with the snow as
there may have been no snow for a
month or more before their arrival and
are probably analogous to th'e “red
snow” of arctic regions.
