Patti*. High Note*.
A writer in The London World says of
Ume. Patti', terms for tinging in con
certs: “I hare all my life had a weak
ness for ladiea. and ladies hare always
had the weakness to know what is net
their business, so I am going to betray a
secret of the trade to the lady reader, of
this paper in order to let them get an in
sight into affairs discussevl by every bet^y.
although ‘everybody' knows pocking
about what is really the matter. Five*
all sides I hear of the greediness csf Mae*.
Patti, the exorbitant price* she aaks-aad
how she does not care whether the peo
ple in whose concerts she sings are ruined
so long as she receives her money. The
fact is this: lime Paui rece ires for every
concert in the Albert hall £7tX>—an e
mons amount, no doubt.
Now let us see as to the ruin of the
people who engage her. The expense,
of the hall are about £100. ocher artists
£300, advertising, etc., say £130: the
whole forms £1,150 to £1.$00 costs. The
receipts of this first year's concert were
about £1,700, of the second over £1.800,
and the third will probablv be still larger
—that is to say, £500. £000 and £T00
profit. I know that onee in a concert
in which she sang the expenses were a
little over £1,300 and the receipts £3,143.
with £153 taken for programme bools.
These are figures, not opinions. I have
known wliat is perliaj* still more aston
ishing. One evening the fog was so
thick that I was reflecting whether I
should go to the hall, imagining that
Ume. Patti, whom I had to accompany,
would not go. I went, however, after
all, by the underground railway, and
the receipts that evening left over £$00
profit."

ily, oa they were accustomed on that
day, sat down to a meal of baked beans,
naftrmekmaii, who wai a guest, was
asked by the' hostess: “Am yon food of
baked beans, Monsieur da CntpaadT
“Ah," said tho Frenchman, with a
shrug of his shoulders, an inclination of
his head to one side and a raising of his
eyebrows, “I do eat re baked beans, but
I am not amateur of gem!"
All the family looked puxxled by this
remark, and little Tommy, who sat at
the foot of the table, could not nstrait
bis curiosity.
“Ob, Monsieur do Crepaudl* he ex
claimed, “does that mean that you are a
professional baked bean eater?"
Tommy had heard the word "amateur"
used simply to mark the difference be
tween those who followed any sport or
occupation for pleasure and those who
followed It to make a livelihood out of
it To him "amateur" had no other
mcanirg; and if M. da Crapaad was not
an “amateur of baked beans” ho must
be a professional.
The Frenchman, on the contrary, used
the word as meaning a lover of an art or
anything else whatsoever, or one haring
special knowledge of it To be an ama
teur with him signified very much the
same thing as what is ordinarily ex
pressed by the other French word con
noisseur. If h» had said that he “was
not a ccanumamc- of baked beans," he
would act ia»e been, xsderstood by

A Persevering Prisoner.
"Perseverance will accomplish every
thing.” I had these words for a writing
lesson onco and I shall never forget
them. It is a great thing to have per
severance. There was once a man who
wus shut up in a dungeon with walls
300 feet thick, mado of the hardest kind
of stone. He had no tools except a pair
of scissors his brother had sent him in a
loaf of bread, but ho remembered that a
drop of water will wear away n stone it
it falls on tho stone long enough, and
that a coral worm, which ia so small
that you con hardly seo it, will eat up
and destroy a coral reef if you will only
give it timo enough. So ho said that ho
would persevere and dig a hole through
the wall of tho dungeon with the scissors
and escape if it took him a hundred
years.
He had been digging about o year
when the govomor pardoned him and
the jailer brought him the joyful news.
But they couldn't get him to leave the
dungeon. He told the jailer that he had
undertaken to dig bis way through' the
wall and escape in that way, and that he
was going to stick to it, no matter how
long it might take. The jailer urged
him to give it np and walk out of the
door, and oven offered him $10 to give
ap his dungeon to a new lodger, but
nothing could induce him to change his
mind. So he staid in the dungeon and
dug away at the wall for forty-seven
years, and every six months he had to
pay a big bill for damages to tho jail,
and he finally died when be was half
>ugh the wall This shows wbsl a
splendid thing perseverance is, and that
wo all ought to persevere.—W. L. Alden,

wveji aw-ttt for the fact that we sel-
dm have any cvcaoeoce in car dreams,
and do in them without the shade of a
shadow of compunction things which all
the wealth and honors of the world could
not induce us to do in our waking hours.
The moral sense seems to be totally
wanting in © drtnai.
That is a theory which does very well
as far as it goes. But it does not by any
means cover the ground. In the case of
Teal imaginative dreamers, the dreaming
state of ten seems to be a superior in point
of intelligence to the waking state; that
is to say, great flights are possible to the
mind then which are beyond the waking
consciousness. Ineffable conceptions,
celestial visions, intense realizations or
recognitions of spiritual things, which
sometimes survive in waking thoughts
and really ilhnninate them, often fall to
the lot of the trne dreamer. If the
moral sense has no place in such dreams,
it is because the soul seems to have risen
superior to a moral sense! If the animal
hypothesis seems reasonable sometimes,
what are we to do in making np our
theories of dreams with such visions as
these, which rise only when the veil of
flesh is drawn from before the inward
eye?—Boston Transcript

The Japanese Fir* Box.
The hibachi is a fire box, of which the
simplest form is that of a square, or cir
cular, or oblong receptacle of wood,
lined with sheet copper. Into this
quantity of lime dust or sifted ashes is
put, and on the top of that a little pile of
lighted charcoal, which bums slowly
and steadily npon the fins ashes, giving
out heat, but not a vestige of smoke.
This is the primitive and plainest form
of the “fire box," such as will be seen in
use for common purposes at railway sta
tions, in Koroma sheds, in wayside tea
houses and restaurants and in unpreten
tious shops. But Japanese skUl and
taste love to lavish themselves on this
central piece of domestic furniture, and
yon see hlbachls, accordingly, of all
forms and materials. Some are made of
hammered copper, or brass, or iron, with
