GOOD BUSINESS.
Th» Thrifty Young Man Found a Prof¬
itable Investment.
A millionaire, hoping lo encourage
his young son ill trays .of thrift, prom
lsed to give him 2 per cent n month to
terent upon any money that he might
save out of bis allowance and deposit
iu the paternal treasury. The young
man was getting £5 a veek for pocket
money and promised to show ids np
preelation of his father's affectionate
offer. He began to make deposits
without delay and kept the practice up
with remarkable regularity.
The old gentleman noticed presently
that the deposits exceeded the whole
of the boy's allowance, but accounted
for this by supposing that he had
saved some money previously. Besides
this, he received money frequently
from his mother. So the fond parent
rejoiced In the saving disposition that
his son was displaying.
This continued until the boy s de¬
posits assumed such dimensions as to
demand an explanation, it then turned
out that most of I lie money lie had
been depositing bad been borrowed.
Inasmuch as be was drawing Interest
on his deposits at 2 per cent per month
and was paying oniy 10 per cent par
year for them he had found the busi¬
ness decidedly attractive arid profitable.

THE DEVILFISH.
He It Not a Man Eater, but a Gently
Beared Monster.
Contrary to popular belief, the devil
fish is not a man eater, according to
an official publication issued by the
Smithsonian Institution. Washington,
after an authoritative study of the sub¬
ject by Hr. Theodore Gill, associate iu
zoology In the national museum. “The
food of the devilfishes,” he says, "so
far from being large animals and oc¬
casionally n man or so, ns lias been al¬
leged, appears to be chiefly the small
crabs, shrimps nud other crustaceans
and young or small fishes. Rarely does
one prey on large fishes.”
Dr. GUI says that in m number of re¬
spects the young devilfish grows up
under nursing and training remarkably
like that of a human being. It Is nour¬
ished, for Instance, from Its mother’s
milk. It Is a peculiarity of the devil¬
fish. he adds, that, instead of laying
many thousands or millions of eggs, it
normally has only a single young one
nt a birth. A baby devilfish is some¬
times us broad as five feet and weighs
twenty pounds or more.
Dr. Gill adds that devilfishes move
about from place to place in a sort of
submarine flight, speeding themselves
along by flaps of the Jong wiuglike
fins.
Day Dreams.
If you have a particular piece of
work to do, get it done. Don’t wait
for the wood to strike you.
Don’t dream! There are more pre¬
cious hours wasted in day dreams
than any of us would care to think
about if we counted them.
The queer thing about day dreams
Is flint so few of them ever amount
to anything. The dreamer la only
semiconscious when building his air
ensiles, so. ns n rule, they have no
praetleal foundation.
While you are at. work, keep your
mind on what you are doing, and do
not let it wander off to what you
would like to be doing. Only by keep¬
ing your mind on what you are doing
now can you bring it fresh and keen
to the things you like doing best when
the time for doing them comes. Think¬
ing too much about even great happi¬
ness takes the “edge” off it.
The best time for day dreams is
after you have gone to bed. -New
York American.
The Detter Part.
A delightful little story Is told of
Prosper Merimee, the French author.
He was once guest nt a royal hunt,
when hares, pheasants and other
game were driven before the emperor
and his followers, and the servants
picked lip (lie victims of the sport.
Among all the members of the hunt¬
ing party Prosper Merimee alone had
no trophy to display.
“How does this happen?” asked
some one.
"Where game ts so plenty the merit
of a marksman seems to me to He in
hitting nothing.” replied Merimee,
with grave courtesy, "so I fired be¬
tween the bints.”
Waiters on Horseback.
In great French houses of days gone
by dinner was announced by the blow¬
ing of hunting horns, and It Is on ree
ord that at certain gala feasts (lie
dishes were brought in by servants in
full armor mounted upon caparisoned
horses, a practice we could only look
for during the reign of chivalry. Of
the attendants at dinner the carver and
server took precedence over all flic
others. They si owl probably on each
side of their lord. The server. It may
he mentioned, was the officer who
placed! the dishes on the table.

LUDWIG THE LUNATIC
Patti Once Threw Him Into a
Frenzy of Madness.
A FREAK OF THE CRAZY KING.
He Frightened and Enraged the Great
Diva by His Strange Whims, and
When She Finally Sang For Him In
Munich It Drove Him Wild.
When Patti was in the first heyday
of her fume Ludwig II., the mad king
of Bavaria, set his heart on having her
sing for him at his private auditorium
in Munich. He wrote letter after let
ter, begging, imploring, offering ex¬
travagant sums of money, but Patti
resolutely refused to go. She hud heard
too many stories of Ludwig’s freaks
and was desgprately afraid of him, but
at last the king offered her n sum so
enormous that It seemed ridiculous to
refuse it. Then the singer plucked up
courage and started for Munich. When
she and her maid alighted at the sta¬
tion not even a carriage was there to
meet them, and they had to inquire the
name of the best hotel and call a cab.
That was the first shock to the diva’s
nerves and temper. After luncheon she
started out to sec the town and inci¬
dentally to examine the posters an¬
nouncing Europe’s greatest singer. Not
a mention of her name could she find.
She rushed back to the hotel and told
her mal,d to pack the trunks.
Just at that moment a resplendent
officer delivered a letter from the king.
The letter stated curtly that his maj¬
esty would wait for her at 7 o'clock
precisely in the royal palace, where his
singer In ordinary, Mine. Fischer,
would give her further directions.
Miue. Fischer would also slug with
Mme. I'attl the duets which Ilia maj¬
esty wished to hear. A programme
was Inclosed. Patti wept with rage.
“I have never been treated so bru¬
tally," she said. “I shall leave at once.
Tell the king so. 1 will not sing.....
never, never, never!” The office)
pleaded with the irate prlmu donna.
His majesty had been wild with ex¬
citement ever since lie knew she would
come and had not slept for three
nights, so great was his joy at the
prospect of hearing her.
"Besides," added the officer, "you
know your king ls~ is—is”-
“Crazy,” snapped Patti. "Yes, tfiat’s
very comforting, Isn’t It? 1 don't know
why I ever came.” Just thou she
caught sight of this postscript;
"The king commands Mme. Patti to
appear in pure white, without any
color whatever, and not by any means
to wear a satin gown, but soft wool.
Biik is painful to Ids majesty.”
"His majesty will have to he pained.
I have no white woolen gown except
my peignoir. I shall wear red velvet."
"Red!” groaned the officer. “Oh, uo,
not Red sends his majesty iuto tits.
If you appear in red, he will scream
and have convulsions. Oh, do be pa¬
tient, rnadame! 1 will bring Mine.
Fischer to you. She understands the
king's nerves. She will explain.”
lie fled from the- room, and shortly
affer Mme. Fischer appeared upon the
scene. She soothed Patti iuto good
humor and also attacked the white
wool peignoir and transformed it iuto
a most becoming Greek robe.
Before 7 the royal carriage arrived
at the hotel and Patti went to the pal¬
ace. She was led through dimly
lighted rooms and corridors into Lud¬
wig’s private theater, which was in
utter darkness save for the moonlight
that entered through tile windows.
Patti stood upon the dark stage, while
an orchestra, somewhere out of sight,
began a soft prelude. Through the
gloom she could just make out a white
face iu the royal box opposite the
stage. Not another auditor was In the
great bulk
Patti felt the cold shivers creeping
over her. She shook with nervousness
and fear, ami when she should have
begun her aria not a sound could she
make. She opened her mouth, hut her
throat was paralyzed from nervous
terror. There was a pause. The king
sprang up and leaned forward out of
the box, his white face gleaming in the
moonlight. The violins repeated (lie
prelude. Patti gathered herself to¬
gether and made one heroic effort.
Her voice rang out iuto the great
empty plnee, and the king sank hack
iuto the dark box.
Patti, though badly scared, made the
effort of her life and finished the aria
from "La Travis to” triumphantly and
stood flushed with victory. Dead si¬
lence. Not a sound came from the
gloom before her. She went off the
stage in a temper. Mme. Fischer was
behind the scenes, and Patti waited
with her for the signal to sing the
next number. A messenger appeared
at the door. His majesty had had
enough music and had gone to his
apartments. For a moment Patti
stood stunned. Then she laughed. The
rudeness was so colossal that it was
funny. Mme. Fischer took the diva to
supper aud then home.
The next morning Mme. Fischer
called at the hotel once more, aceom
ponied by the court ehamberlaiu. who
bore the promised check, an autograph
letter of thanks from the king and
some jewels of great value. King
Ludwig, Mme. Fischer said, was in one
of his maddest moods, wild with'ro
grot, cursing himself aud cursing Fat
ti- He had walked the floor all night,
groaning that tie was a traitor, for
Fatti’s voice had so ravished his senses
that for one moment he had goue over
to , Italian music , aud . , had . , been false . , A to
Wagner, the one musician who alone
had satisfied his majesty's soul.
“That was hotter than having bored
him,” added Patti, shrugging her shoul¬
ders.
