Dietiog unnecessary# Pleasant to take* It can’t help BIZET AND HALEVY, The Story of the Origin of a Popu lar Air In “Carmen.” Bizet, the composer of the world fa tuous opera “Carmen/’ and Halevy, bis librettist, once occupied apartments whose outer doors opened on the same landing. As soon as he had finished an air Bizet would hasten to submit it to his neighbor, who subjected it to the most severe criticism. Prom morning to night the piano resounded in the composer’s apartments. One night Bizet finished a dramatic bit in which he flattered himself he had success fully sketched the pride of a trium phant toreador after a successful bull fight. But Halevy listened in silence and.: showed but a moderate enthu siasm. Bizet, somewhat piqued, asked the cause of this coldness. “It’s good, I admit,” said Halevy. “In fact, it’s too good. It lacks move ment—it lacks snap—in short, it’s not popular enough.” “Not popular enough!” shouted the piqued composer. “Do you want to write for the slums?” He went out in a huff, but soon relented and in an hour returned with another air. “Lis ten to this,” said he; “here is my toreador idea written down to your popular level.” It was indeed the song of the toreador, and the only one which on the first night received an encore and seemed to move the first night audience from its torpor.—Chicago News. Bard on the Father. A little girl three years old who is very fond of music has a father who cannot distinguish one tune from an other. However, she is always urging him to sing. He was trying his best to please her with a hymn one day and flattered himself that he was do ing very well. Suddenly the little ty rant turned upon him and demanded: “Why don’t you sing, daddy? You’re only making a npise.”—New York Press. but do you good Prepared only by E. O.

It gives immediate relief. Get a piece of soft old linen cloth, saturate it with this liniment and bind loosely npon the wound. You can have no adequate idea what an excellent remedy this is for a bum until you .have tried it. The Defensive Reason Why |he Right Was First Used. Did you ever stop to think about the custom of shaking hands and wonaer why it is that we always shake the right hand? Probably you have never thought about it at all or if you have you think that the only reason for using your right hand is that you were taught not to use your left one, says the Buffalo Courier. In reality this custom, now so common, is a very an cient one, and it originated in this way: In the days when people were not so peaceable as they now are and when each man settled his quarrels in his own way every man carried a sword or dagger to defend himself. This sword was worn on the left side, where- the right hand could quickly grasp it for use in time of peril. Therefore when a man wished to show that he was friendly he extended his right hand, which would be clasped by the other’s right hand if he, too, meant peace. Thus each could be sure that the other would not dr£w his sword. With the dawn of more peaceful times the custom lost its one time pur pose, but it still retains its original meaning—to show friendship. JVot Keeping Up.

The Burmese game seems to be rath er a heavy variety of chess, the pecul iarity of it being that a pawn “queens” When it strikes an imaginary diagonal line drawn from the player’s left hand corner to the right hand corner in front of him—his opponent’s left hand cor ner. The pieces are massed on the player’s right hand, but the three priv ileged pawns—there are only three allowed to “queen”—can only Vqueen” When the queen has been taken. We Should say here that no piece equiva lent to our queen really exisits in east ern chess, the most powerful piece be ing equivalent to our rook or castle. In the Burmese game the privilege of translation confers no higher hand on a piece than that of “chekoy”—called queen in European equivalence by vir tue of its being unique—a piece pos sessing scarcely, more power than a- pawn. The usual move of the piece called “queen” in all oriental varie ties of chess is one square diagonally and it is never one of the superior pieces.—London Spectator.

In the town of Hildersheim, Ger many, is probably the most unique plant in the world. It is a rosebush 1,000 year old and sprouts from its branches have realized fabulous sums. Borne years ago a rich Englishman of fered $250,000 for this entire tree, but the sum was indignantly refused. This wonderful plant clings amid thickly grown moss against the side of the fa mous old Church of St. Michael. It is elaimed that it has bloomed perennial ly since the days of King Alfred, and this statement has never been disput ed, for its record has been as carefully kept as the pedigree of the bluest blooded family in the kingdom. It IS supposed to have been discovered by some mysterious means through the medium of King Louis of Hilder- sheim as far back as 1032. liilrttS WH£h£ AIL LLSc i&lS. Best Cough Syrup.

Former reverence for the beard is well illustrated by the story told of Sir Thomas More, who was beheaded for denying the supremacy of Henry VIII. His usual cheerfulness did not forsake him even on the scaffold. “Help me up.” he said to one standing by: “for my coming down let me shift for myself.” As he laid his head on the block he begged the executioner to wait a moment while he carefully placed his beard out of reach of the ax, for, he said, “it hath not commit ted treason,” which reminds one of the story of Simon Lord Lovat, who the day before his execution on Tower hill bade the operator who shaved him be cautious not to cut bis throat, as such an. accident would cause disap pointment to the gaping crowd on the morrow.—English Magazine.
