! THE COULER j In mountain girt Salzburg, noted if only f?r being t?e birthplace o? Mozart, there dwelt once a shoe maker of the name of Siebold Veit. Notwithstanding the lowliness of his station, this disciple of St. Cris pin burned incense assiduously be fore the muses. Like tho village Jlilton immortalized by Gray, Herr Veit had been] debarred in youth by ..chiU penury*] from the "acquisition 5f knowledgel but maturer days brought him many a recompensing opportunity for a glan?o' at the pages of wisdom- All was grist that Gravitated to our shoemaker's men tal millstones, and the stores acquir ed thus promiscuously from reading ind hearsay were never lost or suf fered to molder for want of expres sion. Indeed his application of what he gleaned was frequently so inopportune as to excite the hearty laughter of his honest but critical neighbors. Yet he paid little heed to Tlieir merriment and today was is ready to excuso whe shortness of their boots with "brevity is the soul of wit" as to assure them tomorrow that their old sho?- were brought '.never too late to mend." Siebold . was a bachelor from choice, but often let parts of the house, a quaint red tiled, low ridged, many gabled dwelling at tho end of one of the serpentine streets char acteristic of Salzburg. At the time wc peep into his life we find him landlord of Gabriel Stoss, a student. Herr Yeit's proximity to so animat ed a cyclopedia proved such a stim ulant to his love for learning as to be well nigh inebriating. The mere creak of the stair as the scholar went to and fro was suiEcient to make the shoemaker's imagination reel in visions of the feast of reason that the very steps groaned to sup port. Occasionally in the evenings the student would drop into his host's cozy workroom and read him ver sions of the Greek and Eoman writ er; and, carried along by his listen ers whole souled attention and un disguised rapture, would not infrer quently continue, the inspiriting myths away into the night. At such times the simple toiler's de light culminated in nothing short bf ecstasy. Once when the student had retired with his little red mar gined volume of legends his aclmir ing auditor actually stole iuto the vacated chair to satisfy himself that an exchange of seats did not entail, a priori, a transfer of knowledge and hastened to bed, where before long he lost sight of sordid and hampering reality in the blissful ness of a dream that brought in its sequence the attainments of tho professor of ancient languages in the very college attended by his lodger. One summer evening, having^fin ished his work early, the shoemaker sauntered out upon his porch to smoke anti meditate the whiie on a recent narration of the student's. Thc story took his fancy so much as to incite him to action. During Herr Veit's musings the sun set. The retired street grew still and dark. Lights appeared here and there behind small diamond shaped panes and emphasize! the descent of night. Suddenly knocking the ashes from his meerschaum, the shoemaker entered his domicile and, acting upon his cogitations, took .down his time worn fiddle and drew from it a few strains, a return to his former mistress, music. Away back in his youth he couldrecall the ays when he handled the bow with o mean skill, but for many a year e had neglected music to delve in 'ie moro alluring field of letters, ow again he applied himself to his strument with a fervor which ade use pf every spare moment itil his old art returned so rav hingly that the wondering neigh ors strayed in to hear him at his ew caprice. But they withdrew ver with jocund face3, for, try as iey would to refrain from smiles, err Veit was sure to elickb merri ent in the end hy r ome'Buch ob lation as, "We're never too old o learn." It was on a morning after ho had en practicing five months that e shoemaker closed his shop, lock up his rooms and, mounting the eP, bare steps that led to his 'ger's quarters, left the key with oriel, adding that he was not to looked for until his return, aving the youth at tho head of e stairway, key in hand, gazing onderingly after him, our itiner musician covered carefully his olin with his long gray cloak, drew " broad topped woolen cap over 3} es and passed into the street, ee at that early hour of pedestri He made his way over a bridge ss the Salzach (to the brown eadows beyond the town. It was toost exhilarating morning. The ^ach as it foamed between the aks sentineling its banks, tree 'd Kapuzinerberg to the right, ?Wy, rugged Monchsberg on tho ^ seemed to brawl more jubilant ihan ever of its descent from the it Tyrolese Alps. -The sun not yet risen above the misty Rntain tops, so thc city lay in dow, but the color suffusing the and the glistening of the frost .the fallow meadow s and an oc !lonal strain from some stirring igster betokened day's advent. e fresh air seemed to impart un ated buoyancy to Herr Veit. Ho ?de lustily on and soon passed che open country adjacent to the city. Uplands and lowlands he traversed for several days, pausing often to break the stillness of dell and glade with tho dulcet voico of his violin. At last he came upon a hamlet nestling, like his own picturesque town, in a stream threaded valley at tl>e fo^t of a range of hills. The dampness of the day veiled the hill tops heavily in mist, a circumstance which seemed to disturb the simple villagers very much. They were gathered in a knot in front of the mountains regarding wistfully the summits of the nearest range. The wandering musician, following the path that skirted the base of tho hills, loomed suddenly in sight, and with one impulse tho peasants hail ed him as a being sent from other realms, to aid them perhaps. They conjured him to disperse the clouds that for severs! da}'? bad hung about th? mountains and prevented their getting to their flocks grazing on the heights. The traveler replied serenely in an unintelligible dialect that the clouds certainly were fine evidences of a dull day, but that the herdsmen were not to be further alarmed, as he was provided with the sovereign remedy for such exigencies. Seat ing himself on a stump near by,Herr Veit began confidently to woo the sun god with sweet music. The anxious rustics concluded that this procedure was tho magical way to dissipate the mists and went by twos and threes contentedly about their various callings. . As the hours wore away, howev er, with no marked lightening of the atmosphere, the people began to doubt the stranger's power and to exhibit signs of impatience, some manifestations being so stormy as to affect the musician and his meas ures tremulously. Phoebus, too, ap parently was angry, for, though Herr Veit, with his liveliest notes, besought an audience, the day closed unblessed with a glimpse of the sim god's radiance. As the night be came darker and darker the music grew more and moro faint, but it was only when the weariest villagers had sunk to rest that tho melody ceased. In order to give tb?ir would be deliverer sufficient time, the inhabitants had resolved to leave biro to his methods until the follow ing day. Bright and early next morning the sun appeared, but long I before its rays gilded the mountain I tops Herr Veit, fearful of another trial, had stolen from the scene of j his exertions, sighting after many . hardships the familiar roofs of Salz burg. One evening soon after Herr Voit's return the student was asked ? to sup with him, and over the cof fee tne adventure was recounted. The legend whicl: had turned the shoemaker's head must have been of Amphion, under whose magic music the ramparts of Thebes are reputed to have arisen, for when the episode had been rehearsed mine host, pref acing by way of momentum, "A lit tle learning is a dangerous thing/" reflected that in the olden time it must have been no small matter to build up a wall by the power of music, seeing that nowadays it was most difficult to move even a cloud by the same. "True," Gabriel acquiesced, "such feats seem practicable enough on paper; but, success granted, 1 war rant that the achievements one comes across in chronicles were not the crust breaking performances that the old bards report. Times, moreover, have changed. We live in another age. Different condi tions environ us. Waiving enigmas abroad or in remote periods, there are problems at our very doors clamoring for solution. Reviewing it all and recalling a trenchant ob servation touching the happiness of home keeping wits, I am more than ever impressed with the force of our adage" "Schuster, bleib' bei deinen leis ten !' ? (Shoemaker, stick to your last) anticipated Herr Veit gleeful ly and for once at least aptly. Cavalry Capture a Fleet. Which is the most extraordinary cavalry charge on record? If we take extraordinary in the sense of unusual, probably nothing will ever surpass tne charge of t^he French General Pichegru's cavalry in 1795, made upon the Dutch fleet, fast bound by ice in the Zuyder Zee. Gal loping rapidly over the ice, the hus sars surrounded the tremendous but immovable vessels and compelled the fleet to surrender.-London An swers. CASTOR IA Soi Infants and Children.

BRAIN ANO STOMACH? Tho Intimate Rotations Between Them Two Vital Organs There is a very intima to relation, between the brain and the stomachy They must work hnrmonionaly/toH gether if the best resulta of bbtW are to bo obtained. Brain exhaus-1 lion and continuous depressing emotions, such as worry and.aim ety, almost always cause derange ments of digestion by retarding tno< secretion ot tho fluids upoD. .wnicJij digestion depends. On the othter? hand, food in insufficient or excess ive quantities or the injudicious se lection of indigestible food ia fre quently reflected upon tho brain and shows itself by sluggishness of thought ard diminution of mental vigor. Tho brain and the stomach cannot perform their functions to the host advantage at tho same time. During the process of digestion the stomach requires moro blood j than it does at other times, and a certain proportion of this extra sup- ! ply is drawn from the brain. Lf, however, the brain is forced to work during the period of active diges tion, the stomach will bo deprived' of a certain proportion of the blood it requires. Activity of tho mind necessitates an increnscd flow of blood to tho brain, and as tho power of thought is to a certain extent controlled by tho will, while tho process of digestion is not, it nat urally follows that when thought and digestion ate carried on simul taneously the brain will always take the blood needed by the stomach. If this is a habitual oc^.irrence, it soon leads to pronounced dyspepsia, and chronic dyspepsia in its turn, by irritation of the nervous system, incapacitates even an abnormally] vigorous brain from accomplishing its best work. "Like Silly Sheep." "It takes a rancher to appreciate the expression *Like silly sneep/" declared a western cattleman. "I had several thousand sheep on my ranch at one time, but I was cured of raising them by their own eternal dumbness. One limo we were'driv ing a flock to market when ono of the leaders leaped into the air, and after the habit, of sheep every one made a similar leap when it came to that spot. This is such a common trick with sheep that wo thought nothing of it until wo noticed* t it the sheep disappeared after leaping. By quick work we stopped the per formance and found that the trail had been broken by a cave in and the sheep when they came to the brink simply leaped frantically, and went down into a hole thirty feet deep. Before we could get them out nineteen were smothered to death."-New York Times. The Thermometer. Currie of Edinburgh employed a thermometer in the treatment of typhoid fever patients with the cold douche os early as 1797. He was ridiculed by his German contempo raries as an instance of medical de cay in English medicine. The first clinical application of the thermom eter was made by Sontorius of ?Pa dua. He invented a thermometer open at tho end. After being held by the patient it was plunged into cold water. Boerhave* taught the importance of the thermometer. De Hoon-1704 to 177G-must be given the honor of introducing the thermometer into current use at the bedside. It was not until 1850 to 1870 that it came into general use. Burled In Woolen. In looking through any old par ish register in England, one discov ers at a certain period a large num ber of burial entries in which it is mentioned that the deceased was buried in woolen. There was passed in 1678 an act requiring, on pain of a fine of $25, that an affidavit should be made within eight days after a death before a justice of the peace or a minister of religion thai the deceased was buried only in wool. Its object was tho encourage ment of a native industry by the lessening of the importation of lin en from beyond the seas. Running to Cover. First Mon-Isn't Picker a queer character ?

Jury Verdicts. At Fort Scott, Kan., a jury in tho district court returned a verdict finding a certain accused person guilty of larceny. The verdict had not been prepared in tho technical form desired, and tho judge sent the jury back to make the necessary corrections. The jury was gone for half an hour, and when it returned it brought in a verdict acquitting the prisoner. But a verdict even more amusing .was perpetrated by a jury at Pitts burg. The case was a criminal one, and after a few minutes' consulta tion the jury filod into tho box from its room. *\Have you agreed upon a verdict?" asked the judge. "We have," responded the foreman, pass ing it over. "The clerk will read," said the judge, and the clerk read, \ "We, your jury, agree to disagree." A Satisfactory Ou ncc? An old highlander, rather fond of his glass, was ordered by his doc tor during a temporary ailment not to take more than ono ounce of spir its in the day.

He Enlightened Her. In a certain rural exhibition in England there were two immense hogs stuffed, each bearing a placard telling their age and weight and with the name of the man who pre pared them for exhibition, followed by the word "taxidermist." ? A man and his wife were looking at them with great interest. After reading the placards the woman said: "Why, these are taxidermists 1 I thought they were hogs." Her husband looked with a puz zled expression at the creatures and then went carefully over the plac ards as if to satisfy himself on tho point. Finally ho decided: "They are nogs. Taxidermist is the name of tho place they como from." _ Acclimated All Over. When the Marquis of Lorne was governor general of Canada, as the story goes, he stood, clad in furs, watching winter sports at Ottawa. Tlie temperature was about zero. An Indian a few feet distant seem ed equally comfortable and as much interested in the games, though his body was mostly uncovered. Tho nobleman asked the savage how ho could endure such exposure. "I should think you would freeze," he said. "V, hy white man's face not freeze?" replied the Indian. "Our faces are used to the cold," answered the governor. Tho Indian ended tho colloquy with tho pithy retort, "Injun all face."-Cleveland Lead er. _ Presence of Mind . Black and White recalls a story of a highwayman who was outwitted by a nobleman whom ho waylaid.

"I would not yield to one man," responded the occupant of the vehi cle, "but as there aro two of you I must." The robber, taken aback, looked round to see where the ?econd man was and at that moment received a bullet through tlie heart from his intended victim. Decorations In Parliament. Time was when it was usual for peers and commoners alike to wear any orders they possessed during debates in the houses of which they were members. At thc present day it would be a dreadful breach of eti quette for any member of parlia ment, elected or hereditary, to enter the chamber with a ribbon or a star on his breast. There is, however, a single exception to this rule.
