DINED THE AUDIENCE.
And the Treat Proved a Fine Ad. For
Liszt and Rubini.
An article in an Italian review con
tains an interesting story of Liszt and
Rubini, the tenor. They were touring
together and visited a town where,
from the preliminaries which had been
arranged, great things were expected.
But they were disappointed, for when
they entered the hall they found only
ffty persons present.
Ribini was furious and said he would
not sing, but Liszt calmed him. "You
must sing." he said. "This small audi
ence is evidently composed of musical
connoisseurs of the town, so we should
treat them with respect." Liszt set
'the example with a grand overture,
and Rubini sang to perfection. Liszt
gave another piece and then addressed
the audience.
Liszt as an orator was as tactful as
he had been in the role of pacificator.
Addressing his audience of fifty. he
said: "Ladies and gentlemen"-thire
was only one lady present-I think
that you have had enough music. Al
low me to ask you to take a little sup
per with us." After a few seconds the
invitation was accepted. and Liszt and
Rubini entertained the audience to
supper at their hotel, which cost them
1,200 francs.
When the guests separated the hosts
-thought the affair had been a joke,
about which nothing more would be
heard. but they decided to give their
concert as advertised on the following
night. To their astonishment the hall
was packed. There was not standing
\room. The whole town had turned out
on the off chance of an invitation to
supper.
PATAGONIAN INDIANS.
Customs of the Remnants of a Once
Powerful Tribe.
Normally the Tehuelches. as the
Patagonian Indians are called. are a
peaceable and kindly people. yet they
are impulsive, capable of strong preju
-dices. very revengeful and-often
with good reason-suspicious of stran
gers. They are not to be trifled with
and when under the influence of drink
are brutal and dangerous. They show
love for their children and wives and
kindness to their old people. They are
divided into numerous tribes or groups.
each having its chief or cacique. upon
whom the burdens of government rest
but lightly.
They belive In a good and an evil
aspirit, whom they propitiate, and have
many stories, myths and superstitions
-connected with the sun, moon and
stars, while the slaying of horses and
drinking of blood form a conspicuous
part of their superstitions, birth, mar
riage~ and death ceremonies, many of
which. are most repulsive.
When Magellan first passed through
the strait there were perhaps nb fewer
than 10,000 Pa:agonian.s roaming from
the Rio Negro to the strait, while to
day, driven back from the littoral to '
the high pampas and the foothills of
the Andes. altogether they would
probably not total over 500.-Harper's
Magazine______
The Smallest Pension.
Great Britain's pension system is as
'lberal as may be considering the vast
'number of persons carried on both the
military and the civil lists, but in one
case the record for smallness of pay
ment has undoubtedly been establish
ed. Various factors enter into deter
mining the amount to be paid sailors,
and tL.ese factors so combined against
one old salt that it was found that he
could draw a pension of not any~
more than fourpene-8 cents-a year.
Promptly on each quarter day there
comes an. offcial communication trans
mitting the amount due in the form of
postage stamps. and he is granted.
leave of absen:-e in order that he may
convert this into money at the post

ner of sailors, he prompt!y'>roceeds to
*'blow" th'e entire amount.-New York
Tribune.
Wordsworth's Sense of Smell.
Poets have hot failed to do perfumes
justice, but one major poet-Words
worth-went through life without a
sense of smell and was not sorry for
.Mt. Nature. be told Aubrey de Vere,
seemed to him all the more a vision.
But .esce, and once only. did Words
wortph smell, and the prosaie occasion
illustrates the unpolished -household
ways of his time. He sat down with
his efainily to the midday dinner and
9.ea to carve a leg of mutton. The
Neidi'mutton was sfulfed with onions.
'and for once, and once only, the sense
of smell was revealed to hiTm. The
onions, suddenly laid bare, conquered.
-London Standard.
Taxed the Beards.
Peter the Great of Russia levied a
'tax on beards. Finding that his sub
jects were disposed to keep their
sheards at any expense of money, he
wardered all those he found bearded to
have the hair plucked out with pincers
eor shaved with a blunt razor. Russia
WJen became a beardless nation.
Suspioious,
Bank President-What's the matter?
Bank Vice President-I was just think

church yesterday, and I don't quite
lke the way he sings "Will they miss

Seizing the Opportunity.
Crabshaw-If you insist on this new

Proverb.
WASHING AWAY THE LAND.
Erosion of the Drainage Basins of th
United States.
Investigations by the United State
geological su-vey of the erosion o
numerous drainage basins of the Unil
ed States show that the surface of th
country is being removed at the aver
age rate of about an inch in 760 years
Though this amount seems trivia
when spread over the surface of th
country. it becomes stupendous whet
considered as a total or even in sep
arate drainage basins. The Mississip
pi river, for instance, carries annuall;
to the sea 136,400,000 tons of dissolvec
matter and 340,500.000 tons of sus
pended matter. and of this total tb
Ohio river carries 83,350,000 tons anc
the Missouri river contributes mor
than twice as much. Colorad(
river, which has built u,. for itself
vast delta, brings down more suspend
ed matter than any other river in th
United States, delivering annually 38
tons for each square mile of its drain
age basin or a total of 100,740,00(
tons.
The -ivers of the United States car
ry to tidewater every year 270,000,00(
tons of dissolved matter and 513,000,
000 tons of suspended matter. Thi,
total of 783,000,000 tons represent:
more than 350,000,000 cubic yards o:
rock or 610,000,000 cubic yards of sur
face soil. If this erosive action hac
been concentrated on the isthmus o:
Panama at the time of American oc
cupation it would have excavated th<
prism for an eighty-five foot level ca
nal in about seventy-three days.
A FAMOUS DWARF.
Borulwaski, the Pole, Was Handsome
Scholarly and Witty.
A notable dwarf, who had a long
lease of life over parts of two centu
ries-he was born in 1739 and died in
1837-was Boruiwaski. the Pole, of
whose debut an interesting tale is
told. As a boy of fifteen, when he
was just one inch higher than a tw<
foot rule. Borulwaski was presented
to the Empress Maria Theresa, wh<
was so charmed by his good looks and
grace that she seated him on her lap
and gave him a hearty kiss. To the
queen's question as to what be con
sidered the most interesting sight in
Vienna the dwarf replied, "What J
now behold, so little a man on the lap
of so great a lady." This speech ren
dered the little fellow a great favor
ite.
He became ' a special favorite ol
Sanllaus II., who took him to Eng
land and introduced him to George
HI., and for more than half a century
Boruwaski made his home at the
English court.
This dwarf, who at his tallest was
a yard and three inches, had a sistei
whose head just reached her big broth
er's shoulders. Borulwaski was no1
only a handsome and courtly man, bul
a scholar of repute. He lived in fivt
reigns, and when he died, lacking only
two years of reaching the century
mark, he was laid to rest in Dunham
side by side with the Falstaffar
Stephen Kemble.
A Dark Smoke.
Funny thing about smoking! If a
an were compelled to puff a good
igar with his eyes shut the operation
would lose Its zest. A man who had
ndergone a slight operation upon one
f his eyes had to stay in a darkened
room for a week with his optics band
ged. After a few days his doctor
told him he could take a gentle smoke
f he liked. He jumped at the chance
ad to his amazement found it af
orded not the slightest pleasure. To
be sure, men often smoke in the dark,
but there's always the rosy glow of
the lighted end to be seen and the
faint outline of the cloud of smoke in
the air. There's no more fun In a
sightless smoke than a saltless egg or
kiss implanted upon your own hand.
What's the psychology of it.-New
ork Press.
Universal Language.
He spoke his love in German-she
nswered not a word. In French he
tried to weo her-the maiden never
eard. He tried his luck in English,
n Irish-all In vain; in Turkish, Green
nd Latin, and in the togue of Spain.
And then an inspiration came to the
anuished yoiuth. "The universal lan
uage" he cried. "I'll try, forsooth!
le kissed the demure maiden and
pressed her to his breast. She under
tood that language, and you can guess
he rest.-Pearson's.
Thorough Mourning.
Mandy, who had just become a sor
rowing widow, was sorting out sev
eral suits of black underclothes. Het
friend asked in great astonishment:
"Mandy, whah fo' yoh done got their
black undehga'mnents ?"
'Cause when Ah mourns Al
mourns. "-Everybody's Magazine.
Both Curious.
Collector-Look here, the firm I rep.
resent wants to know when you're go
Ing to settle this bill. Debtor-Could I
get a job with the concern you worn
for? My curiosity and theirs seem tc
conde.-Toledo Blade.
Grammar and Greed.
Mrs. Peavish says that If she coul(
have another chance she would rathe1
marry a man who splits his infinitivei
than one who hates to break a dime.
Galveston News.
Belief.
"Do you believe in a hereafter?"
"You bet. I have several enemle:

One has to spend so many year
