An article In an Italian review con- tains an Interesting story of Liszt, the composer, and, Rubini, the tenor. Touring together, they visited a town where a great financial success was expected. But they were disappointed, for when they entered the hall they found only fifty persons present, Rubini was furious, and said he would not sing; but Liszt calmed him. "You must sing," he said; “ this small audience 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 perfec­ tion, Liszt gave another piece, and then addressed the audience, "Ladles and gentlemen," he :.ald, "I think that you have had enough music. Allow me to ask you to take a little supper with us.*' Tho invitation was accepted, and Liszt and Rubini entertained the au­ dience to supper at their hotel, at a cost of twelve hundred 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 pack- eft; there was no standing room. The Whole town had turned out on the chance of an invitation to supper. rr-im i^imsgiimtrirti youth HAS BRIGHT future Woman.

JUST A LITTLE FISH STORY Henrik Dahl Makes Successful Test of Darwinian Theory, but Pet , Meets Sad Fate, Henrik Dahl of Aalesund was s a reader and follower of Darwin. Wish? I Ing to apply his theory to the limit I of adaptability of a species to its en- j vironmenlt Henrik procured a herring ] from a neighboring..fjord and carried 1 it home in a tub of sea water. He re­ newed the water daily tor some time and gradually reduced the quantity, with so little inconvenience to the her­ ring that he concluded that the fish might, In time, learn to breathe air Undiluted with water, like the cat ana man. It turned out as he expeexed, and the water was finally emptied out of the tub, never to be replaced. Henrik next removed the fish from its tub and placed it on the ground, where it flopped about very awkward­ ly at first, but soon learned to moye freely and rapidly. In a little while the herring was able to' follow its master without difficulty, and then If became his, constant companion about the streets of the city. On a certain unfortunate day, Heh- rik had occasion to cross a dilapidated bridge whichj spanned an arm of the harbor. The herring coming grace­ fully along, heedless of danger, now •and again springing at lilies, for which it haa acquired a grdat fond­ ness, missed its footing—slipped through a crack into the water and was drowned.—Boston Transcript. - Bear Plays Possum. Frank Hamlin, a rancher, living be­ tween this city and .Carlton, was one of the principals in an exciting hunt­ ing incident this week. Hamlin ran onto a large black bear suddenly; the hunter was cool enough to get a good standing shot at the bear and to all appearances killed the animal, Upon going up to examine his prize victim, which had fallen as if quite dead, Hamlin was taken off his guard by Bruin effecting a quick and unex­ pected revival. The bear reared In an attempt, to embrace the hunter, who was-leaning over him to examine the effects of his shot. At this unexpected maneuver Hamlin beat a hasty retreat with the bear in c I obc pursuit. At times the bear was so close as to snatch at the retreating Nimrod’s coattails. Coming to a thicket ‘the hunter was able to elude the bear and with another shot Hamlin put Bruin out of commission. —Sheridan Correspondence Portland Oregonian. Artful Tommy.
