Piano Practice.
The poor girl who is forced %9 practice on the piane two or three hours aday may take heart and hope. She has a friend in the world of music. He is a power among pianists, and one of his distinguished pu- pils is no less a celebrity than Paderewski. Leschetizky, for that is his simple name, does not believe in long hours. A pupil may practice two hours a day if she cares to, bat one hour of good work is in his opinion sufficient. This is certainly de- lightful news and would surely horrify the professors of the Berlin Conservatorium, where 10, 12 and 14 hours are considered none too much for an earnest student. Leschetizky’s playing is described as ‘‘airy, delicate and beautiful,’’ and he is the fa- Vorite master in Paris now. He was a pu- pii cf Czerny’s, who wrote those desperate- ly difficult’ exercises, and who was, as all Pianists know, Beethoven's favorite pupil. —New York Commercial.
Perseus and Andromeda,
“T have come,’’ announced Perseus, ‘‘to strike off thy chains!’ Andromeda cast down her eyes and fingered her dance pro- gramme nervously. *‘‘Do you really think the bevel gear is an assured success?’ she finally faltered. It was rather difficult, in fact, for the unhappy maiden to protect her own interests and yet not appear un- stateful.— Detroit Journal.

Statistics published recently by the Bri- tish Board of Trade regarding the coz- Sumption of tntoxicating liquors show that Canada stance upon a very high tem- perance plak. The average of consump- tion in Caneda per bead, per year, 1s about three and a half gallons of beer, three- fifths of a gallon of epirits, aud one-thir- teenth of a gallon of wine. In England the average of consumption is 30 gallons of beer and a gallon of spirits the con- sumption of wine is not etated in the eum- mary which the Montreal Gazette gives of the British Board of Trade figures. In Frence, the average ie 5 gallone of beer, 29 vallons of wive, and considerab!+ spirits | —the exact amount not stated.

The Fashions in the Jewelry Line This Christmas Tide.
Every year brings some novelties 1n Christmas gifts—new designs in jewels, as well as in furniture, in silver, in glass, and in a thousand and one pieces of bric-a-brac, either useful or orna- mental, sometimes possessing both qualities. Among the most beautiful of the novelties this year are the various pieces of Russian enamel, so exquisite in workmanship and design as to secm only fitted for a cabinet; but the work- imanship is so thorough that even the Jewelled bonbonnieres, card cases and buckles can be used every day; the coloring is wonderful, showing a finish and beauty beyond anything that has been seen here for many yeurs. A jewel casket has the entire lid covered with a copy of the Russian wedding feast, and each minute detail abs »iute- iy perfect. The principal designs on ene card cases have the effect some what of a mosaic, representing the fa mous Russian beadwork , and eve. those that are not set With jewels ar worthy of a close examination, tix slending of the colors being so dezti- cately done,
Most curious of ail the enamels *nough, are some tea caridies of a deep, snaded red. These have n» vorbpamen- tation except a slight beading areun. the top, and the fancy is to have the monogram cut in. This shows the Sil- ver underneath the enamel, aad, ii possible, intensifies the rare shading vt color. Of course, all these enameiies pieces are expensive, and are not for a moment to be ranked among th: low-priced articles, but considering thé work upon them, they cannot be Called dear.—Harper’s Bazar.

A Friend In Need,
A young man was tried for niurder, having killed a member of a rival faczion in a faction fight. The judge, reluctant to sentence him to death on account of his youth, turned to him and said, *‘Is there } any one in court who could speak as to your character?’ The youth looked round the court and then said sadly, ‘‘There is no man here, my lord, that I know.’’ At that my grandfather chanced to walk inte the grand jury gallery. He saw at once how matters stood. He called out, ‘‘ You are a queer boy that don’t know a friend when you see him!”
The boy was quick witted. He an- ! swered, ‘Oh, then, it is myself that is proud to see your honor here this day!”’ ““Well.’’ said the jadge, ‘‘Sir Vere, since you know that boy, will you tell us what you know of him?” ‘I will, my lord,” said my grandfather, ‘‘and what I can tell you is this: That from the very first day that ever I say him to his minute 1 never knew anything of him that was not good.”' The old tenant ended his tale by striking bis hands together and exclaiming, ‘* And he never to have clapped his eye upon the boy till this minute?’ The boy escaped being hanged.—Recollections of Aubrey de Vere.

*HERE IS A PEACE THAT COMETH AFTER SORROW.”
"There is a pence that cometh after sorrow,”
» not of hope fuifilled ;
A peace that looketh not upon tomorrow, But calmly on a tempest that is siilled;
Of hope surrendered
A peace which lives not now in joy’s excesses Nor in the happy life of love secure, butin the unerring strength the heart pos- scsses Of conflicts won while learning to endure.
A peace there is in sacrifice secluded,
A life subdued, from will and passion free. "Tis not the peace which over Eden bri oded, Bui that which triumphed in.Gethsemane.

CHICAGO TO BE A VENICE.
¥ive Hundred Years Hence the Windy City Will Stand In a Great Lake. Chicago has troubles ahead of her—none of your ordinary, everyday troubles, but the real thing in mental disquieters.

True, it is 500 ycars off, but posterity |

Professor G. K. Gilbert of the United States geological survey is responsible for this prediction. For a number of years the professor has been making notes of the rise and fall of the great lakes from his own observa ‘ons and from the records of From these he end of Lake Michigan rise six inches. in each century and that the lake is preparing to overflow its southern edge to the infinite discomfort of the Chicagoan of the future.
If his figures speak truly, the whole dis- trict covered by the great lakes is under- going a change of level, and he believes it will only be a matter of time before their outlet into the Atlantic is closed and a new one through the basin of the Missis-

sippi is opened. As the land ir the neigh- |
borhood of Chicago is the lowest along
the lake shore, it is there Professor Gil-
bert has located the outlet of the future, But as the waters only rise at the rate of one inch in ten years, it is plainly to be seen there is no immediate danger to the Wirdy City’s real estate valuation.
In fact, 500 years will have elapsed be- fore the cry of the gondolier will begin to be heard in the waterways of the western Venice and the clang of the cable car is hushed forever. Then the real trouble will begin. And in another such trifling period -—for years are as but seconds in the pre- dictions of the professor—the formation of the new outlet from the lakes to the Mississippi will have taken place, and over the site of the Chicago of today a mighty river will be flowing.
After Chicago has been disposed of the _
professer predicts trouble for the Niagara Falls hack drivers and newly wedded cou- ples. The latter will have to scek new fields to exhibit themselves in, and this will take away the sole support of the for- mer. In 2,500 years from now Niagara will be merely an intermittent stream and after another 500 years there will not be even a rivuiet there,
The only consolation remaining for Chi- ,
cago in all this is that, even if New York does exist. she won’t have Niagara at her doors any 'ouger.
ee An Explanation,
It was in the smoking room of the ho- tel. There was one big fellow who was blustering a great deal and telling of how many duels he had fought, and behind him sat a small man reading a magazine.
‘**Sir.’’ said the big man, as he wheeled around, ‘‘what would you do if challeng- ed?’
‘Refuse to fight,’’ was the quiet reply.
‘““Ah, Lthought as much. Refuse and be branded a coward! What if a gentle- man offered you the choiceof a duel ora public horsewhipping—then what?’’
““¥'d take the whipping.”’
‘“‘Ah—I thought so—theught so from the looks of you. Suppose, sir, you had foully slandered me.’”’
‘‘] never slander.’”’
‘«Then, sir, suppose I had coolly and de- liberately insulted you—what would you do?”’
“I'd rise up this way, put down my book this way and reach over like this, and take him by the nose as I take you, and give it a three-quarter twist—just so1"’
When the little man let go the big man’s nose, the rest of the company held their breath, expecting a terrific scene. But the big man turned red, then pale, then looked the little man over and re- marked:
‘‘Certainly—of course—that’s it exact- l .

A Real Poll Tax.
Boulevard loungers in Paris wera amused the other day when ten men, correctly garbed all exactly alike, walk- ed into a cafe and gravely ordered drinks, for, as they removed their hats, each man had painted on his bald heae one letter of a word advertising a new dramatic sensation. They were arrested, however, for evading the law that re- guires sandwich men and posters to pay a tax of 62 francs, but they were dis- charged on promising to affix the neces- éary stamps to their skulls, a poll tax, as it were.
