Stories of Brahms.
Many stories are told of how the com
poser Brahms treated pianists null
singers who were eager to get his criti
cism. If one of these aspirants for Ills
favor was fortunate enough to find htm
at home and bo received, Brahms' tlrst
concern was to seat himself on the lid
of his piano, a position from which he
rightly deemed few would have the te
merity to oust him. If this failed, he
had recourse to the statement Uiat the
Instrument was out of tune. "Ob, that
does not matter," remarked one cour
ageous Individual. "Perhaps not to you,
but It does to me." replied the master.
On one occasion he was Just leaving
his house when a long haired youth,
with a bundle of music under his arm,
baileiT him with, "Can you tell me
where Dr. Brahms lives?" "Certainly,"
answered the master in the most amia
ble manner, "In this house, up three
flights." And. so saying, lie hurried
away.
The Teacherout Lioness.
i "Lionesses are far more dangerous
than lions," said an auimul trainer.
"Their tempers are more uncertain.
They are more treacherous, 'l'hey are
more wily. If a lion is iu a bad hu
mor, he shows it. He growls and
suarls aud lashes his sides. Vou know
what is In the wind and prepare ac
cordingly. But a lioness iu a bad hu
mor Is us affectionate as a girl. She
brushes, purring, against your leg. and
she minds you with the Joyous alac
rity of a good fox terrier. Then, as
soon as your back is turned, whiz? a
yellow streak shoots through the air,
and you are ou your back, aud she Is
at your throat. With all the cat tribe
It Is the same. Whenever you hear of
a trainer mauled or mangled, be sure
It was a female, not a male, cat that
did the deed."

What Words Can Do.
"Any one who swears," declared the
bishop of Carlisle, ??manifests the beg
garliness of his vocabulary." TheOou
coril Putrlot puts It In tills fashion:
"People swear because they do uot
know the possibilities of plain Kng
llsh or have not the skill to manipulate
it so that It will yield the amount or
fire they want. You can do almost
anything with common words. No
matter how tame and lifeless they
look standing In stupid rows as If
they didn't know enough to come In
when It rained, they cau be made to
dauce like Imps, to frolic like fairies,
to float augelwise on light wings, to
glow like tire spirits. They can do
thiugs that make the ordiuary bits of
profanity look like feeble scarecrow?
stiffened up with a fence stake. The
cure for profanity? reformers and edu
cators please make a note? Is merely
wit enough to handle your words so
that swearing will seeui like baby talk
in comparison."
rersrsn nug*.
"Antique Persian nigs." said the nig
talesman, "are dyed with vegetable
dyes; the new ones are dyed with anl
llue dyes. There's a great difference.
Vegetable dyes are fifty or sixty times
more expensive than anilines, and they
give n color that Is literally lmperish- '
able, a color that keeps growing richer
and richer till the rug falls to pieces.
Anilines, made out of coal tar. look
well enough at first, but they fade.
When a vegetable red or blue would be
at Its best on aniline red or blue would j
be nearly white. We civilized people
harmed the Chinese by Introducing our 1
cheap opium among them, and now we
have equally harmed the Persian rug j
by Introducing our cheap aniline*
among the rug weaver*."
Tea is better fresh ? if it
isn't, what does the grocer

has some tea just come

Fresh doesn't mean just

jcer wants it ? no faster ?
