EXPRESS RATES.
Reduced by the Railway Commission.
caren
The railway commission Monday, at
regarding express rates by issuing wo
Wi circulars. The first is as follows:
- oThe maximum charge per 100
pounds over 1 mile and not over 25
miles on shipments of classified mer-
chandise and classes B, C, and D, shall
not exceed 30 cents.�
This a reduction of 10 cents.
The second circular is as follows:
oOn all shipments cf freight originat-
ing and terminating in this State which
shall pass over the whole or portions of
two or more roads not under the same
control, the maximum rates charged
shall not be greater than the sums of
the local rates on such freight less 10
per cent, for the distance hauled over
each road.�
A Curious Oath.
The following curious vath was un-
til recently administered in the courts
of the isle of Man: oBy this book,
and the holy contents thereof, and by
the woncerful works that God has mir-
aculously wrought in heaven and_ the
earth beneath in six days and seven
nights, I do swear that I will, without
respect of favor or friendship, love or
gain, consanguinity or affinity, envy or
malice, execute the laws of this isle, and
between party and party as indifferent-
ly as a herrinTs back bone doth lie in
the middle of the fish.�
A Few Tongue-Twisters.
Most of you probably are the posses-
sors cfa limber tongue; but if you
want some good exercise for it just try
to repeat these sentences rapidly seve-
ral times in succession. You can also
derive a great deal of fun getting your
friends to do the same :
Six little thistle sticks.

~Iwo toads totally tired, tried to trot

A SONG OF SNOW-TIME,
Sing a song of snow-time
Now its passing by,
Million little fleecy flakes
Falling trom the sky;
When the ground is covered,
And the hedge and trees,
There will be a gay time
For the chickadeest
Boys are in the sehool-house,
Drawing on their slates
Pictures of the coasting-place,
And thinking of their skates;
Girls are nodding knowingly, -
Smilingly about.
Thinking of'a gay time
When the school is out.
Three oTclock, four oTclock,
Bang! goes the bell;
Get your hats and cloaks and wraps,
Hurry off, pell mell!
Bring along the coasters ali,
If you want some fun;
Up to the hill top,
Jump and slide and run!
Steady now! Ready now!
Each in his place!
Here we go, there we go,
Down on a race!
Sine a song of snow-time,
When the snow-flakes fall;
Coast time, skate-time,
Best time of all!

CONJURER WAS CONFIDENCED.
His Accomplice in a Trick Did Not Live
Up to His Agreement,
An illusicnist was talking the other
day of some of the accidents that some-
times spoil the art of the conjurer.
oTt was in Nashville, Tenn.,� he said,
othat I experienced a real knock-down
hiow. I was performing the well-
known trick of passing a marked coin
into the center of an uncut orange. At
least, thatTs what a good many people
thought I was doing. I used a silver
dollar and emphasized the trick by
passing the coin into the pocket of
some boy whom I had enticed on to the
stage. I will openly confess that the
boy had to be a confederate and that
the marked coin had its fellow in cne
previously prepared by me. One night
as 1 was entering the theater, I looked
around for a likely youth to aid me in
mv double dealing. I picked a boy and
promised to pass him in if he would
follow. my instructions.
o~T am a -conjurer,T I said. ~I want
yon to put this dollar in your right-
hand trousers pocket. I'll get you a
seat in the front row. When I ask for
somebody to come on the stage you
must come. Then I will ask you to
produce the dollar.T
oThe boy promised everything, and,
after making arrangements for him at
the door, I left him. When I was ready
for the dollar trick, I saw my young
confederate sitting open-mouthed in
the front row. I had prevailed upon
another member of the audience to
lend me a dollar marked exactly as was
that I had given to the boy.
oI passed that borrowed dollar into
the orange, cut the fruit open and out
dropped the coin. Then 1] wenton:
o*And now, ladies and gentlemen, I
will perform a still more «dittcult feat.
TI have passed the dollar into the orange.
Now I will ask some member of the au-
dience to step on the stage, and, with-
out going anywhere near him, I will
pass the same dollar, marked as you
have seen, into the righthand trousers
pocket,T
oTrue to his bargain, the boy dacged
to the stage, I stepped opposite himand
asled:
o ~Now, sir, have you ever seen ine be-
fore?T |
~No, sit,T was theanswer.
o*T have here a dollar,T I continued.
~I am going ~to pass it into your right-
hand trousers pocket. One~two"
three"go!T
oI made the proper magicianTs pass,
and smiled upon my audience.
o ~Now,T I said to my assistant, ~put
your hand into your right-hand troue
sers pockct, and give me the dollar.T
oThe boy looked a bit sheepish, but |.
he dived his fist.down, Then, to my.
unutterable horror, he produced. a
handful of silver and said:
sir,T

ed Him to the Wilderness.
Between Livingstone and his Boar
neighbors. there was little Jove. He}
accused the Boer farmers of cruelty
to the natives, and they resented his
interference and threatened to drive
| him out of the country. He publish-
ed thei misdeeds in the Cape news-
papers, and in revenge for his stric-
es they finally sot fire tohis housp
~purnéd him out.--
This it was which first induocd
Livingstone to travel to the north,
in hopes.of finding a land where he
could follow in peace his vocation as
missionary and where the Boar
farmers.could no longer molest him.
In his searoh for the ideal territory
he had in view he entered regions ut-
terly unknown to the best informed
-geogrtipher, and made many discov-
~eries of importance. ~It was then that
he discovered Lake�"� Ngami and the
southern feeders of the Zambezi. It
was from this motive that be wasted
fe ~bi journey across the
Jatbent to follow its course to its
bead -waters, and to make his way to
San Pawhde Loanda.in Angola, and
this was why he retraced hisT steps
and followed the.Zatiibezi to the enst-
ern ocean, wherp his first serics.of
remarkable adventures terminated
after sixteen years of travel.
Just as the Boer persecution had
: started. him on his éxplorations and
diverted him from his cherished mis-
sionary work, so the great reputa-
tion he obtained by:these brilliant
| feats of travel and valuable discov-
crige of great lakes and rivers tended
to separate him still further from
his trué role. He'had revealed the
exigtenice of a tropical world, of Jux-
uriaht ~savannas and extensive for-
ests,"*where animal. life was prolife

WIENIAWSx KNookeD ~OUT.
an corer of the Faszoas Violinist In
ristoeratic Society,
- Bugene Isayo tells this story of
WieniawskiTs experience in Paris, in
which the artist did not come off first
best either. When that violinist was | |
the rage, 20 years ago or more, a bar-
oness of the Faubourg St. Germain
insisted on his coming to her soiree.
~He did not care much about doing
so, but finally gave in. When he
went, the baroness received him with
effusion, and after a few moments, | .
when a few people were present,
asked him to playT something. He/|
glanced around; the baroness had
gone back to the head of. the stair.
case, and there were present a few
shriveled up old gentlemen and
three or four young girls. oBah !""
he said to his accompanist, shrug-
ging his shoulders.
~ErnstTs Elegie.T TT
Now, you know that ~~ErnstTs Ele-
gieT�T is of all compositions the most
dull and uninteresting. It is tedious
enough to drive a hearer to commit
suicide,
They played ~ ~Ernst's Elegie," and
the baroness, who had been out of
hearing during the performance,
came. beaming into the room soon
after, at least so: runs the story in |:
the Pittsburg Dispatch.
~~Ah, monsieur, how beautiful! I
cannot thank you enough, but might
I dare to ask you to play once again?
Yes!TT And she hastened away to
welcome more guests.
~~What shall we play?� asked the
accompanist. Wienjawski looked
around. The company was becoming
more nuinerous, but no more inter-
esting than at the beginning. ~LetTs
play ~ErnstTs ElegieT again,TT he said.
They did so with renewed lack of
attention from every one and anoth-
er burst of ecstasy from the baron- |
ess and a third request to play, after
which she fitted away again.
~Tf these people donTt understand. |
~ErnstTs ElegieT they must hear it till
they do,TT Wieniawski said to his ac-
companist when she had gone, so he

' Thus. far this is the story as Wi-
eniawski tells it, but Rubinstein,
who heard it repeated once, said,
~*Ah, but you have omitted the last |
part,TT and this is how he ended it:
~As Wicniawski was leaving the bar-
onessT house one of the guests, a lit.
tle, shriveled old. gentleman, who
had been present from the beginning
of the soiree, came up to the violinist,
~Monsieur Wieniawski,T he piped, ~I
havo felt the most profound. admira- |
tion for your playing tonight. In-
deed, I have never missed a concert
that you have given in Paris.T Wi-
eniawski bowed, and the old gentle-
man continued: ~There is one piece
in your repertory thatT once made
the most profound impression on
me, aud I desire ardently to hear it
again.. Come with your violin tomy
house tomorrow or the day after and
name your own terms, for before I
die I must hear you. play | ~ErnstTs
Elegie. 2999
Rubinstein ~says that Wieniawski
did not stop to make the appoint-
ment, He'rushed out of the house
too much overcome. to say whether
he would gratify the old gentlemanTs
last wish, and that is one of the most
authentic musical histories that were
ever penned, for Rubinstein and Wi-
eniawski both vouched for it.
