Rosenthal was barely in his fourth year
when he first began to show unmistakable
signs of his destined calling, and at the
age of 0 ho walked all the way from Lem-
Moriz Rosenthal.
berg, his native place, to Vienna, to call
uj>on Joseffy. The latter received him
with some amusement at first, but after
hearing the boy play he became convinced
of his real merit, and willingly undertook
his tuition. Mikuli was Rosenthal’s first
teacher, and when only 10 years old he
made his initial appearance in public with
his master, performing Chopin's Rondo in
C for two pianos. Eater on, when his
family determined to settle in Vienna,
Rosenthal placed himself altogether under
the tuition of Joseffy. The work he did
at that time would have wrecked the con
stitution of a strong man, for, besides
practicing on ihe piano for six and seven
'■o :rs a day, he was also a student of the
1 diversity of Vienna. Philosophy and
philoiigy were the subjects that interested
nim most, and an early proof of his keen
and analytical mind. He passed his “ma
turity" examination and went to the lec
tures of Zimmerman, Brentane and
Hanslkk, obtaining the degree of M.
A. with the greatest honors. Of
his subsequent return to the concert stage
in ISS2 and his long fine of unbroken suc
cesses in all parts of Austria? Germany,
Russia and Great Britain, there is no need
to dwei;, as \ hoy are familiar subjects to
who follow the course of musical

WOMEN AT THE BANKS.
Some Good llanking Hnles for Men
a. Well a. Women.
Washington Letter In Chicago Record.
The Fifth Avenue National Bank of
New York has 5,000 women depositors. It
is situated at the cornet of Forty-fifth
street and Fifth avenue, in the midst of
the residences of the wealthy classes, and
is almost exclusively patronized by rich
women, who keep their household ac
counts and pin money there. The receiv
ing tellers are very busy during the first
few days of every month, when the pa
trons of the bank bring in the allowances
they have received from their husbands or
fathers, but the rest of the time they
have comparatively few deposits to take
care of and have plenty of time to assist
the paying tellers in cashing checks that
have been drawn to meet grocery or
dressmakers’ bills. It is also the favor
ite institution of women who are rich in
their own right and make large deposits
on interest and dividend days and when
their rents come due.
The Lincoln National Bank in Forty
second street, near Madison avenue; the
Columbia Bank, at the corner of Fifth
avenue and Forty-second street; the Bank
of New Amsterdam, at Broadway and
Fortieth street, and the Plaza Bank, near
the entrance to Central Park, are also
favorite depositors for women.
Many bankers have a prejudice against
women depositors, because of their lack
of punctuality', their indifference to bus
iness rules, their tendency to overdraw and
their inability to keep their balances
straight; hut the officials of these partic
ular banks say that such objections are
unjust, and that when a woman once
learns how to look after her money she
gives very little trouble. So far as the
matter of overdrafts is concerned they
have more trouble from men, and men
customers as a rule exact accommoda
tions which women never expect. New
York banks have a rule not to pay
checks drawn by women in excess of
their deposits, and therefore there is no
loss on that account. Women have no
notes to be discounted, no drafts to be
cashed, and never ask for loans or> doubt
ful collaterals.
At; the banks I have referred to have
deposit check books of an attractive ap
pearance, made especially for their women
customers, and upon the fly leaf are print
ed rules for their instruction. The Lin
coln National Bank furnishes its lady pa
trons a list of “Don’ts" as follows:
’•Don’t draw a check unless you have
the money in the bank or in your posses
sion to deposit.
"Don’t test the courage and generosity
of your bank by presenting, or allowing
to be presented, your check for a larger
sum that your balance.
"Don’t draw a check and send it to a
person out of the city, expecting to mane
it good before it can possibly get back;
sometimes telegraphic advice is asked
about such checks.
"Don’t exchange checks with anybody;
this is called 'kiting’ and is soon discov
ered by your hank. It does your friend
no good and discredits you.
"Don't quarrel with the teller because
he does not pay you in money exactly as
you wish; as a rule, he does Ihe best he
can. In all your intercourse with the
bank officers treat them with the same
courtesy and candor that you would ex
pect and desire if the situations were re
versed.
"Don't give your check to a stranger.
This is an open door to fraud, and if the
bank loses through you it will not feel
kindly toward you. When you send your
checks out of the city to pay bills write
the name and residence of your payee
thus: ‘Pay to John Jones & Cos. of Bos
ton.’ This will put your bank on guard
it presented at Ihe counter.
"Don't commit the folly of supposing
that because you trust the bank with
money the bank ought to trust you oy
paying your overdrafts.
"Don’t suppose you can behave badly in
one hank and stand well with the others.
Rt member, there is a clearing house.
“Don't think it is unreasonable if your
bank declines to discount an accommoda
tion note. If you want an accommodation
note discounted, tell your bank frankly
that it is not, in their definition, a busi
ness note."

THE LITERARY OUTLOOK.
FARMER JOHN 111 HKOI'GHS GI T
for his hoi vn of n inter
visits.
A New Mystery Novel—T. H. Connery,
Former Editor of the New York -
Herald—Forgotten Novels of Dis
tinguished Historians—The I.iking
of Authors for Fruit Farming*—\
New I'flhle About .loniiuiii Miller.
New York, Feb. 11.—John Burroughs,
like other farmers, vails himself of the
leisure of the winter lo make visits. He
has been here for a week or ten days, visit
ing especially his friend Richard Watson
Glider, the editor of the Century, hut also
going about and seeing the brethren of
the literary fraternity generally. He has
intimacies with the younger men as well
as the older, and is admired alike by both
for his fine independence and sturdy sim
plicity of life and aim. Before coming here
he passed several weeks with friends at
Cambridge and Boston. There he came
under the malign touch of the grip, and
was still showing (he effects of it when
he reached New York.
Even in the busy season. I think Mr.
Burroughs does not allow his farming to
become too exclusive an interest. His
place up on the west bank of the Hudson,
near the village of Esopus, has often been
described. It is simply one of the little
fruit farms so familiar in that locality,
with—nearby, but not adjoining—a small
low-water tract, that Mr. Burroughs nas
acquired within the last three or four
years, and developed into a celery plan
tation. He has, in a way, a home or both
the farm proper and the annex. On Ihe
farm proper is the family homestead—a
simple house of the bet let' sort common
in the locality, wherein the daily life does
not differ much frohi that of most well
to-do country households. On the annex
or the celery patch is a rather rude cabin,
which is maintained chiefly as a conveni
ence refuge for those who are caring for
the ground and crop, but in one corner
of which—without any special shutting off
—Mr. Burroughs manages to maintain a
sort of study. Through a good part of
the main house—to reserve to himseif
the year he is able—here ore in
some good hours each day for reading and
writing. It goes without the saying that
in the methods of his literary work, he
is not much like a popular novelist. He
doesn’t have contracts running to nineteen
hundred and something, pledging him to
deliver, stoutly packed and on the cars,
so many hundred thousand words a year
of his inspired compositions. And he
doesn't set to his writing and leave off,
at the sound of a punctual electric hell,
nor does he prosecute it on a table so
contrived as to make an automatic count
lit plain view before him, of every word
he pens, that he may know, as he goes on,
whether he is maintaining the pace that
the fulfillment of his contracts requires.
Imagine such a thing for John Burroughs,
a man who would spend half a day sit
ting on a log, simply to make sure of the
whistle of a strange bird!
Anna Katharine Green has just complet
ed anew novel, and the serial publication
of it will begin in a month or two. It is
entitled "Agatha Webb." and I can say
for it that it is, in point of interest and
complexity of p.ot, as notable as anything
the author has ever written. It is rather
a long story, but the reader, once started
on it, will never give over until he has
solved the whole mystery. With any nov
elist, ingenuity in plot construction has
to be a clear gift. No writer can come
by such ingenuity by merely setting to
work to acquire it. And not infrequently
novelists who have this gift produce with
gieaf rapidity. But Mrs. Green is not of
this class. She proved in her very first
novel, “The Leavenworth Case,” publish
ed when she was 32 years oid, that she
had the art of plot-weaving in no ordin
ary degree; but she has always been rather
slow and elaborately painstaking in her
work. On her new novel, she tells md,
she has spent two full years. In private
life, Anna Katharine Green is Mrs. Charle3
Rohlf. Green was her maiden name; and,
as she had published four novels under
that name before her marriage, and had
thus made it well known to ihe reading
public, she retained it for her books after
her marriage. She is a native of Brook
lyn, but her home at present is In Buf
falo.
Mr. W. D. Howells is, a novelist of as
little fixity in his residence as Hawthorne
was. Though in a way chained as with
iron to his native town of Salem, and liv
ing always so apart from the drive and
urgency of the world. Hawthorne, after
all, had more homes In the course of his
scant 60 years of life than men even of
great activity are apt to have. Mr. How
ells is a very different personage, being,
in a fashion, not a little of the man of
the world; but even for such a man he
has moved early and often. He seems now
to have given up Boston for good; for
the last Six or seven years he has been
a consistent New Yorker, even to the point
of absenting himseif as completely as pos
sible from the city between May and Oc
tober. But during these six or seven years
he has shown more or less division of mind
regarding the part of the city he wanted
to live in. Twice or more he 'has made
trial of what is called "down town,” es
tablishing himself on the East Side, in the
district between Fourteenth and Twenty
third streets;and he has experimented with
the quarter near lower Central park. It
is in this latter locality' that he is living
now. Something over a year ago, it will
be recalled, he came to be quite seriously
out of health; so much so that he went
to Europe jn search of relief. He has
quite recovered of late, and I understand
that this winter he is unusually well.
I understand from a friend of Joaquin
Miller's that he is very much annoyed at
the story widely published of late that
he was going on the vaudevi.le stage. He
is now on a lecturing tour—a perfectly
plain, straight-out lecturing tour, without
gimcracks or song-and-dance attachments
of any sort—and that is ail there is in the
story. Joaquiiy Miller has probably had
more fiction written about him than al
most any o*her man. That is the penally
he has had to pay for being an original.
He is an original—so much everybody
knows; and, therefore, it has seemed like
ly to over-imaginative writers that every
body would swallow any story they might
attach to his personality, however fantas
tic. I am told by persons who know Joa
quin Miller well that he has at heart the
idea of Tolstoi, and endeavors to live in
all his daily life in close conformity with
the scheme of the gospels. Like Tolstoi,
he is something of a farmer, and works
and lives with his laborers on a perfect
equality. He has a commodious house and
a little olive farm near Oakland, Cal., and
he lives with his mother, now grown pretty
old, and his daughter, who for, a time,
was on the stage. His house is more
pioperly an assemblage of houses. ea™h
room is under its own individual roof, in
his own apartment, he has collected vari
ous treasures; hut he has rigorously . x
cluded from it all books, even his own,
his desire being to have noth'ng altoiu that
mißht distract him from living rigorously
with nature. The most unusual item >n
the equipment of the estate is a crema
tory, w here in Joaquin Miller designs that
his own body especially shall be reduced
to ashes after he has resigned the use
of it.
Fruit farming seems to be an especially
attractive vocation to authors. B> mere
chance I have already named in this let
ter two who have found it so; and tMere
have been other rather notable instances.
Or.e is that of t. P. Roe. the author,
whose novels sold, in the eottrse of a com
parativefy few years, to the unique meas
ure or over 1.000.000 copies. During the last
14 years of his life, Mr. Roe conducted a
noted fruit farm at Cornwall-ou-the-Hiid
son. The story of it is quite familiar to his
readers for a good deal of the experience
and incident of his fruit farm went into
his later books. Yet another instance is
that of Richard Rlackmore. whose absorp
tion In his fruit farm has been more or less
of a sorrow to his admirers, because it Is
thought to have kept him from writing
more “Lorna Ilooncs.” The theory is prob
ably a littie over fond. In the 3D years
since "Isorna Doone" appeared. Mr. Black
more has managed in spite of ihe fruit
farm, to write upwards of a dozen novels
nnd excellent as some of them unques
tionably are, not one of them has quite
reached the mark of “Lorna Doone;" and
probably the result would not have been
essentially different if there had been no
fruit farm. Mr. Blackmore's farm lies on
the bank of the Thames, quite near Lon
don. Those who have seen it tell me that it
is a most charming place; and certainly
the world can afford to do without sever
al pretty fair novels for the sake of the
tine example of simplicity and Intleitentl
ence which Mr. Blackmore has afforded
it In his serene, industrious, quiet life there.
One of the men most answerable for
the good name of the Authors' Club In
(he matter of hospitality is Thomas B.
Connery. If you go to any of the special
social entertainments of the club, you will
rarely fall to find Mr. Connery there; and
if you need a guide and friend, he will
6erve you with a promptness and good
old-fashioned courtesy that will make it
all very smooth and pleasant for you.
For many years Mr. Connery was an im
portant man oti the New York Herald;
for fifteen years he was the editor. Dur
ing recent years he lias been (he editor
of several different weekly papers—'Truth,
for one, and last, Collier's Weekly. A
year or two ago, however, he retired from
active work, and now devotes himself to
writing simply as some subject interests
or provokes him. His articles are often
seen in the magazines, and he has pub
lished several novels, and histories of va
rious political episodes. He has an inter
esting store of political reminiscences. Be
fore he became the editor of the Herald,
he was its representative in Washington,
and he has known personally most of the
public men of his time. He Is a tall, fair
man—beginning now lo walk with not too
brisk a step and (o stand in not too
straight a posture—and in voice and eye
and manner he bespeaks himself to you
as one whose primary qualities are mod
esty and kindliness In a day when, even
among the literary people, boasting is the
customary note and self-seeking the gen
eral attitude, it Is very delicious to fall in
with such a man—especially at a club.
The London Academy, a while back,
gave an account of a forgotten novel by
James Anthony Froude. It was publish
ed under a nom de plume, “Zeta,” when
Froude was not quite 30 years old. and
■was entitled ''Shadows of the Clouds.”
The book is to be found now in none of
the book sellers’ shops, not even the sec
ond-hand ones, and it is rarely found In
any public or private library. Its general
disappearance is due, however, quite as
much to the author’s repentance as to the
public's indifference, for Froude himself
suppressed it as far as he could. His rea
son for doing o is generally supposed
to have been that he concluded, on re
flection, that 'the'Sfory related too much
from the author's own life. There is an
other instance of a forgotten adventure
in novel writing by an eminent historian,
and here (ho author himself had no part
in promoting the subsequent oblivion of
his work, except that undesigned part of
failing to make it sufficiently Interesting
to live. Ih this instance, the novelist
was the eminent historian of the Dutch
republic. In 1839, when Motley was 25
years old, he published a novel entitled
“Morton’s Hope," and this was his first
work. It is always mentioned with a
certain respect by his biographers, but I
doubt if any of the present race of novel
readers has ever seen it; I know I never
have. Ten years later, after he had pub
lished some historical essays and had be
gun to gather materia! for a history of
Holland, he made a second venture of the
kind in “Merry Mount, a Romance of the
Massachusetts Colony.” This had been
written some time before it was publish
ed; so it, too, was, in a sense, a youthful
effort. It was regarded by the author's
friends os a great advance on the earlier
story, and as a book of gotsl promise;
but the promise, even they allowed, was
for an historian rather than for a novel
ist. E. C. Martin.
A New Way of Making n Vacuum.
From Nature.
By making use of the exceedingly low
temperatures that can now be obtained, a
simple method for exhausting X-ray and
other vacuum tubes presents itself. An
example of this was given by Prof. Dewar
at a recent meeting of the Royai Society,
at which he was alile to produce the end of
a closed ‘tube filled with air into liquid
hydrogen, the air quickly condensed at
the bottom in a solid form. It then only
remained to separate from the rest that
part of the tube from which the air had
been so removed, by heating and sealing
off, and the tube was found to possess
an extremely high vacuum. In fact, so
perfect was (he vacuum that it was diffi
cult to pass an electric current through it.
One great advantage of this mode of pro
cedure is that in the above case only one
minute was taken to obtain the required
result.

and the beneficial effects of Postum Ce

"We find, as you say, that neither the
