An Incident of Whistlers Student
Days In Paris
The oarfS scenes In Trilby havo
shown us the hilarious squalor of the
student life lu Paris whop Whistler
Joined the studio that Qloyro carried
on in succession to Dolaroohe It was
the Bohemia barely modernized of
Murgers novel and the shifts to
which these raw recruits In art de
scended furnished Whistler for life
with some of his raciest stories Once
when an American friend unearthed
him Whistler was living on the pro
ceeds of a wardrobe One hot day ho
pawned his coat for an iced drink
Invited once to the American embassy
he had to borrow Poynters dress suit
But the best story of these frolicsome
days arises from the eternal copying
In the Louvre either on commission
or on speett which kept them alive
between remittances Whistlers chum
Ernest Delanuoy had done a gorgeous
replica of Veroneses Marriage feast I
at Cana that took when framed the
pair of them to carry It They tried I
It on every dejjler tip andti < wrr bQtb
sides 01 the Seine until the first price l
of 500 francs had dropped with sev II
eral thud to 100 then 201 then 10
then 5 Suddenly the dignity of art
Asserted Itself
On the Pont des Arts they lifted the
huge canvas Untt they said with
a great swing dens troisvlan t
and over It went Into the water with a
splash Sergents de vllle came run
ning omnibuses stopped and boats
pushed out on the river Altogether
it was an immense Success and they
went home enchanted Pall Mall Ga

THE WRONG NOTE
Mozarts Outbreak at an Opera Per
formance at Marseilles
Mozart being once on a visit at
Marseilles went Incognito to bear the
performance of his Vlllanella Raplta
He had reason to be tolerably well
satisfied till In the midst of the princi
pal aria the orchestra through some
error in the copying of the score
sounded n D natural where the com
poser had written D sharp This sub
stitution did not Injure the harmony
but gave a commonplace character to
the phrase and obscured the sentiment
of the composer
Mozart no sooner heard It than he
started up vehemently and from the
middle of the pit cried out In a voice
of thunder Will you play D sharp
you wretches
The sensation produced In the thea
ter may be Imagined The actors were
astounded the lady who was singing
stopped short the orchestra followed
her example and the audience with
loud exclamations demanded the ex
pulsion of the offender Ho was ac
cordingly seized and required to name
himself He did so and at the name
of Mozart the clamor subsided and
was succeeded by shouts of applause
from all sides
It was insisted that the opera should
be recommenced Mozart was installed
In the orchestra and directed the
whole performance This time the D
sharp was played in its proper place
and the musicians themselves were I
surprised at the superior effect pro
duced After the opera Mozart wad
conducted In triumph to his hotel
The Thirteen Chicks
How difficult it Is to pick out truth
or fiction from apparently straightfor
ward recitals of the actions of animals
is wel shown in a communication sent
to one of our foreign exchanges by a
man who lays claim to long experi
ence in breeding game birds He stat
ed in all seriousness that only two of
his pheasant hens had hatched out
seventeen of the eighteen eggs placed I
under each one In the nests It Is a
curious fact be continues that both
hatched off on the same day and each
hen Immediately killed thlrtecn out ot I
her seventeen live chicks by pecking I
their brains and laid them In a row In I
front of her each exactly in the same I
way I steal be glad to know whether I
such a singular case has ever been
noted beforo
So shall I but at any rate in this
case at least thirteen was an unlucky II
number for both the chicks mitt their j
owners Forest and Stream 1

Her One Ambition
She wanted a job she told the man I
ager of the big store and everything
about her from drooping eyelashes to 11
neatly molded instep indicated that I
aha would draw enough trade or
ought to to cover her salary orI
But the manager told her that for I
one of her Inexperience she wouldI
command only about SO a week i
Stet accepted this if it was the best I
he could do but as she was about toI
turn away she hesitated and asked de
murely looking at him through the
drooping lashes Do you suppose you
could make that 7 a week so I could
havo a little laundry done once In
