what vagne notions about business
Some of them are quite Ignorant of it.
others jjttnrly Indifferent to it and oth
ers yet hate the very name of it. < >ne
in the last named category was Liszt.
He had returned from a successful
tour, and Princess Mettemlch. the
wife of the celebrated statesman and
diplomatist, was questioning !ii;.i v
garding the concerts he had been jdv-
Ing abroad.
"1 hear," she said, "'that you did
pood business in Paris."

"I only played some music there.
Business -that I leave to bankers and

me, I would go at once."

thiel, saying, "I had hoped for him."
Miriam, his sister, called him .Tared
because she had descended after him
Into the water to see what his end
would be. Aaron called his brother
Alu Zanuch because his father had de
serted their mother. Amram, the fa
ther of Moses, called the boy Chabar
because he was again reunited to the
mother of the lad. Kehath, the grand
father of Moses, called him Abigdor
because God had repaired the breach
in the house of Jacob. The nurse of
the grandfather of Moses .ailed him
Alii Socho because he was once hid
den three months in the Tabernacle.
All Israel called him Sliemaiah be
cause 'in his days Cod beard their
cries and rescued them from their op
pressors."
Dot and Trousseau.

tors, some noted for meanness, a Paris

tor, who \v;is somewhat parsimonious.
When his daughter was about to
marry. Lemaitre agreed to provide the
•'dot" and the trousseau. "Dot," it
may be observed, is the French equiv
alent for the English "dower" or Scot
tish "tocher."'
When the notary came to complete
the contract and was reading the
terms Lemaitre said: "The daughter of
Frederick Lemaitre has not need of a
dot. M. Le Notaire, strike out the
dot."
The prospective son-in-law was pres
ent, and he had the courage to reply:
"The daughter of Frederick Lemaitre
• an easily clothe herself with the fame
of her father, m. Le Notaire, pray
strike out the trousseau."
