Example of Criticisms Made by Brahms, the Famous Composer. Brahms, the composer, was noted for his kindliness, but, writes Georg Hen schel in "Personal Recollections of Johannes Brahms," he sometimes ut tered a good-natured sarcasm to which the roguish twinkle in his eyes cor responded. A would-be composer had asked Brahms to be allowed to play to him from the manuscript his latest composition, a violin concerto. Brahms consented to hear it, and seated himself near the piano. The man played his work with enthusiasm and force. When he finished Brahms got up, approached the piano, took a sheet of the manuscript between his thumb and middle finger, and rubbing it be tween them, exclaimed: "I say, where do you buy your music paper? First rate." Another time Mr. Henschel accom panied Brahms to the house of Mr. X . "You have no idea," declared Mrs. X :, "how hard a worker X is. I am proud and happy to have at last prevailed upon him to go for a walk with our daughter every day for two hours, thus keeping him at least for two hours a day from composing." "Ah, that's good, that's very good," said Brahms, instantly, looking as In nocent as a new-born babe. Youth's Companion. At the Top of the Heap. "Talk about your monopolists," said the obese party on the north end of & trolley car going south, "the chap I buy coal of has the rest of the bunch beaten to a fluffy frazzle." "What's the answer?" queried the passenger with the pale whiskers. "He has taken up plumbing as a side line for the winter," explained th heavyweight. For the Girl Graduate The month of Hoses and perfect days belongs to the "sweet girl graduate" quite as much as to the bride. Among the facinating accessories of the gradu ating outfit are the bretelles and girdle made of ribbon, and the novel lingerie sash for wear with any sheer frock. Attractive girdles are made of flowered ribbon and adorned with ribbon rose buds, or of the plain satin ribbon finished with a rosette and ends.

At the beginning of September some of the petroleum wells fired by a vio lent thunderstorm near the end of June at Boryslaw, Galicla, were still burning, like torch flames 40 or 50 feet in height. It is said that not fewer than five wells are struck by lightning every year at Boryslaw, the cause being ascribed to the obligatory use of sheet Iron coverings for all the Installations. The iron surfaces com munlcate with the system of metallic tubes, thus forming, during a thunder storm, a sort of Leyden Jar, which pro- yokes lightning strokes. A Logical Connection.

F0LEYSM0I1E1MAR tops tl couiili and Henls luntfs DO NOT USE RAW MUCK. Apt to Cause the Land to Grow Coarse Grass and Weeds. As bearing upon the question of the use of muck, I would like to quote the saying of a man to me, many years ago, who knew what he was talking about. It was this: "No one ever realizes bis expectation in the use of muck." It is an easy "fever" to get and I had it at the time, writes a correspondent of Rural New Yorker. The point I wish to call attention to Is concerning the applying of fresh dug muck direct to the land. It seems to me that it should never be done, but thrown out for the action of frost or to be well treated with lime. It came under ray observation many years ago, where great quantities of muck were applied to land. The farm adjoined that of the man from whom I quoted, and, if I remember rightly, his was in the same condition, vis., that it brought in a great variety of coarse grasses and weeds, so that the land was spoken of as being ruined. I saw the wild grasses growing, and it was an object lesson I was not likely to forget. It seems to me that it is well for us sometimes to profit by others' experience. The white field bean evidently grows well on an add soil. Lime doe not help It as it does some othfr crops. IGANG PLOW Let us show you the SYRACIISF "R" GANG It's a winner.
