STOPPED THE OVATION.
Hliliard Wagner'n Teonltar Experi
ence In Vienna.
When Wagner was at the height of
his popularity he visited Vienna. Bar
on von Beust, then chancellor of the
empire, was informed that the Prus
sian party intended to give him an im
mense serenade-a serenade which
Would have the air of German protest
agaiust the tendency of the ministry to
make the union of Hungary and Aus
tria more intimate. The demonstration
promised to arouse strong feeling.
"Your excellency is warned," said
the chancellor's advisers. "It Is impos
sible to stop this manifestation unless
Wagner goes away, and he loves ova
tions too well. Nothing will induce him
to depart."
"You think so." said Beust. with a
smile.
An hour later Waguer was invited to
diue with the chancellor. He was flat
tered by the invitation and accepted It.
After dinner, at which Beust was de
lightfully affable and entertaining, the
«.hanc 'llor remarked: "Herr Wagner,
are you interested iu autographs? I
have some very curious ones to show
you." And he opened a portfolio where
were letters of Paluierston, Blsmarclc.
Napoleon 111., llelne and others.
Suddenly turniug to a paper, dated
IS4\ he sai.i: "Ah. look at this. It it
very curious. What would your friend
his highness tlie king of Bavaria say if
this paper, which would be significant
in connection with the political sere
nade which the Germans are going to
give you. should be published tomor
row in the Vienna papers?"
The composer examined the paper
and recognized, with surprise, an old
proclamation of one Klcliard Wagner,
who, an ardent revolutionist in 1848,
had prjp >sed to the youth of that time
to set lire to the palace of the king of
Saxony. He saw his autograph and
that it might be the means of getting
him Into serious trouble.
"Very curious. Is it not, Herr Wag
ner?" said the minister.
"Very ciirious. your excellency." re
plied Irs guest.
The next morning ltichard Wagner
left Vienna, recalled to Balreuth by
urgent business. —Strand Magazine.
STORE WINDOW LIGHTS.
Herniation* Kor Their Control mm
Applied In Berlin.
The regulation of artificial lighting
lu connection with window displays is
a subject which has been given com
paratively little attention by the mu
nicipalities of this country, considering
the extent to which it is used for this
purpose in these days. That this
phase of the lighting question demands
closer scrutiny there can be no doubt,
and it might be well for information
ou the matter to look to those cities
which havo given It study. Stringent
regulations have been adopted in Ber
lin and other European cities, where
merchants were inclined to take ad
vantage of laxity iu the premises. In
Berlin lamps outside shop windows
must not be lower than ten feet above
the pavement or project more than
forty Inches from the wall. Where
the lighting In the windows Is done by
oil, petroleum, gas flame or Welsbachs
there must always be a sheet of glass
not less than one-tenth of an Inch thick
under the lamps and running the
whole length and breadth of the shop
windows, so as to completely cover
the articles In the window, and noth
ing Is to be put above the lamps. The
lamps must be at least forty inches
tielow any luflammable part of the
construction and ten Inches from any
such part horizontally.
There are also regulations as to Iron
screens where there is bare wood and
as to efficient ventilation. Bare flames
are not allowed iu Igniting the gas.
This must tie done by chemical or elec
trical klndlers or by electric distance
spark kindling arrangements especial
ly sanctioned by the authorities. The
regulations for Incandescent electric
lamps are about equally strict.—Mu

UNTFORM STEPS.
With Them Mia; Falls Uowaitaln
Would Be Averted.
Falls on staircases are of rather com
mon occurrence, especially In houses
where the stairs are steep, dark or
built with sharp turns. The frequent
causes of serious falls have suggested
that the likelihood of accident of this
kind would l>e lessened considerably
all steps were built according to a
standard of height and breadth.
A child's fall ou the stairs Is apt to
be bad enough, and for an adult It
may have serious consequences, but
for au aged person the result le not
unlikely to be fatal; hence It Is held
that the construction of staircases de
serves more attention than Is ordina
rily paid to It
The trouble is that stair climbing is
not a natural method of progression
for the humau being. A child may
learn to walk with ease, but it is a
long time l>efore It can ascend a stair
way tu an upright position without
losing Its balance. Stairs have been
brought about by necessity, however,
and the ordinary person has become so
accustomed to them that he dashes up
and down them without paying any
more heed to Ills steps than if hewers
walking on a surface level. Motion be
comes purely mechanical, without any
effort of will, and the muscles of the
leg automatically adjust themselves
so as to lift the foot to the height of
the steps on the stairway most fre
quently used The stride unconscious
ly becomes adapted to a certain height
in taking steps
This unconscious estimate of height
often is the cause of many falls. When
a different stairway is used the foot is
unaccustomed t > the pitch, aud hence
a trip !.< likely to occur. On narrow
and steep staircases there should be a
hand rail on eieh side. The instinctive
clutch lollowiiig a stumble would
mean the saving of many limbs and
heads. But the surest way to obviate
accidents would be to standardize all
stairways, at least in the matter of
heigh t.— New York Press.

Had lrinda been beautiful or had she
known that there were times when she
was very charming Indeed It never
would have happened.
Irinda's worst fault was morbidness
when she remembered that she was
sallow and pale eyed and had sandy
hair when she would have preferred
pink and white complexion, dark eyes
and golden hair. She would have add
ed dimples and beautifully arched eye
brows. too. If she could have had her
way about it. As a matter of fact, II
was only when she was remembering
her ugliness that she really was ugly.
Her face in her times of forgetting pic
tured quite pleasantly her pure spirit
and loving heart.
Irinda and a Jolly lot of other music
lovers were on a train hound for San
HEIS Kvrs n AXDEKGD TO THE OPPOSITK
BII>B OF THE CAlt.
Francisco and a week of grand opera.
Jim. her satellite, was along, not be
cause lie appreciated grand opera, but
because he appreciated Irinda.
So much for the hero and heroine.
Next the villain, to whom his Celtic
mother had given a ravishing pair of
blue eyes and a tongue tuned to soft
words. Barney was not a villainous
j villain at all—just a warm hearted boy
who loved everybody and wanted to be
loved by everybody in turn. He must
have the villain's part because there
cannot be a second hero and because—
But you shall see.
As the train sped along Jim went to
the smoker not to smoke, for he had
never learned how, but because he
feared Irinda might be tiring of him.
Barney Imnie liately took his place.
Soon after a lady and gentleman
boarded the tr.'.i As Irinda's seat
had been turned so that her back was
toward the engine, the newcomer*
were in full view of her. The lady
bent her head, and some rice fell from
her smart brown turban. The gentle
man smiled, and lady's cheeks
went ml as roses. Then she opened
her magazine and tried to look uncon
scions.
"Oh. Baruey," breathed Irinda, "Isn't
the bride lovely? L)o look at that but
terfly in her veil Just at the corner of
her sweet red mouth! See that perfect
curve from her forehead to her chin as
she 1 inks out the window. Now, quick.
Barney, she is turning to her husband.
See her beautiful eyes. They're as
brown as her dainty hat."
Barney's ra\ ishing eyes glanced at
the beautiful lady, Barney's quick
mind took in the situation, and Bar
ney's wnrni heart rose to the occasion.
Smilingly he turned to Irinda.
"Why. I never think of a woman's
looks, whether she has a pretty face or
not. That doesn't appeal to me. When
1 know a woman she attracts me or
not according to whether or not she
has magnetism. Magnetism Is as good
a name as any other for what no one
understands. But, believe me, Irinda,
magnetism is the charm of a woman,
not a pretty face."
Barney's blue eyes said so much more
than his tongue, rolling ever so slight
ly his "r's," that Irinda's colorless face
flushed becomingly. The eyes said that
she. Irinda Bowen, had the magnet
lam. or whatever It was, and that it
had never occurred to Barney whether
or not she was pretty.
Happy thoughts fluttered around Irin
da for the rest of the journey. Barney
left her, and .Tim came back. She
smiled at him. He didn't know It was
an Impersonal stnlle, born of Barney's
words. She remembered th« day when
she had crieM o-t fiercely at her lack
of beauty. ;; id Jim had answered:
"What difference does it make what
you look like? You ar<* always beau
tiful to me. Irinda."
He never knew why she had pushed
him away when he would have put his
arms around her Stupid old Jim
couldn't know that he had made a
tacit ackn ' v'.edgmeut of her ugliness,
while Barney why. Barney had never
thought anything about It.
Grand opera week went by in a dl
apason of glory. Irinda was wonder
fully happy, and every day she told
herself shyly and with many blushes
how much she was caring for Barney.
It was not till the j were homeward
bound that the tragedy happened.
The tragedy? No. it was not the
train leaving the rails and plunging
dowu an embankment. It was only
Barney's pleasant voice, rolllug ever
so slightly his r's -It was only Barney
making this remark to Alderly. the
chaperon's husband:
"I have been noth ing the ladies in
this car, and I don't believe I ever saw
to many lieautiful ones together. Don't
you know it is rare to find a really
beautiful woman? If her eyes are
tine, something is wrong with her chin:
If her nose"
Irinda felt sick and voluntarily clos
ed her e.-irs, while her sun seemed to
leave its horizon. Barney, who never
thought of a woman's looks, was dis
cussing woman's beauty! Then he bad
j not meant what he had said to her at
j all.
Irinda felt very much as she had
i when some one told her that George
Washington and his little hatchet aud
William Tell and the apple were prob
, ably only pleasant stories. But at the
j same time she was suddenly conscious
i that she did not love and never had
loved Barney. Her eyes wandered to
the opposite side of the car, where Jim
; «at alone. A little flicker of sunshine
j was touching hU brown hair with gold.
I Irinda. w.tli a qu.ck indrawing of her j
| breath, remembered that it had looked
i Just si tli.' uijt'iii.ig her mother .die.i
I me doctor naa toia them—her father 112
and herself- that the sick one could j
not live through the day, and he had
gone away and left tliem to their sor
row. Miserably father and daughter'
had communed together. She must be
told, but each shrank from the telling, i
Just then Jim had come. He had been i
like a son to Irinda's mother, and they i
relegated the task to him, knowing
that Jim never had shirked a duty in !
his life.
She remembered how he had gone
about it -not smoothing over the sad
facts at all, but with eyes and manner
and words so full of sympathy and
tenderness and stanch hope of the un
known future that death seemed to
lose something of its dread. And as
she. at the foot of the bed, had lifted j
up her tear stained face she saw a ray j
■>f sunlight touch Jim's hair Just as it
was tiling uov..
She tried to picture Barney in the
death chamber. He would not have
lacked in sympathy, but he would have
tried to bring encouragement where no
encouragement could be. She drew
contrasts as she watched the brown
j hair turning f.<dden —contrasts between
j foam of the sea and the cool blue
! depths of the ocean itself, between a
; bending reed and a sturdy pine, be
tween irresponsibility and true heart
i edness. Then she went over to the
i seat where Jim sat alone. The face be
| turned toward her startled her with its
i sternness.
"Irinda. i have loved you for a long
j time, but you've always put me off
; from telling you. It may as well be
' settled now and forever. I want you
for my wife, and I'll do my best to
make you happy. I don't want any
trifllug, child. Just plain yes or no."
"Jim. if you really want any oue so
selfish and ugly and foolish as I am
I'm sure you're more than welcome.
I'm not worthy to be your wife,
though." she replied humbly.-
"Thou art all that Is fair to me. my
beloved,"
Jim's voice was hushed as one who
prays. His eyes, looking down rever
, ently at his little sweetheart, were
wondrous in their great happiness, and
; Irinda, though tearful, smiled content
edly in answer.

ed. We were sitting upstairs In his
study, his family having retired, add
he asked hie to excuse him while he
saw that the house was locked up.
It was a still night, and I could follow
his progress around the various rooms
on the first floor. He seemed to me
to be unnecessarily long, and, without
being inquisitive, I really became in
terested to know whether he wasn't
making the rounds twice. Finally I
heard him go Into the parlor, a room
I was sure he had visited at least once
before. When he came upstairs I
asked laughingly how many times he
had seen that each window was fas
ened. But he wasn't in a laughing
mood at all.
" 'lt's a funny thing, old man,' he
said, 'but I've been fool enough to look
at each window two or three times.
Do you know, it would strike me after
I had left u room that perhaps I hadn't
put the catch properly on one of the
windows there, and back I'd have to
goto make sure. Being in there, I'd
examine the other windows again. It's
been that way for half a dozen nights.
Somehow doing these things doesn't
seem to make the Impression on me
that one would expect. This lack of
sureness Isn't confined to lockiug win
dows either. I find myself at the
office wondering whether I have given
such and such Instructions—lnstruc
tions that are so much a part of my
daily work that I suppose I give them
mechanically and then forget them.
Nine times out of ten I find everything
is all right, but I'm not quite happy
till I do. I guess I must be getting
old maldish In my old age.'
"It was my turn to be serious then.
I explained to him that his forgetful
ness all came from being overtired.
From habit he worked like an automa
ton, doing this, that and the other
thing In his business or home life, but
a great number of his actions were
without the cognizance of the brain.
He needed rest and If he did not take
it he would Vrortk down.
"I got him away from cares for a
bit, and tie next time I saw him he
laughed as he. - tily over the incident
of the much lo ked windows as I pre
tended to He doesn't know it, but he
had a narrow escape. I'm telling this
story that it may serve as a warning
in an overstn >;n age."—New York

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.
Be Hopeful, Avoid Worry aud See
the AmiiMiiiK Side of Life.
Women more than men are possess
ed with a dread of growing old, not
realizing that maturity has Its charms
and compensations. We wish young
people oftener had it impressed upon
them that they may provide for a hap
py old age by laying up b reserve of
sound health and a store of happy
memories as well as by cultivating
tastes and resources which will out
last youth. As for those who lire al
ready approaching middle age, there
Is no surer way to grow old premature
ly than to dread the future. It is es
sential, if we wish to keep young, to
cultivate that hopeful habit of mind so
characteristic of youth—the hope which
makes one able to say with Browning,
"The best is yet to came," and with
Lucy Larcum, "Every year life Is lar
ger and deeper and more beautiful in
its possibilities." Allied with this at
titude of expectancy must be the abil
ity to see the amusing side of life.
Worry and vexation over what would
better be laughed at result in disfigur
ing wrinkles. Above all. if the years
bring us. as they should, a better un
derstanding of ourselves, a broadening
of active human sympathies, a firmer
faith in Providence, we shall find life
abundantly worth the living, no mat
ter what may be the number of our
birthdays.—Western Review.
Tlie Heart of a Child.
That which disparages us and quick
ens revolt Is no less a factor in a
child's emotional life. But there is this
dlfTerence—we have the better oppor
; tunlty to defend ourselves and to ob
j tain reparation. So there is a certain
. pathetic pleasure In standing with hu
manity where Its Joys, its longings, Its
embarrassments and its disappoint
ments are simplest and newest, and,
perforce, where impotency is absolute.
Give me this most uncommercial, this
divlnest of enterprises for my own!
Give me a child to lie at home with, to
be in absolute confidence with! If I
cannot refashion my warped, wrln
kled and discolored old soul Into the
unbiased graces and the ethereal purl
ty of the ««r»irit of the child, let me now
and again open that little door and
shut myself in that little heart, just for
the sheer lelight of it.—Fattersou Du
Bois in Success Magazine.

AMEND THE PRIMARY LAW.
The new primary law seems to have
worked pretty well in various parts of
: tne State. One of tlie greatest defects,
j however, is the absence of provision
J f-«r publicity of the returns. If the
election board fails to post the figu
j res, ami there is nothing compelling
1 it to do so, voters will have to relv on
statements the board members may
choose to make or else wait until the
following Wednesday when the coun
ty commissioners begin the count. An
ameudment providing that the public
be informed officially of results seems
to be needed.
PER SON ALLY IN VESTIG ATE.
The voters of Montour county have
three weeks in which to make up their
minds concerning the personality and
the opinions of the various candidates
who seek their suffrages, as well as
the other important matters awaiting
decision. They should take the time
to personally investigate candidates
1 and principles.
Will Help Postal Clerks.
Postal employes are elated over the
news from Washington that the pest
office committee has reported favor
ably on the bill increasing salaries and
reading all post offiice employes. If
the measure is finally passed it will
ensure clerks of annual promotion un
til the maximum pay is reached.
