THE ARTIST'S IDOL.
She Didn't Know Anything About Mu
sic; She Only Loved It.
The incident hiippened upon one of
the. great ocean liners during an au
tumn trip when a famous violinist was
among the passengers. At first he
firmly refused to play, but was finally
persuaded, and Mpon the appointed
evening the salon was crowded with
eager passengers.
It was a most enthusiastic audience,
Intelligent, sympnthetic and apprecia
tive, yet as the evening wore on people
began to notice that the violinist's
glance went always in one direction,
and after a time others followed it.
They saw a plain little woman, plain
ly dressed, with no marks of wealth or
culture. But she was looking at the
master with shining eyes, her face wet
witli tears, unmindful of everything
except the magic of his violin. When
the program was ended, pushing his
way through the people who would
have detained him, the musician went
straight to the little shabby figure.
"Madame, I congratulate you you
are ze great artist!" he cried.
She looked up at him almost in
alarm.
"I oh I cannot play a note," she
stammered. "I don't know anything
about music. I only love it." . -
The violinist shook his big shaggy
head impatiently.
"Is it not what 1 say? You have ze
artist soul ze artist to listen. What
good to play to ze deaf like ze rest?"
with a disparaging gesture towrard
the crowded room. "It is to ze one wiz
ze heart to listen zat we masters play."

AN OLD TIME EXPLOSION.
Its Curious Phases Told by a Seven
teenth Century Scribe. . .
An old chronicler tells a curious sto
ry of an explosion which occurred in
London Jan. 4, 1049. A ship chandler.
It seems, "about 7 of the clock at
night, being busy in his shop about
barreling up of gunpowder, it took fire
and in the twinkling of an eye blew
lip net only that, but all the houses
thereabout to the number of fifty or
Bixty. The number of persons destroy
ed by this blow could never be known,
for the next Tiouse but one was the
Rose tavern, a house never (at that
time of night) but full of company.
And in three or four days, after dig
ging, ' they continually found heads,
arms, legs, etc." The most interesting
part of the account comes further on:
"In the digging they found the mis
tress of the house of the Rose tavern
sitting in her bar and one of the dra w
ers standing by the bar's side, with a
pot In his hand, only stifled by dust
and smoke, their bodies being preserv
ed whole by means of great timbers
falling across one upon another.
"There was also found upon Jhe up
per leads of Barking church a young
Child lying in a cradle as newly laid in
bed, neither child nor cradle having
the least sign. of fire or other hurt. It
was never known whose child it was.
so that one of the parish kept it for a
memorial, for In the year 16G6 I saw
the child, grown to be then a proper
maiden." '
The Green Plover.
Every "man on the land" knows the
lapwing, or green plover, though he
may not know that this bird is one of
the very best friends of the farmer
and literally worth its weight in gold
several times. It takes its proper
name, lapwing, from the regular, slow
flapping of the long, rounded wings.
Because of its peculiar cry it is popu
larly known in England as the peewit
gd in Scotland as peesweep. The
(Germans call if klebifz. The French
say that it can count "eighteen" (eight
een in French is dixhuit, which Is pro
nounced deezeweet). The peewit is
found in every country in Europe and
Asia, in 2reat Britain it whs once
very common, being chiefly found in
marshes, moors and meadows, but its
numbers are gradually decreasing be
cause its eggs are collected and sold
as "plovers' eggs," for which there is
a large demand during the proper sea
sou. Smallholder.
The Hawaiian Language.
The language of Hawaii is very sim
pit. To oiip who hears It for the first
iiOie comes the conviction that the ab
origines expressed their sentiments ;n
primitive vowel sounds, to which some
consonants Have been added Kadi
vowel is sounded as in Latin, and the
words are easily pronounced by one
Who is patient and wishes to speak
distinctly. The pronunciation will be
all the better if the speaker will draw
out, almost drawl, the vowel sounds,
for which reason the language is weil
suited to the doleful Hawaiian wall.

Corn and Water.
To those engaged in the handling of
grain the natural shrinkage of shelled
corn while in storage and in transit is
a matter of prime importance and
ofteu a source of dispute because of
shortage reported at time of receipt
at warehouse and a further loss at
date of final sale. In order to deter
mine the amount of. shrinkage or loss,
of weight occurring in corn the de
partment of agriculture has condueted
an experiment , with 500 bushels of
shelled corn. At the time of storage
the moisture content was 18.8 per
cent and at close of the test 14.7 per
cent, or a loss of 4.1 per cent. The
weight per bushel had decreased from
54.7 pounds to 50 pounds, and the to
tal loss of weight was 1,970 pounds, or
slightly more than 7 per cent
