"Door plates are going out of fash ion , " said a man whose business it is to make plates of all kinds. "Twenty years ago every man of prominence had his name graven upon a plate and that plate affixed to his front door , that all might know who dwelt with- in. The daily task of the negro house- I man was to rub the door plate until it , shone. It took the place of the lares I and penates of the Romans , and was attended to just as carefully as were the ancient household gods. "Everything is changed now , though. I suppose the reason is that people don't have homes as they used to. They simply live in houses and apart- ments and move around so much that a door plate couldn't possiby endure the peripatetic existence. A collection I of brass door plates screwed to the portal of a big apartment building would , I confess , look odd. " - Louis ville Courier-Journal. Xntnrally.

One of the most interesting charac ters in the musical life of Berlin is Rosalie Spohr , the harpist , who is a niece of the great violinist Louis Spohr , an exchange says. She made her first appearance In public on Dec. 13 , 1849 , at a concert given by Jennie Lind. She attracted attention first be cause of her distinguished musical de scent , but after the world had once heard her her art made her famous. There are few women before the pub- lic to-day who play the harp as vir- tuosi , although one sees them occasion ally in the opera orchestras. So It Is difficult nowadays to realize that Ro salia Spohr toured Europe in triumph. She found in Franz Liszt a devoted friend and enthusiastic admirer and he was proud to play with her at Wei mar as well as give her the benefit of his artistic advice. Her career as a public performer ended after about six years. Then she became the wife of Count Saurma and the stage knew her no more. She still lives in Berlin , more than 80 years old , but enthusias- tic in her de'votion to the instrument with which she won the triumphs of her brief professional career. For three hours every day she practices the harp , and her technique has for that reason remained very complete for one of her age. Her talent was in a measure her- editary , since her aunt was a well- known harpist in her day. It was through her playing that Rosalie Spohr , who . had begun her musical life as a pianist , turned her attention to the harp. A widow for more than twenty years , It has been her devotion to her art that made life interesting to her during all this time. Her education was sound , in the first place , for she studied for two years under the harpist Grimm , who allowed her to play in public at the end of that period , although It was one of his principles that : a harpist should study for ten years. Countess Rosalie has been an intimate friend of the German royal family , and both Friedrich and the empress were de lighted to hear her play. Nowadays she Is a unique figure in the musical and social life of Berlin and an in- spiration to the younger students , who see what a joy and consolation an art may be to one who has acquired it faithfully. SOME MARRIED MEDITATIONS. . By Clarence L. Cullen. Another dead-sure preliminary to a touch Is when she tells you that you are looking so tired around the eyes. The time used to be when only men called an evening of wild and hysteri- cal rummiferousness "having a good time. " Why is It that the woman who harps incessantly upon the incon stancy and the wiliness of men usually has a face like that of a perturbed sun perch ? - It makes a man feel pretty cheap when , after admiring some woman he meets in a company , his wife tells him that she wears a whole wig , and proves it. Why Is It that a woman will strive frantically for years to catch her hus band in a lie and then weep till her nose and eyes are all puffy and red when she finally succeeds ? When a woman Is extraordinarily careful to lock away her own letters aren't you filled with . a sort of in- voluntary suspicion that she'd read other people's letters if she got a chance ? Why Is It that , when a man sits still for ten minutes or so , probably thinking that he'd better get a hair. cut to-morrow , his wife makes up her mind that he Is dreaming of some other woman ? When the regular day arrives for her to have what she calls "a good cry , " why shouldn't she phone the in. formation to her husband , so thathe can stay down with the fellers and have a good laugh ? POLYGAMY IN UTAH. Thousands of Xevr CaACS ! , n Sn.lt Luke Gentile Xe\vsimi Suys. A little while ago , remarks the Salt Lake Tribune we printed a roster of men who are actually reputed , and doubtless correctly so , to have entered into new polygamous relations within recent ' recent in years , very years , deed , as compared with the date of the manifesto of 1S90. The Deseret News , referring to that list , apparent- ly accepted it as correct , and under- took tobelittle "the polygamy scare' by saying that if these vv-ere all who had gone into polygamy since 1890 the list was a matter of 110 great con- cern. cern.This This admission however , on the part of the church organ serves not to limit the number of new cases of polygamy , but as a foundation upon which reasonably to assume that po lygamy is alarmingly prevalent , for to every new polygamous case that comes to the notice of the nonmormons there are doubtless a hundred that the non mormons never hear anything about. It Is entirely safe , therefore , to say , as the Tribune has said heretofore that the new cases of polygamy are numbered by the hundreds ; perhaps It would be no great exaggeration ' to even say by the thousands. At all events , it is a sure thing that : there has been such a recrudescence of polygamy within recent years as could not have been dreamed of at any time between the outgiving of the manifesto and the conferring of etat bood upon Utah. i ' : . . 1 Fish Know the Weather. : "In their way , " said an old fisher- man , "fishes are good weather proph ets. If a storm Is approaching the fish stop biting and they won't bite again until the storm is well over. They appear to know when a storm is coming and when it has really passed. And to fishermen and farmers living along shore fish foretell the near ap proach of cold weather. Hours before it comes fishes leave the shallow wa- ters in shore and seek the deeper water , which in its depths will stay warm and keep an equable temper- ature after the shallower and surface waters have turned cold. Oh , yes , fish. es know a thing or two about the weather.-New York Press. WISHED DEATH MIGHT COME To Relieve tlie Awful SulTeriiis of Advanced Kidney : DlNCiiMe.
