Write on a piece of paper the numâ€" WEST MONTROSE. by When Patti was in the first beyday of her fame, Ludwig II, the mad king of Bavaria, set his heart on baving ber sing for him at his private auditoriam in Munich. He wrote letter after letter, begging, imploring, offering extravaâ€" gant sums of money, but Patti resolute ly refused to go. She had heard too wany stories of Ladwig‘s freaks, his curses and his unreasonable commands, and she was desperately afraid of him. But at last the king offered her a sum so enormous that it seemed ridiculous to refuse it. Then the singer plucked up courage and started for Munich. When she and her maid alighted at the staâ€" tion, not even a carriage was there to meet them, and they bad to inquire the name of the best hotel and call a cab like any ordinary travelers ‘That was the first shock to the diva‘s nerves and temper. After luncheon she started out to see the town and Ancidentally to examine the posters announcing the great houor conferred upon the citizens uf Munich by a visit from Europe‘s greatest singer. Not a mention of hber name could she find in the town. She rushed back to the hotel and told her maid to pack the trunks. Just at that moment a resplendent officer was announced. He saluted her and delivered a letter from the king ‘The letter stated curtly that his majesty would await her at 7 o‘clock precisely in the Royal palace, where his singer in ordinary, Mme. Fischer, would give bet further directions. Mme. Fischer would also sing with Mme. Pattl the duets which bis majesty wished to hear. A programme was inclosed. Patti burst into tears of rage. "I have never been treated so bruâ€" tally,‘* sbe said. *‘I shall leave at once. Tell the king so. I will not singâ€"never, pever. never|‘‘ Theofficer pleaded with the irate prima donna. She must not disappoint the king. His majesty had been wild with excitement ever since he knew she would come and had not slept for three nights, so great was his joy at the prospect of hearing her. _ *‘Besides,‘"" added the officer, *"you know our king isâ€"isâ€"is=â€"" _ _ "Crazy, ‘‘ snapped Patti. ‘‘Yee, that‘s very comforting, isn‘t it? Idon‘t know why I ever came."‘ Just then she caught sight of a postscript she had not read. "‘The king commands Mime. Patti to appear in pure white, without any color whatever, and not by any means to wear a satin gown, but soft wool Silk is painfal to his majesty." "Red !*‘ groaned the officer. *‘Oh, no, nol Red sends his majesty into fits. If you appear in red, ho will scream and have convulsicns Oh, do be patient, madame! I will bring Mine. Fischer to you. She understands the king‘s nerves. She will explain." "His majesty will have to be pained. 1 bave no white woolen gown except my peignoir. Go tell the king I shall wear red velvet." Ho fled from the room, and, shortly after, Mimne. Fiscber appeared upon the scene. _ She soothed Patti into good humor and also attacked the wliite wool peignoir and transformed it into a most becoming Grcek robe. Before 7 the royal carriagearrived at the hotel and Patti went to the palace She was led through dimly lighted rooms and corridors into Ladwig‘s priâ€" vate theater, which was in utter darkâ€" ness save for the moonlight that entered through the windows. Patti stood upon the dark stage, while an orchestra, somewbere out of sight, began a soft prelude. Through the gloom she could just make out a white face in the royal box opposite the stage. Not another anâ€" ditor was in the great hall The whole thing was most uncanny, and Patti felt cold shivers creeping over her. She shook with nervousness and fear, and when she sbhould have begun her aria mot a sound could she make. She openâ€" ed her mouth, but her throat was paraâ€" lyzed from nervous terror. There was a pause. The king sprang up and leaned forward out of the box, his white face gleaming in the moonlight. The violins repeated the prelude. Patti gathered herself together and made one heroic effort. Her voice rang out into the great empty place, and the king sank back into the dark box. Patti, though badly scared, made the effort of her life and finished the nria from "La Traviata®‘ trinmphantly and stcod fAushed with victory. Dead siâ€" lence. Nota sound came from the gloom before her. She went off the stage in a temper. His majesty might have given some sign of approbation. Mme. Fischer was behind the scenes, and Patti waitâ€" ed with her for the signal to sing the next nuimber. A messenger appeared at the door. His majesty had bhad enough masic nnd had gone to his nparturents For a moment Patti stood stunned. Then she laughed The rudeness was so colossal that it was funny. . Mme Fischer took the diva to supper and then home Tho next morning Mme. Fischer called at the hotel once more, accompanied by the court chamberlain, who bore the promised check,. an autograph letter of thanks from the king and some jewels of great valne. Mine. Fischer‘sexplanaâ€" tion of the concert fiasco pleased Patti more than the jewels King Ludwig. she said. was in one of his maddest moods, wild with regret, cursing himâ€" self and cursing Patti He bad walked the floor all night, groaning that be was a traitor, for Patti‘s voice had sc rnvished his senses that for one moâ€" ment he had gone over to Italian music and bad been false to Wagnerâ€"to Wagâ€" mer, the one mudician who alone had satisfied his majesty‘s soul. e MHow Genius Sueceeds, Our paternal relatives don‘t know it all Riley‘s father wanted to make a lawyer out of him ; it was thought that Bret Harte would make a first class carpenter ; it was Mr. Gilder‘s idea that they wanted him to be a job printer; Hamlin Garland started as a farmer and is still a farmer, but makes enough out of literaturs to keep the farm goâ€" ing.

In almost any case when once pus has {v med beneath the perios teum more or less of the bone will die, leaving the end of the finger crippled or disfigured by a deep.scar. When the treatment is begun very early, it is sometimes possible to cut short the inflammation by cold cloths applied continuously to the inflamed part.

If the inflammation does not rapidly subside under this treatment, we must reverso it and try to bring matters to a head by means of poultices or wet cloths applied as hot as they can be borne and changed very often.

Extensive Repairs May Be Made For Very Little Money. A sign banging in front of a shoe maker‘s shop where secondband shoes were sold had upon it these words "‘Secondband Shoes With New Uppers.‘ It seemed almost as though a pair of secondhand shoes with new uppers would be practically new shoes, but inâ€" quiry showed that this impression was not warranted by the facts. There is a good deal of fresh material in a pair of shoes thus repaired, but there is also left a good deal of the old. The new upper thus put in is a new vamp, the front part of the upper. The old counter, or back part of the shoe, still remains. It is a familiar fact that while the counter may break down or wear out or get a hole in it somehow it is much more likely to stay sound and good. It is the front that cracks and breaks. And so in putting secondhand shoes in order new vamps are some: times put in But while such a shoe, which had also been soled and heeled, might easily be described as having unâ€" dergone extensive repairs it would still be far from wholly new. There would rem@in, besides the old counter, the shank and the inner sole and the genâ€" eral shape and framework of the shoe, and upom these the rcpairs could be made. Secondhand shoes bring various prices, depending on their original quality and their condition. A pair of secondhand shoes, resoled and rehecled and with new uppers, can be bought for as little as a dollar. . The Madrid Museum. After the social side of life in the Spanish capital has lost some of its novâ€" elty there are always the collections to seo an4 admire And, after all, the crowning glory of the place is the Museo del Prado, which, if not the finest in Europe, at least ranks with the Louvre and the galleries of Dresden and Flor ence, says a correspondent in the Chiâ€" cago Record. The gallery is especially rich in portraits of the great kings of Spain, and its chief treasures are the works of Diego Valasquez, some 60 in number â€" The light of the gallery itself is perhaps poor, but the charm of being able to walk undisturbed and never crowded amid this marvelous collection ‘of works by the masters is enough of itâ€" self to repay a visit to Spain.
