He could not 60 far in what he had to say, but

About the year 1926, witness in Welsh
case was examined before Mr.. Justice Allan
Park. His name was John Jones. He was
asked if he had always gone by that name, and
said he had. He was then asked whether, at
the time he lived at Carmsthen, he did not 60
by the name ofEvan Evans, and to this he re-
piled also in the affirmative. This apparent
discrepancy was explained to the Court by
Mr.. Taunton, afterwards Sir W. Taunton, and
q Judge Of the Court Of Queens Bench, who
stated that Evan is the Welsh synonym Of
John. and Evans that of Jones, and that John
Jones might be called indifferently Evan

TERESA CARRENo, THE YOUTHFUL PIANIST.
Teresa Carreuo is a little bit of dark-eyed,
beautiful, darling. South American child, only
eight years old, half dozen hands high, fond of
doll babies and miscellaneous romping, but with
Q musical genius which is at once point of
wonder and admiration. She is pianist with
little fingers but large brains, too short when
seated to reach the pedals with her feet, but tall
enough intellectually to reach the sentiment
and soul Of Music. Infant progidies are rare
Heaven be praised although every infant
is prodigy to its mother; and even the few
which are acknowledged simply evince an apt
itude for imitation, which is faculty rather
than talent. and promises but very little for
the future. But the dark.eyed little darling,
Teresa Carreno, fromiC Caracas, is no INSTRUCT
ed parrot, but thinking, feeling artist, who,
while she eiicits astonishment by her exesutive
power, raises astouishment to higher pitch
by the maturity of her style, by a peryadine
judgement. by her appreciation of light and
shade, proportion, and the nicer grades of rel
tive musical values, and lastly by sentiment
and expression which has come to her Heaven
only knows how. She is SO mere q child. so
necessarily ignorant Of all that constitutes an
artist, that We listen and wonder, and even
while We gaze upon the beautiful, childish face
we doubt the evidences Of our senses. She is
genius of the purest stamp, pearl of price
to be treasured and fostered to development
of the god-like powers with which nature has
80 richly endowed her. This is Teresa Carreno.
