The Parrot as a Teaze.

A LADY on Seneca street is the own

having herself like a good lady-bird
should, she gives vent TO some terri
BILE shrieks and endeavors To be as
bad rs she possibly can. When she
takes these spells the dog, knowing
that reprimand is needed, goes TO the
cage and administers several severe re.
Dukes in the shape of savage little
bark. Yesterday afternoon Poll sat
upon her perch with all the dignity pos
sible The dog was taking nap in an
adjoining room. suddenly, without q
moments notice, Poll let loose two or
three unearlhly screeches. The dog
was awakened, of course, and imme-
diately started toward the cage at a
full run, barking as he went After
he had scolded, as he thought enough,
he adjourned TO the oth@r room and
snuggled himself for another snoOze.
He had no more than closed his ewes
before Poll shrieked again, longer and
louder than before. Up jumped the
dog. aud out he went barking furious

who had stopped her noise TO give the
dog a chance, hogan to bark just as

holy horror. He stood looking at the
cage for several minutes. Finally his
tail dropped between his legs, and he
turned around and left the spot, just
as he was going out OF the room, Poll

On the title page ~A learn that the
chlldren's symphony was written at
Berchtolds-gaden, a small Bavarian
town situated near Salzburg Mozarl's
home--in part OF Germany where peo-
pie make many toys and musical in
struments for children, II requires no
great strength Of Imagination to see the
guod.natured composer in attendance
at some iicighhotiug fair4 trudging
about with basket, collecting sush
playthings as would be Of use in his
symphony, or to picture him going
from shop 10 shop trying the little toys,
a1s electing those available for his
unique purpose. Having secured his
mimic orchestra and studied The com
pass Snd character OF the instruments
he had bought, HAYDN sat down and
composed the amusing symphony. One
peculiar feature of the composition Il
the absence Of slow movement.
Father Haydn knew well that the little
performers for whom he probably wrote
would be too restless for an adagio, and
therefore omitted il.
To perform either Of the tov sympho-
nes with proper effect, the parts ought
TO be undertaken by children, and, as
sometimes in Germany, by grown per-
sons gaudily dressed up rs children.
The great difficulty in the way OF an
adequate performance Is To secure
boys aud girls who are not 'gigglers. -
Musical skin is not absolutely neces-
sary, although, of course, experienced
musicians learn the piece quicker and
play il SAFER Performances of toy
symphonies, rs is easily imagined, give
untold pleasure TO the children and TO
all true lovers OF children. When intro
duced at festivals and parties they never
fail TO please. London GLOBE.

HAYDN, as has often been said, loved
children, and TO please them was per-
toctly in accordance with his gentle and
childlike disposition. Likely enough
the Prince, nis patron, pned for nov
city, and the court musician took this
means of gratifying the Royal desire.
Or il Is possible that the Little Moor, -
rs Prince Esterhazy dubbed him, dimly
recalled the days Of his childhood. when
in the seolusion Of his home he used to
accompany the simple melodies of his
motber with pieces OF wood in his
hands. one for violin and the other
for bow. Those days Haydn never
forgot, and often in atIer-life the musi-
clan, covered with glory, delighted 10

member in the bright hours Of his
youth,
