amateurs have permitted their lofty ambition

actors employ mouth harmonious In their per-
formances. and to this fact may be credited very

from 1t may be mainly attributed to him. The
jew sharp does not pass unnoticed. Anybody
who can whistle a tune can play on 1t. and the
unmuscal have something at least that they
possess mastery over. A common sight in the
lower parts Of the city during the heated term
was couples dancing on the sidewalk to
the music of an accordion, wrung forth
perhaps by player sitting on the hind end of
truck in his shirt-seeves. The accordion can
be played by ear, and this fact contributes to its
popularity among certain classes. There are
two kinds Of accordions-the German and
French. The former plays when it IS drawn out
and the latter when 1t is pressed in. The Ger
man accordion is the most popular. 1t used to
be very inferior instrument, but has been
greatly improved. The mouth harmonica and
the accordion will probably remain the chief in
struments of the humber classes.
The reason most amateurs never attain pro-
ficiency is that they try to pick up a knowledge
OF instruments and music, If they have talent
they may learn with instruction, but if not, years
of practice will not make them proficient.
