STORY OF MUSIC.
The Prevalent System of Musical Instruc-
ton Considered Erroneous

Musical study, OF sort, beng almost
as general as study of the three Rs, it
must be said that the gross forms of
Ignorance are utterly inexcuSable: but if
this is obvious, it is even more obvious
that there is something radically wrong
with she prevalent system of musical in
srucdon. 1t is because Of this plentiful
lack OF knowledge that so much that is
written on music is without me auing, and
that the most foolish kind OF rhaposdy,
so 1t shows a coliocation of fine words, is
permitted to masquerade as musical
criticism and analysis. People like to
read about music, and a hddhng English
parsan has sold thousands of copies of two
books filled with the very kind of literary
| stuff that | have just characterized, He
has a multitudinous companionship,
moreover, among essayists, noveIists, and
poets, whose safety lies In fantastic gen
eralization when they wish to talk of
music. How they founder when they
| come to detail! It was Charles Lamb who
said, in his Chapter on Ears that in
voices he could not distinguish a soprano
from = tenor, and could only centrive to
guess at tie 'thorougn-bass' from its be-
ing "supeTeminently harsh and dis
agreeable" = yet dear old Ella may be for
given, since his faux pas merely gives en-
| phasis TO This confession of ignorance in
| music. But what shall the critics say to the
! Poet-Daureate's orchestra, consisting of a
"aute, violin, and bassoon p Or to Cole
ridges loud bassoon' which made the
| wedding guest to beat his breast? Or to
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stoves pianist who
| played with an ''airy and hird-like
touch?' Or to our own clever painter
novelist, who made Brushes take out his
violincello and play Baethoven's sympho
MES for the entertainment of the party
that went ''Snubbin' through Jersey p
How did it come that Thackeray, who
loved music, and knew sthat which was
current in the concert rooms of his day,
| should credit Beethoven with having com
| posed Dream of st. JEROME" which
| the king OF novelists says always soothed
| him and charmed him SO that he fancied
! it was poem of T5nnysen's in music?
Alas! these things and all those which
! Mr.. G. Sutherland Edwards has catalogupd
In an essay on The Literary Maltreai-
ment Of Music" are but evidences that
| even cultured people have not learned to
! talk correctly about the art which they
practice most. There is a greater need
than pianoforte teachers and singing
teachers, and that is class of writer's and
takers who will teach the public how to
listen to music SO Chat it will not pass be-
fore the senses like vast tonal phantas,
magoria, but will give the varied and no
bic pleasure contemplated by its cornpos-
ers. H. Il. Kiehbiei in Harper s
Weekly.

the igloos. or winter stone buts, were
not far from the summer tupihs. They
were Quilt upon the hillside portion of
which is dug out from the interior. The
domed roofs were made of large pieces of
fat sand stone, carefully arranged and
held in place by pieces of bone. These
protruded somewhat into the hut, and
were utilized as hooks upon which hung
harpoon lines, pouches Of seal and bird
skin, skin drinking-cups, bone drills etc.
At the back Of the hut was platform
raised about foot from the floor. Oppo-
site this, which served as the bed, was the
opening Of tunnel six or eight feet long
through which the family must crawl to
enter their abode; and here the dogs find
shelter during the storms of winter. The
tunnel slopes down from the floor, so that
water from the melting SHOWS of sprin z
may not run into the house. Over the
inner entrance of the tunnel, about four
feet square, is another opening Of about
the same dimensions, which allows light
to enter the dwelling. THIS hole is closed

of reproches and tears. Among the other
things she said: You might grow to be
pig as Goliath; as strong as Samson,
and as wise as Solomon. You might be-
come ruler of a nation, or emperor of
many nations, and the world might revere
you and fear you, but to Jour devoted

part of gross world by contact with it,
