must iali back to Emperor William
His "Song TO Aegir" which was recent
" produced in Berlin, was the outgroWth
OF announcement at the way In winch
the first born national air was received
Did Emperor Wilhelm imagine for a
momsu, that the critics would come out
next morning sad say The young man
who wishes 20 change she national air
for that Wretched composition should
soak his head" or "Hhe new sonR Is
rot?" And stiil critics say such things
AT any rate she national air was dutl-
fully bought and trilled by every crack
tone piano in Germany, and by every
soldier and citizen who had voice or
as much a one as the Emperor has
musical talent. The "SOng 70 Aeglr,
his latest attempt. was performed at
the Opera House for the benefit OF the
EMPEROR William Memorial Church.
The piece was given by an orchestra
of $50 pieces aud 200 men ana boy
singers.
Society, OF course, was present en-
nasse, and the vivaS ead braves which
rang out we're enough TO make the
young Emperor imagine be was Wag-
per at the least And then after an
entertainment at the palace when he
PLAYED portions OF his composition to
privileged ears, he retired on his
Iaurels. Aud Augusta Victoria went TO
bad with her head full OF music, think
ing what 4 lucky woman she was, to be
the wife of such very wonderful man.
The Emperor's favorite instrument is
the clarionet, and be also plays the
piano, but OWING 10 his infrm left arm
can do little beyond simple accomDani-
meuts.
Another famous composer was the
otherwise stupid and lazy Louis Nv.
Ii was he who wrote the dainty
Amaryllis minuat which Vatican shep-
herds aud shepherdnesSes probably
danced with mincing steps and flower
scattered gowns. 1t had been said that
the music must have been written by
the shrewd aud clever Pomadour, whose
husband was . musician and who before
her day, as favorite Of the corrupt
rourt. was n street singer. But Louis
did not loose the brains inherited from
his extraordinary father until the
POmpadoUr's hYpnotlsm made him a.
most an imbecile, so it Is still possible
that ha wrote the dainty measures
when be was young and life seemed ali
one tripping mInuet.
Carmen Sylvia, the Queen Of Rou-
mania, is, OF course, the first Of sover-
eigp writer's. Her personality may be
eccentric aud impractical, but her
tales are pretty, sweet aud wholesome.
AT seaside place where she spent the
warm months two years ago, she made
friends of & number of children. At
the end Of the season she had them
write their names 10 her album and sent
each one who did fairy story ia
white and blue cover, written by her
self.
AIbani, on recent visit to Berlin, re-
marked that the Emperor was most
appreciative listener, but that Prince
Henry Of Battenberg was a remarkably
gifted musician. he plays well and
sings exQuisitely.
The Queen Of Holland ls fond Of
writing stories. and has filed volume
with the tales which Ishe has made up
for the edi6cation OF her well beloved
dolls.
The Pope is never so happy as when
composing Latin poems. He has writ
ten a great many, and possibly after his
death they will be gathered into a book.
The last one was 10 his friend, Cesar
Cantu, an Italian historian, on the &C.
casion OF his ninetieth birthday, Ia
which the writer compares bis hero 10
the setting sun.
