The next selection was MOzarts
Have Mercy, 0 Lord" There is a
strain in this mass which is very soft
and very slow, and very difficult, the
time being somewhat broken in places,
bat there was not a mistake made in
the rendering of it. Their voices rose
in exultant strains, away up to a at
ural, in Il Have Said Thou Art My
God" swelling with a confidence of
tone which, indicated their knowledge
of music if not their piety.
The Easter mass is Handel's Mag
niticat" and "Nunc Dimittis." and an
anthem by the same composer, besides
MendclssOhn'S arrangement of Psalms

Then came the creed: Il Acknowl-

the Resurrection of the Dead, in an
geIic notes. 1t was in MendelssOhn's
TweDty-secOnd Psalm in q minor that
the second trebles first made them
selves heard. Their voices are very
sweet, but the choirmaster informed

reason he was compelled to substitute
mems voices for the alto parts. Many
people object to this" he said, be
cause the quality of the voice is differ
ent. 1t is always a falsetto, and not at
all like the mellow tones of the genu-
inc second treble of a boys voice"
DO You have any trouble getting
the first trebles?"
Not much" he replied. Eve have
about sixteen boys. and only three Of
them are altos, but there are plenty
OF sopranos"
Il suppose they are all from New
York?"
oh. no; they come from Brooklyn
and Jersey City and the surrounding
owns"
After the rehearsal l talked to one OF
the boys, who is a soloiSt. You are
the boy who sang the solo in the Men
delssohn mass, are you not?N
Yes, ma'am," he answered quickly,
with u pleased smile.
What is our name?

And where do you live?"
No. 2.5 Mt. Pleasant venue New

Do You enjoy singing?"
YES. very much"
Il suppose You enjoy the money 1t

you?'
"Oh. yes, l buy all my clothes and

This little exercise IS the method
used by DR.. McSsiter, the Organist and
c~hoirmastcr of Trinity church, New
York, to Timber up the vocal chords OF
his young singers. The chOirmaster is
a genial gentleman who has held this
responsible position for nearly twenty
eight years. This long period in the
harness would have been sufficient to
wear out the nerves Of a man of less
ven temperament. But it does not
seem to have affected him, as is evil

evident that he has a great deal of in
fuence over them, and they seem very
fond of him.
When the exercise was finished to
his satisfaction the boys distributed
the books which contained the first
selection for'the following Sunday.
Remembering my early struggles
with such composers as L. o. Emerson
and c. a. White | was not a little sur
prised when one Of the choir boys, who
remembered his good manners, handed
me 4 copy Of Schubert's mass in E fiat.
These youngsters, ranging from ten to
fifteen years Of age, were going to at
tack the most difficult music with the
utmost c~omplacency. Perhaps if l had
been better acquainted with the Epis-
cOpal service | might not have beer SO
much surprised, but, never having had
an opportunity to become familiar
with it, l sat in Open-eyed wonder at
the ease with which they sang the
"Kyric," coming in in perfect time and
striking the accidentals with a clear
ness Of tone that vas refreshing.
once they struck a false note, and
the chOirmaster stopped them with:
"What's that nOtc?" and they sang it

I asked the choirmaster what was the
highest price paid for a boy soloist,
and he said some churches had paid as
much as N thousand dollars a year,
but that was unusual
I'VE had a boy once who came into
the choir at a salary of sixty dollars a
year. We didn't notice anything re-
narkable about his voice. His mother
was q poo woman, who washed the
boys sUrplices, and we took him TO help
her more than for any other reason.
One day the second soloist was absent
and we were at a loss for some one to
put in his place. Ollie Hull, our washer
wOman's boy, had shown considerable
readiness in reading notes, 50 we let
him try it. At first be sang rather
timidly, but as he gained confidence l
noticed a stir among the men of the
choir, as they leaned forward to listen,
while his mellow voice rang out fuller
and clearer at every note. His per-
Torrance the following Sunday decided
his career as a choir boy, and he was

engaged as leading soloist at q salary
of five hundred dollars a year.
"What do you do with your recruits?
Do you not have trouble teaching them
to read notes?"
Boys learn music more rapidly than
men. They take it just as they do
their arithmetic. Some learn more
rapidly than others. When they first
come we put them into the preparatory
class, where they ~arettaught the rudi-
ments and learn to sing by note. The
more rapidly they learn the sooner
they are promoted to the paid choir"
you must have your patience sore
.ly tried by their pranks."
"Oh, yes, the boys are mischievous,
but when they are paid for it they IN
derstand that it is q regular business,
and it is not hard to manage them"
"About how long is the career of a
choir boy?"
-Four or five years. We seldom take
them younger than ten, and they usual
ly sing until they are fifteen. l had
n boy who sang eight years and only
gave up at eighteen, but that is very
rare"
what proportion of them are able
to sing after their career as choir boys
is ended?"
"Well, that would be hard to say.
Some Of them sing we'll afterward and
some do not, but there seems to be no
connection. They generally sing a lit
tie, and are always able to read notes.
Some strain their voices while they
are young, but we are very careful
about that, for that spoils them for
choir boys as well as for singers when
they are grown up.
O the whole, the choir boys bust
ness is a very paying one for a boy.

they moved further and further away,
