A COMING MUSICAL GENIUS.

capable Of learning even the prin-
ciples, to pay the interest on the ma
tional debt, the sole result of all this
outlay being the fact that several hun
dreds of thousands Of young ladies are
thereby enabled to inflict an incredible
amount Of suffering on their fellow
creatures.
The young feminine piano specialist
Is at her best when playing by an open
window in summer time, or when en-
deavoring to entertain "a party OF
friends. In the latter case she appears
to great advantage. She has taken
instrumental lessons from Sig. Poun-
detti, and vocal instructions from Mile.
Piggisqueali, and naturally cherishes
the belief that what she does not know
about the piano and music In general
would not be worth anybody's time to
find out. A few friends have been in
vited in to hear her play. Among
them Is, Of course, one who fully appre-
ciates her numerous gifts and graces,
and this chosen swain turns the pages
for her, at the wrong place, with zeal
born of his appreciation. He Is charm
ed. So Is her mother. Her father does
not exactly see where the returns for
his investment come In, but not being
musical, holds his peace, and all the
company, who have been able to keep
awake, pronounce the playing simply
perfection, and tell about ether girls
who took lessons great deal longer
without being able to play nearly 50
well.
When the young lady, hswever, opens
her window on a cain summer even
ing In a crowded neiShbsrhood, her
sphere of usefulness greatly widens,
for instead of exhibiting her talents
before small and respectful audience,
she, In a metaphorical sense, allows her
light to shine before men. The feelings
of the neighbors do not, Of course, enter
into the question. They may want to
talk or to sleep, or to say their prayers,
or just to be let alone; 1t Is all one; she
is going to play, and to sing, too, II she
can, and that settles 1t. What she plays
or sings depends on her training. 1t

DESIGN FOR A CHURCH.
Suitable for Either Congregational
or Presbyterian Denomination.

Suitable for Either Congregational
or Presbyterian Denomination.
This design was prepared with a
view of erection on peculiar site In a
prosperous and growing country town,
site being somewhat long and narrow,
one corner of which rounded on to a
sharp point on the rear portion of the
church, and the peculiar layout of the
plan was deemed necessary to carry
out the problem and to suit the site.
The building Is unique In design and
finish, and successfully fills the de-
mand of the modern ecclesiastical
structure suited to the form Of Congre-
gational worship. The plan Is very
compact, and so arranged that by roll
ing venetian blinds to close the open
ings, the auditorium, or church proper,
and the chapel can be thrown together,
and the chapel and parlor, being con-
nected with sliding doors, can be thus
opened into and used as one; and the
kitchen in connection with parlor makes
a desirable feature, and one which can
not fail to be appreciated by all Congre-
gationalists.

three directions to place his neck in
perfect harmony with its surrounding
draperies, adjusts his instrument, plays
an imaginary scale or passage to assure
himself that his fingers are in perfect
condition, then, at his cue, raises his
eyes to the gallery in thrill Of inspira-
ton aud begins.
He Is often applauded, partly, 1t may
be, because the audience can not al
ways restrain its satisfaction at the
conclusion Of his performance, and
partly because body Of people assem-
bled for the purpose Of enjoying them
selves are willing to take the word
for the deed, and testify an apparent
satisfaction In order to make the artist
who has just been endeavoring to en-.
terrain them feel comfortable. But
there is one orchestral soloist who Is al.
ways rewarded with abundant hand
clippings, sometimes even to the ex-
tent Of an encore. This is the man who
plays the xylophone. 1t is always the
drummer, though why, is one Of those
musical mysteries which, like the ques-
ton, "Who wrote the last movement In
Mozart's ReQuiemT has never been
satisfactorily answered. The audience
always feels kindly towards the drum
mer. He furnishes more noise than any
other member Of the combination, and
makes the listeners feel not only that
they are getting the worth Of their
money, but also that he is earning his
wages. They see him working away
with all his might ut the big drum and
the little drum, and the cymbals and the
bells, and the triangle and the rattles,
and the things that make a bad imita-
ton of a darby dancing a shuttle, and
marvel at his manifold and varied tai
ents, but when he Is willing to work
overtime, and give them solo on an
instrument that Is q little worse than
a comb, or q little better than a barrel
head, they go into ecstacies, and never
fail to reward him abundantly.
But for ability to make people wish
they were somewhere else, the public
soloist does not In the least compare
with the individual Of the same species
In private life. The beginner on any
instrument Is always Of necessity a
soloist, and his capacity for infiicting
torture Is practically unlimited. There

pathos that, like bowling deg, NO mat

agony.
Very different, says the Globe Demo
crat, Is the common feeling with re-
gard to the piano. Some sympathy
may be felt for q clarionet In distress
or q violin that Is being imposed upon
by a merciless beginner, but no such
sentiments can be entertained In re-
gard to a piano, for all classes and
grades Of sufferers from soloism, If
such an expression is allowable, are In
hearty accord In the conviction that
a piano deserves all 1t gets simply be-
cause 1t is a piano. Yet, In spite OF the
fact that no instrument requires more
skill, judgment, and musical genius to
make tolerable, there is a prevalent
idea that It Is one of the easiest. There
are probably not more than hundred
persons now living who can properly
play on the piano, but there are, at a
low estimate, 100000 who think
they can and do not hesitate to try.
If each has within the range Of the in
strument's capacity ten hearers, the
result is that 1OO,OO0,OOO Of the human
race are made miserable during some
portion Of the twenty-four hours by
the strains Of the "Maiden's Prayer"
or some similar composition devised
especially for the purpose Of teaching
the human race the value Of patience
under tribulations. Then again, 1t Is

II II not often In orchestra work, how
ever, that one OF the band has an oppor-
tunity to distinguish himself by solo
performances. There are probably few
places, the stage and the church choir
excepted, where jealousles are 20 rife
az In the orchestra, and this being the
case. the obvious policy of the leader
IL to discourage any display OF indivld-
ual talent that would tend to increase
his own embarrassments. Besides, the
audience has paid its money for music
and lots Of II, and wants to see every
member of the orchestra working full
time. To the average theater-goer,
whose amount Of music that he keeps
stored away In his soul Is somewhat
limited, the idea Of one man adding or
blowing away with all his might, while
the other members of the orchestra SIT
by, giving only an occasional scrape, or
loot, or thump, seems unjust. 1t IL as
though one clerk were required to
wait on all the customers In the store,
or one member of street gang did all
the digging, while the other clerks or
diggers stood round with their hands
In their pockets. But occasionally, the
leader, to vary the programs a little,
gives the first violin or the c0rnet a
solo, and nothing is more 'exhilarating
than to witness the healthy apprecl.,-
ton of the opportunity by the soloist.
Once In a great while there Is found
solo player who, from his ordinary
place, will discourse sweet strains In a
modest style, without any apparent ef-
fort to attract attention, but In general,
the artist Of the occasion makes the
most of it. Rising from his seat as
conscious of his own superiority to :he

curiously unjust caprice, has associat-

The desire to be raised above the

Tested everywhere, and even In the

Of the display Of this sort Of ambition

The waiter who desires to be known

Of ambition that has moved more than

fore, that among musicians and actors
there should be rivalry Of the most
energetic kind, or that appearances In
solo parts in which the individual has
an opportunity to distinguish himself
above his fellows should be most
earnestly coveted. The player in an

Tbe Te,eprapher,s Ear.

The sense of hearing is developed In
the modern telegraph operator to an
abnormal degree owing to his use of
the typewriter In his work. In former
years, when he copied his messages
with pen or pencil, his ears were ac-
customed to only one kind Of sound
that Of the telegraph instrument-while
in these days Of the typewriter he must
distinguish between the sharp click of
the ticker and the almost similar rat
tie Of the copying machine. According
to an old operator, the sense of hearing
soon becomes so developed that the
distinction Is easily made. With lit
tie experience In the use Of the type
writer along with the telegraph instru-
ment, the operator ceases to notice any
similarity Of the sounds.-St. Louis

De CASERTA'S REQUEST.
Late King of Naples Left His Brothe
His Shadowy Title.

Late King of Naples Left His Brother
His ShadOwy Title.
The ex-King of Naples has left all
the claims to private fortunes in Italy
which he could dispose of by will to
Count de Caserta, his brother, and heir
to his shadowy title and throne. The
Paris correspondent of the London
Daily News writes: 1.-THE dowager ex-
Queen, however, Is to have a life inter-
est In this fortune, which includes the
Farnese palace, now rented to the
French Government for an embassy.
The sum of f35, 200 is left to the poor Of
Naples and Palermo, and a sum Of ESQ
to the poor Of the parish of the Madeline,
In Paris, In which the ex-King and
Queen lived since 1873. The Archduke
Rainer, brother-in-law, and a cousin of
the late Queen Maria Theresa, is execu-
tor to the will. There are souvenir be-
quests to members of the different
branches of the Bourbon family. The
Ncapolitan exiles here say that the
Count de Caserta will soon issue an ad-
dress to the people of Naples to remind
them of his rights and to protest
against the usurpation Of the house of
Savoy
"The Count and Countess de Caserta,
now calling themselves the King and
Queen of Naples, reside permanently
in France. They live" the correspond
,ent says, Gin a poorly furnished dat
there, and winter at Cannes, where
most of the Italian Bourbons have vii
las. AS the late ex-King and his wife
established the precedent Of never ac-
cepting invitations to dinner, the heirs
to their dignity will suffer greatly in
consequence. The hereditary Prince
Of Naples as the Neapolitan legiti-
mists now call the eldest son Of the
Count de Caserta, Is In Spain with his
second brother. They have been taken
up a good deal by the Infanta Isabella,
widow of their uncle, the Count de
Girgenti, and ex-Princess Of Asturias.
The hereditary Prince served with
valor, though not, perhaps, with discre.
ton, with the Spanish forces last sent
against the wild tribes Of Morocco"

dered In about the same style. There
Is no certain way Of suppressing her,
and the various methods that have been
tried are like some medical remedies,
more unpleasant than the disease. Hir-
ing a man to learn the trombone In the
house directly opposite has been known
to do good In some cases; employing a
chorus Of small boys to sing in front Of
her window has Its advantages, and
also, 1t may be added, Its drawbacks.
The most frequently successful plan
is providing her with a beau, and, by
popular subscription, furnishing him
enough money to take her out every
evening during the summer season. If
the neighbors are able to stand the
financial drain, this plan Is frequently
effective, for before the next season
she will likely marry the youth who 80
materially adds to her pleasure, and
drop her music instanter. But too much
care cannot be exercised in the selec-
ton Of beau for her, for II one should
be chosen who could sing, the chances
are that the twain would practice duets,
and so the last state Of that neighbor-
hood would be worse than the first
Then again, this plan has the disad-
vantage that 1t may entail on the resi-
dents In the block the necessity Of con-
tinuing it indefinitely, for the marriage
ability Of this species Of young female
Is by no means so pronounced as that
of her unaccomplished, but more prac.
teal, sisters who do not play the piano
or sing parodies on operate airs. So,
after all, it Is often safest to let her
run her course, like the measles or the
whooping cough, trusting to time to
effect cure.
AS promoter of inward profanity,
she occupies a proud pre-eminence to
which the hand-organ man, and the
man with an accordion, and the youth
with the mandolin, and the girl with a
guitar, may in vain aspire. None Of
them are at all despicable, and each in

Hiram 8. Maxim's nying-machine
made its first public appearance in
England recently. when 1t was exhib-
tied at Baldwyn's Park, Bexley. In aid
Of the funds of the Bexley Cottage
Hospital. Mr.. Maxim's experiments
have been SO far perfected on the basis
Of his observation that while small
birds. such as sparrows, are able to
move In any direction through the air,
1t Is quite impossible for very large
birds. such as the condor and some
other forms of vultures, to rise in the
air In q vertical direction. To use MI
Maxim's own words. these latter ''can
only rise by taking long run. and
then, springing into the air, work their
wings very vigorously for short time,
and raise themselves In the air at an
incline" I'm studying the question of
a fying-machine." says Mr.. Maxim, II
came to the conclusion that 1t would
have to raise itself after the manner of
the large birds; that is, 1t would have
to run along the earth until a certain
speed was attained, and then, as its
sails or aeroplanes were forced forward
on the air, the weight on the ground
would become less and less, until the
velocity would be great enough to raise
1t completely Off the earth, and, like the
condor, 1t would run up an incline in
stead Of directly up as the sparrow Is
able to do" The machine as 1t ap-
peared, standing on a short railway of
very wide gauge, presented curious
spectacle, says the Westminster
Budget.
On the platform which stood on the
rails was a peculiarly formed steam
engine, and from the platform sprang
q series Of what looked like very thick
wires, reaching up to and supporting
the great aeroplane which covered the
whole like an awning, while midway
appeared two huge propellers, the rapid
rotation Of which furnished the motive
power of the machine. When Mr..
