SIUUY Or MUSIC.
The Beginner Should Have . Capable
Musician as Teacher.

In one of her works Miss MULCH gives
the following excellent advice on the study
of music: If music is studied at all, 1t
ought to be studied thoroughly and from
the very first Parents are apt to think
that anybody can teach child, and that
any sort of piano is good enough for a
child to practice on. No mistake can be
more fatal A child who is fit to be taught
at all should be taught by a capable mu
sician, with intelligence enough to make
the groundwork not merely superficial.
but solid, and not only solid, but interest
ing A great deal of the preliminary study
of music is not at all interesting unless
tho teacher thoroughly understands and
takes the trouble to make the child under.
stand the infinite and complicated beauty
of the scheme of harmony in opposition to
the dizziness of mere stunning.
Then the little soul, should there be
musical soul, will soon wake up, will com
prehend the why and the wherefore of the
most wearisomc of scales and the hardest
of exercises and conceive an ambition not
merely to play piece" bat to become Il
true musician. And here let me enter IA
passionate and indignant protest against
the habit which i'll conditioned guests in
dulge in and weak hostcsses permit OF
talking during music-a solecisIn in good
manners and good feelings which, when
ever it is found, either in public or in pri
vate, should be put stop to, firmly and
remorselessly.
If people do not like music, they need
not listen to it. They can go away But
any person who finds himself at a concert
or In a drawing room where music is go
ing on and does not pay it the respect of
silenoe-total silonce-is to be severely
reprimanded. And whatsoever, in any pub
lie room, sits by and does not demonstrate
against such behavior, or in IA private
room connives at and submits to it, is
let me put it in the mildest form-a very
weakminded and cowardly person.

A DANGEROUS SPORT.
Hunting tho Ferocious Wild Wolf In Rus
STA In Midwinter.

Count des Garets, a granddaughter OF La
fayette, who has hunted in the ROCKIES,
told something about rs 'avorite sport CT
wolf hunting for which he has become
famous in Russia. Wolf hunting" he
said, lis probably the most dangerous
sport there is. With servant and cou-
Pile of fast horses attached to sleigh l
have gone out and baited the ground for
the brutes on numerous occasions.
"A fat hog tied to a tree never failed to
collect pack. The trouble was that it
drew too many. The wolves would gather
to the number of 200 or 300 and devour
the pig. Then we could dash upon the
scene, and the fun would commence. They
are as fleet as a deer. To say that they are
as fleet as wolves would be more like 1t.
They can outrun the horses every time,
and if they are not picked off as fast as
they come up you might as well give up
the fight and permit yourself to be de-
voured. Imagine yourself making run
ming fight with a band of 800 hungry,
maddened wolves, and with the knowledge
that if one of the fleet little brutes reaches
your horses you are dead man, and you
can possibly imagine what nervy sport
it is. 1t requires a cool head and good
eye. If you miss your mark, you re gone.
Your only chance of safety is in keeping
your horses up. 1t is generally long
fight. You look back and see the car
casses of the animals dotting the snow for
II mile or two in your wake, and still they
pursue you in great numbers Slowly the
pack thins out. Many have dropped bleed
ing to the ground. Others stop to deyour
the carcasses. Tho more that fall the
more timid the rest become. When you
finally outdstance the pack, you have
been through the most trying ordeal that
tho most ardent sportsman could wish.
Yes, 1 consider wolf hunting the most
dangerous sport there is. Tiger hunting
In India is tame beside it. If you 60 into
the jungles of India to shoot tiger, you
are accompanied by long retinue. You
shoot your prey from the howdah of an
elephant. Ii you miss your victim, there
are 20 bullets ready for him before he
springs. A person might as we'll go tiger
hunting in menagerie. The only unsat-
isfactory part of the sport which wolves
afford is that after you are all through you
haven't anything to show for your efforts.
But it is great sport. boston Trans
