and Mme Marchesi, entered last week
intend to relinquish his duties so far as
private pupils are concerned, he pro-
poses to retire from the staff of the
Royal Academy of Music, London.
where he has been a professor of sing
ing for forty years. Signor Garcia is
still so hale and active that few can
realize his great age-that he is man
who had to leave Spain owing to the
Peninsular war, whose debut in New
York (when New York had only one
theatre) took place upwards of seventy
years ago, and who retired from the
stage as far back as 1929. He was born
four years before Haydn died, and eight
years before Verdi and Wagner were
, born.
Stories of Paderewski are always in
teresting. Corlitz, his manager. denies
the truth of Modjeski being responsible
by financial assistance for the first step
on the ladder of the virtuoso's great
success. So, too, did Modjeski's hus-
band, Count Bozenta, when he was in
Los Angeles the other day. Madame"
he said, merely took great interest
in her fellow countryman and incident
ally gave a recitation for his benefit. She
was only one of dozen others who en-
couraeed Paderewski and persuaded hi3i
to study under Leschetitsky." Here,
however. is another story of Paderew-
skis early days. Paderewski was q
struggling music teacher long before
any one discovered his talent. lie was
q. poor and in debt when the Princess
De Segin bade him attend her salon for
ia fee of $50 and play to her guests
Everyone was delighted with the shabby
young Pole and his magnificent tech
nique. But even in those bitter days
Faderewski would stand no patroniz-
ing. He had walked to the house, and
when the princess said to him a. he was
about to leave, You must allow me to
send you home in my carriage Pad
crewski replied: Madam, my carriage
is at the door" That evening was the
turning point in his fortunes

A Monkey as n Nurse.

There are not many mothers who would
fancy monkey as nurse for their babies;
yet the capacity for tenderness in these crea-
tures-surely the least understood by us of all
the brute creation-seems almost to warrant
the Darwinian theory that they have in then.
human elements. One of the most popular
passengers on board a Union steamer that
recently arrived at Southampton from South
Africa was large monkey who had beer

After the terrible explosion in johannesburg
one of the many ruined houses was found tc

cradle and in the cradle dead baby killed
by some falling debris. Its twin WAS alive
and wa. was being tenderly nursed in the arms
snatched it up out of the way of danger. II
will be remembered that a similar service
was rendered by monkey to scion of the
ducal house Of Lenster-the peril in that case
being from fire-and that the crest of the
family is borne as a token of their gratitude
to the brave animal. The. latest monkey
hero is evidently passionately fond of chill
dren, for he paid ceaseless attention to all
the babies on the boat. and was perfectly hap
