history Of art, an artist to his finger
tips, vain as woman, whimsical as a
child, gifted as one Of the sons OF
light" Although he no longer affects
the long black hair and beard which
once concealed his cOuntenance and
made him look like a Will H. Bradley
illustration to Stephen Crane poem,
there is no installing the Russian
pianist's vocation. He wears his hair
brushed straight back now, very much
la Toby Rex. and his heavy body and
broad, powerful shoulders look queer
enough on the absurdly short legs
which tOddle them about. His feet
are small and he is very vain Of them.
"But then" remarked the Pachmann
pupil, "he is 'ain Of everything; he is
the vainest man l ever knew, and
when was with him was almost as
vain Of him as he was Of himself One

numbers, one noticed first his unex-
pectedness. He does not deign to play
number as you have heard 1T before.
He has technique full OF tricks and
wonderful feats Of skill, full Of tanta.
lizing pauses and willful subordina-
tions and smothered notes cut short
SO suddenly that he seems to have
drawn them back into his fingers
again. In his thin and Learded days
he looked like wizard Of the Slengal
type, and even now is not unlike the
portly, comfortable magic;ans of the
Eastern fairy tales. The magician re.
semblance keeps occurring to one as
he plays. He Is very much Of a trick.
ster, In spite Of that fiery quality, that
temperamental intensity. But it is
an intellectual variety Of trickery, a
sort Of impassiOned slight of hand.
There Is indeed kind Of bravado
about the astonishing liberty he per.
mits himself in the matter OF phras-
Ing, and when he did something par
ticularly startling he would look
down at his pupil and screw up his
brows and wrinkle his nose and wink
slyly with one of his little Tartar eyes,
very much as Jack HOrner must have
done when he pulled out the plum and
said. "What a great boy am l."
1t was not until he began playing
the third prelude Of Chopin that the
Pachmann pupil utterly collapsed and
murmured, "rhe tOne-the singing
tone! His own toner And singing
tones they were; living things that
lived a glorious instant of life and \
died under his fingers, "tremblng,
passed In music out Of sight" The
Pachmann pupil assured me that no
one else had ever been able to produce
tone just like that, AID he remark
ed that that peculiar bird like tone
would die with Vladimir de Pach-
mann, and then he told me a funny
story Of this quaint Russian egOtist.

American tour. he was playing the

whom seem to think they are the whole
thing and deliberately put aside the
interests of their constituents to avenge

No machine has yet taken the place of

grades of wooden cloths. In this coun-
try they are grown only in Onondaga
county, in New York state, though a
few have been raised in Oregon.
Teasles require soil of clay and lime
in certain proportions so that their tips
shall be sharper than steel. Such soil
is found in Marcellus and Skaneateles,
where they have been staple produc-
ton for so years. Teasles are also
grown in England and France. The
American product is sitter than the
English, softer than the French When
the foreign crop fails the American is
