whether the American people are re-

THE sEcox2 MOZART.
A Three-year-oid Musfcsf ~
at the Spanish Court.

at the Spanish Court.
A little 3-year-old, already dubbed
'the second Mozart" is now entertain
er in chief of the court Of Spain. The
young pianist is named Pepito Ariola,
and, so far as may be told from all-rec
ords, his prececity far surpasses, that
of Mozart himself.
A fact made much Of by Spanish
newspapers would seem to indicate
that the 3-year-old Is a natural phe-
nomenon as well as a musical prodigy.
Pepito can play octaves. How he does
II nobody knows who has not seen him.
Music entranced the little one from
the time that his senses frst responded
to sound, and his hands no sooner
learned to grasp and hold than they
began to coax melodies from the piano
with an incomprehensible witchery.
His understanding OF harmony seemed
to have been inborn.
Pepito's home is in Madrid, and tales
of his prowess came to the court. The
young king said that he wished to hear
Pepito play. and the queen mother de-
clared that fete should be prepared
In the small musicians honor. thereby
assuming that Pepito's digestion was
as marvellous as bis baby hands.
Pepito was accordingly invited to ap-
pear before q royal audience and came
to the palace. He played his entire
repertory with mastery Of his instru-
ment lacking In many mature artists.
The royal auditors were captivated by
the performance and likewise by the
performer, for Pepito is a beautiful
black eyed baby, with the charming In
nocence Of Murillo child.
He was petted and kissed and ad-
mired and fed with bonbOns and sug-
ary cakes and wonderful little tarts
till he forgot his dignity as musician.
"Play once more, Pepito," they beg.
ged, and the amiable Peplto complied.
But as he jumped down from the high
stool he so sadly tore and disarranged
his stiff little skirt that 1t all but fell
off.
Frightful CONSERVATION was expert
enced by Pepito's family at this breach
OF court decorum, but the queen moth
er came to the rescue, smiling, and re-
adjusted the second Mozart's skirt be-
fore he knew what was the Natter

birds come" said Cyrus Brown on the
evening of Dec. 13, 1899, "burn match
under my nose and stick a needle in
my arms. | want to be out In the
woods by the time the sap gets to run
ming"
Mr.. Brown is known locally as the
"woodchuck man." so called because
he has slept continuously through the
winter months for the past IL years,
beginning his long nap before the mid
die Of December and coming out about
March 20. He is nearly 20 years old.
and until he was hit in the head by
falling limb while working in the
woods In the winter of 1888 he had
been a very robust man. He was fell
ing logs on a lot some distance from
camp and when he did not come in to
supper men went out and found him
lying senseless under fallen limb with
a scalp wound on the top Of his head.
After lying in a cOmatose condition
for three days he was wrapped in
warm blankets and put in a hogshead
filed with straw to be carried 80 miles
to the nearest railroad station. Every
body expected that he would be dead
when he reached home. but there was
no apparent change in his condition
He remained in a deathlike sleep al
winter. About once week be took II
half pint Of brandy and four raw egg
and then fell asleep again as II II was
the only thing for him to do The doc
tors who visited him tried many ex
perlments In the hope OF waking him
up. but without any success.
Meantime his body had turned to a
chalky white color. and his tempera
ture had fallen to near the freezing
point. one doctor who had come on
from New brunswick to see him told
his family that he was dead beyond
question and that this faint agitation
that could be felt over his heart was
no more than n reflex action Of the
muscles. 4 collin was ordered. and
the burial robes were made ready
when his body heat began to go up. 1t
rose two or three degrees during the
day and fell back q degree or less In
the night: but. though the gain was
small. II was In the right direction. so
the family postponed the funeral.
After the animal heat In bis body
had reached 20 degrees pulsations were
felt In his wrists. and his chest rose
and fell from IL to 10 times an hour.
indicating that respiration had set In.
The coffin was put out Of sight and on
March 81 the sick man opened his eyes
and called for food. He ate hearty
meal. slept three days longer and then
got up and went about his work as If
nothing had happened. Every year
since. then he bas dropped off to sleep
at the beginning Of settled cold wealth
er and has not awakened until the ear
ly spring birds come north. In the
warm weather he seems as active and
vigorous as he ever was. although his
memory has failed Of late, and at times
he complains of headaches. The doc
tors give no name to the malady, but
say that 1t Is due to a torpid condition
Of the body which Is allied to the hi-
bernation Of animals. For want OF q
better title the people have named him
the WOodcluck man..
