NO VIOLINs IN CREMONA.
Theory That the People Are Tired of
Hearing of Them.
". L. Alden, in Century Magazine.

w. l.. Alden, in Century Magazine
Being in Cremona. naturally went in
search Of violins. l had a vague idea that
L might pick up a Stradivarius, an Amau,
a Guarnerius, and perhaps other treasures
of the kind, for next to nothing, Ike those
fabulous persons who are said to pick up
invaluable furniture and priceless old books
for a mere music-hall song. OF course, 1
did not find any valuable violns, but, what
was still stranger, L did not see or hear
single violin the whole time / was in Gre
mona. In every Italian city there are
dozens of shops devoted TO the sale of mu-
steal instruments Of all sorts and, among
these violins of all sizes and conditions.
from the young soprano violin to the ven
cradle and equity contrabaSS, are exposed
in the windows. In Cremona, however,
there is not violin to be sold. and l am
persuaded that there is not one in the pos
session of a single Cremonese. At first |
could not understand this mystery. Neither
could / understand why no one to whom /
spoke seemed TO take the slightest interest
i'm the great violin makers of the town.
Baedeker asserts that the house of Antonio
StradivariuS is still to be seen, and / went
in search of it. j found only a vacant lot
where the house had stood, and l was in
formed by a policeman who looked at me
sternly and with evident suspicion, that
the house of Stradivarius had been torn
down. L asked him why so valuable relic
had been destroyed. and he replied by sug-
costing that if / would accompany him TO
the headquarters of the police / might pos
sibly receive an answer to my question.
Il
asked no more questions of the Cremona
police. From what l afterwards learned
in conversation with several of the leading
pOrterS and Street-sweepers or the place,
came to the conclusion that the people of
Cremona had for so many weary years
been asked by strangers concerning the
Cremona violins and their makers that in
fit OF justihable rage they had resolved
that the entire subject OF violins should be
ignored both by themselves and the strang-
ers who might venture within their gates

MUSIC STUDY.

PHILADELPHIA Record.

HnllsSOelpllld INSNolu-
The question whether there is any good in
music study has been raised. and there are
persons who maintain that anything which
appeals directly TO the senses can only
prove an injury. II would be difficult TO es-
tablish that proposition. while il is beyond
all doubt that Sydney Smith was right
when he said that nothing else gives so
much pleasure at so small "A cost. IF
had my life TO live over" he exclaimed, Il
should dedicate il 10 music" In a world so
full of pain and disappointment music has
a place OF very great importance. Ii has
been a solace 10 wounded minds and de-
pressed spirits when no other remedy has
been attainable. Perhaps we shall vet dis
cover that il is valuable remedy against
physical Ills. Even with a very limited
knowledge OF music the world regards il as
one of its greatest treasures.
Probably more money. time and effort are
annually expended for music study than
for any other special branch of education
