A Quarter-century Of Printing.
THE ADVANCE THAT THE TRADE HAS
MADE IN THAT TINE.

Amidst the tremendous general prog
ress which has marked the last twenty
five years, it would indeed be strange II
the art of printing had not made some
strides forward; and an actual survey OF
the matter leads one to wonder what
line of business there is that can show
greater advancement.
AS explaining why make these com.
ments at this time, as we'll as indicating
my qualifications, may mention that
on the 10Th of August, 1878, / entered
the office of the Oxford Democrat as a
printers apprentice; that after my three
years. apprenticeship put in four years
at school, during which most of my
vacations were spent in the printing
Office; and that after graduating in 1885,
I returned to the Democrat Office, from
which l have never since beep absent
over fifteen days at any one time. On
the 10Th of the present month, passed
my twenty-fifth milestone as printer.
While it is true that all but few weeks
Of my experience as printer has been
within the ruts of one Office, it il also
true that have not been unobservant of
what was going on in the world around
me; and it may further be modesily
mentioned in passing, as complimentary
to the Office force, that the Democrat
Office is pronounced by men who know
printing offices rs one of the neatest,
and, for its size, one Ut the best equipped
in the state.
To reverse the usual rhetorical order
and place the summing up at the begin
ming, it is safe to say that no self-respect-
ing printer of to-day would willingly go
into the wOrk-room where took up the
broom twenty-five years ago, and under
take to turn out satisfactory work. Nor
is this saying anything derogatory of the
Democrat Office of 1878, which was as
we'll equipped with what the type found
,rs and other manufacturers could fur
1ish at that time as was the average
office. 1t is also true that the
work turned out twenty-five years ago
would not DO acceptable to most custom
ITS to-day, who are educated to better
quality of printing.

THE KNEISEL QUARTET.
Mozart. Brahms and Beethoven at Its
Fourth Concert.

Rude Boreas did not bluster last night
despite the fact the Kneisel Quartet was in
town. The organization gave its fourth
concert at Mendel lssohn Hall amid the
usual demonstrations Of general pleasure.
The rogramme was one Of the most inter-
estinR offered this season by Mr.. Kneisel
and his associates. 1t consisted Of Mozarts
F major quartet fer oboe. violin. viola and
cello, Brahms's trio in B major. and Bee
thoven's quartet in A minor, opus 1872. The
oboist was q. Longy Of the Boston Symph-
ony Orchestra. and the pianist was that
eminent expOsitor Of Brahms. Arthur
Whiting.
The Mozart oboe quartet was played
her, by the Kneisel gentlemen and Mr.
Longy on Dec, 20, 1893. and its performance
then was believed 10 be, and in all proSa-
bility was it's first in this city. Its repe-
tition last night was welcome. 1t is a
naively lovely composition. in which there
Is no attempt at profundity and in which
the oboe is the ar of the four instruments.
With such a yirtuoso as the first oboist Of
the Boston orchestra it was bound to be
we'll PLAYED and II. delighted the audience.
Brahms finds himself in goodly care
when ha is committed 70 the ministrations
These three musicians are thoroughly in
svmpa;hy with the composer and with each
other. Ii would be strange, indeed, If in
these circumstances they did not give an
Interpretation stimulating to the intelli-
eence and suggestive TO the imagination.
The Beethoven quartet played last even
ing is one Of the last three OF the master
of all quartet writers. II Ia the one con-
tanning the Song Of Thanksgiving in the
Lydian mode offered 10 the Deity by one
cured Of sickness.
The riddles Of these last q Iartcts are no
longer formidable 10 music lovers Much
has been cleared up by the general advance
of musical culture and even more by we'll
balanced and discerning interpretations.
That the Kneiscl Quartet knows how to
read the Beet hoven riddles has been dem
onstrated before this time Still II must
I've admitted that the last quartets are only
for the musical mind. and those who have
not followed the st rides Of the tonal art in
recent years must still find them obscure
and int ricate in construction. Nevertheless.
they ought to BE- played when performers
Of sound knowledge and deep sympathies
can he found to plav them.
