Rossini was one of the most indolent
Of men and in his younger days used
to do most of his composing in bed.
Once he had almost completed trio,
when the sheet fell out of his hand and
went under the bed. He could not
reach 1t, and, rather than get up, he
wrote another. The lazy man, if he
works at all, does SO by spurts, and

days. When Donizetti was told of this
he remarked. ut is very possible. He
is so lazy!" The overture to the "Gazzn
Ladra' was written under curious cir
cumstances. On the very day of the
first performance Of the opera not a
note of the overture was written, and
the manager, getting hold of Rossini,
confined him in the upper loft of La
Scala, setting four scene shifters on
guard over him. These took the sheets

paid 10 heed and exactly at the end

dith exhibited no haste. He did not
seem yet to have realized the gravity
Of the situation. He took very careful

with the aggressive head looked stupid

supporters with a pained look Of in

Cold storage In Irish pos..

For long it puzzled me to know what
the poachers did with the birds they
shot in July. There is no cold storage
in the north of Ireland. but they have
discovered an excellent substitute. The
birds are buried four or five feet deep
In dry peat, and, am told, come
out perfectly fresh Mt the end of two
or three weeks. When one remembers
the bog butter dug out of the peat bogs
in comparatively fresh state after
being buried for probably 200 or 800
years, 1t Is not difficult to believe that
