PRoDIdIEs FOR THEIR AGE.

Christian Heinecken, the Scholar
and Mozart, Musician, Marvels.
OF all the infant prodigies that have
interested and astonished both hemi-
spheres it is generally believed that
none was grea ter than little Christian
Heinecken of Lubbock. This remarka-
BILE youngster when at TIE tender age
Of IL months was able to recite the
Pentateuch without an error and could
pass the most thorough examination
without single slip. Fancy child
Of 3 being able to converse fiuently In
both French and Latin. But that Is
what Master Christian could do and he
could hold his own with the best mas
tiers of these languages.
No one could catch him on q single
question in history, ancient or modern.
and he was more familiar with re-
ligious and church history than the
majority Of clergymen are. Before
young Heinecken died, at the age Of
4, he was petted and made much of by
royalty Of the Danish court, while
thousands Of people focked to see him
and listen to the words of knowledge
and wisdom that fell from his baby
lips.
Another infant phenomenon, whose
line was music instead Of languages,
was beloved Mozart, who was looked
upon as a harpsichords expert almost
before he could talk. AS matter OF
fact the child, Wolfgang Mozart, COM
posed concerto at the tender age OF
4 and, what was still more remarkable,
this composition was SO difficult that
young Mozart's father, who enjoyed
an enviable reputation as violinist,
could not master the work of his son
until he had devoted considerable time
to practicing 1t. Imagine this boy CIV
ing recital in university hall be-
fore musicians of worldwide reputation
as students Of music who had played
before Mozart was born. BY the time
he had reached the age Of this aston
ishing youth had won Europe entirely
and he was in a fair way to being
spoiled by the kings and empresses who
showered him with honor, affection and
gifts.

IMPROVING SERMONS.
.>N~-

The Kirk of Scotland has always laid
great stress upon the power of sermons
in its ministrations John Kerr, in his
"Other Memories, Old and New" gives
some of his own recollections on this
point.
A minister whose disposition was
rather to drive than to lead called on
a woman whose attendance at church
was not quite so regular as he wished.
II was pleased" he said, Ito see
you at church yesterday. You have
not been very regular lately" y
"Oh, yes, was there yesterday. I
liklt your discoorse, and was muckle
the better 'o't."
I'm glad of that. You'll remen-
Der the text, no doubt?"
mo, I've a very bad memory for
texts"
"Well, you remember what l said
about it, or some Of the things sald?"
. mo Gamma say that l can reel on
anything We said" r-
My good woman, you must be .
hypocrite to say you were the better
| for being at the church, when You can
not tell me either the text or anything
l said about It,"
do We see," she replied, pointing to
some clothes that were bleaching ON
the green, "thae claes DOT there?"
| EYES," he said.
| "Weel, l watered them half an hour
since, and there's no drap o. water
to be seen on them moo; but they're
hantle the better OF for a. that"
This recalls the experience Of another
minister whose sermons were dull and
not for edifcation. Meeting one OF
his congregation who had been seri-
GUS defaulter in respect Of attendance.
he said, John, you have not been at
church for long time"
mo, Gamma just say when I was
at your kirk. I was gle'en some O. the
ither kinks a bit turn"
But, John, have you never heard
that rolling stone gathers no moss7"
AYE, but I have heard, too, that q
tethered lamb talks a lang time to grow
fat"
