Carried 1t in His Head

nF the musical geniuses who have delighted the
~ world, probably more stories have been told
of Mozart than any other The biographies of
this genius read like romances, full they of
anecdotes of his marvellous precocity. When four
years old he played minuets and learned music
with facility; and at the age of six he composed
concerto for the harpschord, which, though writ
ten strictly in accordance with the principles and
technc of his art yet overloaded with diff
culties that it could not be played
1t is related that Mozart happened to put
off music that he had been engaged to furnish
for a concert SO long that he had not time to
write out the part which he himself was to perform
The Emperor Joseph, who was of curious turn
Glanced to be in the composers studio, when he
asked, Where is your part? do not see it among
these sheets of music"
Here" responded Mozart touching his forehead
Lamented His Fame
MOT all the great composers have courted the
to lament that he unable to find refuge even
for brief space from the reputation that preceded
him wherever he went.
At time he desired to spend much needed
holiday at the watering place of Montecatin
When he arrived he found that in of the apart

make On the rack, by way of compliment, lay the
score of II Trovatore AS soon as he caught
sight of it, the veteran flew into a rage hastily

What's this" growled the director
Mr.. Director said the pupil, Il wished to pro-
duce effect that l thought could best be pro-

Cherubini scowled. You thought to produce 4
good effect upon the audience if you suppressed
two measures?
Yes, SIR
Very good added Cherubni Suppress the
rest; the effect will be better still.
A Considerate Musician
MANY stories told of the jealousy and i'll

ing to note that at least genius did not fail in
good natured appreciation of a fellow artist 1t
is related how Rossin walking day the
boulevard with the musician Braga was greeted by
Meyerbeer, who anxiously inquired after the health
of his dear Rossini.
Bad answered the latter. "Frghtfu head

After few minutes conversation, Meyerbeer
passed on, and Braga asked the great composer

farce comedy ever presented to Ho-
rolulu audience, will be the attraction
offered tonight by the Ellefords at the

phenomenal and the production and
the cast of the Ellefords will be excel

highly enjoyed by the Masonic fratern-

in a body, but it is just as amusing
to those who are not Masons. The
story deasw it'll the deception of
son-in-aw and father-in-law, who tell
their wives that they are members Of

he is a Mason, why his endeavors to
keep up the deception is iaughable in
the extreme. The EleiOrds have re-
