did SO only from fear lest he should give effect
to his threat to throw her out of the window.
Again, he administered thorough rating
to chorister named Jansen, who had assured
Handel that he could sing at sight
You schoundrel!" yelled Handel, shaking
his fist underneath the nose of the frightened
chorster. Wat do you mean by delling me

petely unnerved; but not at first sight, sir. y
In 1888, in the Lenten season, minor
canon from the cathedral Of Gloucester offered
his services to Handel His offer was accepted,
and he was employed in the choruses. Not
satisfied with this department, the canon re-
quested leave to sing a solo, that his voice
might appear to more advantage This re-
quest was also granted; but he executed his
solo SO little to the satisfaction OF the audience
that. to his great modification, he was vio-
lenty Kissed.
When the performance was over, Handel
who for once was not in a rage, came to the un-
fortunate and said, - am very, very, sorrv for
YOU, my dear sir; but go back to Your church
in de country. God will forgif you for your
bad singing; desc wicked beoples in London,
Clev will not forglf YOU.

Low Temperature

A DOCTOR in an iso-

Virginia tells of a case
where he was forced to
employ an inexperi-

The latter had been
duly instructed, and SO

careful to record the
temperature of the sick
man
One morning the
physician met the new

The Cars Apology

A CELEBRATED Italian
n tenor of the name of
Mantini once became involved

Nicholas | of Russia. The
story. as told by chronicler
of the times, possesses a GER
tain grim comicality.
1t appears that Nicholas
was accustomed to walk the
streets of St. Petersburg alone,
wrapped in a large gray cloak.
1t was forbidden to speak to
His Majesty, but the Gar
sometimes forgot that sub
iect could not obey the pro-
hibition, if the Emperor ad-
dressed him.
Once in a park the Car
met the tenor, then a popular
favorite of the Russian capi-
tai, and exchanged a few
words with him. The mo-
ment the Emperor was out
of sight the police arrested
the tenor. That evening the
Gar attended the opera,
where, after a long delay, the
manager came forward with

ON the other hand, there may be cited an
- exceedingly loyal attitude toward his pro
fession on the part of Roger, the great French
tenor. A sensitive soul, he was prone to take
offense at any slight whether intentional
not
On one occasion he was engaged for twelve
hundred francs to sing at the house of wealthy
financier Roger sang his first song magnf
centiy; but no one paid him the slightest
attention, and the guests continued to talk
their loudest
Presently the host thought the time had
come for another song. and sent for Roger
He could not be found, and that evening

from him, accompanied by fifteen hundred
francs. The note ran something like this

for playing. Gottschalk, who
was accustomed to throw up
his hand to a considerable
height during the perform
ance of brilliant passages, and
was unused to this new form
of keyboard, constantly hit
his knuckles against the pro-
jecting lip.
This repeated rapping of
his knuckles at last began to
have an irritating effect on
him, as the audience could
plainly see. Suddenly. after
a particularly hard rap, he
stopped short in the middle
of his selection, wrenched the
offending cover out of the in
strument by main force, and
hurled it across the platform

THERE is a good story told of prima

in the time of Frederick the Great When
ever anything or anybody di pleased the
naughty Frausch, she, after the manner of
prma donnas in general, would suddenly be-
come too hoarse to sing One evening there

At the appointed hour the manager came
forward and announced that, owing to a sore

Mozart's Score

nF the musical geniuses who have delighted
~ the world, probably more stories have
been told of Mozart than any other. The
biogra aphies of this genius read like romances,
so full are 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 a concerto
for the harpsichord. which, though writ
ten strictly in accordance with the princi
Piles and technic of his art, vet over
loaded with difficulties that it could not be
played.
1t is related that Mozart once happened to
put off some music that he had been engaged
to furnish for court 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 a curious
turn, CHANGED 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, with bow.
