Spohr and the Violin.

Louis Spohr, the greatest OF all Ger
man viOliniSts and Il man whose name
is otherwise indelibly written on the
pages of musical history, was born at
Brunswick on April 5, 1874. just fifteen
days after his great contemporary and
rival, Nicolo paganini. first saw the
light of the world Two greater con-
trasts than these two men could not
be imagined. Paganini. the brilliant,
dazzling. comet-like apparition, over
awed the masses. for whose favor he
made d high bid. while the German.
the serious. digntied. deep artist, APP
pealed to the connoiSseurs and cultur-
ed musicians. Spohr both by precept
and example eXerted tremendous in
1uence on violin playing and violin
composition and, in fact, OH compost
ton in general. The greatest must
clans of his day stood in awe of him,
and even Richard Wagner, after SpOhr
had produced The Flying Dutchman'
at Cassel in 1913, where he was then
conductor of the opera. in letter writ
ten to the great violinist displayed a
sense of gratitude Of which III latel
years he seemed incapable. Spohr died

Show Windows In Austria.

The Austrian shopkeeper takes great
pride in having his window dressed in
an attractive manner and the glass
perfectly clean at all times, no matter
how small the shop or how small the
city. Frequently the greater part of
the stock of merchandise is displayed
in the windows of the smaller shops.
1t is much less difficult to make at
tractive displays than in American
stores, as windows open outward on
hinges. Even heavy plate glass Win
dows ten to fifteen feet square are so
arranged and dressed from the street
instead of from the inside, as i'll Amer
lea. The large windows are usually
arranged in the morning before many
pedestrians are on the street. The wall
space between shops is frequently
rented by owners of adjoining stores
and arranged to appear like windows,
giving the appearance of being large
shop. When one wishes to examine
an article displayed in window the
proprietor or clerk goes to the street
with a key, unlocks the window and
takes out the article, then locks his
window again.

Tailed EnuIishmen.

Natives of southern Arabia believe
that Christians wear hats only to hide
their horns. Formerly the continent
of Europe chung to the conviction that
the Englishman's neither garments con-
cealed a tail. So late as the reign Of
Edward VI, according to Bale, ian
Englyshman cannot travayle in anoth-
er land by way of marchandyse or
any other honest occupyinge, but it is
most contumeliously thrown into his
tethe that all Englyshmen have tails"
The belief probably arose from the
legend of the "Kentish Longtails."
The people of either Canterbury or
Strood (for the legend varies) Knocked
at Beckett as he rode by on an ass
and cut off the ass tail. Wherefore
they and their descendants were cursed
with tails thenceforth. At least so
said testers of other countries, and the
SANDER eventually reacted upon Eng
land in general. Another version sub
stitutes st. Augustine and Dorsetshire.
