Musicians and Sneezinq,

Nobody can dispute T." sincerity of
the players in Il big orchestra like the
Philharmonic or the New York sym
phony. Most of the time they take
their work seriously, but sometimes
the men break loose and play tricks on
one another as though they We're
youngsters in school. OF course the
audience knows nothing of these
things; they're usually perpetrated in
rehearsals.
The red pepper trick is the common
est The jokers scatter 1t where the
bassoon and trombone players are like
ly to suck it up. The result is chokes
and sneezes. Sometimes the epidemic
reaches even into the strings, but of
course the players on the wind instru-
ments get it worst.
AS a matter of fact, the jokers are
playing with fire "a confirmed
sneeZer can't get job In good or
chestra, no matter how good per-
former he may be-" said consistent
concert goer. "Think of the effect of
a rousing sneeZe on pianissimo.
Why. it would spoil whole concert
one sneeze would. A conductor has to
guard against sneeZe as he does
against inebriety."-New York Sun.

The cry of the loon is one Of the

Those who have heard 1t can scarcely

Almost all writer's who have attempt

the sound, describes II as follows:

A Lucky Game of Chess.

A story is told of the Moorish prince
Abul Hejex, who was thrown into
prison for sedition by his brother Mo
hammed, king of Granada. There he
remained for several years until the
king, fearing he might escape, placed
himself at the head of fresh revolt
and seized the crown, ordering one OF
his pashas to see to his immediate ex-
ecution. Abul Hejex was playing at
chess when the pasha came and bade
him prepare for death. The prince
asked for two hours respite, which
was refused After earnest entreaty
he obtained permission to finish his
game. He was in no hurry about the
moves, we are told, and well for him
he was not, for before an hour had
elapsed q messenger brought the news
that Mohammed had been struck dead
by apopleXy, and Abul was forthwith
proclaimed king Of Granada. 1t was
indeed a small favor for the pasha to
grant. but it altered the whole current
OF the kings career.

Miriam. his sister. called him Jared
because she had descended after him

serted their mother. Amram. the fa-
ther of Moses, called the boy Chabar
because he was again reunited to the
mother of the lad. Kehath, the grand
father Of Moses, called him Abigdor
because God had repaired the breach
in the house of Jacob The nurse OF
the grandfather of Moses called him
Abb Socho because he was once hid
den three months in the Tabernacle.
All Israel called him Shemaiah be
cause 'in his days God heard their
