MELODY DEAFNESS.
To Those Who Are Afflicted With Il
Music Is Simply Noise.


Every one has heard of color blind
ness, but few people are aware that
there is such malady as tune deaf
ness. 1t prevents those affected from
approaching music, which to the melo-
dy deaf is nothing but noise.
The most intelligent people often suf-
fer in this way. Empress Catherine
OF Russin used to declare that for her
music was nerve trying din. ana Ma
polcon I. hated any form OF melody.
Victor Hugo had to be coaXed by the
composer who put his famous lines to
music. "Are not my verses" he used
to say, Sufficiently harmonious to
stand without the assistance OF disa-
greeablc noiscS?"
Doctors say that the power to appre-
ciate music depends upon perfect
combination of the nerves and brain.
Some peoples nerves readily carry mu-
steal sounds to the mind, while in 9TH
ers nerves impede their passage to the
brain cells.
Good musicians are more often born
than made. Nature has provided them
with nerves which instinctivsly carry
1nnsical chords to the brain. That IS
why u good musician can memOrizesa
-t,sAc' after llcarihg It played over Once.
Every note has been clearly recorded
In his brain.
Those with less sensitive musical
nerves receive dull impression Of any
music they may hear, and thus they
are unable to remember it unless it is
drummed into their brain by repeated
playing.-Pearson's Weekly.
