 It was not case of sharp criticism merely. Bad playing would produce in Leschetizl1y an absolute paroxysm of rage and fury, during which he was capable of doing almost anything. "Go and break stones," Do you think I teach b1acksmiths?' "You ought be washing steps instead of playing the piano." These were some of the mildest observations with which he would convey his opinions to luck less performer who had displeased him. And no one ever dared to resent them
 With pupils who pleased him, on the other hand, Leschetizky could be charming, and even with the others his malice was short-lived, so that 10 minutes after he had been calling this one a butcher" and that one 'pig" he would be laughing and joking as if nothing had happened.
 What was the famous Leschetizky method" The most diverse state ments have been made on the subject. Some have even declared that there was no method" in the sense of any at all.

DEEP RESENTMENT
 AT NEUFELD'SA ACT
Rescued by Kitchener, Ger. man Now Incites Arabs
 Against British

London, January 29.-( -(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-No minor incl dent of the war has so stirred up the German sources that Karl Neufeld, the German trader and traveller, well known in the east, has been trying to influence the Mohammedan tribes in Persia and Arabia against the allies.
 Neufeld was rescued from prison by Lord Kitchener and the British troops at Omdurman in September, 1898. For ten years he had lain in a Mahdist jail, sub jected to horrible tortures, according to his own account.
 In his book describing his adventures Neufeld tells how, on being thrown into prison. three sets of iron shackles were attached to his feet and rings and chains fastened about his neck He was then flogged, and on one occasion he received 800 lashes. From these horrors he was saved by the British and returned to freedom.
 During his imprisonment, Neufeld gained fluent knowledge of Arabic and an intimacy with Mohammedan life and customs known to few whites. Like Bur ton, he made piigrimages in native guise, both to Medina and Mecca. It was at Medina that his identity was sus- pected and he was made to take an oath that he was Mussulman and to undergo a searching examination on the Koran by Mohammedan doctors, from which he emerged successfully.
 At this time, it is declared, Neufeld did a service to his country that brought it's reward in this war. He spread the be- lief among the ignorant Mohammedan populace that there were many Moham- medans in Germany. In fact, the cur rent belief in Islam that the Kaiser is the grand caliph of the European Mo- hammedans and went to war to free them from Christian oppression is at tributed to Neufeld's busy propaganda
 There is a story that Neufeld recently went to Germany not only as the bearer of valuable political and military in- formation for the German government, but also of a bottle of mirac e-working water from the sacred zem-Zem well at Mecca, given him by the faithful as a cure for General von Hindenburg's gout. According to the traveller, Burton, zem- zem water is bitter to the taste and causes diarrhea and boils, but the faith ful say that it not only restores health,

We'll Known Hymn Writers

From London Tit-Bits
 It would seem that a good recipe for long life is to write hymns, and especially if you happen to be a woman Fanny Crosby, the blind author of Safe in the Arms of Jesus" one of the most popular hymns ever written, lived to be 90. The number of copies of her hymns sold on both sides of the Atlantic is said to reach 100,000000.
 Mrs. Jemma Luke, who wrote probably the best known childrens hymn in the world, T Think When I Read That sweet Story of Old,'' reached the age of D. The author, man this time who wrote its nearest rival. There's a Friend for Little Children died a year or two since at S9, and the authoress of "TeI Me the Old Old Story" lived to a great age
 Charlotte Elliot who wrote Just as I Am and Mrs. Cousins who penned ''The Sands of Time Are Sinking" both lived to be S2. Mrs Alexander, the fa- nous author of There Is a Green Eill" reached T, whilst Harriet Auber, the authoress of Our Blest Redeemer." died one year short of 90.
 Whittier, who has enriched real liter ature- with some splendid hymns, died at S5; Charles Wesley, the author of 'Hark the Herald Angels" at 80; and his still more famous brother, John, who made some of the finest hymn translations in the language, at SS.
 James Montgomery, who wrote Sow in the Morn Thy Seed" died at S3 Thomas Binney, who composed Eternal Light" lived to be 7S; Cardinal Newman, whose splendid hymns. Lead Thou Me On" and Praise to the Holiest' have a world wide reputation, reached the age of Ss, and pr. Bonar attained his eighty-arst year.
 It is said of Albert Midlane, the author of There's a Friend for Little Chil- dren,' already mentioned, that he wrote hymns at such an early age that his father and mother and all his uncles and aunts prognosticated his early death, on the maxim that the good die young. Yet he attained to S9 birthdaysl

.|NDORSE ACTION OF
 PEACE SOCIETIES
American Society in Japan Urges CeaseIess Labor for
 World Propaganda

Tokio, January -(Correspondence of the Associated Press. )--The Amert- can Peace society of Japan at it's an- nual meeting on December 16 formally expressed it's support of resolutions passed recently by the International Peace congress at San Francisco and by the last Lake Mohonk conference on international arbitration. The peace congress resolution was an ap- peal to Congress to adopt an immi- grafton policy based on the just and equitable treatment of all races. a policy that will grant the rights of cit izenship, regardless of race or nation ality, and to provide that all aliens should be under the special protection of the national government.
 The Lake Mohonk resolution urged Congress. in the interest of avoiding occasions for war, to extend the juris- diction of the courts of the United States as to criminal prosecutions for violation of the treaty rights of aliens.
 J. McD. Gardiner. the president of the society, urged ceaseless labor in be- half of world peace propaganda. 'As We look back" he said, lover the past year and review the progress of the discussions brought out by the fearful war still raging in Europe. we can, think, take courage heartened by what has undoubtedly favored the cause we have so much at heart. Even among peace workers a sentiment has been de- veloped which distinctly recognizes the fact as nations are now related to each other war is sometimes unavoidable and even necessary.
 "The aim, then, of many is to replace relations of suspicion and distrust by a franker intercourse and truer knowl- edge as soon as possible, rather than to attempt to make war impossible by any artificial means"
 President Gardiner emphasized what he called the banefulness of secret di- p1omacy.
 As to the relations between Japan and the United States. MT. Gardiner said that Americans in Japan must see to it that the United States and Amer jeans are not misunderstood here and that Americans at home do not mis- judge Japan. The peace society should be thankful, he thought, for the deep interest and activity shown by organi- zations of fellow countrymen at home in making Japan better known and un- derstood by the distribution of inform ative literature.

LORD MILNER GOT
 HIMSELF IN BAD
Seeker of German Influence Found to Be of TeutOn
 Birth

London, January 29.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press )-When Lord Milner made statement in the House of Lords that an occult German in fluence" was operating on the British government, he caused his own Germanic connections to be made a subject of in- quiry, for Lord Milner is German born of German born father. VThomas Lun- don, M F., an Irish nationalist repre- senting Limerick has even tried to prove that his lordship is not British citi- gen. and therefore, by inference, a Ger man subject
 Miners grandfather, James Richard son Miner, emigrated from England to Germany and settled in Dusseldorf, where he Germanized. his name to Richard Mil Ter. He married a German woman by whom he had four sons. Carl Milner, father of the present lord, was born at Neuse, in 1880. He married an English woman.
 When Lundon raised the question in the House of Commons, the home secre- tary explained that by virtue of the act of 1773, Lord Miner was British sub ject This act amended the law of 1731, which declared that a foreign-born son of a British subject should be regarded as natural born Briton, by extending this privilege to the grandson. But Lundon ouS up tiS ttCl Ol Itio anu AOuAlu SlldL to obtain citizenship the grandson must reside in the United Kingdom, take oaths of loyalty to the King and the House of Hanover and for eXtinguishing the hopes of the Stuart pretender to the crown and also receive the sacrament according to the usage of some Protes- tant church, with two witnesses to the oath
 Having made this discovery Lundon again attacked Miners citizenship in the commons. But the home secretary re- piled that the section regarding the oath, which Lundon claimed had never been administered to Milner, was repealed in 1871.
 Milner received his earlier education in Germany, but graduatd from Oxford, became a power in journalism in Lon don, served in various government of fees and as high commissioner for South Africa from 1898 to 1905, being governor of the Transvaal during the last three years of this period. He received the title of baron in 1901 in reward for his services in Africa, and of viscount in 1902. He does not come of titled family.

[ his first principles was that each case
 required individual treatment But some of his general principles can be indicated.
 In the first place, then, he demand ed unlimited hard work. Failing this
 the pupil was dismissed, however bril- liant
 Secondly, every pupil who went to Leschtizky had to unlearn all he had previously leaned and. begin at the very beginning again.
 Thirdly he deprecated excessive prac- l Using. Most, pianists practice too long" was one of his maxims while another of his favorite sayings was to the effect that five-sixths of piano technique was in the brains rather
 than in the fingers.
 In the matter of actual technique three of his leading rules were: CD
 The notes on the accented parts of the
 bar must be louder than those on the unaccented parts; CD Long notes must
 be played louder than short notes; (3) Higher notes must be played louder than lower notes.
 To explain the reasons for these
 rules would take too much space, and of course they were subject, when ap- piled, to countless exceptions and quail l ifications, but it may be of interest to set them down even thus baldly. But it must be understood that they give in this form only a faint mo-
 tion of the actual teaching of one who classified touch under 19 different
 heads and demanded an appropriate muscular adjustment of the finger and hand for each.
 A contemporary and friend of Rubin stein, and, like him, a Russian by
 birth, Leschetizky, who was a bril- liant pianist himself, of course studied under the famous Czerny, who in turn had lessons from Beethoven. He was married no fewer than four times. in each case to a lady who had original ly been one of his pupils, the most fa- nous of them being Mime. Essipoff, who was at one time well known in London concert rooms.

GREAT PIANO TEACHER

From Tit-Bits.
 The late Theodor Leschetizky was generally recl<oned the most remark able piano teacher of modern times. Paderewski was one of his pupils, Mark Hamburg was another while Doh nanyi. Gabrilowitsch and Slivinski all studied with him also. From the ends of the earth aspiring students made their way to the charming suburb in the outskirts of Vienna, where the fa- nous pedagogue lived in the hope of becoming second Paderewskis under his fostering care; but great was the dis illusionment in store for them as a rEle.

ESSAD'S ADHERENCE
 IS GREAT RELIEF
Albanian Ruler Could Have Made Much Trouble Be-
 hind the Servians

London, January 29.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press. )-News of Essad Pashas adherence to the cause of the allies has been received here with thankfulness as the opera tions of Albanian irregulars in the rear Of the Servian army was causing con- siderable apprehension. With his 20,- 900 men, many of them armed with rifles and ammunition seized from the German and Austrian cOnSulateS in All bania, il is believed Essad will be able to control enemy tribesmen and keep the lines of communication open for the allied troops He has already ex- tended a welcome to the Italian troops wh' entered Albania by way of Dur ago.
 Essad is described as wild, primi- tive character. and, as the descendant of Moslem family of great power and antiquity in Albania, he is intense ly patriotic. In the days of Turkish rule ne early identified himself with the Young Turk party, although he later became their bitter opponent. He intrigued against Abdul Hamid to avenge the assassination of his elder brother by Abdurs agents.
 When the Balkan war broke out Es- sad fought with the Turks and gained high reputation by the skill of his defense of Scutari in 1913 The prom inerce the heads of his family had held as robber chiefs bred in him the am- bition to become King of Albania. But he was forced by the European powers to agree to the choice of Prince Will liam of Wied. The truce was not long. The new Kings incapacity and lack of tact soon caused Essad to organize a revolt. But Prince William fled to the protection of Austrian warships. Essad himself was arrested and de- tained for a time, but was released through Italian mediation.
 Last October Essad was formally made dictator of Albania and com mander in chief of the army. He then expressed to the Italian minister his gratitude for the interest Italy once took in his behalf.

Lines
From Judge.

Railroads, poems, plays, drawings, thoughtful brows, palms of hands and geometry are made up of lines.
 Lines sometimes have a president and a board of directors, and presidents and boards of directors usally have lines. The care of lines produces lines of care.
 Fishes and sentimental young ladies are frequently caught with lines.
 Poets formerly were much given to in- diting certain lines to young ladies, but the modern lady who desires certain lines usually goes to a modiste,
 A man who gets line on other people is either profligate son, a Legree a de- tective. or e tattoo artist.
