rested to Musorgsky by a friend, Pro-
lessor Nicolsky, who had met him at
the house of Glinka's sister, Nine.
snestakos The composer was 80 de-
lighted with the suggestion that he
dropped the continuation of "The Mar
rage Broker" and set to work upon his
nav task. This was in September, 1858.
RI the middle OF November he had fin
ished the first act, and one year later
the opera was completed. After fin
;shing each part Of the work Musorgsky
invited his friends to private hearings
Of the music He himself played tho
piano and sang nearly all the vocal
parts, with the assistance of Miss Alex
sadra Purgold for the small feminine
roles. Much enthusiasm resulted from
these additions, Dangerously. brother
composer. after listening to the scene
IN the inn, exclaimed that Musorgsky
had gone far beyond him.
Still, in spite of wholesale admiration
t1om his friends, Petrograd theatrical
managers al first refused the work, on
the ground that it contained too many
ensembles and too many choruses, and
because the scant nature Of the princi-
pal roles gave them insufficient impor-
lance. The composer at last consented
20 long series Of revisions, which re-
suited in the operas present form.
The first performance Of the opera in
Petrograd, January u, 1874, marked
the greatest triumph in the composers
life. Twenty consecutive performances
we're given before crowded houses. The
Younger generation was particularly
impressed, and late at night young
men we're heard singing the choruses
n the streets and on the Neva bridge.

The setting in which Musorrsky's
early life was spent profoundly infu-
ehced the character OF his compo-
'i''0ns. Born in the country, at the

Aarevo, the first ten years OF his life
were spent close to the peasantry. Thus

OF the soil. He delighted in the stories
" Russian folklore told him by his
nurse. At first, however, there were

people would ever become ANYTHING but
distinguished amateur. His biog-
'@pner' Stassof, quotes Borodin's i'm

D'lndy to Visit
America as Guest
ON. Y. Symphony

Vincent d'Indy, French composer and
founder Of the Paris Schola Cantorum.
will visit this country next season on
the invitation of Walter Damrosch.
when he will appear as guest composer
Orchestra ir the third pair of concerts
in the regular Carnegie Hall series on
December 1 and Q, which will be Mr..
d'Indy's only appearance in New York
The engagement Of Mr.. dTndy to ap-
pear in New York was arranged when
Walter Damrosch and his orchestra
gave concerts in Paris last May under
the auspices of the Ministry of Fine
Arts. On this occasion D'Indy served
with Saint-Sasns on the municipal com
mittee appointed to welcome the Amer
leans.
The programs selected for perform
ance in Carnegie Hall by Mr.. d'Indy will
include his own compositions. During
the last season Mr.. Damrosch and his
symphony men produced for the first
time here the new symphonic interlude
LA Queste de Dieu" from DTady's
opera, "Ihe Legend OF st. CHRISTOPHER"
which made deep impression when it
was given its premier in Paris last
June. Besides other works for the or
chestra D'Indy has composed three SYM
phonies. the third of which was first
played hare by Mr.. Damrosch in 1919.
PaulMarie Theodore Vincent d'Indy,
excepting Saint-Saens, is the oldest liv-
ing French composer, born in Paris on
March 81, 1851. He is the most dis
tinguished pupil of Cesar Franck, whose
traditions he continues. He knew
List, Wagner and Brahms. In 1876 he
heard the first performances of the Ring
dramas of Wagner, and for the Paris
premier of "Lohengrin" he drilled the
chorus. DIndy's appearance with the
New York Symphony Orchestra will
mark the sixteenth anniversary to
day of his first visit to America, when
he conducted two concerts of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra on December and
2, 1905.

OZONE AND TIE SAND MAN
Though Probably Few People
Could Tell How.

People who spend their vacations at
the seashore at this time of the year
usually find that their nights are
dreamless and restful.
They say that the sea air makes
them sleepy. Wheeled along in a
beach chair, one is likely to feel drowsy
or even go to sleep.
1t is the ozone in the air that does
il. Tie air at the seashore is full of
ozone, which might be called a con-
centrated oxygen. Ozone is power
full and healthful stimulant.
Whence, by the way, comes the
nursery idea of the Sand Man, herald
Of sleep?
The answer is that the approach of
sleep checks the flow from the ear
duets which keeps the eyes moist.
There results a dryness and slight
uncOmfortableness of the lids, causing
one to rub the eyes. The Sand Man
has come, and it is time to go to bed.

EXPLAINING Is ACCUSING.

The man himself is his own best ex-
PLANTATION and exculpation. If we are
not fit to be taken on trust for what
we are, all that we may say about
ourselves will not help much.
When a prisoner is arraigned upon
a charge of crime, the first effort made
in his defense is to procure character
witnesses. They tell of him as they
have always known him, TO establish
the antecedent improbability that such
a man as his acts have shown him to
be would do the thing of which he
stands accused.
"Many doubts deserve not to be
cleared" said wise old Samuel John
son. Public men,, attacked for things
they never thought of doing, have
learned to be patient and keep silence
under a running fire Of censure from
those who would be well pleased if
they could pull them down.-Philadel-
phia Public Ledger.

MANY USES FOR GIANT KEEP
Among Others, Sea Plant Lends Itself
ExceIlentIy to the Making
of "Hootch."

The aboriginal natives of British
Columbia and Alaska can always get
a suitable worm for distilling by pick
ing it out of the sea. 1t is furnished
by the hollow stem of the giant kelp,
and serves excellently for the making
of "hootch" from mixture of mo-
lasses and graham flour. The giant
kelp is anchored to the rocky bottom
by a root-like holdfast, from which
springs a stem that is sometimes 100
feet long. This stem is hollow for the
upper hals of its length, and termin-
ates in a big bladder-like bulb from
which, as it floats on the surface,
frOnds so feet long branch out. The
plant grows from spores and is an
annual. One variety Is called "sea
otter's cabbage" and is very plentiful
In the region of Puget sound. Another,
commonly known as ''sea pumpkin"
fiourishes nearly as far south as San
Diego bay. Bulbs of the giant kelp
are used in the Puget sound region as
bottles to hold fish oil and by fisher
men as baithoders. The Eskimos
utilize the hollow stem as a stphon to
empty water out of their kayaks,
which, being decked over, are not
easily baled in the ordinary way. Also
from sections of the stem they make
wheels for toy wagons.

"sMALL TALK is IMPORTANT
Well Worth cuItwatinG by Those to
Whom Its Possession Has
Been Denied.

The man who is a failure at small
talk never quite hears what the girl
he is talking to has to say. He Is
trying to think what he is going to say
next, so of course he cannot fail to
misunderstood what the girl he is talk
ing to says. He is needless, abstract
ed, worried and has way of listening
to the conversation of others rather
than to those at hand.
The girl whom men regard as a
good talker is always ready with a
laugh, and the girl who laughs well is
always popular. One can excuse the
girl who giggles if she giggles In
way that makes others merry and
seems to tell those with whom she
TALKS that they are entertaining her
immensely, that their stories are deli
ciously funny-though they may be
very stupid-and that on the whole
she is enjoying herself and her COM
panions enormously.
How should man start the con-
yersation at a dancer" is a frequent
query. There are 1000 ways and al
most any way is good way provid
ing it is prompt and whole minutes Of
sgoniZing silence do not slip before
anything is said. Little personal re-
marks that are not impertinent are
sure to win girls attention.

Certain Trouble.

The project for an American acad-
envy of poetry and song will not ma
terialize without some friction. Meth
er would the Institution be maintained
without more controversy. If it were
just Il clearing house for poetry it
would be easier; but even that might
furnish argument. There is such a diff
ference of opinion as to what really
constitutes poetry. There is large
school willing to admit as poetry any
thing which has neither rhyme nor
reason. Others who follow such jur-
lists as Bryant and Longfellow insist
that real poetry must have both. Pos
sihly it would be best to compromise
on a home for bards and let them tilt
before nonpartisan committee for
admission. Even a hall OF fame for
poets might start fght.--Los An

LANGUAGE SPOKEN BY FEW
Migrants in East End of London Use
an Ancient Celtic Tongue Among
Themselves.

Shelta Thar is a language used Sc
cretly among people of the tinker class
and principally to be met with in Scot
land and Ireland. IT'S use was first dis
covered and made known in 1876 by
Charles X. Leland, an American anti
quarian, and Prof. John Sampson of
Liverpool. One day, while walking
by the seashore at Aberystwyth, they
encountered tramp who addressed
them in an unknown tongue. Both
were versed in the ROmany or gypsy
language and were much surprised to
meet one who spoke tongue OF which
they knew not word.
They collected number of phrases
from this man and found on inquiry
that he had acquired this strange
speech from his wife, who was a
tinker The thinkers, he said, kept
their knowledge of the language a Sc
cret, speaking it only among them
selves. Later Leland encountered
He found that in many of the drinking
places in the East end of London.
where Migrants often congregate, the
language was freely employed but
that when an outsider made his APP
pearance, it ceased at once to be spok-
en-. Scientific methods applied to the
study of Shelta proved that it is no
mere system of back slang or cant, but
an ancient Celtic sDeech
Romany, the language of the Eng
lish gypsies, is still spoken by a large
number of persons. Among the ma
jority of them it has become corrupt,
but the older gypsy folk still speak
what is known as deep" Romany,
that is, the gypsy language in its pure
state.
The dialect of Shetland, although
its grammar is Lowland Scotch, Is
very largely Morse and as spoken by
the Shetlanders among themselves is
scarcely understandable by the aver
age Scotsman. On the Isle of Man,
Celtic tongue different from Gaelic or
Welch is still used by number of the
inhabitants.
