Swainesboro Forest Blade: It
is very unfortunate that two

PROF. ALBERT
LAVIGNAC ON MUSIC.
It possesses an intensity of ex
pression and power of communi
cating emotion to which no spo
ken language can attain, howev
er perfect it may be.
The study of the musical lan
guage is like that of all other
languages. He who learns in
his infancy can become master
of it, but at an advanced age, it
is almost impossible to acquire
it.”
Like all other languages, also,
it can be taught in two ways, by
practice and theory. It possesses
its own special literature of an
extreme richness and variety;
the composer is an author of the
same rank as the man of letters;
B the virtuoso singers and instru
mentalists are interpreters like
the reciter or reader; one makes
use of words, the other of sounds,
but their aim is the same, —to
excite emotion, or, at least, to
captivate the intellect.
Music is a sort of universal
language which harmoniously
relates all the sensations of
“life.” Finally, also, like other
languages, it constantly trans
forms itself by a slow and logic
al evolution, following the prog
ress of civilization and corre
sponding to the needs of differ
ent periods and different coun
tries.
MUSIC AM ART.
The most subtle, the most ethe
real and the most evanescent of
all the arte. The architect moves
blocks of stone, the painter fixes
upon canvas, wood, stone or pa- •
per, colors that will last for aft ‘
unlimited time. Even the
finds in the words of his language

Llitie Ssith, Who Lo t Both Arms When 1
a Child, Writes, Draws and Does j
N.edle-work With Her Feet.
No greater exemplification of
the old adage that “Necessity is
the mother of invention” can be j
presented to the people than the (
wonderful accomplishments of I
Kitty Smith, the young lady who
lost her arms when nine years
old, and who, through sheer ne
cessity, has been compelled to
educate her feet to work like I
hands.
Miss Smith is certainly a re
markable young woman. In many
ways her accomplishments equal i
those of Blind Tom and Helen I
Keller. Her humble station in 1
life has unfoi innately kept I.
her in the back-ground so that
but few people have ever heard I
of her until within the last few I
months, during which time she I
[has been selling a little book of I
her life which also contains re-1
productions of some of her work.
Her book is not only interesting, I
but her pathetic story reaches
the hearts of all who read it.
Miss Smith was born in Chica
go, October 21, 1882. Her par
lents were poor people and it was
I during the year of 1891 that she I
I was sent with a car load of fresh
air children to Whitley county,
Indiana, where she was kept for,
I two weeks by Mr. and Mrs. W.
IE. Heagy of South Whitley.*
Shortly after she returned home
I her mother died, leaving her, at
J the aee of nine, to be housekeep-
VIIV
er for a little family of two
brothers, a little sister, and,
father.
On Thanksgiving Day, 1891, in
going about the house doing her
daily work, she found a bottle
which she knew contained liquor.
Her father was a drinking man
and the children had often been
sent to the saloons for liquor.
She had often drank of the liquor
she had been sent for, and, with
out knowing the wrong she was
doing, she partook freely
the bottle, of what a 4BBM
l - .BBBHB
I fed'?} '; as in an
and called to her to
|woo<l kitchen fire. She
answered that she was sick and
could not go, but he insisted and
she obeyed. She took the lids
from the stove, when the com
bined effect of the heat and the
liquor caused her to faint and
she sank upon the open stove un
conscious. She was only saved
from death by her little brother
coming in from play and pulling
her from the stove. Her arms
were so badly burned that she
was taken to the. Cook Qounfey
ments for his work. The musi
cian alone sbetns to work in the
void and with voids; sonorities
extinguished almost as soon as
heard, and of Which nothing re
mains but memory, i Thosp are
his materials ;it is with such
means that he must “charm the
ear, interest the mind and some
times, elevate the soul/’ accord
ing to an old definition, w hich is
not the worst for all that.
The art, however, may be
likened to for the com
poser plays with sounds as the
poet plays with words dike poetry
also, it is strictly bounded by the
law’ of rhythm and consonance f
like it, it addresses itself to the
mind, the heart and the soul by
means of the organ of hearing.
It also has a strong resem
blance to painting, because it
possesses a particular colouring
of the letter, w hich ife orchestra
tion ; its form and line is the
melodic contour; and the judi
cious balancing of the combina
tion, resulting therefrom, which
is in one, as in the other of the
two arts, constitutes harmony.
It may, perhaps, be like archi
tect even more for those who can
understand the important part
played in music by the relative,
proportions of the various farts
of the composition,- w hether
be of erroneous or trifling ituper -1
tance, whether it ia a qnestrion Os
a simple song wordipr’
an oratorio, a lilfteair or
an opera in five parts.
