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.

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.
