Playtime for busy music folks is at hand. BRAHM'S SPIRIT AT WORK. Brahm's music has Its admirers, also Its critics. Both will he interested in a Brahms story printed in the Har binger of Light, published in Alel fcourne, Australia, and devoted to the wonders of spiritism. The Harbinger of Light alleges it has a confession (from the spirit world) from Brahms etating that he, Johannes Brahms, stole his themes from Remenzi, the Bohe mian violinist. The Harbinger of Light article says Brahms sent this message: "I was a most successful man upon the earth as a musical artist, and my great ambition was to be, as a com poser, original to compose music such as had never been, or seldom ever, per formed in public, so that I might be come distinguished on that account. You know that I achieved my ambition, and my gypsy dances and Hungarian melodies are always spoken of as orig inal. But I was not original in the ordinary acceptance of the term, for I etole my gypsy themes from Remenyi, the Bohemian violinist, when I traveled with him for a short time as accom panist. "Remenyi was a true genius, and was most certainly inspired by the unseen Influence, when playing, especially in public, as was I myself also in after years. Remenyi used to play gypsy folk songs and melodies which he had learned from them when a boy, for he was of gypsy origin. These he used to IPlay from memory, with variations, en tirely from memory he would never write them down for fear some one might appropriate them. Now my mu eical memory was phenomenal and I Jotted down the themes from memory, and so became possessed of his reper toire, which certainly was original, as far as public musical audiences were concerned. After apologizing for his atrocious act the abandoned Brahms said: "I am glad to make this confession this afternoon and feel very much re lieved now that I have done so, it be ing the meanest action I ever did in earth life, and I can now progress much more rapidly." The cautious musician may doubt this explanation, and naturally. The Harbinger of Light adds that "we can not ask Brahms himself because, by confession, he has attained sufficient epiritual buoyancy to float him far above the earth plane." MCSIO DRIKKS. Herman Sandby, the Scandinavian cellist, will be at Bar Harbor, Me., lor the month of August.

Modiste," was first produced a man stepped up to the box office of the theater and asked for two seats for "Millie Modest." From that day to the present the Innocent and unsuspecting public has had its own troubles trying to make out certain theatrical names. Now in the Boston Grand Opera Com pany this season Lulsa Villani's name is pronounced "Loo-ee-zah Vee-lanny." Maria Gay must be called "Mah-ree-ah Guy." ' Giovanni Zenatello will not know you 'are speaking to him unless you Bay "Ge-o-vanny Zane-a-tello," (with the-accent on the "tello"). while Jose Mardones would never look around unless you said "Hozay Mar-do-neez," with the accent on the "doe." Fran cesca Peralta's name is pronounced as spelled, with the accent on the second syllable, "all," and so is George Bak lanoff's name, but be sure to accentu ate the "Man." and not the "bak." other wise he will be much offended. Paolo Ananian is called "Paul-ah Ah-nun-yun." with the middle ''nun" -made prominent. (If you say "an onion" you. will hit the nail right on the head). As to Luigl Remario, just say "Loo zhee Ree-marry-oh" and you will be all right so far as Luigi is concerned. . A lively little chap used to drive the delivery wagon for one Merger, butcher. of Brooklyn, N. Y. The little chap, who was known among his intimates as Jimmy Doherty, found that he was agi tated by many and conflicting ambi tions. Chief among these was the de sire to become a great prizefighter, and nightly, after the arduous duties of butcher-boying were finished, he hied himself to the Pelican Athletic Club. There he carried off the highest hon ors as a lightweight boxer, and no where in the whole neighborhood of which he was the pride, could there be found such another. Suddenly, one day Doherty found to his great surprise that he possessed a sweet, clear, lyric tenor voice. The Edison people in New York City have Just got hold of Do herty for their "rising artist series." A New York critic who heard Doherty sing recently, said: "There are more good artists waiting to be discovered than there are already discovered here in America. There are more good voices yet to be heard than there have been heard here in America. The first time Jimmy Doherty opened his throat and sang, I couldn't believe my ears. It seemed to me like John McCormack. That a lad so young, without any mu sical training could have so native and perfect a voice. I never would have be lieved had I not myself been witness of it."

Progress Is Made in Red Cross Sewing Classes. Grade Teachers' Association Reports Success of Newly Organized Work. THE Red Cross sewing classes or ganized by the Portland Grade Teachers' Association have made great" progress in this patriotic work to which they have pledged themselves. The equipping of a hospital unit means the cutting and making of 2000 articles of bed linen and wearing ap parel, including such garments as suits of pajamas, hospital bed shirts and convalescent gowns. Many teachers have devoted several afternoons a week to the work at the sewing-rooms, while others have taken quantities of it to their homes and on their Summer outings in order to do their bit. The sewing-rooms are on the second floor of the Girls' School of Trades, Four teenth and Morrison streets, and work goes on there every afternoon of the week, Saturdays excepted, from 1 to 4:30 o'clock. Miss McGregor, president of the as sociation, reports that another large shipment of goods has just been re' celved and urgently appeals to all teachers and their friends who can devote any time to the work to report for service, either to sew at their con venience in the sewing-rooms or to take work home and so relieve the pressure on those who are devoting their entire leisure to the work. It is a great patriotic duty 'and it is hoped that the privilege of partaking in it may be shared by all. In addition to the Red Cross sewing, the association recently held a bazaar under the auspices of the patriotic committee, at which $400 was netted for patriotic work. Hundreds of teachers are taking the first-aid classes, many having volun teered subject to call, and this work is being continued throughout the Summer. The teachers are alive to their pa triotic duty and have set themselves a high mark which they are deter mined to achieve. Grange Woman's Club Has Chautauqua Picnic.
