Rojrera, let Commercial MASTERS OF MUSIC. THE GFiEAT COMPOSERS AND THEIF J PECULIAR METHODS OF WORK. Eccentric llniiitx, aa a Rule, Are Linked With Tlila Plume ol Genius. , Unyilu'a DruMH Suit unci Samphire Ulutf and Beetnovea'a Wild Walk All the great musical composers had their oixn peculiar ideas and mannei o( working. Tliey had their pecullai traits, their moods, their eccentric ha b" its, such as are generally said to mart. the genius. In "Musical Education" M Lavigiuie tells of their peculiarities. . "Haydn was a very early .riser," he writes, "and yet he never worked ex cent in full . dress, in which ue.wu? like Uutt'ou. He began by shaving himself carefully, powdered himsell and put on his linger a certain ring, i sapphire.. 1 believe, surrounded with brilliants, which had been given liiru by the great Frederick, uuless it was Prince Ksterhasiy. .Chat done, he shut himself ui) In a quiet room and wrote for several consecutive hours, five or sis, without stopping. . : . ! "Mozart, the goutle and pious Mo, zart, was sometimes less particular and composed a little everywhere and under all conditions. " Happily the Ideas came often enough and pursued him even into the restaurants .of Vien na, Prague nnd Munich, where he was very fond of playing billiards and smoking a pipe and composing in his head. ., . . "Rossini composed almost constantly and In all ways, rarely at the piano, most often in the evening or at night, and, like Mozart, often found inspira tion in a carriage or post chaise. Id the irregular joltings of these vehicles he perceived rhythm, and of these rhythms melodies were born. There is no doubt that he would have found them in the trepidation of the railroad if he had dared to try, but he bad such a dread of this mode of locomotion that no one was ever able to induce him tc set foot in a car, .. , . , ... "Gluck composed violently gesticu latlng, walking up and down and act ing all his characters, often in the open air, on the lawn. In a garden. "Beethoven also undoubtedly found a powerful auxiliary to inspiration in motion and walking. Whatever the season, every day after dinner, which was at 1 o'clock, according to the Vien nese custom, be set out for a walk, and with big strides twice made the circuit of the city of Vienpa. Neither cold nor beat nor rain nor bail was able to stop him. Then it wasthat bis heat of fancy uuumed fts roT? uruof. . .m .j. tfk would enter a restaurant, sit dowu for uu instuui and ua'.i the stupehed waiter for the bill, without having ordered anything. His clumsiness waa pro digious. He usually broke everything 1 luiiuW. Not a 3lngle piece of fur niture iu his house, and any article of palue less than anything else, was safe from his attacks, and many times bis ink pot fell Into the piano by which he was working, ,which, religiously pre served In the museum at Bonn, still retains its Indelible traces. Althngb he had always lived in the midst of the high Viennese aristocracy, in which drawing room dances were held in high honor, he never succeeded In danc ing in time. . - 7 . "Herold composed while walking, humming or singing, often in the Champs Elysees, and often passed his best friends by without recognizing 'them. . ' i ' , .' "Gounod composed especially at the table, or at lenst in his head. , When he wrote, everything, was absolutely clear in bis brain. His manuscripts prove this. -u;, "Wagner iiked to write standing up before a large table desk like the cash desks in the shops. His scores were written without erasures, In a superb calligraphic hand, admirable for its clearness and firmness and worthy of a professional copyist, "Berlioz, who played no Instruments but the guitar, flute and flageolet, nec essarily worked at the table. "Franck. who was the head of a school, scarcely composed at all till after 0 o'clock in the evening. "Meyerbeer wrote In a regular man ner iu the evening, and his servant had orders to drag him away from 'the piano at the stroke of midnight. Schu mann would not admit that any one could write otherwise than at a table. Mendelssohn made much use of the piano' and preferred to work in the morning. Auber generally worked at night and very late, till 2 or 3 o'clock In the morning, in order to avoid out side noises. .... "Halevy had a table piano that had been made for him by Pleyel. From time to time he would draw out his key board, strike a few chords on' it, and then push it back like a simple drawer and continue to write. "Boieldieu also wrote at the piano. Feliclen David, not being much of a pianist, sometimes sought the aid of bis violin. Adolphe Adam almost al ways worked at his grand piano, the right hand side of whose keyboard was stained with innumerable splashes of ink. He played eight, ten or twelve bars, and then wrote them down. Bizet worked psnpnlnlly. In the, evening; nnd still more at nlgut; he often made use I of a piano bureau by Pleyel, like Goo- nod and Halevy." Hla Gue. rr "Where were they married?" . "I ain't Jest sure," answered the small boy. " 'cause they left me home. ! but I guess it waB in the steeple." I "In the steeple?"

A certain minister, while passing down the village street, observed one ot his parishioners seated at bis cofc tage door supping bis broth. . Thinking this an unusual proceeding, he stopped and asked him what waa the matter. "Oh," replied John; "the chlmley la reeking a bit, so I cam' outside te sop ma broth.
