H. C. Hamilton. Mozart did things early in life. There have preserved three of his compositions written when live and six years of age. While necessarily childish in form, yet they are wonâ€" derful productions for so young a mind. He was a great worker at music, and during his short life accomplish- ed a. great dealâ€"he was only 35 when he died. As a child he was able to play at a very early age, and he and his sister, some years older, were to be heard often at concerts. And what was played were the boy’s own compositions! He completed a syn'ip- bong when no more than 8 years old. When we consider that a syniphong is almost the highest form of compos- ition, requiring a knowledge of the orchestral instruments, and their capabilities, we can scarcely believe it possible. But it is said that Moâ€" zart at ten knew more than most musicians at forty. His personality was grace and‘ charm; instinct for beauty. He was the supreme utterance of absolute beauty in music. The first quality of his music is the beauty and refine- ment of his melody. Another‘striking characteristic of his music is that “Art conceals art”; its effect is such than anyone can enjoy it, yet its contexture is such that the most learned musician camonly wonder and admire. Mozart's entire being was absorbed in his art. His barber has told what a. troublesome affair it was» to shave iim. He was no sooner seated, with the cloth around his neck, than he became lost in thought, and would get up withoutsaying a word, and move from place to place, while the barber followed him, mo: in hand, It is also said that often in trying to cut his meat at the table, he found it difficult to forget he was not playing the piano. not playing the plane. But Mozart was a natural child, even with all his precociousness. His attachment for home was strong; and had a lovable disposition. In the presence of titled personages he was in no way abashed. He jumped into the lap of the Empress of Austria, did tricks at the piano with the Emperor, told Marie Antoinette that he would marry her, and when the Crown Prince, Joseph, played a wrong note or two on his violin, he cried out, "Fie, that was false.” Even as a child he was a‘conductor, and- he had to stand on a. chair in order to wield his baton. It is said that the flowers that were rained upon him nearly covered him from View. 7 Mozart’s last composition was a requiem, and he had the impression that it would be his own requiem. So it was. He was on his deathâ€"bed finishing it. Mozart’s music is not so univers- ally known as it deserves to be, but there is a great wealth of beauty to be found in his songs, masses, sym- phonic and operas. Perhaps some day his music will be more often heard, when a desire for the best in music takes the place of rag-time. The Senate has given its third 'eading: to the agricultural aid bill.

(Away from the commonplace; Why not learn why P ’ ROYAL BIRTHDAYS For more than sixty years the “Queen’s birthday” was celebrated in Canada with a fervor unknown in the mother land. It was observed not merely officially, but as a public holiday. Successiva generations of school-boys delighted to shout the rollicking rhyme, “Twenty-fourth of May is the Queen’s birthday; if you don’t give us a. holiday, we’ll all run away.” So firmly fixed was this annual institution that it was dif- ficult to realiZe that it could ever come to an end. When it could no more be obserVed as the birthday of a living monarch, public feeling in Canada demanded the continuance of the holiday under another name, and it beCame “Victoria day,” Of late years it has been preceded by exer- cises in the public schools on the 23rd, known as “Empire 21y.” The question is beginning to be seriously discussed whether Victoria day is to be regarded as established for all time. One of its advantages was that it occurred just when the Canadian spring was merging into the Canadian summer, and outdoor celebrations could be had in an en- Vironment of vernal beauty. On the accession of King Edward VII while there was every desire to render to him the same loyal homage as to the departed Queen, it was felt that the period of the year wherein his birthdayâ€"the 9th of Novemberâ€"hap- pened to fall was unfavorable to the outings and festivities so long as- sociated with such an occasion. The King himself evidently recognioed this when he signified his perfect wil- lingness that the observance of his own natal day should be limited to official reCOgnition, and that the 24th of May should, as of yore, be set apart for the general demonstra- tion. The iact that there is but an in- terval or a few days between Vic- toria day and the birthday of our present Kingâ€"the 3rd of June â€" seems to invite a reconsideration of the whole question. In the. weather, and in the. aspect of nature there is little diflerence between the ear- lier and the later date. It may, therefore. be thought that but little inconvenience would be entailed in abandoning the time honored cele- bration of the 24th of May in favor of the actual birthday of the reign- ing monarch. Yet there is some- thing to be said on the other side of the question. Canada has an im- movable holiday on the anniversary of the going into eflect of the act of confederationâ€"the lst of July. The interval between the 24th of May and Dominion day is now felt to be short enough. If we were to cele- brate the birthday of King George V instead of Victoria Day. the dis- tance between two patriotic holidays would become ten days shorter.

Electric Restorer for Men Bearing all this probably seem best to allow the pre- sent arrangement to continue un- changedâ€"at least until the children of today are old men and women. In the British House of Cornmons, a few days ago, Colonel Seeley, secre- tary oi state for war, replying to a question about the 24th of May, said, “I am aware that in many of the self-governing Lominions it is re- garded as a public holiday, and is so observed. In this country we pre- fer to obserVe the King’s birthday." But as there was always a marked difference in the way the Queen’s birthday was observed in Great Bri- tain and in Canada, we may feel at perfect liberty to go on doing as we please in the matter. In England the channs of spring may be experienced much earlier than the middie of May. In Canada they come just in time to synchronize with our annual re- minder that, British subjects as we were born, so as British subjects is it our determination to die. â€"â€" Ex- change.
