A 111µsical Scrap. Did you ever' think of making a mu- sical scrap -book? Now is the time to colleot matter for it; and girls or boys who are studying music will especially enjoy it, because it will make musicians and composers more real, and their ideas leas of a vague tradition. Ib is much' more interesting, and easier, for example, to study a Schubert impromp- tu when you know something of the man's .life. In the first place, get the pictures of as many of the famous musicians, both instrumental and vocal, as pos- sible. These need not be expensive photographs, but lithographs and prints small as are found on many concert pro- grams and published in daily news- papers. For the musicians of the past, one can often find pictures of them in old magazines, and can supplement them with an occasional photograph. Arrange these pictures chronologically, or according to nationality, or both - singers, pianists, and violinists, and the like, in separate groups. Then read up about them. There is plenty of criticism and description in papers and magazines of the famous singers and players of to -day; and ane can readily secure at least one account of their lives and manners, with the pictures, choosing a description that seems to give the best idea of the mu - amen. The encyclopaedia or musical history will have to be consulted for accounts of other musicians; and from them a brief descriptioneau ,' he writ- ten, telling the dates of birth and death, where the life was chiefly passed, the greatest works and triumphs, and the characteristics of the style of the com- poser's music or the performer's art. Personal anecdotes of musicians float frequently through books and period- icals, and theywill increase the scrim - book's interespDoing this will regwre reading ; but one will soon know a lit- tle of what goes on in the musical world; of the rendering of famous com- positions, of the skill. and voices of exe- cutants, and of the characters taken by well-known singers in operas and oratorios. Before long one will not only have made a scrap -book of general' musical information, Abut will have taken several steps towards being an inteiligent mu- sician,, while the daily practice will be made less dull and tiresome, Toddletum's Dream. The boys who play ball will all be glad to hear of a way to have lots of fun without getting hurt. Do the way Toddletums did -dream about it. He got up in the morning and said; "011, papa, I had a bully dream last night. Want to hear about HS" "Why, yes, Toddletums. Let's hear what it was." "Dreamt I was dead and playing baseball among the stars." "Well, Toddletums, I am sorry to Lear you speak of that as, a 'bully dram." "But it was, papa. I was no more than dead when I got among a lot of spirits, big fellows all dressed in white, and theylmowed right away 'bout my being the best catcher on the Rang - town nine, ao the first thing they said was, 'Hurray 1 here's our great catcher at last,' and before I knew it I was catching back of one of those big white fellows and, what do you think, he was using the tall of a comet for a bat. 'Way off in the distance (say, they have awful big diamonds up there) was an- other fellow pitching, and all he did was to pluck one of the stars out of the Milky Way and throw it at me for a baseball. Say, papa, you've seen those falling stars? Well, they say they're meteors. Now that's nonsense, 'cause they`re the balls the catchers up there misses. By-and-by our side (that's the Com- ets, you know) got in, and the score stood 15 to 0 in favor of the Milky Ways. By-and-by it was my turn at the bat, and I felt kind of afraid, 'cause the comet'stail looked awful bright, but I seized it and swung it round two or three times, and it didn't burn a bit. One ball I ' cried the umpire as the pitcher sent a star singing past me (and it wasn't fair either, 'cause they pitohod it when I was trying to bat). I braced myself for the next one, and then that pitcher thought he'd fool me. Making out to snatch a ball from the Milky Way, he turned around, and, reaching 'way out, what do you think he did I' Why, bo grabbed our world, that; we're living on, and threw it at me, with all his might. Well, they couldn't knock' out the Rengtown catcher that way, for I just stvipng the bat around, and Int the world an awful crack. I bursted that comet bat all to ppieces and bit a foul. I looked up,, and there was the world a -cumin' right down into my hands. II was a fine chance, and I couldn't let it pass, and I just caught it.
