Deafness'' of ' Beethoven -
Affected His Playing.
There is a false tradition that Beet-
hoven In his later years Was able' to
play' beautifully, despite his deafness.
;This_seeneed so ineredible,to one who
has always insisted with his piano
pupile °that the, ear le the greatest
guide to good pianoforte playing," that
he carried els inveatigations to the
contemporaries of Beethoven. Finally,
a trlistwortby account of his playing
was found in the autobiography of Lud-
wig Spahr -unbiased because Spohr
was'a great friend of Beethoven. Beet:
hoven.did, not play well atter he had
lost bis. hearing,. The following is
translated "somewhat literally from
Spohrer autobiography. Spolir went to
a rehearsal at which Beethoven played
one of his trios,. He'writes:
'".Che lmpeossicn was.bad,. since Beet
hoven from the very first notes played
the piano•very poorly. It .was obvious
that Beethoven : heard literally noth'
iag,_andalso. that there was to rem-
nant he possessed
Want left of the virtuosity p s
when he had his .full powers of hear.

loud, that the -wires clashed, and le
piano passages so, softly that whole

Bell the Cat.
A very runny little'1able conies down
from the remote past, the story of
"Bell the Oat."
It seems that the mice were kept
pretty busy escaping from coati and
they knew not what to do. The cats
could creep, up very silently and as the
mice could not heat' their footsteps, it:
was a dangerous thing for any mouse' •
to do much else but keep his eyes open
for oats,
One day the king orate mice called
a general. meeting of mice and there
were millions at the place when they •
tinlo Came.
After i4 great deal of talking and.
fighting It was dec[ded that 'the best
thing to de would be to make a -large
number of belle and fasten a bell to
Beery cat so -the mine could always
]seat' the oats when they were after
them.
After a great deal et. labor metals'
were procured and everything Was'.
ready to oast a great number of bells.
Just as they were about to pour the
metal a wisp little mouse Jumped into
the ,place and sails •
"Who wili'bell the oats?"
All the miee soratched their heady
for this was• a. very strange problem
They thought about the matter for a
long time and then every mouse went
home' and forgot all about the bells.
