Livestock industries were said to be in "not quite as good position u they were a year ago." Curtiiled consumption and increasing produc- tion go hand in hand to bring about a different situation.

German though he wu, he so captured the spirit of England's music that his name for the last two centuries has been o household word in Britain. Anec- dotes of Handel and his associates abound. and at the risk of being dia- curslve at times the writer will en- deevor, by their men-u, tn give a sketch of the man and his work. When Handel first saw the light his father was sixty-three years old. He was a. surgeon, but came to the determination to make a lawyer.- of the child who Nature had designed for a compose , and the struggle be- tween uature and the father may be said to have commenced - at the cradle of the future author of the "Messiah." The mild articulated musical sounds almost as soon as he began to speak. to the dismay of the stern old doctor, who discovered in- stincts which, in his eyes, were of s0 low an order that, like those of the mountebanls, they were at only to amuse the world in its idle moments. He therefore opposed his son's inclinations by all possible means. and would not even send him to the public school. for there. amongst other things, theytaught the musical scale. He banished all musical ln- struments from the house, forbade the boy to sing. and ordered that he was not to be taken to any place o! amusement where music might be heard. All in vain! He might as well have forbidden v/ntcr t0 flow! Ry collusion ni . TElﬂllYB‘ young l-landcl found himself in possession of a spinco-the precursor of the piano-which was concealed in a garret; and thither the young mu- slciau, when‘ all the household was asleep, repaired to practice upon his beloved instrument. l-lis little ﬁngers had to ﬁnd their way in the dark, but by the time he was seven years ‘old he had become a competent perform- or. ‘The poor father ultimately discov- ered the mistake he had made. By a former marriage he had a son who had become valet to the Duke. of Saxe Welsenleldt. and on setting out to visit hlm, George. then eight years old, begged to be taken but we: refused. Quietly waiting till the coach started he began to follow on loot. The father saw him. stopped the coach and commenced to scold. but. the boy- "heard him as though he heard him not" and persisted till his request vras granted-n prognos- tlcotlon of the energy and determin- ation hewas destined to display in later life. When they arrived at the Ducal palace, the boy speedily be- came a. favorite with the court mu- slcians, and at last prevailed upon the organist of the Duke's chapel to allow him to try the organ, after service. when the vv rshlppers had gone. As luck had it, the Duke was still within earshot, and not recog- nizing the style of the organist, sent a messenger to make enquiries. ‘the trembling little artiste was brought before him, and the Duke soon learned his secret. He addressed the father and mpresented to him that twee a sort of crime to stifle such genius at its birth. The old doctor had not much to say to comment coming from such a quarter, and with much hesitation-far habit wu strong-agreed to allow his son to take lemons from Zachau, the org- anist.

Britten was l. 0011 merchant in a small wey at Clerkmwell QIUI. and earned his dolly breed by crying "Small Coal l" in the streets o! Lon- don. His stock in trade he carried in a sack on his shoulders.

‘This itinerant coal-merchant en- tertained, above his stable, the mus- ical world of Umdon with wecklY \ncl gratuitous concerts from 107! to 1714- (lhe year of his death). ‘Iheliuchs es: of Queenbsbury, one of the most” celebrated o.‘ the court beauties,‘ was a very regular attendant.

After further success in the Eng- lish capitol Handel returned to Ger- many at the close of 1711, but did not long remain. He seems to have regarded his absence as a. jultlfllble holiday. but this was not the opin- ion of his employer. the Elector, and when the latter came to London u George I, he showed his displeasure by forbidding Handel to appear at the court. Fortune again favored our composer, for the King, on bearing his “Water Music" it a fete at Lem- berth, was so pleased with that eel- ehi-ated composition that he took him liito favor again, and made him a grunt of $1,000 a. year.
