Let art- ists stand back when God stretches his canvas. A grander spectacle was never kindled before mortal eyes. Along by the rivers, and up and down the sides of the great hills, and by the banks of the lakes, there was an indes- cribable mingling of gold, and orange, and crimson, and saffron, now sober- ing into drab and maroon, now flam- ing up into solferino and scarlet. Here and there the trees looked as it just their tlps‘ had blossomed into fire. In the morning light the forests seemed set up its crimson banner, the whole forest prepared to follow.

Again; As with variety of appear- ance the leaves depart, so do we. You have noticed that some trees, at the first touch of the frost, lose all their Beauty; and they stand withered and uucomely, and ragged, waiting for the north east storm to drive them into the mire. The sun shining at noon- day gilds them with no beauty. Rag- ged leaves! Dead leaves! 50 death smut-s many. There is no beauty in ”their departure. one sharp frost of sickness, or one Last. of the cold wa- ters, and they are gone. No tinge of hope. No prospect of heaven.

People worry when some important personage msses off the stage, and say, “His place will never be taken." But neither the Church nor theState will suffer for it. There will be others to take the places. When God takes one man away, he has another right back of him. There will be other leaves as green. as exquisitely vein- ed, as gracefully etched, as well-point- ed. However prominent the place we fill, our death will not jar the world.

We The French marines from Saigon followed the United States forces. They marched with a high step and proud air, but could not equal in ap- pearance the battalion of Kaiser Wil- helm’s big sons following behind, stamping the broad paving stones with their heavy boots as they pounded out the stately “goose step” to the strains of music sent up by the band which marched in a. compact squad at their head. The German marines who did such yeoman service in the recent siege also had a place in the column. Italy was represented by a bunch of. half a hundred bluejackets, nearly alhof whom saw siege duty. Last in the line were the Austrian bluejacketa from the cruiser Zenta. ' ‘ The commencement of a salute of twenty-one guns was the signal for the procession to start, so while the booming went on the Ministers and their secretaries singled themselves out from the throng of Generals and stnff officers and fell in behind a Russian band. The Russians were the marshals of the day. They saw to the opening of the Forbidden City gates and when the Ministers had started forward the Russian General Lino- vitch and his staff fell in behind. The Russian troops followed. All the gen- eral officers in the column rode their horses through the several outer gates to the inside of the Forbidden City and the-re turned them over to the care of the orderlies, proceeding on foot. Inside the Imperial city of Pekin is a walled rectangular space half a mile long, east and west, and a qwarter of a mile broad. A moat and three walls surround the collection of yel- low-tiled pagodas and buildings, it contains, and this collection of build- ings forms the royal palace of the Chi- nese Empire.

The space in which the column gath- ered was a big letter T formed by three long avenues leading to the second gate. The Generals,'their aides and their staff officers gathered at the joining point just opposite the gate, while their respective commands came up the long pave-d roadway and manoeuvred out of the way into the weeds at either side. There was band music, bugle music, drum music and bagpipe music as each organization ar- rived and took its station. The Min- isters, their secretaries, and attaches all the guests of the Generals on this occasion, straggled up afoot or on ponies. ROMANT IN B PAGEANT PARTICIPATE!)

In a large enclosure just inside the The Russian soldiers who partici- pated in the procession had evidently just had a busy wash day, for their uniforms were whiter than’ any be- fore seen on these soldiers in the field. The baggy white trousers were tuck- ed away in heavy knee boots, and the shirt-like blouses were gathered in at the waist by straps, making many of them set with all the fulness and frills of a woman‘s basque. The sea of white wide-topped caps bobbed in a pleasing unity as the Russians cross- ed the massive marble bridge and dis- appeared through the gate. The Japanese Generals Yamaguchi, Fukushima, and Manabe, in their tight white riding breeches, shiny top boots and black coats, now took the road- way with the gentlemanly looking members of their staff.

The place was in a' direct line with the gate so the column march- ed straight through. tramping over a heavy Brussels carpet full of the chute of months and even covered with bits of straw and debris. Faded grandeur was everywhere. A huge platform, with elaborate carvings, was covered with dirt and dust, as was the throne upon it. The bronze pillars were cracked and dusty. This was the reception hall for foreign Min- isters, but evidently no Ministers had called in recent months. The servants and a high official wrung their hands at seeing these wo- men enter and forever leave their curse in so doing on the apartments of their royal master.'l‘here were rich things to see in the royal apartments but for those who had stolen in they must be seen hastily. for already the gates of the Forbidden City were be- ing looked.

Indeed, after the demonstration was over some of the most unperdon- able desecrations the palace could sus- tain, according to Chinese mum, took place, One was the entrance of for. eign women, and the other the taking of horses through the grounds. The wife of one of the Ministers and some women missionaries, each. with an es- cort of gentlemen got in during the general confusion about the outside of the north gate where troops were sending up cheers and Gene eels were going through the courtesies of the day. Here and there stood solemn groups of ennuchs, passive-1y horrified at the spectacle of foreign troops marching through the sacred grounds without so much as a bow. Almost hidden be- hind a stone column was a China- man of some rank and an officer. as his clothing indicated. He was deep- ly moved. apparently, for he looked straight ahead and now and then brushed big tears from his eyes. Diverging at Last from the straight line it had been following the column made diagonally across a huge paved court to a ga where a eunuch stead with outstretcied hand pointing the way like a statue. This gate led down to a long, narrow passageway, which seemed to be the main street of the inhabited portion of the royal city. Through open doors on our left we could see courts similar to those we had left and closed buildings on top of the various little hills reach- ed by the sets of marble stairs. There was one feature of each of these stair- ways, by the way, which made one linger, admire and wonder. The cen- tre of each stairway was occupied by A few paces further along, at the point where the route turned us west- ward, and back to the centre line stood what at onetime had evidently been a solid boulder of huge propor- tions. As if eaten out by the ele- ments and the ravages of time, this rock bore the appearance of an im- mense mass of coral. It had been hol- lowed out, and through a little door one could pass into ‘the dark interior and discern a little altar, and through the gloom see incense burning before great pewter gods. an immense marble slab, extending from the top landing to the foot, the steps being located at either side of this slab. The piece in each instance was covered with the most remarkable carving, Great dragons and serpents in bass relief extended from one ear- ner to the other, and besides these there were representations of moun- tains, flowers and animals. One of these remarkable stair slabs was ful- ly thirty feet long and a dozen feet in width. As we neared the end at the nar- row passageway, the natural beauties of the palace grounds came into View. We were marching on clean stone walks and passing through a beauti- f|l grove. One tree of this grove was evidently of great renown. It was dead, but its scraggly branches still reached into the air, for it was care- fully propped up by many strong supports. Many of these stau‘ways were fur- ther decorated at their tops by im- mense urns of solid brass. These held nothing but slimy water left by the recent rains. who. got as it on!“ In" the: north «to.

Few things are morevremarkable in the lives of great composers than the very varying conditions under which they seek inspiration and do their best work. “Well, what do you think of the Forbidden City and the palace?" a man asked a well known diplomat. “ It is the decayed headquarters of a decayed Government." he answered. The music of “Pinatore” was com- posed between the paroxysms of pain during what Sir Arthur calls a“cruel illnesa.” To quote his own words, “I would compose a few bars and than lie almost insensible from pain. When the paroxysm was passed I would write a little more. until the pain Rossini found his melodies [low most freely in bed; and it is said that every note of his first opera, “La Cambiale di Matrimonio,” was composed be- tween the sheets. 80 indolent, in fact, was this master of melody that when on one occasion he mislaid a few sheets of “L‘Equivoco ShraV'agante,” rather than take the trouble to search for them. he Wrote the score over again only to find when he had completed his task that the missing sheets were at the foot of the bed. Moat of Beethoven’s grandest works were conceived during his long, soli- tary tramps in the outskirts of Vi- enna, where, whatever the weather, the great composer, with the shabby clothes and downcast head, would plod many monotonous miles, every day weaving the melodies that made him the greatest musical magician of the world. Haydn, on the other band, could not have composed a note under such dis- mal conditions; for inspiration only came to him with powdered hair and lace ruffles and “all the glory of (ash- ionable raiment.” Sir Arthur Sullivan seems to find inspiration under the moat unfavor- able conditions. Many of his most popular melodies have come to him when travelling by rail. The man who thus can conjure sweet music from the rattling and jolting of a train, rusm ing over the country at fifty miles an hour, would surely perform prodi- g'iea of composition in a boiler tac- tory. ‘ M.

The overture to “ The Yeomen of tho Guard,” was, it is said. composed and scored in a single night. and the over tture to “ Iolanthe ” occupied him only ten hours. At midnight on the very dey before “Don Giovanni" wan to be introduc- ed Mozart had not written 3 eingle line of the overture. but was enter- taining his friends at a supper party. When he returned to his room in the early hours of the morning and com- menced hie teak his wife found it impossible to keep him awake, and he slept heavily until five o’clock. “Who is that man over there with the white, scared face !" Then, at last, he began work in earn- est. and in two hours the overture was finished. The task of copying had still to be performed; and at seven in the evening. when s crowded theatre was waiting impatiently for the per. formance to begin, the sheets had not even arrived. At last at 7.45 Mozart made his appearance; the parts, of which the ink was not yet dry, wer. distributed to the orchestra. and the overture was played without rehearsal to the thundering plaudits o! the house.
