Argosy. FOREIGN Shy-cow-sk- to n MUSICIANS. Tha EnglLli Style of Tronounclng Tliclr Name la lu Greatest Vogue. Tho pronunciation of the names of foreign musicians is n subject with regard to which the average liriton is dlsixMcd to claim ami exercise the most unrestricted freedom. The result is not usually such as would load to self identification by tho unhappy owners of the names themselves. Several organs of tho musical press have legun discussing the matter with tho view of protecting tho foreign musician from nominal mutilation at the hands of his admirers and of bringing something like harmony out of the present state of chaos. One writer states that at a recent conference of musicians he heard tho namo of a foreign musical celebrity pronounced In four different ways by as many speakers. Tschaikowsky was alluded to by one instead of speaker os as tho composers namo ought approximately to bo pronounced. Although sufficiently serious, this is less disconcerting than tho American reproach against English name orthography in general that wo write a word Beauchamp and pronounce it Bcechain. Still, a more rational method of translating proper names from languages which, like Russian, havo an alphabet entirely different from our own is much to bo desired. There is really no reason why wo should retain the German w in such names as Tschaikowsky, Paderewski and Turgenicv. The Russian letter is v, although it has the power of f before hard consonants and at tho end of most words. The general substitution of v would at least give tho death blow to such mispronunciations as Paderoosky. The adoption of tho suggestion that Sir George Grove or some other authority should complete a pronouncing vocabulary of foreign musicians names might prove useful to tho student, but the infrequent concert goer would probably remain uninfluenced. Tho too deferential Baboo, when asked how his somewhat formidable name was to be pronounced, politely answered, As you d n please. . This, it is to be feared, will continue to bo the rule with the majority of foreign musicians. London News. Chy-koff-sk- Bert-- y i, A Japanese Dinner. He found the great room up stairs half full of people, who were seated in a semicircle at one end, writes Mrs. Mimoli C. Fraser in Tho Pall Mall Magazine. Char-ten- s was a little late, and the rest had begun the indescribable meal "which is called Japanese dinner. All tho strangest products of earth, regardless of precedence, hustle each other on the small square table ixjforo the guest and little by little overflow its bounds and are placed on the floor around him a growing nebula of tiny plates, many of which he will not touch if he be wise. What strikes him first perhaps is the uncanny familiarity of some of them.

But the circumstance is in exactly these guilds became the chief guilds of ordinary towns and they were very likely tho first to band together In self defense all tho guilds originating in this way, but tho goldsmiths jerhaps first of all, since tho old law in regard to smiths was so extremely severe as to call for somo union on their part. Tho old law In regard to a goldsmith found guilty of defrauding was based on tho principle that n goldsmith can most easily deceive, and that when he docs so lie Is tho vilest of sinners. Tho king Is therefore directed to see to it that a goldsmith found guilty of cheating 6hall bo chopped up into very small pieces with sharp knives, whereas ordinary thioves or cheats are merely behoadod. By uniting together and ostracizing a guilty member the guild could inflict a punishment which, if it was not so severe, probably had a still more deterrent effect.
