Oer own generation Is just as fruitful as any that are gone In examples Of genius in humble life. Of our greateat living poets, William Watson first MV the light In a Warfedale farmhouse; and John Masefleld, the latest tar In the poetical Armament, found his Arst Inspiration while working In the Aelds. J. M. Barrie was born In a Klrrlemur cottage, at least as humhbe as the roof under which Thomas Oesiyle. stonemason s son, entered the world; and H. Q Wells, sou of a professional erlcketer, served behind a draper s counter before he discovered the gold In his pen. It would be an easy matter to name at least a score of living authors of repute for whom life has opened at least aa humbly, without taking Into aaoount such poets of undoubted, If obacure, genius uk a. O. Williams, h am merman; Joseph Sklpsey, the "pitmao-poet," and others, equally gifted, who have earned their daily bread by narrry work and farm labor. It is, however, among musicians that we And the most remarkable examples of talent in unexpected places. Alleeandro Bonci, the world famous singer, was working as a bootmaker's apprentice less than thirty years ago. and when he abandoned the awl to seek a fortune In his glorious voice, hs was supported by friends, poor like himself, who subscribed a few francs each per month; and was so poor that he was compelled to tramp eighteen ! miles a day, to Pesaro, and back, for his lessons. Caruso, at the same time, was wielding a blacksmith's hammer; and was serving as a private soldier when a passing officer discovered the wonder of his voice. Miss Stella Carol, when Bhe was similarly discovered, was sinking on a Hampstead pavement In the chilly dusk of a winter evening; M. Glorglni, the famous Italian singer, when he was hawking fish In the streets of Naples, and Heir Rontman whan, as a huckster, he was taking around vegetables on a wheelborrow. M. Koussellere. the king of French operatic singers, was, not so many years ago working as a blacksmith, "passing rich" on three francs a day; MUe. Cavalleri was first known to local fame as the prettiest flower seller in Rome, and her wonderful voice was first heard in Paris cafes, where her reward was a few coppers a night ?Just as. long years earler, the great Christine Nllsson, "Queen of Song," witched coppers from the frequenters of 8wedish fairs by her nightingale notes; and Miss ICvla Gwyn's voice v as "discovered" when she was "pouring out her soul in blithesome song" in a baker's shop at Pwllheli. And similar romantic stories are told of many a musician whose name today Is famous?from He it Fleldler, the Polish violinist, who was discovered by a wealthy Welsh lady in a Tyrolese cafe-chantant, to Miss Marie Hall, who but a few years ago, was reaping a scanty harvest of pence by playing In the streets. Art, like music, calls her clever children from the most unlikely places. There are half a dozen living policemen who have proved that they can ply a skillful brush, from Mr. Jones of Leeds, whose work has been honored by the Royal academy, to P. C. Rushen of the city of London force, one of whose clever canvases may be seen in the museum of the Guildhall. Walter Marshall, whose normal work is the repairing of electric tramcars. has a picture accepted l>y the academy. Nor must we forget Samuel Hancock, the lxrndoc postman, who some time ago gave em exhibition of his pictures at the Dore gallery; or Mr. Bloxall, a Somerset house porter, whose clever painting has won much admiration.
