Hlrtb of Chopin's Funeral March. Few people are awun, of the extraonllnary clreurastanors under which Chopin compostd his famous "Dead March.” Tho story is told by the Paris mrresiiondent of the London Post. It soems that thr Inspiration name to Chopin In the studio of M. Zlem In the Rue la-ple and was saggvstrd by a story told him by that artist. M. Zlem liad I cm one evening to the ste* dlo of Prlnon Kdniond do Ptdlgnac with Comte de Lodra and M. dr Yaldrome. There was a skeleton In the studio, and among other bohemian whimsicalities Prince Edmond placed the skeleton tin a nliatr In front of tic piano and guidtsl Its finger* over the keys. ''Some time later on/ 1 Bays M. Zlom, "Chopin came into ms studio just as George Sand depict* him, the Imagination haunted hy tic legtpds .if the land of fog*. Is-rtogv-d hy nameless shales.
