time, 30 seconds, and must pull up short
and rest awhile Poor things How
easily they are exhausted The congre-
CATION placidly gazes up at the singing
seats to see If the dear soprano is weary,
and only discover her talking with the
tenor man, while the alto is studying the
spring styles and the bass is eyeing the
style-wearers. The poor organist has no
rest. While these rest he exhibits solo
stop, and shows how nimble his right
hand fingers are He rambles sweetly
on in improvised vaculty, gets out of the
key, and then, in little fright, stumbles
awkwardly back again. Then the sweet
singers take up their lay, and four more
lines are executed (same speed, 80 Sec
onds.) Then the organist meanders
again, and the congregation yawn, medi-
tate upon their dinners, and wonder
when the seven verses will be executed.
AT last the eight times repeated tune and
FIVE interludes are finished, the long suf'
fering people brighten up, and they go
cheerfully home with sustaining sense
of duty done.
When the congregation sing the case
still more dreary. Unless the organist
simply plays the last line, or is musi-
clan of skill, culture and Judgment, the
people have most unhappy time of it..
We know of no greater infliction that can
fall upon company Of people than that
of bad interludes. The amount of ankle
ty, suspense and teverish expectancy
that poor organist can stir up in the
singing of one hymn by playing original
interludes is past belief. Where he only
plays the last line and nothing more, the
case is relieved of some Of its most un-
happy features. The people have some
general notion of the length of the inter
lude, and are not so terribly anxious
about the proper time to attack the next
four lines. Some organists, with ten
der regard for the choir and congrega-
ton, play carefully prepared interludes
from q book and think they are doing a
very commendable thing Their inten-
tons are good and the results less her-
rowing, but the uninstructed congrega-
ton suffers almost as much as if the in
terludes were all of that distressing type
Known as "improvised interludes.
And where in all this ia the hymn2
When the minister read it the people
were charmed and stirred by its noble
beauty, or moved to almost tears by its
pathos and sweetness. Poor hymnl By
the interluding process it is sawn up
alive into shapeless Jumps Its outline
is destroyed and falls dead Whatever
the character of the interludes, be they
in perfect character with the hymn, they
tend to destroy aud injure it.

This is an evidence of the era OF good

Concerning organ Interludes.
H.. A.. ~ W.. II.-.,.z JJ1


The real writer's of hymns, the men
and women whose souls are touched with
fire and who write the golden lyrics and
verses that stir the hearts of allthe world,
the true singers of the church, never
make the book makers mistake and give
sound for sense. A hymn is like a dia.
mond in river of sand and alluvial
rubbish. 1t has light of its own, it
glows and sparkles with true thought or
a real experience. Ii is whole, perfect
and complete. The verses all belong to-
gether. If the minister, with a tender
regard for wsiting dinner tables, say
"the choir may omit the last verse, he
ruins it utterly. The hymn makers work
will stand this kind of mutilation without
injury, for it is only paste. The true
hymns, the diamonds in the rosary of the
churches, cannot be delivered in lots to
suit.
Hymns are commonly divided into
verses. We never could discover why
they should be. A hymn ought to be as
much whole unbroken piece of music
as a sonnet. They must have been
originally divided into verses, because
the writer's had a new idea in every
verse, and the hymn was not a single
thought, but several strung together.
Some of the paste hymns, and those me-
lancholy productions marked written
for this OCCASION belong to this class,
and are very properly chopped up into
verses. Nobody would recognize them
if they were not. However it came about,
it is certain that all hymns, good and
bad, are divided into verse. In reading
a hymn no one pays the least attention
to them. In singing it undue attention
is given to the verse division, and the
diamond is Clipped into valueless bits.
Very few listeners can distinguish the
verse divisions when the hymn is read by
a skilltHl reader, much less can they
count the verses or tell how many lines
there may be in each. These verse d.
visions are not fixed, and if our hymns
were printed in close type, with no spaces
between the verses, the listener weuld
never know the difference. We are not
in favor of giving up verses. 1t is the
custom to make them in all hymn books.
and many hymns are divided in such
way that the verses seem natural and
convenient Our aim is to show that In
reading ahymn aloud the verse divisions
are not essential and hardly noticed. If
the hymn were printed without verses.
the books would gain in appearance, the
reader would gain in ease of reading,
aud the listener would lose nothing.
Now, if this is so, why should the choir
and congregation pause and come TO a
dead stop for a minute or more at every
verse when singing a hymn2 The min
lister pays no attention to the verses, and
the singers give them decided promi-
nence. Why should they2 Nobody
seems to know.
There is a vague suggestion that the
choir need rest between the verses.
They are worn out and fatigued with the
labor Of performing four lines, running

How She Dresses Her Dainty Self
for Opera.


for Opera.
Correspondence Of the Toledo Blade.I
The Countess Seidlewitz is a celebra-
ted court beauty, and is lady of honor to
the Princess Carl, a sister of the EN-.
press. She sat next to me, as only the
partition of the box was between us, and
she was the most beautiful woman saw
perfectly imperial, in fact, white and
magnificent as lily. Her features
were perfectly regular, and she had a
proudly-cut mouth, and such dazzling
little teeth. Then her arms, neck and
shape were exquisite. She wore the
severest kind Of dress, and one that
only beauty could have borne. 1t was
white silk, with an unusual train,
Of course. and without overskirt,
simply caught up in great puff
behind. The waist was made with a
small basque, but very low, and with
bugle fringe, and then there were two or
three rows of this fringe in front, grad
uating to the waist, smaller and smaller,
and going around the basque All the
front breadth of the skirt was laid in
folds of satin, in groups Of three, and on
the edge of every third row was the fringe
again, graduating wide and wider toward
the bottom In her hair she wore a
wreath of white verbenas, or snow-balls
and green leaves. Her sole ornament
was magnificent diamond locket, and
earrings of some curious design, the
locket depending from fine gold chain
which challenged all observers to notice
the faultessness of the neck. One sly
bit of coquetry was visible in two natural
howers-liliesofthe valley, with their
leaves, which she had stuck in her corss ge
so that they should rest against her neck
and show that they were not whittier than
her skin. You see that there were no
folds anywhere The whole dress hung
in long lines, and showed the contour of
the fgsre nothing but these fringes
which cleaned and waved with every
motion, to relieve it-not even a bit of
black velvet anywhere, for the lace round
the neck was drawn through with white
silk thread There was another lady in
the same box whose dress was very beau
tiful, too, though she herself was not.
1t was green silk with green tulle
overdress puffed, and with ears of silver
wheat scattered over it. The tunic was
of silver Grape, the bottom cut in seal
lops and trimmed with silver wheat. A
wisp of wheat was knotted round her
neck for a necklace, and q perfect sheaf
of it in her hair. 1t was an exquisite
dress.

Tho Effects OF Music.
From the London News.l

| From the London News. $500
One day q certain violin player saw
that dog beside him was most singu-
larly exercised by particular sounds
! The animal howled, and seemed to be
/ suffering the most cruel agony. The
musician was much struck by this fact;
and, instead of ceasing and letting the
poor brute recover, he continued these
particular sounds, until, after a success
sion Of piercing cries and horrible con-
vulsions, the unhappy brute died. Peo-
Pile should not laugh at this story in an
incredulous manner, for there are hu-
man beings-so the popular belief runs
who are sometimes compelled by their
friends to listen to such efforts in the
way of violin playing that it is only
good manners that prevent them giving
way and groveling on the floor. rs it not
! obvious" says the author, that this
dog was destroyed by these sounds as
it might have been by a discharge of
electricity? Not less remarkable are
the effects which have been produced
by concert on the elephants in the Jar
don des Plantes The air, 20 ma ten
dre musette," when played on the bas-
them a mild ecstasy; whereas, the brill
liant " Ca ira performed by the whole
orchestra, has caused these revolutionary
animals to utter joyous cries, while their
thick hides were seen to move with emo
ton. Indeed, the effect OF music on
animals is known to pretty nearly every
school girl who has a pet dog. When
she is practieing her pieces, her relatives
can keep out of the way, so that their
expressions of sensation are unknown;
but Dio howls and crawls under chair
or Carlo joins in chorus with a series
of barks. OF the cases quoted Of hu-
man beings saved by music we shall
only mention two, which have been
transferred to the columns of the
French newspapers. One is that
fell into a violent fever, which culmin-
ated in delirium of a very wild sort.
He asked to have little concert in his
room. They sang for him some songs
of Bernier. Ten days Of this musical
treatment = accompanied by bleeding
the feet twice--cured him, a most re-
markable cure indeed. Then there
was an old lady who was healed of cata-
lepsy by the warlike sounds of trum-
pet; and this story gives one Of the
French critics the opportunity of telling
another story of Paudelaire. Once
upon a time he presented a small boy
with very large trumpet; and when
some one asked him whether he loved
children so much as to give them, with
out apparent reason, a present of this
sort, he replied innocently, Oh, no;
but it is so dsagreeable to the parentsr'
We hope that hospitals for the cure Of
patients by means of trumpets will be
removed from the immediate neighbor-
hood of inhabited thoroughfares.
