The Art of Listening to Music.

A writer in Scribner's says: There is no
greater delusion than that of supposing that
the best music can be enjoyed only by the
musical Ordinary people can derive keen
pleasure from sympathetic listening to great
music if they will but believe that they can,
and SO attend to it accordingly. There is no
need of being baffied by a want of knowledge
concerning KEYS; nor by an ignorance Of
meditation. Your next neighbor may know
that the air began in G major, and then
passed into B minor, but you can get your
own simpler pleasure out of it.
What is it to zoe what Titan s secret of color
might have been? He had it, and that is
enough for one who cannot even draw. The
first rule in listening to music is-to listen.
We do not want to arouse ourselves to a
frenzy of delight, but we do want to hear
what the music is like. A very simple and
very good rule for those who are perplexed by
an orchestra, and who fancy they are puzzled
to know where the tune comes in, is to listen
to one instrument, the violins, for instance,
alone for time.
These will probably take up the melody
and sing it plainly enough, then the move
ment may become more complicated, and the
air seems to have grown more f1orid, to be
broken, perhaps into brilliant fragments.
But hearken the violoncelli have taken it
up, and over it floats this new and lovely
strain of violins, then the flutes catch the
melody, the comets and the bassoon swell
the harmony, the drum makes its rhythmic
beats, the whole orchestra is alive with the
theme, and before you know it yon are in the
very center Of the music, and what was be-
fore involved and intricate now becomes plain
and beautiful"

Allen for President.
Toledo Democrat

"If William Allen carries Ohio next time by
a sweeping majority, why. William Allen will
be the next President of the Cnited States. "
Louisville COurier-JOuTndl
Our Louisville contemporary expresses the
sentiment of the masses of the Democratic
party, wherever the people are left free and
not worked up by combination of scheming
politicians to put forward some man in the
interest of Cabinet slate already made up.
Every man who has had any thing to do with
the selection of delegates or the action of
National Conventions Of either party,
knows that there are innunerable
Presidential rings in both parties, formed
with distinct understanding as to the man
to BE- put forward, and if successful, the dis
position he is to make Of the several posi-
tons. When Fremont was nominated. an
extended slate was agreed apon among those
who controlled the convention that made
him the Republican candidate for President.
Buchanan was nominated at Cincinnati on a
slate made by John w. Forney, who had a
letter of authority from Old Buck, which he
exhibited when necessary. Efforts, similar
to those " hich defea ted the express I'd will of
the masses in 1874, will be made to control
the nomination of the next Democratic
candidate. and tho mon engaged in
these schemes will be all the more
persistent. because Of the now apparent GER
tsinty of the election Of q Democratic Presi-
dent. If the people are not tempered with
by the specious representatives OF schemers,
Allen, if reelected Governor of Ohio by an
increased majority, which is now indicated
beyond all reasonable doubt, will be the nomi-
nee of the National Convention, and the
"next President of the United States" He
is the peoples choice and not the favorite of
politicians, who are for him because of his
overwhelming strength with the masses
The unbending integrity Of Allen, and strict
adherence to his convictions of duty, make
the politicians little shy of Uncle William;
bus there can be no division in Ohio. in the
OF his name to the Convention.

PROTECTION AGAINST ANTS.
To the Druggists Circular:

To the Druggists Circular:
am an occasional reader Of your journal,
through kindness of friend. see many in
quiries made by correspondents for protec-
ton against ants My process for protection
was discovered by John II. Pope, druggist,
New Orleans. Observing that ants carefully
svoided castor-oil in any shape, while they
would ravenously attack other vegetable oils,
he made stand on short turned legs, and
turned shaped with the castor-oil, not an ant
could travel over it, and thus everything
placed on the stand was safe.
In my storeroom used common grocers
frame stand, on we'll painted turned legs,
about three inches high. These legs were
smeared, as have described, twice or three
in twelve months. My sugar, syrup, pre-
serves, ETC., placed on this stand, were never
touched by an ant. The stand and its con-
tents should be removed from contact with
the wall of the house or any other surface
unprotected by the oil
The under side Of the turnings or curves
are smeared in preference, because the oiled
surface is less liable to become clogged with
dust, which, by accumulation, would make
pathway for the ant. DocTca.
Toronto, Ont, November, 1874.
p. S. The legs OF tables may stand in shall
low dishes of castor oil.
Editor Bulletin:
Finding the above in the Druggist Circular,
and having tested the use of castor oil against
auts more than fifteen years, 1 think your
readers will profit by the information. Castor
oil has been found very effectual in keeping
ants away from orange and other fruit trees.
An easy method is to smear lampwick with
the oil and tie it around the base OF the tree
It has been found to answer as we'll on rose
bushes and other plants. 1t may also be
poured around the roots OF trees.
