Beethoven.
Richard Wagner. g

If we survey the progress which mtl-
sic has made under Beethoven from a
historical point of view, we may briefly
describe it as the attainment of a facul-
ty which had previously been denied to
it; by virtue of this faculty music, from
the confines of aesthetical beauty, strides
into the sphere of the sublime; and in
this sphere it has been released from
all constraint of traditional or conven-
tional forms, and it completely pene-
trates and animates these forms with
its proper spirit. And this achieve
ment appears evident to every human
heart and mind by the character Bee
thoven has impaired to the chief form
of all music-melody; for melody has
now regained the highest natural SIM
plicity, as the source from which it can
be renewed and inyigorated at any time
and for any requirement. and expand
ed to the highest, richest variety. And
we may group all this under one head,
Ineligible to every one. Melody,
through Beethoven, has become eman-
cipated from the influence ofsfashion
and fuctuating taste, and elevated to
an ever valid, purely human type.
Beethoven's music will be understood
at any time, while the music of his
predecessors will, for the most part, re-
main ineligible only through the me-
dunn of light thrown upon it by the
history of art. 10 ~

Origin of the Horseshoe Superstition.

In the very early times, says writer
in Baldwin's Monthly, among the Gel
tic race an efigy of the patron saint, SO
common in churches and temples, was
much used in the dwellings and work
shops of the people, as so-called ''pro-
tection'' against ill-fortune. The ''glo-
ry'' above the head of these figures
which later was often rudely cared in
wood and painted--was represented by
q circular piece of polished metal, to
convey the effect of the shining halo or
nimbus, frequently seen in illustrations
of the Virgin and other scripture sub
jects. Often this metal nimbus was of
semi-circular form, and after the figure
itself had disappeared by reason
Of decay, the nimbus remained and
was suspended in some prominent
place at the entrance door, or other
point commanding view The efigies
in question were not uncommonly
seen by the side of the doorway. In
course of time the nimbus was much
used as substitute for the latter, and
was sold in shops for this purpose. The
tradition of good luck, as embodied in
the horseshoe theory, may thus be easily
traced, since it became common Oc-
currence for the faithful adherent in the
belief in charms and symbols to adopt
the horseshoe, worn to brightness, in
the absence of any other, which he
nailed over his cottage door. Hence
piece of metal of this shape became as
sociated in the common mind with SUI
pernatural presence and care, in keep
ing with the belief attaching to the
original figure of the patron saint.

The Candidate.

sFatner, who travels the road so latef7
"Hush, my child. it's the candidate;
Fit example of human woe
Early he comes and late he goes.
He greets the women with courtly grace,
He kisses the baby's I.fty face,
He calls TO the fence the farmer at work,
He bores the merchant, he bores the clerk.
The blacksmith, while his anvil rings
He greets, and this is the song he sings;-
"Howdy, howdy. howdy-do?
How is your wife, and how are you?
All! it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the working man."
Husband, who is that man at the gate?"
flush my love, It's the candidate"
Husband, why can't he work like you2
"Has he nothing at home to do?"
My dear. whenever man is down..
No cash at home. no credit in town,
Too stupid TO preach and too proud to beg,
Too timid to rob and too lazy to dig,
Then over his horse his legs he filings
And to the dear people this song he sings:
"Howdy. howdy, howdy-dof
How is your wife, and how are you?
All! it fts my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the working man.
Brothers. who labor early and late,
Ask these things Of the candidate:
what's his record? How does he stand
At home; no matter about his hand.
Be it hard or soft, so it be not prone
To close over money not his own.
Has he in view no thieving plan?
Is he honest and capable ?-he is our man.
Cheer such one till the welkin rings,
Join in the chorus when thus he sings:
"Howdy, howdy, howdy-do?
How is your wife, and how are you?
All! it fits my fist as no other can,
The horny hand of the working man"

Money Getting.

The man who uses up every energy
in the one object of making money, and
who gauges the value Of everything ac-
cording to the opportunities it affords
of increasing his stocks and bank bal
ance, is throwing away not only the
beauty, but much of the usefulness OF
his life. For money is but one means
to happiness; it is nothing in itself,
nothing when separated ftom the wis
aom that knows how to use it and the
energy that extracts value and beauty
out of it. That life is not worth living
that is wholly absorbed in gaining mon
ey and sinks away exhausted in the eff
fort. 1t is like that of the wood-cutter
who should use all his hours of labor in
diligently sharpening his axe.

Hunting the Moose,

Moose calling commences about the
1st of September and ends about the
18th of October. A full moon occur
ring between the middle and end of Sep.
TENDER is the best of all times. The
best plan in calling is to fix upon per-
manent camp and make little expedi-
tons of two or three days duration
from it, returning to rest and get fresh
supplies. Then you enjoy the true lux
ury of hunting. Then you feel really
and thoroughly independent and free.
The Indian carries your blanket, your
coat, little tea, sugar and bread, a
kettle and two tin pannikins The hum
ter has enough to do to carry himself,
his rifle, ammunition, small axe, hunt
ing knife, and pair Of feld-glasses.
Thus accoutred, clad in flannel shirt
and homespun combinations, moose
hide moccasins on your feet, your trous-
ers tucked into woollen socks, your
arms uncncumbered with that useless
article, coat, you plunge into the
woods, the sun your guide in clear
weather, your pocket-compass if it is
cloudy, the beasts and birds and fishes
your companions; and wander through
the wood at will, sleeping where the
fancy seizes you, ''calling" if the nights
are calm, or still hunting on windy
day. Calling is the most fascinating,
disappointing, exciting of all sports.
You may be lucky at once and kill your
moose the first night you 60 out, per-
haps at the very first call you make.
You may be weeks and weeks, perhaps
the whole calling season, without get
ting shot. Moose-calling is simple
enough in theory; in practice it is inn
mensely difficult of application. 1t
consists in initiating the cry of the ami
NAL with hollow cone made of birch
bark, and endeavoring by this means
to call up moose near enough to get
a shot at him by moonlight or in the
early morning. He will come straight
up to you, within few yards-walk
right over you Understanding,
speaking" as the Indians term it, as
he comes along, if nothing happens to
scare him; but that is great .J.-Ears
of Dunraven.

Madame Hopkins, an 0ld-F Fashioned Lady.
From the Roston Post t

from tne Boston fOSC.
Rockpoint is the peninsula which
closes in Burlington Bay on the north
west, and being high rocky bluff, COM
mands the most exquisite view of Bur-
lington, with its background of Grren
Mountains, that can be imagined. The
point forms part of an estate which is
now held by the church in Vermont as
the Episcopal residence. But as the
present diocesan has had second resi-
dence presented him in Burlington, he
has left the Rockpoint estate to the
venerable Madame Hopkins, widow of
the late Bishop, for her use during her
lifetime. zee
This venerable lady, now 50, is one
of the most remarkable women of her
day. All the time of her married life,
fifty-two years, she was always at the
head of large family She was the
mother of thirteen children who were
all educated at home by their parents,
assisted by their mother S sister, Eleven
of these children lived to maturity. In
addition to Mrs. Hopkins many domes-
tic achievements, she assisted her
husband from the earliest years of his
ministry in the management OF his
large schools. During nearly q year
the responsibility of experimenting a
family of 1OS persons fell upon her, her
husband being absent; yet at that time
her youngest child was but an infant OF
nine days! She still speaks fuently
English, German and French, having
been born in Hamburg, and at one
time could play on seven instruments
besides.
She wrote remarkably well. While
visiting her the other day the writer
heard her play on the piano one of Mo
zart's shorter sonatas, learned when she
was little girl. AS wife, mother.
teacher, housewife, and in her social
capacity, Madame Hopkins filled to an
extraordinary degree the ideal of wom-
anhood. She is now only waiting, as
she says, to join her idolized husband,
whose mortal remains lie entombed but
few rods distant from his home when
living.

Open Secrets in Cookery.

Both doctors and epicures agree upon
rare meat the former for digestion,
the latter for taste, and that all meats
and game are the better for slight cook
ing, with the exception of veal and pork
that they do not recommend at all.
It is quite common, now, for the physi-
clan to order sandwich of rare beef
that is, slice of uncooked beef, minced
fine, seasoned, and spread between two
thin slices of bread-as far more nourish-
ing for weak digestion than cooked
meats. 1t is only the idea of rawness,
it seems, that is in the way, and not the
taste, as when it is out of sight most
people can learn to like this rarest of
beef. The same reason that ordains the
juice must run in the leg OF mutton
when the knife goes in, and that the
game must only Fly past the kitchen
fire, is behind this, and herein is why
broiled meats are so delicate and palat-
able.
The outside is so quickly cooked that
the Juices within are not effected by the
fire. just what happens to milk when
it is boiled, the thickening of the skin
on top, and what is seen also in hard
boiled egg, occurs in meats; the albu-
men-the nourishing quality-is harden
ed and toughened when meats too long
exposed to heat. So the careful house
wife who puts her meat in the oven
early, well sailed, and watches it from
time to time as all the juices draw out
of it with the salt and the heat, until a
hard brown round or rib is ready to be
put on the table, has really extracted
from the meat almost all its nourish-
ment, and gives the family mass of
dried fibres to chew. This also explains
why much (and most) frying spoils
good meat. The surprise as aFrench
cook says; is the main thing. You
must have a hot oven for whatever is to
be roasted, and bed of very hot Goals
for broiling, OF fat that is hot enough to
send up blue smoke for whatever is to
be fried. Then the outside is Immediate
" hardened over, and the rest of the
process must depend upon the size of
piece. The trouble with most frying is
that the fat is not hot, the meat, or fish,
or mush, or oysters are left to sazzle a
long time, until they gradually brown,
by which time they are dry and tasteless.
But the sudden plunge into smoking

change of color on the surface shows,

juices intact. But the joints must not
be suffered to burn, and the oven must
be cooled off little as soon as the out
side is well coated. After this the old
rule of fifteen minutes to apound can be

meat must be elastic to the pressure of

Fish also must be rapidly cooked;

the juices of all these must not be

According to DR.. S. Gibbon, q Lon
don health-oficer, the Jews are the

from tubercular and scrofulous faint.
1t is very rare that one meets with pull

Irish, it is forty-three per thousand.
Senator Cameron has erected his new
house as nearly as possible on the true
meridian from which longitude is reck-

true meridianal lines running due north
and south, one of which passes through
the capitol and the other directly
through the white house and out Six
teenth street, which used to be called
Meridian street. On the corner of this
street, where it is intersected by Massa-

N street, Senator Cameron's house is

The question of corporal punishment

Teachers of both sexes use personal

Some put children into painful and
even dangerous positions; some shake
