GIBRALTAR'S STRENGTH.
The Siege and Capture of the Famo,
Military Qualification.

The Siege and Capture of the Famous
Military Fertilization.
French and Spanish troops. 10000 in
number; for four long years, from June,
1879, till February, 1888, beleaguered
the fortress of Gibraltar, then held by
General Eliot, with garrison of 1000
men. The enemy erected batteries
right across the sandy isthmus, while
in the bay they held forty-seven ships OF
the line and ten gathering ships be-
sides countless lesser craft. One night
the rock narrowly escaped being taken
by surprise. A goaiherd having under
taken to guide the Spaniards by path
unknown to the English. 500 troops
followed him one dark night and crept
silently to hollow called the Silletta
or little chair. and thence to the signal
station, where they slew the guard.
There they awaited reinforcements
from below; these, however, were de-
layed. and the garrison meanwhile
were aroused. and sallying forth drove
back the invaders. The Silletta was
Immediately filled up and the path
utterly destroyed and made inaccessible
and the siege wore on through weary
months. At last a furious genera
attack was met by an incessan,
fire of red-hot balls on the
enemy's fleet Give thousand were
thrown In one day., till at length the
battering-ships took fire, as, owing to
the thickness Of their timbers. the red
hot balls sank deep into the wood and
could not be dislodged. The scene that
ensued in the darkness of that terrible
night must have been awful indeed; and
so fearful were the groans and shrieks
of the wounded and dying that brave
Englishmen forbore to let Their foes
perish in the flames, and ventured to
their rescue, the marine brigade being
foremost in this work of mercy. which
added fresh laurels to their victory 1t
was said that in this engagement the
Spaniards lost three thousand men, y lille
the garrison had only sixteen killed, and
the damage done to the fortress was re-
paired in few hours. A few days later
formidable English fleet came to the
relief of the town, the siege was raised,
and Britain once more left in undisputed
possession of the stronghold, which in
the days of Queen Anne. she had &C
quired as q sort of luckpenny. while
fighting on behalf of the Archduke
Charles, in whose name it had been
seized by Sir George Rookie, July "a,
1904, who surprised it when garrisoned
by only eighty men. OF course, our
holding Gibraltar is an arrangement
about as pleasant for Spain as 1t would
be to England to see French garrison
in full possession of Dover castle and
fortifying impregnable galleries in
Shakespeare cliff beneath the protec-
ton of which all manner of smugglers
might find safety, whereas any rash
revenue cutter venturing within range
would be forthwith fired at and proba-
bly, sunk. No wonder that Spain would
fain reclaim this heaven-built bulwark
Of her shores.-Betgravia.

EARLY MUSIC.
The Character of the Music Used by the
Puritan Fathers.

Puritan Fathers.
They had in England ransacked organ
galleries, burnt music books and dis
solved choirs, but in this country they
introduced congregational singing,
brought over their psalm tunes, and for
seventy years the settlers of Plymouth
used the psalter of Henry Ainsworth,
Amsterdam. The second book printed
in British America was the boy psalm
book in 1910, which went through sew
entv editions. Rev. John Cotton, a
graduate of Oxford, who had removed
to Boston from its namesake place in
England. argued in favor of solo sing
ing and of women joining in the leading
parts. John Cotton, therefore, was the
only Cotton that ever was king about
Boston, and the big organ in that city
is one of his posterity.
However, only about ten tunes were
used In New England in the first ninety
years. The very art of singing ran so low
that the preachers themselves, who gen.
orally led the progress of their denomi-
nations, became frightened. In 1928 a
preacher named Simms published book
prefaced with the motto: "Of all beasts
there is none that is not delighted with
harmony. but only the ass" One of
the points he had to combat was that
the names given to the notes we're
bawdy and blasphemous. The congre-
cations, however, long resisted their
pastors, and the pastors often had to
lead the psalms, while few of them had
any pretensions to music.
Down to our great rebellion the same
antipathy to music continued through
large part of the Christian church,
and to this day musical instruments are
forb dden in the houses Of the Dunkers
and some other sects. The first revolu-
ton was to have singing schools; as the
puritan period faded away persons OF
more cultivation joined the American
colonies. Playford was the first musical
writer used in this country, and oM ear
Hest musical compilers stole from him.
Rev. John Tufts published the first
American singng.book, with thirty
seven tunes in it. Rev. Thomas Walter
published another eleven years later.
Two other books were published at
Newburyport and in Philadelphia. the
latter not long before the Revolutionary
war, with 142 subscribers, and the book
ruined him. 1t contained the first
American composition and the Ninety
seventh psalm by schoolmaster of New
York City, named William lucky.
Paul Revere, of Boston, engraved the
music for Josiah Flagg's collection in
1864 on American made paper This
Flagg had band of music In Boston
in 1773, and had fifty performers in
somo of his concerts in Faneuil Hall.
For a good while the deacons and
preachers. too. bullied the choirs, the
deacons wanting no music at all and
the preachers wanting better singing.

THE SNARL FAMILY.

Dimculty of Turning Its Members Out.
Daisy is little girl three years old
She has blue eyes that open wide with
wonder when she Is surprised and
twinkle with fun and mischief a great
deal of the time "A pretty little rosy
mouth and an abundance Of long golden
hair.
Now this hair has long been great
trial to Daisy, for 1t has to be coihbed
and brushed every day. and whom she
plays housekeeping under the table
with maple sugar for ''toa," or crecps
under the lounge TO play "bear." the
hair gets badly tangled, and fairly ties
itself up In knots, so that when 1t Is
combed there are great many little
shrieks and jumps from Daisy. (
But one day when Auntie was brush
ing Daisy's hair she discovered what
made all the trouble. And what do you
suppose 1t WASP Why. a family by the
name of Snarl had moved into Daisy's
hair, and they didn't like to BIO turned
out There was Father and Mother
Snarl, and JOHNNY and Susan; besides
. lot of little Snarls. And as Auntio
chased each one TO It's hiding place she
lectured them and demonstrated with
them on their naughtiness In troubling
Daisy so.
There, Johnny Snarl, see you
hiding behind Dafsy's ear. Aren't you
ashamed to plague q little girl SOP
Now don't think you can escape; you
will have to come out"
"Ah! that was Susan that pulled 50
She is . stubborn girl, is Susan Snarl
and determined not to come out
"And here is Mother Snarl, and ever

| And Daisy gets 20 interested In tho
doings of the Snar! family that she for
gets all about the hurt and laughs aloud
at the discontinue of Johnny or tho
hard chase Auntie has after Susan
Sometimes the Snarls have company.
A great many aunts and uncles and
cousins have come to visit them. This
generally happens after Daisy has had
q molasses candy frolic, or some I'M
usual romp. But then the fun Is great
er than ever with so many to turn out
of doors. And one day Daisy said:
mamma, does the Snarl family ever

MALAY AxiOMS.

The Remarkable Resemblance Existing
Between English and Mslaccan Prov
erhs.
The Malays express themselves IN
neat, pithy sentences, and clinch an ar
gument with a proverb. Some Of their
proverbs resemble those wise saws
which we use.to point moral while
others are peculiar to them.
A Malay enjoins secrecy by saying:
IF you have rice, put 1t under the UNI
husked grain.
"Whaf is the use of peacock strut
ting in the jungleP" Is the Malay
equivalent for throwing pearls before
swine.
When Malay wishes to indicate thak
an offer will not be refused, he asks:
will the crocodile reject the carcassp''
He apprehends the obstnacy of heredt-
tary Instincts, for his proverb SAYS
Though you feed . jungle-fowl out Of
Q gold plate, 1t will nevertheless make
for the Jungle"
Those who think human nature may
Be changed by external influences
should muse over this Malay prover0:
"You may plant the bitter cucumber IN
bed Of sage, and manure It With
honey. and water it with molasses, and
train 1t over sugar-cancs, but when It h
cooked 1t will still be bitter"
Those who take trouble for nothing
are said ITO fight in dream" and the
man who is eli things to all men Is ons
who plants sugar-cane on the lips"
Hand chopping wood while ~
shoulder bears load indicates The
man Of expedients and enterprise
Freed from the mouth OF the crocodile
only to fall into the jaws Of the uger.
Is the equivalent for our ''Out Of the
frying-pan into the fire." The cresl
says the basket is coarsely plated" h
. more delicate expression than our
proverb about the pot calling the kettle
black.
We say: 1T is an ill-wind that blows
no one any good" the Malay sayq:
when the junk is wrecked the shark
has his Gil. F"
The yam remains still and inoroasee
In bulk; iron lies quiet and wastes away

CHARITY.
Determination Imperative in Giving to
the Poor.

Determination imperative In Giving to
the Poor.
In giving to the poor, discrimination
should be exercised. Our duty is not
discharged when we have given them
something, simply because we have
given. All interested in the work of
charity know that it is not nearly so ad-
visable to give money to the needy as
it is to lay the money out judiciously
for them. 1t is not, however, of money
giving that would write, but of gar
ment giving. Many people are accus-
toned to give half-worn or outgrown
clothes to the poor, without stopping
to consider whether they are suitable
for the person to whom they are given.
How often have we seen poor people,
who can scarcely keep starvation from
the door. arrayed in silk and embroid-
cry The moral effect Of this is very
bad Here is case In point. A wash
erwoman. with drunken husband and
five children, for whom she must pro-
vide, received numbers Of garments
from families by whom she Is employed.
Many of these clothes were beautiful,
fit for children of wealthy families.

pride is pardonable. for mother-love ID
Gods gift to all, rich and poor alike
spent what she should have used for
food for things to suit the rich apparel.
SO that her children might outshine
those of her neighbors. Remonstrance
was unavailing. Years passed by, and
the children, grown old enough to help
their mother In her hard and weary life,
became millstones to the poor woman.
They would do nothing and had no
thought save for finery, To-day they
are pest to all with whom they como
in contact. The foolish mother, worn
out by labor. has only one comfort In
life, and that is daughter who was so
married by smallpox that the mother
always dressed her in the commonest
clothes, "because she Is so awful home
w." and seldom took her out for the
Sunday afternoon walk. When the
child did go 1t was only to look after
the younger children. This daughter
now takes charge Of the poor home.
saves the mother many an insult and
injury from the wretched father, and
works indefatigably to keep the family
under shelter. = Louisville Courier
