Why Is 1t That

On coming to Germany, we find the masses
of people showing such an enjoyment Of
scientific music? Aside from the German
character, which seems especially endowed
for this art, say it is largely due to this
educational system. We find, wherever
any art is predominant, the same method
employed. viz: popular instruction; that
means in music, conservatory or class
method Its advantages are indisputable.
1t is the only means of making the terms of
instruction accessible to the masses.
hear that a gentleman, Mr.. Van Ellemeet.
who has studied and taught twelve years
with the celebrated teacher, Theodore
Kulack, in Berlin. has come to us, and in
addition to private scholars. is going to in
struct classes of pupils. There is no reason
why st. Paul should not become one of the
leading musical cities of the West. with
wealth and so much native talent Let us
embrace this opportunity and not let Mr.
Van Ellemeet regret that he has chosen
this city for his home.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Sept. 1S.-D. T.
Hoenig, the nominee on the Labor ticket al
Neenah for state treasurer, is not very en-
thusiastic over the affair. and is inclined to
the idea that it was put-up job on the part
of several well-known shrewd politicians be-
longing to the Republican party, so as to
draw votes from the Democrats. Mr.. Hoenig
is well known in this vicinity, and will draw
large complimentary vote. "A Knights of
Labor assembly was organized at Bloomer
last night. Robert Schilling, the labor ayi-
tator, spoke here tonight to a large audi
ence. The river has risen to twelve-foot

A clock-manufacturing firm in Calcnt-
Ia, India, have lately completed very
ingenious time-piecc in the shape OF an
eight-day clock. which strikes the hours
on large, fulI-toned gong, and chimes
the quarters on eight BELLS.
In connection with the clock there Is g
perpetual calendar which gives the cor
rect days Of all the various months, In
Guiding the twenty-nine days OF February
In the lcap year
Thcre is also a military procession
worked by the clock, representing vari-
GUS branches of the British army, con-
slsting OF artillery, cavalry, and infant
ry, and tho staff i'm review order There
Is also q sentry on duty who salutes a
drummer, who beats the drum, and a
bugler who raises his bugle to his mouth
every few minutes.
All OF these figures are arranged at the
top OF the dial.
There is also musical instrument,
which plays while the procession is
marching In review.
Near the bottom Of the clock Is placed
q military band which Is concealed by q
curtain. and which is raised every hour
when the music IL playing and the pro-
cession moving, and falls again immedi-
ateIy after the clock has struck and re-
mains drawn until the next hour.
The case, made Of ebonIzed mahogany,
Is about six feet high, three feet SIX
inches wide, and two feet six inches
deep, highly ornamented with brass
trimmings.
The circles on the dial to show minutes
hours, days of the month, etc, are en-
grayed and silyered The center and
sides of the dial are richly enameled
At the sides of the case are massive
brass ornamental handles and ornamen
tai fret-work.

Floatlng suits.

Buoyant clothing has been devised by
a Londoner, and seems to be attracting
some attention IN that metropolis.
Threads OF cork are interwoven with
cotton. silk. or woolen. machinery
which slices the cork to the required
thinness forming part of the invention.
From these new materials clothes OF
ordinary appearance are constructed
which bear up tho wearer when COM

The worth OF the now fabrics was
thoroughly tested by throwing three

they remained In the water over an hour
without discomfort.

Critical Periods or Life.

From the age of forty to that Of
sixty, a man who properly regulates
himselfmay be considered in The prime
of life. His matured strength Of con
stitution renders him imperyious to
the attacks OF disease, and ell the
functions are in the highest order.
Having gone year or two past six
ty, however, be arrives at critical
period of existence; the river of death
flows before him, and he remains at q
standstill. But athwart this river is
viaduct called "The Turn Of Life, .
which If crossed in safety, leads to
the valley of "Old Age" round
which the river winds, and then flows
beyond without boat or causeway
to affect its passage. The bridge is,
however, constituted of fragile
materials, and it depends upon how
it is trodden whether 1t bends or
breaks. Gout, apopIexy and other
bad characters are also in the vicinity
to waylay the traveller and thrust
him from the pass; but let him grid
up his Ions, provide himself with
perfect composure. To quote meta
phor, the turn of life" has a turn
either into a prolonged walk or into
the grave. The system and pow
or having reached their utmost ex-
pansion, now begin either to close
like flowers at sunset or break down
at once. One ipjudicious stimulant.

it beyond its strength: while care

of all that tends to force plant, will
sustain it in beauty and vigor until
night has nearly set in.

If farmers and stock-ralsers would al.

providential foresight to guard against
exposures and furnish preventives, while
it is lamentable fact that most farmers
pay very little attention to their own
comfort and health, or to the comfort
and health of those around and asso-
ciated with them. But it is nevertheless
true that sudden changes of tempera-

grasses. makes An cNcelienC IOOOcr
plant, which springs up early in the
season. As the seed is much cheaper
than that of orchard or blue grass, it
can be introduced at comparatively
small expense.
White clover is a very valuable plant
for a pasture. especially one in which
sheep are kept. As the seed is expen-
sive, few farmers can afford to sow
much of it. 1t is desirable to make a
little 60 long way. 1t is good plan
to sow small amount of seed in few
suitable places and to allow the plants
raised to spread over the adjacent
ground. as they will by means of their
creeping branches. If the droppings
ofcattle be broken up early in the spring
and be scattered about, apinch of white
clover seed can be planted on the
ground that was covered by them and
a good stand be obtained. The grass
roots that were covered by the dung
will be likely to be killed. while the
soil will be very rich. The plants pro-
duced on a piece of land a foot in di-
ameter will in few years extend over
a large space. In introducing grasses
and clovers into the native sod it is best
to commence on the side from which
the prevailing wind comes. as it will
aid in scattering seeds. when the plants
are old enough to produce them, over
the rest of the pasture land. Red-top
and blue grass furnish, if they are not
moved. large amount of seed which
is scattered by the wind over land in
the vicinity. Chicago Times.
