Lottie wants to know whether young
lady has right to ask or demand an en-
gagement ring from the gentleman to whom
she is engaged after being betrothed to him
for nearly three years. In answer, the So
cety man would say that the lady has not
the right to ask or demand an engagement
ring. and it would be in exceedingly bad
taste for her to do so. The gentleman
will probably furnish it when he can afford
to get such one as he thinks proper.

Bayne's Historical Chart.

We have received copy Of this remark
able document, some hints which have here
tofore appeared. 1t is founded on the doctrine
of universal harmony of which history and
geography are only part, consequently that
all created existence comes into being in a
regular musical order, and upon this order il
is maintained. As controlling rule of
action it is inherent and persistent in every
department of human life, gradually reducing
society to state of harmony by the elimi-
nation of its sources of disorder and driving
ont the causes of international war.
The mistake has been made that musical
rules applied only to the science of sound
without considering the secret of Its origin
How could a science of music exist in the
absence of an appreciation of musical
harmony? And how could the latter exist
without an extension to artistic decorations,
having special regard for form and color, the
natural prismatic hues following. as is well
known, regular musical numbers? But
this is not matter of theory but of
cold fact which might have been known long
ago had attention been given to it. The
church was the original nursery of music.
So it was of art, and why? Because they are
reflection of the universal harmony. But
the Bible numbers, which are all musical,
have been considered highly fsnciful and un-
reliable in the face of the fact that if the unit
be made one day, We get the seventh, and in
no other way. Make the unit one month, and
we get the twelve month, and l2xl2 months.
or the twelfth year. Make the unit year
and we get in the musical order, the seventh.
