How many of the people who are
fond of music and recognize its great
power over the human organism ever
stop to seek the source of that power9
How many v er go beyond the melo-
dious sound to seek out its real spiritY
There are not many. The combina-
ton of sounds into chords Of various
kinds, with the Celebrations known as
musical 1oriture, pleases the ear, and
through the ear the spirit. But the
real alliance between the human soul
and the soul of the composition is sell
dom recognized. There is the closest
kind of alliance between the two. 1t
is this affinity that links all humanity
and all music together. One can real
ize the bond on the plantation, in the
ranch, in the lumber camp, even in
the desert. Music holds its power un-
der all circumstances and in all con-
ditions NJ Godfrey in Detroit

There is a little black and.tan terrier
in Pittsburg who possesses something
very like rational power. In fact a
lady who knows him intimately de
clares that he is uncanny in his intelli.
gence.
A few weeks ago, while this small
dog was being washed upstairs, one
of the ladies of the household discov-
cred in a corner of the parlor a bone,
which the dog had evidently hidden
there. She threw the bono out of the
window. When the dog came down
from his bath he went straight to the
spot where the bone had lain.
Either he was hungry or he was
suspicious. There was nc doubt
about his feelings when he discovered
that the bone had been removed. As
he turned and looked about the room
his anger was shown by every part of
him. 1t happened that the lady who
had thrown the bone away entered
the room at this moment with a do
nestle. The dog looked at both of
them intently, and apparently read
the guilty secret of one of them
Alright, for he flew at her the next mo-
ment with great savageness and tried
very hard to bite her. He was repulsed
happily.
Surely the ability to reason is shown
in the conduct of this dog.-Pittsburg

One would think it odd, to say the
least, if, on visiting the court of a civ

show his proficiency in swimming as
a method of proving his ~desirability

ence of a missionary to Africa, who
tells his story in 1.-TWO Kings of Ugan-

Swimming is a very rare accom-
plishment In Buganda. One day,
when / had obtained audience with

me out, followed by a crowd of pages
