The Power of Music.

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 poweri
How many ever go beyond the melo-
dious sound to seek out its real spirits
There are not many. The combina.
ton of sounds into chords of various
kinds, with the Celebrations known as
musical Torture, 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. II
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.-Master Godfrey in Detroit

Too Much Dog.

How many persons have declared
that the more they saw of men the
more they liked dogsl And it is
claimed that of all creatures the dog
improves most upon acquaintance.
The longer you know dog the better
you love it. Possibly this is not the
dogs fault, maybe it is just because
the superior animal is satisfied and
content with that unselfish devotion a
dog always renders its master. May
be there is not much in dog, but a
great many great men have found
them good companions. When any
one says II don't like dogs" there are
many who would answer, II am sorry
for you, you miss a great deal" Of
course, seriously speaking, every one
does not like dogs, but just as seri-
ously, it is because they have not
given the dogs a chance to prove what
sort of friends they can be.
The other day lady declared she
didn't like dogs because she had too
much of them. If she had not given
a reason for her dislike the remark
would have caused no astonishment.
But really now what sort of dogs has
she too much off And if she thinks
so little of dogs, according to Wilkie
Collins, how much less must she think
OF men.-New Orleans Picayune.

EXPERIENCE AS AN EDUCATOR.
Though Man May Live Long In the
Land He Is Never Done Learning.

Though n Man May Live Long In the
Land He Is Never Done Learning.
The school of experience is often a
costly one, but it is generally a
thorough one. Lessons learned from
experience are generally more lasting
ly and effectually impressed upon the
mind than those which are merely
theoretical, and a young mans educa-
ton is never complete, or at least
never actually on the road to compile
ton, until he has studied in the varied
and ever expanding school of practi-
cal experience. Theoretical education,
however thorough, however well
taught, can never fit man to begin a
practical business life with any assur-
ance of success, anywhere but at the
foundation. Theory is undoubtedly
the foundation of all practical knowl-
edge, but, without the actual practice
and experience, is of little value.
This is a fact which too many young
men at the present time ignore, and
which sooner or later proves their
ruin. They are wont to think that,
because they have passed a successful
course at school or college, and have
mastered the theoretical problems,
they are fitted to enter upon the prac-
teal application of theory without
further study, and make success of
their undertakings.
A mans education is never COM
plete, and those who have the sense to
see and acknowledge this are the ones
who will be most sure of becoming
successful The longer a man lives,
the more thoroughly he becomes i'm
pressed with the fact of his limited
knowledge, and he Z is never moro
easily and thoroughly impressed with
this than when he begins practical
business life. He starts in with the idea
that he knows it all. Theory has
taught him cause and effect and he
has only to follow out his calculations
to attain the desired end.
The fallacy of this kind of reason
ing is too evident to need further COM
ment, and examples of its results are
not wanting to warn any one against
pursuing such a course. And still
how futile seem the efforts of those
who are able to advise to impress
these facts upon the minds of those
younger in years, and who have never
learned from the school of experience.
The theoretical school is the one in
which the young mind should first be
taught, because it is then that it is
more susceptible to such teachings,
and less able to profit by experience
requiring stronger physical develop
ments; but this mental training
should be supplemented by one com
bining both the theoretical and the
practical, and it is in this that expe-
rience proves itself a most thorough
and able educator, and no young
mans education at the present time
should be considered complete until
he has been thus taught. Then, no
matter what conditions surround him,
whether he be the son of wealth or
heir to humber inheritance, he is,
at least, fitted to take his position in
life with knowledge of what life is,
and be able to provide for himself and
those who may be dependent upon
him for life's necessities. Boston

a Clever Terrier.

There is a little black and tan terrier
in Pittsburg who possesses something
very like rational power. In fact 6
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 bone
which the dog had evidently hidden
there. She threw the bone 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 no 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 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

Write Slowly.

The one absorbing object of this
breathless age seems to be rapidity. In
putting down ideas on paper, no other
quality seems to be taken into account.
The typewriting machine that can be
made to write LA words a minute
crows over the machine that can COM
pass only 1876 words a minute.
There are indeed some kinds of
work, concede, in which utmost ra-
pidity is the paramount requisite;
such work as copying, taking notes,
reporting, belongs to this class. And
l plead native bias toward rapid
work in penmanship as strong as any
body's; i'll fact, if my own experience
had not demonstrated thoroughly
that in some kinds of work, and espe-
cially in original composition, the
more haste the less speed, should be
driving my pen as fast as it could
possibly 60, for that is indeed my i'm.
pulse. AS matter of fact, however,
purposely put on the brakes; l am
writing this with an old fashioned
quill pen; partly, perhaps, because l
have come to like the squeak of it, and
find it the easiest to the fingers of any
pen In the world, but principally be-
cause it compels somewhat slower and
more deliberate work.
Why, then, seek for slownessa Be-
cause their is an interval between the
first inception of the sentence in the
mind and its final form on paper,
which to him who has learned to uti-
lie it, is the most valuable moment
of composition. would not take
great deal for that interval; the time
that lose therein is time gained. For
in that brief time all the mechanical
and grammatical questions are debated
and settled. In every sentence have
here made, such as it is, while my
quill has been squeaking through one
word after another, my thoughts have
been constantly running ahead, and
taking care of the verbs and the pro-
nouns, and the commas and the semi
colons; so that when the old pen
caught up its exact work was ready
for it.-Professor Genung in Writer.

Teeth are just as easily starved to
death as the stomach. In one way it
is blessing to have been born Of poor
parents. What food the poor give
their children is of the variety that
goes to make strong bones and teeth.
1t is the outside Of all the grains, of
all the cereal foods, that contains the
carbonate and phosphate of lime and
traces of other earthly salts which
nourish the bony tissues and build the
frame up.
If we do not furnish to the teeth of
the young that pabulum they require,
they cannot possibly be built up. 1t is
the outside of corn, oats, wheat, bar
ley and the like, or the bran, so called,
that we sift away and feed to the
swine, that the teeth actually require
for their proper nourishment. The
wisdom of man has proven his folly.
shown in every succeeding generation
OF teeth, which becomes more fragile
and weak. These Touring mills are
working destruction upon the teeth of
every man, woman and child who
partakes of their fine bolted -four.
They sift out the carbonates and phos-
pilates of lime in order that they may
provide that fine white -four which is
proving whitened sepulcher to the
teeth.
Oatmeal is one of the best foods for
supplying teeth with nourishment. 1t
makes the dentine cementum and
enamel strong, flint like, and able to
resist all forms of decay. If you have
children never allow any white bread
upon your table. Bread made of whole
wheat ground, not bolted, so that the
bran which contains the minute guam
titles of lime is present, is best. To
make a good, wholesome, nourishing
bread take two bowls of wheat meal
and one bowl of white or bolted flour
and make by the usual process. Moth
ing is superior to brown bread for bone
and tooth building. This is made out
of rye meal and corn meal. Baked
beans, too, have q considerable sup
ply of these lime salts, and should be
on your table, hot or cold three times
a week.--American Analyst.

Wood Ilendinp.

There are comparatively few per-
sons outside the carriage and boat
building interest that know to what
an extent the wood bending business
is carried, and the management that
is necessary to carry on a well ar
ranged wood bending establishment.
Few know that the fine carriages they
ride in are very largely made of bent
wood. The felloes of their wheels are
bent and made in two parts. The
framework of coaches and heavy car
riages is nearly all made of bent stock.
They are not only better, but more
cheaply made. The frames Of most of
our pleasure boats are bent. and SO are
many of the frames of some of our fin
est sailing yachts. Furniture of many
kinds has bent frames. The objects of
bending are, saving of time and stock,
stability and strength of work and
beauty Of form. 1t is business that
needs to be well understood, however,
TO make a success Of it. Simple as the
work seems to be, yet i. is full of little
details which must be strictly attended
to, else the result is miserable fail

Peers Children and Courtesy Titles.

The only persons entitled to Right

him in all cases the second of his fa-

The Duke of Newcastle is also Mar.
quis of Newcastle. He is besides Earl
of Lincoln, therefore his eldest son,
ranking as a marquis, is commonly
called" Earl Of Lincoln. The Duke Of
Manchester is also Marquis and Earl
OF Manchester and Viscount Mande-
vile; therefore, his eldest son, ranking
as marquis, is commonly called Wis
count Vaudeville, to avoid probable
confusion if father and son signed

MlNNA,s RAG DOLL.
Grandma Tells Her Fellow Passengers
Why She Delayed the Car.

Why She Delayed the Car.
The day was warm enough 10 have
the street car windows open, or else
the events of this story would never
have happened. There were only q
half dozen persons in the car, because
most of those who had started home
in it had jumped up and ran for the
bridge when the warning bell rang
just as the car approached it. The de-
lay made most OF the half dozen peo-
pie very cross and impatient, and
when the little old lady in the corner
dropped something out of the window
and insisted on the conductor stopping
the car while she went back to pick it
up, all of the passengers faces grew
dark and scowls were more numerous
than ever. When the little woman
reappeared and the car moved on. q
GOODNESS had settled down upon every
body, and each one blamed the little
woman for the additional delay. She
felt it all, for she was a sensitive little
thing, and she wanted to explain why
it was that she was so persistent in
having the car stopped and held for
her. So she held up to the view of
all in the car the most dilapidated and
mournful looking doll that was ever
seen.
''it's Minna's," she said quietly.
"Minna is my little granddaughter,
md she is very, very sick. We moved
Ihe other day because John-that's
Minna's father-couldn't bear to live
In the old house where Minna's mo-
Their died. 1t made him feel so queer
to be living there without her, he said.
So we have gone way out on this side
to live. Just after we got nicely set
tied Minna took sick, too. We had
the doctor right away, but Minna don't
seem to be getting any better. She's
quiet enough-too quiet to suit me
forshe just lies there and looks around
with her big, black eyes as if she missed
something and was only waiting for
it to come back. But this morning
she seemed brighter. Grandma she
said, do you know where my doll ISL

seek high, seek low l couldn't find it
anywhere, and then it came over me
all of sudden that we must have left
it in the old house. So | told Minna.
Yes, grandma, that's where it is. l
remember, now. It's in hole under
the willow tree in the back yard.
Bless you, child, says l, what did
you put it there FORE Cause, grand
ma, couldn't bear to play with it any
more after mamma died. So l just
buried it. But l want it now. 1t
seems as if it would be easier for me
TOTO go to sleep if l could hold some
thing in my hand that mamma made.
Can't you get it, grandma2' So went
back to the old place, and there, sure
enough, under the willow tree was a
little grave all heaped up nice, and a
single for tombstone with Minna's
dolls name on it, 1t gave me start,
you may be sure. But / have it here
safe, now. And that's why was so
anxious not to lose any time. You
will forgive me, good people2"
