l know a non-hysterical woman
who, in her frances, knows facts
which altogether transcend her posi-
BILE normal consciousness, facts about
the lives of people whom she never
saw or heard of before. | am well
aware of all the liabilities to which
this statement exposes me, and ]
make it deliberately, having prac-
tically nc doubt whatever of its
truth. My own impression is that
the trance condition is an i'm
mensely complex and huctuating
thing, into the understanding Of which
we have hardly begun to penetrate,
and concerning which any very
sweeping generalization is sure to be
premature. a comparative study of
frances and s~ubcouscious states is
meanwhile of the most urgent import
ance for the comprehension of our ma

SIMILARITY OF SOME SONGS.
Popular Songs of Today That Resemble
Favorites of Fifty Years Ago.

Favorites of Fifty Years Ago.
It is interesting 10 study the evolu-
ton of popular songs and favorite
hymns. The meaning of song goes
deep" says a L oted writer. And so it
does. Often, however, the original
meaning of a song, or the music to
which it is set is very different from
the later interpretations. Take Home,
Sweet Home for instance. How it
has swept the worlds heartstrings
since John Howard Payne, the man
without a home wrote it in 1892. Yet
it was part Of an opera which proved
a dismal failure. The words are not
too beautiful and altogether would not
be called good poetry, and it is doubt
full if they would have carried people
by storm had it not been for the ex-
quisite air to which they were adapted.
And the air is said to be taken from
an old Persian or Arabian love song.
This song, however, living on its Dor
rowed music, won Mr.. Payne such
lasting honors that years after his
death a rich American dug up his
bones and brought them to this coun-
try to be buried again.
Other specimens of metamorphosed
meaning equally striking could be
quoted by columns. Our patriotic
America is sung TO John Bulls
God Save the Queen" and Yankee
Doodle" was borrowed by our embat-
tied forefathers from an old ditty aud
turned into a defiant jingle against the
British red coats.
Hereare some more recent oddities us
regards the transformation of popular
airs: when the Robins Nest Again"
starts exactly like Maid of Athens"
''Wait Till the Clouds Roll BY" be
gins as does the blue Bells of Scot
land" Emmet's Love of the Sham
rock" is of the same musical idea as
There Is a Fountain Filled with
Blood" Any one comparing DiXey's
great success in "Adonis, " Its Eng
fish, You Know" to the old song
Flying Trapeze," will find that there
is-but slight meditation. BY a change
of key and the quartering of a few notes
a difference is made between the
Spanish Cavalier and the chorus
of Peek a-Boo." Twinkle, Twin
kle, Little Star, or Will You Meet Me
at the Bar" which met with so much
favor in Joshua Whitcomb,' is so
closely allied to Claribel's you and !, ~
that they can hardly be distinguished
one from the other.
"All on Account of Eliza" from
the opera, "Billee Taylor, is nothing
less than "IIow Lovely Are the Mes
sengers," from Mendelssohn's o|ratorio
of ''St. Paul" Think of It'll One of
of the grandest of sacred chorals
''transmogrifed" into comic operal
And last, but not least, that stirring re-
vival hymn, Hold the Fort, 9 is, so far
as the music is concerned, an ancient
German drinking song.-New Or
leans Picayune.

G. F. Black. president OF the Demo-
cratic clubs of the United States. sug-
ges.s that meetings of the clubs be held
throughout the country next month in
celebration of the birthday OF Thomas
Jefferson, founder of the party.
This is a particularly propitious time
to hold such a meeting and the suggestion
that such a gathering be held at Rawlins
about the middle OF lex month seems
to us a very good one. Rawlins is CEN
trally located and accessible to all parts
of the territory and would therefore be a
desirable point at which to meet. Let
the suggestion be carried out by all
means.

The first telegraphic dispatch was
sent in 1914. 1t announced the result
of the Wing convention at Baltimore,
which nominated Henry Clay for
president and Theodore Frelinghuysen
for vice president of the United States.
The only telegraph line in existence
extended from Washington to An
napolis Junction. A number of people
who had attended the convention
were on their way back TO Washing
ton, and when they stopped at Annapo-
lis Junction they sent dispatch to the
