THE MUSICAL. ACCENT.
An Illustration That Was More Personal
Than Polite.

Than Polite.
At trial in the Courtof Kings Bench
as to an alleged piracy of the 'Old
English Gentleman" one of the first
witnesses put into tho box was Cooke.
"Now, sir" said Sir James Scarlett in
his cross-examination of Cooke, you
say that the two melodies are identical
but different What am to understand
by that, sir?"
what l said," replied Cooke, "was
that the notes in the two arrangements
are the same but with different accent
the one being in common while tho
other is in triple time; consequently the
position of the accented notes is differ
ent in the two copies"
what is musical accent?' Sir Jamt s
fippantly inquired.
"My terms for teaching music arc a
guinea lesson" said Cooke, much to
the merriment of the court.
81 do not want to know your terms for
teaching said the counsel; 81 want you
to explain to his Lordship and the jury
what is musical accent" Sir James wax
ed wroth. Can you sec it?" he con-
tinued.
NO" was tho answer
''Canyou fell it?"
well" Cooke drawled out, "a musi-
clan can" After an appeal to the Judge
the examining counsel again put the
question. "Will you explain to his Lord
ship and the jury-who are supposed to
know nothing about music--the mean
ing of what you call accent?"
Musical accent rejoined Cooke, sis
emphasis laid on a certain note just in
the same manner as you would lay stress
on any word when speaking, in order to
make yourself better understood. Twill
give you an illustration, Sir James. If
Iwere to say, you are a donkey, the ac-
lent rests on donkey; but if instead
said you are donkey it rests on you,
Sir James, and have no doubt that the
gentleman of the jury will corroborate
me in this" The story is more person
al than polite-nevertheless, it is well
worth telling as an instance OF forcible
illustration. 1t is nseful, too. since 1t
may serve to impress upon the minds Of
that very large circle of people who
plume themselves on being musical
some faint notion of what accent in
music really "a 1t is the outcome OF
that wonde .fxl invention, the division
of music into bars, but for which music
might sill be only the magical accom-
plishment of few.-Gentlemsn's Mag
azine.

Somebody's baby went home to-day,

And somebody's tears ore flowing
Somebody longs for the wee form again,
Only one moment TO hold IL;
Somebody thinks II would ease the heart.pain,

Somebody's arms are empty and free,
Aimlessly, uselessly lying;
Somebody's trying SO prayerfully, now,

Somebody's baby knew little this morn,

age. His thick, silky hair fell like a
vail of snow about his shoulders. His
tall, gaunt figure was straight as an ar

in their penetrating brilliancy. They
we're eyes that seemed with one glance
to search and know ones Utmost soul.

OF wonderful expression as he talked.

The arrival today from sonora OF a
four horse load OF mesesl which was
drawn up in front OF The custom
house in Tombstone, caused some
speculation regarding It's destination
and manufacture, and upon investiga-
ton the PRosrEcroR gained some in

tant one 10 The country lying south Of
US. This particular load came from
the Meseal ranch just below the San
Bernardino ranch. This liquor j.
manufactured and sold in sonora Tor
a dollar gallon in Mexican money,
and pays a duty OF two dollars a gallon
on this side in American money
Mesoal is gradually gaining in favor
with the American people, and is said
TO be when pure, one Of the most
harmless Of any liquor sold. For kid
ney trouble it has many times been
prescribed and used with remarkable
results, eiTecting cure in a positive
manner.
The manufacture Of tie liquor has
been carried on ior hundreds OF years
and all over Arizona can be found re
mains OF huge pits in which this plant
was cooked prior to the juice being
extracted. The crude methods Of ex-
tracing the juice and distilling it
have given way in most parts of So
nora TO modern facilities for its mann-
facture, many Of the plants being ex-
tensive and costly. At Nogales, So
nora is a distillery on large scale,
which is doing a large business and
covers half acre Of ground. A visit
20 this place short time since fur
nished food for reflection on one
branch Of the industry which will be a
revelation to most Arizonians. 1t Is,
that Cochise county furnishes the
bulb or plant from which the juice Is
extracted. The meseal plant grows
to perfection in the slope along tie
MILESTONE mountains and is gathered
aud shipped on the y. NJ & A. road to
the Nogales distiliery. Here It is
manufactured into liquor and re-
shipped TO this country, paying a duty
Of 80 on each gallon This is another
instance Of where protection to our
industries does not protect.
With the growing demand for mes
cal there is surely an opening for
some enterprising man to establish a
similar industry in this county where
the stock grows in abundance and can
be bad for nothing but the labor used
in Its gathering.
