ART VERSUS NATURE.
Same Fanciful Fallacies Concerning the
Structural Forms of Music.

Same Fancful FaIlacies Concerning the
Structural Forms of Music.
The cuckoo gives out successfully two
very distinct and well-intoned musical
sounds, and his vocal organs are so con-
structed that the interval between them
may vary from about two semitones to
five. This interval alters with the birds
age, or at least during his vocal season.
At an early period it is at it's smallest.
On the 5th of May, 1887, heard, on the
Monte Sacro at Orta, North Italy, bird
with q splendid voice give notes only
about tone apart; but late in the sea-
son have heard them forming fully an
interval of fourth. OF course, there,
fore, as the change gradually pro
crosses, they will pass through minor
third and afterwards through major
third, where Beethoven caught them;
and amongst these changes may doubt
less lie the Scotch bagpipe interval,
whatever it may be. But the eXactitude
of any of these is pure matter of
chance. / have noticed sometimes that
the interval lay between minor and
major third, SO that it was difficult to
decide which it inclined to. And it is
worth mention that when two consonant
notes are sounded consecutively, the
harmonic impression on the ear is less
strong than when they are sounded
simultaneously. For example, in the
experiments tried by an eminent violin
list for Helmholst, when he played
major third in harmonyi it was perfectly
true, but when he played the scale, this
third was always found to be sharp
ened. Hence the accuracy of the
cuckoo interval can not be so delicately
Judged of as if the notes were sounded
| together But in any case the idea
that the bird gives, by fixed ana
tomical arrangement, any interval rec
ognized in musical scales, is quite u
fallacy.
1t is the more desirable to establish
this fact, because many people still hold
the idea that sounds accidentally pro-
duced in nature follow the intervals of
our scale. Half a century ago, Mr..
Gardiner, of Leicester, a clever mu-
sician, published book called, think,
"The Music of Nature" in which he
wrote down musical passages profess
edly representing vast number of
natural sequences of sounds, And in
our own day l have seen it seriously
asserted not only that animals, such as
the COW, the horse, the donkey, the dog,
the cat, and the cock, all vocalize
according to our strict scales, but that
even the noises made by inanimate OBJ
jects, such as the moaning of the wind,
the creaking of door, and so on. are
musically in tune. The way to correct
such fanciful fallacies is to encourage
the study of the true theory of music
which teaches that its structural forms
as we now know and use them, art
much more the product Of art than o
nature-W. Pole, in Musical News

Jews Who Plow.

The question, HAS a Jew ever been
seen to plow?" is answered by Mr.. Ar
mold White with very emphatic affirm
ative. Jewish cultivators, as Baron de
Hirsch has lately told us, flourish even
in the Argentine Republic, where
French and English Christians are Civ
ing up the struggle and coming home.
Mr.. White tells us that he has just re-
turned from the agricultural Jewish
colonies of Cherson and Ekaterinoslav,
which number thirty thousand persons,
subsisting entirely by agriculture.
They are described by him as industri-
Gus, sober and having no counterbal-
ancing vice, unless a propensity to
early and improvident marriage is so to
be considered. The truth is, as Mr..
Feinberg, Russian Jewish gentleman
in st. Petersburgh observes, that it
was the fanatcism of the middle ages
that drove the Jews from the fields and
forced them to live in towns 1t is emil
nently characteristic ofpersecution first
to forbid the object of it's fanatical
prejudice to cultivate the soil, and then
to reproach them with their aversion
from agricultural pursuits. - London

Jacopo Robusti. named Tintoretto
born at Venice in 1912, a pupil of Titan,
was an artist whose execution was the
boldest and the quickest and his can
vases the largest. His largest work is
the Paradise, in the grand salon of the
Doges Palace at Venice. The painting
is S4 feet wide and "a feet high. He
was one of the most rapid painters, but
his work shows no signs of hurry. If
we include the decorations of walls and
ceilings, this size has been exceeded by
Sir James Thornhill's fine painting on
the ceiling of the great hall at Green
wich hospital, 122 feet by SO feet rep
resenting the founders, William III.
and Queen Mary, surrounded by the at
tributes of national prosperity. Michael
Angelo also executed an immense
painting of this description in the Sis
tine chapel of the Vatican. He was
commissioned by Pope Julius II. tc
paint the vaulted roof of the chapel,
measuring 1873 feet in length and As
feet in width. The painting represents
the creation of man, his fall, and tho
early history of the world-with refer
eace to mans final redemption and sal
vation.-N. Y. Advertiser.

No sort of bird, beast or. creeping

seems to be a rank poison to all the

before biting off leaf, and horse will
sniff at it and turn up his upper lip as
though it had the most detestable odor
on the face of the earth. Army worms
and the locusts will pass it by, though
they may eat every other green thing in
sight, and there is no surer way to drive
moles away from lawn than to plant
few castor beans here and there. Even
the tobacco worm will refuse to be fed

Old Landmarks Still Existing in New
York.
How many people out of the tens of
thousands who pass up and down daily
by those historic mementoes of the lit
tie city of the past take notice of the
milestones by which the Manhattan
Island farmer or country gentleman
regulated his speed or computed his
time for pleasure and shopping as he
came and left town? Yet there is the
milestone of old stage-coach days on
the Bowery opposite Rivington street,
and on Third avenue, near Seventeenth
street, on the west side, opposite u
Chinese laundry, stands stone bear
ing the legend in deeply craven but
time-worn letters: 1.-TWO Miles from
City Hall, New York" On upper
Eighth avenue another stone gives not
only the number of miles from the
city hall, but also the distance from
Harlem village as measured by the old
Kingsbridge road from that hamlet
across the island. At Kingsbridge,
where the old post road crossed Spuy-
ten Duyvil creek into Westchester
county, diverging thence to Albany and
Boston, is the last of the milestones.
1t still bears the inscription: -Four.
teen Miles from the City Hail. New
York" These stones were set up when
the final survey of the city was made
by John Randel, engineer, 1sO7-9,
whose measurements and plans of the
city's streets, avenues and public places
were so accurate that they have stood
unchallenged until this day.-N. Y.

"The well-informed criminal" he
continued, "skims the cream from

A QUEER BUSINESS.
Breaking In Shoes as "a Means of Making
II Living.

Breaking In Shoes Means of Making
Living.
"Wearing shoes is my business" said
q woman the other day. ut began in
this way: A school mate of mine had
the good luck to marry wealthy man.
She had always suffered from tender
feet and at school l used to break in
her new shoes for her by wearing them
a few days. Stretching on a last won't
serve the same end, because q last
cracks, without softening the leather;
there's nothing like the tread of the
foot to do that
''Well, when my friend married she
insisted on my accepting from her a
trife for breaking in her shoes. ! named
fifty cents a pair. There We're other
women to whom she mentioned her
idea, and about half dozen, who wore
the same number as do, gave me their
custom. Gradually my queer little
business increased, so by the time my
daughters grew up never had to buy
shoes for them or myself, and 1 often
employ girls outside when my custom
ers' sizes do not fit any of us.
81 keep the buttons on the shoes in
addition to stretching them when new.
/ charge ten cents for putting the but
tons on, no matter how many or how
few there may be to replace. 1 also
brush and put shoe polish on them.
The charge for this is twenty-five cents,
and the shoes are sent to me and called
for. For years, think, stood alone
in the business, but now the visiting
maid includes the care of shoes in her
duties, so that but for having my own
patronesses she would cut the ground
from under my always new-shod feet"
