MUSIC AND MONEY.
The Speculative Tendency of MUSICAL
Composers.

The Speculative Tendency of MUSICAL
Composers.
In sharp criticism of tho purely
moncy-getting spirit evinced by many
writer's of music Prof. Louis Lombard,
OF Utica, N. Y, has this to say:
Occasionally, at least, every musician
should play or write what ho likes
rather than that which he thinks will
please or sell. Musical composition is
too often turned into commercial specu-
lation. Tho money-making disposition
OF our people, by causing them to con-
sidcr tho pecuniary before the intrinsic
value OF their art products, is tho great
est obstacle to their artistic develop
mont.
For tho purpose of money-gotting
some musicians offer almost any thing,
however bad. Others, moro honest than
wise, porsistently try to ram into the
public's car compositions that can
neither be understood nor enjoyed with
out preliminary education, which they
know full we'll tho public has not had
Commercially, this is soon found to be
most Improbable, and as no artist is de-
void OF stomach though he be the most
refined among men, another course is
soon followed. The musical missionary
gives up his post rather than starye.
lie no longer attempts to nourish souls
by the process used in fattening geese
for pates dc e-grds-the bold art-cru-
sadcr finally falls into tho ranks of dol
lar-pickcrs!
In the attainment OF desirable things,
extremes should be avoided. A Nation
al musical taste can no moro be created
by Bachs fugucs than by the vapid Jingle
called popular music"
is there no golden mean, one is
tempted to ask? Must artists stoop to
peoples pockets, or shoot over people S
headsp Can they not cultivate the
taste OF their hearers by gradually In
Producing better class OF music in our
homes, our schools, our churches and
our theatcrs? In doing SO judiciously,
they would benefit themselves quite as
much as tho public, for in timc, they
would como to be regarded as educators,
while now they are known only as deal
ers in pleasant noise.
We have many musical tomperamcnts
that only await tho opportunity for do
yelopment, and our Nation is able to pay
for the best instructors. What grander
things too. than our mountains. can
| yons, caves, forests and rivers could be
found on earth to inspire composers?
Is it not sad that music should be at SO
low an Obj in a country SO richly CHI
dowed by nature, and where, in almost
all othor fields, men havo attained the
greatest results? The blame for this
dcplorablc condition OF our music lies
with those musicians and their namo is
lcgion-who busy themselves exclusive
ly with moncy-making, to tho dctri
ment OF the art-lifo Of heir country.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
According to Good Authorities She Is
Not What She Was.

According to Good Authorities She Is
| Not What She Was.
This charming product of the western
world has come into great prominence
! of late years in literature and in for
| eign life, and has attained a notoriety
| fattering or otherwise to the national
! pride. No institution is better known
or more marked on the continent and
in England, not excepting the tramway
and the Pullman cars. Her enterprise
her daring, her freedom from CONVEX
tionality, have been the theme of tho
novelists and the horror of the dow
ayers having manageable daughters.
Considered as stock the American
girl has been quoted high, and the ALI
anceS that she has formed with families
impecuniOuS but noble have given her
eclat as belonging to new and con-
quering race in the world But the
American girl has not simply a slendee
figure and fine eye and refnv
tongue, She is not simply an engaging
and colnpanionable person, she has ex-
cellent common sense, tact and adapta-
bilitv. She has at length seen in her
varied European experience that it is
more profitable to have social good
form according to local standards than
a reputation for dash and brilliancy.
Consequently the American girl of
decade ago has effaced herself. She is
no longer the dazzling courageous fig.
ure. In England, in France, in Ger.
many, in Italy, she takes, as one may
say, the color of the land. She has re.
tired behind her mother. She who for.
merly marched in the van of the family
procession, leading misunderstanding
the painting mOther-a whimsical
dance, is now the timid and retiring
girl, needing the protection of a chap
erone on every occasion. The satirist
will find no more abroad the American
girl of the old type whom he continues
to describe. The knowing and fasci-
mating creature has changed her tactics
altogether. And the change has re-
acted on American society. The
mother has come once more to the
front, and even if she is obliged to own
to fortyfve years to the census taller,
she has again the position and the
privileges of the blooming woman of
thirty. Her daughters walk meekly
and with downcast if still eXpectant)
eyes, and wait for a sign.-Charles
Dudley Warner, in Harper's Magazine

The plan was so brilliant one that
the seining for minnows seemed very
tame, and the boys dropped their nets
and ran back to the house, consulting
as they ran.

They were at the gate, one on each
post to watch for old Whiteface, and
when she was seen swinging up the
road they called out:
Tell us all about it, Beth. Did you
scream at the firecrackers? Where are
the peanuts? DID you see all the cele'
bration?"
The fun of their joke had all re-
turned, and they kicked their heels
with delight.

The boys climbed slowly down from
the post and went into the house. This
was something they had not expected.
Beth had seen what they had wanted
to see all their lives-a real lion, and
heard it roar. This was the result of
their joke. There was not even a.

THEN AND NOW.

When they first invented gunpowder
They did most dreadful things with It,
They blew up popes and pariamentS,
And emperorS and kings with it.
They put on funny hats and boots,
And Slulked about in cellars. oh!
With shaking shoes they laid Il fuse.
And blew it with the bellows, oh
They wore great ruffS. the stupid muffs,
CAT least that's my opinion, then;
And said: What, no." and ''Sooth, t is 5or'
And called each other ''Minion!" then.
But now, the world has turned about
Five hundred years, and more, you sect
And folks have learned thing or two
They did not know before, you see.
So nowadays the powder serves
TO give the boys jolly day,
And try their Aunt LouiSas nerves,
And make a general holiday.
In open day we blaze away
With popguns and with crackers, oh!
With pockets bright we crown the night,
(And some of them are whackers, ohD.
And pop" and 'hzz" and bang" ana
"whizz!'
Sounds louder still and louder oh!
And that's the way we use to-day

SALADS FOR APPETiZERS.
How to Concoct a Russian or Swedish
Salad.

Salad.
Nothing is better for an appetizer
than nice, fresh, cold salad, unless it
be two nice, fresh, cold salads. But to
make up delicious entity, everything
must be perfection. The salad plants
must be clean and dry, the oil direct
from Lucco, and the vinegar the purest
that can be brought forth from clean
apples and a new cider press.
If one is a bit dainty, rather critical,
almost exacting, and feels the need of
stomach ticker, ID Russian salad is
the thing par excellence to accomplish
this end. Mix for this tonic dish, equal
quantities of chopped beet-root, boiled,
and celery; add dash of scraped horse
radish. and then pou.' over-not may
onnaise this time-but a mixture of oil,
vinegar, pepper and salt.
A Swedish salad is more com plicated,
and is good thing to eat when you
have already got good appetite and
want big dish of something. This is
Me way to get it up: Chop up nearly
the same quantities of cold potatoes
And boiled beets; put on couple of
teaspoons of the water in which the
beets were boiled; add two picked her
rings, minced, a raw apple, picked
cucumber and an onion. Cover the
whole business with sweet cream, and
when you feel just like eating, pitch in
and hope for the best.-Boston Herald.

Hamlet as He Was.

Amleth, as it was formerly written,
was prince of Jutland. Medieval
writers, however, differ as to the exact
century in which he lived. The best
authority on this subject, perhaps, is
SaXo-Grammaticus, the Danish his
torian, according to whom Amleth lived
about 200 b. C. He was a son of Hor-
vendii, himself prince of Jutland, and
Gerutha, a daughter of the king of what
is now Denmark. Amleth's father was
murdered by his own brother, Fenzo,
who soon married the wife of his vic
tim. Amleth would have been muir
dered by his uncle at the time of Hor-
vendii's death at his brothers hand but
for the fact that he feigned madness.
Soon after his mothers marriage Am
leth killed his fathers murderer Vari-
Gus stories are told concerning the final
end of Amleth none of which are au-
thentic according to modern. investiga-
