WOMEN AS COMPOSERS.
In All tho Higher Efforts Of Mind tn
Arc Far Inperior to Mon.

In All the Higher Efforts Of Mind They
Are Far Inperior to Men.
It might have been thought that If
practice gives perfection women would
have excelled her male counterpart, not
only as an executant, but as a composer
of music, declares the London Lancet.
But in instrumental performances she
cannot for q moment compare with
him, while as composer she Is no
where. Tho repertoire of music, from
the dawn Of the art to the present day,
owes simply nothing to her. Consider
ing the time she has spent over it, her
failure to evolve new harmonies, or
even new melodies, is one of the ex-
traordinary enigmas in the history OF
the fine arts.
Where, in ancient times or In modern,
can woman, with all her practice, be
found to have created one chef-d 9uvre
in music? The inference implied by
the negative answer to such question
seems simply this: That in the higher
efforts of mind-even IN those where
the admixture of an emotional element,
as In music, might be supposed to give
her the advantage-women is inferior
to her male counterpart, and cannot, by
any educational forcing system, be
made equal to him, deficient as she u in
the Physiological conditions of ideo-
plastic power.

HOW TO HANG PICTURES

A Few Suggestions That May Prove w.
uabie In the Fail.
When the chairs are taken out Of
their summer linens, the hastings re-
placed by carpets and rugs, curtains
and portieres hung and all preparations
under way for the winter arrangement
of the home, then, perhaps. the way
the pictures are hung may not exactly
suit. and . few ideas as to their ar
rangement may prove valuable to tho
harassed housekeeper.
Unless q picture is genuinely good,
do not keep it on your walls At all. but
give it awav, unless, indeed, there is
some association connected with it that
makes it valuable in your eyes, when
it would be best to keep = where only
you could gaze upon it. Do not think
it necessary to have a painful regularity
that may be precision itself, but far
from artistic.
Nearly all pictures arc hung sloping
outward from bottom to top, Is very
few look well when placed squarely
against the wall. Do not mix up etch-
ings, oil paintings aud photographers
in one room. Paintings certainly do
not look well placed beside the cold and
formal etching, yet etchings and en-
cravings can be used together in eff
fective harmony.
Pictures containing small figures
should not be hung 50 far above the
range of vision that one can not discern
the objects meant TO be represented.
The shadows in picture should turn
from the windows of the room in which
it is hung. Companion pieces are no
longer considered good form, yet if you
own those containing figures. if they
are hung side by side, be sure that the
forms represented on the canvas face
each other

care, however, that In your efforts to
produce artistic effects you do not

recently saw baked leg Of mutton
painted, and tho operation interested
me greatly. The object was to make
of it leg of mutton toasted on a spit
Having transfxed it with spit which
was Immediately withdrawn, the cook
then passed over the mutton, saying:
''Now for the painter"
The painter had before him dozen
bowls of different dimensions. Each
had its paint brush, and on one side
were lying several brushes of various
degrees of stiffness The artist for
moment studied the leg Of mutton sub
mitted to him, passed his hand across
his brow, then dipped his brush into
tho pot labeled ''rissole" and painted
the deep brown parts Of tho mutton
just from the oven.
He next took . mop and With II
sprinkled powder Of carbonated meat
on the joint, calculated to crackle under

mixture called ma tural blood" he imi-

poured two or three spoonfuls of con-
somme In the dish and added little
beet juice; then with small syringe
pierced with three holes like those used
in treating the ear, he variegated the
whole with several pounds of boiling
grease.
The mutton was served to q party of
Wallachians with the announcement:

speaking tube: "Four reedbirds" The

injected the grease between the skin

IT is the very audacity of the Berkeley
train robbery that made it successful.
Whether the robbers are smart enough
to elude the vigilance of the detectives
depends upon so many factors that il
would be hazardous to express a posi-.
tive opinion. They have $4,000 in
cash, and that is an important point in
favor of their escape. With that mon ey
they can find many ways to get success
fully out OF the country before the de.
tectives can get on their trail. It is,
however, generally the weakness OF such
men to be fond of strong drink, and il
they yield to that weakness during the
heat of the hunt the chances are thou
sand to one that they will fall into the
clutches of the officers of the law. If,
moreover, there is woman in the case,
as seems probable from the reports, the
chances of their detection are thereby
increased. But whether the daring
thieves are caught or not, the fact re.
mains that it is one of the boldest senea-
tional robberies ever committed in this
state.
