Interesting People.

What makes person interestingly
1t cannot be intellectual brilliancy, for
we have all known men whose minds
were stored with the best thought of
the world, yet wholly failed to interest
us, women whose brains were developed
by the widest culture, yet were unable
to appear other than dry-as-dust cata-
logues of knowledge. Think of the
people who interest you and study
their qualities and how few you find
possessing just the same traits. 1t is
all matter of magnetic soul currents,
possibly. Why not? We can hardly
dispute that some human bodies convex
electricity much more readily than
others. In almost any gathering of a
dozen persons at least one will be
found who possesses this strange power,
the touch of whose hand can cause a
sensation like that of touching an cleo
trio battery. Is there anything impos-
sible in the theory that souls have their
electric currents, which pass more or
less freely to and fro according to the
individual power as conductor? Then
we have but to assume that the person
who interests" us is one whose soul
current mingles freely with our own.
This is, perhaps, a more satisfactory ex-
planation than the more commonly re-
ceived one of animal magnetism, a
quality on lower plane and infinitely
less subtle in character. Boston Ad.

MUSICAL INSTRUCTION,
1t Serves as a Means of Grace in the
Family,

1t Serves as Means of Grace in the
Family.
1t is difficult to estimate the impor-
tance of the regular musical season in
the family circle. A man who has had
great experience in studying family
training recently remarked that an or
gan and banjo would do more toward
keeping bad boys at home than anv
other single investment that parents
could make. He said, and with good
show of reason, that any one who
ardently loved music and was fond of
singing had an element constantly at
work in his nature for good. Music is
always elevating, no matter if it be
very common and cheap sort of music.
little time given to the cultivation of
children's voices and study-hours and
evenings for singing would go very far
toward keeping young people and chill
dren at home and pleasantly occupied.
1t is an idea worthy of consideration to
form, in every neighborhood, musical
circles, with appointed times for meet
ing. The old-fashioned singing-school
was means of grace in the community.
and if one or two evenings week could
be so occupied in every neighborhood,
there would be far less restlessness and
discomfort among the young people. 1t
would pay to employ competent
teacher in music and elocution, and set
apart special times for exercises of va
rious sorts. A little training in singing.
recitation and general public cere-
monies would be of untold advantage
to every youngster.-N. Y. Ledger.
