MUSIC THAT STEAKS TRUTH.
Folk Songs Show the n bits, Bellies
and Feeling. o. Ages.

Folk Songs Show the n bits Bellies
and Feeling. o. Ages.
In the folk songs of the different
nations of the world men of science
will one day recognize a body of
evidence of great value in the study
of popular origins. racial relations,
primitive modes Of thought. ancient
customs, antique religions and many
other things which make up the
study of ethuology, says writer in
the Musical Herald. These folk
songs are the echoes of the heart of
the vast, vague, irresistible people.
In them are crystalliZed habits,
beliefs and feelings of unspeakable
antiquity; yet not in the words of
the song alone. Study of folk song
text is only half study; indeed, it is
study of the lesser half of the subject
in request of truthfulness. The
words of the peoples songs are a
record of eXternals chiefly. and very
often they were only half truths. If
we would know the whole story
which their creators put into them,
consciously or unconsciously,w must
hear also the music.
As the term implies, the folk song
is the product of a people; and a
people do not lie. Music is an cs-
sential element OF it. and music not
only does mott cannot lie. The
things which are at the bottom of
music. without which it could not be,
are unconscious human products.
We all act on recognition of this
fact when we Judge of the sentiments
of another, not so much by what he
says to Us as By his manner of say
ing it. The feelings which sway us
publish themselves in the pitch, dy-
manic intensity and timbre of our
voices. Try as we may, if we are
powerfully moved we cannot conceal
the fact il we open our mouths for
utterance. lnvoluntarily the muscles
OF the vocal organs become tense or
relax IN obedience to the emotional
stimulus. and the drama which is
playing on the hidden stage Of cur
hearts is disclosed by the tones
which we utter. ! do net say in the
words, mind, but in the tones Tho
former may be false. but the tones
are endowed with the elements
already enumerated, of pitch, iutens-
ity and timbre, and the meditation
OF these elements makes expressive
melody. Science has recognized this
law and Herbert Spencer has formu-
lated it; Variations of the voices

ations of feelings" and feelings are
muscular stimuli" Thus simple is
the explanation of the inherent
truthfulness and expressiveneSs of

Strange Bedfeltows.

Rather striking illustration of
how trade and money getting make

The little plant which is said by
scientists to cause blindness belongs
to the lowest order of fungi The
propagation simply by DIVISIONS
very rapid. and its growth in the It's
sues covering the eyeball causes such
irritation and congestion as to cut
off the supply of nutrlment to the
clearer part of the eye. so tot the
local death of the part, with Tconse-
ouent destruction OF the power of
vision, follows often in few days or
even hours. so far as is known it is
carried only by infection-it must
be planted directly on suitable soil
before it can grow. This in brief. is
what is known of the bacterial cause
OF blindness.

Experiments with glass bricks for
building were begun in in 1891 by
NJ. Falconier. an architect of Lyons.
These bricks are hollow, being blown
like ordinary bottles, and are given
forms-such as cubes, hexagons, etc,
that permit of ready laying. A BIZ
luminous cement with base of as
phalt is used. The bricks serve as
double windows, giving protection
against both cold aud heat. They
are good insulators of humidity and
noise, and they lend themselves
readily to the decoration of build
ings, either by their form or their
color.

To STOP an epidemic of suicides
The French government once decreed
that all corpses of self-murderers
should be exposed naked in the mar
ket places for a certain length Of
time. How would it do for the peo-
pie Of this country, in imitation of
the French, to decree that all corpses
of suicides should he invariably sur
rendered to the medical students?
There is no greater horror in the
minds Of many than the horror of
the dissecting table.
