How TO Learn Music.

Do not fail to take advantage Of the
library. Begin a course of good read
ing. Music is notorious for narrowing
ones mind, so resolve to counterbalance
your practice with library work as well.
As to your practice, would give you
this maxim, "The essential thing in
practice is to see exactly what is to be
done in all its details, and then do it
again and again with the greatest clear
ness, precision and energy"
When You take up new piece, notice
the key, the harmonies, chords, scales,
lingering and general effects One of
the first necessaries is concentration. F"
Develop self criticism. 1.-THE thing you
cannot do is the very thing you should
make yourself do"
In practice begin where you left of
the day before. Connect your days
work. Apply all your knowledge. Do
not try to do more than one thing at a
time. Spend a good deal Of time every
day thinking about what you are doing
and what you willdo.-Edward d. Hale.

Embezzler Francis H. Weeks passed
through this city over the P, w. & B.

New York. He was in the custody OF

defrauded his New York clients OF
about 81, 900, 900. The detectives never
left his side for a minute.
He wore q full dark brown beard and
dark brown business suit He was not
worried and occupied a seat in one of the
parlor cars. He. appeared to be in Q
cheerful frame Of mind
When the tram drew up at the station
his wife entered the car and greeting
him with a kiss, took seat beside him
She is small woman of plain appearance
She wore neat black gown, black hat
gloves and wrap
People who saw the quiet'man sitting IL
the drawing room of the car had little idei
that he was a criminal except lew train
men. IL was not generally known tina
he was coming through this city an'
consequently a crowd at the station wa
avoided.

called into requisition. This has been
done with good results lately, and 1t is q
sensible prscaution to take" 1t should
be the duty Of those who detect cranki-
ness, or the remotest sign of insanity in
friends or relatives to put them under
immediate surveillance and be prepared to
srrest them at the first intimstion OF
danger to innocent people OF course,
we do not recommend harsh treatment for
the McKinleyites, but they ought to be
watched. We quote the following from
the News:
The representatives OF the Bermuda
farmers told the House Committee that
the grower paid the duty on products
from their islands, and they-subi ects OF
Great Britain-wished to have the tariff
removed Opposed to that the Legisla-
tive Committee of the National Grange
petitions Congress not to remove the
duty on anything which comes in COM
petition with the products Of the farms
Of this country. The Democratic owners
of soft coal mines In West Virginia do
not want the duty on soft coal removed.
IL is therefore evident that any reduction
soft coal would be In tho nature Of "im-
prudent tariff changes"
The man who spends his time and ef-
fort in that manner may not be danger.
GUS now, but his friends ought TO take
precautions If these indications continue.
AS matter of fact the Mckinley law
cannot be defended in whole or in part.
1t has never been attempted, to our
knowledge. by a disinterested and in
telligent man. Men will talk and write
to in6nity about the theory of protection,
but few can ever get down to defending
or apologizing for the Mckinley law in
practice. The best of them take snap
shots at it, like the above, and render
themselves liable to be arrested for symp-
toms.
The late Richard A. Proctor, the
famous astronomer, writing to his daugh-
ter concerning the strange fancy some
men entertain that Bacon wrote Shake
speare's plays, recommends that they
should not be encouraged. He says:
For in literature, as in science, the
paradox dies ont il not attacked. A
school Of flat earth men, another of
square circles would soon be established
If science did not very rigidly
leave the paradoxers alone, or else-which
has been my own constant custom-deal
with them ss merely affording highly
interesting examples either of what
some minds are capable of imagining, OF
of what some minds are unable to COM
prehend. For In the case of every para
dox ever advanced there has always been
some evidence which to the i'll trained
mind appears decisive always some cir.
cumstance to render the paradox attrac
tive to men of fanciful imaginations
No doubt Professor Proctor is right
Nothing can be done with the Bacon men
the hat-earth men and the foreigner
pays-the-tax men except, let them alone
AS he says explanation is hopeless,
and opposition confirms them in the be
lief that there is something in thei
paradox,
