THE CITIZEN
Music as a Social Elevator.

'Musie hath charms" etc. In converse
ton the other day at gathering of musi-
clans there came up the topic of the effect
of harmony upon the savage beast" 1t
was stoutly held that ''music's softenlng
sway" could change men s natures, appeal
to their best instincts, touch their hearts,
and hold them to high standards ofthought
and action. That this is true (while the
music lastsl is beyond allquestioning. But
whether the effect may be made at all per-
manent or lasting is subject for some
doubt.
A sad love parting or narrowing death
bed scene in the course of Bowery melo-
drama would be null and void unless sc-
companied by slow music. Without the
shivering of few viollns and drone from
the responsive bass-viol the lament OF the
misguided heroine over her lost home and
the lored ones in the church-yard sod
would fail to draw a single tear. But turn
on the music and observe. The most hard
ened criminal in the gallery longs to d"
something for that poor girl, hates the vii
Jan and his congenial vices, and probably
sniffles. So for so good. 1t is safe to say
that nc jury in the world-no ordinary
jury could withstand the pitieous appeal
of the lawyer when he mentions the pris-
oner's aged mother if the lawyer accom-
panied the same appeal with weeping VI
brations of well-tuned catgut Imagine
the scene Judge in tears; the sobbing OF
the jury plainly audible; the pity of the
prisoner for his own poor oppressed sell;
his resolves for better life; the visible
agitation of the turnkeys; and unanimous
verdict in favor of the defen dant He
might walk out of the courtroom a free
man, firm in his determination not to kill
another wife, no matter what the provoca
tion. All this, of course, if the prosecution
had not engaged rival orchestra. Perhaps
the effect of the music might tend to curb
his passions for the rest of his natural life,
in either case.
But to the point. In the talk of the
gathered musicians it was suggested tha,
a compulsory course of classic and high
grade music in our penal institutions might
prove means OF ultimate reformation and
refinement of the bsser human tendencies
Why mott What argument can be used

Friendship.

People talk OF friendship as though 1t
were an ordinary and altogether natural
thing to have plenty of friends. How lit
tie they understand the word To have
one friend who is genuine, who will not
prsake your when it means self-sacritce to
him, is to have a treasure rsrer than six
teen karat diamonds. The story OF Damo n
and Pythias gives US some idea of what
friendship means. But even that might
be improved upon. 1t would be easy to show
how it could be more difficult to live for a
friend than to die for him. Acquaintnce-
ship tends TO breed friendship Of the luke
warm, milk and water kind, but ordinary
mountaineering is only sufficient to show
you the selfishness OF some hearts and the
hollowness of others.
True friendship is based upon natural
knowledge. "He who understands me is
my friend, " says Emerson. That is the
secret of it. We are apt to impute bad mo-
tives to people who are only mistaken
who were the victims OF influences which
perverted them, and who have come to
look upon wrong as right. Every man
abors under moro or less delusions which
education has made part of his nature.
If we understand what a man has had to
contend with, what his trials, temptations,
advantages and disadvantages have been,
we are in position to judge him justly
And are likely to ad nire. Children be-
come friends quickly because they are apt
to grow confidential and frankly tell each
other all they know of themselves. But
true friendship is that natural affinity that
two souls as like as possible, have for each
other, and is a much rarer commodity than
people generally suppose.

as good condition as South Carolina.

has not been driven out of the State.
Hangers on have been made to turn
loose, and the State government costs
about half a million less per annum

there any objection to that2 If there

will get as much legitimate protection

capital must behave itself. Capital
must be satisfied with reasonable re-
turns, and that is the reason some cap
italists are not in love with the reform
party Capitalistic robbery is worse
than highway robbery, for the victims
of capitalists robbery have no redress
in courts; the courts will protect US
from high way robbery and punish the

THE BEAUTIFUL IN FARM LIFE.
EDGAR l..

EDGAR L.
There is some danger that farmers
will become so intent on making their
lands pay a money return that they
will lose sight of much that is beautl
full in country life. 1t is not all OF life
to be able to say at the end OF each
year that there is a good margin On
the right side of the farm account.
This is all right, of course; we are on
the farm as a business. We ought to
do our best to make it pay. But it will
not do to make money the sole object
of our labor, This is especially true if
we have children. To bend every
energy, from daylight to dark, from
weeks end to weeks end and from one
years beginning to another, to the get
ting of money, is d~emoraliziDg to the
farmer, to his wife and doubly 10 to
his children. Life's beginning is a most
Important era. If to the young it be
clouded by the gloom of a home where
the only objectin living is to getmoney,
the shadow rarely lifts. The whole
life will be tinged with the memory of
those early days on the farm. I be
lieve that is great reason why so
many leave the farm. Their lives in
the old home we're a ~ceaseless grind, IN
relieved by anything which touched
the tenderer side of nature. What,
then, shall we do to remedy this7
Make home as beautiful as possible.
Suppose the house is old and you are
not able to build another. Beautify it
as much as you an. Set out trees
around it, clear away weeds, tumble
down fences, and all unsightly objects.
Let grass grow green and fresh all
about it. Plant flowers in pleasant
places. And SO all over the farm. It
will cost only a little time to make it
beautiful. Inside make the house home
like. A few books and papers; music
if you can afford it; at eventide let
there be an ingathering of all the chill.
dren. Read aloud to them and have
them read also. Be one of them and
have a share in all that interests them.
Study nature with them. How many
know the names and habits of the birds
which fit about in summer4 Who of
as can tell the names of the flowers
which spring up everywhere on the
farm7 This may seem to some farmers
tall nonsense" From such a decision
l most earnestly appeal. The little
lives entrusted to us are the most
precious of all Gods gifts to us. 1t
lies in power to dwarf them or help
them unfold and reach heights of sue
cess we ourselves may attain.
We have no right to entail upon
children the heritage which many
parents do when they teach them to
hate farm life. There is no place on
earth which is nearer to Natures heart
than the farm. We ought to love it
and teach our children to love it, too
Farm life pays if it leads him who fol
lows it one single step higher than he
was at first. No matter whether we
die rich in money Or not if at the last
our friends can say of us that weloved
Nature and Natures God, end pointed
the way up to them.

TO CURE A COLD--TO PREVENT
ONIONS FROM SPROUTING.
WASHINGTON. D G.

Il
Mr.. EDITOR:-Some years ago whilst
farming in North Carolina discovered
(through the medium of rats) what APP
pears to be a simple and effective
mode to prevent onions from sprout
ing. Rats had access to the onions and
they ate out the hard portion that sus
tains the roots, of a portion thereof,
leaving a porti5n of the onions IN
touched. They generally did their
work very nicely, eating the hard por-
tion to the depth Of about one eighth
to n quarter of an inch below the
surface, but the residue of the onion
they did not modest. When spring ap-
preached I noticed that the onions that
had been operated upon, as aforesaid,
did not sprout, keeping in good condi-
ton for a considerable time after the
residue had sprouted and been ruined.
From the foregoing we deduce the
following: That if the bulb at bottom
that sends out the roots be cut off with
a sharp knife the onions will not sprout
and can be kept in good condition sew
eral months longer than usual. AS to
whether or not the cut should extend
below the surface is a matter to be de,
cided by experiment.
TO CURE A GOLD.
Omit dinner. For supper fry a bowl
full Of onions tender and good. Eat,
partaking Of but little other food, and
retire to a warm bed.
