falsetto to the orgsn-like roll of the deep
bass set" OF course, on an absolutely
calm day it is almost impossible to catch
the murmur of passing harmonies and the
breeze was so languid yesterday that only
a trained ear could catch and differentiate
the varying harp-like tones.
Despite the far superior musical advan-
tages of the city jewellers, there is more
natural love of melody, and the musical
ear is more common in the country. This
is shown by the fact that the most original
and pleasing harmonious sets" seen yes
terday were worn by elderly men, whose
dress and bearing stamped them as country
bred. City whiskers are too apt to be stiffly
conventional and c:ose cropped, seeming to
the music lover like stringless harps mute

One of the most peculiar wills ever drawn
up in Suffolk county has recently been filed.
The property involved is on Longwood

document the widow is to receive the use
and income Of the real estate during her
life. At her death the property is to go to

be divided into three equal parts by imagin-
airy lines drawn from the front to the back

house The second daughter is TO have the
center third of the garnet and cellar and the
middle and easterly thirds of the first floor
The son will draw the easterly third OF the
basement and loft and the middle and east
erly thirds of the second floor. He is to be
allowed the use of the steps inside the house
until reasonable time has elapsed for him to
build stairs on the outside of the house
The expense Of keeping the house and ward

the three.

A new FAD FOR COLLECTORS
Drought Frightens Their Proud
Owners.
STYLES OF DIFFERENT KEYS

From the Philadelphia Press.
Every good son of Islam swears by the
beard of the prophet, and although the re-
ligious sanctity of whiskers is many points
lower in more civilized countries, the study
of hirsute adornment is full Of interest, and
has been lamentably neglected. 1t is true
that the last few months have been very
poor growing weather. and the long
drought has blighted some Of the finest
"sets" of whiskers in the city.
Indeed, the owners of luxuriant and trop-
fcal growths are in constant dread of forest
fires, If the term may be used in this con-
nection. Were carelessly handled match
or lighted cigar to start a confiagration of
this nature any forenoon in the lobby of
any prominent hotel, it is highly probable
that whisker holocaust would startle the
city.

therefore, remarkable that the note Of the
Van Dyke is not simple tone. but is a
harmony-a chord which is always in a
minor key. The reporter passed half a
dozen young business men who appeared
eminently practical and well fed, yet their
accurately cropped Van Dykes responded
to the soft breeze in sad minors. which
gave the hearer a feeling of deep melan-
choly.
The painter and the musician appreciate
the peculiar pathos Of the Van Dyke tim
bre, and Ii is nit and proper that the soulful
strain should awaken their aesthetic feel
ings. On a business man. however, the Van
Dyke is an inccngruity. The unique pathos
OF this strain arises from the fact that no
two hairs are of the same length. owing to
the triangular shape and careful trimming.
The resulting harmony must, therefore. De
complex, end musical experts will readily
understand the minor strain, which is SO
characteristic of the music of primitive peo-
pies. STUDENTS OF ethnoloSy may see in this
similarity an argument for Van Dyke, as
the beard OF primevaL man.
