Moses Not a Myth.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Allow me to ask Nick odemus. II Moses is q
myth. what Is Christianity. or Islamism. or
Buddhism. In fact. any Of the religions and
crecds of tho world. which are nothing more
than plagiarism Of the doctrines OF Mosesf On
the strength OF Nick odemus's assertion. all Of tn.
above mentioned forms Of religion must neees-
sariiy fall to pieces as being mythical. and con.
sequsntly without foundation. Jesus himself said
II have not come to alter the laws Of Moses
which Is not only a corroboration Of the ex-
istencs Of Moses. but also . strong animation
that his laws must not be tempered with. Now
comes Nick odemus. who. as his nams implies
must be a Greek Of the most orthodox type. with
the insinuation that Moses, the ideal man. the
man of God. In fact the greatest man that ever
lived. is a myth! o Temporal! o mores!

veiled Their LONELINESS.

During the tenth century no woman
was allowed to appear at church without
q veil. 1t had to be,a real veil, too, cover
ing and concealins the features, in order
that the prayers and meiitations Of the
men might not be disturbed by the con-
temptation Of feminine lovehness. There
was a tradition that the origin of the GUS
tom was in an order from a.great French
saint. When young man, be met a lit
tie girl with features SO noble and beauti-
full that, although he was many years her
senior, he immediately fell in love with
her, because she rcsembled young lady
to whom he had been engaged years before,
but who died in his arms. The man and
the child separated, and he became priest.
Many years later he saw her in the congre-
cation, just as he was entering the pulpit
to preach, and the sight disturbed him to
such an extent that his sermon was a fail
ure, and he ordered all the women thence
forth to wear veils.-St. Louis Globe-Dem

YOUTHFUL PIANO PUPILS.
A Side Talk With Parents About Things to
DO and Not to Do.

Do ana NOT TO Do.
Out of the hundreds and thousands OF
young people who take music lessons,
how many ever develop into even fair
players? How many graduate, so tc
speak, without ability to play waltz
IN time or a march with spirit? How
many drop their music, with relief, as
soon as they reach an age at which they
are allowed to judge for themselves?
Where lies the blame? A correspond
ent, writing in The Etude, claims that
the cause OF an enormous number of de-
serters may be found in the eternal
snubbing the little student receives at
homo from its nearest relatives:
Don't pick out tunes with one finger.
You mako me nervous
For mercy's sake, shut the piano and
stop drumming!"
Or the remark having a contrary but
equally vexatious significance, "Put
down that book and go to your prac-
tice. i"
And so on, ad infnitum, but all add
ing to the pupils growing disgust of
the piano. Their music is always i'm
pressed upon them as task. They are
too often coerced and bullied into play
ing their pieces, the parent demand
ing the exhibition as sort of return for
the money expended, instead of being
asked to contribute their music as an
addition to the family flreside pleasure.
Annoying, lazy, ungrateful children
often appear and yet what sensitive,
suffering little things they really are!
Scarce an hour can pass but their honor
is insulted, or their quantity shrined
modesty is shocked, or their sensibilities
are wrung and tortured. The older per-
son sees what the child does not-that
devotion to scales and exercises is neces-
sary to produce the skillful player-but
if once child learns love Of music it
will learn for and by itself to appreciate
the value of earnest work. Their volun-
tary application will be of immeasura-
bly, more benefit to them than the COM
pulsory practice, against which their
hearts rebel and their very muscles pro-
test
How, then, may this necessary love
for their music be brought to them or
developed within them? 1t will come
when the piano is removed from the
lonely horror Of tho chest parlor' and
placed in the sitting room. 1t will come
when the little students are allowed
(not lawlessly, but in the proper hours
to pick out their harmless little tunes
and compose their monotonous little
airs. 1t will come when their practice
hour is artfully chosen SO as not to clash
eternally with their dearly priced play
times and outdoor enjoyments. Above
all will it come when they are taught
the wonderful mystery that music is a
speech, a language. which will translate
their wayward moods in intelligible
harmonies.
