A Composer Thinks All Living Things SEN
sItivc to Musical Tones.
"The Influence Of Music on Man, AMI
mails and Plants was discussed by Di-
rector Asger Hamerik In lecture at the
Peabody conservatory. OF the second
part Of his subject he said:
"There Is no doubt of music's power
In animals. All singing birds are sub
ject to the influence. The spider, the
mouse and the snake can be charmed
with tunes. saw on st. Paul street

on the keyboard Of my piano and, with
kind Of murmur, try to initiate the
human voice. making an effect that, II
not musical, showed at least that the
dogs mind attempted something in that
direction.
II have had personal experience with
the musical qualities Of mice. for once

clusion that they undoubtedly were in
some way influenced by and very sus-

"The song Of the bird and the growing

They have a kind of chirping for that

good dinner. OF when the sun shines
brightly and warmly, or when any other
canse makes it think that life is worth
living. the rooster crows joyously. Mu-
sic is with man also an expression Of
emotion, but with him it has been re-
duced 10 science and is not, therefore,
used naturally for every expression Of
happiness, as with the uneducated and

material in all such animals that could
be developed and cultivated in some
way."-Baltimore Sun.

SnYn tho Inrnsia.

Some years ago the government OF
Bavaria sent n skilled forester TO study
the conditions of timber growth in tho
United States. While here he made the
remark, ms if speaking of a matter gen
orally known and accepted:
'In 30 years you will have to import
your timber, and as you will probably
prefer American kinds we shall begin to
grow them, in order to be ready to send
them to you at the proper time"
What an instance of scientific fore
thought, and withal what a warning!
Perhaps it is not yet too late to grow
on our own lands the timber we shall
need generation or two hence, but il
we are to do so it is time to take rigor-
ous steps to stop reckless forest destruc.
tion and to encourage scientific cultiva-
ton.
While our government sells outright
its forest lands for So. 3 0 an acre, France
obtains almost exactly the same sum
yearly from each acre of its forest land
by sales of timber. We spend our cap
ital; France makes an income, and
safeguards its capital.
Palissy, the famous French potter,
who was wise in other things as we'll
as in porcelain, declared that the neg
lect of forests in his day was mot
mistake, but calamity and curse for
France" That country has since
learned the lesson. When will ours
follow its Youths Compan-
ion.

SOME OLD lime GAMES.

Many of tho Present Day Sports Were Bor-
rowod From the Past.
II is curious to note how somo of the
games Of the early ages have been hand
ed down to the present time. Tho game,
for instance, known to most of us as
odd and even was also favorite with
the young Egyptian, and many of the
little counters that he used are still
preserved in the British museum. There
is also the game of drafts, which was
played on checkered board in the earli-
est times. The poor children were con-
tent with craftsmen and boxes made Of
rough pieces of clay, but the richer ones
usually had beautifully carved iron
headed craftsmen and boxes.
The young Greeks, too, were we'll
provided with toys and games for their
amusement. The toys were chiefly dolls
made of baked clay, the arms and legs
being jointed with string. and there
fore movable. They had a favorite game
called Chytriand, which has been pre-
served through many ages, and is now
played by boys Of today under the well
known name of puss in the corner. In
France the game is called quatre coins,
or four corners. Both in the old game
and in the modern version FIVE players
are required, one occupying each of the
corners, while the fifth player stands
in the middle. In ancient Greece he
wore an earthen pipkin on his head and
was called pot in France mt the pres
ent day he is tho nlgaud, or simpleton,
and by MS is called puss,
TO guess tho number of fingers anoth-
er held up was also favorite amuse-
meut, and this, too, is frequently play
ed mt tho present time. So you see how
carefully the character of the amuse-
ments and the playthings Of the very
early ages has been maintained in the
toys and games in use today. New
