Feelings of Many Ages.

Holk Songs shnw the Habits. BelSofs an1
FeelinRs of Many Ages.
In the folk songs of the different ma
lions Of tho world men of science will
one day recognize body of evidence
of great value in the study of popular
origins, facial relations, primitive
modes of thought. ancient customs. an.
tiquc religions and many other things
These folk songs are the echoes OF
the heart beats of the vast, vague, ir-
resistible people. In them are crys-
talized ha bits, beliefs aud feelings OF
unspealsable antiquity; yet not in the
words of the songs alone. Study OF
folk song text is only half study; in.
deed, it is study of the lesser half
of the subject in respect of
truthfulness. The words of the
peoples songs are record of exter-
nails chiefly. and very often they arc
only half truths. If we would know
the whole story which their creators
put into them, consciously or uncon-
sciously, we must hear also the music.
As the term implies, the folk song is
the product of people, and people
do not lie. Music is an essential ele-
ment of it. and music not only does
MOTT can not lie. The things which,
are at the bottom of music, without
which it could not he, are unconscious
human products. We all act on a rec
ignition of this fact when we judge of
the Sc ntiments of another, not SO much
by yvha he says to us as by his man
ner of saying it. The feelings which,
sway us publish themselves in the
pitch, dynamic intensity and timber
of our voices. Try as may. If we
are powerfully moved we can not con-
ceal the fact If we open our mouths
for utterancc.
1nvoluntarily the muscles of the vo-
cal organs become tense or ralaS in
obedience to the emotional stimuli s.
| and the drama which is playing on the
hidden stage of our carts is disclosed
by tho tones which we utter. do rot
say in the words, mind. but in the
| tones The former may be false, but
| the tones are endowed with the ele
| ments already enumerated. Of pitch,
| intensity and timbre, and the modula-
| ton of these elcme nts makes expressive
melody. Silenrs has recognized this
| law and Herbert Spencer has formu
lated it: Variations of the voice are
| the physiological results OF variations
of feelings:'' and feelings are muscn
| lar stimuli Thus simple is the ex
| Dlana ton of the inherent truth fulnes:
and expressivcness of the peoples mu'
sic.-Musical Herald.

Sacred NunlberS.

All of the general oddity writer's in
the United States have taken turns at
proving the seven to be a sacred num-
her, and even the great Talmage has
preached sermon with that number
as his theme. The three, however, and
its surprising number OF occurrences in
sacred literature have seldom been
mentioned. That singular signifi-
canoe is attached to that number can
be easily proven. Noah had three
sons: Jonah was three days and nights
IN the whales belly; there were three
patriarehs-Abr Isaac and Jacob
Daniel was thrown into den with
three lions for praying three times a
day; three persons. Shadrach, Meshech
and Abednego, were rescued from the
fiery furnaces: Job had three true
friends; the commandments were de-
livered on the third day: the dreams of
Pharaoh's baker and butler were to
come to pass in three days; the sacred
letters on the cross We're three in num-
ber-I. H. s.; the three conditions of man
are earth, hell. and Heaven. and lastly
we have the Holy Trinity-Fatl,cr,
Son and Holy Ghost.--St. Louis Repub-

turned to see the girl lying in a drag

WHAT is GEOLOGY.
The Science One That Has Been Yer
Happily Named.

The Science One That Has Been Very
Happily Named.
The science of geology is happily
named. for freely rendered from the
it is earthlorc. TO those who are IA
miliar with the many meanings of the
Greek logos which, makes the latter
part of the word, the sense goes yet
further, and includes the explana ton
of the phenomena pertaining to the
planet.
AS is the case with the other sciences,
the limits of geology require some con-
sideration. When we consider this
sphere as one of that celestial family
which constitutes the solar system, we
often the geologist deals with ques-
tions which lie within the domain of
physics, or of chemistry. Again,
in tracing the successive periods,
he finds that his problems lead him
into the domains of the botanist or the
BIOLOGIST. When he deals with the
last stages of the development of life
he finds himself in contact with huma n
remains. SO that the history of man
kind and of human customs, the
| sciences of anthropology and ethnoloEy
must be called on to lend their aid to
| his researches. In fact, every branch
| of physical and biological science has
| to enter into the loGos, or explanation
| of the earth. Thus we see that the
earth-lorc is not to be regarded as 4
separate branch of learning, but should
rather be considered as an accumula
| ton of knowledge, the separate parts
| being bound together by the fact that
they all pertain to the history of this
| majestic orb. and serve to give us ar
| account of it's order and its history
