"The Influence Of Music on Man, AM
mails and Plants was discussed by Ek
rector Asger Hamerik in lecture at Tho
Peabody conservatory. OF the senmA
part of his subject he said.
"There is no doubt of mufdcs power
in animals. All singing birds are sub
ject to the influence. The spider, the
mouse and tho snake can be charmed
with tunes. | saw on st. Paul street
one day a runaway horse stop suddenly
where street organ was being played
and tremble all over. had once Cor
don setter that would play with his paw
on the keyboard of my piano and, with
kind of murmur, try to initiate the
human voice, making an effect that, il
not musical, showed at least that the
dogs mind attempted something in that

the musical qualities of mice, for once
used to play the piano in room where
there were many mice. When I played
for little while, out would come troop
ing critical audience of mice, which
seemed perfectly tame so long as the
music lasted. experimental with them
again and again and arrived at the con-
clusion that they undoubtedly were in
some way influenced by and very sus-
ceptible to music. ] grew tired of my
faithful auditors after awhile and closed
the doors of the concert hall to them by
having timer cover the holes and cracks
in the floor.
The song of the bird and the Growing
of the rooster are not their conversation.
They have kind of chirping for that
What. then, do the song and the Growing
mean? Joy, contentment, exultation-as
with man. When rooster has had a
good dinner, or when the sun shines
brightly and warmly, or when any other
cause 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 to science and is not, therefore,
used naturally for every expression OF
happiness, as with the uneducated and
unscientifc rooster or song bird.
81 believe that everything created, like
ourselves, with ears, is susceptible to mu-
steal tones, and it is probable that, if we
could only find it out, there is musical
material in all such animals that could
be developed and cultivated in some

Mrs. Romney,s water Cooler.

The Colorado journalist, Mrs. Rom
ney, has patented, among several other
articles, water cooler which does not
require ice. 1t is a covered receptacle,
of cellular brickware, manufactured of
clay, sawdust and asbestus fiber. In
the process the sawdJ1st IS burned out,
leaving the product cellular, or porous.
The receptacle, with the water to be
kept cool within, stands in tray of
galvanized iron, which holds water to a
depth of two or three inches. BY reason
of the porosity of the cooler and the force
of capillary attraction, the water in
the tray constantly rises through the
cellular walls of the receptacle, and is
as constantly evaporated thereby keep
ing the water inside as cool as it is usu-
ally drawn from we'll or spring. Den

LOVES REMINDERS.

Shy bluebird on yon maple spray.
My coming causes you surprise.
You CRY aloud and fly away
On wings that glitter as they rise;
So blue are they. so slxyey clear,
Unequaled bliss their beaming brings;
For now think of one most dear,
Whose eyes are bright as bluebird's wings
From covert groves glfdes forth trill
OF Wild birds singing Justify,
Yet while list my thoughts win still
Seek her who is most dear to me,
For, oh, her soft and soothing voice
Sounds merrier than the leaping throng
or waters when spring rills rejoice
Its music mates the linnet's song.
Upon a bourgeoned white birch broad
A squirrel gambols spry aud fleet,
Until, by my rude spaniel awed,
She higher mounts on hasty feet;
And as she bounds without a fall
From lower limbs to limbs above
Her agile motions well recall
The fiake-light footballs of my love.

The Emperor and the Pirate,

Alexander the Great was about to pass
sentence of death on noted pirate, but
previously asked him, "Why dost thou
trouble the seasr'
why" rejoined the rover boldly,
"dost thou trouble the whole world2 I,
with one ship, go in quest.of solitary adj
venture and am therefore called pirate.
Thou, with great army, warrest against
nations and therefore art called en-
peror. Sir, there is no difference be-
twixt us but in the name and means Of
doing mischief"
Alexander, so far from being dis
pleased with the freedom of the culprit,
was SO impressed with the force of his
appeal that he dismissed him unpun-
ished. -Sala's Journal.

JUDGE coFFINs FIRST CASE /.

a Blur That Was Called Down In . Most
Humiliating Manner.
The following storyis told of Timothy
Coffin, who was for q long time judge of
the New Bedford district: When very
young man, he was retained in case of
sufficient Importance to bring out almost
every resident of the town, 30 that
the little New Bedford courthouse was
packed when court was opened that
morning. Coffin had been secured as
counsel by the defendant. Although it
was his fret attempt in open court, he
had made little or no preparation, think
ing that he could get through somehow
or other when the time came. Thus,
when the counsel for the defendant came
into court that morning, he was greatly
surprised, and no less agitated, to see the
big crowd and realize the wide public
interest in the trial at hand. he saw
that he had looked upon the case too
lightly. The prosecution was strong,
and he had made not even a slight prep
aration.
To lose the case meant the loss Of a
hoped for reputation. Could he afford to
commit this blunder by displaying his
ignorance Of the case? How could he get
out of 1t? These were few of the ques-
tons that are knoWn to have. flashed

so as to make them, look as natural as

Dress of short Women,

Women who are short must avoid
much trimming on their skirts, be
they stout or slender, as they are
shorter in proportion from the waist tc
the feet, writes Emma M. Hooper,
in an article on "Gowns For the New
Year." in The Ladies' Home Journal.
For the same reason they must omit
wearing large plaids and designs. All
full portions of the waist must be mod
crate in size, as the sleeves, bertha,
belt and vest. The short, wide revers
now worn are becoming, also round
waists and short, pointed basques. Jack
ct fronts are in good taste, but the UNI
brella back basques give short figure
cut off appearance, as do tiny capes,
while a close fitting jacket adds APP
parently several inches. Materials
must be selected with view to making
the wearer look taller.
Advice From "a king.
Kabarega. the negro king of Unyoro,
in Central Africa, is man who rules his
subjects with arod of iron. Like all ty-
rants, he regulates their smallest actions,
and host of spies inform him of any
disobedience to his commands. H.
Among other things, he has made a
fixed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and every
deviation from it is severely punished.
An instance of this is given by Vita Has
san in his book about Emin Pasha and
the Equatorial Province.
About a month after Hassan's arrival
in Unyoro he bought fowl and paid 80
cowries for it, while the market price
was only 25. In that part of Africa it
takes about $50 cowries to make 81.
Soon afterward dragoman of the king
appeared and brought back cowries,
with the message:
"a fowl costs only % cowries, while
you have given 80. The seller has done
wrong, and the king will punish him,
but he sends you the advice to be care
full henceforth in your purchases never
to give for anything more than it is
worth, first of all in your own interest,
and next to this in order not to disturb
the market. youths COMPANION.
