KEY AND BOW

Philip Hale, one of the acknowledged
and reliable music critics in the conserva-
tive town Of Boston, Mass, takes up the
cudgels in a recent number of the Musi-
cal Courier, in defense Of the much-abused
and widely misunderstood critic OF
music.
The immediate cause of this defense is
an article which appeared in W. $. d.
other things, Mr.. Mathews suggests that
general tone of pessimism pervades
critical notices of performances, where
upon Mr.. Hale, who certainly ought to
know whereof he speaks, says:
'Pessimism' seems to me the wrong
word. Discrimination is the better
term, and undoubtedly criticism in this
country is each year more and more dis
eliminating There is less fetch worship.
The music of eminent composers is no
longer accepted blindly in bulk. 1t is now
admitted that even great singers sing
make an opera company. Pianists and
vioinsts nod at times. 1t does not fol
low logically that a composer should be
praised. aud coddled because he is an
American,
"A really admirable performance of
opera or oratorio is extremely rare. Why
should no faults in q performance be
pointed ont? If the faults detract SER
iously from enjoyment and injure the
composer it IS the duty Of the critic to
give them full attention.
Now. if such discrimination is 'pessi-
mlsm. let us all be pessimists. IL is an
evil thing to call that which is bad good.
The display Of mediocrity should not be

he agrees with the writer or believes in

Merely pedagogical analysis and infor-

UNWISE PoSTPONEMENT.

Neglecting Duty Which Ought to Be
Done Now.
On general principles there Is no
more foolish method of taking life
easy than by deferring an obvious
duty. Especially foolish is the per-
son who postpones the work of cleans
ing his blood. There are many rea-
sons why this work should be done in
the spring. This is the cleansing sea-
son, and the blood needs cleansing be-
fore all things else. That tired feel
ing Is due to vxiated condition of the
vital fluid. The pimples and other
eruptions which appear are indications
that the blood has become loaded with
impurities which should be expelled at
once. In no other way can health be
maintained. Now there Is but one true
blood purifier prominently in the pub
lie eye to-day, and that Is Hoods Sar-
saparilla. BY taking a few bottles of
this great blood cleansing medicine
the bodily health can be built up SO
that when the warm weather comes
the system will be able to resist the
debiliating effects of the heated sea-
son. Those who start with good health
In the spring, given them by n thor
ough cleansing of the blood by Hoods
Sarsaparilla, will be likely to pass
through the summer without serious
illness, and when the autumn comes
they will find that they are supplied
with strength which they had never
known at that season before. The
work Of cleansing the blood in the
spring is one of the most important
duties of the season, because pure
blood means good health, and good
health is essential both to happiness
and to the highest usefulness in the
world.

Mcnding Fences.

Every spring there is sure to be some
trouble with fences. Winter winds
have more free sweep than they do
while trees are in full leaf, and the
freezing and thawing of the soil is sure
to tilt posts that are not deeply set in
the ground. These posts should be
driven down with heavy beetle while
the ground is still soft. 1t takes but 4
few blows to put the post where it be-
longs and compact the soil around it.
Loose boards and broken wires can
now be replaced. The breaking of wires
is caused by the contraction of the met
al during severe cold. When the wires
are set on the posts In warm weather
some slack should be allowed for this.

HE WAS a "BUFFER."


Sang Froid of "A Typical English Sentry
While ON Duty.
A certain popular general takes de-
light in talking to young. soldiers espe-
cially when he Is not recognized. One
day Lancashire recruit was posted as
sentry on the Generals quarters. One
of the servants gave him something to
eat. A moment later, short, elderly
man, attired in tweed suit and gait
ers, with his billycock over his eyes,
came up.

sentry.
"Oh, belong here" said the stranger.
"And what are you doing, eating, SEN

"Eh! gasped the sentry, shaking vio-
lently, and holding out the food.
How'd this while gle thee a chuck

The genral turned away to hide
smile he could not suppress at the SEN
try's confusion. A few days later, at
his inspection, the general said he had
met men at different times and places
who failed to recognize him, and hoped
it would not occur in future. Our Ian

exposed to the sunlight In room
where frost is excluded will turn green
and the buds will be of the same color,
II the potatoes are cut and left to dry
one or two days before being planted
the cut places will harden and there
will be no danger of the seed rotting,
however wet and cold the weather
after planting may be. The exposure
of potato sets to sunlight until the buds
are nearly ready to burst into leaf
makes the crop earlier by week or 10
days than from seed planted the same

Oats Too Expensive to Grow.


The low price of oats is due to the
fact that they can be so easily grown.
They are sown in the West especially
on fall-plowed land, or after corn with
out any spring blowing. If the season
is favorable this easily produces a
good crop. But when we consider
what the oats take from the soil, 1t is
found that this easily-grown crop is
very nearly the most expensive that the
farmer can SOW. Dat roots fill the soil
much more thoroughly than does any
other spring grain, not excepting wheat.
The oat leaf Is not broad, and II 1t
were the plant is not one of the kind to
extract from the air the heterogeneous
elements with which the grain is filed.
We do not wonder, therefore, that many
Eastern farmers are dropping oats out
of the rotation. If it Is not convenient
for them to buy what oats they feed,
they can grow enough for home use.
But for most kinds of stock n mixture
of oil meal with ground corn furnishes
the oat ration in a much cheaper form
than it can be got in the oat grain

Habits of Bees.

1t Is said that under favorable cir
cumstances colony of 10000 bees may
store about two pounds of honey in a
day. or 10000 bees in hive, which
is moderate sized colony. half of them
stay at home keeping house, tending
the babies, feeding the queen and
guarding the stores. In fine, clear
weather, worker may gather three
or four grains of honey in a day. AS
large colonies contain as many as 5O,-
600 bees, it may be seen that possibly
5000 individuals are out seeking
honey. The amount each one brings
in is infinitely small, but there is
strength in numbers, and one can read
lily imagine, by watching the little work
crs pouring into hive. that even the
few grains ut time will fill up the
cells quite rapidly. But a single bee
would make slow work Of it, and
would, IL continuously occupied, re-
quire some years to gather one pound
OF honey.-New York Ledger.

True Blood Purifier
Prominently In the Public Eye To-Day
lice Made to Work.

A Scotchman has invented q thread
spinning apparatus, and is said to have
trained two mice to work 1t. The
mechanical principle of the contri-
vance is small mill which is operated
by the paws of the mice. They can
each wind on and off from 100 to 12O
pieces of thread per day, and to do
this they must supply a motor power
by which course of 1O1a miles could
be traversed. 1t is asserted that the
mice perform this task daily without
apparent fatigue, and that half penny
worth of -four furnishes them with
food enough for five weeks. During
that time the little animals have spun
about 1850 threads each, yard and
a half in length.

bad weather. because it shows that
there are aerial currents of different
temperatures, thus probably indicating
