THE TOPICAL SONG.
Tony Pastor Thinks It Has q Power to
Mold Public Opinion.

Tony Pastor Thinks II Has q Power to
Mold Public Opinion.
Tony Pastor, in the New York Mirror,
has this to say Of the topical song;
II am great reader Of the newspapers.
believe not only in the public press, but
In Its utility. 1t is the most valuable
agent the vocalist has ever had for secur-
Ing subjects for popular songs. The comic
vocalist must be quick to perceive the pc.
culiar topic or phrase of human life which
is liable to interest the amusement going
public and must be little ahead of time.
Having selected my subject for song, I
Jot down few ideas about it as they come
to me and afterward put them into shape
"The fads and the ultra fashions of both
women and men are always fair game for
the comic singer. Songs on some of the
most commonplace themes will often en-
tertain an audience, such as fellows best
girl, tho old mans boot, the mother-in
law, the soolding wife and SO forth.
SIT has been found that the comic song
exerts an influence In political contests
and in bringing about social reforms. The
comic vocalist of the speciality theater may
claim with tho journalist and the states
man the ability to mold public opinion.
His shafts Of melodious ridioule do much
to reform fragrant abuses and cause the
general public to laugh to scorn the foolish
fads of tho day"

LIGHTHOUSE LIBRARIES.
Uncle Sam Furnishes the Watchers By the
Sea with Free Reading Matter.

Uncle Sam Furnishes the Watchers By the
Sea with Free Reading Matter.
Tho popular impression concerning the
lighthouse keepers is that they spend their
leisure time In resting their heads on their
hands and gazing far out to sea- watching
for shipwreoked mariners, sea serpents and
other things. As q matter Of fact, how
ever they don't spend any more time In
this manner than they can help. They
have their domestic operations Just tho
same as people on shore. In favored loca-
tions they arc even able to cultivate lit
tie ground and raise their own vegetables.
But they are really very often lonesome,
and were more SO until recently, when 1t
occurred to some phllanthropio govern
ment official that 1t would be good idea
to provide these watchers by the sea with
somethlng In the way Of reading matter.
Tho idea took shape In the construction of
portable libraries, TO be filled by the gov
ernment, sent to one lighthouse station,
and mt regular intervals to be called for
and passed ON to the next one on the list
The library furnished to light stations
is about feet high, Q feet wide and
inches deep, OF shellacked white pine,
strengthened with heavy brass trimmings.
1t has two shelves. Its two doors are So
cured, the one with an inside bolt and the
other with a mortised lock. On the sides
are hinged handles. When locked, the IL
brary cases can stand rough handling.
The cases Of the libraries are SO con-
structed that they make neat appearance
when set upright on table; when closed
and locked, they are ready for transporta-
tion. Each contains on an average about
40 volumes Of proper admixture of his
torical and scientific works, besides poetry
and good novels. An exchange Of libraries
takes place once in about three months,
usually at the time when the lighthouse
inspector makes his quarterly inspection.
Each station to which library Is furnish
ed thus has the use Of about 160 different
books each year. There are now about
TOO of these libraries In circulation, and
more are in preparation. Preference is
given in their distribution to those light
house stations most distant from towns
and villages. York World.
