May and NTatrimony.

The pagans had a myth that "only
bad women marry in May" They had
another, that if the. marriage did take
place the couple would live most unhap-
PLY, and children born Of the marriage
If it was not hopelessly rendered bar
rem by thus slapping the fates in the
face-would be deformed or imbecile.
With prizes like that in prospect, it is
not much wonder that the ignorant and
snperstitious taboo May marriages, but
there is no excuse yet for this idiosyn-
Grassy of thinking people-at least, no
sensible one
Ovid was firm believer in the su-
perstltion and said that no widow or
young girl wculd marry in May unless
she wished to invite the displeasure of
the gods, and that the imprudent WON
an who braved their wrath would fill an
early grave. Ovid pinned his faith to
rosy June, the birth month of June, and
when he got ready to launch his daugh-
ter on the matrimonial sea he studied
the stars and all the superstitions to
make sure that he would not run upon
Scylla in steering off Charybdis
Resolved to match the girl, he tried to find
what days unprospcrous were, what moons
were kind.

THE ORGAN.
Its Peculiar Fitness For the Form of Com
position Known as the Fugue

It's Peculiar Fitness For the Form of Com
position Known the Fugue.
Tho organ as it existed in Bach's day,
and as In most essentials it exists now.
IS an instrument peculiarly suggestive
In regard to the realization of the finest
and most complete effects of harmony.
of meditation and of that simultaneous
progression of melodies in polyphonio
combination which is most completely
illustrated in the form of composition
known as the fugue. 1t is SO for two or
three reasons. In the first place it is the
only instrument in which the sounds are
sustained with the same intensity for
any required length of time after they
are first emitted. However long a note
may have to be sustained, its full value
Is there till the moment the finger quits
the key, quality which is invaluable
when wo are dealing with long suspen-
slons and chains Of sound. Secondly, the
opportunity of playing the bass with the
feet on the pedals, leaving the left hand
free for the inner parts, puts within the
grasp OF single player a full and ex-
tended harmony and Il freedom in nnanip-
ulation such as no other instrument af-
fords. Thirdly, and in the case especial
lyof fugue compositions, the immense
volume and power of the pedal notes i'm
part grandeur to the entry of the bass
part i'll the composition such MS no other
medium for producing music can give
US. In the time of Bach this splendid
source of musical effect was confined to
the great organs of Germany.
The English organs of the day had in
general no pedal board, and it is prob
ably owing to this fact more than 90 any
thing else that Handels published organ
music is so light, and even cphemeral
in style as compared with Bach's; that
he treated the organ, as Spitta truly OBJ
serves, merely like larger and more
powerful harpsichord. Without the aid
OF the pedal it would be rather difficult
to do otherwise, and the English organ
OF the day was i'll every respect much
lighter and thinner affair than the
huge house of the sounds, the thun-
der of which was stored in the organ
gallery of many Lutheran church.

The First Baseball Mask.

James A Tying in letter to the New
York Sun describes the origin of the base
ball mask as follows:
90 The first public appearance Of tho mask
was In the spring of 1877. was at that
time member of the Harvard nine, and
Th"yer, who was then captain of the team,
wanted mo to fill tho position of catcher.
To this my family were opposed on &C.
count of tho danger and suggested to
him tho idea of having mask made that
would protect my face. He followed my
suggestion, and q wircmaker in Boston
made INC mask which, although heavy
and clumsy compared to the one now in
use, answered the purpose for which it
was intended, and this mask was worn by
me In the three remaining years that I
played and caught on the nine. Thayer
took out patent on the invention and
l believe has made quito large sum of
money out of it This latter statement
however, Is entirely on hcarsay, as neither
tho poor wircmaker nor the original sug-
gester of the idea of such protection for
the catcher has ever seen any of tho fruits
OF his ingenuity"

She could live alone,

For her friendship true.

For her friendship still no sued her
Such simple thing
Till before she knew he wooed her,
Wooed her with friendship ring.
Now, although she's fond Of Plato,
Her cold hearts grown warm,
And her theories of living
Have imbibed wondrous charm,

The ceremonial that tho revolution,
swept away tho first Emperor Napoleon
was careful to revive in q less extreme
form, and it is characteristic of the man
that he made special study of it and
went SO far as to prescribe the special
forms to be observed on great occasions
Before his coronation, NJ. Isabey, the mini
aturc painter, gave seven rehearsals with
wooden dolls appropriately dressed of the
seven ceremonies that were to be enacted
And, one ceremony being especially intri-
cate, the functiOnaries rehearsed it in per
son in the gallery of Diana at the Tuil-
cries, a plan having been carefully tracec
with chalk ON the floor.
This was the sort of thing in which Nh,
poleon especially rejoiced, and he himself
arranged beforehand all the details of the
entry of Maria Louisa into France and OF
his subsequent marriage with her. Among
other particulars, on reaching what was
then French territory the archduchess was
conducted into the eastward room Of a
three roomed house near Braunau. The
French commissioner entered the west
ward, while the third room in the middle
was occupied by the rest of the party. And
NJ. de Bausset, who gives an account Of
the proceedings, having bored holes with a
gimlet in the door of the middle room, had
splendid view of the unconscious prin-
cess. But, he quantity adds, it was the la
dies who took most advantage of his fore
thought.-London Standard.
