THE PLEASURES OF LIFE.

In considering this vast and univer-
sal expansion of civilization, with its
many conceptions and diversities of
opinion, from an individual standpoint,
the idea naturally occurs to us, "what
strange world this isl Strange, in
deed, to the narrow imagination OF
some, and, perhaps. cruel and harsh.
But, dear reader, the world can not be
held accountable for the myriad of
evils perpetrated on this mundane
sphere. Nor is it responsible for the
numerous crimes of all shades which
occupy space in our daily newspapers,
sending thrill of horror through the
public mind. No, we should not blame
the world, but the people who constl-
tute the world must answer for these
crimes. For does not Father Time,
regardless of man or his creations, con-
tinue his ceaseless journey towards
that ever approaching millennium when
time will be no more, and each individ-
ual will be arranged before that great
bar of judgment to answer for his
own sins?,
The pleasures of life are diversified
according to diversity of opinion.
What peases some may prove dull
monotony to others. There are people
who delight in joining literary societies,
debating clubs and charitable associa-
tions, thereby occupying their minds
and hearts in discussing the vital ques'
tions of the day, and endeavoring to
solve the most complex problems by
throwing the searchlight of intelligence
around our social system. Others pre-

upright. When the music changed to
a gay and ripping waltz movement;
and the girl, so recently lying at the
point of death, stepped out onto the
floor, and as she was received in the
arms of. her now happy mother, her
only words were 81 love him. Paga-
mini had spoken not one word. Their
courtship, which lasted during her
convalescence, is one of the purest
and most beautiful events recorded III
literature. Their love was never ex-
pressed in words, but in the subtle soul
language of music.
Medical authorities have frequently
directed attention to the powerful in
fiuence that music exercises through
the mind upon the body, by stimulating
or depressing mental energy. The sue
cessful theatrical manager recognizes
it's force and heightens the effect of
drama to wonderful degree by its aid,
as in the old but always popular rip
Van Wrinkle" when Gretchen, having
reached the limit of her endurance
drives Rip forth into the stormy night.
The pathos of the scene is augmented
by soft adagio strains of music, which
reach the deepest recesses of our hearts
and bring unbidden tears to our eyes.
Later when Rip meets the crippled
demon. the music changes to rollicking
mirth- provoking air that puts us in the
laughing mood, and transports us in
moment of time from the sublime to
the ridiculous. Again, the scene shifts
when the demons assemble in council
and the music becomes simply awe
inspiring. | can hardly conceive the

this law becomes general throughout
the state we may look for an increase
of insanity; crime will be of more
vicious nature, and committed with
greater recklessness and less fear of
consequences. The theory that county

others, may just as we'll be applied to
any town or city in the state.

THE POWER OF MUSIC.

1t has been said, and with much
truth, that a man who loves music
can not be wholly bad, and that man
who does not love music can not be
wholly good. There are, however, very
few who do not like music OF some
sort, and nothing will appeal to mans
better nature more fOrcibly than its
strains. An Italian bandit when about
to strike the murderOus blow that
would have robbed the world of an
enchanter, the grand old Stradella,
was so overcome by emotion as he
listened to his glorious music that ne
let the weapon drop harmless to the
ground and wept like child. Such
was the influence of music upon even
that fierce, bloodthirsty nature.
In ancient history one finds numer-
Gus instances where music was used to
exercise evil spirits. There is a record
of the songs that were devoted in
ancient Egypt to the promotion OF
virtue and morality in the education
of youth, and music was often en-
ployed to heal the sick. A touching
story is told of the one love episode in
the life of the immortal Paganinl.
During his aimless wanderings with
his violin over the continent of Europe,
he happened in a city where lived a
noble and wealthy Spaniard whose
daughter lay at the point of death.
She was not expected to live out the
day and her many friends were gath
cred in and about the mansion to
mourn the loss of the beautiful and
accomplished maiden, but were not
permitted to see her as it was feared
the least excitement would hasten the
end. She had heard of the presence Of
Paganini in the city, and being pas
sionately fond of music begged he
father to bring him to her bedside Will
his violin that she might hear hin
play before she died. The attendin,
physicians reluctantly gave consen
and the father hastened to bring tn
"Demon Fiddler as he was thel
called, to his magnificent abode tina
his daughters last wish might be graf
flied. AS Paganini stood before tn
couch and gazed upon the palli
beauty of the stricken girl and into tn
pure depths of her expressive brow
eyes, he was overcome with love an
pity and when he played, at first so sol
and low that it could but just K
heard, the music seemed to whispt
caressing words of love that brougl
a faint tinge of color to the sunke
cheeks of his listener and sparkle
her eyes. Gradually the music gre
louder and louder until he seemed
be pouring out his very soul in cras
of enhancing melody. The girl TO

through acceptance of revela-
tion and faith in the assurance OF a
divine messenger to man. This must
ever be the most satisfying, readiest,
and most common method of accepting
the doctrine of immortality; a method
which appeals to all, and which re-
quires no philosophic study for its
mental reduction.
But we think it will be the uniform
testimony, even of the Christian be-
lever, that faith is not always trium-
phant. AS we stand by the bed OF
death and watch the final struggles of
departing vitality, with nothing mani
fest but the automatic action of the
physical machinery, as we survey the
lifeless form, or stand by the open
grave, or as we mark the sudden ex-
tinction of life, at one moment view a
self conscious, self determining per-
sonality, the next behold an inert, life,
less form,-who is there that has not
felt the rise of questionings which can
never be answered, and face to face
with this mystery of daily experience

with sinking heart that faith is not al

SWELLED HEAD.

This malady, though prevalent, is not
listed in medical works, for the reason,
no doubt, that it can not be accounted
for or treated upon scientific principles.
The disease is not essentially fatal, but
is extremely offensive, especially to
those who must come in contact with
the patient. The patient does not seem,
to all appearances, to suffer any acute
pain, on the contrary he rather enjoys
his ailment, though the forces of the
malady continue to silently and surely
accomplish their work.
Many diagnosises of this strange ma
lady have been made. Some difference
of opinion being expressed as regards
minor points, but all agreeing in the
sum total. Probably the most gener-
ally accepted, and withal the most reli-
able diagnosis is the following:
Magnum Capita (Swelled Head) an
attempted swelling of the brain lobes,
precipitated by an abnormal growth OF
the bump of self esteem; made invlsl-
BILE by the Uranium casing, and, per-
force, imperceptible to the eye or to
measurements. The general effect,
however, being the same as though the
actual swelling had been accomplished
as the brain becomes compressed and
jammed between the walls of the cram
ium, giving to the sufferer the sensa-
ton of an enlargement of the head.
This illusion becoming tixity, the pa
tient suffers all the symptoms of an
actual enlargement.
Briefly, the symptoms are as follows:
The voice loses it's natural tone and
assumes that of affectation. In conver-
sation the patient takes upon himself
the responsibility of doing all the talk
ing, ignoring entirely the attempted ex-
pressions of others, or, if permitted, af-
fects not to have heard them. The
sufferer also develops remarkable
familiarity with the Encyclopedia
Brittanica, being able to offer with
great facility an opinion upon any sub
ject from the muse to punchinga needle
} eve, assuming the while an air of high
superiority, and evidently saying with
in himself Il am the King Pin with
: big K" but oh, "What fools these NOR
tails be!' In short, we find very ordl-
nary brain presuming to give out the
product of very extraordinary one
