Wien the proposed medioo musical So
ciety Is formed, the theories OF Tarchanon
and his scientific coadjutors will then re-
ceive the frst thorough test In this coun-
try.
Several years ago similar effort was
made on much smaller scale than the one
proposed. Two or three physicians oom-
bined TO test the medical efficacy OF music,
and some interesting facts were demon
strated before the eexperimenters abandoned
the project. Curious experiments were
made at that time among the insane pa
tients on Randall's island.
Four hundred women were congregated
IN the main hall Of the asylum and sub
jected 30 single strain Of piano music for
half an hour. The general effect was TO
raise the pulse and create restlessness.
Individual tests showed odd results. In
the case Of patient afflicted with melan-
cholia the playing Of "Home, Sweet
Home" invariably brought her to her
knees In an ecstasy of devotion. Music
noted on another case, one Of acute mania,
20 elevate the pulse from 75 TO 1o6, al
though the patient. betrayed no outward
sign of excitement.
The records show that the results or
these experiments were beneficial In every
case. Several of the patients, indeed,
showed marked mprovement.-New York

dreary the shop looks. To man or
imagination like myself it's quite easy
To fancy that there IN one of your brown
friends pet devils crouching under the
counter, ready to spring"
The pawnbroker grunted and opened
the door.
"Poof, fog!" said his friend. az q
cloud streamed in; "bad night for pistol
practice. / shan't be able to hit any
thing"
The two men stood in the doorway
for a minute, trying to peer through the
fog. A heavy, measured tread sounded
in the alley; huge figure loomed up,
and, 10 the relief of the friend, con-
stable halted before them.
Thick night sir" said he, to the
pawnbroker.
"ycry," was the reply. "Just keep
your eye on my place tonight, con-
stable. There have been one or two
suspicious-looking characters hanging
about here lately"
"I will, sir" said the constable, and
moved of in company with the friend.
The pawnbroker closed the door hasti-
ly behind them and bolted it securely.
His friends jest about the devil under
the counter occurred to him as he eyed
IL, and for the first time in his life the
lonely silence of the shop became OPP
pressive. He half thought OF opening
the door agnin and calling them back,
but by this time they were out OF ear
shot, and he had very strong idea that
there might be somebody lurking in the
fog outside.

or the Brownies and the Utopia or the
twentieth century circus. were new and
attractive features not seen here before
me opening night was success finan-
cially and Fields gave good show
