Purcell was appointed organist of West
minister abbey, and this was probably the
main cause which impelled him to produce
the enormous mass of church music which
stands to his credit. Here he was undoubt-
edly on dangerous ground. The condi-
tions of art were unfavorable. The his
trionic influences to which all the young
composers Of his time were subject, led him
to speculate sometimes more rashly than
effectually, and the lack of knowledge Of
principles of continuous development re-
suits in his larger works having patchy
and disconnected effect, as though each
movement was made up Of short, musical
thoughts, blurted out in succession, in
stead of being we'll knit organism, with
an inherent unity underlying its apparent
variety.
The principles upon which musical ideas
could be developed at any length were not
understood, and composer who attempt
ed work on an extended scale was soon
at the end of his resources. The type he
often followed was the verse anthem, with
little fragments Of chorus, which was not
likely to result in anything very impress
i've. Moments Of noble expression there
are in them, passages of vivid character,
premonitions Of the best choral stlye Of the
next century, but also some extraordina-
rily crude speculations in choral writing
and not few curious histrionio expert
ments which are rather liable to raise q
smile on the faces of those who are not to-
tally carried away by the associations Of
an essentially Anglican form of art. But
when all is said even the church works
alone would make noble monument tc
his fame and contain more originality
and force of Imagination than any similar
works of his age.-National Review.

Turner,s Piotures end rheir values.


Turner's pictures well maintain their
hold on the public, or at least that part Of
it which can afford to pay high prices. In
one or two instances slight falling of
has been experienced, notably In the case
of the well known drawing Of Carew cas-
tie, which at the Heugh sale in 1874
brought 100 guineas and declined from
7t0 guineas in 1886 to 700 guineas In May
last. On the other hand, the interesting
little view Of Oxford engraved by Goodall
in 1841 was done for Mr.. Ryman of Ok
ford in 1889, and Turner received 100
guineas for it. Its value now has increased
to close on 500 guineas A pair of little
drawings-11M by IS inches-from Mr..
Ruskin's collection, q view of the lake and
towri of Zug and one Of Aroma, brought
LOO guineas and 700 guineas respectively.
The principal Turner's Of the season oc-
Cured in the James Price sale, and Of
these the chief work of this master was
"Helvoetsluys, which realized in the
Bicknell sale of 1853 what was then re-
garded as the very high amount of 1900
guineas. In 80 years 1t has advanced to
6, 400 guineas. The ''Val d. Aosta," I" which
realized 910 guineas at the Munro sale, in
1878, has gone up to 1000 guineas and
has turned out to be an even better invest.
ment than the "Helvoetsluys." A lumi-
nous and beautiful view of the Thames
from the garden of house at Mortlake
brought $500 guineas. The we'll known
pair, "Going to Ball; San Martino,
Venice" and Returning From the Ball;
st. Martha, Venice "a by SO inches, now
realized s, 800 guineas the pair. At tht
windus sale, in 1853, the pair fetched
/, 1870 guineas. Nineteen years later, at th'
elliott sale, they realized $500 guineas.-

Oxford Degrees,

At present 1t is calculated that there are
1000 ways in which man may take his
B. A. degree. There is an intricate and
elaborate system of examination in almost
every conceivable subject, controlled by an
equally elaborate system Of boards and
committees. The list Of university officers
and examiners takes up 20 pages Of close
print in The Calendar. There are about
so professors and readers" paid out of
the college revenues, who give public lec-
lures on such subjects, among others, as
the Burmese, Chinese and Russian Ian
guages, on Rabinical literature and nae
dieval photography. This ambitious af-
fectation of universal knowledge, this
parade of instruction urbi ct orbi, reminds
us of the Inscriptions on the confessionals
ranged under the dome of St. PETERS,
"Pro Lingua Japonica," "Pro. Lingua
Ethiopica," and so forth--and probably In
both cases--that is, of the lectures and
confessionals--the nomenclature Is purely
ornamental.
1t would be interesting to know the
average attendance of students at lectures
on the above named subjects--if indeed
these professors ever think 1t worth while
ito lecture at all. As to the school Of Lit
er@ Humaniores, which still retains some
thing of its old Importance, well in
formed writer says that the system Is i
anything "too perfect The limits art
| too well known, and a clever tutor, by {
I skillful system of cram, can practically
save this pupils the trouble of reading
| their books at a.l-Blackwood's Maga

Gallant General Harrison.

The approaching marriage of ex-Presf-
dent Benjamin Harrison recalls to mind
the extreme Difference with which the gen.
eral has always regarded the gentler sex.
No more striking illustration Of this char
acteristic could be desired than the manner
in which he conducted himselSStoward the
defendant in the case of Nancy r. Glenn,
charged with murder, in which he was
one of the attorneys for the prosecution.
The time intervening between her arrest
and final discharge was little over eight
years. She was charged with having
killed Jacob Young and wife, at Indian
apolis, Sept 12, 1868, and tried four times.
Twice the jury hung, and twice she was
convicted and sentenced to life imprison-
ment, but each time the supreme court
came to her rescue and reversed the CASE
After the second trial the case came here
on o change of venue. Marion county
spent over $50, 900 in the prosecution, but
refused to contribute further after the YER
dict of guilty rendered at the fourth trial
had been reversed by the supreme court,
and the case was dismissed.
General Harrison made the closing ar
gument for the state, and continually re-
ferred to Mrs. Glen as "the unfortunate
defendant. After he closed, Senator Voor'
hees, who was associated with the defense,
asked him why he had been SO easy in his
remarks against the defendant "Dan, "
he replied, "no matter what she may have
done, she Is still woman, and won't
abuse her," When the jury had retired
he went over to Mrs. Glenn, who was cry
ing, and asked her forgiveness for any
thing he said which might have injured
her feelings AS he turned away he sale
to Judge Palmer, who was trying the case
Judge, I'll never prosecute another
woman" He has kept his word. .-Leb

A Terrible Scene.

Strohschneider, the famous aeronaut,
astonished the natives Of Stockerau,
near Vienna, by carrying young bar
rister ON his back along tight rope 80
meters In length fixed to the church stee-
pie. A few days later flaming posters
appeared on the walls announcing that
Strohschneider would effect o balloon
ascent in the company Of Herr Pramper,
the popular landlord of the White Rose.
Notwithstanding the fact that the po-
lice had forbidden the landlord, who
has large family, from taking part in
the performance, mine host entered the
inclosure at the appointed time, to the
no small delight of the assembled null
titude. At given signal the balloon
rose in the air, Strohschneider and the
landlord sitting ON the trapeze beneath.
Some Of the spectators declare that the
latter turned as pale as sheet during his
upward flight, though he did not fail to
wave his hat to the crowd. After reach
ing dizzy height the two balloonists
were observed to quarrel and actually
come to blows
All at once the landlord plunged head
long into space. A shout Of horror arose
from the spectators, who ran to the spot
where they expected to find Pramper ly-
ing with broken limbs. What was their
astonishment at discovering, not a
corpse, but lay figure dressed in one of
the landlords suits. The mannikin was
conveyed to stockerau in triumph. =

Three Indian paths led to Boston. That
from Taunton, not wholly unlike the
present railroad in general direction, was
q path of peace and Importance. The
path from Boston to Salem and Gloucester,
again along the lines Of the railway, was
used in the fishing season and became
the first highway Of the white men in
Massachusetts,. 1t Is almost intact in
Swampscott, where 1t passed along the
beaches. The path from Boston to Spring
field was not far from the tracks Of the
Boston and Albany railroad and Is the
present State street In the city on the Con-
necticut. Another and more famous path,
known to John Winthrop as the Nasha-
way (Lancaster) path, went substantially
along the tracks Of the Boston and Maine
railroad toward Northampton. From
Springfield toward the Iroquois country
central and western New York; the In
dian trail lay quite near the tracks OF the
Albany and New York Central roads.
This was the trail that brought SO much
misery to the Indians Of New England.
To the white pioneers of New England the
greatest misery came along the much dis.
puted path from Quebec up the Chaudiere
| and down the Connecticut. By or soon
| after 1900 the Indians along the upper Mis-,
sissippi knew that their peltries were want
ed in Quebec, in Massachusetts, Bay and II
New York. But the Indians were far
more anxious to buy the white mans
goods. Highways of commerce according
" formed, and the best railroad engineers
have not greatly exceeded the Indian In
finding the easiest route. The Indians
were great travellers and anxious to trade

They Are Very Wise.

About one OF the first things our
present Legislature did when they
assembled was to adopt a resolution
in the Senate in favor of but one ses-
sion, but they didn't say anything
about drawing their pay for two ses-
sions. Even allowing them pay for
two sessions and their only holding
one, it is probably one OF the wisest
things the party leaders have done
in long time. The overwhelming
majority they have seen in the body
has frightened the leaders, and they
are afraid to have the assembly in ses-
sion for longer peroid than is abso-
lutely necessary. The story of the
last Legislature Is familiar to the
people of Ohio, and it is the last one
in which an ex governor of the state
has been called upon to give his testi
money before q grand jury with a
view of bringing prosecutions against
Republican members and sending
them to the penitentiary. Even the
Republicans themselves do not think
the state of Ohio could stand the dis
grace of two sessions of the same
General Assembly. They are moi
willing to risk 1t any rate. Mr.. Nc
Kinley, wbo is now retired citi2c1,
understood very w5n thct the Re-
publican party could never stand the
weight and scandal of second ses'
sion of the same Legislature. He
knew what such body meant, and
his dying political word was supllca
tion to his party not TO fall into such
a grievous error as that. Nor car
the people of Ohio stand many suct
sessions as the last one.-Er.

AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.


a Burglar Conferred = Favor by Opening
Safe.
The proprietor of a largs store on
High street went to his place Of busi-
ness ut an unusually early hour the 9TH
er morning. In fact, the sun had not yet
risen when he turned the key In the
door. On entering he was surprised to
find man trying 10 open the door Of
his safe.
He stood and watched him for some
time, apparently deeply interested in the
proceedings, when finally the burglar
swung open the door Of the safe with o
delighted chuckle, but happening to
turn he saw that he was discovered and
became very much alarmed. He jumped
up and was about to make his escape
through back window when the mer-
chant called to him:
Don't be In q hurry, my friend.
Como back and sit down awhile and
smoke cigar while I straighten things
up bit, and then come home to break
fast with me- You have done me great
favor"
"Why, how's thati" asked the bur-
glar in great surprise.
"Well, you see, had the combination
of the safe on bit Of paper, and last
night accidentally locked it in the safe
ard forgot how to W ork it. I spent most
of the night trying to get the thing open
and came in early this morning to have

An ola Art Revived,

Daguerreotypes are coming into vogue
again. This Is good news. A good da-
guerreotype portrait Is much mSre than
q photograph, and 1t Is a wonder that
photography ever swamped this more dis
tinguished and exclusive art. Not long
ago The Listener saw wonderful collec-
tion Of daguerreotypes In an old house up
in the country. Though they were all
taken at least 40 years ago, they were as
sharp and clear in their neat black cases
as II they had been taken but the day be-
fore, and some of them were as beautiful
as good miniatures, When we consider
that all of these fine old daguerreotypes
were made by professional operators with
little experience and no artistic training,
and reflect upon the amount of skill and
taste that is applied to amateur photog-
raphy at this day, we may realize some-
thing Of what the result of the applica-
tion of an equal amount Of skill and
taste to revived daguerreotype art might
be. Boston Transcript

Camphor is vegetable not a MIN

from the Island of Formosa. Camph-

beautiful of bright green leaves, and
the air in the vicinity is filed with the

is a curious fact that the Chinese sell
their own camphor and pay hund-
red times the price they get for it fol
the Malay Camphor, Of which they
take the entire product, but very little
