The British in 1914 having burned the
white house, President Madison moved
over to the octagon house, which was
owned by Col. John Tayloe. He spent
over five months there. All who at
tended the levee have long since passed
away, but it has been my good fortune
in past years to have talked to several
gentlemen who were present. They de-
scribe it as very elegant affair. All
the expenses of the levee were paid out
of Col. Tayloe's pocket, that gentleman
being enormously wealthy and liberal
as well. His income was said to be at
that time $75.OOO."

MUSIC IN NERVOUS DISORDERS.
Alleged Cure of a Child Due to Chopin's
Somber WaItzes.

The value of music in the treatment
of certain forms of nervous diseases has
before now been called attention to by
physicians. One advantage perhaps of
this therapeutical agency is that in the
event of its doing no good it is not like
ly to do harm. In a recent number of
the Gazette Medicale attention was
drawn to the remarkable result attend
ing the administration of music to a
little girl of three, who was afflicted
with serious nervous disorders, result
ing in epilepsy and paroxysms of fear,
which kept her awake all night. The
ordinary remedies, including bromide
of potassium, were tried without any
effect, and at last the physician recon-
mended the mother to play some soft,
rather melancholy music to her daugh-
ter before putting her to bed. Chopin
was recommended, especially the
wsltzes in the minor key. The remedy
worked like a charm, for it is said that
from the night the child went to bed
under the influence of music she lost
all her nervous symptoms and slept
without waking until the morning. In
order TO prove that this was not the re-
suit Of mere chance, the music was
omitted on one evening, and the child
passed n night of misery, not so intense
as before the adoption of the treatment,
but still very marked.

poor shelter and little feod superintended
the distribution of supplies, and did every
thing in his power to bring comfort to the
unfortunate people, and TO rehabilitate the
stricked city. This was one of the circum-
stances which contributed largely TO his
being nominated for governor. The in
