Herrick,s Love of Music.

Tt has been remarked by Mr. Gosse
that Herrick sis alive as no poet before
or since to the picturesqueness of dress,
and the statement, though sweeping, is
correct. He takes nste Of each fold III
Julia's gown, he writes lines upon the
ribbon round her waist, he describes
the rustling Of her walk and IL In fine

Music, too, did not 60 without appre-
citation from him. 1t would have been
difficult to imagine Herrick dull to the
influence of music, although some or
our poets have been credited with in
ability to distinguish one tune from an
other. But ON the other hand there are
many musical poets, Milton. Gray,
Browning and host of others. Speak
ing of Milton reminds us that Herrlck
addresses one IF his poems to Harry
Lawes, who was the subject or one OF
Milton's sonnets. Lawes wrote the mu-
sic to "Comus" and received from the
poet the praise that he

kNOlNTMENT AT ORDINATIONS.

A Peculiarly of the Russian Ceremony
Said to he Very Important.
1t is not generally known that the rite
of coronation in the Russo Greek church
agrees with the religious ceremony OF
an English coronation in one very i'm
portant particular or that this resem
blance distinguishes the coronation serv-
ices of England and Russia from those
of all other countries.
The identity of ceremonial consists In
the use Of the holy chrism, or
"cream," in the anointment OF the SOW
ereign. In the Roman rite, at the coro-
nations of the old ernperors OF Germany
that is to say, Of the holy Roman en-
pire. to which Austria, i'll sense. has
succeeded-not the schism, but the IN
ferior oil Of the catechumeIs. or candl-
dates for baptism, is employed. In the
eastern rite, ON the contrary, the chrism
is used.
This chrism is understood to bestow
"a character, " to use theological term,
upon the recipient-in other words. IL
imparts certain gifts of the Holy Ghost
not exactly of sacerdotal character, Tor
it is not used in the east for the ordlna-
ton of bishops or priests, but neVerthe-
less a special gift from on high, which
is indefeasible in him who receives II,
and which, so long as he corresponds
with divine grace. gives hiIn supernat-
ural sacramentsl grace TO fdlill the ou-
ties of his high Office.
Tbisis the meaning of the words the
seal of the gift Of the Holy Ghost used
| at the confirmation Of child Iii the
| east Immediately after its baptism, anu
| the same words are again USED Wheu
the emperor is again anointed at his cor
ouation. IL 10 in the case OF the emperor
alone that O man is ever anolnted III the
east moGe than once in his life. AS ~
rendv stated. the chrism has never peen
| need in the conservation CT bishops, a
it is in the greater part OF the west.
Now it ia a very interesting point t(
notice that the only country in the worlc
besides Russia in which 1T the preseh
day the sovereign is snointed VIII
cbrism is England. This used also to o'
the case in France, but OF course tn'
French mon archy is now thing OF IN
past. In learned paper by DR.. WICK
ham Legg a note is quoted from
pamphlet printed in 1919 upon the man
ner of crowning the emperor, III whlci
il is stated that, whereas the kings o
England, France and Jerusalem AM

no fewer than 90 other Kingdoms at ina

IN Great Demand by Those Who Have Not
Invented Them.
"There is a regular trade done in old
portraits of men in armor and women
in medieval costumes, said a large
picture dealer to the writer. "They are
brought by persons who have made their
fortunes and want to persuade their
friends that they come OF an ancient

says writer in the New York Press. The
seals are shot from promontory. Then
the hunter Is lowered on rope by his
comrades 100 or 200 feet to the slippery

dead seal lies. He quickly skins the an

outside the surf line ready to carry the
hides away. A small line is floated
ashore 10 the hunter. who ties the hides
to it one by one, and the boat is loaded,
the hunter is drawn to the top OF the
cliff, and another rookery is sought for
more game. The surf about these deep
sea islands is very high and is one OF
the obstacles OF the seal hunter.

and large quantities are exported to
China. The Chinese mount these hairs
with gold for use as toothpicks and ear
spoons. Other parts of the animals are
dried and shipped to China for use by
the native doctors, who claim that they
effect marvellous cures with the medicine
made from these parts.
The sea lions are rather cute in their

COLOR IN PLANTS.
The Most Important Coloring Substance
In the World Is Chlorophyll.

The Most Important Coloring Substance
In the World IL Chlorophyll.
Chlorophyll is perhaps the most i'm
portant coloring substance in the world.
for upon this substance depend the char
acteristic activity of plants, the synthe-
sis of complex compounds from carbon
dioxide and water process, upon which
the existence of all living things is ulti-
mately conditioned. Only in very few
unimportant forms devoid of chlorophyll
can the synthesis of complex from SIM
pie compounds or from the elements be
accomplished. The function of chloro-
phyll may only be comprehended when
its chief physical properties are under
stood. These may be best illustrated
by placing a gram Of chopped leaves
of grass or geranium in few cubic CEN
timeters of strong alcohol for an hour.
Such q solution will be Of bright,
clear green color, and when the vessel
containing it is held in such manner
that the sunlight is reflected from the
surface Of the liquid it will appear blood
red, due to its property Of fuorescence,
that of changing the wave length OF
the rays of light of the violet and OF
the spectrum in such manner as to
make them coincide with those OF the
red end. 1t is by examination OF light
which has passed through solution OF
chlorophyll, however, that the greatest
insight into it's physical properties may
be gained. If such ray of light is pass
ed through prism and spread out on
screen, it may be seen that there are
several large intervals of dark bands in
the spectrum. The rays of light which
would have occupied these spaces have
been absorbed by the chlorophyll and
converted into heat and other forms OF
energy. This energy is directly availa'
bic to the protoplasm containing the
chorophyll, and by means of it the syn
thesis Of complex substance may be &C
complished. Popular Science Monthly.

Golden Nose.

Tycho Brahe, the famous Danish
mathematician, was known as the
wizard of the Golden Nose. While
at the university he lost his nose in a
duel and replaced it with nasal organ
of gold, held in place by cement and a
pair of spectacles. This addition to his
countenance gave him very peculiar
appearance and caused him to be much
feared by the common people, who at
tributed to him many supernatural
powers, largely on account OF his re-
markable nose.
