Singing Among the Greeks.

OuR present system OF public lnStrUc-
ton is not so modern as some would
have us believe. Sparta had her state
superintendent, who, if distant report
is to be trusted, was an educational
despot But while he welded his walk
ing stick freely during official visits
and encouraged his subordinates to ply
the rod on all occasions, he was as dill
gent a promoter of music as is any hui
name and progressive educator Of our
era. AS result the little LacedRmo-
mans sang blithely, no matter what tor
ment was goieg on under their tunics
And all over Greece, in those dim days,
We're schools ranging from infant
grades instructed under Arcadian hedges
to university extension schemes harbor-
ed in buildings uniquely termed "places
of leisure" The infants were drilled IL
their alpha beta gammas, the older
boys were taught poetry and gymnas-
tics, with something of arithmetic,
geometry and drawing, and adults spent
their leisure with rhetOricians and sOph-
lists, paying handsomely for the priv
ilege. But music was sine qua non Of
Grecian life, III school and in sport, IN
battle and III burial. The epic and ele-
giac chantings at festivals, the calm
speculations of Pythagoras as to the
music of the spheres, the choral out
burst of 1.-THE great fifth century, the
martial odes of Tyrteus and PinGar,
all show the national love for melody
Of voice as well as for high and harmo-
nious thought. An old time Greek set
down amid the strident, metallic voices
of our occidental world would feel that
the furies had seized either upon him
or the continent he was visiting. Ger

Effect of the Gar. Visit ON France.

l met the other day on the Boulevard
des Italiens two friends, enc Of whom
is o mOnarchist, the other a republican.
Both were in high spirits. "Mon cher, "
exclaimed the first, monarchy is an
accomplished fact. Who will now dare
to tell us that tlse country wants a re-
public? Consider the enthusiasm excited
by the emperor Of Russia's visit At
sight of Nicholas II the monarchical
sentiment was reawakeneo in the breast
Of the Frenchmen. repeat, monarchy
is an accomplished fact. Thereupon
the second, holding me by the button
of my coat: ''Mon cher, the republic
has, from now on, nothing more to fear.
It is indestructible. The homage of the
most powerful sovereign in Europe has
demonstrated it's strength. Who will
dare to tell us that the republic has no
prestige?"
My friends were right, both of them,
and also wrong. The czar's visit has
done no good to the monarchicstl cause,
but it is not certain either, that it will
do good to the republic A republican
regime is q regime of labor, not of fes-
tivities; of reason and forethought, not
of enthusiasm and vivid impressions. It
must look to itself for stability, and III
this stability it must find its strength.
The capital of a republic cannot be-
come the favorite resort of kings and
emperors without an influence being ex-
erted on public manners and habits by
the fact. A people which has main
tanned the republican form of govern
ment perseveringly through innumer-
able dangers and difficulties does not
certainly revert to the principle of he
redity, but it is always confronted by
this temptatiOn-tO abdicate the hber-
ties of which it is every citizens duty
to avail himself into the hands OF
chiefs Pierre de Coubertin in Century.

physical culture, to arrest the physi-
cal deterioration of the race, and to
strengthen it intellectually and NOR
ally; they will give manual training
for educational, not economic, rea-
sons, and to all children, especially to
younger children, instead Of TO senior
pupils, as at present; they will teach
art as the highest form of human ex
preston to qualify for clearer inter
probation of the artistic ideals of the
leaders in human evolution, and to
enlarge the expressive power of hui

will be to develop a strong, self-re-

train it by the experiences of school
life to become cooperative element

A Place For George.

One day we were at luncheon, al
though it was 6:15 p. m, when lady
was announced and ushered in at once.
She was apparently an old friend of the
family, and she opened fire without los
ing moment. Il am so glad, M. Rail-,
that you are prime minister of Greece,
and my George, won't he be delighted
too! You remember him, don't you? He
is at the front, you know, working won
ders. Now, want you to do him lit
tie service You can do it with a stroke
of the pen, you know, and we shall all
be SO grateful.
Here the minister looked at the lady
from above the rim of his spectacles,
and, with q humorous twinkle III his
eyes, asked her what the service was
She copiously explained it. and do
you know what the law says on the sub
ject?'' he inquired when she paused to
draw breath. 'Oh, of course do, but
then you know that the law has often
been disregarded, and besides, YOU
81 am very sorry to have to refuse
you anything" exclaimed the minister,
iaughingly interrupting, but you might
just as well ask for the moon. It is alb
solutely impossible. If the law were
the embodiment of injustice, it must be
administered till it is changed by par
lament. ''But won't you listen to
reason and argument ''No, madam,
it is useless. am very sorry, but the
law must take it's course - The lady
rose in dudgeon and left in haste, and
her Georges anticipated delight lost

interrupt his luncheon again in the
hope of inducing him to suspend the
law for her on.-Contemporary Re

harmony. My Christian friends, if we
have no taste for this service on earth
what will we do III heaven, where they
all sing and sing forever? [ would that
our singing today might be like the Sat
urday night rehearsal for the Sabbath
morning in the skies, and we might be-
gin now, by the strength and by the
help of God, to discharge duty which
none of us has fully performed. And
now what more appropriate thing can
do than to give out the doxology of the
heavens, ''Unto him who hath loved US
and washed us from our sins in his own
blood, to him be glory forever"

Paper car wheels have been used
for long time, but one of the new
applications of paper is to the max
ing of the rails upon which the cars
run. These rails are said to be better
and much cheaper than steel rails.
They are not made of wood stock, but
ofrag and rope stock. A quantity of
material is mixed with the stock cal
culated to make the rail tough and
enable it to wear well, and it is then
pressed into shape under very power
full presses. The rail is SO much light
er than steel that it can be made very
much longer, thus doing away with
many of the joints.

Grand Forks Plaindealer: Cove

Grand Forks Pinindealer: Governor
Bushnell of Orio is out with a declaration
in tavor of a pension law that will give a
pension to every man who enlisted or was
drafted into the union army during the
var of the rebellion. One of the reasons
he assigns for favoring this policy is that
such a system would obviate the expense
of special examiners and other officials
reouired to sift the fraudulent from the
deserving claimants, which is true, just as
Knocking the head out of a barrel will
