WOMAN AND MUSIC.
The Two Are Bound Together In All Up
to Date Education

to Date Educattcn-
II few years ago music had been de-
clared to be as necessary in education
as in mathematics or physics, the state
ment would have been received with
amazement, IL not with derision. The
early aim Of common school education
was tho making Of practical men and
women, and by practical was meant
q preparation for the ordinary bread
winning affairs Of life. Not that the
moral side of education was ignored,
but it was believed that the three RS
and the hard and fast sciences, together
with general Endorsement Of religion
and good ethics, were sufficient factors
in character building and all that the
schools should supply. Music, litera-
ture and drawing. il they found any
place in the curriculum, were merely
incidents that were not sufficiently
practical to he requisites. nor was their
more subtle and potent influence OH the
character and the higher development
Of the mind appreciated or perceived.
Ornamental they might be, but they
were not believed to be useful. Only
visionary sentimentality considered
these arts as necessary to public educa-
tion. Today art, in a broad sense, occu-
pies far higher place in the regard Of
every educator Of note and of every
man who is alive to the interests Of
we'll balanced and symmetrical educa-
tion. In fact, the art influence in edu.
cation Is coming to be adequately ap-
preciated. and art Is no longer considered
an incident in life, but rather the real
ity itself.
We are not attempting to detract
from the nobility Of labor. That educa-
tion which founds industries, which
adds to the comfort Of mankind, which
makes possible the cultivation of the
arts, we must recognize. uphold and ad-
mire, but that education which tells
us we are not altogether commercial
machines; that to love something for its
innate beauty and not for it's pecuniary
worth is wise and good; that by loving
harmony of sound we may come to
love harmony Of deeds; that tones
which speak to us Of others sorrows,
making US forget self. may be Of more
worth in the end than much positive
science-such education we are begin
ming to revere and to seq in it the most
practical method of developing swceter
women and nobler men.-Philadelphia

A Rhymiue bible,

In the library Of Glasgow university
there is a rhyming Bible, the work Of
the eccentric old divine, Zachary Boyd.
He conceived the idea of rendering the
sacred book in rhyme, task which had
to some extent been undertaken by sew
eral writers, among whom may be men-
toned the Saxon Caedmon and Tate
and Boyd's rhyming version of the
Psalms. Zachary Boyd gave full play
to his imagination and produced a work
Of abiding interest and curiosity, though

The Rothschllds.

Anselm Rothschild had five sons
Ansclm Mayer, Nathan, Solomon, James
and Carl-who scattered over Europe
and established branches Of the parent
bank at Frankfort in Vienna, London,
Naples and Paris. As early as 1890 they
were the greatest bankers in the world,
making speciality of government loans.
HOnors and decorations were showered
upon them by grateful kings, and they
were recognized socially where other
Jews were not, They obtained titles of
nobility in England, Germany, Austria
and France. A Rothschild has been con
sui general for the Austrian empire in
London, Paris and Frankfort for more
than half u century. The sons inherited
the financial genius of their father, but
those who have studied their career in
detail hold that the success of the fam
lily has besm due to the fact that its great
business has always been conducted
with unity of aim and interest. The
dying injunction Of Anselm ROthschild
to his eons was that none of them
should ever undertake an important
financial transaction without consulting
his mother and his brothers. This con-
tinues to be the rule of the house in the
present generation. Every serious mat.
ter Of business is the subject Of mutual
consideration and is carried out by the
united efforts of the whole family,
every one of whom participates in the
profits according to his position. While
the great banks are in measure sepa-
rate and distinct, they are nevertheless
the same, and the family, now very
large, is q single firm with single in.
terest.
They have made it a rule to inter-
marry and have defied the doctrine of
the scientists who have forbidden the
marriage of relatives ON the ground that
Il debilitates a race. A Rothschild al
ways looks among his cousins for
wife; uncles have married nieces, neph-
ews have married aunts.
Another reason Of their great success
is said to be that they have never striv-
en- for extravagant profits. They always
set a limit to their operations and never
try to get the last cent. They sell out
during the heat of an undertaking and
never wait till speculation gets cold
"Let some one else make something" is
favorite adage with the Rothschilds,
but some one else has usually pocketed
the loss. Chicago Record.

County Attorney Hughes today wrote
a letter to Gov. Clough asking him to
refuse to grant a requisition. He set
forth that Gray may have
confederates in this county, who
might be rounded up if Gray
could be brought to trial
here. He Said that the Nebraska
authorities had proved negligent in
allowing Gray to escape after they
had him once. He said that Gray is
very slippery and might get away
again Unless kept here.
Sheriff Bowen also telegraphed

requisition be not granted.
