SChUeERT'S SAD LIFE.



Der to beg My Bread"
One of the bitterest disappointments
in Schubert's life was Goethe's indiffer-
ence. In 1918 he sent selection Of his
compositions to the poets songs to Wei
mar. What precious pearls of music
were among the collection-the songs
of "Mignon" and 1.-The Hapist, " those
from Faust, the sad melodies Long
ing," "Nightsong,'' 1.-The Wanderers
Nightsong, 1.-The Earl King, "Hai-
dcrcslein," 1.-THE Fisherman" "The
Bard, 1.-THE King Of Thule" and the
music to "Claudinc of Villa Bella.
Goethe, who had an car only for the
stiff compositions Of Zumsteeg and Rein
hart, then in fashion in Weimar, took
no notice Of Scbubert's music and left
his letter unanswered Not until 1890
after Schubert = deatli-did Goethe learn
to appreciate the extraordinary value of
the compositions that lay neglected in
his drawer. 1t was then that Wilhelmine
Schroeder Devrient sang 1.-THE Earl
King" to him.

that pictured him Us drunkard who
composed his songs when he was full Of

not lose the faculty Of artistic work even
under the saddcst circumstances. He
composed the greater part of the Mil

WAMFuM.


what Il Il an< Nov the Indians Used to
Make It.
When Columbus discovered America,
he found the Indians carrying ON trade
from tribe to tribe with wampum. Any
thing that has value may be used as
money. In ancient Syracuse and Britain
tin was used as money, and we find that
iron was so used at one time in Sparta,
pieces Of silk in China. cattle in Rome
and Germany. leather among the Car
thaginians, nails in Scotland, lead in
Burma, platinum in Russia, cubes Of
pressed tea in Tartary, slaves among the
Ang1o-Saxons, salt in Abyssinia, etc.
Wampum is from an Algonquin word
meaning white" The Indians have
ever been fond Of ornaments, particu-
larly Of beads They used to make beads
of seashells in the following way: A
fragment of stone was with much care
worked down" to the size of a small
nail, having one end quite pointed, and
it was then fastened to piece Of cane
or reed. With this simple tool the In
dian workman Clipped of a bit Of the
inside Of q conch she'll or a part Of the
shell of hard clam and rubbed it down
to the size desired. This bit of shell he
held in his hand, placed the sharp end
Of the stone against it and then turned
the stone around and around until q
hole was drilled entirely through the
she'll -
Tho shell beads thus tediously manu-
featured were called wampum. These
beads were either white or of q purple
color, the last being valued much higher
than the first. It was the very laborious
way of making wampum that gave it
value. The wampum was artistically
strung upon hempen threads and used
as necklaces, bracelets and rings. Often
it was woven into belts about 3 inches
in width and Q feet in length.
The wampum belt served many pur-
poses It was sent from tribe to tribe
with solemn promises and messages, il
was used in making peace, in asking fol
aid in time of war, for personal adorn-
ment and also as circulating medi-
um." The coast tribe Indians were the
wampum makers The interior Indians
spent their time hunting and exchanged
game of all kinds for the wampum made
by the coast tribes.
For long time after white people
had settled in the new world small
coins were scarce and wampum wa.
used as change" Finally the "pale
faces" set up lathes by treadles for thu
purpose of making wampum quickly
and soon the Indian wampum maker
were, US we say nowadays. "out Of ,
