LANGUAGES OF MUSIC.
The Airs of Different Nations Sound
Very Much Like Their
Speech.

y
Rossini to a Chinese mandarin, who,
though man of intelligence and cult
walton, according to oriental standards,
shook his head disapprovingly. When
pressed to give a reason for the depre-
ciating gesture, he said:
ut is sadly devoid of meaning and
expression, while Chinese music pene-
trates the soul.''
We smile at the absurdity, because to
our ears Chinese music is the linking to-
gether of harsh and unmelodious
sounds, the mingling of crash and
caterwauling.
Prof. Arlo Bates uses this incident in
his ''Talks on the Study of Literature"
to illustrate the fact that there is con-
ventional language in sound as there is
in words. Barbaric folk use language
of music which penetrates their souls,
but which causes the nerves of civilized
people to Jingle. Our music seems as
absurd to them as theirs to us. Neither
understands the musical language of
the other.
The Japanese complain that our d.
vision of music into regular bars has the
effect of making it 'chip-chop, chip
chop, chip-chop."
There is no universal language in
words or in art. The Greeks, who built
the Parthenon or wrought the Venus of
Melos could not have discerned beauty
or reverence in the uncouth figures of
Aztec deities. An Aztec who was moved
by twisted deities clutching one an
other by their plumes would perhaps
have stood without emotion before a
Greek temple or Greek statue

1t Made Americans Fight.
The employment of the Indians, who
had been ravaging and scalping from
the day the British crossed the frontier,
had reused the people of the north as
nothing else could have done. The
frontiersmen and pioneers rose in all
directions, for the scalping of wounded
soldiers awakened in the Americans a,
fierce spirit of revenge, which would
stop at no danger. The idea that the
Indians would terrify the Americans
was foolish dream. Nothing in reality
was calculated to make them fight so
hard. Perhaps even Burgoyne may
have had a glimmering of this truth
when two of the allies of his clement
king tomahawked and scalped Miss Nc
Crea. There was nothing unusual about
the deed, but the unfortunate girl hap
pened to be a 1oya1ist herself and be-
trothed to q loyalist in Burgoyne's
camp, whittier she was travelling under
the escort of the Indians who murdered
her. Senator Fl. c. Lodge, in Scribner'a

Cyclists as Sportsmen.

The wheelman himself can hardly
be held answerable for the death of a

part of the cat which tried to go

TRACING SUICIDE.
1t Is Believed by Some Physicians
That Unsuitable Diet Has an
Injurious Effect.

DR.. Haig is of the opinion that sui
eide may he traced to error in diet,
the error being the eating of meat, the
drinking of beer and of tea and the
smoking of tobacco. His facts all fall
comfortably into their places in sup
port of his hypothesis. Are there not
more suicides among men than among
women, and do not men consume more
meat, more beer and more tobacco
than the women? Again, suicide is
more common in England than in Scot
land, not apparently because the
Scotch are more canny race, but be-
cause the English eat more meat and
drink more beer, while the Scotch eat
less meat and drink whisky instead
of beer. After maintaining that sui
eide was less common among the
Scotch, it was perhaps hardly polite,
| when addressing a Scotch audience, to
go on to say that suicide increased
with civilization. But the fact was
| explained on the ground of more in
furious diet, that of civilized man be-
ing more productive of uric acid and
thu of suicide than that which pre-
walls where civiliza 1on is less ad-
vanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at the
bottom of all this, and, according to
Or. Haig, the incidence of suicide tai
lies with the daily, annual and life
fluctuations of uric acid in the blood
being commonest when uric acid is
most abundant, namely, in the morn
ings. in spring and summer and in
childhood and the full prime of life.
We have 10 doubt that errors of diet
are responsible for much, and, among
ether things, for certain number of
suicides; nay, we would go further and
admit that unsuitable diet, derange-
ment of the proper relation between
nutrition and waste and the conse-
quent loading of the tissues and the
blood with abnormal products of
metabolism nave much to do with that
ill-temper and discomfort which lead
men to lay their hands violently upon
their neighbors and sometimes on
themselves. All this may be taken for
granted, bat it is at present far from
proved that the peccant material is in
all cases the same, and still further
are we from being agreed that uric
aci / is the origin of the evil.-Hospital.

BUTTERFLIES IN THE CITY.
Where Some of Them Come From ar d
How Some Found Their
Way Back.

Here, where l sit high up in The
air." said city dweiler, II see every
now and then flying past the window
little yellow butterflies. If l wonder
what they are doing in the city, and
so high above the ground, between
the walls of brick and stone, and
look after them, | see them tutter-
ing about in undulating, zigzag
courses, lighting here and there, or
lowering over the plants and flowers
seen scattered on various window sills.
"A man who knows far more about
butterflies and everything else in
nature than do tells me that some of
these little butterflies come to the city
on farmers wagons. They have been
developed, perhaps, in the garden
patches on farms, and when the pro
duce is gathered up and packed on the
wagon some come to the city with it.
Here the load is soon dispersed, and
there is nothing left but the, empty
wagon. And so the little yellow but
terfy is left stranded in the great
city. But sometimes they find their
way home again, as was told me by the
same lover of nature.
There was a funeral passing along
busy street that skirts a familiar
park of few acres, but beautiful
with lovely grass and fine trees and
some Towering plants; a place where
city butterflies love to hover. At the
head of this funeral was an ope1
coach filled with flowers. The butter,
flies in the park seemed to scent the
fragrance of these flowers and they
came futtering from various parts
of the park toward them. Some set
tied upon and nestled in the flowers
themselves, and so were carried along
with them, and some lowered and fiut-
tered about over the carriage and
kept along with it thus to the ferry
toward which the funeral was moving
They went on aboard The boat with
it and on across the water, and so or
back to the land whence they came
