ORGAN MUSIC AND BACH.

Organ music reached it's climax with Bach; it may, perhaps, be said that all music did At any rate, one thing is cer- tain-viz., if there has been any progress in music since the day of Bach it has been due to him. Bach's music is poly phonic; and polyphony is true music. To it's foundation upon this school is due the fact that there has been no decadence in music in Germany. There has been no advance in polyphony since the days of Bach. Such advance as has been made has been in originality and boldness of meditation.
 For pure organ music, Bach still is and probably will always remain the greatest of all composers. Even with all the mod ern mechanical appliances that have been attached to the organ, his works are still very difficult-perhaps the most difficult of organ compositions. He must have been as great an organist as he was a composer. That he should have been able to play upon the organ. of his day works so exacting in technique as his own is simply marvellous.
 It is one of the phenomena of musical history that, while orchestral operatic and other branches Of music. were in their infancy in Bach's day, and have devel- oped since then. Bach brought organ music to its climax.

 There is a movement on foot to estab- fish the same rule in the Children's Hos pital in this city. All the physicians of that hospital wear the new boots, and are constantly inducing their patients to fol- low their examples.
 One of the leading physicians, when asked about the new boot, said: 'If we can get people to wear them perhaps in another generation feet will have re- sumed their natural shape. The .distor- tions produced by shoes made on the fashionable last are not only hideous but absolutely incompatible with light, easy walking and graceful carriage. There would be less of that tired feeling if properly cut shoes were worn. There is a post in the shoe that must be worn un- til the big toe resumes it's natural posi- ton. The post is so placed in the shoe as to force the great toe to make a straight line with the foot, and Is placed between the great toe and the second one"
 The doctors say that we must choose between properly cut shoes and flat foot"

PRINCES WHO ARE MONKS

In the widest and most desolate part of the Black Forest is to be found the most aristocratic monastery in the world. Almost every monk who has here sought shelter from the world is of noble or princely rank and many are the bearers of historic names who have done their mart in holding history
 one of the most devout and humble of all it's inmates is Prince Philip of Hohen- Iohe at one time one of the chief orra- ments of European courts: and Prince Edward Schonburg- -Hartenstein fulfills some of the lowliest duties of the mon- astery.
 Father John. is the .5s Baron von Drais, who shone so brilliantly for a time at tho court of Baden; and Father Sebastian is Baron von Ger oRe sexor Of the most dash. ing soldiers m o Ihe nave afhly Adm4hs sword for the cowl are Count de Memp- Urine and Baron von Salis-Soglio.
 Ali inc menial work of the monastery is done by these titled monks, who are con tent to exchange their brilliant spheres for a life of solitude and the most rigid discipline.

 Though a--enic is known to be harm ful, madame of society," forgets. this in her earnest search for something to take the place f the legendary Foun- tain of Youth When the first tiny crows feet begin to appear she is sud- denly reminded to take stock of her charms. Late hours, rich food and want of proper exercise have done their work.
 The muddy complexion must be driven away, but not at the sacrifice of social dissipations which sum up her happiness. Somebody in her set sug- gests arsenic.
 But it's poison?"
 "Oh, no. Don't take too much of it: It is large doses you should guard against"
 A few weeks pass before the effects of the slow poison are visible. The clouded skin has gradually given place to whitenes3.
 No unpleasant symptoms result for a long time and the consumer Of arsenic waters is thrown off her guard. When the evils do me she does not for a

 The first effects of the arsenic waters l is to gradually destroy the small blood vessels in the skin; therefore unnatural whiteness, which a delicate rouge is called in to relieve. Long continuation of the use of arsenic brings many ills in it's train. The digestive organs be- come sadly out of order; loss of appe- tite follows, and madame finds her body is wasting. She sits before her dress ing-table and gazes sadly at her white, attenuated countenance, with it's fast increasing defects. Late hours and imprudent eating all get the blame. Her physician is not informed of the arsenic waters and other prescribed drugs therefore increase the disturbed state of the system. Convulsions, loss of sleep, headaches, rapid heart action, delirium and other terrible symptoms are the result often of a continuation of the habit.
 Worse calamity of all, madame's lily white skin, like the flower 1t resembles, is not lasting in it's fairness. If she is wise enough to guess tl-e cause of her l illness and confesses it to her medical

mounted around the bay. There are 1900
men at Algeclras and 900 engineers are
daily working at the batteries and forti-
fed trenches behind the cemetery of Lima

direrentiate between such an understanding

ment which would retard; while a mere

War of Tariffs.
1t is held that the interest of any foreign
power, except Great Britain, in restraining
the United States in the Philippines would
be to prevent the development of a dam
gerou:: rival in what they term the east
ern trade. A recognition Of their right to
interfere in any way with our affairs
would carry with it an extension Of that
interference into all our efforts to expand
our commercial interests, and a war If
tariffs is locked upon as the probable war
of the future, which will involve all nations.
At this hour both Germany and Franse ere
quarreling with our tariffs ard it is ac-
knowledged that the unfriendly tone of
the German press towards the United
States is due to this cause.
1t is felt by many of the most active n en-
in public affairs, therefore, that in the set
tlement of peace terms with Spain the
main thing, never to be lost sight Of is the
preservation of our absolute immunity
from foreign influences and interference.

justly result to us from the war and which
we believe to be material to the develop
ment of our commercial interests without

Capt. Chittenden, who arrived today left
