There's Art In It That Cannot Beans
lyxed by Occidentals.

1yxed by 5Occid entals.
rs TO one who never heard tit ia i1npos-
,s;ble to givesa definite idea Of japanese
m Esic, and to one who hears it for the
first time it must either repel or strange
u attract, for its fantastic intervals and
fractional tones demand a totally new
sense Of musical appreciation and call
into being new set Of musical sensa-
tions. It is as if a hitherto closed door
between sense and spirit had been sud-
denly thrown open. One feels that If
reincarnation be true, one might through
this door alone remember and recon
struct those vanished existences. Only
in the tones Of their own unguisu, a
bird which has but three notes, haEeI
heard anything so occult. 4
Japanese music is like Japanese art,
which, with it's unperceived spirit,
sense and symbolism, its strange method
! Of brush handling, might seem merely
grotesque at first, but which gradually
reveals to the initiated eye mysteries
within mysteries of artistic form and
perception, until presently one finds,
oneself encompassed by new art
world, where technic is subordinated
to feeling and whose finest effects are
obtained through the art Of omission.
AS. for instance. in the greatest paint
ings of Fujiyama, the sacred mountain
itself is discovered to be the bare,
white, implanted silk, as if color and
line could be but the boundaries and
outer confines Of pure isolated idea. So
in Japanese music, its methods are not
| ours, its climaxes come in crashes Of ST.
lence, in sustained and soundless pause,
the notes subordinated to silent some
thing, an inner sense, which, while re-
straining or even depressing sound, is
the very ecstasy Of musical sensation.
In vain we attempted to analyze this
subtle effect, to reduceit to the terms
of our musical consciousness. It defied
and eluded Us as spirit must always defy
and elude sense, and we perforce con-
tented ourselves with following the
strange, rounded, isolated notes, sus-
tanning ourselves breathlessly on it's
wonderful pauses and yielding to the
irregular cadenced charm Of the singer,
whose face, at first so unremarkable,
seemed to grow of a shining effulgence
as she thus interpreted to US an un-
known world. Washington Star.

Senator Kenn,,s Luck.

| was told curious story the other
day about The late Senator Kenna, Of
West Virginia, whose statue is to be
placed in the capitol in a few days.
When he first came to Congress a
Mrs. Kearon, who lived in the same
boarding house, persuaded him to buy
a ticket in a rattle at church fair for a
cooking stove and complete kitchen
outfit. His ticket turned out to be the
lucky one and he sent the goods to his
home in West Virginia. While he was
arranging for their shipment at the
railway station he was introduced to
the young lady who afterward became
his wife, aud jOeularly invited her to
become his cook. She replied that she
would be very glad to do so. The next
winter Mrs. Kearon sold Mr.. Kenna a
ticket in another fair given by the same
church. This time the prize was plain
gold ring, and again he was successful.
He put the ring carefully away until it
was needed at his wedding a few months
later, and it so happened that his bride
was the first person to use the cook
stOYe.
Mrs. Kenna is now postmistress at
Charleston, w. Va, and the Legislature
of that state has decided that its repre-
sentative in the gallery of statues Of
statesmen at the Capitol shall be the
man who won his wedding ring and
his kitchen furniture at a rattle

Tess have been made at the Iowa
station to determine the relative merits
Of different breeds Of sheep for feeding
and fattening. Nine lsmbs were select
ed out Of Shutdown, Thropshire, Ok
ford, SuT,lk, Lincoln, Leicester, Cots
wold, Dorset and Merino breeds. After
preparing them fos the comparative
tests by preliminary feeding period,
during which they were fed and treat
cd alike, they were weighed into the
feeding pens on September d aud
weighed out at the close on January L.
All feed consumed by each laub was
caiClaiiy weighed aud charged and
what was left was weighed blcl. aud
credited to their respective accounts.
NJ the beginning Of the test they con-
sumed a pound to pound and a half
per head daily at the close they con-
suued from one and a half TO two and
a fourth pounds per day. The lambs
were shipped to Chicago, sold there and
slaughtered and dressed in the presence
Of professor from the Iowa Exper-
iment Station, who made a memoran-
dunn Of the percentage of ofial and Of
each class Of meat, the value Of the
wool, pelt, etc. In comparing the am
cunt and cost Of gains made, the Cots
weld made the most and cheapest gain;
the Lincolns and Leicestcrs closely fol-
lowed the SoathdOwns and Throp-
shiTes stood third the Dorsets fourth
Oxfords and Sufi0lks fifth; the Meri-
nos last. The average cost Of each
pound Of matter gained was less than
three cents.

What Everybody Knows,

Or ought to know, is that health and
even life itself depends upon the con-
dition of the blood. Feeding, as it
does, all the organs Of the body, it must
be rich and pure in order to give prop
er nourishment. Hoods Sarsaparil!a
makes the blood pure, rich and nour-
ishing, and in this way strengthens
the nerves, creates an appetite, tones
the stomach and builds up the health.
Hoods Sarsaparilla wards of colds,
pneumonia and fevers, which are pre-
valent at this time.

THE KISS IN COURT.

"A lawyer met a pretty miss
While he was walking out one day,
And stole from her a honeyed kiss,
Which was not just the proper way.
At once a case OF tort was brought
Which legal rules could no; deny;
The lawyer held no justice ought
So frail a suit as that 20 try.
The action. when It got in court,
Met with jury lenienL
And many outlet and retort
Day afier day on it was spent.
The lawyer claimed no maiden shoald
80 much rare loveliness display.
a kiss like il.is, he understood,
Was fioisan on the States highway.
The mai,en $ nd her rosy lips
No easement Were for him 10 use,
Though they all Others might eclipse.
His answer was somewhat abstruse.
And thus progressed the argument
Concerning kisser and kissee,
When to the jary it was sent
Who failed entirely 10 agree.
But, sent into their room again,
They gave their voice TO the defense,
And found the girl in fault for plain
'Contributory negligence"

In connection with the progress and proposals for coast defense in the Uni ted States a fact of considerable inter- est is the recent movement of Great Britain looking toward the condition of the defenses of her colonies, espe- cialIy Australia and Canada. The Brit ish government has dispatched Sir Ralph Wood Thompson, former under secretary of state for war, to Australia to urge upon the Australian colonies an increase ill the colonial forces and also to submit proposals for arming troops and exchanging battaliOns from Australia with those of England. The Indian council and war office are also said to be contemplating the addition of one-third to the strength of the In- dian army, while 1t is proposed to spend il, 100000 in strengthening Can adian defenses. The latter item is of most importance to the United States Practically all the work done hereto fore by way of defenseS in this country has been along the seaboard. The ne cessity of Notifications against Cana da may have been considered by the war department, but if plans have been proposed they certainly have never reached the practical, operative stage. If 1t is the design of the imperial gov ernment merely to protect Canada s seaboard in order to her defense against European naval powers this country would have but little interest in the matter. The fact, however, that important Notifications are being quietly carried forward at Halifax and also at Esquimault might some time have important bearings in regard to this country. At least these reported preparations are of sufficient interest to warrant the American war depart ment keeping we'll informed as to their purpose and extent.

While economists, statesmen, doctors and publicists have been cudgeling their brains in vain to deal with the probIem of a dwindling population in France. it has remained for a distin- guished Frenchman-by naturallZa- tion-M. de Blowitz, to discover the solution. This he laid bare in the Paris Figaro recently. His proposal is that a family tax should be imposed, the peculiarity of which is that tn the household where there Is a-large fam ,I ,4 ---III not be levied, and Will ln- crease in proportion as the family al minishes. He would, in short, make tLe French paterfamilias choose be- tween a large family and no tax, or a heavy tax and a small family. AS for the unIucky bachelor, his life must be made a burden; 1t will, in fact, be all burdens. His single existence will be made intOlerable. "As," says NJ. de Rlowitz in magistral manner, 'as tax the heads of small families, fortiori the bachelor who, after he reaches B or 34 becomes a sort of social parasite, must be heavily burdened," as "a kind of restitution made to the common wei fare of the nation" He does not say what punishment will be meted out to spinsters, who in affairs of this kind have, one would think, some responsi- bility.
