The Chinese have some extraordin-
cry superstitions in regard to music.
According to the belief the Creator
hid eight sounds In the earth for the
express purpose Of compelling man 70
find them out According to the Celes-
tial idea the eight primitive sounds
are hidden In stones. silks, wood Of
various kinds. the bamboo plant, pump
k!ns, in the skins of animals, in GER
tain earths and in the air itself. Any
one who has ever seen or listened to q
Chinese orchestra will remember that
their musical instruments are made
OF all these materials except the last,
and that the combined efforts Of the
other seven seemed better calculated
to drive the ethereal sound away than
to coax It from the air, which is really
the object OF all Chinese musical eff
forts. When the band plays, the naive
credulity Of the people, both old and
young, hears in the thuds and gongs
and the whistling Of the pipes the
tones OF the eternal sounds Of the ma
ture that were originally deposited in
the various animate and inanimate
objects by the all-wise Father.

Why SOME MEN DIE POOR.

Year.

Year.
In a downtown village store the
wiseacres sat in council on the nall
kegs and cracker boxes, says the Lew
iston Journal. "I'll tell just what
kind Of man Tom Jones was,' SAID
the chief critic, q sharp-eyed but not
unkindly son Of the soil. Hes dead
now and we can't hurt him by what
we say, and might as we'll speak plain
out. He never got on In the world.
and there was mighty good reason
for it. Fact is, he never did anything
50 'twould stay done. He was a good
worker; he lived on the next farm to
ne q dozen years and l can testify
that he wasn't lazy. He could NOV,
for instance. and was careful to pick
up every stone in front Of his scythe.
He'd pick 1t up and carefully lay It out
Of his way behind him. Next year.
when he came to NOV that field, he'd
pick up the same stones again and lay
them behind him, and that way he
picked those stones over and over year
after year. That way Of doing things
gave him a good chance to work hard
and die poor. and that was what ailed
him all through llfe."
