Benefaotor OF Unmusical Children.


Miss Evelyn Ashton Fletcher is not
only i'll this country but in Europe
the originator of system of teach
ing music which is more like play and
less like drudgery to child, and
music without tears is thus possible.
The rudiments of this art are taught
in way which is as entertaining as u
game.
For example, the mental division of
time is taught by game with blocks,
and the intricacies of the scales are
also set forth in fascinating fashion.
With the notes cut out of cardboard.
five different and amusing games are
played. Fourteen different musical
games can be played with musical
blocks, and each game has an object.
1t is quite possible, indeed, to play a
same of blindman's 's-buff, the child

Notes, musical figures, and express
sion marks become dolls or soldiers.
Miss Fletcher, after long course
OF music study in Germany, took up
teaching in this country. She says,
II used to ask myself why, after four
or i've years of exhaustive labor, q
child should know SO little about
music, and have so little to show for
it" 1t was following out this line of
thought which resulted in the method

From London has been reported
the possibility of foretolliug a rain
storm by photography. The Hertz
waves, those bearers of electricity on
wireless telegraphs, produce marked
effect on the sensitive Photographic
plates. f. G. Glen demonstrated in
the rooms Of the Royal Photograph
Company, of London, that these cleo
trio waves could be utilized to show
the approach of II storm. From ex-
periments it is seen that lightning is
not one continuous shaft Of light, but
is composed of numberless rows Of
sparks, that follow one another in the
same track. This lightning is the
cause of electric waves thai are spread
out from all sides by eacL spark. II
we use a coherer with the same rela-
tion to the electrical waves that it has
in wireless telegraphy, but of diff
ferent shape, and brought before a
Photographic plate by his arrangement,
then the waves of far distant, ap-
preaching storm operate so positively
on this film thai the impending storm
can be foretoli. with certainty.

How to Utilize Lace Handkerchief.

cherished and delicate handkerchiefs
of priceless old lace that we keep

come in for them which is attractive

MILLINERY VELVET ToQUE

large illustration is of velvet in sill
very lichen tone, with rather narrow
round brim and heavily shirred and
folded crown. Snow-white gulls are
set close on either side of tall velvet
bow in front and the combination of
delicate white plumage and silver-gray
is very beautiful.
The frame of the hat in the centre
of the group in the large picture is of
sapphire-blus velvet. 1t rolls high
and sharp on the left side, down which
soft silk is drawn in full, rich folds.
But the glory and pride of the whole
is gorgeous South African bird of
cleaning plumage. The feathers are
of glowing metallic blue, and the head
of white and rose, with the big black
eye in high relief.
The model on the right of the group
is the very smartest toque of the sea-
son. The fur is of otter, soft as down
and sheeny MS satin, combined with
velvet of silvery lilac The design is
the very perfection OF simplicity, but
is none the less rich and beautiful as

The papers are widely publishing
;he recent decision of Justice Guthrie.
of Logansport, Ind; in the case OF
the Journal company against Thomas
Reed for subscription account, and
some of them, says the journal, are
badly informed on the subject. In
holding that Reed owed the Journal
s16.75, the court decided that he had
never given the Publishers proper
notice of his desire to have the paper
stopped. While Reed testified that
he had ordered the carrier to stop the
paper, the boy swore that he had never
received any such notice. On this
point the court held that even if it
were proven that Reed had told the
boy to stop, this would not be sufIi
cient notice unless it were shown that
the boy was the agent of the publisher
to the extent of receiving orders foi
discontinuing subscriptions. The de
cision is of considerable importance
to newspaper publishers, as it will
compel subscribers to use proper bust
ness care in ordering their papers dis
continued, and failing to do so will
be held liable for their subscription.
Received tho Paper and Had to Ray.
A case of interest to newspaper pub
fishers occurred recently at West
brook, N. Y, wherein firm Of news
paper publishers brought suit, and
obtained Judgment for 50 and costs,
on account of subscription charges.
The publishers admitted that the de-
fendant never ordered the paper.
The facts were not disputed that
when they bought in the list of an.
other paper in the town, this mans
name was on the list, but without his
| orders. The new management wrote
to all whose names were on the list
they had bought, offering to stop the
papers of all who did not expect to
pay. The defendant did not answer
this notice, but kept on taking the
paper, and then refused to pay on the
ground that he never subscribed. Tho
plaintiffs argued that the general rule
of law, that man must pay for what
he receives and uses, applies to news
papers as well as other things, and
the court sustained that view.

On July 10Th last the city of Rome
undulated with the waves of an earth
quake for nearly half minute. The
famous monuments of antiquity scat
tered in and about the city were
strongly shaken, but fortunately no
serious damage was suffered by them.
The great columns in the Forum
rocked visibly, and large stone
crashed down from the Colosseum.
A strange atmospheric effect, which
has before been observed during great
earthquakes, was very noticeable on
this occasion. People who rushed in
alarm from their houses were drenched
with torrent of rain that poured
from light grey clouds which almost
instantaneously gathered in q per-
fectly clear sky as soon as the earth
began to quake.

DIR. II. Hauthal, an Argentine savant,
has put forward startling tn cory con-
cerning the remains of gigantic sloths,
related to the great megatherium and

whose race is now extinct, was kept
in a domesticated state by the prehis-

Lake Superior appears to exercise q
greater effect upon the annual amount
of precipitation of rain and snow near
its shores than any other of the great
lakes. The average precipitation in
year is about eight inches greater on
the southern than on the northern
side of Lake Superior. Lakes Erie
and Ontario also show more precipita-
tion on their southern than on their
northern shores, but the difference is
only three inches annually. In the
case of Lakes Huron and Michigan, it
is the eastern shores as compared with
the western which get the largest pre-
cipitation, but the difference is not
great.
