The Chilhowee echo. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1899-19??, 1899-12-02
I'm MMsiC's Temple

Behold, day came when there was
to be a concert in the city, and the same
was noised abroad, and many people
hied themselves to the theater to hear
the same, for it was to be by no means
common affair. 1t was said that the
players upon the instruments were to
be maidens and not men, and this was
sight few had seen, and the people
wondered what manner of music this
might be. And, 10! there was great
expectation, and there were many whis-
perings as the people sat waiting for the
time when the curtain should arise.
And after time the curtain rolled
up, and 10! there sat upon the stage
twenty maidens-some dressed in white
and others in blue, and in green and in
pink; and they appeared to be arranged
with a view to harmonic the colors,
and they did blend wondrously, and
many of the maidens were quite fair.
And, behold. those who played the vio-
Inns and some of the players upon other
instruments also had bare arms, and
their fair throats were bare also-so
that one would have forgiven them even
had they not played very well, so fail
was the sight to look upon.
And, behold! in a little while one
came forward, much larger than the
rest, and in her hand she held little
stick, and, making stately bow, step
ped upon raised dais. And when this
was done the eyes of all the maidens
turned to her as though waiting for her
to give them some signal to begin,
And, behold. in a moment she waved
the wand once-or maybe twice-and
the bows began to tremble upon the
violin strings, and the flute gave forth
tones like bird; and one playing a
French norman instrument most diff
cult to play upon with smoothness and
purity of tone-did draw from the in
strument such melody that one fain felt
that even Orpheus himself need not
have been ashamed to have been her
instructor.
And ever and anon the music would
rise to greater pitch and to greater
power, and then would die away some
times like the whisper of lover in the
moonlight, all soft and tender, and again
it would be sigh or as the wall Of
anguish as of one suffering some dread.
full thing. And she who stood with the
little stick in her hand would not only
use it but at times she would beckor
now to one and now to another coaxingly
with the finger of the left hand as though
she would draw some tone yet more
wonderful from the instruments. And
10! the instruments played together il
great harmony, so that much of i
sounded like the perfect chords of one
great organ.
And presently there arose one from
among the players, and she had in he
hand little silver horn, and on he
fingers were jewels, and her hand wa
as model for sculptor, and her throa
was fair and white. And she stood witt
eyes cast down as though waiting t,
IChear the music somewhere ere she tool
up the strain. She who stood on tn
dais stepped down, and waved her littl
stick again, and the players played
few bars. Then she who had the hor
put it to her lips, and the tone was pur
and full and rich and wonderousl

That a dead man lay on the road,

A parcel weighing eleven pounds the
limit of weight may now be sent by
parcels post from New York to Ham
burg, or any other German city, for
$l.32. The same package sent by post
from New York to Brooklyn would
cost for transportation Sl.76. In other
words, our inland parcels post system
fixes the rate at sixteen cents per
pound, while the international rate is
twelve cents greater charge for con-
veying a package one mile than five
thousand.

ON THE ROAD.

[These graphic lines, vividly descriptive of a
murder, are by Will Wallace Harney, who was
known to many Tennesseeans.
On the road the lonely road.
Under the cold white moon
Under the ragged trees he strobe;
He whistled. and shifted his heavy load;
Whiatled foolish tune.
There was a step, timed with his own;
figure that stopped aud bowed;
cold white blade that flashed and shone
Like a splinter OF daylight. downward thrown,
And the moon went behind cloud,
But the moon came out so broad and good,
The barn cock woke and crowed;
Then roughed his feathers in drowsy mood,
And the brown owl called to his mate in the
wood,
That dead man lay on the road

When the sun goes down in Cuba it is
dark; there is no twilight Two weeks
after Ramon MARITIME had met death
through the instrumentality of his
father a handful of insurgents dashed
down the trail and entered the North
gate just as the sun, like great red
disk, had melted into the blue waters of
the Caribbean. They tarried but mo-
ment, and when they rode away toward
the River de Ay there was blood on
their machetes, and old Pedro MARITIME
was lying dead in the grass.

lust tine Thing.

The Merchants Association or sa,
Francisco, says the Popular Science
Monthly, has been trying the expert,
ment of sprinkTing a street with Eea
water, and finds that such water binds
the dirt together between the paving
stones, so that when it is dry no loose
dust is formed to be raised by the
wind; that sea water does not dry so
quickly as fresh water, so tSat it has
been claimed when salt water Aas been
used that one load of it is equal to
three loads Of fresh water. The salt
water which is deposited on the street
absorbs moisture from the air during
the night, whereby the street is thor
oughly moist during the early morn
ing and has the appearance of having
been freshly sprinkled.

New Orleans Picayune'
The cotton mill meeting which was
held at the hall OF the Press club In
this city. on Friday night, full report
of which was printed in Saturday morn
ing's Picayune, was an event OF extreme
importance because a subject OF vital
interest was presented to the auditors by
men who. both in practice and theory,
were thoroughly acquainted with the sub
ject they set out to discuss.
1t is fact already too well known
that the world has only a given amount
OF money TO pay for the cotton 1t uses.
and. therefore. the larger crop, the lower
the price OF the staple. Any attempt to
limit the yield so as to augment the price
is impracticable, on account OF inability
TO control the multiplicity OF the factors
involved In the making OF crop. and,
even II It could be successful, II would
defeat the object in view, because the
