ecy and poesy stood together to bring be-
fore all men the truth as contained in the
holy psalms and songs" Indeed some
writer has prophesied that in the not
very distant future music will be the only
religious expression.
Music is like nothing else. 1t may be
used to initiate other things, but nothing
can be used to initiate it. Music ex-
presses emotions and feelings, not ideas.
Take the song, for instance. The emo
tions caused by q song are accompanied
by ideas, but these ideas are caused by the
words, not the music. Music adds to the
song an especial element of its own, an
element of pure emotion, which height
ems the feeling caused by the words. SO
important, however, is this element that
the song produces its effect, though the
listener is not able to catch the words or
understand the language in which they
are written. The torrent OF emotion
which it pours along the heart, emotions
unfelt and untouched before, this is the
achievement and secret of music. The
ideas that spring up are soon lost, but the
emotions once touched do not die.
A distinguished composer of our own day
says hat the music which appeals only
to the emotions without conveying only
definite ideas, has accomplished its work,
and that only by intensitying and en-
| forcing the emotions arising from ideas,
can music gain new conquests. However
this may be, The music of the first class al
ready given US will never die.
Music has been described as the mother
of sympathy and the handmade of reli-
gion, but it will never exercise it's full eff
feet unless it aims not merely to charm
the ear but to touch the heart.
There are many who consider that our
life at present is peculiarly prosaic and
mercenary. II this be the case, the need
for music is all the more imperative.
Much as music has already done for
man, even more may be hoped from 1t in
the future. Good music, moreover, does
not necessarily involve any great outlay !;
| it is even now no mere luxury OF the rich !,
| and as time goes on we may hope that 1t
will become more and more the comfort
and solace of the poor.
"a from the power of sacred lays
The spheres began to move,
And sung the great Creators praise
| To all the blessed above,
So when the last and dreadful hour
| This crumbling pageant shall devour.
The trumpet shall be heard on high,
| The dead shall live the living die,
And SIC shall attune the sky"

"Norma, the Daughter OF Boer," 1.-The
Raid of the Nightgowns" and "The In

abound in mystery and action.

Monday was the warmest day of the

To Water Consumers.

Consumers of the village water are request

OF water during these extremely dry times.
Many people no doubt are thoughtess in re.
gard to the matter; others Cont care. AS a
matter of fact, it has been extre mely hard to
keep normal pressure on the pumps during
the time of low water. Those who use hose
for lawns, gardens, etc., are asked to read
article 10 of the rules and regulations of the
water department, which reads as follows:
To- The price of lawn hose limits its use to
tico hours day, and then to a nozzle or outlet
not to exceed One-quarter of an inch, and not
to use ocer NTH feet OF hose and one sill cock
Extra charge will be made beyond this time,
and unless this privilege is abused, no speci.
fed hou1s of the day will be set for the use
of the same. Additional lengths of hose and
more than one sill cock will be charged extra.

kAll the wounded victims of Eastwood
are on the way to complete recovery
The bullet which lodged in the body of
Mrs. Eastwood has been removed and
she is resting easily. The time FOR the
trial has been theme for much discuss
ion, many believing that it should have
been held this week. Numerous false
reports as to the time fixed have gained
currency. The REGISTER is authorized
to say that the preliminary trial will be
held next Tuesday forenoon. Aug. 20, at
10 o'clock, in the county court room at
the court house. Miss Ballou, official
court reporter, will be present and take
down the testimony. The delay has
been due to the condition of the prisoner.
Efforts to find the bullet he shot into his
body have been fruitless. He is at this
time reported TO be doing well and will
no doubt be in condition to plead on
Tuesday.

Miss Stevens's Recital at Bread Loaf.
The guests at Bread Loaf Inn were
favored Saturday evening with de-
lightful song recital by Miss Maud A.
Stevens, accompanied by Miss Elga
Stewart. In spite of the oppressive heat
of the evening and a ride from town
through intolerable dust, Miss Stevens
rendered difficult program with much
grace and skill, her method showing ex-
cellent discipline and fine artistic con-
ception. The program was as follows
With Violet
Swan Song ......................... .Greig
Ich Liebe Dich
Dites Moi. ....................... Nevin
L'anneau dArgent. .Chaminade
Ecstasy .......................Mr Beach
Good Night Observation-Disclosures. Hawley

Miss Stevens possesses a rich mezzo-
soprano voice, of wide compass and
sympathetic quality, giving evidence of
her careful study abroad. The strong
impression of her ability created by the
song program was much increased sun
day evening, when she sang with master
full power and beauty several sacred
selections. Especially Nevin's "Jesu
Miserere", Bartlett's so Lord, Be Merci-
full" and Jerusalem, the Holy City"
were rendered with a depth of feeling
and richness Of tone-coloring that called
forth repeated expressions of enthusiasm
from very critical audience. We I'M
derstand that Miss Stevens is soon to
begin her professional career in New
York, where she will certainly achieve
success, though venturing into the most
difficult competitive field in America
and she will carry with her the good
wishes of many new friends whom she has
won by her singing at Bread Loaf. Miss
Stevens was fortunate in having the
assistance of Miss Stewart, whose ex.
cellent accompaniment were the sub
ect of frequent comment and praise.

Women Should Know IT,

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their dis
ease is not correctly understood They
have been led to believe that womb
trouble or female weakness of some sort
is responsible for the many Ills that be-
set won ank ind.
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache,
puffy or dark circles under the eyes.
rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull
ache in the back, weakness or bearing
down sensation, profuse or scanty supply
of urine with strong Gdor, frequent de.
sire to pass it with scalding or burning
sensation, sediment in it after standing
in bottle or common glass for twenty-four
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder
. trouble
The above symptoms are often attri
buted by the patient herself or by her
physician to female weakness or womb
trouble. Hence, SO many fail TO obtain
relief, because they are treating, not the
disease itself, but a reflection of the
primary cause, which is kidney trouble.
In fact, women as we'll as men are
made miserable with kidney and blad-
der trouble, and both need the same
remedy.
