Music and the Puritans.

Macaulay wrote as if the whole body
of Puritans thought it sin to touch
[playl the viTginals." The Puritans
did, indeed forbid all amusement on
the Sabbath, re-enact Queen Eliza
beths statute against the disreputable
street minstreis and object to the use
of the organ in worship; but they did
not object to everything pleasant, says
Notes and Queries. The organ was
in those days used not in the same
way as now, either in England or
abroad Thomas Mace of Cambridge,
who was in York during the siege,
1644,) says in "Musick's Monument"
that in York Minister the congregation
sang a psalm tune accompanied by the
organ, a custom which he had heard
of nowhere else That custom is now
universal; but the ordinary use Of the
organ in the seventeenth century was
to add brilliancy to the vocal music
sung by the choir, and all possible en-
bellishment by horid runs seems to
have been employed.
The Puritans objected to that style
of sacred music; and so should we OBJ
ject If it were heard now. The result
was blind rage which led to the de-
struction of several cathedral organs,
and to a law that all organs should
be removed from churches; and as this
is popular knowledge, it has gradually
developed a legend that the Puritans
objected to all music, and that the art
was prohibited during the Common
wealth. Several musical historians
have stated or implied so much, but it
is an absolute and unqualified false
hood.
The practice of secular music was in
no way interfered with; and not only
| Cromwell, Milton, Whitelocke, but al
so Hutchinson and others of the lead
ing Puritans were among the best
amateurs of the day. And they were
not exceptions. Milton, in "Areopagi-
tica," (1644,) writing in Puritan Lon
| don. says that lutes. violins, and gull
| tars we're to be found lin every
house" Only the Quakers objected to
music in itself; and the art was flour
| ishing during the Commonwealth
when more music was published than
during the whole reign of Charles |.

Kills OF German Dogs.

So many dogs in Germany have been
seized with the same fatal illness with
in the last year that at first the NOR
tality was believed to be due to malic-
ious poisoning, but it was soon discov-
ed to be a malignant epidemic. From
the observations of Herr Kurtz, veteri-
nary surgeon at Stuttgart, it appears
that the epidemic is an infectious dis
ease of the nature of gastric catarrh
with bleeding from the mucous mem
brane of the mouth At Stuttgart at
first 20 per cent. of the cases ended ia
tally, which number aftsiward fell tC
40 per cent. Though the epidemic I;
nearly over, the cause OF the disease
is unknown. Animals which have
once had the complaint and recovered
seem to acquire immunity.

Our readers who have studied old
accounts relating to masons' work are
aware that there was a practice, which
has only died out in recent times, of
blending beer with the lime and sand
used for mortar when the work that
had to be done was required to have
special stability, as it was assumed that
the beer rendered tie mortar much
stronger, says the Athenaeum. The
people of Sheffield in 1916 acted on this
opinion, for a bushel of malt was
bought for blending of his lyme"
when John Pittes repaired the Lady
Bridge. We presume that beer was
made with it before the blending pro-
cess took place; and there cannot be a
doubt that John Pittes and his work.
men tasted thereof, just to assure
themselves that it was of the proper
strength and quality.
