4 worthy dentist rests beneath
This high-heaped, grassy mound:
True man was he, although his teeth
Full often false were found.
All obstacles he did despise
And often would he brag
He rather liked. than otherwise,
To run against a snag.
Much suffering did he assuage,
His patients lost each pang,
Though erSt the throbbing tooth might
rage,
As they his doorbelI rang.
His speech was frequent and most free,
Right seldom would he pause.
Although a master hand was he
At holding others jaws.
He owned no family or clan.
But gave all satisfaction,
For all agreed he was a man
OF excellent extraction.
He died without a sob or groan.
He lived in decent gravity,
And now. beneath this messy stone,
He's filling his last cavity.

MUSIC THAT is CLASSIC.

A correspondent asks for a definition
Of classical music" ard "a point of
difference between music that is and
il not classic"
The term classic Is applied to an
author or composer whose style is pure
and correct according to accepted
ideals and whose works serve as a
standard or model; primarily, it re-
ferred to ART, literature or music which
bore the characteristics of ancient
Greece or Rome, but it now applies to
any author or composer or master of
like cha racter in any nation
There is much carelesspess with re-
gard to the use Of the word classic. as
applied to music. Properly speaking,
it d6ssgnateS the music of those COM
posers who by general consent have
conle to be regarded as of the highest
ability. The music of Bach. Handel,
Beethoven. Mozart, Haydn aud many
other eminent composers is now con-
sidered as classic, although it is adj
mitted that some Of what they wrote is
unworthy of preservation.
There seems TO be a rather general
impression that music which few peo-
pie can understand or enjoy is classical
and 1t is suspected that many are in
clined to go into raptures over any in
congrous combination of inharmon-
ious sounds they hear under the inn
preston shat it is classical music.
When the distinguished pianist who is
shortly to appear in our city was here
before, he was quoted as having said
the Chinese produce real music. Any
one who hcs heard~a Chinese orchestra
can form an impression OF how culti-
waited taste may differ from the popular
notion Of what constitutes music.

In the language of ex-President
Benjamin Harrison it was "houed that
the Beers would find some place on the
green earth where they would have a
right to live unmolested by the British.
Ihey have more than once sacrificed
their land and their homes and moved
On TO avoid British aggression" But
greed puts on the garb Of civilization,
assumes lofty airs Of racial superiority,
employs savage allies and refuses to
allow inferior nations'' to rest while
they have gold mines or diamond fields
to loot.
