DECORATION DAY.

CoMRADEs:-Once more approach
ee the day set apart by the Grand
Army on which We meet to do honor
to our fallen comrades.
Decoration Day is observed by all
true Americans in remembrance of
the dead, but to us this day is more
than q "Reminiscences. It is a solemn
sacrament. It Is day both of sad
ness and rejoicing. of mourning for
the memory of our comrades, and OF
rejoicing for the triumph of the cause
for which they laid down their lives.
It is therefore requested that all
members of Pap Thomas Post No. so.
and all soldiers meet.at the Post room
on Wednesday, May Both, at 10 a. m.
and proceed in a body to perform the
sadly solemn duty of decorating the
graves of those of our comrades who
have joined the silent majority.
1t is very fitting and proper that we
as soldiers manifest our reverence for
and faith in the God of Battles. Let
US therefore not fail to attend our
memorial service, Sunday, May 81,
and offer our devotions to Him in
whose hands is the destiny of nations.
BY command of
M. B. Fits, Post Com >nd'r.

VIOLIN MUSIC.


Its Peculiar and Varied Eject ON
wild Animals.
The violin WIS used recently with in
teresting results in experiments with
all sorts Of living creatures. First it
was played before tarantula. She
paid no attention whatever to 1t. But
nest of scorpions became intensely
excited and wiggled frantically.
A cobra showed remarkable suscep-
tibility. She was sleeping soundly
when the experimenters approached
her, but the first tone awakened her,
and she raised her head. AS the mu-
sic swelled she continued to rise till
she was standing straight as pillar,
supported only by her tail. Every
change In tempo and pitch had effect.
The pizzicato made her pun her entire
body, swift waltz music caused her to
erect her ugly hood to Its fullest size,
and sudden dissonance made her
wind and twist her body as II she were
in real agony.
The polar bear tried to dance to the
sounds of the instrument At least he
swayed his body rhythmically and
made rumbling sound which portray
ed deep measure. The grizzlies and
the lions moved their paws and the
lions their tails also in time with the
music. 1t happened that a string snap
ped. with its peculiar, sharp smack.
just as the player had begun to per-
form before the cage OF n hyena. That
poor animal at once, hunchcd Its back
up. drew Its tail between It's legs and
crouched. trembling. in the farthest
corner of the cage. The elephant and
the ostrich were delighted by soft tones
and appeared to suffer true distress
from loud and sharp notes.-New York
