The London Speaker tells this story
Of discussion at university debating
society in which it was agreed that
+" e 200 a year is the best income for a
bachelor" One speaker opposed the
motion in a speech of some humor. His
chief objection to the estimate was that
a bachelor could not hope to marry on
such an income. Up rose a fluent gen
tleman from the east who tore to tat
ters the arguments of those who had
opposed the motion with tremendous
fire and energy. He kept the previous
speaker to the last, and annihiIated
him in the following words: ''The
honorable gentleman, sir, says that a
bachelor cannot marry on 9200 a year.
But allow me to point out the egreg-
ious fallacy underlying the honorable
gentleman's argument. Sir, maintain,
ex hypothesi and respectfully submit
that my contention can in no wise be
controverted, that the moment a bach
elor marries, he, ipso-facto-ce
-be-a-bachel ori" He then sat
down, complacently smiling, amid a
storm of applause.

A correspondent has been proceed

Ing subject of music as a therapeutic
agent. 1t is claimed, as it was afore-
time, that music hath charms -charms
other than those which enthusiastic
people seek even during midsummer
heat in concert hall and drawing-room.
One Of the correspondents declares that
beautiful air, even when played on a
barrel organ, will frequently suffice to
there are cases quoted of rabid fever
cured by the use of a violin, and l5ir
Andrew Clark and Sir Richard Quain
are mentioned as supporters of the
Guild of st. Cecilia. All this may help
to persuade the professional unbeliever
that there is possibly something in
it," but we do not ourselves quite see
what examples are needed to prove
that distracted nerves and feycrish
BLOOD must inevitably be soothed by
gentle strains of music. It is a fact
self-evident. If music can charm away
worry and anxiety in the case o.?
healthy people, how much more should
it soothe the sufferer on a bed Of sick
ness. If this fact were more generally
believed we have no doubt that many a
sick bed would be rendered less intoler-
able to the sick person. It is the dead
ly silence. the enforced idleness. the
long-drawn procession Of leaden-footed
hours that make nursing so hard to
bear. To man of active habits the
lying in bed is infinitely more haras-
sing to the nervous system than the
fever itself.-LondOn Globe.
