of little tunes merely as undeveloped music It might have been wiser to have sometimes thought of them as the art of regulated speech, already per-. haps near It's decadence. I imagine men spoke their verses first to regu- lated pitch without tune, and then, eager for variety, spoke to tunes which gradually became themselves the chief preoccupation until speech died out in music
 From time to time, indeed, musicians have tried to give speech some impor- tance, but music has always been their chief preoccupation and their "recita- tive" has got it's variety from the ac- compartment and not from the rhythm of the verse. If the speaker to musical notes will attend to the subtleties of rhythm as carefully as assinger att tends to the musical inventions of the composer, his speech will not drift into "intoning." It was stid that "the song of Rachel" degenerated into "sing song" with the rest of her company, but that did not prove that her method of speaking verse was wrong. But af- ter all, if I am right in claiming anti quity for this art of speaking to musi- cal notes, discussion of it's merits is idle. No art can pass away forever till the human nature it once delighted has passed away, and that can hardly be until Michael's trumpet.-W. B. Yeats in the Academy.

QUEER FLOTSAM REACHED ON
 ANGEL ISLAND

A mass of poker chips melted togeth- CT, and inclosing fragments of playing
 cards, was washed up on the beach at Angel Island yesterday morning and found by soldier It is a shapeless
 tumble of red, white, blue and yellow bits of celluloid, all retaining their bril- liant color and some of them holding their shape. From the centre protrudes the ragged and water-washed ends of an entire pack of cards, and the fancy scrollwork from the backs of others are imprinted perfectly on some of the chips. Similar impressions were made by cases inclosing other packs, which had once been part of the mass.
 The oldest mariners in San Francisco Bay, who have seen all sorts of things come out of the depths of the ocean at one time or another, were unable to f1g- ure with any degree of exactness where this came from or what it meant. The chips do not seem to have been touched by flame and the cards are not burned, two facts which show that they were subjected to high temperature but not to blaze. Steam might have melted them together Along the waterfront it was figured out that the thing came from the stewards S cabin of the wrecked Rio Janeiro. No other sunken vessel in the neighborhood that is known about would be likely to have carried such an equipment, and it is too bulky thing to have floated for any very great dis- tance-From the San Francisco Chron- icle

DIR. GARNAULT,S EXPERIMENT
What He Desires Of Dr. Smith and Pro.
 lessor Bsumgarten.

Paris, June 20.-Dr. Grenault, the physician who has inoculated himself With matter taken from a consumptive cow, in order to disprove Dr. Koch S theory that 1t is impossible for human beings to catch tuberculosis from cat tie, informed the correspondent of the Associated Press to-day that he has been misquoted. He does not propose that Dr. Theobald Smith, professor of comparative pathology at the medical school of Harvard university, shall treat him during the present experi ment if tuberculosis declares itself But should the experiment fail, then Dr. Garnault will place himself in commu- nication with Dr. Smith and Professor Baumgarten of Tubingen, Germany, who, If they do not follow Koch com- pletely yet express doubts, which im- poses on them grave obligations. I do not ask Dr. Smith or Professor Baum garten to initiate me. But if the eXper- iment fails I ask them to assure, In concert with me, a new, decisive experi- ment to be practiced on myself"
 pr. Garnault also says that he chooses Dr. Smith and Professor Baumgarten because he is convinced of their scien- titic good faith, which he questions in Professor Koch. The French physician is willing to go to Boston, if necessary, for the experiment.

Read It iM Newspaper.

George Schaub, @ well known German citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a con- stant reader of the Dayton Volkszeit- ung. He knows that this paper aims to advertise only the best in its col- umns, and when he saw Chamberiain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wifa who for eight weeks had suffered with the most ter ribe pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: After using the Pain Balm for few days my wife said to me, I feel as though born anew and before using the entire contents of the bottle the unbearable pains had entire- ly vanished and she could again take up her household duties." He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her wonderful re- covery. This valuable liniment is for sale by all druggists.

SPEAKING TO MUSICAL NOTES.
An Art of Regulated Speech.

I An Art of Regulated Speech.
 Mir Arthur Symons has said, in his
 friendly account of my theories about
 the speaking of poetry to musical notes, | that the fixing of the pitch by a nota- l ton makes "any personal interpreta- l ton good or bad impossible" The mo- tation of song is much more elaborate | than any notation for speech made by Mir. Dolmetsch or Miss Farr and yet the singer finds room enough for "per- sonal interpretation. Indeed, I am persuaded that the fixing of the pitch
 gives more delicacy and beauty to the personal interpretation" for it leaves the speaker free to preoccupy himself with the subtlest modulations. Before
 we recorded pitch we made many ex-
 periments in rhythmical speech, and I
 found that Miss Farr would speak a
 poem with admirable expression and
 then speak it quite neffectively time
 after time. She found it impossible to
 recall her moment of inspirations but
 now, though she varies, she does so
 within far narrower range. Her best
 inspirations are at least as good as they
 were. while her failures never sink into
 disorder.
 If MT Symons will borrow one of my
 psalteries and speak one of his own po-
 ems to a notation of his own, he will
 find--for l think his ear is good enough
 to speak to the notes without giving
 them too much ttention-that he will
 light on all kinds of beautiful or dra-
 matic modulations which would never have occurred to him had not the cruder effects been fixed by the nota- tion. He will discover, too, that the right changes of pitch can seldom be got at once, and that once got they will seem so important that even the best recitation without fixed notes will gen. erally show itself for mere disorder. Everything in any art that can be re- corded and taught should be recorded and taught, for by doing so we take a burden from the imagination, which climbs higher in light armor than in heavy. If MT. Symons will then make an extremely simple tune, like the very simplest folk music, and record it and speak his poem to this tune, he will find, I think, that this new art is also an extremely old one, and that it is probable that we should sometimes speak an old folk song instead of sing ing it, as we understand singing. I have heard Irish countrywomen, whose singing is called traditional Irish sing ing" speak their little songs precisely as iss Farr does some of hers, only | with rather less drama. The tune must l be very simple, for if there are more | thao a faw rotns the one tune will not | adapt itself to the emotions of different | verses. Is is not possible that we have | been mistaken in considering this kind |

GOING TO SEA IS DIFFERENT
 NOJN


 Going to sea as cadet on an Amer
 can Liner is different thing from
 shipping as a cabin boy century ago.
 The cadets, since they go aboard our ships with the expectation of command
 ing them some day, are treated. from
 the beginning, as gentlemen. They
 have their own sleeping quarters and
 their own mess rooms, They rank as
 petty officers. They are under the su-
 pervision of the chief officer who in
 structs them in seamanship and navi-
 gation. On the first voyage, they are paid at the rate of ten dollars a month. After that they are paid fifteen dollars a month. Of course, they have no eX- penses. In reality, they have free fn- struction in the art of handling ships, l and the small sum the company pays them cannot be considered as wages. | As soon as they become proficient, they are offered positions in the company's service. and many of our young officers were developed in the ranks of the cadets. Half of these apprentices are in the deck department the others in the engine department. Just now, 1t is un- fortunate that we lose some of our best junior officers, after we have trained them to be of service to us, because of a provision of the American law. The government will not issue a masters li- cense to anyone who has not had ex- perience as a watch officer, and, on the American Line, we require our watch officers to have masters licenses. The result is that our fourth or third off, cers, before they can gain further pro- motion. must go to the service of some other line, where they can act as watch officers. Our idea is that no man should be watch officer who Is not capable of commanding a ship.
 So many are the applications now for cadetship that we are taking only grad uates from the three schoolships on the Atlantic coast, the "St. Mary's," the Enterprise" and the Saratoga
 Few of the young men who apply for cadetships become officers, for the weeding-out process sends to other oc- equations men who are not fitted to be merchant-marine officers. Of the one hundred and twenty mine young men who were appointed last year, eighty one left the service. The first voyage usually is enough to weed out the most incapable Those who do stay with us learn to love the sea. Captains berths are waiting for them, if they will but prove their worth. Commanders in the service of the American Line are paid from three thousand, six hundred dol- lars to four thousand, five hundred dol lars year, the salary of the commodore | being four thousand, five hundred dol lars a year The salary of captain Is | increased one hundred dollars each year he is in our service. Chief officers are paid one thousand, four hundred dol- | lars. The reason for the great difference between the pay of chief officer and a captain is that promotion from chief | officer to captain of an American Liner goes by way of commanding positions in the other lines of the company The lowest salary we pay a captain is one seven hundred and fifty dol- lars a year.-Clement A. Griscom, Jr, In July Success"

ETIQUETTE AT SUMMER RESORTS

ETIQUETTE AT SUMMER RESORTS Mrs. M. E. w. Sherwood, author of | that clever novel, "A Transplanted Rose" contributes to the July Sue cess" an interesting and practical ar ticle on etiquette, which she directs tc the young woman born in the country unused to the strict etiquette of soc- ety." Mrs Sherwood gives the follow ing information on table manners: Her napkin should be partly unfolded in her lap when the first cours is served for the napkin must not be fastened to the bodice. The first course will, per- haps, be clans, and, when she has used lemon juice and seasoning she will take the tiny fork at her left to lift the clans from their shells. The shells must lie in the crushed ice in which they were brought, being touched only by the tips of the fingers to detach them from thier contents. Nor must they be piled one on the other or otherwise disturbed when the clans are eaten. The dish in which they are served, or the plate for any course, must not be set aside; the waiter will come to remove it.
 Soup, fish, an entree, a roast, a salad,
  smaller forks will be used for the fish, the entree, and the salad; the large knife and fork for the roast, and the extra knife may be used for the entree, if needed The soup Is served by the chaperon, one ladlefu being sufficient, It is eaten with the large spoon, which is carried quietly to the mouth, nor should hissing sound accompany the eating of soup, which is taken from the side of the partly filled spoon. Waters or bread must not be broken in it. A piece of bread, laid by the side of the plate, may be broken in small pieces and eaten from the fingers. When the small bread-andbute knife is used, in the other courses. the bread is never to be cut, but always broken. In fin- ishing the soup the plate must never be tipped up" or "scraped" for the last drops
 Salad should be dressed before it is brought to a table. If it is not, quietly request the waiter to prepare it. Dessert and black coffee in small cups complete a dinner. Crackers and cheese should be eaten with the fingers. but fork may be used for soft cheese.
 The tips of ones fingers should be dipped in the finger bowls crushing the fragrant leaves or rose petals floating on the water, and then dried on the napkin which is laid beside the plate.
 Ordering from a menu card Is confus- ng to one not accustomed to it. A young woman may allow her chaperon .o do this for her, but, if she does it herself, she should order the dishes which she can pronounce, and not try 0 ask for those printed in foreign lan- yu2ges. The matter of eating gracefully should be cultivated at home and not turing the first visit to a watering place or to a friends home. Leave the dining room lelsurely. It Is llways gracious to thank the waiter vho opens the door or places a chair on he veranda, Indeed, quiet expression | if thanks is seldom out of place. A | gracious manner shows a kind heart | nd self-respect.

recognize this fact and accept the sltu- ation He ridiculed the idea that the proposed reduction would injure the beet-sugar interests, saying that as su-
 gar now receives protection amounting
 to about 100 per cent on the cost price
 the reduction proposed in the bill sug-
 gested by the Cuban committee still
 would leave a protection amounting to
 80 per cent. That, he said, ought to be
 ample, and he had no doubt that it
 would be and that the beet-sugar in-
 dustry would continue to proper in this country.
 | Senator Hanna spoke of the question
 of extending the proper aid to Cuba as
 moral question, saying that our obli- gations to the Cuban people were such that we would not be true to ourselves,
 as nation, if we should fail to give them an encouraging hand at the be- ginning of their national career,
 The meeting had almost concluded, when Senator Burton, of Kansas, took , the floor to make brief but impassion- ed and eloquent speech in support and defense of the attitude of the beet-su- gar republicans. He spoke especially with reference to an intimation that the beet-sugar senators were not loyal to the party. His side, he said, stood for the support of one of the most promising, as it was one of the most deserving of infant industries. He said that it was not true that the baet-sugar men were not willing to extend help ing hand to the people of Cuba, if they needed help, but he contended that there was no need for assistance to the people of that island at this time. MT. Burton said Senator Platt, of Connecti- cut, In defending the committees actiop in striking out the house provision for the extension of our labor laws to Gu ba. had said that Cuban labor is as we'll paid as Is farm labor in any part of the United States. MT Burton said that if this were true the Cuban laborer cer- tainly was not in need of aims from the people of the United States, His conclusion was that it was unjust to ask the farmers of this country to sac- rifice their own interests for the pur- pose of granting an annuity of five or six million dollars.
 Senator Burrows spoke very briefly. The conference adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman, and it is gen orally believed that another meeting | will occur some time next week.
