NIu sic in Sickness.

A correspondence has been proceed
ing in contemporary on the interest
ing subject of music as therapeutic
agent. It 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 a beautiful air, even when played
on barrel organ, will. frequently suf
flee to mitigate or charm away pain.
Then there are cases quoted Of rabid
fever cured by use of violin, and Sir
Andrew Clark and Sir Richard Quain
are mentioned as supporters Of the
Guild Of ST. Cecilia. All this may help
to persuade the professional unbeliev
er that there is possibly something in
it," but we do not ourselves quite see
what examples are needed to prove
that distracted nerves and feverish
blood must inevitably by soothed by
gentle strains of music. 1t is fact
self-evident. If music can charm away
worry and anxiety in the case of
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 in
tolerable to the sick person.-London

Purity of the German Language.


In spite Of official efforts to maintain
the purity OF the German language
the English words are creeping in.
Says an English journal referring to
a recent article in Die Nation:
''The English importations are Of
three classes. First there are the
words that are both written and pro-
nounced as in England. such as inter
view" clown, and bicycle - though
for this last the German often uses
the equivalent 'Fahrrad.' Secondly
there are the words that are written
as in English, but pronounced in Ger.
man fashion. such as Shawl tram
way and 'beefsteak' latter be-
comes 'befsteck.' With these the Ger
man writer classes the mysterious
words koaks' and 'shlips,' which he
explains to mean respectively the
English 'cokes'-that is, coke-and
'necktie,' though it is by no means
easy to understand how Germans
learned from us to call necEtie a
Ships Thirdly come the loan-words
that are written and pronounced in
the German way-such as 'streik,' or,
in Austria, 'strick,' for a strike, and
lori for lorry. Most Of the words Of
the first class relate to sport and food.
AS the Nation remarks, English tends
to become the international code Of
sport, as italian is Of music, and
jockey, handicap, match, goal. racket
and even ping-pong are terms as well
known and commonly used in Ger.
many as in England. The English
names of dishes are used far less ac.
clrately.

Doo Police.

For some time the Ghent police
have been using trained dogs to aid
them in their avocations, and the plan
has been attended with much succesa
It has, too, this advantage about 1t
that the use OF dogs mas enabled the
municipality to dispense with the use
of more men who would otherwise
have been needed. And a dog costs
but Sd. a day to feed. The training
of the animals is found far less
troublesome than was supposed, out
care has to be taken in selecting dogs
with a suitable disposition. They
are specially employed in searching
dark out-of-the-way places difficult to
reach, where dangerous characters
may be concealed. Their leaping pow
ers in scaling walls are found OF great
use. They are trained to pursue per-
sons taking to the water to escape,
and those who take to their HEELS

Head-Dress of the Fijians.

The Fijians are a stalwart race; very
tall and muscular, for the most part,
their skins soft as velvet from anoint-
ing with cocoanut oil, their counte-
nances strong and in most cases pleas
ing. rather than forbidding. y thing
that at once impresses the visitor is the
varied and striking manner in which
both men and wOmen-the former es-
pecially-arrange their hair. Here a
man is seen whose pate seems covered
with a thick coating of whitewash;
there another, whose locks, radiatins
in every direction from his skull as ii
they We're electrified, could hardly he
inserted in a bushel basket. The for.
mer state is but a preliminary to the
second. The natives plaster their hair
with kind of paste made of powdered
coral mixed with water, which. after
hardening and then broken up, stiffenS
the hair and hleaches it from its nat
ural black to odd shades of red and
dull yellow-thus producing strange eff.
fects in combination with the dark
brown skins of the people.

ALLIGATOR AND SNAKE SKINS.
Extinction Of the Animals Threatened
by the Demand for Their Hides.

c<tlTCliOI VI TIC SthifudIS
by the Demand for Their Hides.
A new fashion in modern city may
mean the decimation or even extinc-
tion OF an entire species of the lower
animals The craze for alligator skins
during the past twelve years came
very nearly making that hideous rep
! tile as dead as the dodo. When a
large animal brought two dollars in
the open market every lazy darky
down South who lived within ten
miles OF a pool or bayou was out after
"gater" from dawn to dusky eve. They
killed so many that the market was
flooded after time and then the
price began to fall. It has gone down
steadily, and the latest advices from
! the Louisiana bayous and the Florida
swamps give fifty cents for the raw
hide Of saurian of more than ten feet
in length and only twenty-five for
chicken "gater" This hardly pays for
their killing, and the supply IS running
down in consequence. The alligator
has now a chance for his life, and
in many districts is increasing in num-
bers perceptibly.
On the other hand. the snake family
is experiencing great hardship. A
dealer in fine snake skins said: There
is steady demand for the more beau
tiful kinds which we are never quite
able to fill. Some varieties are so
popular that they bring ridiculously
high prices. The coral snake of South
America, which, by the way, is not,
as currently believed, a red creature,
but beautifully notified scarlet, black,
rose-pink, and brown one, has gone
up from ten cents to dollar for the
raw skin in Brazil, and it is almost
impossible to get it in this city. The
few that are caught go to Paris and
St. Petersburg, and now and then some
are shipped to the Far East, where
they enjoy even larger popularity
than in the Occident.
"The most beautiful snake skin in
American Is the marsh diamond-back
rattler of Central and Southern Flor
ida. 1t is the king of American ophidia.
It's colors are almost metallic in their
lustre, aud they ere arranged so as to
form about as brilliant a harmony as
can be found. The skin tans easily,
and when thoroughly prepared will
last almost as we'll as a third-class
leather."-NeW York Post.

""lM GOING TO, ANYWAY"

While the whole world loves lover,
Yet it loves a winner best;
Loves the man who, till he conquer,
Stops not cen for sleep or rest.
OFT he may be worn and haggard,
Often he may weary be;
Yet the lion heart within him
Has been firm as rock since he
Set his quiet jaw to say:
"Well, Pm going to, anyway"
O the loose hung jaws encountered
In the course of but day.
O the lives devoid of purpose,
That we find along the way!
They the weaklings are, who know not
What strong faith and will may do;
Know not that the worlds a servant
To the man who's game and true
And who sets his jaw to say:
well. I'm going to, anyway"

This isn't a happy situation. 1t is
more uncomfortable for US, indeed,
than for Senior Ycasa, since it shows
that We have not yet fully performed
our duty to the Porto Rican people.

II was just midnight when Penrhyn
left the hotel. The club was only two

and still had no thought Of turning
back.
Il was a warm night. as has been
said. but the heat without seemed not
a circumstance 20 the are that was
burning in his breast. he was free
again. The realization OF this fact
intensified many fold the depth Of his
affection for Louise Preble.
II appeared to him as though he
had had 1t locked in one corner OF his
heart before. but that now the gate
had been thrown open. with the result
that his whole being was suffused with
the glow OF IT.
But there was no rejoicing for him in
all this. Indeed, the very intensity OF
his love seemd but to make him suffer
the more keenly from the heIpIessness
OF It.
Had he not given Mr.. Croker to IN
derstand that Louise Preble was nothing
10 him2 Must he not despise himself
utterly if he sought 20 see the girl now
And yet she cared for him. He knew
this. and knowing 1t. Il seemed 10 him

His vivid Imagination painted for him
a picture OF their domestic life, crowded
together in a tiny fat. all Louise's finer
feelings and aspirations blunted. her
existence narrowed into even more con-
tracted space than her present circum-
stances afforded.
Then he looked mentally on another
scene-On a home OF his own OF which
she should be the mistress and where
