NOTES OF MUSIC.
Chicago OrcheStra's Deficit Is $4,000
Another "PhenOmenOn."

The deficit OF the Chicago Orchestra's
season is $4,000 This is a larger shortage
than has occurred before since the orches-
ira made its Eastern trip. One reason given
IS that Theodore ThOmas's programmes
have been too classical" This is absurd.
Mr. Thomas is more active in searching for
new compositions than any other orches-
trail conductor. Many times new composers
have had their first hearing in Chicago.
Another reason given is more plausible. II
i that the Auditorium in Chicago Is so
large that many persons have not bought
season tickets-being sure Of getting seats
at individual concerts-and, in bad weather,
have stayed away from the concerts. The
Chicago Orchestra is one of the finest in
the world. but il is not able TO get on
paving basis Perhaps it is because Chi
caco is Chicago. The Boston symphony
Orchestra turns UP "A profit every season,
but il has the advantage of heavy patron

York and Philadelphia.

CHAPTER XII.
THE BURYING ALIVE OF MATS.

THE BURYING ALIVE OF MATS.
There is no denying that the wishes
of Phorenice were carried into quick
effect in the city of Atlantis: Her mod
ern theory was that the country and all
therein existed only for the good of
the empress, and when she had desire,
no cost could possibly be too great
in its carrying out.
She had given forth her edict con-
corning the burying alive of Nais, and
though the words were that / was to
build the throne of stone, it was an
understood thing that the manual la
Dor was to be done for me by others.
Heralds made the proclamation in
every ward of the city, and masons,
laborers, stonecutters, sculptors, en-
gineerS and architects took hands from
whatever was occupying them for the
moment, and FASTENED to the rendeZ-
vous. The architects chose chief who
gave directions, and the lesser archi-
tects and the engineers saw these car
ried into effect. Any material within
the walls Of the city on which they set
their seal was taken at once without
payment or compensation; and as the
blocks of stone they chose were the
most monstrous that could be got,
they were forced to demolish no few
buildings to give them passage.
/ have before spoken of the modern
rage for erecting new palaces and pyra-
mids, and, even though at the moment
an army of rebels was battering with
war engines at the city walls, the
building guilds were steadily at work,
and their skill with Phorenice's mar
velous invention to aid them} was con-
stantly on the increase. True, they
could not move such massive blocks of
stone as those which the early gods
planted for the sacred circle of our
Lord the Sun, but they had got rams
and trucks and cranes which could
handle amazing bulks.
The throne was TO be erected in the
open square before the royal pyramid.
Seven tiers of stone were there for a
groundwork, each knee-height deep.
and each cut in the front with three
steps. In the uppermost layer was a
| cavity made to hold the body of Nais.
and above this was poised the vast
block which formed the seat of the
throne itsels.

The inmates of Yorkshire asylum,
says London Spare Moments, were en-
gagged in saving wood, and the at
tendant thought that one old fellow
was not working as hard as he might.
The old man had turned his saw up
side down, with the teeth in the air,
and was working away with the back
of the tool.

tendant. what are you doing? You'll

ceremonial to-day-a CHASTITY enough
affair throughout all it's acts, if you
choose, but still ceremonial; and I
was minded to show Phorenice a grand
manner that would leave her, nothing
to cavil at. After oil that had been
gone through and endured, I did not
intend a great scheme to be shattered
by letting my agony and pain show
themselves in either a shaking hand or
twitching cheek. When it came to
the point, I told myself, I would lay
the living body of my love in the hol-
low beneath the stone as calmly and
with as little outward emotion as
though I had been mere priest car
rying out the burial of some dead
stranger. And she, on her part, would
not, l knew, betray our secret. With
her, too, it was truly: Before all, At
lantis."
L think it spared a pang to find that
there was to be no mockery or flip
pancy in what went forward. All
was solemn and impressive; and,
though certain grandeur and gomber-
ness which bit deep into my breast was
lost to the vulgar crowd, fancy that
the outward shape of the double sac
rifice they witnessed that day would
not be forgotten by any of them, al
though the Tuner meaning of it all was
completely hidden from their minds.
When it suited her fancy, none could be
more strict on the ritual of ceremony
than this many-mooded empress, and
1t appeared that on this occasion she
had given command that all things
were to be carried out with the rigid
exactness and pomp of the older man
ner.
So she was borne up by her Eu-

a WEATHER SONG OF HOPE.

The rain is in the valley-the mist is on the
hill.
But the soul is in the sunshine, and the
heart is happy still;
For love Is ever springtime, and knows not
wintry chill,
And the world will be brighter in the
morning
The river has no music as 1t ripples to the
sea,
But the soul is in the sunshine, and as
happy as can be; 49,.
For love is ever springtime, with the bios
SONS blowing free,
And the world will be brighter in the
morning!
What though the skies are solemn, and the
singingbirds have flown?
Love knows a sweeter music than the birds
have ever known;
For love is ever springtime, and the roses
are his own,
And the world will be brighter in the
morning!
Oh love 1t is that leads US from the sorrow
of the night
To the beauty of the morning-to the
splendor of the light;
And every garden blossoms, and every sky
is bright,
And the world will be brighter in the
morning!

ga snau have Rota. He shall lead you
20 wife before thiszhour tomorrow"
Again the prisoner moistened her
lips. II will not have Rota, and spare
me the others. know why you mock
me, Phorenice."
Then there are three of JUS here
who share one knowledge" She turned
her eyes upon me. Gods! who ever
saw the like of Phorenice's eyes, and
who ever saw them lit with such a
fire as burned within them then? ''My
lord, you are marrying me for policy;
1 am marrying you for policy, and for
another reason which has grown
stronger of late, and which you may
guess at. Do you wish still to carry
out the match?"
1 looked once at Nais, and then I
looked steadily back at Phorenice.
The command given by the mouth of
Zaemon from the high council of the
Sacred Mountain had to outweigh all
else, and answered that such was my
desire.
"Then," said she, glowering at me
with her eyes, you shall build me up
the pretty body of Nais beneath a
throne of granite as wedding gift.
And you shall do it too with your own
proper hands, my Deucalion, while
watch your DEVOTION
And to Nais she turned with cruel
smile. "You lied to me, my girl, and
YOU spoke truth to the soldiers in the
harbor forts There is a man here
| in the city you came after, and he is
the one man you may not have. Be-
cause you know me well, and my meth
DDS very thoroughly, your love for him
must be very deep or you would not
have come. And so, being here, you
shall he put beyond mischief's reach.
I am not one of those who see luxury
in fostering rivals.
"You came for attention at the
hands of Deucalion. By my face! you
shall have it. / will watch myself
while he builds you up living"
So this mighty empress chose to be
jealous of mere woman prisoner!
Now my mind has been trained to
work with a soldierly quickness in
these moments of stress, and I de-
cided upon my proper course on the
instant the words had left her lips
I was sacrificing myself for Atlantis
by order of the high council of the
priests, and, if needful, Nais must be
sacrificed also, although in the same
! flash a scheme came to me for saving
fher.
I would avail myself of the drugs, or
whatever they might be called, that
lay within the image of our Lady the
Moon that my priestly knowledge had
taught me would so act upon my love
that though she be buried beneath
the great rocks, yet she could not die,
but sleep only, and that my power
would again awaken her when oppor-
tunity offered.
So I bowed gravely before the en-
press, and said I: SIN this, as in all
other things where mere human
hand is potent, 1 will carry out your
wishes, Phorenice." And she on her
part patted my arm, and fresh waves
of feeling welled up from the depths
of her wondrous eyes. Surely the
gods won for her half her schemes
and half her battles when they gave
Phorenice her shape, and her voice,
and the matters which lay within the
outlines of her face.

A MINERAL GLOW-wORM.
One of the Curious Properties of the
Newly-Discovered Bequer-
ell Rays.

|, In a recent lecture on "Radium and
the Bequerel Rays" Prof. Miethe stat
ed that the Beauerel rays, contrary to
the established law of the conserya-
ton of energy, produce light without
losing any of their reproductive force.
This curious quality is inherent in
the uran and even more markedly in
.he polonium invented by the Polish
scientist CURE. 1t exists similarly in
the radium, as Prof. Miethe demon
strated, writes Berlin correspondent.
Recent discoveries have tended to the
same result in mantles for incandes-
cent lights, or, rather with the rare
earth thorium, which is used in their
manufacture. If any of these sub
stances are inclosed in lead and
brought into proximity with bars of
metal the latter give forth light. No
dimunition of light occurs, for the
Bequerel rays have functioned for five
years without the slightest abatement
OF power.
Prof. Miethe took half a gram from
a mass of 100 grams extracted from
bituminous substance. This he calls
the radium. It's lighting power is
small, only 1850 of that of an ordinary
wax candle. 1t is in fact a sort of
mineral glow-worm, and the transfer
ence of the light-giving power is
termed radioactive effect"
The Bequerel rays are unfit for phys
>ical research, because they not only
penetrate the flesh but the bones also,
thus differing from the Roentgen rays.
For practical purposes the discovery
of the radium is admitted to be of
little value. It is too expensive, a sim
gle gram costing about e 500. 1t may,
however, later on be produced from
cheaper materials.

ENGLISH HIRING FAIRS.
Among Farming People That
In Fast Dying Out.

Among the passing phases OF coun-
try life is the hiring that once through
out all England was the ordinary
means of engaging farm servants It's
name and date varied with the locality,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. In the,
Louth district of Lincolnshire it is GUS.
tomary to hold ''statis" or statute
fair as. early in the year as January,
ments on April 16. The Cambridge
shire hirings take place at Wisbech
during September. The "mops" OF the
midland and western counties were
held some in May, but most in the
autumn. But. in every one of them
the system is dying out, and the hiring
fair is going the way of the horse and
sheep and general fairs-that is to say,
it is ceasing to exist. Like great
many other old institutions it has been
ruined by the cheap press. Your rustic
is well aware that for a sixpenny ad-
vertiSement he can at any time make
known his wish for a change.
The ancient custom dies hardest
among the tenacious Mortimer, and
the first of the March hirings was very
well attended indeed. Plowmen, nat
urally enough, were in high spirits,
the wages commanded being satisfac-
tory to them. Sixteen shillings week
was given in cash, and of course this
was in addition to the payments in
kind which have always bulked largely
in the north, and include such solid
perquisites as rent free cottage,
from 1000 to 1900 yards of potatoes,
and various measures of corn. Pay
ment in kind is always tending toward
disuse, and the feeling is that labor
should be very definitely fixed and re-
Enumeration be in money, the bond be-
tween master and man being only
what Carlyle called 1.-The cash MENUS"
1t is quite new deal in agriculture.
If we remember that it was the loss
of indirect advantages such as that
of common grazing that ended the
career of the once famous British
yeoman and compelled so many sales
in the late eighteenth and early nine
teenth centuries, we may we'll look
with suspicion upon this general crav-
ing for hard cash. One would not
like to see the northern rustic spoiled.
In an age which shows so many signs
of decadence it is good to see that his
figure is as burly, his voice as strong
as ever; it is good to hear him at these
hirings eXclaiming with pleased sur
prise, and while energetically shaking
hands: "Is't 'ee?" You will hear it
again and again with variations as
you saunter down where master and
man have been negotiating SIS that
zee, Johnny" ''Eh, Mary, hinny;
surely that's no 'ee?" Throughout the
year they do not depend so much on
cider (Which is nearly always hard and
of great alcoholic strength and beer,
the home-brewed four-ale varying as
the southern rustic. Cider is very
good drinking, but not the cider they
drink-"Her be rare good zider, mus
ter, thick and bitter" and ale not to
be despised, but not the wayside home
brewed of the eastern counties. The
northerner is safer with his milk all
the year round, varied by "a bit of
burst at the hirings.

throughout the night, to the light
of torches, relay after relay of the
stone-cutters and the masons and the
sweating Iaborers had toiled over
bringing up the stone and dressing it
into fit shape, and laying it in due po-
sition; and the engineers had built ma
chimes for lifting, and the architects
had proved that each stone lay in it's
just and perfect place. Whips cracked,
and men tainted with the labor, but
so soon as one was incapable another
pressed forward into his place. No
delay was brooked when Phorenice had
said her wish.
And finally as the square began % fill
with people come to cape at the pa
geant of to-day, the clippings and the
scaff olding were cleared away, and
with it the bodies of some half-score
of workmen who had died from acct
dents or their eXertions during the
building, and there stood the throne,
splendid in its carvings, and all ready
for completion. The lower part stood
more than two man-heights above the
ground, and no stone of it's courses
weighed less than 20 men; the upper
part was double the weight of any of
these, and was carved so that the
royal snake encircled the chair and the
great hooded head overshadowed it.
But at present the upper part was not
on it's bed, being held up high by lift
ing-rams, for what purpose all men
knew.
1t was to face this scene, then, that
L came out from the royal pyramid at
the summons of the chamberlains in
the cool of next morning. Each great
man who had come there before me
had banner-bearers and trumpeters to
proclaim his presence; the middle
classes were in all their bravery of APP
parel; and even poor squalid creatures,
with ribs of hunger showing through
their dusky skins, had turbans and
wisps of color wrapped about their
heads to mark the gayety of the day.
The trumpets proclaimed my com
ing, and the people shouted welcome;
| and, with the gorgeous chamberlains
walking backward in advance, l went
across to a scarlet awning that had
been prepared, and took my seat upon
the cushions beneath it.

being thrown up into all the higher
relief by contrast with their british
ugliness. One could hear the people
draw a deep breath of delight as their
eyes first fell upon her; and it is easy
| to believe there was not man in that
crowd which thronged the square who
did not envy me her choice, nor was
