POPULAR TUNES OF TODAY
WRITTEN LONG YEARS AGO

Martin Luther was not the first to
object to letting the devil have all
the good tunes" says the International
Quarterly. The bishop of Ossory in the
fourteenth century used such tunes as
:Do, Do, Nightingale, Sing Full Mer-
ry," in compiling book of hymns.
The song Of Deborah and Barak in
the Scriptures, with it's extemporiza-
tion, it's clapping of hands to mark
the rhythm, it's alteration of solo and
chorus, would not be unlike the sing
ing at camp meeting on a Southern
plantation. The drum major of a mill
tary band is survival of the cham
pion who strobe, twirling his sword,
at the head of an army in the old days
challenging the champion of the other
side to combat.
I'VE Won't Go Home Till Morning"

any other song. 1t was first sung in
the Holy Land in honor of French
crusader named Mambron. The melo.

still sung iI the East. In France the

"Malbrooke he went to war'-the
words fitted well enough. The further
statement, true to the old crusader,

the spirit Of hope to the victor of Blen'

Du Maurier, in "Trilby," makes
great use of "Malbrooke," as he does

Battle of Vittoria." In England the

cessfully, however, that most people
who sing, "Oh, Vert Thou in the Cauld

DECREE OF DAME FASHION
CALLS FOR HOSIERY DISPLAY

A stylishly dressed woman and a
little girl alighted from private car
riage at the entrance of a Fifth avenue
restaurant one afternoon recently. 1t
was $50 o'clock and the woman wore
loose white pongee coat over even
ing dress.
"The child, apparently about eight
years old, wore a costume which
reached to her knees and showed long
lengths of white stockings ending off
in fine white slippers.
AS the woman lifted her skirts to
pass across the pavement and up the
low steps of the building there was
display of fancy lace stockings and
handsomely buckled ties almost as
artless and unreserved as in the case
Of the child.
1t is the fashion to display hosiery

ANIMAL PARASITES.
Every Living Creature Has Something
That Preys upon It,

Every Living Creature Has Something
That Preys Upon 1t.
All animals, both large and small
suffer as severely as animals in the
matter of parasites. The parasite OF
the ostrich is Notwithstanding ex
ample. The most interesting Of the
pigeons parasites is the one known as
the slender pigeon louise, which is sup.
posed to do good service to the bird
by thinning its plumage as the weather
grows hot. Fish also have parasites.
The legs of one variety which inhahits
the carp and pike are attached to the
posterior part of its anatomy. and con.
stitute paddles by means of which the
organism can change it's host and de.
part to pay its attentions to another
fish. Two dark spots in the fore part
OF the creature represents the first pair
OF legs, which have been converted
into suckers, by means of which the
organism retains hold of it's host.
There is good reason to believe that
this pike louise" is not a parasitic tor
ment, but rather desired attendant.
In all probability it derives it's nour-
ishment from the mucous products Sc
creted by the skin of the fish. And
when it is satisfactorily arranged the
toilet of one fish it abandons it for an
other which needs it's help--Leslie's

At the fourth annual convention OF
the American Therapeutic society re-
Gently held at Washington paper on
"The Strenuous Life" was read by
Dr. Oliver T. Osborne Of New Haven,
Conn, and was received with interest
and attention. Dr. Osborne said in
part:
Several cases of late years have
been at work to produce all sorts and
bility of the heart muscle and to has
ten that degeneration of the circula-
tory system that comes normally only
late in life.
''The principal causes Of this ever
increasing cardiac and arterial weak
ness are the high tension Of our daily
life, the nervous strain of some of our
pastimes, as bicycling and AUTOMOBILE
ing in cities, and not the least cause
is the constantly and recklessly in
creasing consumption of coal tar prod
ucts for the relief Of pain, whether for
the omnipresent headache or for sim
pie neuralgias.
"We hardly realize this daily ten
sion and it's effect on our hearts unless
we analyze it. We rise on time in the
morning, whether by an alarm clock
by the call of a servant or by habit,
eat breakfast and read the papers on
time, clock in every room and a
watch frequently in our hand. We
then on time meet Office and outside
engagements, college appointments,
consultations, always and constantly

Deterioration in Cities.

A great many men who have come
to cities, after living in the country
for years, wonder at their general de-
terioration, physically and mentally.
They ere not conscious of any lack of
effort to live straight, clean lives, but
the unnatural conditions Of cities have
been slowly undermining their char
acter, physical stamina and mental
fiber and there is general letting
down of standards. Some incident
perhaps meeting fresh, unspoiled
friend from the old home-makes them
realize that something has gone out
of their lives, something practically
helpful and inspiring. Innocence has
been traded for knowing worldliness,
frankness for deceptive policy, kindli-
ness for cringiDg subservience, and
charity and helpfulness for brutal in
ifference.-Success.

Queer Ruling.

According to Magistrate Pool, a
woman's carriage is her castle. This
new dictum of law in New York was
given to-day when two fashionably
dressed women, one of whom had Civ.
en- her address as the Holland house,
were before him on the charge of dis
orderly conduct. The policeman who
made the arrest stated that they were
driving down Fifth avenue, shouting
at the top of their voices, and in other
ways creating disturbance. A liv-
cried coachman and footman were
on the box of the carriage. The mag
istrate told the policeman that while
they were in the carriage the women
were virtually in their own house and
could do about as they pleased. The
prisoners were discharged--NewY York
Letter.

in full relief with every free motion
of the wearer.
This was before the days Of full
gathered skirts and buckram -stiffened
garments. All the full-length prints of
| costumes in those times show person
ages with quaint, perked-up head
dresses or marvellous bonnets, with
waists up under their arms and scant,
straightforward skirts that allowed a
good look at the footgear.
The dresses nowadays have long.
swirling trails and much elaboration
of trimming, and so have the petticoats
worn with them. The coats and man.
ties are loose and large, but there is
the same conspicuousness of lace-cov-
cred ankle and fine foot dressing each
time that Dame Fashion with the deft-
est of motions sweeps her superfluous
draperies, with graceful motion, out Of
the way. .
So, though the visions of hosier,
and footgear that so enliven the high
ways just now may be startling, the
fashion is a perfectly legitimate one,
countenanced and practiced by seuate
DANES and grandmothers of long ago.
