Queer Things About Songs.
be International Quarterly.

From the International Quarterly.
Martin Luther was not the first to object
to Letting the devil have all the good
tunes" The bishop of Ossory in the four
teenth century used such tunes as DO DO,
Nightingale Sing Full Merry" in compiling
a book Of hymns
The song of Deborah and Barak in the
Scriptures, with it's interpretation, Its
clapping Of hands to mark the rhythm, It's
alienation Of solo and chorus, would not
be unlike the singing at camp meeting
on a southern plantation. The drum major
of a military band Is survival OF tne
champion who strobe, twirling his sword
at the head Of army in the old days
challenging the champion Of the other side
to combat.
1--WE Won't Go Home Till Morning has
a more interesting history than any other
song 1t was first sung in the Holy Land in
honor of a French crusader named Mann
bron. The melody was caught by the Sara
the name "Mambron" was centuries after
ward altered to "Malbrooke," derisively ap-
Piled to the Duke of Marlborough. NAL
brooke he went to war"-the words fitted
we'll enough. The further statement, true
of the old crusader, hes dead and bur-
led" was applied in the spirit Of hope to
the victor of Blenheim.
Du Maurier, in 'Trilby," makes great use
of "Malbrooke." as he does of Ben Bolt"
Beethoven used the theme in an orchestral
score, 1.-THE Battle of Vittoria." In England
the song is oftenest fitted to the words,
''For He's jolly Good Fellow" Scottish
folk songs are most difficult to initiate.
Mendelssohn did 1t SO successfully. how
ever that most people who sing "Oh. Vert
Thou in the Cauld BlastT' take it for an
old native air.

Exclude the Mosquito.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
There can be no doubt about 1t thas
the mosquito is an undesirable Immigrant
No objection will be made, therefore, to the
measures now being taken by the surgeon
general of the marine hospital service to
prevent him from landing on our shores.
The mosquito is ignorant, vicious, Hitter
ate and filthy. He has no redeeming quali-
ties AS usual thing. vicious people have
redeeming virtues and virtuous people have
yexatious faults. The mosquito has a
character which is monotonous. unre-
Meved black. Jim DAILY. the miner, accord
ing to his epitaph, did some things that
were mean" yet, according to the same
epitaph, he also did other things that
were meaner." His character had lights
and shades. Various birds which have
been accused of injuring crops have been
able to prove that they also destroyed nox-
ious insects. The man who is convicted OF
a corrupt political record always pays the
rent for the poor widow in the next block.
The man who CANDLES away his wife 8
property is always willing to lend a flyer
to some poor wretch who is down on his
luck and hasn't any money to bet on the
next days races. So every kind OF crea-
ture offers some kind of social service to
be weighed in the balance against his per-
sOnal offenseS.
The mosquito is the exception. He car
ries malaria and yellow fever. He stings
Even his extraordinarily large family,
which might commend him to the preSiden-
tial clemency does not seem to most peO-
pie to be an argument in his favor. There
is a unanimous sentiment for his exclusion
from his country Even the liberty mon
gers Of Boston will hardly venture to make
quotations from Lincoln to prove that no
man is good enough to hamper the move
ments of a free-born. independent insect
which may belong to an inferior race. but
Is nevertheless possessed of indefeasible
powers of self-government. Let the anti
mosquito immigration edict be enforced
as strictly as possible.

The facts are at hand to show that there
is much more sweetness and light In
the world today than there was twenty
five or thirty years ago. although not. per-
haps. in the form that Matthew Arnold
would have most desired them to appear.
For the increase Of light we have the fig
ures of the electrical Illuminating COM

eached out into every quarter of the civil
lied world, with a total capitalization Of
So. 600, 600, 600, and serving the needs Of over
10, OOO, 600 people. Az for the sweetness we
have such reports as the one sent out by
the national bureau Of statistics, showing
that the people OF the United States now
consume eight times a. much sugar per
capita as they did In their first quarter OF
the last century, four times a. much az
the average per capita during the decade
ending with 1850. and twice az much al
they did In any year prior to 1870!
