CHOOSING A WIFE BY MUSIC.
Novel Scheme of German Professor
for AscertaininE the Feminine
emperament.

A German professor proposes to
solve the difficulty some people seem
to have in choosing a wife by trial by
music, reports the London Express
Everything depends on the taste of
the subject under study. If she pre-
fers waltz music, and above all Strauss,
Intoxicating strains, she is certainly
frivolous. If she loves Beethoven she
Is artistic, but not practical Does
she prefer List? Then she is ambi-
tiOns; while a devOtee of Mozart would
be rather prudish- Why an admirer
of Ofenbach should be cunning is not
very clear; but remembering the op-
era of Faust" it is easy TO understand
that any girl preferring Gounod must
be romantic and tender hearted.
1t is hard upon Flotow that because
his music IS out of fashion a taste for
1t denotes vulgar soul; while Gott-
Echalk fares little better, pleasing,
according to the German professor,
only the superficial. Massenet is sup
posed to attract the tiinId; while de-
votion to Wagner's music is distinct
proof of egotism. Saint Saens. how
ever, is composer the admiration for
whom denotes a girl of intelligence

A QUEER COMBINATION.
5Orset Maker and Doctor In ParIK
Join Forces and DO Thriving
Business.

One of the shrewdest business COM
5iuatiOns on record has been formed
IN Paris by two sisters, one of whom
a doctor and the other a corset
maker.
Since they have joined forces they
have been receiving more business
than they can comfortably attend to.
Customers calling are first ushered
into the doctors consulting-room.
There they undergo a regular med
ical examination. They have to an
swer the usual practitioners queS-
lions, the pulse is felt, lungs sounded,
heart listened to and so on.
The doctor then writes out a pre-.
Icription-in other words an exact de-
icription of the kind of corset which
the build or state of health of each Gus
toner requires that she shall wear.
They are then ushered into the
room where the sister presides over
ar branch of the business and takes
Ie measurements in strict accordance
lth the medical instructions.
The partnership of staS-maker and
hysician has proved so successful
lat, although the charges made are
the highest scale of the corset
rade, consulting-rOom and fitting
mop are always crowded.

Some persons ask il rees affect rain

are satisfied they do induce rainfall.
Vonmulere, Schenck and many others
are emphatic in the claim that forests
induce rainfall 1t is certain they re-
tain humidity to a great extent. and
that alone would affect the rainfall;
but the point on which all agree is the
value of forests for the conservation
Of water, preventing floods or drought,
