Musical department.
b. Y. c..

This department is one of the rapid
~ growing departments of the Col-
lcge: last year was especially success
full, and the present year promises TO
be even more successful than any year
in tho past. With the new studio
and additional equipment, we expect
to be the leading school of music in
the state.
Our teachers are all specialists.
Miss Lillian Oliver, one of Salt Lakes
leading pianists, has devoted her
whole life to the piano. She studied
in Europe under the great teacher
Berenger There is not an artist in
the state who has received more fav-
orable criticisms from the public and
press. Pupils come to her from all
over the state and from as far north
as Montana.
G.. NJ. Harris, vlolinist, studied in
Europe and is considered one of the
very best in the state. He, like Miss
Oliver, has made speciality of the one
instrument. the violin. Pupils come
from Salt Lake to study with him.
W. O. Rot inson, vocal teacher, is an
other specialist. He has studied un-
der some of the very best American
teachers. His private voice culture
work has been so successful that he
could not accommodate all who de-
sired instruction. Among his pupils
are stake choristers who have spoken
in high praise of the instruction re-
ceivcd
Mr.. G.. \. Curtis, one Of Miss
divers advanced pupils will act as
her assistant, following her methods
Of instruction.
Mr.. David Smith, instructor on the
violin, studied in Salt Lake City, and
has taken threc-ycars' course under
Professor Harris. lie will teach the
celebrated German method of violin
playing.
Frank H. Plowman, instructor on
Banjo, Guitar, sand Mandolin, has
studied under some of the best Ameri.
can performers, on their instruments,
and is a most successful teacher.
Pupils desiring to become artists or
successful music teachers, should
place themselves under instructors
who have a reputation and the ability
to teach, and who are known to have
correct methods.
Following are some of Miss divers
students who are successful piano
teachers: G.. \. Curtis, Lettie Busby,
Annie Egbert, Jean Harris, Lund-
quist, Ellen Preece, Anna Smith, Il.
J. Hammer, Amanda Traustrom.
Miss Oliver will be in Logan Sep
TENDER 22nd and 23rd, and will meet
all those who desire to study with her
in room | of the studio. The other
teachers may be seen any day by APP
plying at the Office.

MAKES MONEY FOR MANY.
English Mint Furnishes Coin To Other
Nations.


Birmingham, England, has a mint
which in addition to turning out mil.
lions of English coins does more in
the way Of supplying foreign govern.
ments with coin than any other
money-making establishment in the
world. A few days ago it shipped
the first installment of a huge Egyp-
tian order for 100000 piasters.
The consignment weighed five tons,
was conveyed in sixty cases and val
ued at $l5,0OO,OOO. For we'll over a
century Birmingham has taken the
lead in this literal kind of money
making. AS far back as 1897 one
firm coined, under contract for the
British government, 1000 tone of cop,
per coin, valued at about $4,000, 900
Among the countries and govern
ments which have gone time after
time to Birmingham for their money
are India, Tunis, Canada, Turkey
China, Hongkong, Haiti Sarawak
Tuscany, Venezuela and Chile.

Objects to Term "old Maid"

Miss Ellen Thornsycroft Fowler has
recently been protesting against the
use of the term old maid" in connec.
ton with unmarried women. Spinster
is the word she recommends to des.
cribe all maidens, whom she strongly
reproves for their disparagement Of
marriage and men, while at the same
time she upbraids married women for
the ridiculous air Of superiority they
assume over their spinster sisters. The
spinster, she rightly maintains, should
be respected as much as the matron
who on the other hand has no ocCa.
sion to feel specially proud OF her DO

Fought Against Napoleon.

There is living at Tifiisky Lis.ok a
many battles against Napoleon |. An
dreas- NiCholje Schmidt was born
in the year 1882, at Scaulen, in the
government of Kowno, and entered
the army when IA years of age. He is
in possession OF numerous orders, and
also a gold medal for saving life. In
1858 he was ordered to escort a poll.
tical offender to Siberia. The prisoner
escaped, and Andreas was in conse.
quence banished to Siberia himself,
where he remained for ten years. In
1868 he was pardoned by Alexander
II, and returned to his home. He has
still his sight and hearing and can
walk without assistance.
Girls Carefully Chaperoned.
The etiquette OF Holland is exceed
ingiy strict IN all classes. The young
girl is most carefully chaperoned, and
she never goes anywhere, even to
church. unless accompanied by her
parents. some male relative. or other
equally trusty attendant. At dance
the parents sit round the walls slipping
their coffee or wine, and the young
men must make the best of their
chances il the opportunities afforded
by the dance, for when 1t pleases the
guardians to depart there is no nelp
for It, but the girls must go, too. An
unmarried girl always takes the right
arm of her escort, while the matron
takes the left. perhaps because It is
nearer the heart.
Right In His Line.
Anecdotes about the late Dr. Smiles
and his "SelfHelp" continue to be
quoted. In the report of a prison
chaplain II was once mentioned that
no book was more popular among the
inmates of the gaol than "Self-Help."
On one occasion the chaplain brought
a basket of books to the cell door of a
new prisoner for choice TO be made
amongst them. CHANGING over the
titles, the man picked out "Self-Help."
