SPENCER AS MUSICAL CRITIC.
Philosopher Unable to See Harmony
in Tones Of Violin.

Herbert Spencer's opinions were
most decided on topics which he was
not by nature intended to understand
quite SO well as those of orthodox phi.
losophy. His musical heresies are
among the most startling. The violin
Is to him the voice of a shrew in n
good temper" He finds this practic-
ally perfect instrument has at least
two chronic defects. "the hiss Of the
bow and the production Of high over
tones as 1t is drawn over the string"
This view leads him to criticise our
orchestras for kissing" for In them
the tones of stringed instruments 30
greatly predominate." Spencer. who
never attended Wagner opera,
summed up his views OF modern or
chestras. saying: Beauty they can
render. grace they can render. dell.
cacy they can render. but where IL
the dignity. where is the grandeur"

What Lydia z. Pinkham's Vegetable

It gives strength and vigor from the

Remember Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-

the greatest number Of actual cures of
woman's ills. This fact Is attested to
by the thousands Of letters from CRATE

THE HOTEL BIBLE.
Landlord No Longer Provides Guest
with Good Book.

People are not so good as they used
to be. The travelling salesman says
they are not. He attributes their
downfall to the scarcity of Bibles in
hotels.
There was a time" said the drum
mer. when every hotel | stayed in
supplied Its guests with Bibles. They
were not fine Bibles. Possibly they
cost only 25 cents apiece. but they
were all there and answered the pur-
pose just as we'll as an Oxford edition.
Usually the Bible lay in plain sight on
the table in each bedroom. II It wasn't
there 1t was In the top bureau drawer
and all US fellows knew enough to look
for 1t there. And very frequently we
did look. I read the Bible q lot in
those days. maybe Just because 1t was
handy. I'd come in tired and disgust
ed with life. especially that part repre-
sented by the evening paper. which
was about the only thing had to read
and when got plumb sick Of that I'd
turn to the Bible. Some mighty good
stun found there. too. haven't
come across many OF those hotel b.
bles In the last two years. I've missed
them n lot. don't know who Is re-
sponsible for their disappearance. I
understand that some tract society
used to furnish them to the hotels. II
the missionaries really were back Of
the movement. and through some mis-
representation OF facts have come to
the conclusion that the game was not
worth the candle. I'd like to advise
them to get the good work going again
for a lot of us chaps have backslidden
since the Bibles disappeared from ho-
tel bedrooms.
