nHoME. SWEET HOME. .

1t is said sometimes that Bishops
melody, not Payne's words, have given
Home, Sweet Home" its vogue, but
that can be easily be disposed OF, writes
Gustav kobbe in the June Delineator
The melody was not new. Bishop had
used it several years before as a "Si-
Gillian Air. in book Melodies of Various
Nations, where he had set it to words by
Thomas Haynes Bayley, beginning "To
the home OF my childhood in sorrow !
came. This was a "home' song; a
leading London publishing house brought
out the book under the distinguished
patronage Of II. r. II. the Duchess O.
Gloucester, the Princess Sophia, and
others, but the melody then failed to
carry the song INTO every heart as il did
when set TO Payne's words. For every
person who ever has heard of "To the
Home Of my Childhood" a million know
"Home, Sweet Home But for Payne's
lines the tune would have been forgotten
long ago Together they make a simple.
direct appeal to one of the most univer-
sal sentiments in the human breast.
Each needs the other. They 60 hand in
hand words and music-the song and
the soul Of the song. Therefore, why
endeavor TO draw fine distinction be-
tween the respective merits of Paynes
lyric and Bishops air In happy
union they have survived the vicissi-
tudes of more than IS years. Thev
seem destined for Immortality. Whole
libraries of intellectual volumes have
been forgotten, tons Of vocal scores have
been sold for waste paper; but a simple
little poem by a homesick American. set
to music by a seoond-rate English com
poser, lives on because, forsooth. the
author let us know that he was home
sick by describing that longing which
every one of us has experienced at some
moment in his life.
Il may be interesting to know that
while the song earned a fortune for the
publisher, It left Payne little or no better
off than he had been before. He had
sold il for a lump sum, and had retained
no interest in the publishing rights;
while, as to fame, the publisher did
not even think It worth while TO put
Payne's name on the title page.

COLD AIR FROM WELLS.
Montana Town With Cheap and Effective
House Cooling System.

New York sun.
The town Of Thompson Falls, in Mis-
soula county, Mont, has a strange system
of cold storage. In the hottest days in
summer il is possible to keep livingrooms
at a temperature of So degrees, and but
ter eggs and meat are kept cool and
fresh without the least trouble. The best
part Of the cold storage system is that it
costs absolutely nothing after the plant
has been installed.
Thompson Falls has large number Of
wells that furnish, cold, fresh air, which
rushes upward all summer long. The
wells are dug for water, but the supply
of cold air is fully as important.
The wells of Thompson Falls are a
little more than 60 feet in depth. The
water veins are found in a gravel forma-
ton and are doubtless fed by the noun
tain SHOWS at some distant place. The
gravel is porous enough to admit of a
freely moving current Of air, which during
the summer time rushes upward in current
strong enough TO snuff out a match held
over the wells.
The utility Of the cold air currents was
first observed in 1882 when the Ihomp-
son Falls Mercantile Co. used the cool
air to keep butter eggs and meat IN large
quantities. The air can be piped IN
summer to rooms of houses The wells
are covered over tightly at the top, and
large pipes tap the current a few feet
below the surface of the ground. These
pipes conduct the air TO different rooms
in nearby buildings.
For cold storage plants a house is built
above the well and the air rishes upward
continuously, keeping the temperature at
an unvarying point.

Youths Companion.
A iolon or whitlow is an inflammation
of the hand or finger, usually Of the last
Joint OF the finger. Its importance varies
with the seat of it.; that is to say, with the
portion OF the finger involved 1t may
affect the skin only, the tendons OF shows
or the hhrous covering OF the bone-the
periosteum.
A superficial whiilow. where the in
ilammation is confined to the skin may

not very serious matter; but this cannot
be said of the other two forms.
In the tendinous whitlow pus forms in
the hbrous sheath surrounding the ten

the surgeons knife, the pus may burrow
down through the sheath into the palm
OF the hand and result in a permanent
crippling of the member.

This is the only treatment for this form

early for i it is too long delayed the bone

remain, which will later necessitate a
surgical operation, even if it does not
result in the loss of joint OF the finger
The superficial whitlow does not
usually call for such radical treatment.
A clay poultice often affords great relief
This may be made by making a paste of
clay previously sterilized by baking in
very hot oven and adding glycerine
TO prevent too rapid drying; or the clay
may be obtained ready prepared in the
drug stone. This protects the finger

early enough may prevent the forma-

PRESERVING DYING DIALECTS.
Use to Which Phonograph is Being Put
in the British Isles.

Although nothing can be done to pre-
vent the decay OF local dialects, much can
be done to preserve their records. The
phonograph is being applied for this pur-
pose both in Guernsey and in the Isle of
Man. The dialect language in the former
is Norman-trench; in the latter Manx
one OF tho Gaelic group
II is believed that in the Isle Of Man,
with tho passing away Of the present
generation, no one will be found 10 speak
the dialect The phonograph is being
sent to different parts Of the island by
the Manx Language Society; old men
whose accent is pure will speak into the
receiver. and the records are to be stored
at Douglas.
L. d. Marquand says that the old
Norman language still spoken in the
Channel Islands is in its main features
the same as that used by the cultured
classes Of England eight centuries ago;
the tongue IN which Iaillefer sang the
"Chanson de Roland at the battle Of
Hastings,
In Aldemey," he says, "it will GER
talnly have become extinct in a very few
years. In Guernsey it will probably
hnger on for a generation or two In
Jersey Norman French will survive
longest owing partly to the larger size Of
the island, partly to its proximity TO
France, and partly also to the influx of
French agricultural laborers. who spend
some months each year during the
farmers busy season.
Mr. Marquand proposes using the
phonograph to preserve records Of the
dialect poems, folk songs and folk lore Of
the island.
