THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

How You Like Them.

Try Now the Ways of YOre and See
How You Like Them.
Good old times, says the San Antonio
Light, are a delusion and snare, and
the man who signs for them has little
conception of what they were. Return
to them, would you? Then rise on a
cold morning and wash at the pump,
pull on a pair of rawhide boots that
rival tin can in stiffness, pull on a
wooden shirt over your back and sit
down to a bare meal with your three
legged stool dancing around on a split
slab floor, eat corn pone and bacon
for steady diet and labor fourteen
hours out Of twenty-four. Go without
daily paper, a fly screen, mosquito
bar, a spring mattress, a kerosene
lamp, geehaw your oxen to market
and sit on the floor of an OK cart as
you wend your way to church or
frolio. Parch corn and peas for coffee
and sassafras for tea and see how you
like it.
The old days are looked backward to
4ffectionately, says the Galveston
News, because they were the days of
our youth, of bounding blood and sup
pie joints, the days of hope and the
days Of love and laughter and song.
The days Of the present will be the
good old days Of the coming generation
and will be regarded by our successors
as rather crude in customs and harsh
In many ways, yet withal not to be de-
spised. The progressiyes Of our age
are the mossbacks Of later eras. Fifty
years hence we will be accounted as
slow and immature as we now regard
those Of half a century ago.

EARLY Days of the Saengerfestg In
This Country.
In the early days of saengerfests In
this country they were held annually.
The third saengerfest was held in New
York in 1852, and many Newark Ger
mans attended. Below are given ex-
tracts from the Newark Daily Adver-
tiser, printed at the time:
June 10, 1852. The German glee
clubs Of New York will celebrate the
third annual festival in New York
this year on the 10th to 22d Of June.
The New York Journal of Commerce
states that the glee clubs from abroad
will be. received by the New York
clubs and honored with a torchlight
procession. The principal performance
will take place at the Academy Of
Music, Fourteenth street. when the
choruses will be sung by over 1000
male voices, accompanied by an or
chestra of 100 pieces. On the 22d will
be held a picnic on the Bloomingdale
road, opposite Strikers bay.
June 22,-Third musical jubilee of
German singers, Saturday to Tuesday,
10th to 22d. The execution Of the
Magic Flute overture by 1,200 voices
was very uncommon and surprising by
the New York clubs and was received
with great applause. The Eintrachts
Of Newark sang "Wallisischer Schif-
fergesang" in distinguished manner.
But the most marked performance was
Martin Luther's "Ein Feste Burg Ist
Unser Gott," arranged by Finke. We

really is-how grand, solemn and sub

by q large orchestra and hundreds Of
voices. It was something to be re-

How Sound wayes MOVE.

The speed with which sound waves
are transmitted through the atmosphere
depends on several conditions. When
the temperature is at 80 degrees F.,
sounds move with speed Of 1000 feet
per second, the velocity increasing with
the temperature at the rate of about
one foot Of speed per second for each
degree above the freezing point. Then,
again, In damp air sound moves with
a greater velocity than it does In dry
air, no odds if the dry air be warm and
the damp cold. In water sound moves
more than four times as fast as 1t does
in air, or, say, at about the rate of 4, 700
feet per second
