The MysticnI Influence 1t Wlc1ds Over
Our Sensibilitics.
Great music IS physical storm, agi-
tat1ng to unimaginablc depth the mys-
terry Of tho past within no - or we
might say it Is prodigtoua incanta-
tion, every different instrument and
voice making separate appeal to diff
ferent billions of prenatal memories.
There are tones that call up all the
ghosts Of youth and JOY an'l tendcn-
cies; there are tones thnt evoke all
phantom pain Of perished passion;
there nrc tones that rcsurrect oil dead
sensations Of majesty and 1night and
glory, all expired exultations, all for
gotten magnanimities. Well may the
influence Of music seem ineXplicable
to the man who idly dreams thnt his
life began less than hundred Years
ngo! But the mystery lightens for
whosoever learns that the substance OF
self is older than the sun. He finds
that music is necromancy; he fceIs
that TO every ripple Of melody, to every
billow Of harmony, there answers
within him out Of tho sea Of death and
birth some eddyIng immeasurable Of
ancient pleasure and pain.
Pleasure and pain! They commingle
always in great music, and therefore II
Is that music can move us moro Dro-
foundly' than the voice OF ocean or
than any other voice can do But in
music's larger uttorunce It is ever tho
sorrow that makes the undertone the
surf mutter Of the sea Of soul. Strange
to think how vast the sum Of toy and
woe that must have been experienced
before the sense Of music could evolve

MIMlCRY IN NATURE.
How Birds and Insects Protect Them.
selves from Notice and Attack.

An official of the National museum
at Washington, who has made many
trips abroad in the interest of that in,
stitution, states that in South Ameri.
can forests the butterflies and the
birds are equally brilliant in their
colors, but that the butterflies, being
weaker, fall prey to the birds. One
very bright-hued species of butterfly,
however, is not disturbed by the birds,
on account of the disagreeable odor
that it emits. Singularly enough,
some other groups of butterflies, which
resemble in color the species just de.
scribed, also escape persecution by the
birds, although they emit no odor. 1t
is evident that the similarity of color
deceives the birds, and thus serves as
a shield for the butterflies. This sort
of mimicry of color and form, which
naturalists call protective resemb.
lance" is not very uncommon among
insects.
Another form of protective resem.
blance" which exhibits much coItriv.
ance and skill is sometimes found
among birds. Some birds hide their
eggs among stones that resemble the
eggs in form and color. The little
bottle tit" in England weaves bot.
tie shaped nest ou. of moss, lichens
and spiders' webs, and when placed
in area or bush the nest so closely
resembles it's surroundings that 1t can
hardly be detected. The color and
appearance of the nest are limitations

and well kept. If the plan suits her
she is perfectly happy in working out
the details.
In this plan only two rooms are fin
ished off upstairs. About one-third of
the upper floor is left unfinished to be
used as an attic store room. This
saves expense when building, and the
housewife has fewer rooms TO take
care OF afterwards. Two rooms may
be added here any time in the future
at very little expense.
Two bedrooms and bathroom up
stairs makes very nice arrangement
for a family of two, and leaves a spare
bedroom for use when required The
bedroom downstairs may be made in
to library, if so desired. 1t is real
ly more appropriate for this purpose
than it is for a bedroom, if so wanted
by the family. Families are different,
their tastes and requirements are diff
ferent; what suits one would not suit
another, but this room would make q
very nice library or smoking den. and
that is what every man should have.
If he doesn't smoke, some of his
friends do, and most women object to
having tobacco smoke scattered pro-
miscsously through any other part of
the house, and they cannot be blamed
for this objection. The house means
more to woman than it does to
man, and it is her pride and ambition
to have it exactly right and to have
things as nice and delicate as her keen
sense of propriety suggests.
The sitting room and dining room
in this plan are almost like one long
room. The archway between may be
fitted with portieres or not. If por-
there's are used and looped we'll back
the view is rot obstructed to any
great extent, and company of doz-
en- or two may comfortably occupy the
two rooms. The general plan of this
house is what used to be called the
Boston style. 1t is rather after the
long and narrow order, being % feet
wide and SO feet long. exclusive of
porches.
There are some advantages in
house of this shape. You get more
light and better air. The rooms may
be placed to better advantage without
using diagonal partitions, which are
Objectionable because they do not
leave nice corners to place good
pieces of furniture. Every corner in
this house is square, except the bay
windows, and nobody wants a square
corner in place of this kind. The

Sound Deflector.

open top of the. piano to defect the
sound waves issuing therefrom, and
direct them to the audience in the
room or concert hall. The dehector
is very simple device of light con-
struction, comprising two end boards
connected by a curved back of such
form as properly to direct the sound
into the room. The end boards are
formed with cushioned fianges adapted
to rest on the side wall and thus pre-
vents lateral displacement. In conse-
quence, the deflector does not need to
be fastened in place, but may be read
lily set in position or removed without
operating any fastening means. By
its use the full volume of sound passes
in concentrated form into the room
without being diffused. A patent on
this sound deflector has recently been
secured by Newport, r. L., man.

weather, may be taken off and re-
placed with sharp ones. The shoe Is
held in place by clamps made of
rolled steel that is SO pliable it may
be doubled withou breaking. The
band, or clamp, touches the shoe at
each heel and at the toe, but does not
cross the back of the hoof, thus af-
fording the natural expansion of the
frog when the weight of the animal is
thrown upon it. There are four short
brads coming up from the sole of the
shoe which extend into the shell of the
hoof a quarter of an inch. They are
merely TO stay the shoe. The shoe is
fastened on with the aid of small
wrench.
This shoe may be taken off or re-
placed at will Every part of the
years. All that is necessary is to
have on hand few extra calks, which
any farmer or horseman may re-
place.

Mass of Stipa Grass.

We quote below, says the Literary
Digest, from an abstract made for the
Revue Scientifique. Says the writer:
''In South America chiefly in the
vast plain that extends from Pata-
gonia up to Bahia Blanca, and also in
the province of Santa Fe and in
Uruguay, there are large grasses of
the genus Stipa, which grow in tho
spring, and whose misdeeds have been
exposed by Mr.. Blanchard.
These grasses have a fruit about
rs millimeters (three inches) long,
made up of three parts; first, short
basal portion formed of a conical
axis with a very sharp point covered
with sharp stiff hairs directed back
ward; second, cylindrical part
formed of a membrane enclosing the
seed; and third, a shaft like that of
an arrow.
''All the Stipas of South America
have these arrows, which, when the

beard, hair or clothes, but If he
neglects to pluck them off at once
they penetrate the thickest garments
and reach the skin; if an attempt is
made to withdraw them they break,
and the seed remains embedded in the
cloth, being removed with great diff
ficulty. In any case, although man
may contend successfully against
them, animals are unable to do so,
and the sheep that are bred in such
numbers on the pampas are their
chief victims; the darts of the Stipa
penetrate their eyeballs and blind
thoEc, so that, being no longer able
to find their way about, they die OF
hunger and thirst. The seeds also
form amid the hair of the feet, and
over the whole cutaneous surface a
mass of sharp points which every
movement pushes nto the flesh, giving
rise to ulcers, to which the animal
generally succumbs.
THE darts also penetrate into the
salivary glands of herbivorous ami
mails, where they accumulate in
great masses; these form especially
under the tongue, where they render
difficult the movements of the organ
and the prehension of food
"The genus Stipa is disseminated
throughout warm and temperate re-
gions, but is rarely found in Eu-
rope. There are about a hundred spe-
cies, OF which four are found in
France, but as these grasses are
driven out by cultivation, they are
seldom found in gardens and fields,
and are not at all dangerous to cattle
in France"

SOUND DEFLEcToR FOR PIANOS
Arrangement by Which the Sound Is
Thrown Out Into the Room.

It does seem rather odd that the
source of music in a piano should be
completely boxed up in case, so that
the sound waves must first pentrate
the case before they can reach our
ears. To be sure, some pianos are
provided with swinging front, and a
hinged lid at the top, which may be
opened to prevent complete muff1ing
os the sound; but the sound is de-
fiected downward by the hinged front,
or passes directly up to the ceiling
when the top of the case is open.
In the accompanying engraving, says
the Semitic American, we illustrate a
device which may be placed over the

pipe in the bathroom.
The old-fashioned way of heating a
house was to lead the biggest pipe to
the lower hall and let the air float up
stairs naturally, but natural conditions
cannot always be depended upon to
furnish good results. A good furnace
man, if given plans before the build
ing is started, can lay out system Of
pipes that will heat every room with

hall. There is another extreme To this
proposition, and that is to keen the
front hall shut off and not have anv
