of her correspondence work in music is due
to many years Of hard study and expert
ence In teaching
The lack OF theoretical training In study
ing music retards the advancement Of the
student. A pupil does not go to school
and study reading alone, but all branches
are taken up: so It should be with music.
The Ellis Illustrated music course is a
conservatory training on the branches of
harmony, analysis, musical history, musical
vocabulary and ear training. This last
branch comprises the most complete set
Of exercises published and the results Of
these are shown in the development of
Helen PtSrce, a student nine years old, who
finished the twenty weeks course. She
names any note or number OF notes struck,
distinguishes all major, minor, diminished
and augmented chords, scales, intervals,
7 cadences, modulations, transposes and
plays in any key.
Miss Ellis gives free personal instruction
| TO those in the two cities who take the
| correspondence courses. The many classes
of all grades make il possible for a student
1 Of any advancement TO take up the con-
/ seTvatory training at any time. Visitors
/ are always welcome at her school and It
Is a matter of general education to investi-
gate her wonderful method Of teaching
| music
| The system has some strong endorse
msnts from musicians who are in a posi-
| ton to know what a conservatory training
| means. The course does not interfere with
| the private teacher; such q thorough train
/ ing only aids the conscientious teacher. II
/ balances the students and Elyes them a
| broader musical education, which is some
thing more than the playing OF the iEstru-
meut. II a student is anticipating study
. at conservatory they will save time and
money by taking the Ellis course ard re-
ceiving the certificate. which, with the
three hundred questions they are guaran-
teed TO answer may be presented al any
school and thereby satisfy the faculty of
a Well balanced knowledge, and caa only
place them ahead IN their course OF study
Music lovers are searching Tor this broader
knowledge. and we predict that the Ellis
system will soon be in general use through
out the country.

Amazing Record In Matrimony Held
 By Modern BIuebeard.

1 From Tit Bits.
 If the legendary Bluebeard were
 alive today he would no doubt be con
 sumed with envy of a certain gentle
 man, whom we will cal Dr. K, who was run to earth not long ago in America after an amazing career of
 polygamy, rne story of which leaves
 the inventions of fiction writers i'm
 potently behind. As the matrimonial feats of this modern Bluebread are almost unknown to England, brief sketch of them can scarcely fail to interest our readers.
 Dr. K was born in Switzerland forty five years ago, and is described as a , man of athletic build and attractive
 exterior, and with a strange hypnotic power, which he has done ample jus 1 tice to, over susceptible females. Until
 few years ago he was known as an exceedingly clever dentist, and seems to have been content with that useful, if painful, role, until he discovered
 that there was a more lucrative exer- else for his talents in the hearts of
 his fair patients than in their mouths. One of his earliest experiments in the domain of Cupid was on pretty
 patient who speedily fell a victim to his Vaccinations, and whom he led to the altar in 1903. But her tenure of
 married bliss was brief; for after bor-
 rowing G600 from his father-in-law, ostensibly to buy a dental practice, he
 disappeared, and few weeks later
 became the husband of another bride at Boston. Again the volatile husband vanished, this time before the honey moon was over, and with G400 of his wife's money. in search of fresh con quests. From one state to another he

with the most exacting care, he finds that dictation has made his work easier with out in the least doing injury to his style. And here Is the explanation of how tho change came. When he was in the United States, re- l gently, preparing his book, The American Scene, he met his old friend William Dean , Towels.
 To Mir. Howells he told that he had changed his method of composition. "I have begun to use dctation,' he said.
 Mir. Howells was interested but not in- terested in precisely the way that MT. James expected.
 You know why I did it, don't you?' said Mir. James.
 Why. mo- replied MT. Howells, "I don't believe do." 'I did it just because l learned that yon yourself had taken up dictation' said MT, James
 Mir. Howells looked at him in quizzical astonshment. He smiled. Mr. James be- gan to understand, and he, too, smiled.
 T? But l never use and never have used dictation!' said MT. Howells.
 And MT. James was greatly amused to think that he had made such an impor- tant change through the influence of a false report regarding his old friend.

polygamy, finding fresh wife and a new source of revenue once a month on an average, until, it is estimated, he had won and deserted a hundred brides. When he had exhausted the states he transferred his misguided talents to London and Manchester. leaving behind him a wake of aban. doned wives, of debts, and warrants for his arrest, until at last Nemesis, in the form of one of his outraged vic tims, overlook him. He was recog- nized and arrested in New York, and we may assume that for time, at any rate, his activities will find less pleasant and more restricted field for their exercise.
 As champion polygamist Dr. x. has established a record which we sincerely hope will never be ap- preached. So far, his most dangerous rival was one Emil G., native of Lyons. who in the space of six yearp

Soon after he reached the Congo Pro- lessor Starr saw the natives playing a game which resembles the American "cat's cradIe.' With loops of string they arrange designs on their fingers. Some of these were quite intricate, and the game was afterward identified in a hun dred different forms.
 Ethnologists build their theories of pos sble relationship between peoples or the mingling of races by tracing familiar games through the centuries, or the Vari- atons in a central idea of a game in widely separated nations. They have found many uncivilized peoples playing .cats cradle" in various parts of the world The discovery by Professor Starr of eats cradle" among the savages in the heart of Africa was therefore an inn portant one
 The most important point regarding "cat's cradle" among the savages of Af- rica was the fact that it could not be traced to any outside influence. Professor Starr was certain that the savages had not learned the game from white men. He was equally well convinced that the African eats cradle had not spread from hand to hand across the Sahara. up the bank of the Nile. into the heart of Africa, or from the east. Indeed, he said he could find no traces among the Af- rican savages of influences from the an cient or modern peoples to the north or east of the great African plateau To him the presence of the game suggests a series of most interesting affiliations, al though he is not yet prepared to give his deI.nite conclusions.

were bacon, hard tack, beans, peas, rice

the center of the village. The stuff
taken from the five made a great heap.
The contents OF the sixth were left for
inspection on the morrow.
By and by, when all speeches had
been concluded, hunger satisfied and
the crowd had got hold Of enough whis-

firing their guns. One of the teamsters
called out to them and tried to ex-

Butterfly That Enjoys Only rive
Hours of Life.
1t is i'm August that the naturalists
observe the marvellous insect which Ia
born, reproduces and dies In the period
of a single night on the banks Of the
Marne, Of the Seine and of the Rhine.
1t is the ephemere OF which sirammer-
dam has written and which Is spoken
OF in Aristotle.
The life of this insect does not last
beyond four or FIVE hours. 1t dies to
ward II o'clock IN the evening after
taking the form Of butterfly about six
hours after midday 1t is true. how
ever, that before taking this form IT
has lived three years In that OF a
worm. which keeps always near the

makes in the mud.

the change is made unless by pressing
the worm slightly in the region Of the
chest. BY this means II can be taken

takes place.
