MUSICIANS OF TENDER YEARS.
Many youthful Prodigies" In the
World Of Melody.

Like so many of the worlds great
composers, Sir Edward Elgar was a
youthful prodigy" of exceptional gifts,
as was proved by a recent perform
ance of suite composed by him at
the immature age Of IL. But even Sir
Edward was probably not as preco-
cious as one of his English predeces-
sors, Samuel Wesley, who in his eighth
year heard a regimental band play
march which he had composed for 1t.
At II Franz Schubert had already
placed several songs, string quartettes
and piano pieces to his credit. Han
del's first attempts at composition
were made at eight, and Vieuxtemps,
who began to scrape the strings Of a
tiny fiddle at two, is said to have been
even more precocious. Sir Charles
Halle was only four years old when he
played in public sonata expressly
composed for him; List was public
performer at nine, Chopin and Ruben
stein at, eight, Lady Halle and Joachim
at seven, and at Ave Mozart composed
a piece of music almost too difacult
for his father to play.

CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case of Scabies-Body Mass
OF Sores from Scratching-Her
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.

"a young woman came to our city
mission in most awful condition physi-
cally Our doctor examined her and
told us that she had scabies (the itch),
incipient paresis, rheumatism. ETC.,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We worked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day bought cake of
Cuticura Soap and a bottle Of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, and we bathed our
patient well and gave her full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day I got a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this
young woman was able to look for a
position, and she is now strong and well.

THE LIVING ROOM.
II Should nc All Times 5e "LIvabIe"
Room.

What to do with the living room il
a problem that confronts every house
keeper. The living room should be
in fact as well as in name a living
room-a livable room. 1t is the room
in which the most of our time at
home is spent, the hours we have for
leisure, the time we have for play,
the place where we entertain our
friends and it is absolutely essential
that the walls and furnishings of the
living room should be harmonious in
color suitable in texture. and durable
in material.
The rich, soft, solid colored walls
are the ideal walls for the living
rooms. They make a better back
ground for pictures, throw the furni-
ture out in better relief, are less dis
cordant with rugs and carpeting, and
indicate a higher degree of taste and
culture than do the colored mon
strosities which we paste on when we
apply wall paper.
Who ever saw roses climbing up a
plastered wall growing out of hard
wood floor? Yet, that is what we
suggest to the Imagination when we
paste paper covered with roses on
our walls. They are neither artistic
nor true. Roses are all very beauti-
full, but they were never made tc
climb up interior walls and they dc
not grow from hardwood flooring
! The set figures of wall paper are also
tiresome and equally disagreeable and
repellant.
The alabastined wall Is the only
correct form of a tinted or solid col
ored wall Fortunately it is the only
clean way, and more fortunately it |;
the only permanent way; the only
way that does not involve the end
less labor in the future.
In lighting the walls some though
must be given the color. Light color!
reflect $50 of the light thrown upoI
them. Dark colors reflect but 15%c
Lighting bills can be saved by choos
ing a color which will reflect tn
largest degree of light. In mort!
rooms use warm colors or color
which reflect light. In south an
west rooms sometimes the light cal
be modified by the use of darke
colors. Dark greens absorb the light
light yellows reflect it; browns moo
ify 1t, and so on, through the seal
of colors. The color scheme OF
room not only Is dependent upon tn
color of the carpetings but 1t Is ais
dependent upon the light OF the room

this line the st. Louis Republic edi-

harmony and activity from Kansas
City are an early attestation Of the
spirit yigor and enthusiasm with
which the campaign In the State is to
be made. The hollowness Of the plans
OF the Republicans is demonstrated.
Hopeless OF electing their ticket on its
merits, either as declared BY the can
dates or In the principals involved,
their effort is directed to creating
dessension among the Democrats by
foolish gossip and alley-fence scandal
manufactured for purposes OF mis-
chief. IL was too much to hope that
the Republicans, so far as their news
papers indicate their Intentions
would expect to elect a man to the
position Of Governor because they be-
lieveu him to be a better man, or
ticket because of the superiority Of
of it's personal. In this respect the
Democrats are in happy position
