NOTES OF ANIMALS.
The Theory of One Writer About the
Origin of Music.

The Theory of One Writer ABOUT tho
Origin Of Music.
Music did not have its birth
"when Jubal struck the corded
SHE'LL" as ignorant humanity has
been led to suppose.
Music originated in the cry Of
the peacock, the bleat Of the goat
and the croak of the frog, Accord
ing to an interesting article on the
relationship between music and
emotion, which appears in the An
nails of Psychical Science, DR.. Hen
ry Fotherby, the writer, also sug-
gests that the appreciation of time
and rhythm in music may be due to,
the rhythmic shock of the hearts
beat on the circulation.
The nerves, he says, may play an
important part in the appreciation
of musical sounds, and he points
out the connection between the
nerves and music by the tendency
to express music when heard by
movements of the head and arms
and sometimes by the trunk and
legs,
DIR. Fotherby gives a feasible
reason for the fact that the lower
notes of the scale have always been
employed to describe anger, fear
and reverence, while the treble
notes have been associated with
sunshine, light heartedness, socia-
bility and love. The lower notes
associate themselves with the
growls of wild beasts, the moan Of
the wind in the forest, the roar Of
thunder. The upper notes initiate
the songs of birds, the chirp Of the
grasshopper, the hum of insect life.
"The Hindoo note Sa, CORE
spending with our G." says DIR.
Fotherby, sis the note of the pea
cock. Ri, our D, was the note Of
the lowing of an OK. These were
always attributed to wonder and
terror.
"Ga, or E, Ma, or Il, were the
cries of the goat and the crane re-
spectively and were associated with
compassion and love.
"'Ni, or B, Dha, or A, were the
notes of the elephant and the frog,
the former associated with compass
sion and the latter with disgust or
alarm"

Aunt H.prlbah,. Exclamation.

Aunt Hepzibah was usually a
careful housewife, and things sell
dom went wrong under her man
agement, but one evening she left
the lid off the big canister in which
she kept her best oolong tea, and
half grown cat crept inside of it
and slept on the fragrant contents.
Aunt Hepzibah's horror on dis
covering it the next morning was
heightened by the fact that she
was entertaining a friend who was
particularly fond Of tea and always
used it for breakfast. The nearest
grocery store was half a mile away,
and nothing could be done to repair
the mischief.
t1'm awfully sorry, Mrs, Wye
koff," she said to her guest at
breakfast time, "but something
happened to my oolong last night,
and I've nothing to offer you to
take its place but-cat-nap tea.
You'd rather have coffee than that,
I'm sure"
The gWest preferred the coffee,
and the story never leaked out I'M
til Aunt Hepzibah told it herself

The Races.

A well-flled grapdstand watched
Wednesdays track events. There
wasn't q large field of starters in any
contest, but the 2.30 class developed
considerable enthusiasm, as was a
real "hoss race" Redwing took the
first two heats, but it was Bill Bry-
ants day to win and he took the heat

"a local favorite, got no nearer than

THE WATER SITUATION

Water stopped running to most
of the houses in the village Wednes-
day forenoon, owing to the failure Of
the Aqueduct companys supply in
its main reservoir. Water was then
turned on from the small reservoir,
and this will last only few days.
Unless rain falls within week
Woodstock will have a water famine
on its hands.
The Aqueduct company issued
another bulletin Wednesday con
corning the situation, again urging
the strictest economy in the use of
water.
The situation is almost or quite
unparalleled here. Springs and wells
that never failed before have given
out. The air is filled with clouds
of choking dust that almost obscure
distant hills, and the present dis
comforts and dangers are only a
warning of what's coming if the
drouth continues a week longer.

Fine Stock Parade

One of the best features of the
fair years ago, a cavalcade of oxen
and horses, was revived this year,
this being the first time for con-
siderable period that enough oxen
we're entered to make a show. The
parade started at o'clock Thursday,
headed by the band, and it included
81 yokes of oxen, several prize-win-
ming bulls, a dozen pair of draft
horses, and several stations, includ-
ing H. H. Totman's Percheron.
1t made a brilliant show on the
track and will be looked for another
year.

Panama Hata

That panama hats are woven I'M
der water is denied by a man who
has all his life been engaged in the
panama hat trade and has himself
made the hats. The hats are
woven in the early morning hours,
when the atmosphere is damp, as
the heat of the sun makes the fiber
brittle and unfit for manipulation
At night the hat is hung out in the
open air, where it ahsorbs the dew
and is in condition for work again
the next morning. This accounts
for the great length of time (from
one to three months) required for
the making of panama hst.-NeW

Maple Sugar Show.

The exhibit of maple sugar and
syrup was a novel surprise this year,
as the result Of the labors of Supt. F.
S. Billings, who has made it a feature
of the Floral hall, if not of the whole
grounds. At the entrance to the sec
ond floor of the building a sugar
house was built for the display,
which was much larger than that of
last year. AT one end was a maple
tree hung with buckets, showing
primitive methods of tapping, sap
trough hewn from wood being one
of the old-time implements. Hung
about the walls were all sorts of old
sugar-making utensils-wooden sap
spouts, tapping irons, skimmers,
yokes, etc., and in one corner was an
old kettle hung on a pole, ready for
fire beneath.
There we're II entries in the one

FLORAL HALL

Floral hall had an excellent dis
play of craftsmanship, needlework
and fancy articles usually found
there. There were not as many pill
lows as usual, and perhaps tile
absence was relief. There was
some especially good lacework, cen
ter-pieces, etc.
E. Winfred Morgan, Is years, had
several novel exhibits, one being
broken china work, and he showed
