NalinnaIi.n in Mn.ln

1t is a curious fact that no great ma
tional music has ever been written
among a people living under a repub-
lican form Of government. The Swiss
are, perhaps, the oldest example Of
people living permanently under that
regime, and there has never been a
Swiss composer OF any note or of even
moderate ability. Against this it may
be urged that the American democ-
racy is unquestionably sui generis;
that nothing Ike It has evet existed
before, and that for this reason, being
In a position to make precedent for
ourselves we need not necessarily con-
slider democracy per Sc as ininnicai to
musical development On the con-
trary, the very variety of the elements
which are now forming the American
nation would argue IN favor Of the
possibility of the foundation Of ma
tional school Of music, which, in unit
ing the characteristics Of many peo-
Piles. might in time develop into some
thing broader and stronger, fresher,
more vital and more spontaneous than
anything the world has hitherto seen.

A sian of Death.

There may have been many "signs"
Of death--so some people believe-but
one described here is probably new to
many. Mr.. w. B. Cooper of Chelten-
ham tells Of his father being III, but
not confined to bed. and one sunny day
In June when he walked across the
garden another man, the facsimile Of
his father, met him and apparently
passed into him."
shortly after my father came to me
and said, Did you see me go across
the gardenT ] said, Yes Well he
said, 4 shan't be here long. Our fam
lily see themselves before they die
Although had seen this, I saids Non
sense He shook his head and walked
away. Shortly after he took to his
bed and died July 3. My father during
the few days he was in bed-we were
haymaking at the time-asked each
morning, Which field are you in now?'
When we came to a certain field called
'Cadley,' he said, with sigh Of great
satisfaction, 'Ah, shall die now
He died the same morning near mid
day.-T. P.'s London Weekly.

Died With Warm Feet.

Isaac O'Barns, once pension commits
sioner in Boston, appointed by Presi-
dent Franklin Pierce, was known for
his terse and cutting sayings. It was
told Of him that he promised to sub
scribe for the erection Of a Baptist
church on condition that they should
"baptize 'em in hot water"
It is OF Mr. O'Barns the story is told
that when on his deathbed, or when
he thought he was dying and the doc
tor had pronounced his feet warm and
said that no one had ever died with
warm feet. the old gentleman inquired
in a whisper whether the doctor bad
forgotten the case Of John Rogers.

Old Time Salaries.

How often clerks and other employ
ees Of biz firms are heard to complain
Of the small salaries they received Yet
II they realized that Columbus drew a
salary OF only just over fe6 a year
they would. perhaps. hesitate before
grumbling at their 400 or f150 per an
mum. Prominent clergymen have re-
ceived as much as and more than f1o,-
600 q year, and yet John Knox ONLY
got les. Sd. a week, and that was As.
I'd. more than Scottish judges OF his
time. 1t must be confessed. however,
that at this period Of small salaries
money went a long way. For instance,
a good Christmas dinner for a family
Of six during the sixteenth century
could be provided for an outlay OF
about eightpence halfpenny.-London
Standard.

GOOD BERRY SEASON
Outlook Is for a Heavy Crop in Prin.

The outlook for a heavy strawberry
crop is practically assured by the pre-
vailing weather in the producing coun-
ties OF Maryland and Delaware. Ac-
oording to reports the recent frosts and
cold spell did not affect the plants, as
the blooms were not far enough adyan-
cod. Strawberry buyers arc down the

and are making very heavy purchases
Of the growing crops for future deliv-

THE BEDROOM IN SUMMER.

Place mirrors so that the direct
rays of the sun do not fall upon them.
The strong sunlight gives the glass a
milky appearance which can never be
entirely remedied.
The light single blanket that nearly
every one has may be made into pleas
ant summer coverlets by covering with
a silkoline slip tied here and there to
keep it smooth. This protects the
blanket and is easily washed.
A trained nurse of long experience
emphasized the necessity of keeping
mirrors out of the sick room. The pa
tient should never be allowed to look
illness in ones own face give a shock
which it is hard for the nurse to soothe
away.
1t is good plan in making feather
pillows to have the feathers first put
in a case or bag of cheesecloth. Then
the ticking cover can easily be laun-
dered. If one wishes to wash the
feathers it will be found simple proc
ess if they are left in their cheesecloth
covering.
Every bedroom should if possible be
furnished with three lights, one on
each side Of the toilet table or dress
ing bureau and one by the bed for
reading by night. These may be elab-
crate or simple. as one chooses, but
unless room is richly furnished and
something out Of the ordinary is de-
sired then those that are the plainest
and least noticeable are best.
Many times girls are hampered by
ugly furniture that they had no hand
in buying, by wall paper that was the
bad dream Of some decadent designer,
by lack Of money to spend for pretty
little touches that give charm to q
room. But they need not be discour.
aged, though beauty Of line and color
seems blank impossibility for which
1t is useless to struggle. Perfect neat.
ness and order, fresh, crisp curtains
and plant growing In the window
give an inviting air to the place
though the curtains are muslin and the
plant but a sweet potato in a jar O,
water.
