A Financial Parable.

Just before the collection was taken

most of the fowls had disappeared. 81

NationaIism In Music.

1t is q curious fact that no great ma
tional music has ever been written
among people living under repub-
lican form Of government. The Swiss
are, perhaps, the Oldest example OF a
people living permanently under that
regime, and there has never been n
Swiss composer of any note or Of even
moderate ability. Against this II may
be urged that the American demCc.
racy is unquestionably sui gene;is:
that nothing like II has ever existed
before, and that for this reason. being
In a position to make precedent fCl
ourselves we need not necessarily 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-
pies, might in time develop into some
thing broader and stronger, fresher,
more vital and more spontaneous than
anything the world has hitherto seen.

A sign 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 i'll, 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 garden? l said, Yes Well he
said, Il shan't be here long. Our fam
lily see themselves before they die
Although 1 had seen this, 1 said, Non
sense. He shook his head and walked
away. Shortly after he took to his
bed and died July s. 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 certain field called
Galley he said, with a sigh Of great
satisfaction. 'Ah, l shall die now.'"
He died the same morning near mid
day.-T. P.'s London Weekly.

Old Time Salaries.

How often clerks and other employ
ees of big firms are heard to complain
Of the small salaries they receive! Yet
if they realized that Columbus drew a
salary Of only just over EGG a year
they would, perhaps, hesitate before
grumbling at their f100 or ESQ per an
mum. Prominent clergymen have re-
ceived as much as and more than f10,-
600 year, and yet John Knox only
got les. Sd. 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 long way. For instance.

viii Be Named After Senator Palmer,
Who Is Principal Donor.
That Senator Thomas w. Palmer of
Detroit is a thorough believer in CO
education, and in athletic training for
girls when in college is evidenced by
the fact that he has just given $4,000
towards the new athletic park for
girls at the University of Michigan,
and by what he has said in a recent
interview.
Il believe physical development has
been denied in many of its forms to
