Parade Music.

Among the echoes OF the Hudson
Fulton doings are criticisms both from
home and outside sources upon the
trivial and Inappropriate music played
by the bands in the marching columns.
The New York Evening Post thinks
Sousa's washington Post" and Lib
erty Bell" far preferable to newcom-
ers in popular favor, especially the
short lived music hall aud street or
gan favorites. German and English
guests on the reviewing stand COM
mented upon the incongruity of such
airs as my Wife's Gone to the Coun-
try" and 81 Love My Wife; but. Oh.
You Kid" played to introduce his
toric pageantry.
Dissenting from its New York con-
temporary's opinion that unless We
cling to Sousa we should go. to Aus
tria, France and Germany for our
marching airs, the Chicago Evening
Post says, "Why should Marching
Through Georgia and Tramp. Tramp.
Tramp and the rest Of the war songs
Of the sixties be laid On the shelf"
But these, particularly the first named.
may be thought to have Il sectional
tinge. Yet the once sectional Dixie"
is now a favorite everywhere. The
New York Post urges a music master
to arrange a program Of music. for
parades, and that is perhaps the only
way to have the music fit the particu-
lar sentiment Of the occasion.

vanderbilt's Big Forest.


According to u recent bulletin Of the
government forestry service, the $780,
600 acres Of forests on George Van
derbilt's estate at Biltmore are 'made
profitable" The, profit comes from the
material cut every year. This, the
bulletin states. consists of 100000
feet OF lumber, 5000 cords of fannie
acid wood and fuel. 1000 cords Of tan
bark and several hundred cords Of
wood pulp. %vanderbilt's experiment
In private forestry is remarkable both
on account ct it's extent and the. va
riety and scope Of the work done.
In connection with all logging op-
crations permanent logging roads are
constructed. These roads minimize the
present cost of getting out the product
and will greatly reduce the cost Of
marketing crops in the future. The
roads also make good fire lanes and
afford protection for the young trees
which are planted wherever there is
suitable protection against fire. Work
men employed in the forest and in the
fields along the forest boundaries do
duty as fire guards. The experimental
work in s%ilviculture done at Biltmore
is certain to stimulate interest In sci
entifc forestry as applied to private
domains.
