Why tho Train STONED.

L remember being once in an out of
the way hamlet in Ranffshire, to and
from which the train service was of the
most primitive character. The distance
from the nearest mainline town was
only some IL or Is miles, but "the 10
cal express" took the better part of
TWO hours to cover it, stopping lesure-
~ at some half dozen stations en- route.

This was encouraging, We seemed

TO JUDGE MUSIC,
knowledge of Melody, Harmony,
Rhythm, Counterpart and Form,

1t Is Important to bear in mind that
to be a good judge of music 1t Is not
sufficient to understand the PRINCIPLES
OF the great masterworks of the past,
necessary as that is, as a foundation: :,
we must be in a. position to make an
intelligent estimate of entirely new
works.
To this end. let us ask, What is mu-
sic made of? First of ALL melody.
But melody has rhythm, SO there are
TWO clements to begin with. To sup
port the melody we build a substitute
lure Oh harmony But a melody, a
tune. is short, and to create a musical

must In some measure be judges of
eacn of the separate things out OF
which music is nade-namely, melody.
harmony. rhythm. counterpart, form
and spirit
After telling us what these con1po-
nent parts of good music mean taken
separately and in relation to each
other Mr. FarweH ends with the fol-
lowing paragraph:
These are the fundamental matters
to begin with; constant application.
