HIS MUSIC CABINET.
BY n. n. HUDSON.

When the mind centers its activity
In the development of the artistic, a
certain illumination finds inevitable
expressions in the countenance.
II was so in the case OF Herbert
Shade, whom had known from early
boyhood Herbert was what might be
called a musical prodigy; and while
his father was a wealthy manufactur-
er. his son could in no way be per-
suaded 10 seek the rewards OF conf
mercialism, and was ultimately ig-
nored and disowned by his parents.
But this did not deter him In his
ambition, for after securing a must
cal education, he obtained a position
as salesman at the monograph coun-
ter of department store, where he
heard and sold all the latest records.
I observed his extreme happiness as
he noted the effect the records had on
the purchasers.
One day | received an urgent invi-
tation TO call on him at his home. He
greeted me cordially, but there seem
ed TO be a weight resting on his soul.
His face was irawn and his move
ments nervous in the extreme. After
a few preliminary remarks, he con-
quoted me to side room and babe

room was phonograph cabinet

he gave me hurried explanation Of
the entertainment in store. From the
remarks which followed | soon learn
pd that he had made deep study of
the psyche. Taking the familiar

springs OF emotion which would be
awakened by the souls of the depart
ed would be superior to the known
harmodies OF earth, and in this | was
not mistaken.
Throughout the past, among the
rudest savages and civilizations, there
has been the effort 10 make the ear
subservient TO The stirring UP OF
pleasurable feelings. Furthermore
the architecture, painting, and sculp-
ture of the past has survived the
shock OF time; but not so with music
The music of the past Is hidden in
speculation, and no records survive
the periods of highest civilization and
esthetic splendor. The unique method
adopted by my friend permitted the
harmonies of the past to manifest
themselves anew.
Many OF the selections were weird
end uncanny suggesting the quaint
ideas of music long since hidden from
the world. The subjects were an.
nounced by the records. and among
the first was an instrumental produc-
ton rendered in the ancient court OF
the Egyptian monarch Mineptah. the
instrument used being a harp. | sat

settings Of the marvellous productions
Another record brought forth a
Babylonian song to the god Ra. and
the listener could picture the brilliant

the air laden with perfume, as they
trod on rugs which were the pride OF
the ancient world. Then came the
boisterous song of Teuton TO the god
OF war. I perceived that Shade was
much overwrought as he finally step
ped to the cabinet and adjusted an.
other needle. also noticed that II
took all the strength of the exhausted
operator TO wind the motor. but as ne
tottered-back and dropped into his
chair ! eagerly awaited the record
which | suspected would be forthcom-
ing. Finally the instrument began to
give forth beautiful soprano solo.
