The president of Northwestern Uni
versity, in an address before the Mu-
sic Teachers National Association in
Chicago, said that the American peo-
pie are musical barbarians, and that
the function of the musician is to civil
lze them. The statement is extrava-
CANT in form, but is not untrue. 1t is
probably true also that the English,
the French, the German, the Russian.
and every other nation, taking them as
whole, are musical savages. Knowl-
edge of the best music and apprecia-
t1on OF 1t is confined, in every country.
to the few who have the opportunity
and the money to become familiar with
1t. But Americans are not so bar
barous musically as they were a gen.
Grafton ago. Chicago, Pittsburg, New
York, Boston and other cities have
long maintained first class musical or
CARNATIONS, and their concerts and
operas have educated and entertained
great army of men and women who
do missionary work for good music
whenever the subject is discussed. An
other musical educator of wider influ-
ence that the orchestras and singing
societies Is the mechanical piano play
er. This device makes 1t possible for
any person with fondness for music
to play in his own home the master
pieces of the best composers. Com
positions which a professional mu-
sician cannot learn to execute on
piano without long and tedious prac-
tice can be played with marvellous ex-
preston by a tyro after an hours
practice on the mechanical player. A
still humber, but more far-reaching
influence In popular musical education,
is the monograph or graphophone,
which reproduces vocal as we'll as in
strumental music. The more expen-
sive forms of the instrument are so
perfect that when record made by
a famous opera singer is run through

whether he is hearing human voice
or a machine.

The Peculiar Snail.

The common snail has lungs. heart
and general circulation, and is in
every respect an air breathing creature.
This Notwithstanding, he can live on
indefinitely without inhaling the least
atom of air, that which is usually con-
sidered the essential to existence in all
creatures supplied with lungs.
Leppert says: 'To all organized crea-
lures the removal of oxygen, water,
nourishment and heat causes death to
ensue." When that statement was
made he did not appear to consider the
snail as one among the great host of
organized beings" for the expert
ments made by Prof. Spallanzani prove
that any or all the usual life condi-
tions can be removed in its case with
out terminating its existence OF in any
way impairing its functions.

idea that the big job is to eJothe and
feed them and give them the oppor-
tunities the schools afford. We would
save them from working with their
hands and insure them starched
shirts during their lives. But all this
is nothing in comparison with the real
work of rearing the men and women
OF the future. We delegate to others
their training, moral, intellectual and
religious. We become mere feeders
and clothiers of bodies, and we do this
much for animals. Children need COM
panionship, and companionship means
more than segregation in home with
blood relatives. The closest compan-
ionship is sometimes reserved for kin
dred souls of other families. Children
need to be treated with consideration
while they are passing through the
most sensitive period of their career.
You can never wound a man as you
can a child. And it is almost impos-
sible to influence a man as you can
child. The very life stuff of the future
is in our hands, and how little we
know about molding it.

One Caused by Archibald Forbes At
tributed to NapOleon's Rage.
Pens and furniture used in the sign
ing of famous treaties and documents
recall Archibald Forbes experience
after Sedan, the London Chronicle
says. After witnessing Napoleon's in
terview with Bismark at wayside cot
tage and his subsequent surrender,
Forbes and fellow war correspondent
slept at the chateau which the fallen
emperor had occupied the night before.
The bedroom was just as Napoleon had
left it and by the bed the open book
with which he had read himself to
sleep. 1t was Lytton's Last of the
Barons." Sitting at the adjoining
writing table Forbes wrote his dis
patches, while his companion gnawed
at ham bone, their sole remainder
of food. Irate at the little eating 1t
furnished, he flung it across the room
and upset the inkstand into which
Forbes was dipping. When
Forbes revisited the chateau a month
or so later the ink stain was pointed
out as caused by Napoleons rage on
learning the German terms of peace.
