Music of 9Th. Lost oborss

The music of ''The Lost Chord" was composed under most touching coedf- tons. Arthur Sullivan was watching by the bed of his dying brother, Fred er1ck. One night shortly before death the invalid sank into peaceful slum- ber. Arthur, who attended his broth CT day and night, took the oDpoF- tunity to read. and it happened that his eyes fell on Adelaide Anne Proc ter's poem, 'The Lost Chord" The verses impressed him greatly, and nu- sic appropriate to them suggested ft- self to his mind. Taking . sheet Of music paper, he began to write, and So absorbed was he in his task that he sat hour after hour working at ft untiI the song was completed Probably the acute emotional conditions under which the music was composed e. count largely for the power to touch the emotions which undoubtedly The Lost Chord" possesses.-Gsorge Leon varney in National Magazine

The sketch shows cross-section of
this cold frame house. The beds are
put where the plants can be easily set
and the air inclosed is of so large a

to the plants. In extreme cold wealth

will build two more frames like this

In making the frame we dug the
trench wide enough to set two rows of
cedar pickets. three feet apart in the
row. We set these pickets so that
the trench was two feet wide and
about three feet deep. We boarded
them up on the outside and made the
beds as shown in sketch. four feet
wide on either side Of trench. Then
we drove row OF short pickets at
the outside edge of each bed and
boarded these up on the inside. We
banked up earth on the outside to a
2x4 plate, which was nailed to the
