THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES

ANSWER to Rudyard Kipling)
When the earth emerged from chaos,
full of beauty and of grace.
Man, ordained to be it's ruler, God ap-
pointed to his place;
But the wise and kind Creator, know
ing man was incomplete.
Formed the purest of all species. wo-
man, for the mans helpmeet.
When the willy Serpent tempted, and
both man and woman fell;
When the sword of justice threatened,
when they faced the endless hell:
Not a man was promise given. seen to
br,lise the Serpents head;
Through the female of the species
came mans hope when hope was
dead.
Ever down succeeding ages, shown by
hist'ry of our world.
When the power of sin has triumphed,
sorrows banners been unfurled; ;
Man has fought and man has butch
cred;
Women's hands mems wounds have
dressed
For the female OF the species with
loves tenderness is blessed.
When the hate Of men is kindled till
like fiends with pity dead.
Robbed of natural affections. they DER
earth foul murder spread.
Then the Nightingales and Bartons,
filled with tenderness, appear;
For the female of the species in mans
hour of need is near.
Twas the female of the species who
sore travelled at our birth,
Twas the female of the species gave
the Saviour to our earth.
IT'S the mother. gentle. tender. whom
We'll love till dying breath.
'Tis the mother Of our species who is
faithful unto death.

THE SERENADE.
An Old Romantic Custom That Has

An Old Romantic Custom That Has
Fallen Into Desuetude.
In recalling the serenade Of the Phil
harmonic society to Mile. Nilsson 7 am
reminded of Il custom now fallen into
desuetude. but which at the time l
speak of (1S7O) was a favorite method
of bestowing marked compliment
upon any one whom you wished par.
ticularly to honor.
The serenade was not only offered
to visitors Of distinction. but prevailed
extensively as delicate attention
which you might pay to the lady OF
your choice. 1t was thought the prop
er thing at that period for man to
engage the best brass band he could
afford and to proceed with it after
midnight to the house of his preferred
and then to stand beneath the win
dows while the musicians played their
most sentimental and sonorous selec-
tons. 1t was not an uncommon sound
even to hear a double quartet Of male
voices. with French horn thrown in,
singing beneath the windows Of some
favored damsel, while paterfa milias or
the butler made ready some light re
freshment for the donors Of this grace
full compliment.
These romantic attentions have tax
en- fight with the advent Of electric
lights. elevated railroads and other
voices of the night. but even New York
had a few hours OF stiffness after mid
night. and the night watchman lent
an indulgent ear to these revelers, who
would doubtless be locked up as dis
turbers Of the peace did they hazard
such an enterprise under our modern
regime.-R;chard Hoffman's "Musica
