The Art of OverIookinu.

Nobody can live long in the world
and not admit that the words moth
ing for nothing" contain a sad amount
Of truth. He is of course a fool who
does not count the cost so far as the
future is concerned, but scarcely less
a fool is he who does not overlook past
costs. If we have any good or de-
Hghtfui thing in this life. at all haz-
ards let us not taint our enjoyment by
considering what we gave for 1t. Was
it more than we could afford? Never
mind. We have afforded It; we have
made our purchase. Let US take off
the ticket with the price and burn the

ROADS IN CHINA.
They Are Narrow and Crooked and
EGged With bitches.

They Are Narrow and Crooked and
EGged With bitches.
The Chinese road is private prop
erty, d strip taken from somebody's
land. This is done much against the
will of the owner. since he not only
loses the use OF it, but also still has TO
pay taxes on it.
One consequence is that it is wide
enough for only one vehicle. and carts
can pass one another only by trespass-
Ing on the cultivated land. To prevent
this the farmers dig deep bitches by
the roadside. AS the surface wears
away and the dust blows of It gradu
ally grows lower. and after awhile it
becomes a drain for the surrounding
fields A current forms In the rainy
season. which still further hollOws 1t
out, and thus has arisen the prOverb
that a road a thousand years old be-
comes a river.
Those whose lands are used for
roads naturally prefer to have the
roads run along the edge Of their
farms instead Of cutting across them.
and this accounts for the fact that
Chinese roads are often SO crooked
that one may have to go a considerable
distance to reach a place that is in re-
ality but a few miles away. This al
ways interests the stranger.

RESERVE HORSES FOR WAR.
sVsitzerIand's Remarkable Method Of
Preparing For Rapid mebiliza-
ton ct Her Troops.

In Switzerland the state Is part own
er OF horses used by reserves. Il pur.
chases a remOunt at three and q half
years old. and the soldier pays half
the cost OF the horse TO the govern
ment. together with the difference be-
tween Its cost and the price that the
horse fetches at auction. for all horses
are sold by auction to the men.
After every year OF training the gov.
ernment refunds One-tenth of the orig.
mai half cost to the man. and at the
enc or ten years the horse becomes
the absolute property OF the soldier.
10 this manner the soldier is not only
slways well mounted, but as be keeps

mobilization problem is of the simplest
nature.
The average price OF these Swiss
troop horses Is about f45. saws Baily's

are imported from ireland and north
Germany their price is considerable
higher than II would be In Great Brit

other expenses which must be tuclljd

etc. which raises the total cost Of
horses for the Swiss government to

Lessons from His Life.

In summing up the accomplishments
of this great and renowned Negro
musician. who has over IS published
works to his credit; who has met
with the most hattering critical no.
tees from the greatest critics: who
has mastered the violin, harmony.
counterpoint, orchestratiOn, form and
all the other varied subjects that go
to make up a thorough musician; who
has travelled extensively and met MIL
sicians Of all climes; who has made an
imperishable reputation as a COM
poser, conductor, teacher and violin
ist, we are delighted to say he has
not lost his head. Modesty, sincerity,
manliness, hospitality and friendliness
seem stamped indelibiy IN his noble
character. Read between the lines,
students and musicians. Though a
genius Of the first order, yet he found
il necessary TO get broad musical
training as a foundation upon which
to erect h.s wonderful musical man
sions. Let every musician of cur race
emulate his example. labor as he has.
with noble and worthy ideals ever in
the front, and the wonderful art that
he has so grandly beautihed will ad-
vance still more rapidly. and as time
rolls on, who knows that we may not

international Reputation.

Though Mr.. Taylor is now only 60
years of age. he has to his credit an
international reputation Of which any
white musician, however great, would
not be ashamed to possess. Louis c.
Elson, a great critic, writing of Tay-
lor and his great book, "Twenty-four
Negro Melodies, says:
In every phase of conversation Mr..
Coleridge Taylor impressed one as be-
ing a man of all-rOund intelligence. "
Booker T. Washington, in his fine
preface to the same volume, says:
" 1t is especially gratifying at this
time, when interest in the plantation
songs seems to be dying out with the
generation that gave them birth. when
the Negro song IS IN too many minds
associated with rag music and the
more reprehensible coon song, that
the most cultivated musician of his
race, a man of the highest esthetic
ideals. should seek to give permanence
TO the folk songs Of his people by
giving them new Interpretation and
an added dignity.
Mr. Thomas Taper, the erudite
writer, theOrist and lecturer. in the
ed torials Of the Musician for October,
1904. writes in the following strain:
Personally, Coleridge Taylor is a
man who makes a distinct impression
of earnestness and enthusiasm. He
5 an.mated-We should describe him
The Washington bee., 1911-03-18

as being fully alive His conversa-
ten is rapid; his listening faculty
we'll developed; his desire for knowl-
edge is constantly in evidence, and
yet the fundamental impression is
that here is sincere, simple, earnest
man, who loves his art and is happy
beyond telling that he may, as Jacob
of old, serve.
From these few estimates, given at
random, we see that Mr.. Taylor has
planted the flag securely upon the
musical shores of time

His Works.

On November II, 1903, the first
number from his great "Hlawatha
Trilogy," composed while he was yet
a student, was performed at a stu
dents concert at the Royal College
of Music and met with immediate sue
cess. 1t was afterwards produced by
several of Englands leading choral
societies. His fresh, original melO-
dies, ingenious rhythms, simple
themes, grand and noble harmonic de-
velOpment, rich and ever enchanting
mOdulations, not only caught the
hearts of his auditors, but also those
of his many critics. TaylOr's great
work, "Eiiawatha's Trilogy,' was not
planned at first as whole and con-
tinuOus composition. "Hiawatha' S
Wedding Feast" Of which | have
spoken, was first produced November
II, 1893.
In response to a special invitation
of the committee of the North Stat
fOrdshire Musical Festival The Death
of Munnehaha' was written and pro-
duced under the composers own dl-
rection at Hanley October 70, 1900.
This part met with the same and pos
sibly more hattering success than the
former. The third section or part,
"Hiawatha's Departure" combined
with the other two sections, were pro-
duced together, making the great
"Hiawatha TrilOgy," at Royal Albert
Hall, London, March p, 1000, the
composer himself conducting. This
triple production. known generally as
the "Hiawatha Trilogy,' is considered
by many critics the composers mas
terpiece.
A work of great beauty. The
overture to the Song of Hiawatha,
for full orchestra, a distinct work from
those mentioned, was performed at
the Norwich Musical Festival of 1900
for which it was especially composed
Other noted works that have been
produced in England are "Ballade IN
A Minor" performed at Gloucester
Festival of 1893: Meg Blame" an or
chestral and choral rhapsody, was
conducted by the composer at the
Sheffield Musical Festival in 1909.
His soul-inspiring sacred cantata
'The Atonement" was given at Here
ford Festival, September o, 1908, the
composer conducting. This grand
work was also admirably produced on
April IS, 1906, by the 5. Coleridge

and was sentenced to an indetermin-

At that time he claimed that he
thought his first wife had secured a
divorce from him before he was
married to Lucinda Brantwait, of
