twelve times, these ehorllses develop
themselves before You like drama
filed with interest; you see each
group of the different registers adj
vaneing Excessively and at length
display their united power in ma.
jestic and wonderful finale. In this
sense the q Halleluiah' and Amen =
of the Messiah are an explosion" of
Unreasonable beauty.
Handel being questioned as to his
ideas and feelings when composing
the Hallelujah chorus, replied in his
imperfect English: 81 did think did
see all heaven before me, and the
great God himself
When he was composing his excite
ment would rise to such a pitch that
he would burst into tears. And when
the servant used to bring his chocolate
IN the morning, he often st lod with
silent astonishment to see his master S
tears mixing with the ink, as he
penned his divine notes. What tender
ness breathes through the Pastoral
Symphony and what grief is there IN
SHe was desIisea." All vino saffer-
ed must admit hi, it is impossible to
descend deeper into The depth of
sorrow.
There is scarcely any need Of nusi
cal education to comprehend Handel's
Messiah. 1t will charm the heart of
a~y person who has never heard note
OF music before in his life.
But the beautiful has also a moral
mission.
Some days after the first perform
ance of the Messiah, Handel came to
pay his repeets to Lord KnrocelI
with whom he was particularly ac-
quainted and his I.ordship paid him
high compliments on the noble enter
tainment which he had lately given the
people. "My Lord, I said Handel ~
should. be sorry if II only entertained;
l wish to make them better. +"
Who ever has listened to this music
will admit that its most distinctive
characteristic is the sublime. SO one,
neither Beethoven nor Mozart has ever
risen nearer to the grandeur of the
ideal than Handel did, and he was
never more sublime than in the Mes
siah. The impression which it leaves
is profound and> living, ennobling and
eKalting.
The Choral Society has been prepar-
ing the work with great conseienti-
BUSINESS and is confident that the peo-
pie of this city will avail themselves
of the rare opportunity to hear this
great musical performance. The Choir
us will be assisted by the full orches-
ira and solo-quartette of worlds

DEL great Oratorio The Messiah, =
will be performed.
1t was on Tuesday, April 18th, 1742,
the Messiah was heard for the irst
time in Dublin, Ireland. The best
judges pronounced it to be the most
finished composition of music ever
written. History has endorsed this
judgment. Of this composition more
copies have been printed than Of any
other musical work by any other mas
ter, in any country OF the world. It
has reached the almost fabulous mum
Der of forty-fve editions. Very few
literary works of whatever nature can
boast of an equal success, and yet
there are two or three thousand read
ers of books against one who can read
a musical score.
The great Beethoven was on the
point of death when one of his friends
sent him as present forty volumes by
Handel. He ordered them brought in
to his chamber, gazed upon them with
q terminated eye and then pointing
to them with his finger, he pronounced
these words: "There is the Truth
Handel's Messiah, both his form

In the circuit court on Thursday the
attorneys for the Kenosha Home Tele-

brought against the company by Attor-

the motion will result in the hearing

THE SUNNY SOUTH.

IT is a paradox, but it must be said,
one can get away from the cold more
easily than one can get away from it's
|discomforts. February and March in
Georgia have about the temperature of
april and May in Wisconsin,; and to
pass from February to April by a
journey of twentyfour hours is be-
Witching to contemplate. And so it
would prove in fact could we bring
with us our houses with their heat
ing arrangements. But the houses in
the south are not made to keep out
the cold, and there are no effective
heating arrangements. Houses are
bui and kept on the plan of the
open-air school. No one ever thinks
of shutting door when he goes out
or when he comes in, and windows are
quite as apt to be open as closed at
any time-exeept at night. The feel
ing prevails that might air. is bad
and to be excluded. Under these con-
ditions the thermometer will stand dur
ing the day about the same inside as
outside; and temperature of fifty de-
grees gives greatly more discomfort
to the sitter than zero weather does
at home.
For the traveller this applies of
course only to the public rooms Of
hotel or boarding house; in his own
room he can by constant vigilance
have fire burning and keep indoors
and windows closed. But, depend up
on it, if you go out for an hour you
will find everything wide open on
your return.

Tt is the land of cotton, and the

AGRICULTURAL products involve so much

to baling the labor is incessant an6
covers a full year or even more. Ma
chinery enters so little into the work
that the large producer has little if
any advantage over the small produc-
or. The poorest man can make few
bales and make them as cheaply as
the capitalist. The exploitation of
the toiler begins after the stuff gets

One of the drawbacks to winning
prizes in the Red Cross seal contests,
in which all of the schools of the city
take a great interest, is. the difficulty
in disposing of them so that no bad
feeling will be engendered in any Of
the schools. The board of eduea Jon has
solved tie problem Of dlsposing of the
vacuum cleaning system won by the
schools by ordering it placed n the
Central building. More of the children
of the schools will eventually receive
the benefits of the use of the system
in that school chan in any of the grade
buildings and the board decided on the
principle Of the greatest good to the
greatest number.

IL ID Interesting TO nOBe UnaC pneu-
monia again leads in the list of causes
of death, there being ZIG more deaths
from pneumonia than from all forms
of tuberculosis. The death rate for
tuberculosis per 100000 population for
1908 was 1925; for 1909, 1929; for
1910, 1926, and for 1911, 1922. This
does not show any material decrease
in the number of deaths from tubercu-
losis, but it is proof that the disease
is not increasing in prevalence, and
it may be expected that after those
who now have the disease are cured
or death results there will be a ma
terial decline in the number Of deaths
reported from tuberculosis. The re-
port says:
Five thousand, two hundred and
sixty, or 1913 per cent. of the total
deaths reported were among persons
under / year of age. It is among peo-
pie, of this age grouping that the
greatest saving Of human life will re-
suit from apply. the principles of sani-
tation and hygiene, since a large per
cent. of the deaths among young chill
dren result from i,nproper feeding and
lack of knowledge regarding the
proper care of infants -
Classifying the infections and con-
tagious diseases ard violence as a pre-
ventable cause, it is shown that 9,447
deaths in 1911, or 34.5 per cent. of the
total, could have been prevented. Ii
each life is valued according to the
American table at $1,000, the economic
loss to the state from these easily
preventable diseases amounts to $l6,-
059,900 annually, or sum which
would build and equip two capitol
buildings, such as is now being con-
structed, each year. The report adds:
This great drain on the resources
of the state is permitted to go on
without any concern on the part Of a
majority of the citizens, and unfortu-
nately in many instances, measures
designed to prevent and control dis
ease outbreaks are violently opposed. !"
Important causes Of death with the
number of deaths from each disease
during 1911 were as follows: Pulmonary
tuberculosis, zoos; other tuberculosis
407; typhoid fever, 299; diphtheria, 292;
scarlet fever, 1877; measles, 1854, whoop-
ing cough, 165; pneumonia, 2,62s:. disr-
rhoea, $50; meningitis, 400; influenza,
159; puerperal septicemia, 100; cancer,
1,544; violence, 1862; still-births, 1892.
Among the deaths from violence, the
following causes with the number from
such cause are important: Suicide, 2S9;
railroad accidents, ESQ; accidental
drowning, 24o; gunshot wounds, 95; ac-
accidental burns and scalds, 90; homi-
cides, 35; street car accidents, 81; au-
tomobile accidents, %; lightning, II;
sunstroke, %; cyclones and tornadoes,
6.
Twenty-eight deaths were recorded
from infantile paralysis, two from
smallpox, one from hydrophobia, one
from trichinosis, four from pellagra,
and two from lead poisoning.
The deaths from infantile paralysis
for 1911 we're distributed by counties
as follows: Barron, i; Clark, 2; Chip
