Music and Work.

Sir Lawrence CONNIE, London stats
tician and Archaeological, regards music
as an end to work. He related that
at the beginning Of his official career
he used to add up huge columns OF
figures for statistical purposes by the
simple process of doing the task to
Gregorian tune, and that he was al
ways correct in his totals. The Lon.
don Chronicle says that there are
probably not many brain workers Of
this order, but manual laborers have
long shared the opinion Of Adam Bede
that mems muscles move better when
their souls are making merry music.

He did not know that the offender
was the compositor, who, in setting
up the report had omitted a letter
&C." thus substituting the word "un-
hanged" for unchanged" which the
reporter had written.
