PRECAUTION OF JEWS
In connection with the recent
threatened anti-Jewish outbreak in
Russia, it is we'll to recall the attitude
of Pope Sixtus V toward the Jews in
an age of almost universal religious
intolerance. Like the present pope,
Felice Peretti was of lowly origin
the son of poor gardener. He was
made pope in 1855. and his practical
reforms are strikingly suggestive of
Plus X.
The Jews were being prosecuted very
generally Nine years had elapsed
since they were banished from Cal
whist Basle, Switzerland. One of the
first acts Of Sixtus was to censure
most severely the method of the polit-
ical machine known as the Spanish in
quisition-at that time under the con-
troll of Philip H. He abolished all
statutes against the Jews. that had
been enacted in the territory under his
Jurisdiction, allowing them to enjoy
the free exercise of their religion and
to settle and trade in every city in the
papal dominion.
Civilly and politically, he placed
them on an equal footing with the rest
of his subjects-procuring for them
rights in the administration of justice,
and required for them-an unheard of
thing outside the papal dominion-only
their proportionate share of taxes.

Former President Eliot of Harvard

ORIGIN OF MUSIC NOTATION
How few of those who in this age
are devoted to music and regard it as
largely a modern accomplishment evar
give a thought to the fact that TO a
monk of the Benedictine Order they
owe the system of notation which OBJ
tains to this day.
Guido Aritino, a native OF Arezzo,
was born in the tenth century, and in
early manhood entered a Benedictine
monastery, where his remarkable genius
for musical composition was cultivated
and developed.
The old system OF learning music was
extremely crude and tedious, and re-
ouired years of patient study. Guido.
we are told undertook to simplify the
problem and evolved from his own
brain the system which, after a lapse
Of 900 years, still holds sway. His
piety is manifested in his selection of
the first syllables of a Latin hymn to
st. John as names for the notes. viz:
do. re, me. etc. 1t should also be re-
called that to the patronage OF Pope
John XVIII the world owes it that
Guidos system came into general use,
and this during it's authors lifetime.
Guido was invited to Rome, and every
facility and encoura cement given him
in perfecting it.
"The gamut," says modern writer,
"was Guido's invention, and from the
vatican resounded the first chants Of
classic melody, reduced to popular
study by the genius of the humble Ben

Of Prof. Charles Christian George son, who for fifteen years has been conducting agricultural and horticul- tural experiments in Alaska, Scott c. Bone, of the Seattle P.-I says: A native of Denmark, GA years old, he has been a citizen of the United States for four decades He supplemented the train ing in agriculture which he received in his youth on large estates in Denmark with a course iu the Michigan state college of agriculture (1877-7S) and was assistant editor of the Rural New Yorker for two years following. He then served for three years (lS8O-53) as professor of agriculture and hortic ul- ture of the Texas state agricultu ral and mechanical college; held like posi-
 tion with the Imperial college of agri- culture, Imperial university, Tokyo, Japan, for four years 1885-89l, and for seven years (1S9O.97) until he entered the government service, was professor of agriculture in the Kansas state agri- cultural college. He is widely recog- nized as an authority on agriculture. While holding the Kansas professor ship, the United States department of agriculture sent Dr. Georgeson to Denmark to make an exhaustive study of the dairy industry; and when con- gress voted an appropriation IlS98) to investigate the agricultural possibili- ties of Alaska he was designated by Secretary Wilson to conduct the ex- periments. Originally Sl5,0O0 was ex- pended annually in such work; now a yearly appropriation of about S3O,OO0is made. It is money well spent.

A Ketchikan correspondent of the Seattle P.-I. writes the following re- markable story: Mrs. May Jaspers, of this place, who celebrated her 97th birthday July 24, has surprised her friends by growing new head of hair. For fifty years Mrs. Jasper's hair has been as white as snow. About year ago it began to come out, and in little while she was bald. Now the new hair, thick, black and curly, is coming in and it promises to be a luxuriant growth. About twenty years ago Mrs. Jaspers lost her last tooth. Since then she has worn false teeth Now, with the growing of the new hair, she is cut ting new teeth. Four front teeth have already appeared and she is now cut ting two molars. Mrs. Jaspers is the widow of former mayor of Ketchikan and is in excellent health.
