Music And AppIause.

There is music everywhere just now, carols in the street. concerts in the halls, and even the street organ is
 playing the game with hymns. But there Is a. question set in the Vest minister Gazette as to whether you should applaud when you like your music. I am assured that M Kubelilz and other distinguished performers are discouraged and fall below their level at State concerts where applause is forbidden. They cannot do the trick without the 'hand.". And yet there is the curious instance of the cathedral and the ..quires and places where they sing.
 You do not applaud (with hand
 claps) when the anthem Is finished at Westminster Abbey, and there Is nev- CT a sound of the smacked hand when
 St. Pauls has sent the music of Christ
 mas round the dome. The man of mu- sic does not clap hands, l think. He
 listens, and goes out with something
 in his soul. And personally when
 have heard music I have no wish to make the absurd noise on my hands
 only the wish to go out, very quietly, and thank God for it.
 Sir Laurence Gomn1e regards music as an aid to work. He relates that at the beginning of his official career he used to add up huge columns of fg- ures for statistical purposes by the simple process of doing the task to & Gregorian tune, and that he was always correct In his totals. There are proDa ply not many brain workers or this order; but manual laborers have long shared in the opinion of Adam Bede that ''nen's muscles move bet ter when their souls are making merry music.
 Dr. Johnson was annoyed to find in the Hebrides that the strokes of the sickle were timed by the modulations of a song in which the harvesters joined. In the days of the handlooms most weavers crooned over their work. Dairymaids used to sing on the milk ing-stooI not only to tighten their la- bors but also because the cows were held to yield better milk when cheered by tune. To this day in Toulouse where so many fine singers have grown it is a recognized custom in some trades to pay the men at a higher rate when they are not allowed to sing at their work.
 There are two ways of regarding music You may regard it as an en- tertainment, in which case you will applaud. Or you may regard 1t as a sacrament and be silent. The lat ter was the way of Sir Thomas Browne. Even that vulgar and tavern mt1 sick, he wrote, which makes one man mer- ry, another mad strikes in me deep fiji of devotion, and profound contem- pla ation of the first composer. There is something in it of divinity more than the ear discovers; It is an hier- oglyphyicaI and shadowed lesson of the whole world and creatures of God; such a melody 10 the ear, as the whole world well understood, 1t Is a sensible fit of that harmony which would afford the understanding. In brief. inte1- lectually sounds in the ears Of God-" London Chronicle

12,ooo STAMPS A MINUTE.
Marvellous Printing Machine Used by
 the Government,

tle 1oVcEflfslefts
 Millions of dollars will be saved the government by the use of newly de- vised stamp printing machine. The apparatus is scheduled te turn out a mile of postage stamps every five min utes. It was designed by Benjamin R. Stickney, says the Washington corre- spondent of the New York World. There will be a saving of 57 per cent in the production cost of stamps.
 phis new machine, which prints, gums, dries, perferates and either cuts into sheets or winds into coils 12,000 stamps in one minute, will save the government several million dollars in the cost of stamps alone in the course of few years. The bureau of engrav- ing and printing now turns out 0.00e,- 900 stamps, daily, but with the use of the new machine and because Of the increased demand 1t will be able to manufacture many more millions a day.
 l. Previously it has been necessary to wet stamp pape to get an impression from the engraved ink-covered plate. but MT. Stickney has made 1t possible to do away with the hand-Wetting process and to substitute dry printing MT Stickney's invention will revolu- tionize plate printing, which heretofore has involved much manual labor and time. New stamps can be printed perfectly from royy of paper at high speed.
 J. E. Ralph. director of the bureau, foreseeing heavy business after the passage of the postal savings and par cells post acts directed MT. Stickney to plan, if possible. a machine for pro- ducing the vast number of stamps re- quired. This machine is considered. a remarkable invention because many countries have tried unsuccessfully to get such an apparatus.
 It is believed that. with the saving in cost of stamp production and some possible enconomy by further machine development, penny postage may fol- low in time.
