The Musical Gamut,

Guido, monk of Arezzo, in Tus.
cany, in 1909 A. d. was the inventor
of the gamma "ut," or gamut, and
the six notes ut" "re," mi" ia"
'sOl, ia" These syllables were
taken from the first three verses of the
hymn of St John the Baptist. ut
queant laxis." etc. Without the use of
the gamut a person could not in lit
tie time become perfect master OF
plain song. Guido says in q letter
which he wrote, 81 hope they who
come after us will not forget to pray
for us, for we make a perfect master
of singing in year or two. whereas
till now a person could scarce attain
this science, even imperfectly. In ten
years." The gamut is the first note
but oftener taken as signifying the
whole scale of music or series OF
sounds, rising or falling toward acute
ness or gravity from any given pitch
or tone.

A GENERALS BAGGAGE.

II Is No indication of the Fighting
Quality OF the Man.
1t may be laid down as a military
axiom that generals ability Is not
measured by the amount OF baggage
he takes to war
1t is said that when General Sir John
French embarked to take command of
the British forces fighting with the
French against the Germans in north.
ern France all the baggage he took was
contained in a single suit case.
When "Stonewall" Jackson started
out on campaign he took along no
personal baggage except withered car,
petbag of ancient pattern, and even
this modest receptacle was but half
6lled. Both these generals bear distin
guished regulations as successful lead
ers.
Contrariwise, when Napoleon Ill.
emperor of France, left Paris in 1870
to take command of the armies which.
be said, were going straight to Berlin
he took along forty-eight trunks abe-
sides most voluminous kitchen and
bedroom equipage. The Germans got
every scrap of it all at Sedan. His son.
the prince imperial. escaped from Sc
dan and the beleaguering Germans
with his personal effects. which filed a
special train Of five Washington

represent the interior of a home, and
here the little Christmas play was
depicted Miss Ramona Harrell
played the part of mother, and told
the beautiful Christmas story to her
children who came tripping joyously
home from their shopping. Her ex-
preston and feeling that she worked
into the lines made her part very
effective. Christmas carols were
sung by children and a solo was CIV
en- by Miss Helen Dickerson, entitled
Holy Night" Brownies, fairies,
ETC., represented by children, sang
and made merry.
The program of the evening was
in charge of Miss Mary Spencer,
Norma Minkler, Marguerite Brown
and Miss Madeline Silver. The
church was decorated with Christmas
greens, trees and tinsel. A large
audience was present
