Music OF the Chinese.

Chinese music does not entirely lack
admirers among occidentals There
are, it appears. trained musicians of
our own kind who seriously profess
uncertainty whether the Chinese have
not really advanced beyond us in mu-
sic.
One authority has pointed out that
the Chinese were the first in the his
tory of music to develop system Of
octayes, a circle of fifths and various
other harmonical technics, and these
in the days when our ancestors had
not even evolved Nhe simplest forms,
of melody. While. no one has, appar-
emily, contended that we shall finally
arrive at an understanding of and a
liking for something that shall ap-
.proach the Chinese harmonious dis,
cords; there are not wanting those
who claim to have discovered among
the musicians and lovers Of music a
steadily increasing sensitiyeness to
harmonies the existence Of which was
formerly unknown.

NoRWAY's PERIOD or GLORY
Decide Of Norsemen In Tenth and
Eleventh Centuries Marked Flow
erin1 Time Of Nation.

One OF the features of the celebra-
ton of Norway's centennial was stone
carved with old runic characters. 1t
was found in Nova Scotia more than
a century ago. but for a long time
no one could read the roughly carved
runes. This was done at last by an
American scholar, who found that the
inscription was cut by Morse ex-
ploring party that left Greenland In
the summer Of 1907 A. D., bound for
the coast OF New England. They
landed in Nova Scotia ON their way,
and left this record OF their trip.
What glimpse this gives us of the
daring spirit of those old pioneers of
the sea!
The world has never seen Drawer
breed of sailors than the Norsemen
of the tenth and eleventh centuries.
They pushed their voyages of plumber
and discovery from the rocks of New
England to the delta Of the Nile. They
seated their chieftains on half the
thrones OF Europe They harried ev-
cry civilized coast within reach, and
barbaric sforelands they settled, or,
at least, explored There is even some
ground for believing that party Of
Swedes and Norwegians penetrated as
far inland as Minnesota. doubtless by
way of the great lakes.
It was the Towering time OF ma
ton, expressed in terms of daring and
adventure, rather than in art, litera-
ture or civilization; but while 1t lasted
it was one of the wonder epochs of the
world.

FEEL LOSS OF THE FORESTS
Enormous Amount Of Soil Carried
Away by the Rivers Is Distinct
Damage to Agriculture.

When the soil Is carried away from
one place 1t goes to another, it is not
dissolved and lost The United States
geological survey has made an esti-
mate OF the amount Of silt carried by
q number of rivers in the country,
and, with the exception of the Missis-
sippi and the Missouri, the Tennessee
river stands at the head of the list,
the estimate being 100000 tons per
annum.
Whenever the water in the river
Is turbid it Is made so by contribu-
lions from the soil adjacent to the
river and It's tributaries. So every
time the river waters are muddy they
are made so by soil erosion. 1t is
hardly necessary to discuss these
things In their relations to agrieul-
ture. It is easily seen that the enor.
nous amount of soil that is carried
into the streams into the oceans and
the gulf, Is that much done for the
impoverishment of the land.
As the forests in our hill country
have been denuded, erosion has grown
worse. The farmers of this East Ten
nessee section would have been vastly
better of today than they are, had
they left the timber standing ON tho
hills. The timber was wasted, and
with 1t removed, the soils have been
wasted to the extent that what is
left is unproductive.-Knoxpille Jour

How to Keep Young.


Beauty and youth come and go with
health. The bad habits and false con-
ditions which destroy the latter rem
der the former impossible.
Youthfulness of form and feature
depend upon youthfulness Of. feelings.
II you would retain youthful looks you
must do nothing that will make you
feel old.
Here Is the great secret of youth:
To lead a normal life; to enjoy living
and doing; to keep on thinking young
thoughts and doing young. things
exercise. dancing and singing and,
above all, do not utter the expression,
getting on in years" That very
thought is aging.
Keep happy by making others happy
around you. YoR are never too old to
join in all fun and folly. Be Of the
world. not just hanging on the edge
of it. Keep interested in the things
Of the timex
No one ever gets younger by md
Ing fault. Be an optlmist in all
things.

About Paprika.

Now that paprika Is being SO much
used 1t Is apropos to pass on hint
given by a man who Is connoisseur.
He says paprika should be spread out
on paper and left in the sun for
three days. which brings out Its true
flavor, making 1t far more appetizing.
Nearly all cooks are now using it in
French dressing. A bit sprinkled on
cream cheese is delicious in brown
bread sandwiches; and what could be
nicer than mealy baked potato, that
has been broken open enough to put
inside a big lump of butter and a gen.
erous sprinkling of paprika, all SO
quickly done that 1t is-must be-

Miss Jane Adams, whose recent
visit to Atlanta aroused so much gem

woman with message more than
well worth listening to.

well known enthusiasm in behalf Of
any person or thing he admires, he
probably is not far from right.
The matter of woman suffrage is in
its infancy IN Georgia--indeed, no
here in the<SOuth is there at pres
ent any great amount of rampant en-
thusiasm for this cause. And yet there
is very much more enthusiasm than
there was few years bacle-for to-
fday nobody laughs at woman suffrage,
however much one may dissent from
the idea, and still the day is not far
gone when the entire subject was
treated as joke in Dixie, and not a
very good joke, at that
There are to-day hundreds of the
best and most intelligent women in
Georgia who are ardent advocates Of
woman suffrage They are hesitat-
ing less and less to come out into the
open and admit frankly a leaning in
that direction The matter of votes
for women" addresses itself straight
to the intelligence and mature con-
sideration not only of the women
themselves, but of the men. In the
ranks of the suffragists, even in the
South, may be found scores of the
most substantial and farseeing pro-
fessional and business men.

but to be parties to the wonderful

The thing that isn't generally
known and appreciated. however, is
that this wonderful tribute had its
inspiration in Governor Slaton, and
was more his work than anybody's.

having the dead Senator's body lie in
