the subject Of a paper prepared by Mrs

son. This was much enjoyed by those
present and we quote the last para
graph:
Military music is fuif OF piercing
notes which set the corpucles OF blood
dancing. But military music is not
the music of war. The music of war
is the groans of the wounded and dy-
ing men and the sobs OF the broken
hearted women. Military music is
one of the embroidered wells thrown
over the face of war to make boys
think that war is glorious"
The history of the national airs of
different countries were given and a
number of these were played on the
piano and sung.

been the leading soprano in the First

er Thomas Hall is venal or not. 1t
is evident from what has t%ranspired
during the last few weeks that a
yigilant eye must be kept upon this
Office if the public is to get a square
deal.
His action in reference to the i'm.
migration petitions was reprehensible
in the extreme. The letting of $40
of state printing without bids lays
Mr.. Hall open to a more ugly charge.

changed his tactics. I.a.

AS a result of combining the four

correctly by just 50 per cent of eighth

below these would indicate variations
from the normal in spelling.
