her companion with due gravity. The

has puzzled scientists. II seemed too
bad to deprive the place of seashore

the matter in hand, filled the bags
with salt and thereby has impaired

Far from rebuking him for being
fresh" she is now telling her friends
of having seen the government salt

Lafcadio Hearn held that the term
Negro melodies" is a misnomer lie
traced all Negro songs back to Eng
lish, Spanish and particularly French
sources. The old ballads Of these peo-
pie which were In vogue at the time
OF settling In America we're adapted,
transformed. Africanized by the Negro
slaves, and preserved in their new
form long after the originals were for
gotten.
Doubtless Hearn's theory is correct
in essentials, but Il has one defect. II
does not give full credit to the Negro
element In these tunes as they exist
now.
II tho Negroes had not been a mu-
sical race. they never would have
taken over and finally made their own
the music of their masters. The In
dams, a far more stiff-necked and in
dependent race than the Africans,
have no such group of songs to their
credit, not even where they form an
overwhelming majority of the popu-
lation. Mexican bands do not play
Aztec music. and 1t is not of record
that Peruvian audiences listen to
Quichua variations on Spanish airs.

DOUBTS SCREEN FAME'S VALUE.
Pastor Says Getting Into Movies Is
Not Always Desirable.

To get on the screen of the movies
is not necessarily desirable" said Rev.
J. o. Knott. pastor of Capitol Heights
Congregational Church, in his sermon
Sunday morning. while preaching on the
subject, "A City Set on a Hill Cannot Be
HID
Hilltop prominence" he said, may
reveal shameful weakness as well as
strength and beauty. To seek the lime
light for the sake of being in the lime
light is to court disaster. The desire
to do things to be seen of men is a OLD
as the world but the sham of II has been
exposed by prophets of all ages. To
seek the hilltop that We may be seen
is one thing: to be sat on a hill is quite
another. Christ tells us that hilltop
lives cannot be hid. though dungeons
cover them. Bunyan. in Bedford Jail,
and Paul in Roman prisons were not
hidden
THE life that God would use will dc
its God-appointed work. while mere
prominence will have its reward Of no.
toriety and be as quickly forgotten. But
the cost of hilltop living is self-con-
sumption. As light shines at expense
of the substance it burns. so the life
which God sets on a hill must live for
him. Self-forgetfulness and self-obliter-
alton must characterize lives that live
on Gods hill-tops and are numbered
among the immortals."
