MUSIC's UNIQUE QUALITY.
Wherein It Differs From scuIptur,

Wherein 1t Differs From Sculpture
 Poetry and Painting.
 Music finds it's perfection in itself without relation to other objects. It is what it is ill itself alone. It is non- defnitive; it does not use symbols of something else: it cannot be translate into other terms.
 The poet seeks always a. complete union of the thing said and the method of saying it. Flaubert seeks patiently and consistently for the one word which shall not only be the exact sym hol of his thought, but which shall fit his euphony.
 The painter so draws his objects, so distributes his colors and so arranges his composition as to make of them plastic mediums for the expression of his thought. and the greatness of his picture depends first of all and inevi- tably on his power of fusing his sub jects with his technique.
 Tn sculpture precisely the same pro- cess takes place. Neither of these arts actually copies nature. Each Gar ranges" it for it's own purpose
 In music this much sought union of matter and manner is complete. The thing said and the method of saying 1t are one and indivisible. It is. as patcr says, 'the ideal of all art whatever precisely because in music if is inn possible to distinguish the form from the substance or matter the subject from the expression ''-Atlantic

How to Ra Hannx,

There are two ways of being happy. We may either diminish our wants or augment our means. Either will do. The result is the same, and 1t is for. each man to decide for himself and do that which happens to be the easier. If you are idle or sick or poor, however hard it may be to diminish your wants, 1t will ba harder to augment your means If you are active and prosper ous or young or in good health it may be easier for you to augment your means than to diminish your wants. But if you are wise you will do both at the same time, young or old, rich or poor, sick or well, and if you are very wise you will do both in such way as to augment the general happiness of society-Benjamin Franklin.

CURIOUS BRIDGES.
One Tn Switzerland That Is Famed For
 It's Roof Paintings.

One Tn Switzerland That Is Famed Fo,
 It's Roof Paintings.
 Probably no town in the world has such strange bridges as Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir, in India. The city is built on the banks of the river Jhe- lum, which is crossed by many wooden bridges lined with old and dilapidated shops and houses with balconies and lattice windows. Some of these are very insecure and look as if they might at any time fall into the river beneath.
 Timber has always been largely used for building bridges, and the earliest one of this kind on record is that which Julius Caesar made across the Rhine and which he describes in his "Com- mentaries"
 The roofed Kapellbrucke at Lu- crosses the river Reuss diagonally and has 112 triangular paintings beneath the roof, recording the heroic deeds of old Switzers and the sufferings of their patron saints. In the midst of the Ka- pellbrucke stands an octagonal tower, which formed part of the Notifications of the town in the thirteenth century The bridge was built in 1333
 One. of the curious and ancient bridges in Europe is that at Croyland, in Lin colnshire. England, which is supposed to date from the ninth century. No road now passes oven and no water under it. It consists of three pointed arches, which meet in the center, and the ascent is so steep that only foot passengers can go over it. Upon the bridge is seated figure in stone of rebel Saxon king.-Pearson's.

The Blow on the Jaw.

A man struck with any degree of force upon the mental area of the jaw, although he may be in perfect physical condition, instantly collapses and falls to the ground, says a medical journal. The attitude assumed in recovery, which may be instantaneous or delayed some minutes, is most characteristic. He squirms about, raises his head and rolls his eyes in an attempt to locate himself. He tries to get on his side and elbow; he endeavors to rise upon his hands and knees. If he regains his feet he staggers like drunken man. The blow is practically never fatal; the hearts action is never unduly acceler-

Bluffs Sometimes Win.

The Chinese tell story about q tiger that was led by a monkey to a held where a fat mule was grazing. The tiger, who had never seen mule before. licked his chops. But the mule looked up languidly at the monkey and said:
 Friend monkey, heretofore you have always brought me two tigers. How Is 1t you bring me only one today?"
 The bluff was so excellent that the tiger made off as fast as he could %.

Training School Will
Open September Fifth

All departments Of the training
school at the Normal school here, ex-
cept the kindergarten, will open their
doors for the fall term on Tuesday
morning, Sept. 5. Announcement to
this effect was made at the Normal
school this morning in response to
numerous suggestions made on the
part Of parents that the long vacation
period be shortened.
This arrangement will allow pupils
of the training school to begin their
work some weeks before the opening
of the Normal school on Sept. rs. All
critic teachers have responded to the
suggestion and will be ready to begin
work on the earlier date
| During the last few weeks the train
ing school building among the others
has been thoroughly renovated and
| freshened in readiness for the fall
term. During the year work will be
offered in all special subjects as usual.
These will include domestic science,
manuel training, playground activities,
music and drawing, etc. There will
be classes to accommodate all groups
|.of pupils. The group system will be
| in vogue again whereby students may
be promoted as soon as their progress
and preparation warrants promotion,
regardless of the class as a whole.
On the other hand the sufficient
number of teachers available in the
training school makes it possible to
group students for special drill in sub
jects in which they may be weak, or
to give individual instruction as the
case may demand.
There will be but one change in the
critic force of the training school this
year. Miss Edna Hackett will sue
coed Miss Carrie Dean as assistant
critic in the sixth and seventh grades.
Miss Hackett is former graduate Of
the advanced course of the Normal
school and during the past year has
been assistant librarian. ...

SCARCITY OF FARM HELP
BECOMING ACUTE HERE

The problem Of the farmers in this
section, is to secure enough help to
complete their threshing and other
farm work. Numerous farmers have
visited this city in the last few days
seeking help and Offering to pay So
per day, which is the going wages,
and are unable to get men. It is true
the building and street and road work
is taking more men than usual, but
the scarcity is hard to account for at
that. Usually at this time Of the year
the state Is overrun with men. Per.
haps the attitude taken by North Da.
kota cities in regard to transients has
kept them from coming this way, II
the farmers are compelled to do the
work alone they will have the consola-
ton Of saving what they would have
given up for help. s,

charming daughters, daughter-in-
law, and two female relatives some
times invites me to tea.
"As l speak French fluently l won
the esteem and confidence of the
ladies. They took charge of my linn
tied wardrobe and mended my shirts,
underclothing and socks. To show my
self grateful ! procured few French
books from Germany for them. AZ
ter q while l found out they were
sadly missing the fashion journals
which they had received regularly '-
fore the war.
"As was not able to get French
papers OF this kind. ] wrote home for
q number Of copies OF German ladies'
magazines. When the journals ar
rived my hostess ran through them ex-
citedly, but they found everything
'horrid' Two or three weeks later
the wife and the daughters of the
Mayor asked me for a passport to
the nearest large city behind our
front They explained that they hac
decided to have few costumes made
after the German patterns furnished
by me, az some Of them really were
