MELODY VS.. HARMONY.

The following paper, by Mrs. F
w. Hoss, containing a descriptiv,
; Interpretation of Nevin's Rosary,
was read before the Wednesday Morn
ing Music Club:
] Melody is not a human discover!
or invention. Its antiquity, it's I'M
limited possibilities, its universal
ness, its coming from every creature
and source-from the humming BET
to the peal of thunder-leads us Il
marvel; and to wonder if the melody
of the universe is not the stream OF
scattered tones that have fallen from
the music-filled palaces of heaven, to
be picked up by the mocking-bird and
thrush; to be tumbled over tiny cat,
aracts by mountain rivulets; to be
waited through the pines by evening
winds; and from these, to be turned
into scng and harmony-by man!
When earth's void was moulded
into form, the first step was melody;
a song with words; an incompatible
song of thrilling grandeur and sweet
ness, and words conveying thoughts
beyond the human ken-the greatest
song of all, sung by the clear rolling
voice that made the inanimate to
live; the title is the stanza, the stan
"a is the song-"Let There be Light! &"
When savage man worked himself
to frenzy with his war-dance, his fell
low men beat time to his steps with
their hands: the task was hard on
the hands. Some ignorant black two
legged half-beast picked up two
stones and struck them together; it
made a note. His brother tried it;
it made another note. In killing
deer, his bowstring twanged a tone;
he paused and looked at it. In his
hut he ground the top from a gourd,
and over it stretched the hide of a
gazelle; with a joint of bamboo he
struck it. 1t twanged, rolled ard vi
brated. 1t was music! Quickly the
news spread. Around him came a
grinning colony, and soon others
were beating and rafting bamboo
sticks on a deer-skin stretched over a
gourd. 1t was grand! That morn
ing the jungle beasts paused in
at those bewitching
tones; the feathfered songsters lis
tened jealousy to their rivals. And
this was the first meeting of the
Wednesday Morning Music Club"
Step by step, music progressed
not harmony, but melody. A series
of drums was grouped together, and
tuned to a wierd scale. Some playful
boy in his pranks blew note from
the horn of a buffalo, and the wind |
was found. The thong !
that held the kettle over the fire vi
brated a tone in the wind, and the
man was given the reed tone. A fas-
tidious warrior, stringing his rosary
with leopard's teeth, reached for his
DOW, and it swept across the taut
string on which he was working; it
sang-the first violin. Thus, first
lote, then a tone, then many notes,
he spirit of music rose to melody;
md there it is today; not only in
;avage countries and uncultured ma
ions, but in the heart of civilization.
This is not a criticism, it is boast;
or when melody leaves the world, l
,ray that we may be borne away
With it!
For centuries, music was nothing

Need of Constructive Legislation.

Just before the European wal broke
out we had a million skilled mechan.
les out of work and nearly half a mil.
lion railroad men were idle, together
with nearly half a million freight cars.
The railroads were suffering from
lack of freight to carry to market, and
industry was gradually becoming
stagnant. In Louisiana two hundred
thousand acres of sugar land were
plowed up because of Democratic
changes in the tariff law. 1t is gen.
orally conceded by all save the blind
that the country was not progressing.
Attempts were made to keep courage
up by the predictions made by Secre-
taries McAdOo and Redfeld and Presi-
dent Wilson of the great trade booms
which were sOon to appear but which
failed to materialize until the outbreak
of wal on the continent.
