~ S far as history and tradition
 take us into the early ages
 when man began to strive with I his fellow man in blood combat we And mention of music as its accom- paniment. In the Fourth Book of Moses it is written:
 "And God spake to Moses, Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them. And thou shalt use them for the calling of the congregation and for the journeying of the camps. And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and when 70 go to war in your own land against the enemy that expresses you. then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets.'"
 Also during the long war of the Ptolemies trumpets were utilized to make the marches easier for the men and to arouse patriotism in an attack on the enemy. From the time of the primitive trumpet to the brass band of today there has never been period when some form of instrumental mu- sic has not been called upon to rouse the enthusiasm of the soldier and to nut heart into the discouraged disciple of Mars.
 Military Music In The Early Days.
 That instruments of music were em- ployed by various nations of antiquity and military operations there is abundant evidence in the Bible and in histosy generally. The sDartans used

 it in their wars with the Messenians and the Romans also long before the time of Julius Caesar. The military music of past ages, as far as can be learned, was often below the stage of progress which the art of war had at tained in other branches and not until the advent of the brass band did the war music come into it's own. The epoch in the history of military music was the adoption of wooden instru- ments with keys. This enabled melo- dies to be played long before brass instruments could do more than sound their "open" notes. The savage of to- day beats his tom-t tom and relies upon. it's reverberations to stir men to deeds of courage, and the civilized leader calls upon his bands to play lively airs to arouse his men to heroic acts.
 Military Marches.
 In 1888, at the Battle of Halidon Hill, according to an old English his tory, "the English beat on their tabors and the pipers piped loud and made rush at the enemy and drove them to retreat" Military marches for soldiers are believed to have originated in the Thirty Years War, between 1918 and 164S, when Germany was in the bat tlefeld of Europe. Folksongs came about at that period, being invented to inspire the troops with patriotism The bagpipe was employed at a very early period. They form an interest ing group of instruments, and at one time they were used by almost every

would never have given up. There was nothing but the hope of victory while it lasted"
 Modern Music.
 During the present war music has played it's part with the military oper- ations of every nation. The German bands are everywhere with the regi- ments and "The Watch on the Rhine" can be heard through the weird sounds of battle. This anthem became popular during the Franco -Prussian war. Many times it's dignified rhythm has so aroused the enthusiasm of the German soldiers that they have pressed on and on until trench after trench of the Allies have been taken. Whenever there is a Hull in the fighting the bands play and the men sing Ger man folk songs, but, it "The Watch on the Rhine" that stirs their souls to heroic deeds.
 The Allies have number of very excellent bands to cheer their men. Among them the Royal Artillery band, formed in 1762. Many persons who have attained high rank in the musical world began their career with this organization
 The cavalry bands are different from those of the infantry Their ket- tie drums, like those of the orchestra, are tuned to definite notes. They are draped in beautifully worked drum banners on which are often inscribed the regimental honors. The earliest date at which drums were carried on horseback was in 1542. when Henry the Eighth sent to Vienna for kettle drums that could be played on horse back. and ever since that time the British cavalry bands have been equipped with these Instruments.

that are charged against him in the civil registers.
 An Estimable Worker In A Unique
 Field.
 Such man is the human ferret and his reputation has spread abroad. It IS true that President Cleveland in- Vlted him to go to Washington to rid the White House of it's unwelcome rodents; but he refused. The sewers of Paris supply him with sufficient la bors and he did not like to venture so far from home.
 Nightly, he descends into under ground Paris and after a few hours work brings forth twenty or thirty rats in the little wire cage which he always carries with him on these expeditions Rats, they are indeed, and worthy of the name; great fellows that are twenty-five to twenty eight centimet- CTS long, not including their tails which seldom measure less than twen- ty centimeters <.
 "When he gives himself up to his nocturnal sport-for such he deems it-he wears a pair of solid boots which draw up above his knees to pro- tect him from the infectious mud of the tunnels, and carries a lantern, 8 heavy sack. a pick and small wire cage. With this equipment he drives in his little cart to the man-hole in the pavement which gives an entrance to the section which he has selected for his hunt. Seizing the pick he lifts up the plaque which covers the open ing into the sewer and in an instant he lets himself down. Swung over his shoulder is the little wire cage in which he will imprison his victims. He is ready to begin operations. ~
 The Historic Sewers Of Paris.
 First however. let us have word about the ancient sewers of the French capital. Underneath Paris with it's famed shops, cafes, art gal leries, churches and parks lies another Paris-a Paris of sewers, which has it's streets, its crossings, it's squares

Music Born Of War. Today the Allies go bravely into thei face of death to the rhythmic jingle ofF Its a Long, Long Way to Tipperary' q which, contrary to the general opinionlr was not composed for this war butd was sung in London music halls beN. fore the war began. Just why 1t wasf accepted as war song has never been explained God Save the King was. first sung in 1739, and became popuH lar during the Scotch rebellion irih 1S45. The Scotch still cling to theiib bagpipe rendition of Blue Bonneta Over the Border"-an air which stiraI the Scotchman's soul. r
 War brings out the patriotism of thd poet and national anthems are borrY during the ebb and flow of the fortuna of battle, the rally and rush attacAr and the retreat, and in the anforced- waiting there are developed patriotidr songs which become a part of thd Nations life. Take for instance oui own r-Spangled Banner" aI apostrophe to, the flag composed by Key while he was held a prisoner and now sung by the millions of our grealt Republic.
 The "Marsellaise," which is heard on the far flung battle lines in Franco and Belgium, was composed by $

He Saved More Than His Dog.

An Interesting war story that is current
in England is told by the New York Sun
The Caucasian, an English merchantmen,
was chased by German submarine.
The steering gear OF the vessel was de-
stroyed by shot from he ubna1ne,
and she had to stop Capt ala Robinson,
her skipper, gave little Pomeranian dog
seven months old, to his second officer
to put into the boat, but in passing Inc
dog down, one OF the men let it TALL into
the water.
When the captain entered tie boat he
saw the dog swimming toward the sub
marine. Without hesitation, he Jumped
overheard and swan almost quarter oil
a mile before he could overtake his little
net. On reaching him, he placed him on
his shoulders, and as the submarine had
by this time drawn up to him, he laid
hold of her in order TO regain his breath.
The commander OF the submarine, in
broken English, said TO him, 81 was about
to blow up your ship because you didn'l
stop, but will not do so for your brave
act in saving the little dog "
The captain swan back 10 the boat with
the dog resting on his shoulder. FortWo
daysfe feared that, owing to theexpoSure,
the little dog would not recover; but ii
did get well at last.
The National Canine Defense League
has awarded a medal TO Captain Robinson
for his humane action.
