WORK SET TO MUSIC.

A man is working in neighboring
garden. To an ordinary observer he
has long, hard day ahead of him.
The weeds are thick, the ground is
hard. He has only the common tools.
But as the gardener works, he sings
that song of hope and cheer, "Pa!ms
of Victory" The click of the hoe
keeps time with the words of the song
the blade glints it's way gaily
among the weeds. The spade. warm,
ing to the music. cleaves the hard
ground easily. The busy minutes go
by without fatigue.
It may not always be palms of
Victory" but glad, lively song it in
variably is, and he sings it with a
bold enthusiasm, as though he ex-
pected it to ease the work-as though
it might turn the task into pleasure:
And it does! Under the magic OF
a merry song the caked earth will
yield more readily to the hoe and
spade, so that what are often called
tiresome tasks become instead pleas
ant activities.
The work in the home goes smooth

er for song. The thousand and one
things which are clamoring to be done
at once, are more easily adjusted and
finished under the influence of a
tinkling, soothing melody. The fire
crackles to the tune. The sewing-ma-
chine whirrs to the same happy key.
Even the heated discussions of the
children end in taking up mothers
song, and-carrying it along-trou-
bles are forgotten.
The mind is perplexed. The heart
is beating to minor key. The way
is little hard just now. Things are
going wrong. The outlook is not just
what we would like. We are fearful
lest the Something worse" may hap
pen.
A song may not set everything
right, but it relieves the tension. 1t
steadies the nerves. 1t rounds off the
sharp edge of disappointment or fail
ure. We are Gained and strengthened
for forward step. The way seems
clearer and the path straighter ahead
of us.
Work, however difficult, is not
drudgery to the man who sings. He
who can set drudgery to music has
performed a great service. He has
transformed burden into pleasure
plainness into beauty, tears into
smiles.-People's Home Journal.

GREAT DISTRESS
IN NORWAY AS
result OF WAR
Maintenance Of Neutrality
Guard Works Hardships
on the People.

correspondence of the Associated Pressl
Christiania. Norway, May 30.-The
so-called neutrality guard which has
been maintained by Norway since
the outbreak of the war has worked
great hardships on the families of
many Of the soldiers and sailors who
have been compelled to serve the col
ors. Not only have numerous men
lost their positions in civil and pub
lie life owing to their prolonged
absence on military duty but in
many cases their families have been
obliged to appeal to the county poor
board for aid Or go to the poor house
because of the small pay received by
"a private Or bluejacket
AS Norway has compulsory service
for all able-bodied men, every male
over eighteen years Of age is on the
rolls of the army Or navy and even
if he has completed the peace service
fixed by the law he can, in case Of
Emergency, be called under arms for
any length of time. If he does not re-
spond to the call he will be tried
My courtmartial and heavily punished.
Since the beginning Of the war
many of these conscripts, especially
in the navy and in the garrisons,
have served month after month, no
matter whether married or single as
there have not been enough men to
relieve them after only. short Ser
vice. This means that many of them
are losing their positions as their
employers cannot keep their places
open for an indefinite length of time
during their military service. Even
men employed in the governments
civil service have suffered the same
waite employer, cannot keep the places
vacant until the expiration Of the
military duty period.
A soldier during his service is paid
a very small amount-ln peace times
ten cents a day, and on war q .ty,
such as the neutrality guard is con-
-sidered, forty cents a day. This
amount is too small to support the
family at home. The result is that
many soldiers have had to allow their
debts to pile up with small prospects
of being able to pay them off when
the military service is over, or ap-
ply to the county poor board to sup
port their families. and in numerous
cases families have been sent to the
poor house.
According to the Norwegian law
person who is supported by the coun-
ty or who lives in the poor house
loses his rights as citizen. includ-
ing the privilege of voting. One
man who was called into military
service and who refused to respond
because he knew that if he did so IT
meant that his family must go to the
poor house, was tried by court mar
trial and sentenced to serve nine
months imprisonment and to have MS
rights as citizen forfeited. A
similar case is now before the court.
The conservative press has been
criticizing the government bitterly
for this condition of affairs and has
requested the government and the
legislature now in session to make
an appropriation sufficient to give the
married soldiers an addition to their
regular pay large enough to support
their families.

A weeks voyage round Scotland and
