method of collecting garbage in Rich

first defense, the condition OF many
streets and alleys gives the authorities
much cause for alarm

known ministers OF Richmond yester-
day-a man who long held a passionate

lccted from my yard every day. Here
it is collected but twice week. and
when the street cleaners were busy
at Camp stuart it was not collected at
all II is most inciiiciently done. and
while twice week might be sufficient
in winter, when cold weather is itself

Music.

Music as defined by the authorl-
ties is the art which employs sound
as a medium Of artistic expression
for what is not IN the province of
literature, OF sculpture, Of painting,
Of acting or Of architecture. 1t has
been said, again, that music is the
embodiment Of the inward feelings
Of which all other arts can but ex-
hibit the effect. In other words,
music IS an attempt at the express
sion OF the highest aspirations and
the deepest fears of the human soul.
After we have spoken ard written
all that is possible and chiseled our
finest forms and painted u most
beautiful pictures there remains a
feeling that Is not satisfied, and
music is the effort to satisfy that
feeling.-New York American.

In the nation they appear to have

ship with broken rudder, on the
