eighty collections Of madrigals, ayres

between 1857 and 1880, in addition to
which vast collections Of early music
still remain in manuscript. With an
aristocracy fond Of music and accus-

Q bowling ball without STOPPING clear

Fifty per cent Of the sickness In the

81 Love You.n

Very Interesting are the phrases used
by the various people Of the world to
express 81 love you" Wherever there
are human beings declarations Of love
are made. and there are a thousand
languages in which the tender passion
may be expressed. The Chinese say
"Uo ugai nj" the Armenian expresses
his love with "Se siren as hez," the
Arab Is content with the short NE
habbek," while the Turk murmurs
"Sidi seveiorum." In India "Main
syne ka plsar KARIN" Is the declara-
ton. But the Greenlander holds the
palm for the word love. When he does
not stammer 1t has fifteen syllables and
