MUSIC IN ANCIENT TIMES
stringed Instruments Found in Egypt.
Ian Remains Seem to Be Of .Ad.
vanced Form for Those Days.

The most ancient representations
OF stringed musical instruments are
found among the Egyptian remains.
But these pictures and such instru-
ments as have been discovered-some
OF them extraordinarily we'll pre-
served-are all of a rather advanced
form for those archaic days.
! Nothing is shown of the long evo-
luton from the ancient fiddling To-
Gust known to Moses and the Israel
ties to the graceful harps and Tyres
OF the Egypt which we have come to
know through tradition and illustra-
ton or how old and venerated is this
tradition. For in one of the tombs
at Gyseh, date 1875 B. c., there is
pictured an Egyptian Tyre, and in
the day Of the first Pharaoh, 3S92 B.
c., the musical scale of the country
consisted of seven notes. But of the
intervening stages through which the
activities of the locusts passed. or
during which the decaying tortoise
shell with its clinging dead men,
branes continued TO vibrate to the
capricious winds, there is no record.
The very walls of Thebes are said
TO have been builded to the thrilling
inspiration of the Tyre. For the build
ers when too exhausted to sing were
lncited toward renewed efforts by
companies of musicians playing on
harps and other musical instru-
ments. Curious that the instruments
themselves were of exceeding beauty
and richly ornamented, while the
players thereon were held in the low

THE TEST THAT TELLS

RAILROADS WILL BE BUSY
TRANSPORTING TROOPS

Reports from all sources indicate
an augmented car supply. The credit
for this is, not altogether due the
railroads the shippers are doing
their part in handling equipment
promptly and in loading it to full ca
pacity. With the people behind them
the railroads are able to show results
never before obtained.
The railroads must within the next
80 days move 6S7, 900 men OF the reg
ular army and 100000 men of the
National Guard to their various
training camps. Some idea of this
task may be had when it is under
stood that to move merely one field
army of $4,000 men, 6,229 cars made
up into 366 trains with 366 locomo-
tives and train crews, are required.
While these troops are being moved
the transportation of commercial
freight, war supplies and passengers
must be performed.
At Louisville cantonment alone the
railroads have delivered from June
Goth to August 23rd, lat cars OF
lumber and 512 cars miscellaneous
freight, total of 1889. This 2,475
acres of farm lands have within some
thing over two months been trans
formed into city of comfortable
buildings, sewerage, electric lights
telephone exchanges and splendid
roads that will shortly house 4l,50o
soldiers.

and white and sweet it is, there may
be disease or deformity lurking under
this beauty, and this is an evil of
which you should be forewarned.
Up to date mothers throughout Ken
lucky are not only entering this con-
test to find out about their babies, but
are coming back year by year to mark
the progress this knowledge has given
them and the improvement it has made
In their children.
The contest this year, which is un
der the supervision Of Mrs. John L.
Woodbury., will be marked by q num-
Der of innovations, among which will
be an elaborate display of knitted
goods for babies and the giving away
of patterns for these articles to the
mothers desiring them.
Another attractive feature will be
the spectacular parade which will final
the baby contest This parade will be
arranged as a beautiful spectacle In
the HippOdrome pavilion and will show
every little tot entered In the contest
to the greatest advantage.

test is free and is open to babies be-
tween twelve and thirty-six months

MANS DUTY IS TO KEEP FIT.

The greatest problem you will have
to solve will be that of making your
body do the work required. Some men
have to leave the training camps be-
cause they are not in the proper phys
ical condition to go on with the work,
says the Plattsburg Manual.
If you have not pair of sensible
marching shoes (tan hightops, no
hooks on them) get a pair. These
shoes should be considerably larger
than a pair of Office shoes.
Walk to and from your business.
Take every opportunity to get out in
the country where the air is pure.
Fill your lungs full. Get into the
habit of taking deep breaths now and
then Don't make this a task, but
surround is with pleasantries. Get
some delightful companion to walk
with you. Walk vigorously. Let
down on your smoking. Better to
leave it alone for a while. You will
enjoy the air. Deep breathing seems
to be more natural.
Make it work for your country.
View it in that light. If you are not
going to be called upon to undergo
cruel hardships and physical strain OF
some campaigns, your son will be and
you can be of great help to him by
being fit yourself.
