It Should Have a Place In the Educa-

It Should Have a Place In the Educa-
 :s tion of Every Child.
 We shall make no real progress in music in this country, says Bruno Huhn, until we come to consider training in the rudiments of music as all essential point in the education of our children.
 Too often parents excuse their re- missness on the ground that their chil- dren show no spontaneous desire to study music. Because a child shows no such desire to study reading, writ ing and arithmetic do we for that rea- son permit him to neglect totally these subjects? No normal child desires to study any subject. and failure on the part of child to crave musical edu- cation should not be permitted to ex- empt him from. such training.
 In my opinion the average child should begin to study music at the age of eight, or nine and for at least two years devote an hour day to the exer- else of it,
 After two years the child's prefer ence and aptitude may safely be con. suited in regard to further study. But in any event the two years of study have not been wasted. for he has al ready learned something that will he of use to him all his life.
 Musical training. especially in the home, should have a place ill the edu- cation of every child. Exchange.

THE HINDU DAY OF LIGHT.
A Festival That Turns India Into a
 Sort of Fairyland.

A Festival That Turns India Into a
 Sort of Fairyland.
 There is one day i'll the year which is celebrated as a great festival by the Hindus of India. and the natives are even allowed to gamble upon this oc- casion. The great day is Devali-the Day of Light-w which is dedicated to tile Hindu god Ram in celebration of his coronation.
 From sunset onward on this day 0e native bazaars throughout India re- semble fairyland, for outside the house or shop of every true Hindu are placed numerous little lamps of very primi- tive construction. They consist merely of Small shallow, transparent bowls, about the size of saltcellar. filled with oil in which wick is foated.
 The number of lamps varies with the financial standing of the householder, tue wealthier natives displaying them by the hundred. According to the tra- dition, he who displays the greatest number of lights will become exceed ingly rich, for on this night Lakshami, the goddess of wealth, is supposed to wander abroad and enter wherever there are sufficient lights to catch her fancy.
 Another method of enticing the un- suspecting goddess consists of placing in, a bowl filled with milk and rice cluster of pretty flowers. The Hindu believes that to present friend with flowers is to wish him or her happi- ness; hence the offering of flowers to Lakshami-Pearson's Weekly.

WidoMad Birds.

The married life of most birds could be taken for d model by members of the human family. For instance. the staid. dignified and hOmely baldheaded eagle never mates but once and lives with his one male until he or she dies. If left widOWer even a young WiG ower-the baIdhcaded eagle never mates again. He remains alone and discOnSolate in the nest of the rocky crag or in the branches of tall pine that formed his domiciIe while his 7mAte was alive.

Thrift Maxims.

Nothing waste. nothing want.
 Thrift is an antidote against anxiety for the future.
 Thrift deals with the present day and plans for the future days.
 Thrift acquaints itself with true val ues and keeps tab on expenditures.
 Neither minute gains nor even small losses are underrated by the thrifty.
 To postpone to afternoon what should be done in the morning is thriftlessness of management.
