II 1t hadn't been intended that the
human race should enjoy music 1t
would have been left out of the uni
verse In the making. Science tells us
that nothing is lost and proves it too,
80 there must be and certainly is, a
reason why birds bubble over with
melody. brooks sing on their way, the
J~oyousness In song, and people Of all
clmes contrtve musical instruments
OF some kind to voice the feelings
words are inadequate to convey.
There are those who look upon
music as q guperfluity, q luxury, q
recreation, or wen a dissipation, but
Is 1t? TO nearly every one 1t 10 a neces-
sity, although many do not realize it.
Some are ready to declare emphatical-
~ that they are not musical. simply
because they do not understand.
Only the other day q charming
woman Of means refused to buy q
ticket for q course OF famous artist
concerts. She explained that music did
not appeal to her as strongly az many
other forms Of pleasure. and yet q few
days later whom there was q demon
stration of marching soldiers and
martial music she said with sparkling
eyes:
Some way or other I hear
music like that but I tingle with the
desire to bear arms for my country.
The thrill Of It brings home to me the
fact that the tread Of marching feet
and the shoulder-to-shoulder oneness
typtfy the spirit which we as a united
people must feel and show to main
tain our invtolable rights Of American
citizenship"
Every one who likes reading does
not enjoy the same cooks, magazines
or newspapers. Our pleasures must
touch u wi experiences to be un-
derstood and interpreted by our
answering emotions.

accomplished since the city adopted
the present plan of inspection. At
the time that the present plan was
taken up. and the tuberculin test
made necessary for all herds. one per-
son lost So cows out Of 50. In the
past year. out Of the 900 cows tested,
only 6 have been lost. Grand Forks
is the only city Of its size that insists
on such a rigid inspection. A general
discussion followed the subject and
many views Of the question were Civ
en- by the women present at the meet
ing. In concluding her address. Mrs.
Sprague mentioned hat on account Of
the increase in the overhead expenses,
the dairymen will soon, be forced to
raise their prices. il they would keep
up the present high standard.
In speaking of the incinerator, and
the work that has been accomplished
there, Mrs. Sprague mentioned that
1886 loads Of garbage had been
burned there during the past year.
Brief mention was also made Of the
work of the abbatoir. and 1t was de-
clared that the butchers Of the city
prefer to kill their cattle here, rather
than to purchase the packing house
meat, and that this institution was
paying for itself.
In concluding, Mrs. sprague said
that the three ;F.," "Fiies, Fingers
and Filth" were three very important
factors in the matter Of pure foods.
and they were things that especial
attention should be given to.
At the business session of the Sec
ton. q chairman and director for the
department was nominated, to be
elected at the next general meeting,
which Is to be held in May.
A suggestion was mede that all the
funds now in the departments should
be given W to the cause Of further
ing a comprehensive study Of the
values of the various foods by the de-
partment members.
A resolution was also passed, sug-
gestiong that the legislative commit
tee Of the department take up the
matter Of having manufactures of
canned goods. label their cans with
the date of canning, as a to
protect the housewife from getting
spoiled goods.
Besides the matter Of pure foods.
the members Of this department have
devoted their attention during the
year to such topics as Simplifying
Life in the Home" 1.-THE Mother in
the Home" Home Environment"
simplifed Dress for the school Chill
improvements" and Social Life in

Last evening the Knights Of Col

from q boys suit to where she dis
guises herself as the milk-maid to

is generally open to the public. the
dressing rooms are supplied with a

her lock sprung and her clothes were
inside. She is highly temperamental
and nervous and without counting the

through the window, severely cutting
her fingers. but this opening was not
large enough in spite Of her sacrifice,
and Prof. Armes, Of the university,
who had the keys, was hurriedly sum-
moned. Miss Scott made her change

her numbers were almost constantly

from the Pathe Weekly, and 1t seemed

After the show, an old lady came
behind the scenes and asked to meet
Miss Scott, as she had something inn
portant to tell her. It seems that she
was sitting on the top-most tier
against the trees, and when Miss
Scott sang her flute like notes in the
Forest song. with the pauses between
each cadenza. the birds in the trees
answered her. Miss Scott was more
pleased with this than anything that
happened to her. although Camille do
Arville. a famous Marian in her day,
threw her violets to her. and after
wards congratulated her on her sue
cess.

In the first instance it was the We

that 1t was the first American work
to be performed in London. where 1t

enjoyed the beautiful airs and bril-.

as soon as possihle-which ought to be
quite soon-and remember Mr.. Snaith

of Covenden,' THE Sailor" and the
always joyful "Araminta."
The Coming" is an attempt at a
mystico- religious narrative, thing in
some such spirit among novels as is
THE Servant in the House" among
PLAYS. It presents in a small English
parish the figure of John Smith, fraiI
son OF a widow, who instead of going
to war, being presumably not of the
soldiers physique, wanders in dreams
and rhapsodies about the rustic neigh
borhood, dabbling in hypnotism and
faith healing and citing freely the New
Testament.
To the narrow minded vicar OF the
parish John Smith is a menace. To
several liberal souls he is a dear fell

low him through he is more than apt to
