VALUE OF MUSICAL TRAINING
Sound Reasons Why Physicians Should
Have Thorough knowledge of
Sound and of Rhythm.

The great value of musical training
TO the practicing physician is pointed
out by DR.. Ernest Zueblin, associate
professor of medicine in the Univer-
Sitv Of Cincinnati. in an article con
tributed to American Medicine. APP
probation of the pitch. intensity and
duration of sounds. and of rhythm.
which must be acquired by the must
clan in the study of his art. are also
necessary to the doctor, who is obliged
70 take note of these same sound quail
tiles in making many of his diagnoses.
The objective signs of disease. DIR.
Zueblin points out are closely related
to acoustic phenomena. such as con-
ductivity. quality, tonality, pitch, in
tensity. duration and rhythm. The
conductivity of sound, for instance. is
mite different in a normal lung from
one where there Is fluid between the
lung and the chest wall. The quality
and tonality of sounds produced within
the lungs or heart or transmitted
through the abdominal viscera, are
essential for the diagnOStician. The
better the musical training. the sharper
the personal perception of the student,
the more he will excel his competitors.

Land?"

ried, and when he marries in honor of
the occasion his black feathers on
the top of his head turn into white,
soft, downy feathers-just like a big.
full flower. He calls it, his wedding
suit, and he wears it for some little
time. At no other time, but just when
he is getting married, does the ant
thrush wear such fine headdress.
''Now Mr.. Ant Thrush was about six
inches long and very graceful-he
wore a lovely slate-colored suit, and
his headdress would appear and dis
appear all the time. 1t made him look
very beautiful and at the same time
very strange.
Mrs. Ant Thrush wore lovely
brown dress. But l must tell you
about their mouths-orl rather their
beaks-for the man was so delighted
with the usual way their beaks went
up in the air. They curved straight
up and the man thought probably they
would always have to stand on their
heads when they ate or drank. But
as they looked very well fed, he didn't
worry about that.
"Let's be starting, then said the
man. we have very long trip be-
fore us and you want to take it slow
ly so you will not look all tired out
when you arrive
"The ant thrushes thought it was
perfectly splendid to be taken such
care of. They loved being thought so
rare and wonderful.
"But suddenly it dawned on Mrs.
Ant Thrust that she was leaving all
her family behind, and while she was
very devoted to Mr.. Ant Thrush, she
thought it would be lonely without
some of her sisters and brOtheBs and
cousins.
''She began to cry quite hard, and
the man hadn't any idea what the trou
bic could be.
seven in the far off lands though,
there are little fairies always around
to see what they can do, and they
whispered to the man:
"'MrS. Ant Thrush wants some of
her nearest cousins and relatives to
go along too. Now she is sorry she
has said she will go because she thinks
she will be so lonely
"That pleased the man more than
very fine to have a whole family Of
rare birds with him. and he at once
invited Mrs. Ant Thrush to ask any
of her family she wanted, so there
was great rejoicing all around and
whole family of ant thrushes went
to the new land to be admired.
Later on. as you can imagine. many
of the handsome Miss Ant Thrushes
and the beautiful Mr.. Ant Thrushes
married and when they did every single
Mr.. Ant Thrush wore his wedding suit
of soft white downy feathers.
"Of course, we wouldn't call it
suit-for only his black feathers at
he top of his head would change into
white, but every Mr.. Ant Thrust con-
sidered that such a marvellous and
wonderful change was worth calling
by fine name in honor Of fine oc-
caSiOn. and in truth such change
does deserve the fine and honorable
name Of a wedding suit
And everyone in the new land to
which they came said they thought
they were the most curious family of
birds ever seen or ever heard of And
every ant thrush was glad and proud
TO belong to such family!"

he unblushingly denied his possession
of any considerable wealth. In fact,
he tried with malicious ingenuity to
make her believe him a poor man. But
Isabel was not of the sort to be readily
deceived Finding her arts and CO.
queries of no avail, she flew into a
rage. and a furious quarrel ensued-
the first of many. For the lady could
not rest without knowing all there was
to know about the treasure.
She searched the quinta, of course,
whenever she had a chance, but she
discovered nothing-with the result
that the mystery began to engross her
whole thought. She pried into the OBJ
scurest corners, she questioned the
slaves, she lay awake at night listening
TO Esteban's breathing, in the hope of
surprising his secret from his dreams.
At length time came when they lived
in frank enmity; when Isabel never
spoke to Esteban except in reproach or
anger, and when ESteban unlocked his
lips only to taunt his wife with the
fact that she had been thwarted de-
spite her cunning.

ditions that Donna Isabel should learn

AS may be imagined, she found ways
TO vent her spite upon the twins. She
widened her hatred so as to include old
Sebastian and his daughter, and even
went so far as TO prosecute Eyange-
lina's sweetheart a slave named Assem-
sic.
1t had not taken Donna Isabel long
to guess the reason for Sebastian's
many privileges. and one of her first

= State Board Report.
In regard to the quality OF the
water taken from all our sources, the
State Board of Health claims little
superiority for any of the three, viz:
Lake Irvine, shallow wells or deep
wells. They are all good easily
treated to make them perfectly safe
for domestic and commercial pur-
poses. The wells, of course, need not
be treated at all. The question here
is the supply. In case it was found
best to abandon the deep wells, the
expense of employing Mccarthy &
Company would not be great as the
recovered screens would go quite a
way in paying the bill.
In case the crib in the lake is de-
cided upon, it will be necessary to
make provision for the vegetable
matter which comes in the water
during the late summer. This can
probably be taken out by using sand
and gravel in. the crib, on the other
hand, if the council decides on a
large shallow we'll it Gamble made Of
proper size and depth so it can be
