The New System Of Teaching
Music to Children

Employed by Mrs. Honeywell
eliminates the drudgery of the
old system. Her class drills are
very entertaining to the children
and rapid progress is made in ear
training and piano technic. The
notes are represented by colors.
This system is rapidly gaining
favor with kindergarten music
teachers. A class will be formed
in color music in her summer

Clock dials usually represent the hours

Is one curious variation. The nuh-

clock dlals II Is four rs as iii. There
Is reason for this. II traces back TO
the ignorance Of a king Of France who
ruled six hundred years ago.
Tradition among watch aud clock
makers has IL that the clock dial was
first made by Henry Wick In the year
1870. and he made 10 for Charles v, or
Charles the Wise, OF France. Charles
was not as wise as he looked or as
his name would suggest. When the
dial OF the clock was submitted for his
approval he studied Il long and care
fully. Finally he remarked, "lhc clock

A PROHIBITION REFEREINDUM.

The new governor of New York proposes,

| bition by federal amendment shall be submit
ted to the people of the state. Are they ready
to surrender their inherent right to legislate
upon this question? Are they prepared to for
felt any part of their police powerf Are theS
ireconciled to the policy of permitting other
states to decide for them upon this matter and
to impose restrictions on their personal hbertyf
These are eminently proper questions on which
New Workers have right to pass. Other mat
tiers which concern them far less vitally are
submitted to them from year to year, and the
same procedure is followed in other states; but
there are those who would decide this question
of prohibition for them without reference to
their desires
The chance OF doing this however seems to
have passed in the state of New York, for the
present, and it is we'll that it has, Laws In
vasive of natural and traditional rights, forced
on the people by minorities, are always bitterly
resented and prove worse evils than those they
undertake to cure. 1t is better under our form
OF government that reforms should wait the
growth of public sentiment and the will of a
TO enforce them. Nothing contributes
so much to iawlessness, to disrespect for law
and fierce resentment against the government
as laws which have not public sentiment behind
them There is enough lawlessness in the
world today without embittering the masses by
snap legislation forced on majorities by minor
ties, by groups which have taken the con-
science OF state into their keeping, and by
lypocntlcal politicians with axes to grind
Prohibition may be good thing for the COM
that wants it. Temperance is a bet

LIGHT HELPS HENS.

New York Sun: How can artificial
illumination have any effect on egg
production is the question being
asked by some skeptical poultrymen
who have never made any tests
The answer is, according to the
workers in poultry husbandry at the
New York State College Of Agricul-
ture, that the light appears to equal
lie the time between meals and to
shorten the period of inactivity of
the fowls during the long nights.
The long nights of the late fall and
winter months apparently cause the
fowls to use a larger proportion OF
the night feed for bodily needs than
would be the case under normal con-
ditions in the spring time. when the
days and nignts are of practically
equal length.
At the time of the year when fowls
lay the most eggs in New York
