Pompeiian Discoveries
Include "Thermopolium.'

The recent excavations of Pompeil
in the ancient "Street Of Abundance"
have resulted in such extensive finds
that the life Of the street can be al
most entirely reconstructed. The prin-
cipal discovery is that Of huge
"thermopolium," kind Of public
house. This is in state of perfect
preservation, ard an exact idea can
now be obtained of Roman place of
refreshment. There is long row of
wine Jars so placed that it seems the

from one into the other when over
taken by the catastrophe.

Many Need More Energy
to Reach the Top Rung

The price of success is the whole
man, the whole woman. Without ex-
erting all the force that is in you, you
will never reach your highest possible
mark. Many people fail ia the neces-
sary initiative and energy, in conf
dence to branch out, to undertake the
things that they long to do. They are
timid, retiring, hesitators, putters-of,
balancers, bargainers. 1t is such peo-
pie who gradually, unconsciously, but
inevitably, drift into the perpetual
clerkships, into the ruts where their
powers become paralyzed and out of
which they never seem to be able to
climb.-New Success.

of the most popular ballads have

two or three gulneas, while the com.

Immortal Melodies Evolved by Masters
Whle Their Fingers Wandered
Idly over the Keys"

A story is told of Mendelssohn to
the effect that the charming arpeggiO
figure in the Spring song of his Song
Without Words" came TO him on a
day when he played with his children
Mt the piano. and allowed them TO
catch his hands, as they wandered
over the keys; and II Is Il fact that
many of our most beautiful musical
productions owe their origin to extern
porizlns on the piano.
This is not to be wondered at for
many OF our greatest musicians have
poured out their hearts deepest feel
incs as their fingers have fitted, in u
desulory fashion, over the keys, pro-
duciug corresponding notes and chords
to their ever-changing moods; finding
ut tie keyboard II vent for their in'
mos. thoughts and desires, often meet
iug with thar triumphant response that
time can never diminish.
We can see in the works OF Chopin
and Schumann proof that in The
piano is the origin of many of their
most beautiful productions. while in
the great symphonies of the old mas
tiers thelr shape, form, and color have
been gained at the piano where their
fingers wandered idly over the noisy
keys
TIL is not so hard 10 understand
when we consider that the method OF
composing melody is, in essence, but
