The Hearts In Men.

Two riverfront wanderers uncerS
moniously leaped into the river to res.
cue an unfortunate woman who took
her own life. Whether or not these
men were outcasts we cannot know.
The report didn't attempt to furnish
description of them. But little as
their own lives might be worth. they
did not hesitate to offer what they
had. On the-river front one may daily
see little evidences of heroism among
the discarded members OF society and
the refuse of humanity. Under tat
tered clothes and scared features
beats many heart which would free
ly spare its blood for others more
unfortunate. A child falls in the river
and 1t is q rare day when dozen
dock wallpapers wort begin shedding
their coats for the rescue. 1t is al
most as difficult to kill the good in
men as 1t is to suppress the bad

Music and Physiology.

That Music hath charms to soothe
the savage breast" has usually been
accepted as a quotation from the ad.
mirable william Shakespeare. wheu'
az a truth. 1t should be credited to q
later dramatist. Richard Congreve.
The salutary effect Of music in quiet
ing these pulmonary disturbances has
never been questioned. but the Journal
Of the American Medical association
goes further In its claim for the be-
nignant influence of music and says:
mot only is music physic for the soul,
dissipating mental depression, sooth.
ing psychic perturbations; but its In.
fluence may also enhance nutrition,
further digestion (as by the liver mu.
sic of the Frencb) and restore organic
equilibrium. Indeed, the entire work
ing OF the human mechanism. physical
and mental alike, may be fabricated
by stream of music, which with art
and science should therefore have q
place in the medical armamentarium."
