Music and Thinking.

About 1000 A. D. q monk in an
Italian monastery had been thinking
about the long, labOriOus task of train
ing singers for the church service. Ten
years were required for singer &c
memorize words and music of the va
riOus chants and hymns used! There
was no system for learning a new
tune independent of the words.
And while he was thinking he heard
his chOirbOys practicing one of their
lessons, a hymn that rose in pitch With
the first syllable of each successive
line, just as the scale series was
formed.
Thought flashed!
And the result of his thinking was
the use of the syllables ut Changed
to do later), re, mi, ia, sol, la, 81 TO
facilitate scale learning. The imme-
diate result was that GuidO's choirbOys
learned all their tunes-and could take
new Ones-in six months as against
ten years in the old way.
And the indirect result is that boys
and girls in the schc of this country
learn the scales by =, "ocess similar
to that thought out by monk in Italy

DR.. F. w. Smart of Wartrace,
Tennessee, is a very enthusiastic
dairyman. His milk and cream
checks for the month of June amount
ed to $500. He has % cows and
gives them perfect attention. He
ships the mornings milk. The night S
milk is separated from which the
cream is shipped. This way he finds
it takes less ice than is the case where
all milk is shipped. 1t is interesting
to know that this $500 worth of milk
and cream was produced at a feed
cost for purchase feed If less than
500, leaving over $42O which was
clear profit with the exception of
cost of pasture and milking the cows.

FIRST KNOWN USE OF CIGARS
Mentioned by Name in Book Published
in 1740, but Were Smoked Be-
;a. fore That Time.

The earliest known mention OF
cigars is in a book published in 1740
under the title of "Distresses and
Adventures of John COckburn." 1t ap-
pears that COckburn was cast on a des-
ert island in the Bay of Honduras,
from which he swan to the mainland,
and thence travelled afOOt to Porto
BellO, a distance of $500 miles. Here
he met some friars who gave him
some "seegars" to smoke. "These,"
he says, "are some leaves Of tobacco
rolled up in some manner that serves
both as pipe and the tobacco itself"
Though this is the earliest date at
which cigars appear to be mentioned
by that name, so far back as 1853
two soldiers sent by Columbus to ex-
plore Cuba told their companions on
their return how the natives carried
in their mouths a lighted frebrard
made from the leaves of a certain
herb, rolled up in maize leaves. The
description Of an Indian method Of
smoking given by Lionel Wafer, in
his "Travels in the Isthmus OF
Darien," in 1899, shows that they
then smoked cigars made just as wC
make them now. The manufacture
and consumption of cigars in northern
Europe only dates from the close of
the seventeenth century. .-e-..
