GOT INSPIRATION At PIANO
immortal Melodies Evolved BY Masters
While Their Fingers "Wandersd

A story IL told Of MenAelssohn to
the effect that the charming nrpeggio
agure in the Spring song Of his "Song
Without Words" came to him on
dny when he played with his children
at the plano. aud allowed them to
catch his hands. as they wandered
over; the keys: and It Is fact that
many Of our most beautiful musical
productions owe their origin t. extern
porizing on the plano.
This Is not to be wondered at for
many Of our greatest musicians have
poured out their hearts deepest feel
ings rs their fingers have fitted. In a
desultory fashion. over the keys. pro-
ducIng corresponding notes and chords

ing with that triumphant respOnre that
time can never diminish.
We cnn see 10 the works Of Chopin
and Schunann proof that IN the
plano is the origin Of many 81 their
most beautiful productions. while In
tho great symphonies Of the old mas
tiers their shape. form. and color have
been gained at the plnno where their
fingers wandered Idly over the noisy

Der Of reasons the serpent vas always

The Babylonians' caduceus, which n

stands for an actual serpent god. MIN

on the title pages Of books published
by the famous medical printer. Fro

groves may yet become common In the
southern states. II the Idea Of Elm

Of planting them makes reasonable
progress. 1t will be new idea to the
farmer. and he will have to think II
over. Meantime the country has one
important bamboo grove nourishing In
the state Of Georgia. where II stands
in tho custody Of the United States
department Of agriculture. to serve as
an object lesson. The young bamboo
shoots provide an early spring vexe-
table. said to have flavor much like
that Of sweet corn. and the stalks
have Q wide range Of uses which
should make q bamboo grove profit

them. for which the United States pays

(Switzeriand) correspondent says
they need confirmation" II Is stated
that for every 1000 boys born In the
later years Of the war. 1888 girls have
been born. Before the war the ratio
was 1000 boys to 1,024 girls. "Noth-
Ing" writer the correspondent, us

dItIons that determine sex in the hu-
man species. hut there Il quite . large
amount Of evidence IN support Of the
generalization that during wars and
famines, when the conditions are gen
orally adverse, especially with regard
to nutrition. the proportion Of male
relative to female births increases. n
there is any foundation for this gen
eralizatIon, then We must conclude
either that the figures are wrong OF
that Germany was mighty well nour-

entirely aberrant influence was at
