to have wrenched into a duet) used to

of the words dated 1906 in the Pepys
Collection, as does also Grim King of
the Ghosts" whose tune was appro-
priated for "Can love be controlled by
advice?" When Addisan carried off the
Countess Dowager of Warwick from his
rival Rowe the latter poured his emo
tions into "Colin's Complaint" which
was sung to the old tune also Of the
mc of Carolus secundus. This was
lso a tune in "The Devil to Pay"
.allad opera which shared popularity
with Gays piece in London and New
York century ago, and several of
he songs in "The Beggar's Opera" have
titles taken from plays oy d'Urfey, like
"The Sun had loos'd his weary team"
["The First Time at the Looking Glass"
in the comedy, which is The tune to
which Burns wrote '''The Deil's ava
wi the Exciseman."
Of the music borrowed from the works
Of great composers mention must be
m fla ,f %I,o+ &c nN;ro;o. Am ;tyo ~,
Fair Flower in It's LusSer," which is by
Purcell; the stiff and stirring "Let Us
Take to the Road" which is the march
from EandePs "Rinaldo," the opera
night, when he took the dictatorship of
the Italian establishment which Gay is
supposed to have killed and which is
still considered Handels finest operate
composition. Carey's "Sally in Our
Alley" (Which has been strangely meta
morphosed since it was written) pro-
vides the tune for one of Macheatb's
fragmentary reflections, and jeremiah
Clarke, organist Of the Chapel Royal,
and composer of much cathedra music
as well as pieces for the stage, COM
posed the music to which "'Tis Woman
That Scduces All Mankind" is sung
One of the airs ("Cease Your Funning')
is attributed to Gay himself, who GER
tainly had fine ear for music though
ne was not Of the musical profession.
But we must not go OH in this vein
into which we have been lured by our
delight in the music as it is performed
at the Greenwich Village Theater. The
settings by Mr.. Austin (Which have
been published by Boosey & Co.. are
tastefully and ingeniously made and
kept quite in the spirit of the time
They help greatly to give refined at
mosphere to the performance, and our
only regret is that the band is not a
little larger and more proficient. We
join heartily in wish expressed in
The London Observer Though not ex-
pressed as wish by it, but as fact
that after 1.-THE Beggar's Opern" has
been tried on "thc intimate stage Of
the Greenwich Village Thcater" it will
| be "prodnced in New York"

many of them are folk products; how
many we shall never know. But
whether folk-songs or artistic songs
(by which we mean songs created by
conscious art and not popular INSTINCT,
they are the voice of an appreciation
of beauty which is sadly wanting in
the people of England and America
to-day. Gay did not SO to any one
source for them. The compositions of
great musicians were as welcome to
his hand as the ballads of the barber
shops and taprooms. lie did not need
to delve for the latter among the peas
ants. cartmen, watermen and trades
men Of London, for many of them were
preserved in the comedies of his prede-
cessors for more than hundred years
back. 4,
Shakespeare and Gay
Shakespeare was delightfully."- frank
in his use of the popular songs Of his
day, and his plays are delightful re-
pository of allusions to them. Some
of the tunes which enlivened his come
dies came pat to the hand of Gay.
When Sir Toby, in "Twelfth Night"
says "Malvolio's a Peg-a- Ramsey and
Three Merry Men are we" he is quot
ing two of the popular songs of the
day, and the tune Of the first has q
place in "The Beggar's Opera" when
the words of "Our Polly is sad slut"
are set to it. 1t was the time also of
ballad called London is a fine
Town." which dates back to 1647. Some
| surprise was expressed in the reviews
after the first performance of Gays
piece at the appositeness Of much OF
its satire to social and POLITICAL condi-
, tions to-day. Will Mr.. Whitman and
Mr.. Untermyer, to say nothing Of the
rest of us who have no aftiliation with
Tammany Hall, see a characterization
Of present conditions in our municipal
government in the refrain Of the old
ballad? Here it is:
London is fine town,
Yet their cases pity.
The mayor ana SoIae 1lueAhoh
Have clean undone the City,"
Here we have an echo OF Shake
apearian music; but it is not the only
one in Mr.. Gays comedy. Ancient man.
ncr as we'll as matter is preserved in
the musical speech Of Captain Mac
heath when he calls on drink and song
to enliven his supposedly last moments
in the condemned hold. Like poor, dis
traught Ophelia, the Captain sings
fragments Of song, and one Of them
you'll think ere many days ensue," hat
the tune which theatrical tradition has
preserved as one which Ophelia sings
before going down to her muddy
DEATH" 1t was the fetching way IL
which Lavinia Fenton sang Now pom
der we'll" which made her dukes
mistress and finally duchess. and the
tune, which has history dating bacl
to 1896, and possibly to the reign O.
Richard III, was that to which th'
Gravediggcr in Hamlet sings "A

THE SOUL SEARCH

A N ENGLISH scientist has devoted
IA a LOT of time and effort to writ
Ing book which he calls "In Search
Of the Soul"
At the end the scientist finds him
self no nearer discovering the where
abOuts of what he was searching for
or even knowing the character of the
thing he sought than was Plato or
Seneca or PythagoraS or Epictetus,
all great teachers, but all dlsagreeing
when it came to the thing which none
Of them KNEW anything about.
Always there has been a doubt as
to whether the soul was within or
without the body.
One investigator who died not long
ago spent years of his life in an at
tempt to devise weighing mechanism
so delicate that he would be able TO
determine if there was any deter
minable difference in the weight of
human body just before and just
after death, hoping thereby to es-
tablish the weight of the soul.
There were reports, never perhaps
justified, that the government bureau
of standards had under consideration
a similar line of experiments.
1t would be just as satisfying, in
all probability, to try and weigh a
thought, for it is probable that moth
ing more tangible leaves the body at
death.
Did you ever wonder what becomes
Of the thinking power when the body
no longer has power to breathe and
move? Is the thinking power the
soul?
Where goes the genius of Beethov-
en- or Mozart and that indeScribable
power to group sounds into harmony
when death has robbed those fingers
of writing down the notes upon the
ruled paper?
What becomes of the analytical
powers of a Newton or a Euclid or an
Einstein when he can no longer pen
his formulate or give to the world his
conclusions?
What becomes of the genius of the
painter when his hand can no longer

Declared Mature Exempt.

There is another story told by Pro-
lessor Roerich which results in the
nearer asking for assurance Of its
truth, which is given. 1t seems that
certain enthusiastic revolutionists in
authority in Moscow decided that a
highly decorative and significant effect
could be produced by painting the
grass and the trees about the govern
ment buildings in Moscow a bright
red. Orders were given and the gov
eminent painters set themselves indus
triously to work giving an appearance
to the official Vegetation which we
commonly attribute to growth on the
planet Mars. Whereupon the startled
workingmen and soldiers of the city
marched through the streets and made
solemn protest against painting the
trees and grass of the city red. Their
wishes in the matter were respected
and nature was relieved of the neces-
sity of subscribing to the soviet code.

F0RTY-THREE MILLION LIVES
Lost to World Through the Great
War, According to Figures Given
by Statistcian..

A study Of the different statistics Of
the actual and potential loss of life
due to the recent war reveals the fact
that about forty-three million lives
have been lost to the world either di-
rectly from the war or from causes
induced by 1t, Richard P. Strong, NJ
d.. writes in the North American Re-
view. These losses are made up of,
first, approximately 100000 deaths
which occurred in the military serv-
ice; secondly, a surplus mortality
above that which occurred in normal
times in the civilian populations
amounting to approximately 100000,
due TO epidemic and other diseases,
privation, hardship, physical exhaus-
Il On, and similar causes; and thirdly,
q potential loss of 20,000,000 lives
due to the decreased birth frequency
below that which occurred under nor
NAL conditions before the war; The
adult male population in many Euro
pean countries has been reduced by
from Ia to 20 per cent. The figures of
Alonzo Taylor show us that there are
between 100000 and 6O,OOO,OOO peo-
pie in Europe who have lost their
prewar occupations owing to the fact
that the markets for their products
no longer exist, having been changed
or taken away from them by other
countries. Many of these people have
or soon will become refugees in Eu.
rope, among which class Of people not
only poverty and hardship, but also
disease always reigns, resulting in
high increase in death rate and de-
crease in birth rate.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
TEACHERS

PREACHERS are looking about these
Il days for opportunities that will
give them better returns than those
the schools yield. This may be a
pity from the point of view of the
schools, but it Is fact.
But many women love teaching, and
feel that they are particularly we'll
suited to this work. Yet they must
earn more money. There is an OPP
portunity for joining the two in teach
ing craftsmanship. Many Of the big
department stores run classes for
teaching their salespeople better meth
DDS and for giving them a chance to
advance to the higher positions.
Teachers are now taking special
courses in selling and then going into
the teaching of this branch Of COM
merce.
There Is also an opening in doing
special research work for retail and
department stores, and teachers are
qualifying for such positions. Natural
ly they soon make far greater salary
than ever they got by schOol-teaching,
and what is more the life itself Is
broader, more various and fuller Of
opportunity. Teachers who go into
commerce from this angle often de-
velop into saleswomen themselves, and
grow to prefer that work. Executive
positions in retail and department
stores are also open to them after
the experience that comes with teach.
ing.
A certain time spent in teaching
school is good practice for almost any
job. Witness how many of our fa-
nous men were at one time of their
career teachers in country or city
schools. But the young woman who
wants to get out into the world and
make a real future for herself will
not stay too long in the classroom,
She will use her training to bring her
the best results possible. Executive
positions in wholesale and retail trade
are one possibility, and an excellent
one.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
THE JOB AND THE MAN
By r. A. WALKER.

hold the brush or OF the sculptor
when his hammer and chlsel have
been laid down for the last time?
Is there tangibllity to knowledge,
to talent, or are they wholly spiritual
and without dependence on material
things and exlstencel
Plato said, The body is n prison,
from which the soul must be released
before 1t can arrive at the knowledge
of those things which are real and im-
mutable."
Is the soul really Imprisoned within
the body or is the body only an H.
fusion which our belief gives de-
ceivlng realityl
The ScientiS, who Is studying mat.
ter for no one yet KNOWS what
matter is, tells us that everything
material Is made up ~ electooUS and
that electronS are really only a mani
festatien OF electricity and that cleo
trieity is NOT matter hat only energy,
and we, therefore, end up with the
statement that matter is not material
but only Il demonstration Of energy,
So after all what Is there to the thing
which we ordinarily think Of ms the
home Of the Souls
What IN enigma, What an eternal
problem, We stand upon the edge of
a great ocean and wisely discuss it
as a whole when we do not know more
than the meueSt fraction of the truth
about the one wave that washes at
our feet.
We write books with sounding titles
and confess at the end, If we are
truthful, Il know nothing"
Only ONE thing man really KNOWS.
That is that he is conscious, that he
has been endowed with some power
of recognition and reason. Whether
his use OF that power results in
truthful conclusion he does not know.
1t may be that one of the greatest
glories and privileges of the hereafter
will he to know something and know
that it is the truth.
There are many question marks in
the paragraphs above but all life is a
question to which none of US have
ever known the satisfactory answer.
