RECOGNIZED POWER OF MUSIC
In All Ages the Value Of Sweet Sounds
Has Been Acknowledged
by the Wise.

A leading educationalist has this ia
say concerning the value of music
Il cannot think Of an ideal home
without music, for it would surely be
very incomplete without it.. To me,
the beauty of music cannot be de-
scribed In words. There seems to be
no state Of mind that one can be in
In which music is not welcome. Even
In the Bible we read that David played
on the harp for Saul to quiet his
troubled mind. We need music every
day In our home more than any other
place. for the good Of our mind and
body.
The benefits Of music are also
reaching the hospitals, the homes Of
the sick. and busy people after hard
days work find 1t refreshing to come
home and hear its soothing strains.

LEAVES FICTION FAR BEHIND
With Treasure Ships Is Almost
Beyond Belief.

Perhaps the largest single treasure
trove lies at the bottom of Vigo bay on
the coast of Spain. Here II bullion
carriers were sunk by the British and
Dutch navies in the latter part of the
Seventeenth century and scattered over
the oceans floor gold and silver esti-
mated at S1O0,000,000. So far it is all
there.
The fleet of bullion carriers, con-
voyed by slightly larger fleet of men
Of war, set out from the coast of Mex,
leo to carry the treasure to the Golfers
Of Spain and sought refuge in Vigo bay
from the approach of the larger British
and Dutch fleet. There they planned
to unload the treasure.
But the customs officers had no in
struetions to receive 1t. They must
communicate with their superiors. The
admiral of the fleet argued, but the
port officials were adamant. And while
they debated the enemy ships sailed
into the bay and settled the matter for
all time by sinking the feet.

Mr.. Owl looked very wise as he re

And he was thinking very hard, for
Mr.. Owl did not like the singing birds

If he could think Of a plan whereby
one could be made to stop singing in

would have everything still and quiet
then and your song would be plainly

Nightingale.
"Of course not; that is why 1 am

Mr.. Nightingale's song flooded the
woods with sweetness. He had at last
the whole place to himself, and Mr..
Owl few away thinking to himself,
HE will sing all night, and be so tired
in the morning he will sleep all day,
and there will be one less tomorrow
to disturb my slumbers."
But though Mr. Owl was wise, he
was mistaken in one thing, and that
was that Mr. Nightingale would be
tired the next day, for he was singing
as loudly as if he had not sung note
the night before.
But since then Mr.. Nightingale has
always sung at night and he is known
as the sweet singer Of the night. But
he sings in the daytime as well, and II
you ask Mr.. Owl he will tell you that
he was the one who advised Mr. Night
ingale to sing after all the other birds
were asleep, but he did not count on
his singing all day, too, and he Won

The Wise in Council.

The men who have method, and, as
1t were, a judicial intellect, are most
valuable councillors. Without such
men in a council, great deal Of clev-
erness goes for nothing; as there Is
nobody to see what has been stated
and answered, to what their delibera-
tons tend, and what progress has been
made. Such persons gather the sense
of a mixed assembly, and suggest a
line of action which may honestly meet
the different views of the various men,
bers. They will bring back the subject
matter when 1t has all but floated
away, while the others have been look

NOVELIST PROVED HIS CASE
Critics Of Dickens Spontaneous Com
bustion" Death Proved Wrong
by Eminent Medical Men.

1t may be recalled that Charles
Dickens, the famous novelist, employs
spontaneous combustion to give force
to one Of the episodes In his fasci-
mating story known as BLEAK House"
One Of the dark characters Of the
story is old Krook, proprietor Of rag
and bone warehouse. He is grasping
drunkard, consuming great quantities
of gin. One day two men, occupying
an upper room In the old warehouse,
smelt burning, and on going below to
investigate, found smouldering heap
Of something looking like charred oiled
rags. At the inquest the coroner's
jury held that old Krook came to his
end by spontaneous combustion.
Some critics Of Dickens challenged
this as being Impossible. The account
Of Krook's death was, therefore, bad
TT and blemish on the whole story.
Dickens replied by citing a similar
case that had occurred In Paris.
France, and was confirmed by report
Of several eminent medical men who
had thoroughly investigated the mat
ter.

SALESMANSHIP

WHETHER you are taking orders
for threshing machines or life
insurance, or drawing salary of ten
dollars week, you are salesman.
In the first instance you are selling
somebody else's product. In the last
you are selling your own.
You will sell threshing machines or
life insurance faster II you know
something about them, and believe in
them.
You will sell your own services for
higher price If you believe in your
self.
If the merchandise you offer is not
worth the price you ask for it, you
can't be sincere in your efforts to dis
pose of it.
And If you do not absolutely know
that your services are worth more
than you are getting for them, you will
never be able to get more.
All craftsmanship that is worth any
thing is based on confidence.
You will find it hard work to con-
vince people of anything you DO not
believe yourself.
Before you make any effort to raise
your own salary be sure that 1t ought
to be raised.
Compare yourself with other people
doing the same work for the same
wages.
If they are better than you are at
the job, don't ask for raise until you
have made yourself better than they
are.
Your hands or your brains are the
commodity you have to dispose of.
Make them just as efficient, just as
productive as you can.
Discover and eliminate the faults
that keep them from doing their best.
Work, study, practice-bring yourself
up to a higher point Of usefulness.
Then when you begin to talk about
getting more money you will have an
argument.
Believe in yourself thoroughly and
other people will believe In you.
But remember that you cannot sin
cerely believe in yourself unless you
are convinced that you can really pro-
duce more than the other men who
are doing the same kind of work.

An egg expands when it Is frozen

so much that a full barrel will shrink
until the top layer is a foot below the
chine. When the frost is drawn out
the apples assume their normal size
and fill the barrel again..
Certain varieties are not appreciably
Injured by being frozen if the frost is
drawn out gradually. Apples will
carry safely in a refrigerating car

Potatoes, being SO largely composed

This paragraph is a fair example:
"The correspondence of wisdom and

inferred, not only because mems wis

cause their goodness makes them wise.
Questions of right and wrong are a
perpetual exercise Of the faculties of
those who are solicitous as to the right

THE NIGHTINGALE

MR.. NIGHTINGALE was very proud
A'A Of his voice, and he was never
tired Of singing his liquid tones, which
were very sweet, but so were the notes
Of other birds, and Mr. Nightingale
wanted to make his song heard above
all others.
So he sang all day, but he could not
make his song ring out through the
woods above the songs of the other
birds, and so much did he worry
about it that Mr.. Nightingale could not
sleep at night.
His eyes were wide open, and his
thoughts busy trying to think how he
could improve his voice so that his
song would be the loudest in the
woods.
While he was awake one night wise
Mr.. Owl came along and sat on a tree
limb near Mr.. Nightingale's nest. "Oh,
Mr.. OWL" said he, "you are the wisest
bird in the woods, have been told.
