Every Variety of Song
in the Lives of Russians

In Russia music has always been
closely connected with the lives of the
people. From the time of birth
through all the events of life until
death claims them, they move to
musical accompaniment. The return
Of spring is celebrated by sort of
choral dance. termed the khoroyod;
marriage, being most important time,
brings forth many songs, such as ''The
Brentwood Splinter" ("Lootchins"),
"Gloriflcation," 1.-THE Matchmaker"
("Svat oushka"). There are boating
songs, laboring songs, lullabies and
dance songs. Most Of the dance tunes
are in the major mode, the slow tunes,
and these are best liked in the minor.
Cesar Cut, In his book la Musique en-
Russie," divided the Russian compos-
ers into three groups: First, the old
lyric school, Glinka Darkomizsky and
Serofr; second, the New-Russlans, Rim
sky-Korsakoff, Mussorgsky Borodin,
and lastly Rubinsteln and Tschaikow-

Robins Famous Statue

Robins statue, the Thinker" was
exhibited at the Georges Petit gallery
In 1889. 1t was one of SO pieces Of
sculpture placed on view. 1t was de-
signed to be placed over the Porte
Dc rEnfer. The idea Of fashionlng
was largely due to Robins visit to
Italy in 1876. The sculptor was COM
missioned BY NJ. Turquet, who told
Rodin that he wished to have q door
for the proposed palace Of decorative
arts. The thinker" is part Of Ro-
din's "Magnum Opus" At the salon
Of 1904 the figure was on exhibition.
It was planned to be placed on the
upper crossbeam Of the gate of hell,
where the Thinker" could look down
on the scenes Of human passion and
woe extended below him. By public
subscription the statue was ultimately
purchased and presented to the city
of Paris.

Authors and the Bible

A list of authors whose work shows
the influence of the Bible would be
endless, but we cite few examples:
Coleridge said, Intense study of the
Bible will keep any man from being
vulgar in point Of style" Daniel Web
ster said, IF there be anything in my
style or thought to be commended, the
credit is due to my kind parents in in
stilling into my mind an early love of
the Scriptures" A Scotch nurse taught
Byron to love the Bible and his "He-
brew Melodies" are drawn wholly from
the Scriptures. In Robert Burns "The
Cotter's Saturday Night" there are
some 20 Biblical references.-Wash-

Cure for Insomnia

one Of the most amazing cures for
insomnia is that discovered By Mr..
Percival Boyd. He is member of
the Society of Genealogists and find
Ing some time ago that he could not
sleep he embarked upon the task of
compiling complete index of the
marriages that took place in En.land
and Wales between 1888 and 1897.
MIR. Boyd has already compiled list
of 100000 in 1870 volumes. So good
is the index that the record of any
marriage can be found in five min
utes. Letters and slips containing in
formation arrive daily. It is calculat-
ed by Mr.. Boyd, that at the present
rate Of progress the work will take
hundred years to complete. He
cannot get on any faster because his
task makes him so sleepy. He has
found his cure.

There is one enemy against which

contend-a little blue wasp. Finding

stuns the doorkeeper with stab Of

the form of an egg among the living
blobs of jelly in the silken hammock

comes grub, which devours the baby

Odd Methods of Fishing

Natives Of some sections of India
have several unusual methods of
catching fish, Popular Mechanics
Magazine says. In Assam, fishermen
crouch on the banks Of shallow lakes
and emit a shrill whistle which at
tracts a species of mountain fish.
Lured by the sound, this fish darts
into the open palms Of the whistler
and is caught. In other places the
direct rays of the sun force mountain
fish to seek shelter beneath or beside
rocks along the banks Of streams. The
cunning hillman crawls to a bowlder
behind which a fish is hiding, strikes
the rock a heavy blow with his steel
shod club, and catches the fish,
stunned by the sound vibrations.

The eagle stood for two things In
ancient symbolism. The Greek name
for the monarch of the air was a
word meaning rapid notion" The
deeply mystic Hebrews. after watch
ing the great bird sitting motionless,
contemplating the sun, gave 1t
name which meant meditation" In
early Christian art the eagle became
the symbol Of spiritual power, be-
cause 1t was able to soar tirelessly

was the symbol of human pride and

Legendary Potentate

Prester John was a semi-mythical
potentate of the Middle ages, believed
to reign over Christian kingdom in
the Far East. 1t is, however, certain
that no Christian potentate ruled IN
Asia in the Twelfth century, though
the legend must have had some basis
in fact. Prester John has been varl-
ously identified with certain Mongol

The Irvington School of Music
announces that Ernst Heberlein

Of voice. In addition, he will give

and elementary vocal instruction.
He also will give private lessons.

and prettiest prima donnas. Her
lovely voice is a gift from the gods
indeed, for, at 3 years of age, she
could carry tune" as she puts it,
as well as any one three times her
age. Indeed, at that time she sang
a solo in the church choir.
Everything connected with sing
/ ing came easily to her, and, as she
grew up and her voice increased in
power and compass, she had quite
decided on her career.
After a course of training at the
Cincinnati Conservatory of Music,
Katherine won the scholarship
founded by Augustus Julliard. There
were 400 contestants from all parts
of the United States and Canada,
and thus she became the pupil of
the famous Marcella Sembrich,
Americas foremost teacher, with
whom she studied for three years.
This in itself is ample indication of
her talent.
In an environment as artistic as
it was inspiring, Katherine attained
the voice perfection which so de-
lights every one in Blossom Time"
She came in contact with, and is the
friend of many singers and person
alities, who helped the young singer
and imbued her with the desire to
do better - better - better. They
were the stars to which she hitched
her wagon.
Oratorio work has always at
tracted the pretty prima donna, and
she has appeared as joint soloist in
May festivals and oratorio with such
singers as John Mccormick, Dusilini
Giannini, Edward Johnson, Ethel
Hayden and Dan Beddoe.
Katherine's grandfather was a
clergyman. He had a splendid voice
and was an amateur organist of no
mean ability. And it was probably
through his influence that she was
so enthralled with church music and
OratOries of the great masters, and
at Is was soloist in such great works
as Handles Messiah" Bach's Mass
in B Minor, Hayden's Creation"
and Mendelssohn's "St. Paul" and
Elijah"
The works of Rossini, Mozart,
Gounod, Verdi, Brahms and Sulli-
van have been mastered by the
young soprano.
She has sung number of oper-
attic roles-grand opera and light
opera and has been seen in such
prominent Broadway productions as
"Iolanthe," the musical version of
"Falstaff, 'The Enchanted Isle"
and the revivals of Mile. Modesto -
"Robinhood" and in Princess
Charming in which she starred in
Australia.
