Soyas of the Soil. The Function of Music.
Attention has recently been direct -
.ed to, the fact that a family of small
farmers, named Berton, have been cul-
tivating the same land for a period of
253 years. The Berton farm is situ-
ated at Mariaut, near the eastern limit
of the Battle of the Marne.
France could probably provide many
pther examples of similar cultivation
by successive generations. Her ions•
have always been famous for their at
tac'hment to the soil.
In -1823, when it was decided that
all French farmers whose families had
been cultivating the same -land for
over three hundred years should .be
decorated with the Legion of Honor,
seven hundred and fifty farmers were
found eligible for the distinction. One
of them, Jules La Sargue, -was able to
establish that his family had been
farmers in the village of La Coutie,
Tarn-et-Garonne,since the year' 772.
It •,is very doubtful --if this can be
beaten .anywhere. But our own. Coun-
ty Durham, England, has a right to be
proud of the record of Belle Vue Farm,
Stanhope. This farm has •been culti-
vated by the same family fore over six
hundred years.
Flowers and Inspiration.
I hate a hundred dollars invested in
seeds, bulbs, roots and tubers in the
ground. No kid waiting for Christmas,
no small boy waiting, for a circus ever
had any more thrills of impatience
than those with which. I wait for
Spring.
Music must not be thought of priu-
cipally as a mind 'traindr, as a there'
pen'tic •agent, or, as a religious 'or
socializing force. It's prime function
is to arouse in a man a more highly
spiritual attitude asthe result of a de-
finitely esthetic reaction and because
of the sensation afforded by such atti-
tide when once roused, to raise the
general level' of his whole life to a
higher plane. All these Other things
are valuable, but they must• be' con-
sidered rather as by-products than as
Principal ends„
The function of school music is to
causethe rank and file of our aeye and
girls to maintain, if possible;• to in-
crease,
ncrease, the interest which they _felt
when they first heard and took part in
music; and to give them suitable 'op-
portunities for- growing' constantly
more appreciative and; moreintelligent
when listening to godd renderings of
standard music. It<: also should . fit
them to take such part in the -perform-
ance of good music '-as •their- varied;
capacities and inclinatione 'may: make
possible and desirable:'
Digging in a garden is better exer-
cise than golf, better gambling than
poker, better fun than a , circus and
brings finer presents than Christmas.
I have learned a lot in planting my
Bawer garden; a lot about men and
a little about God. I take a bulb, dull
brown and seemingly lifeless and bury
it in the earth to see it spring into life
and bring forth a' thousand times its
bulk in leaf and lovely flower.. How
can I ever again.question the full
truth of life beyond the' grave or fail

Shot by :a Candle.-
A remarkable inscription cut into
the stone -wall .of the • lower -ramparts.
of the Round Tower at Windsor Castle
has excited the curiosity. of many visite
ors. No date is attached, and there
is no explanation of its meaning `be-_
yond the actual words: "C. Horne
Shot by a Candle."
Curiously ..enough, however, an old
Windsor diary has -come to light which
contains, under the date June 8th,
1833, this remarkable entry: "Chas.
Horne, Clever Lane, was killed. by a
man shooting a. rush -light at him fro?
a gun. Buried at Eton, June 11th,,•"
There is no evidence that the in- -
scription on the",castie wall' . and, this
entry in a diary refer to the same in-
cident,
n
cident, but the probability is that they
do. In reference to the' event itself,
it was probably the tragic end of what
was meant for a joke, the _ offender
thinking a tallow candle' would merely
flatten out against the poor fellow's
body and do- him no injury, whereas it
has been proved that a candle can be
fired through an inch boar's.
