He mounted a little' ladder, put the noose around his neck and jumped. Because of the dog, who scented death and howled, .the old man was saved. But he had used up in this supreme resolution all that reanhined of his wrathful will. Sick and impotent, he confld021 the farm work to others and scarcely ever' quitted the room. At certain hours the ash's shadow came and danced over. the rough floor. But the old man no longer resented anything. One day he said to Catali: "I feel that I am going soon." She answered simply: •'Wben God wills. But she craftily studied out of the corner of her eye the progress of the decline shown on his distented, weak- ened face, One morning the old peasant heard a joyoue chatter in the aslt. He sat up and saw on the branches two little boys, very like his son. At a stroke a quarter of a century effaced itself for him, He recalled his past, which was that of an upright man, rich in a son and a good wife. He grasped his stick, tapped on the floor and waited for his wife. She hurried in, with no aign of fear, her face all aglow, With a gesture he for- bade her to speak. Was he not the master and free to choose the link which would reunite the family chain? "Bring me the children!" he com- manded, pointing to the tree from Which the chatter came. For his wounded pride and his ram cor in the past counseled him to turn his .thoughts to the future of bis race. The sons of his son climbed dawn' from the branches of the ash tree, like fruit for which some unknown woman was stretching out her hands, He Forgot His Own Wedding. ; The wedding, says a contributor to the Youth's Companion, was to be at a farmhouse, the home of the bride's parents. The ceremony was to take place at six o'clock in the evening, and an old-fashioned wedding feast was to follow 1t, Six o'clock came; the guests had as- sembled, and the super was ready to be served, but the bridegroom was not present. The bride could hot hide her dismay and chagrin. No one seemed to be able to account for the young man's absence. Halt past six came .but no bridegroom. Speculation and. conjecture ran the rounds among the guests. The bride was almost beside herself with grief and mortification, The hands of the clock pointed to half past seven when down the lane leading to the home came three horse• men riding at breakneck speed, They were the tardy bridegroom and two of his companions.. Tbe bride, whose eyes were red with weeping, was un certain how to receive tbe young man, but friends gathered • round, and ex- planations were made.

A well-bred Shetland• pony is no more than_fortyinches in height, yet is capable of carrying on its back a full-grown man. Which is a proof that ft is net only size which counts in the matter of strength. Two animals that are much strong- er than is usually supposed are the pig and the sheep. Boars have often been broken to harness, and have been used for ploughing, and on a certain Bedfordshire estate a large dog has been trained as a saddle animal. At the same pace sheep have been used for riding, and were found quite equal to bearing the weight of a fuld-grown man. It is not many years since oxen were used for ploughing in England. Again, the little Indian ox, the zebu, Is a capi- tal draught animal and can trot at a merry pace.

Tbe other day a spectacled man. with a cont leg, and wearing a felt hat, got into a bus. Could you—this was a test of "gen- eral knowledge" in a recent examina- tion paper—say who invented' spec- tacles, cork legs., felt, and buses? The inventor of spectacles was an Italian, Salvino degli Armati, who lived in the thirteenth century. In a street in Florence there is a house with an inscription to his memory, placed there by the Guild of Artisans. And "cork legs?" Alas, artificial legs are not made of cork. Dr. Cork invented them, and his mine, some- what misleadingly, was applied to his inventton in a material sense! The 'bus? A Frenoh invention, this, due to the philosopher. Pascal. In 166? he obtained a "privilege" to run omnibuses in certain streets in Paris. But, though "omnibus" means "for everybody," only the elite were per- mitted to ride in Pascal's omnibuses; soldiers% lackeys, and other humble folk being bailed. Felt? This was a Tartar invention, and goes back thousands of years. In North Asia, clothes, houses, beds, and much else, are all of felt, Study of; Medicine in the University of Toronto. There has just been sent out to all graduates of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto, a letter from the Dean giving a report of the active Ifees of the year, In this report Dean Primrose stresses the fact that tine Song That Won a Wife.

His wife thought that he Drank too much coffee, so the composer wrote trio cootata in praise of bis favorite drink. Rossini was so fond of eating and so reluctant to work that an impresario, wbo had commissioned an opera from him, had to lock him in his room and matte him write so many pages of music fee each course of dinner served to him.

Insect Perils. Tho famous scientist, Proteasor A, R, Wallace, was once asked what was the most dangerous beast he haat en- countered in the course 'of his tropical trave's. Though he. had roamed thaough the haunts of the jaguar, the peccary, and the giant anaconda, he declared that he was most afraid of the wild bee, Hipiing has a story about the terror of the wild bee, when it is numbered by countless millions, which gives a graphic picture of what that danger can mean.

The primitive man looking at his own reflection in a still pool beheld a phenomenon he could not explain. He saw something which was not himself, but which must be so closely related to himself that there was no joke in it. What is known as sympathetic magic always regarded a close connec- tion as existing between a person and his "oounterfelt . presentment." We know better now, but who 18 there who can see a looking glass accidental- ly broken without experiencing a me ret feeling of uneasiness?

It le to be Coaxed, however, that nubieots ouch as "How Music first conte into being,,' and "How the art gradually evolved from a primitive state to its modern stage of development" are foretge. to a geed Many. With this 1n view, therefore, the tollawlng piper deal- ing with the: making of melody and origin of 111138X, written by Urquhart Cawley, the well known writer, io here Presented. Mr. Cawley says: Although 1nu210 in its 6010101110.,, sense is the youngest of the arts, yet in Its origin ' it is almost, if not quite, as old as man. When 'the first cave. man made, a noise to express leis feelinge, MOS 18 was born, and the howl of a savage, the roar of an angry mob, and the cries of 01111(180u at play, show us the primitive material out of welch the art was evolved, "In the veryearly days, when no two savages aged exactly the same howl, and even the saute savage could not be sure of getting the same howl twice running, 110 111,11810 1V118 possible. For music le not merely sound, but organized sound. And the noise which expresses your feelings must express them not only to yourself, but to your hearers. The first atop, therefore, was to invent conventional howls, each expressing some emdtiori which the )hearers would recognize; lust as doubtless - the alphabet was derived from conventional pictures. "In order that the howl simnil be recognizable, a more or less definite sound was fixed ou as the beginning of it. This" was that we should call a tonic or starting point, on 2111iah the rest of the how depended. In course of time, other notes in the howl became sinliliarly fixed sounds, until a regular series of such sounds was invented, having a more or less regular relation to each other, and the result was the scale. Not that these earl?scales were much like trio ones to which we are accustomed. The latter are comparatively modern, and serve rather a different purpose. The old :males were thought of es moving downwards instead of upwards and as being merely trio means for ex- pressing sounds by a single voice, whereas our modern settles are thought of chiefly as the basis of cor• Min harmonic relationships. "At this stage another complies. Lion arose --that of rhythm. If melody can be defined as the expression of feeling by means of sound, rhythm is that expression by menus of bodily movement; hence the invention of dancing. Now, among primitive peoples these two modes of expression are quite distinct, and until a tribe bas advanced fax enough to hare regu- lar dances with music, melady remains quite formless, and therefore imam, As soon, however, as a1 stage is reach - 0d when it is realized that tunes must have certain rhythm, and that the sounds must hear some relation to each other as regards length as well as pitch, we have all the ingrelllents for proper melody. And It must be remembered that all music ultimately depends on melody. Ilewever great the skill with which a 01111p02.er 0m' belliabes or develops his tune, ee m1181 have the tuns to start with; and gen- erally :peaking, the better the tune, the better the piece of music. "Only one stop was now naf.essery to make melody complete, an feelings or emotions became more 0003111ex, the expression of them had to become more complex likew''se; and mem lesrat gradually how to vary, by Meana of differences of pitch, the anisette. of emotion in each part of the melely.
