Masters of Melody. Music is the most romantic, aswell as the most fascinating of the arts. Looking back over musical history, it is interesting to note that many of the new roads that have been broken towards the temples of melody have been constructed by mere children. Mozart was a composer at eight, and the works he wrote at that age live to this day. Before this wonder -child of music was five he could play, several minuetes, which he mastered in un- der :half an hour, as is .recorded in his father's diary. The lives • of the great composers have sometimes been hedged about by difficulties. I•Iandel's father was a barber -surgeon, who actually disliked music. This d1511110 was carried to such an extent that he objected to his son having any musical toy. picture that youthful genius, whose whole being was glowing with music, compelled to indulge his artistic taste in secret.

Beethoven, one 00 the greatest mas- ters of melody, had a life that was be- set with trials, but his "moments,' the times of inspiration, musk have made up' for all he was forced to endure. Once, when passing through a street In Vienna, he heard the sound of a piano coming from an upper win- dow. Entering the house, and follow- ing the direction of the sound-, he found • himself on the threshold of 'a loom lit only by moonbeams that were falling upon a blind girl who was play.. ing at the piano. Without a word Beethoven took the girl's place before the Instrumen �. From that incident canoe one of the most famous of his compositions "The Moonlight 'Sonata." It is a little sad to think that the name of the blind girl is lost In the past. ---d' A Poet Wit The -poet Browning, Prof. William Lyon Phelps tells us in Scribner's. Magazine, Was as impulsive as Roose- velt. He could never speak of his wife with calmness. To illustrate bis feeling about ber, eve Professor Phelps, Lady Ritchie, the daughter of Thackeray, told me this story. There was a ruiner that Browning was going to marry again, and in his absence she mentioned it, The next day Browning heard' of It in a way that made him suppose she had orig- inated the fable. That night they met at a large dinner, and he was as- signed to take her out to the dining room. She greeted him in their cus- tomary friendly manner, took his arm and then to her amazement found that he would not speak to her, but almost spiked her with his elbow every time elle turned toward him. At dinner he devoted himself ex- clusively to the lady on the eft, and If. Anne Thackeray spoke to him he made no reply. When the ladies with- drew she asked one of then whether Robert Browning had gone mad. "Why, don't you know?" was the re- ply. "He heard that you started a story of a second marriage, and he will never forgive you," That state of affairs continued for months. They constantly met at din- ner parties, but he ignored her. In the following summer she, Browning and his most Intimate friend, the Frenchman Milsand, were staying in the same town in Normandy. One day Milsand turned on Browning and told hint that he was behavingoutrageous- ly, that Anne Thackeray had never meant any harm, had merely repeated what she had heard and was now -heartbroken. Browning was smitten with contrition; he immediately start- ed running at full speed to the oppo- site end of the town where Miss Thackeray lodged. He must have been a curious spectacle. for he was short and heavy and not used to running. "I was sitting In the window of the second story in a despondent mood," Lady Ritchie told me, "when I saw Browning running violently toward my lodging. I rushed downstairs and leapedintohis arms; we both cried together and had a lovely time." Why St. Paul's is Crumbling. The crumbling of the supports of qtr Paul's Cathedral Is not, as many Poo - pie seem to imagine,a trouble of re• cent date. It has, indeed, been brew. lug for 200 years. The tragic on the streets and the tides of tl'o Thaws -- which cause the foundations, of the edifice to move --have both played their past, with time, lu the work of ruination. When ane comas to ponslder the gt• gentle weight of the structure, and Particularly of the dome it seems a miracle that the edifice has not long since shown signs. of tneetiag with disaster, It Is more correct, however, to speak of the "douses" of St. Paul's, for there are really three—two within the greet aro which is visible from 09 many parts of Landon. There Lo first the inner dome, seen from the door of the church, Outside it, invisible both from the Roar of the church and from the exterior, comes the second dome, not property a dome but a brlek cone, wbdgh supporta the "real donee of St Paul's:" These 'domes and the conedo not hold them- selves in position,. The lantern, cross, and ball count for very little. Their trifling weight of 80Q tons is easily supported by the cone. The outer done, made of lead, bas to be kept to its true curve by huge timbers between itself and the cone. There are eight arches, supported by eight piens. The total weightrest- ing on these piers is 40,000 tons - 0,000 tons to each pier. The cathedral, which is Sir Chris- topbor Wren's masterpiece, required some thirty-five years before it vast completed, although the first service was held In 1007, twenty,years after the foundation was .laid. One million pounds was the total cost. To -day about one=seventh of that figure— £140,004—is required for repairs, HELP FOR TIRED h a "Mad On." NERVOUS PEOPLE The Death Rocket. A new weapon of offensive and de- fensive warfare has been developed in the form of a "death rocket" designed to throw out a flaming shower of molten metal miles above the earth's surface. The inventor is Mr. Ernest Welsh, of North Fcrrlby, Yorke, England, and his experiments with medium-sized rockets are said to have proved that and can ignite any object within that region. The experimental rockets, it is claimed, can climb to a height of five miles. The rocket contains a destructive Oharge of seven hundred pellets, a re- gulating charge, a detonator, . and a propelling charge. When it is to be scut • aloft, :It rests in a diagonal launching cradle, somewhat similar to those used for ordinary sky -rockets. Wizen the (use is ignited, the propell- ing charge sends the rocket soaring oat' of its cradle. Thereafter, at regu- lar intervals, it is given fresh impetus by the bursting of additional charges, For nee as deteese -against raiding aircraft, the inventor .says that bat- teries of the rockets could be shot up• wards in the form of a barrage. The pellets burn themselves out quickly, so that the rockets could be used over a city. When doubts assail you, clear your mind ---think Progressively—and Set accordingly.

Of course I was given treat- ment and recommended many tonics, some 01 which I took, but with no ap- parent result. At last I could not even sleep. My sister, who Is in England, wrote and urged me to give Er. Wil- liams' Pink Pills a trial, and I can scarcely say how glad I am that I took ber advice.

Mothers everywhere who have used Baby's Own Tablets for. their children speak in enthusiastic terms of then, For instance, Mrs. Zepherin Lavoie, Three Rivers, Que„ wrltes;—"Baby's Own Tablets are a wonderful medicine for little ones. They never fail to regulate the baby's stomach and bowels, and make him plump and well. I always keep a box of tete Tabets in the house and would advise all mothers to do likewise."

For example, a sow belonging to an Eng- lish game keeper, was trained to hunt game, at which it became more expert than most. pointers. The fame of this animal spread far and wide, and" tempting offers were made to buy it.
