The ancients are said to have drawn crabs out from under the mud and stones by music, and swarming bees n'ere coax- ed back to their hives by the clash- ing of cymbals or the pounding of pans. Seals have followed ships for many miles when there bas been music aboard. Musicians playing in the open fields have had strange ex- periences. Lizards and squirrels have gathered about them unafraid. One squirrel, it is said, came regularly from its hole every time the adagio from Mozart's quartet in E major was played. Sheep and goats have come running for an opera air played on a flute, Some of the tales one dismisses Elephants, several of the deer and, of the cats, he had noticed, were espec- ially responsive to music. There might be, he said, a great difference in this respect between the individu- als of a species. One leopard might seem hardly conscious of music; an- other 'would dance with joy at a given air.

All train- ed animals, lie added, are dependent on familiar music. A estrange in thy - them or in melody might throw them off their cues and result in panic or in serious accident.

Such uses of music are of long compilation to prove the power of music, written something over a cen- tury ago, several such stories appear. One morning very early a tailor is going home after a night spent in fid- dling at a party. An angry bull at- tacks him. With sudden inspiration he begins to fiddle. The bull -stops, listens, is charmed. When the man stops, its rage returns. So till dawn the hapless man fiddles away to save his skin. Again, a state prisoner in the Bastille is allowed to take a lute with him to his cell. While he plays, the mice come out to listen, and the spiders suspend themselves, around the instrument.

A series of experiments conducted with flute, violins, oboe, and mouth organ, in the London zoo indicated a real interest in music on the part of scorpions and spiders. One remem- bers that whenever Gretry played a spider would settle itself upon his harpsichord. The cheetah showed a preference for gay music; the rhino- ceri were annoyed and attempted to charge the musicians; the sea -lions came to the surface and listened, pleased by all but the jazz.

Isn't there a lot of truth tucked away in those words? Shouldn't they make allmothers who have tiny, children think? I remember a certain Thanksgiving that shames and grieves me. We did not have a maid, so Mother cooked and served a delicious Thanksgiving dhmar for two guests, and our own family, After dinner the guests, my father and I hurried downtown fon an afternoon's merry -making, leaving Mother who was not strong to clean off the table and do the stacks of dishes. Mother was the one wbo de• served and should have had the haps py afternoon. And, now that I have come to a realization of the many sacrifices she made and have learned bow much help I could have been and would like nothing better than tel lighten her burdens, it is too late. That is what the writer of the let- ter suggested: "Anel by the time they marry and have children of their oWn, and learn. from experience what life means, and what children mean in:a mother's life perhaps it is too late; you may have passed on, and if not, it is still rather difficult 'to teach old dogs new tricks'!" • So the wives and mothers musi remedy 'this. They should commence with the husbands at marriage, and with the children in their very early years. 51 is really very easy to teach the children to hang up their wraps, to run errands, to keep their rooms tidy, and to do the hundred and one other little things which inculcate in them the habit of service and them sense of responsibility. A mother, like a child, needs un- derstanding, love and play. She should share these and also her household cares :with ber family.
