William Fast wastmoele lit fo au ieeirl a year past in eornpo. b numbers, iue1nding entractes and inter- mezzosh, heard in the Darling of the Gods. With Mr. Belaseo he has studied. Japanese music from. every side. So thor- oughly did they become inspired with; the possibilities, musically, for the new play that they decided to include in their or- chestral arrangements several instru- ments peculiar to Japan. These are _the biwa, samisen, koto, tsudzunmi, and fry e. They are played on the stage by native Japanese performers. the quaint melodies blending with the music of the large or- chestra in front. The music in The Darling of the Gods bears a unique relation to the play. Pro- 'tagonists and antagonists of conal is miscalled "Japanese" music assert that it out -1v agnem's ']Wagner in descriptive- ness—that there is no such thing as "music" in Japan.

Among the most beautiful women in London society is the Countess of Air - lie, who still retains the loveliness of. feature, complexion and expression that made her famous as Lady Mabel Gore. The fact that her hair has now grown white if anything enhances her brilliant Irish beauty and gives the effect of powder. She is a widow, her husband, the earl, having been killed in a cavalry charge in the Boer war. It is whispered that her widowhood is shortly to be broken. No woman during its continu- ance has been made and refused so many offers. The successful man is said to be an American multimillionaire, who has taken up his residence in England, himself a widower, and still young in looks. e... Main Thing, Don't Worry. (Ottawa Journal.)

Ontario statistics classify and sub- divide this worry into sub -heads, under relic cue, business, love. domestic trou-. Liles and other causes of mental discom- fort, but the plain word worry in each case expresses tits cause of the mental unbalancing of the patient.

Over two hundred thousand rats - 202,7S2 to be precise—have been caught at the London docks within the last live weeks. They have fallen victims to the official rat-catchers, who visit every ship that conies into port and do their best to rid it of live stock of the rodent variety. "We are very glad. to see them," said on officer of a South American grain ship on Saturday. "We tante here fairly swarming with the vermin, but since the rat-catchers' visit I can scarce- ly see one.
