"And besides the' hymn tunes," said the organist, whose daily occupation - was that of plumnber and ieeman for the village. -we alwa~ys have two se lections from the choir, from real Sclasia music. generalily from one of - Hander's or Haydn's oratorios." "Why. that is good news." said the minister, who was no mean musician and had a ecltivated taste and car. "B8ut dont you find the music rather dImcult for untrained singers?!" "WelL they aren't untrained, for 1 train 'em." said the organist 'with some resentment. "'And, besides-that, where the music's diffcult 1 alter it for 'em.

Before the moods of genius the world must ever bow in awe, for is It not to the wayward wanderings from the normal that inspiration Itself Is due? says a writer in London Lady. The gloomy moods of Beethoven are tradtional. but every time they en wrapped his spirit there flowed from his pen the most noble of scores. Turning to Schubert. we find that it was in the gay moods of the German Inn that his genius worked. Under their sway the -Serenade" and many other Immortal themes were penned on a tavern table, any scraps of paper being used that came to hand. Pa ganini was so wholly the vIctim of moods that It was no unusual thing for an audience to wait in vain for hi! contribution to a concert prograin. When due to appear some fantasy of the moment would impel him to re Imain in his poverty stricken room, grimly toying with the Instrument which should have been moving his hearers to tears. Resist Melancholy. Never give way. to mnelaucholy. Re sist It steadily, for the habit will en cuah. I once gave a lady two and twenty recipes against melancholy one was a bright fire: another to re member all the tileasant things said tc and of her; another to keep a box of sugar plums on the chitmney piece and a kettle . Stuering onx the bob. I thought ti.' mere tritlingt at the mo met, but have in after life discovered how true It is that these little pleasures often banish melancholy better than higher or more exalted objects; that ne means ought to be thought too tritlli which can oppose it either In ourseires or otber..-ydfed y Smith. MAGNETISM. Some of the Peculiar Properties of Th Strange Force. The true nature of magnetism such, of course. Is not known. A that we can be sure of Is that mal netic attraction does not radiate on ward in all directions as does ligh but simply acts along lines consistir of closed curves and called lines < force, these lines connecting the tw poles and not extending very far on ward between them. These curv4 may be found very nicely by placing I horseshoe magnet under a thin she of paper and sprinkling iron filings c top. The filings will collect along tt lines, Now, as to the different kinds < magnets, there are natural. artifcL and electro magnets. The natural on( are found as magnetic ore in the eartl the artillcial ones are made by strokiz a piece of iron or steel with a ma net, and the electro magnets are cau ed by the action of an electric curren Some peculiar thin, have been n< ticed in regard to magnetism. amo: which are the following facts: It has been observed that fre tror that have rested in one position du ing the summer months are often big1 ly magnetized, no doubt having bee caused by the magnetism of the eart itself by the process known as indui tion. Other Iron articles that stay I one position and do not come in coi tact with fire or other heat are ofte found in the same condition, such : Iron bars to jail windows and lrc rallings in front of houses. The most peculiar observation mad< however, was that the upper part c the steel tire of a carriage wheel a tracts the north pole of a magne while the bottom part, or part In coi tact with the earth. attracts the sout pole. This Is in the northern hem sphere only and is fully In accord wit the theory of induced magnetism. O -ourse In the southern hemispher where the earth is under the infiuenc of the south magnetic pole. the cond ions are reversed. A magnet dipped into boiling watt loses a great part of Its magnetisn which is miraculously restored to it o becoming cool again. A sharp blow given to a magnet wi cause It to lose Its magnetism. Als the application of heat will have like effect. If a magnetic needle be placed ove a rapidly revolving plate of copper. a though It be separated from It by thick plate of glass. the needle wi revolve In the same direction as th plate.-Ezehange. THE ELEPHANT IN BATTLE. Most Docile Yet Courageous and Faith ful of Animals. Of the docility of the elephant ther is no need to multiply examples. It I said that in India native women soea times when called away Intrust thel babies to the care of -the handed one. confdent that they will be safe an tenderly handled. But of all elephant stories surely tb finest is that which tells how th standard bearing elephant of the PeWst -wa won a great victory for Its Ma ratta lord. At the moment wher th elephant had been told to halt Its ma hout was killed. The shocle of batti closed around it. and the Mahratt forces were borne back, but still th elephant stood, and the standard whic It carried sti flew, so that the Peisi wa's soldiers could not believe the they were indeed being overcome an: rallying. In their turn drove the enem backward till the tide swept past th rooted elephant and left It towerin colossal among the slan. The figi was over and won, and then the would have had the elephant mov from the battlefield. but It waited sti for the dead man's voice. For three days and nights It remak ed where It had been told to remais and neither bribe nor threat woul move It til they sent to the village c the Nerbudda, a hundred miles awa: and fetched the mabout's little son. round eyed, lisping child, and then : last the hero of that victorious da3: reembering how Its master bad ofte In brief absence delegated authority t the child. confessed its allegiance an with the shattered battle harnes clanging at each stately stride swun slowly along the road behind the bo0 -London Times.
