Music as a Pastime
or as a Livelihood
If you wanted your son to be a
tailor, would you ask a tailor to give
him one lesson a week and then lei
him practice for one-half or one full
hour daily on making clothes? Music
is a more profound and difficult study
thnn tailoring. A grent many people
earn their livelihood through music,
lust as a great number earn their live
llhood by tailoring. If you want your
boy to reach that livelihood earning
stage, then he will have to work about
six hours a day and take at least one
lesson daily. However, If your aim
Is merely to have him study music as
a form of culture, just as one would
study French, Latin, Spanish, draw
Ing, etc., within the day’s work, de
voting a fraction of the day’s study to
each, then, of course, he will derive
a great deal of beneficial and worth
while knowledge from them all. hut
very little real anti lasting knowledge
from any particular one.—Musical Ob
server.
The Name of London
The name London is the subject ot
much discussion among philologists ot
Great Brltirln. t
One theory Is that It means "the
fort by the lake,” from the Welsh
“llyn,” lake, and “din,” a fortified
place. Another is that It is derived
from the Norse word “Lund" (dintinu
tlve “Lunden”), a sacred grove.
There Is a town In Yorkshire called
Lund, after Lund In Scandinavia, at
one time one of the chief commercial
cities in Sweden. Its merchants
traded with Britain in Homan times.
It is thought that Lund In Yorkshire.
Lund In Sweden, and Lunden, or Lon
don, were probably the sites of sacred
groves, where the priests of the
Bronze age ofTered human sacrifices
to the sun god.—Boston Transcript
Bark Vital Part of Tree
The item of » tree, also culled
trunk und bole, Is the main axis ex
tending from the roots to the crown,
or to the tip In case of an unbranclied
stem. Tree stems range from long
to short, straight to crooked and
from erect to prostrate. An examina
tion of a cross-section of n stem
will show bark, wood and pith, says
ihe American Tree Association. In
the central part of the stem Is the
tilth. About It Is the wood, which In
many trees can be divided Into the
darker heurtwood and the lighter sap
wood. Between the wood and the
bark Is a thin layer known as the
cambium. This Is the most vital part
of n tree, for it Is here that all new
wood and bark are made up.
British Coal Abundant
For her size, Great Britain has more
ami better coal than any other coun
try In the world. The coal seams, ly
ing one below another to an unknown
depth, not Infrequently cropping out
at the surface, are proof that tropical
conditions once prevailed In the iatl
Hide of these Islands. The district
which Is now Greut Britain was con
nected In primeval times with the
continent, and the coal of Englnnd
doubtless runs under the channel and
the southern part of the North sen.
continuing In the coal fields of north
ern France, Belgium and Flanders.
Baseball’s Origin
Baseball was known In various
forms In the East for years before
It received organized recognition, but
Its birthplace is a matter of dispute
Philadelphia takes the credit ns fur
back as 18.13, and New York claims
that Ms Washington club, organized
In 18ill. was the first exponent of the
actual game. Baseball ns a national
game really came Into existence In
18,r>8, with the formation of a National
Association of Baseball Players, In
eluding the clubs of New York ant
vicinity.
Tie Gulf stream Hows out of the
Gulf of Mexico li dween the coast of
Florida and the Bahamas, and then
nor)lieu: Iwardl.v along the American
coast. Its width, in the narrowest
portion. Is shout fifty miles, and its
depth some 2.000 feet. After It has
passed between the Bermudas and
the coast of Carolina it is divided
Into several streams, about 100 fath
oms deep and altogether 150 miles
wide. l'ts temperature up to this
point Is several degrees warmer than
that of the surrounding ocean.
Beyond the 40th parallel of north
intltude and the meyldian 60 degrees
west, the Gulf stream can no longer
be distinguished from the rest of
the ocean drift by temperature, mo
tion. color, salflness or otherwise. It
has no further separate existence, but
is lost in the general drift of warm
water from the southwestern Atlantic
toward Europe—a general phenom
enon having little or nothing to do
with the Gulf stream proper.
Combination More Than
Fifty Per Cent Good
In a sketch of John Hay by Charles
F. Thwing, president emeritus of
Western Reserve university, included
In his book. "Guides, Philosophers and
Friends," Is this Lincoln story told
to Doctor Thwing by Hay:
"I know that most of the anecdotes
told about Lincoln are apocryphal,”
said Mr. Hay, “but this one Is true
In the campaign which led. as It
proved, to his election, I was out with
Mr. Lincoln on the ‘stump.’
"We had a reception given to us In
one of the cities of our campaign. In
the line there came up a man who
getting close to Mr. Lincoln, said:
‘‘‘Mr. Lincoln, down our way, In
BulTnlo, we kind o' think If we can
have you and God we can pull the
old thing through.’
“Getting close, himself, to the man.
Mr. Lincoln replied:
“‘I kind C think yon are more than
half right!’ —Kansas City Stnr.
Herodotus, Diodorus and Plutarch
give us a few dazzling glimpses of
wealthy men In antiquity. First of
them, almost lost in tha mists of leg
end, was the Egyptian Pharaoh Ra
meses HP—also known as Rhamp
slnltus—who reigned about 3,000
years ago. He surpassed all prede
cessors in the wealth he possessed
and In his fondness for its accumu
lation. Diodorus estimates this pha
raoh’s fortune at 400,000 talents,
which would be about $500,000,000 In
actual money today. In the purchas
ing power of that period It was
equivalent to twenty times this
amount. Raineses, therefore, was
worth $10,000,000,000 in the buying
value of his day.
To show how far money would go
a thousand years before Christ, It Is
only necessary to mention that a fat
ox could be bought for $1 or less;
that a bushel of wheat would bring
12 cents In the market; that a day’s
wage was from 12 to 20 cents.—New
York Times.
Hou) Vanderbilt Earned
First Hundred Dollars
Cornelius Vanderbilt, later to be the
commodore, was a strong, big, healthy
boy who worked on the farm and
tended his father’s boat. He was a
great lover of horses and when he was
six years old raced bareback with oth
er boys. He played trunnt to go sail
ing and swimming and gallivanting
across the countryside and sometimes
he talked of running away to sea.
On May 1, 1810, he sought $100 from
his mother, to buy himself a harbor
boat, a piragua, and become a boat
man. She promised him the money If
he would plow and plant a certain
rocky eight-acre field by May 27, his
sixteenth birthday. He persuaded the
neighborhood boys to help him and on
the morning of his birthday he got
the $100. About seventy years later,
he had Increased the $100 to $100,000,
000.—Meade Minnigerrode, In Collier’s
Weekly.
