Seniors Hold Vell Attended Parly
Tho Juniors of tho High School were
groatly disappointed Friday evening
when, after going to nearly every
Senior home in town and even to the
Cnlhoun homo five miles northwest con
cluded that there was no Senior party.
However, between five and seven
o'clock Saturday evening the Seniors
did go to tho Calhoun home, and when
the Juniors arrived looking for tho
party, the Seniors played somo very
clover stunts which soon discouraged
the bunch, nnd they returned homo
with unuttered disappointment. The
Seniors spent tho evening with unique
and interesting gamo3, music and
dancing. At a late hour a delicious
two course luncheon was served, after
which thoy roturned to town, voting it
one of tho most enjoyable parties of
the season.
Next time a search is planned it
would bo ndvisablo to have moro gaso
line nnd a hotter bunch than the Juniors
as the Seniors have had five parties
this winter, four of which lmvo been
successful and almost unmolested.

Seville's Tower of Girald.
From Its great antiquity nlono if
from nothing else It Is plain that the
Glrnlda ot Seville could not have been
studied from the tower of the Madison
Square Garden in Now York, which
the American will recall when he sees
it. If tho case must be reversed nnd
we must allow that the Madison
Square tower was studied from the
Glrnlda, we must still roeognlz6 that
It Is no servile copy, but In Its frnuk
Imitation has a grace nnd beauty
which achieve originality. Still, the
Glrnlda Is always fhe Glrnlda, and.
though there had been uo Saint Gnu
dens to tip its summit with such n fly
ing footed nymph ns poises on our
tower, the figure of Faith which
crowns It Is at least a good weather
vano and from Its olllcc of turning gives
the mighty bell tower its nnme. Long
centuries before tho tower was a bel
fry It served the mosque, which the
cathedral now replaces, as a mlnnret
for tho muezzin to call tho faithful to
prayer, but it wns then only two-thirds

In Bengal hero nro about 70,000.
000 of people, and they boast of
perhaps the best culture In Indln at
tho present time. Tho language as a
written language is only fifty years
old. Though for over n thousand
years it has been a dialect, thero Is in
Indian history unfortunately no tmco
of Bengali having been nn important
literary tongue. Tho language orig
inates from Sanskrit, the mother
tongue from which every other Indian
language has borrowed Its alphabet,
grammar and vocabulary: but, unlike
the others. Bengali never shrinks
from gathering new materials. There
nro numerous Persian. French. Arn
blc nnd English words Incorporated in
it. und the fwondcr of it Is that. In
stead of having been degraded Into
somo vulgar form like pidgin Engilsl.,
Bengali hns become the most literary,
scientific and perhaps the most phllo
sophlc of modern Indian languages.

ORIGIN OF THE HARP.
Evolved From tho Lyre of tho High
Priest of Osiris.
The history of tho piano counts ns a
dny compared to tho harp. Wo have
authentic records that as early as
1800 B. O. tho first lyro was evolved
from tho mind of the high priest of
Osiris, who In one of his dally walks
along tho banks of the river Nile found
an empty tortoise shell spanned with
dried ligaments. Happening to strike
It, lie noticed that It gave forth pleas
lug sounds, and he nt once made an
Instrument on tho plan of tho tortoise
shell.
From the lyre It wns but un easj
step to tho harp, now the most famom
Instrument in the world. Milesius, one
of the Phoenician priests, carried it
with him In his conquest to Ireland,
and there lie planted it among the mu
sic loving Celts in 1200 It. G. The royal
Instrument became a controlling fea
ture In druidlcal worship, and the harp
ist or bard ranked with royalty, the
prophet and the priest. The drulds
advanced the harp from eleven to thir
ty-two strings and crowned their ef
forts in Its improvement by the evolu
tion of tho pillar, which has ever since
found universal adoption.
Our modern harp consists of forty
live or foity-hovt'ii strings, seven ped
als ono for each note in tho octavo
and tho wonderful Instrument shares
with tho piano and organ the faculty
of being autonomous that is to say, It
jioeds no accompaniment and furnishes
botli melody and harmony. Miss Lo
