    THE DBCAYBD MUSIC TEACHER

Mm Bh tto Bmd Taken On* of Her

The ordinary parent or guardian of a
girl with a "turn for munlc" will very
probably make hla choice of a teacher
> from those to whom he listens with the
greatest pleasure, forgetting that execu
tive skill and the gift of Imparting
knowledge are more often found sepa
rate than together, says the National
Review. The partially successful nrtlst,
then, Is wont to fall back upon such
teaching as ho can get If he wants to
make a livelihood out of his profession,
and so enormous Is the number of those
| V who wish to take music lessons, If not
to “go In for" music thoroughly, that
if the moderately efficient teachers have
hitherto had small reason to despair of
getting profitable pupils. These worthy
rf- people, however, will before long be
Binging a very different song; In faot,
something like a repetition of the dirge
performed by the respectable "gentle
women" of the last generation, who,
after taking to teaching music for a
living on the strength of a dozen le#
sons taken when they were young and
comfortably off, found their circle of pu
pils diminishing as the taste for music
widened and deepened. For such as
these the Increase In the number and
the rise In the efficiency of the regular
schools of music has been their doom,
for not merely in London, where the de
cayed lady teacher never flourished,
but In every country town the standard
of taste has left them far behind, and
nearly all such centers of their employ
ment are now “worked” either by actu
al representatives of the great educa
tional Institutions of London, or their
Sy places are filled by younger artists, ed
ucated at such places as the Royal
Academy of Music or the Royal Col
lege of Music, the principle of whose
Joint organisation In the matter of lo
cal examinations and the like, has been
doing a most Important work all over
‘ England during the short time of Its
existence. That inefficient teachers of
art should have the bread taken out of
their mouths is not a legitimate subject
for regret, though hard cases could no
doubt be cited. Just as they can against
such a work as that done by the organ*
lsatlon of charity.

UNIVERSITY SETTLEMENTS,

to IoItIbi tin Froblom.
In a recent sermon Dr. Farkhurat
proposed that rich women should have
the names of poor women on their call
ing lists, and should formulate a sys
tem by which they could convey to
their leas fortunate slaters the methods
that hold In every well-regulated home
and are known only to the careful and
thrifty housewife. The Idea Is. In short,
the same that Is In vogue at the college
settlements, where higher Intelligence
la valuable In masking superiority and
assisting the well-bred to live down to
the level of their neighbors, equally as
they are able to lift the unintelligent to
their level. The work at the university
settlement comes more nearly striking
the bull’s eye of the social problem
than any other branch of philanthropy.
Perhaps no work In the whole garment
of charity comes so nearly being a la
bor of love as the college settlement
work. The college graduate who Is
eligible to the sacred charge of residing
among the poor for the purpose laid
out—I. e., that of Improving their con
dition through object lessons and dally
contaot and personal sympathy—must
have, In addition to a superior Intelli
gence, not only a rare philosophy, but
also a graoe of spirit that Is of divine
origin. I should feel sorry to see the
society women make an attempt to fur
ther this work by the feeble imitation
of spirit which the organised charity
worker would bring Into It. Society li
a work In Itself, and the woman whc
meets Its demands la all unfitted tc
benefit the poor by her personal con
tact. The society woman Is sweetly
satisfied with stereoscoplo views of pov
erty, as exhibited to the board of man
agers of the usual popular charity
Women play at precedence in charity
work, the same as they do In rugs and
furniture and pictures and pedigree
Visitation committees to teach the poor
would be another travesty on charity
and heaven forbid Itt
EVOLUTION EVEN HERB.
Iks Dog's Bask Baa Become More Ex
pressive as His Culture Advances.
The most curious Imitation which we
End In dogs Is as to the measure of
expression to which they have attained.
Among the savage forefathers of the
modern dog the characteristic of all
their utterance was, to a great extent,
involuntary, and once begun the out
cry was continued In a mechanical man
ner. The effect of advancing culture on
the dog, however, has been gradually
to decrease this ancient undifferentiated
mode of expression by howling and yelp
ing, and to replace It by the much more
speech-like bark, says a writer In Sc rib
Mrs Magazine. There la some doubt
whether doge possessed by savages
have the power of uttering the sharp,
specialised note which Is so character
istic of the civilized form of their spe
cies. It Is clear, however, that If they
have the power of thus expressing
themselves they use It but rarely. On
the other hand, our high-bred dogs have
»'■' to a great extent lost the power to ex
press themselves In the ancient way.
;',i Many of our breeds appear to have be
come Incapable of ululating. There Is
no doubt but the change in the mode ol
expression greatly Increases the capa
bility of our dogs to set forth their
y States of grind. If we catch a high-bred
dog—one with a wide range of sensibili
ty., ties, which we may find in breeds whtcb
H have long been closely associated with
man—we may readily note five or six
f V varieties of sound In the bark, each of
ijsf. which Is clearly related to a certain
state of mind. That of welcome, of fear,
1) of rage, of doubt and of pure fun are
■■fV almost always perfectly distinct to the
educated ear, and this although the ob
V’'- server may not be acquainted with the
creature. If he knows him well he may
be able to distinguish various other in
tonations—those which express Impa
tience, and even an element of sorrow,
This last note verges toward a howl.

ADVENTURES Of A BELL.
■ -V
In a Church* Steeple, Hailed In River,
Now In Mormondon.
There Is a bell now hanging over a
private Rchonlhouse of a Mormon
prophet In Salt Lake City which has a
curious and somewhat amusing history.
It was the first church bell that ever
rang out over the plains of Iowa, hav
ing been erected In the tower of the
First Presbyterian church of Iowa City.
A few years after Its Installation trou
ble arose between the pastor and the
people over the question of salary,
which resulted In the former's making
in attempt to capture and carry away
the bell to “square accounts." The good
man had gone so far as to secure a hol
der and ascend to the roof of the
church, when the church oftlclals got
wind of the affair and rushed to the
rescue of their property. They permit
ted the bell to be lowered to the ground,
but then seized upon It, loaded It In a
wagon and drove away. The ladder wns
also simultaneously removed, leaving
the enraged parson wildly gesticulating
from his pulpit In the tower. This ex
citing event In the early days of Iowa
City was promptly embalmed in verse
by a local poet. The subsequent history
of this same bell has a touch of romance
about It. The "pillars” of the church
who took away the prize In the wagon
serried It, as'afterward appeared, to a
•Iver near at hand and burled It in th^
channel. As It happened, one of the citi
zens concerned In the business after
Ward developed a sympathy with the
Mormons. He Imparted Information
sonceinlng the bell to another of like
lympsthles, and through them Its re
noval was effected. It was conveyed se
sretly to the vicinity of Bloomington—
now Muscatine—on the banks of the
Mississippi river, and there deposited In
he channel of a stream known as Dev
i's creek. Thence it was carried to a
lolnt near Montrose, 111., where It re
mained for some years burled In the
land. It was then exhumed and carried
by some Mormons to Kanesvllle, In the
neighborhood of Council Bluffs, from
which point It was conveyed by them on
their journey across the plains to Its
oresent resting place. It was not until
*wenty years after that the original pos
sessors of the bell found out where It
had gone. Upon the completion of the
Pacific railway some parties from Iowa
City, on their journey acrosB the conti
nent, stopped off at Salt Lake City.
There they discovered an old bell sur
mounting a private schoolhouse, and
upon Its margin the familiar words:
‘First Presbyterian church of Iowa
City, 1816." Notice of the fact was
oromptly communicated to the officers
3f the Iowa City church. Correspond
ence was opened with the Mormon au
thorities, but so high was the value
placed upon It as a spoil taken from the
gentiles, that, strangely enough. It was
decided to let the old bell remain a
voiceless trophy In the far-off land of
'ts captivity.
TORTURED BY THE SIOUX.
1 Seout Tells How He Wes Initiated
Iuto Sitting Bull’s Tribe.
Frank Orouard, the Indian scout,
who Is now living in St. Joseph, Mo.,
has recovered from the surgical opera
tion In which an arrow head was re
moved from his groin after having been
mbedded there for nearly a dozen
years. He was captured, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, by Sitting Bull
ind a small band of followers when 19
years old, and remained with the In
dians during the next six years, a great
er portion of the time In the camp of
Sitting Bull, through whose Influence
he was saved from torture and death.
‘From the time of my capture and up
to 1872,” he said the other day, "I was
not required to undergo any of the self
nfllcted tortures of the Sioux, but after
( became one of them, to all Intents and
purposes, I knew what to expect. While
we were camped where Glendive, Mont.,
now stands, the whole tribe gathered
one day about and I was Informed that
I was to be put to the test. All the In
dians gathered around, taking positions
where they could watch my face. Sit
ting Bull, No Neck, Gall, Four Horns,
Little Asstnlbolne and other head men
of the tribe sat near me smoking their
pipes. Four warriors squatted on each
side of me and with needles raised up
the flesh between the shoulder and the
elbow on each arm and cut out pieces
the size of a pea, taking 480 pieces out
of'each arm. The skin and flesh were
taken off In live rows on each arm. It
was not painful at first, but before they
were through there was a stream of
agony pouring .from my arms to my
heart that was almost unbearable. I did
not open my lips or make a sound while
they were torturing me, although the
operation lasted four hours. The next
time I was tortured all my eyebrows
and eyelashes were pulled out. After
that I went through the tortures as sto
ically as the Indians themselves, even
Including the tortures of the sun dance,
where horsehair ropes were tied In the
muscles of the breast and back and
torn out by sheer force."
Secrets of The'.r Lives.
Every man’s life, no matter how hum
ble, would furnish an Interesting book
If cleverly written. You can’t always
tell by a glance at a man what his past
has been. There is a humble carpenter
In town who was the prize orator at an
eastern college, says the Atchison
Olobe. Not far from the home of the
writer of this there lives an ugly, de
crepit old woman who was considered
In her youth the handsomest girl in
Kentucky. Poems were written about
her, men went crazy over her and duels
were fought by jealous admirers. Yet
phe married a worthless man who got
drunk and abused her. The Intensely
religious life followed by another man
In town Is the result of remorse over
having caused the death of a comrade a
great many years ago. A woman who
was once presented at court In England
Is not admitted to the best society In
Atchison. A highly respectable citizen
sends tl.COO a year away to the con
science fund at Washington. Young
people are Interesting for what they are,
but the old folks are more interesting
for what they have been, If they could
be Induced to tell the story.
Boaebtuh Over a Thousand Years Old.
The famous rose bush of Hllcleshelm,
on the River Innerste in Germany, is
said to be over 1,000 years of age. The
great King Charles Is said to have
planted this rose bush in the year 800
A. D.. About 100 years ago this rose
bush died down to the ground, but It
has since grown from the same root to

I MONTE CARLO'S PATRONS.
-:—,—
The Ladies Are the Moat 1'rofltable Cas
tomera at Gaming.
The English, the Americans and the
French are probably the most remu
nerative patrons of Monte Carlo, and It
Is to Switzerland and not to the frontier
of Italy that the vast majority of pleas
ure-seekers repair In summer, says the
London Telegraph. Again, at the very
period when the Casino people wish to
allure English visitors to the Riviera
the London season Is nt Its height and
the parliamentary session has as yet
shown no sign of waning. The Atlantic
steamships are bringing to Europe every
week shoals of American tourists, but
our transatlantic visitors usually pass
the summer In London or Paris, or at
English or French watering places, and
await cooler weather before they Jour
ney down south. Another suggestion
made to the perplexed administration
Is that a club for the use of gentlemen
visitors should be established In con
nection with the Casino, It being pro
posed to utilize for the purpose the
premises of the Hotel Monte Carlo, but
It Is difficult to see that the financial
prosperity of the Casino company would
be Increased by supplementing the ex
isting trlpot with a club. Visitors who
really belong to cosmopolitan clubland
can easily become members of the Cer
cle de la Mediterranee at Nice, and
after all, It Is not the serious players,
the scientific operators at rouge et nolr,
who despise the merry but frivolous
game of roulette, that are the most lu
crative customers at the Casino. At
trente-et-quarante It Is really possible
to win very large sums of money, not.
Indeed, to break the bank—since Napo
leon's dictum of the big battalions
eventually winning still holds and al
ways will hold good—but enough to
cause the administration to close a par
ticular table for a few hours. At rou
lette, however, for the winner of any
considerable amount there are possibly
100 who, sooner or later, will be utterly
and hopelessly decaves, or "cleaned
out." Moreover, in modern times It has
been the lady punters who. In the aggre
gate, bring the greatest amount of
grist to the mill of the Casino company.
It is not that the ladles often go to the
maximum of stakes *.o be realized—they
are In general too timorous for that—
but they play recklessly and they con
tinue to play until they have lost their
last 5-franc piece on the tapis vert, and
a club from which Indies were excluded
would be bereft of the contributions of
the sex who are, as gamesters, not less
adventurous and perhaps a little more
incorrigible than men.
BOGUS BEER AND SMOKE.
A Worldly Criticism of Two Great Re
formatory Agtucles of the Age.
It Is said that the non-alcoholic imi
tation of beer which Bishop Fallows Is
selling In his Chicago chiych saloon
looks like beer, tastes like beer, foams
like beer, and has so many of the other
qualities of beer that It Is calculated to
deceive Hans Breltman himself. This
being the case, Is it moral? When
Mulberry Sellers strove to produce the
sensation of warmth and cheerfulness
by putting a lighted candle In the stove
was he truthful and heroic or menda
cious and cowardly? The question is
not a light one. It goes deep. In addi
tion to Bishop Fallows’ imitation beer
we have thrust upon as an alleged
agency of reform a patent pipe which
can be loaded with tobacco and smoked
In the ordinary way, except that the
smoker, who seems to be drawing deep
draughts of consolation and philosophy
from It, Is not getting a single whiff of
the reality. He is merely deceiving
himself with a delusive dream of com
fort. Is this reform? If It Is there is
reason for believing that hades will be
the most thoroughly reformed place In
the universe, for there, according to
the version of a sacred poet whose
scriptures have the authority of ven
erable antiquity, men as shadows will
Indulge the shadows of their unmas
tered habits, drinking church reform
beer and smoking patent reform pipes
forever and ever without the possibil
ity either of satisfaction or satiety.
And after having tried this for only a
short time one of the greatest dignita
ries of the place declared that he would
rather be a tramp or a Chicago brokei
on earth than the most respected and
honored potentate In all sheol. The
mocking reality of such pinchbeck lmi
tatlons of alluring vice as the patent
pipe has semething Infernal about it.
Homer was not mistaken on that point.
There can be no virtue In pretending to
be delightfully vicious. The way to
reform is to reform. There is no other
way.
A PECULIAR RUNAWAY.
Triad to Swim the Monongahela Hitched
to t Sleigh.
It was the experience of only a horse
but It was such as to raise the hair ol
all who witnessed It, says the McKees
port Times. The animal belonged tc
Jacob Keu or Market street and, aftet
running off and swimming half way
across the river. It was returned to its
owner uninjured. Yesterday afternoon
Mr. Kell left his home In this city in a
sleigh and went to the residence of John
Sinn In Lincoln township. He tied his
horse in a large coal shed near the
house. Shortly afterward Mr. Slnn'f
hired man drove up with a load of coal
and, not knowing of the presence of the
animal on the Inside, commenced pitch
ing the coal through a window In the
shed. Mr. Kell’s horse frightened, broke )
loose and started for home. Up hil) ;
and down hill it dashed at a reckless
pace, frightening numerous pedestrians
along the way. The horse Anally
reached the Monongahela river and,
nothing daunted, started in to swim to
the other side, dragging the sleigh wltl
lt. The river was full of ice, but the
animal swam out into the current and
had succeeded in getting about half waj
across, when it became chilled by the
Icy water and turned back. It reaches
the shore in safety and was caught anc
returned to its owner. A peculiar fea
ture of the runaway 'was that the
sleigh and harness were not damages'
to any great extent and the horse es
caped injury, although exhausted bj 1

and Young Swan* Enr/ Year.
A new count in the indictment
against women in the matter of her
craving for plumage ornamentation
is found in the way in which it is
said the needs of her dressing table
are supplied.
An English journal warns the
London ladies that their powder
puffs, those airy necessities of the
toilet, are heavy with the blood of
slaughtered innocents.
it is stated that as many as 20,000
young swans—cygnets, as they, are
sailed—are killed every year to
supply the dainty puff, to say nothing
of innumerable young birds of the
eider duck and wild goose variety.
The bulk of these are imported—the
swan and geese from the islands of
the Baltic and from Norway and
Sweden, and the eiders from the
northern and more icebound seas.
One cygnet will make nearly a
dozen average-sized ‘'puffs,” which
show how many women must be, to a
greater or less extent, addicted to
the use of powder.
The puff trade is highly profitable,
as may be judged from the fact that
the down of a cygnet costs a little
more than twenty five cents, the poor
creature often being plucked alive so
that it may bear another crop, while
the puffs are sold at from seventy
five cents upward, nicely mounted in
bone and blue or pink satin, which ad
juncts amount to comparatively noth
ing.
The ladies of Paris and Vienna are
the largest consumers of puffs, owing
chiefly to their fastidiousness in cast
ing aside puffs as soon as they lose
‘.heir pristine delicacy.
What Is Nerve?
“I used to think,” said Mr. Grate
bar, “when I read of .generals calmly
dictating dispatches amid the carnage
and uproar of battle, what nerve!
But now as I try to write a letter here
at home with the two older chil
dren in tlie parlor playing the piano
and singing with the vigor and voice
of youth, the two younger children in
the dining-room learning their les
is one; two times two is two; three
times three is three,’ and ‘Did the cat
catch the rat? No, the cat did not
catch the rat; why did no( the cat
catch the rat?’ with a carpet Sweeper
obligato by Mrs. Oratebar, and an oc
rasional variation by the two younger
children racing through the hall,
coupled with a grand instrumental
vocal staccato in the parlor, why I
say to myself, ‘No, no; the true test
of nerve comes not in the stormier
scenes of life, but amid the delightful
repose of home.’ ”
Imperial Gifts.
Catalan!, like most prima donnas,
had a great weakness for showing
off her jewelry. “You see dis brooch?”
she would say; “de emperor of
Austria gave me dis. You see dese
ear-rings? De emperor of Kussia gave
me dese. You see dis ring? De
Emperor Napoleon gave me dis,” and
so on. Braham, the tenor, in imita
tion of this, would say, pointing to
his umbrella: “You see dis? De
emperor of China gave m3 dis.”
Then, pointing to his teeth, “de
emperor of Tuscany gave mo dese.”

At least one collection of postage
