There is good reason to believe
that music is the oldest of arts
older than the human race. , It has
its roots even in subhuman sources,
for many animals give evidence of
enjoying soft, harmonious sound
and rhythm. The war-horse will
prance at the sound of martial mu
sic, some cats and does olafnlv en
joy listening to the piano, and the
influence of the eastern snake charm'
er's music is well known.
The child repeats the history of
tne race. Hence music is his tint
and most deeply rooted art instinct
and hrst means of self-expression in
any torm of art
Through music, the child, ear
tially and uncounsciously at first, but
more denmtely as tne years go by,
enters into the unseen world of
beauty. Not only this, but in music
he also finds a means of expressing
the otherwise inexpressible. For
many, a boy and girl during the try
ing years of adolescence, full of
half-fledged yearnings and 'self'
questionings, music offers a release
into a more harmonious realm,
Music makes the child partner in
the great business of creation. Each
of us is by nature a member of the
mighty chorus of the universe. No
child is willingly a mere passive
listener, and in singing or playing.
no matter how imperfectly, he be
comes what be was meant to be a
creator,
The studv of music not onlv gives
invaluabla exercise to the mind: it
also refines the whole nature. Watch
a crowd of street urchins listening
to tne right sort ot music and see
how utterly the soint of hoodlum
ism is banished.
By no means least of the benefits
bestowed by music is that of bodily
grace. :The kindergarten youngster
who sways gently to and fro as he
sings of the wind among the flowers,
the child who enjoys some sturdy
folk-song and dance, the older girl
who interprets Chopin through
rythmicmotion, ail of these are to
quiring oodiiy grace and health, a
mind and body harmoniously at
tuned.' f- . . V
ln order that these pleasures and
advantages may s be life-long posses
sions, the cornerstone of the love of
music must be laid in childhood.

Philippine Women Soon
to Join 100,000,000
World Voters. .
lime. Jaime De Veyra, wife of
one o! the representatives from the
Philippine Islands to the United
States government at Washington,
was recently in New York on a
unique mission from the Philippine
government to represent that coun
try in its true light ss a Christian
country with a high degree of edu
cation, fine schools and economic re
sourcefulness. She gave two illus
trated talks on the progress- of
women in her native land before
the women of the Woman's City
club and another before the New
York Library School at Forty-second
street.
'"'Madame De Veyra Is assisted by
Miss Bessie A. Dwyef, for many
years head of the circulation depart
ment of the library at Manila. They
are supplied with very beautiful col
ored screen pictures of the Islands,
which they nave already shown be
fore the. members of congress and
their wives in Washington.
In her hand-woven and hand-embroidered,
dress of pineapple fiber,
common to the ladies of the Philip
pine Islands, which is shaped like a
big butterfly with gauty wings, Mad
ame De Veyra told tne womd pf
continental United States some
amaaing things about her country.
In many ways the life of the Fill
pins woman is elsy, said Madame
de Veyra. Laws made for her have
combined the best of Spanish and
American precedents, and she has
come into her own with far less
struggle than either her American
or ner, Spanish sisters. Married
women may hold property in sever
alty. Thev are guardians of their
own children. Of the property
which accrues' to a married couple,
the wife is half administratrix.
These are vested rights and cannot
be taken away from her.
Professional opportunities are as
frood for women as for men in the
and of the setting sun. Women are
already members of the Philippine
Bar association a thing still im
possible in Great Britain. They are
in business for themselves, and are
successful as physicians.
Used Sleighbells in Tropics.
Not least curious among objects
of antiquity dug up in central Amer
ica and Colombia are golden images
of reptiles with tiny sleighbells tor
eyes. .
At all events, we should call them
sleighbells because, in miniature,
they are exactly like sleighbells, the
lit serving to representing the
opening 'ween the eyelids.
Full-si. u sleighbells, -mostly
gold-plated, are found in ancient
graves all over central America,
says the Philadelphia "Public Ledg
er." Usually they are of copper,
and have a loop at the top to nang
by.
What they were used for Is a
mystery. . Presumably for orna
ment, though they may hive had 'a
religious signi(icance. . Unmistak
ably they were cast In molds. "
The prehistoric inhabitants of
those , regions were exceedingly
skillful metal workers, copper and
gold being their favorite materials.
They had a process for plating with
a gold wash that Is not understood
at all today.
But it would be most interesting
to kndw how it came about that
sleighbells exactly like our own in
pattern " were made on this con
tinent centuries, and probably thou
sands of years, before the new
world was discovered.
