Music and Health.
Music, if we are to believe ancient historians, has produced some very ex- traordinary effects. The fierceness of Achilles was allayed by playing on the harp; Damon, with the same instru- ment, quieted wild and drunken youths, end. Asclepiades in a similar manner brought back seditious multitudes to temper and reason. The corybantes and effeminate priests of Cybele were incit- ed by music to cut their own flesh. Pin- dar addressed his harp thus: ‘‘Thou auenchest the raging thunder!’’ Music is also reported to have been efficacious in removing dangerous diseases. Miran- dola observes, in explanation of its be- ing appropriated to such an end, that music moves the spirits to act upon the soul as medicine does the soul by the body. Theophrastus, in his essay on ‘*Enthusiasm,’’ reports many cures up- on this principle. The Thebans used the pipe for the cure of many disorders, and Zenocrates is said to have cured several madmen. The bite of the taran- tula is said to have been cured by music, and the Phrygian pipe was recommend- ed by many of the ancient fathers as an antidote to sciatica. We could enumer- ate many other instances of the estima- tion, amounting, as it would seem, to palpable superstition, in which music was held among the ancients, but the above may be considered sufficient.— New York Ledger.

ADS OF FASHION
A natty cap is made of astrakhan with curled quill feathers standing up nt one side.
Uncut velvet will be used for milli- nery trimmings and other purposes, aud jeweled ornaments, buckles, lace, aigrets and fur are among the approved textiles.
In novelty hosiery, plaids are con- spicuous. The quality is exceedingly fine, and according to hosiery importers wae demand for high grade goods was hever greater.
Color combinations in millinery are somewhat quaint, but very pleasing. A dark blue velvet hat has plumes of sil- ver gray, with fans of velvet in blue, and an aigret in gray and white.
Embroidery of all sorts increases in popularity. Indeed the rage for this form of embellishment could scarcely go further. Very heavy laces, ribbon, silk and cut out flowers are used in ap- plique and to form spreading and in- tricate patterns,
Heliotrope in all shades is popular for autumn and early winter dresses. It is combined with many shades and col- ors, most of which are anything but artistic. Heliotrope is at its best with black, white, a peculiar shade of green very like that of the elm leaf and vari- ous tints of yellow.
A novelty wrap is shaped like an eton jacket. The body portion is of cloth elaborately embroidered and braid- ed. The sleeves are formed of double frills of Japanese crape, closely plaited and edged with lace. The high collar is of the embroidered fabric and an in- ner collar is of plaited crape.
A reception dress of royal purple vel- vet has trimmings and accessories of golden yellow. A fringe of gold beads beaded with a group of beads and gold thread makes a striking and elegant garniture. The front and sleeves are covered with yellow chiffon with gold spangles.—New York Ledger.
Butter Supplants Flowers,
Florists do not like the new fashion which decrees that butter, and not flow- ers, is the proper gift to send to a friend, man or woman, about to sail for Eu- rope. Butter appears to be rather a strange token of friendship, but just now it is the proper thing to send asa farewell offering to one about to go down to sea in a liner. The butter is sent in the care of the ship’s steward, who sees to it that it is served at the table on the numerous or rare occasions when the recipient of the dairy gift ap- pears in the dining saloon, The gift is not sent as a reflection upon the butter served by the shiv. Nor is it cheap but- ter. Indeed the butter is very expensive, for it costs from 60 cents to $1 a pound. It is the product of milk from the very best bred cows. Five pounds is the quantity usually purchased. That is sufficient to last a passenger six or seven days at sea—or even more, if he or she becomes seasick.—New York Commercial.

A woman writes from Ramiport City, on the Yukon river, about housekeeping in the Klondike. ‘‘It is impossible to escape the dirt,’’ she says. ‘‘Every pore of the skin is filled with it, and all clothing is ruined. There is some sort of mineral deposit—gold perhaps— which acts upon the skin and clothing ‘nd grinds into them. Washing does not remove it, but produces a gummy suhstance, which the strongest soap won't cut. This dirt is the hardést thing I have toendure. I like the country. The air is fine and clear, with glorious sunsets on mountain and river. We have an $500 log cabin—just a hut, with one room, one window, a bunk and a place for a stovepipe. There are no beds. In the whole town there is but one cot, with mattress, and that is ours. Our cabin is situated on a hill com- manding fine views of both bends in the river.
‘“‘There are about 400 inhabitants here. The newcomers, like ourselves, are well provisioned. Those who have been here all summer have but little and poor prospects of more. The situa- tion is alarming. We were aroused night before last, after midnight, by a summons to go down to the store and attend a meeting for the purpose of pre- venting a steamer, which had just come in, from taking her provisions any far- ther. Dried fruits, butter, evaporated potatoes, kerosene oil, etc., are $la pound. A stove which sells in Seattle for $12 brings $45 here and is not to be had except occasionally. We have every- thing almost in one form or another except fresh meats. Eggs and milk we have desiccated and condensed, likewise potatoes and onions, and we have excel- lent appetites.
‘*There are three other ladies in the town. In fact, we are the most unique crowd that ever came to a mining camp. Lawyers, doctors, brokers, teachers, so- ciety men—all are here.’’——New York Post.
Corn Bread Dying Ont.
In discussing the possibilities of a vast corn trade with Europe in the fu- ture it might be well to notice that corn as a breadstuff is rapidly losing its pop- ularity at home. Many Americans 40 years of age and older remember well when corn bread was a portion of their diet six days in the week. Especially was this true in the southern states. The art of cooking hoecake, corn dodger and egg bread reached a high standard of excellence, and wheat flour came in for use only once or twice a week. All this has been changed.
Even the southern negroes have large- ly deserted corn bread for flour bread, and the hoecake, corn dodger and corn muffin now exist chiefly in our songs and literature. Not one cook in a thousand now knows how to make the corn bread of old, and this fact in con- nection with the more abundant wheat has reduced the consumption of corn bread to a mere trifle comparatively. While we are educating Europe, ther, as to the delights of corn bread we might learn the same lessons, which we seem well nigh to have furogtten. Good corn bread is hard to beat, and it would cer- tainly be wise not to turn over entirely to our bogs and cattle nor yet to the poor of Europe tha life giving elements of the American corn crop.—Dallas News.
