hymns.
deep*" says a noted writer. Amt so it
does. Often, however, the original
meaning of a song, or the music to
which it is sot is very different from
tho Inter interpretations. Take “Homo,
Sweot Homo, for instance. How it
has swent tho world’s heartstrings
since John Howard Payne, "tho man
without a home," wrotoitin 1S32. Yet
it was part of an opera which prgvodi
a dismal failure. The words are not
too beautiful and altogether would not
bo called good poetry, and it is doubt
ful if they would havo carried peopk>
by storm lmd it not been for the ex
quisite air to which they wore adapted.
And the air is said to be taken, from
an old Persian or Arabian lovo song.
This song, however, living on its bor
rowed music, won Mr. Payne such
lasting honors that years after his
death a rich American dug up his
bones and brought them to this coun
try to be burief again.
Other specimens of metamorphosed
meaning equally striking could be
quoted by columns. Our patriotic
“America’ is sung to John Bull’s
“God Save tho Queen,” and “Yankee
Doodlo” was borrowed by our embat
tled forefathers from an old ditty and
turned into ndetlunt jinglo against tho
British red coats.
Hero are some more recent oddities as
regards tho transformation of popular
airs: “When tho Robins Nest Again”
starts exactly like “Maid of Athens.”
“Wait Till tho Clouds Roll By” be
gins as does thb “Bluo Bolls of Soot-
land." Emmet’s “Love of the Sham
rock" is of tho same musical idea as
“There Is a Fountain Filled with
Blood." Any ono comparing Dixoy’s
great .success in “Adonis," “It’s Eng
lish, You Know.” to tho old song
“Flying Trapeze,’’ will llnd that thoro
is but slight modulation. By a change
of key and tho quartering of u fe w notes
a difference is made between the
"Spanish Cavalier” and the chorus
of “Poek-a-Boo.” “Twinkle, Twin
klo, Little Star, or Will You Moot Mo
at the Bar," which mot with so niuoli
favor in “Joshua Whitcomb,” is so
favor m “Joshua Whitcomb,” is so
closely allied to Claribel’s “You and I,"
that tnoy can hardly bo distinguished
one from the other.

the opera, “Billeo Tuylor.” is nothing

“Talking of life preservers,” raidlthe
truthful mariner, as ho knocked tho
aslies out of his pipe, “you remember
tho okl steamer Roustabout that used
to. run from Buffalo to Chicago? I
was mate on her tho year hoforo she
was lftst. Wo wore about sixty miles
cut of Chicago whon Mike- Lana-
jjun, who was doing something ©n the
mast fell, struck his head on th© roof
of the cabin, and bounced clean out
into tho hiko. Well, tho captain lie
seo him fall, and he stopped and hack
ed that old Roustabout quickr’ii you
could say ‘Sent!’ Miko went down
like a plummet, for ho was knocked
insensible, and I know’d thoro was no
use to lieavo a life preserver for him,
so I just hurried up tho boys in getting
tho boat down, although I didn’t ex
pect it ’ud do much good. Wo had Jim
King on board. Passenger from Chi
cago. You remember Jim King, don’t
you ?"
“Can’t say thut I do,” remarked a
bystander.
“Well, Jim was tho champion quoit
thrower in those days. He’s dead
now, poor follow, but Jim wus a boss
on throwing quoits. I toll you quoits
wore a great game in them days.
Every villago had a quoit club and tho
boys ou tho farms used to throw boss
shoos. It was something like base
ball ip these times, although I never
could sco as much fun in basobull as I
could in a good game of quoits."
“Oh, come off!” cried tho impntiont
listener. “What did Jim do. or did
ho do anything? Did the man drown?"
"Now, don’t bo ily. Who’s tollin’
this yarn?"
“Well, you don’t seem to bo,"
“Go ou 1 Go ou 1" said tho crowd.
“Well, you know, in quoits a
‘ringer’ was when you put tho quoit
around tho stake. It counted doublo.
Well, Jim he picks up tho round life
preserver—it’s like u great big quoit,
you know—and us tho cup’ll came run

if ho conics up within tho length of

“ ‘Bet you !|!20 you can’t,’ suid tho
cap’ll.
“ ‘Take you ’ said Jim, and just at
tliot minit up bobs Mike's head about
sixty foot us Lorn. Jim threw it, and

bo. Your telegram trick is too thin.
Nobody believed that transnfission by
telegraph was an accomplished fact.
Pretty soon another dispatch was re
ceived saying: ‘‘Frelingliuyson was
nominated for vice president.” “Who
is Frelinghuysen?” everybody asked.
Nobody seemed to know him. When
tho train reached Washington the
doubters found out that the telegraph
had announced the ticket correctly. It
was that incident which first gave
faith in the telegraph. The first dis
patch that passed between Baltimore
and Washington was sent by Professor
Morse from the former city to the
president of tho United States. It read:
Glory bo to God in the highest; peace on earth;

A Remarkable Statement*
I know a non-hysterical woman
who, in her trances, knows facts
which altogether transcend her possi
ble normal consciousness, facts about
the lives of people whoni she never
saw or heard of before. I am well
aware of all the liabilities to which
this statement exposes me, and I
make it deliberately, having prac
tically- no doubt whatever 0/ its
truth. My own impression is that
the trance condition is an im
mensely complex and fluctuating
thing, into the understanding of which
we have hardly begun to penetrate,
and concerning which any very
sweeping generalization is sure to be
premature. A comparative study of
trances and subconscious states is
meanwhile of the most urgent imports
ance for tho comprehension of our na
ture.—Professor William James in
Scribner’s Magazine.
