“Made bath charms to aooth the
savage breast." -So it la written, and I
have no reason to question it* truth In
deed, the Lazy Man ia a storage when if
cornea to the question of music. So for
as the gamut, aharpa and flats, minora,
etc., are concerned, I am at aea. I do
nor. know one note from another, and
yet 1 delight in muaic.
▲a between vocal and instrumental
music, I infinitely prefer the former.
There is nothing so sweet as the human
voice ;that ia to say when it is properly
exercised. A soft,tender an affectionate
love song from out the window as some
modern Romeo wanders through the
gardens near by, is enough to stir his
very soul and make him “dare do any
thing that becomes a man." But to
have one of these travelingbook agents
singing his little sodg, conned carefully
and learned by rote, worrying the life
out of you, is more than a flesh can
stand. A person in such a predicament
would heartily wish that he could no
more hear the music of the human
voice.

I go to church occosianally and listen
to the choir sing. Sometimes I enjoy
the music exceedingly and sometimes
exactly the opposite feeling passes over
me.
Music to a certain extent carries a
great deal of strength to religion, and
the song is a great factor iu religious
meetings. 1 love to bear such songs as
“Jesus Lover of my soul,” Rock of
Ages, cleft for me," Nearer my God, to
Tbee,” There is a fountain filled with
blood," and the like. 1 love to join iu
the singing, whether 1 have a iinq voice
or not, and 1 love to hear every voice in
the congregation swelling the chorus
aud through the medium of song giviug
praises to the Most High.
***
But deliver me from thi-se operatic
songs too often sung in churches. It is
only au humble opinion of the Lazy
Man, but he is honest iu entertaining
it. Why, it seems like the church has
been converted into a thestre, and the
choir iuto actors.
It m*y tie that there is just as much
religion in a soug, pitched to the op
eratic tune, as in any other. I’m not
questioning that. But it does seem that
tuere is a little more elegance and
show attached to it than real reeling
and religious sentiment.
I am one of those who stand by the
old regime; the days when our fathers
aud mothers worshipped aud lived their
stainless lives; when under the old log
Church’s roof they »aug the good old
songs with earnestness aud feeling; be
fore the more elegant aud refined and
operatic songs were introduced.
DISENCHANTED.
It is curi ius to note how little songs
with no merit especially in them catch
the ear of o whole nation in a few week
ami are adopted throughout the length
ami breadth of the country.
I’romiuent among such songs may be
mentioned the doleful requiem chanted
over the watery grave of the late la
mented Daniel McUinty, only to he Tor
gotten and laid aside before the more
attractive charms of the fair Annie
Roonev. It is about time some other
song was being started, aud it will not
be many months before the glories of
Anuie lioouey must fade.
***
The singers of the day delight to
wander oil' after strange gods. I am,
as a listener, more, pleased to tollow
them in their devotion to “Home,
Sweet Home,” “Anuie Laurie,” “Last
Rose of Summer,” “Swanee- River,’
and the like. A man with a heart iu
him oanuot listen to such songs without
being moved. The old friends, who
appear not to us with new faces, are
those we trust in.

Shortly we are to be treated to some
rare vocal music at the Luoy Cobh
Commencement. The course in vocal
music at the institute is a splendid one,
and the songs at it* Commencement are
among its chief attractions. The Lazy
Man will be on haud to hear them, if
he can shake off his laziness enough to
walk up town.
*•*
Instrumental music is undoubtedly
grand—to those who understand it. To
the Lazy Man; it is one of the great un
known things in the universe. He goes
• occasionally to concerts; occasionally
is touched by the pieces played pn vio
lin and flute and cornet. The piano is
the great inexplicable. The performer
runs bis fingers over the keys very
deftly, and’ baogs away at the poor old
piano unmercifully, but the music he
gets out of it doesn’t' touch the Lazy
Man. The music is there, but to the
uninterested, it isn’t very clear.
It is wonderful bow many musical
instruments are being invented nowa
days. It will not be long before the
musical inventor will pu. tongues in
every idle stone and bid them speak to
man. Of making musical instruments
there is literally no end.
mymU as comfortable a* possible until
the train should atop at Stamford, its
first way station, and same descending
passenger might make room for me.
j Reader, did you -ever stand in an ex-
j press train in full motion? Did yon ever
feel yourself swayed backward and for-
Yoa may have lost that which you lore the 1 war J, bumping one of your phrenoiog-
j ical development* against one side of
the car, and bringing the base of your
spinal column against the top of a seat
at the opposite swerve of. the train? Did
yon ever grasp blindly at nothing for
support? Did yon ever execute an in
voluntary pas seal, by way of keeping
your balance, and then grind your teeth
to see tbe two pretty young ladies be
yond laughing at your antics? If so
you will know bow to pity me during
the boor and a half between B. and
Stamford.
Hatfield went to sleep and snored: the
old lady in the gigantic bonnet ate sand
wiches and drank from a wicker flask of
excellent smelling sherry; the yonng
lady sat as noiseless as a black veiled
statue; fretful babies whimpered; old
gentlemen uttered strange sounds iu
their sleep: the lamps flared like sickly
moons overhead; and the shriek of the
train as it flew through sleeping villages
sounded like the yell of a fiery throated
demon.
“Stamford!” bawled the conductor.
At last I succeeded in dropping my
weary and stiffened limbs into a seat,
where slumber overtook me in just a
minute and a quarter, for I had been
usleep on my legs once or twice even in
my former disadvantageous attitude,
and I could scarcely believe the evidence
of my own senses when we finally thun
dered into the echoipg vastness of the
Grand Central depot in New York.
Hatfield, alive to the necessity of
catching a car before all the world of
travelers should crowd into it, stumbled
over the old lady’s ankles with small cer
emony.
“Oh, take care! You have knocke;'
the squirrel cage over!” cried she.
“Confound the squirrel cage!” shouted
Hatfield, gnashing his teeth as the an
cient dune placed herself directly in the
aisle to set the furry pet np again, there
by completely blocking np his egress.
"Serves you right. Hatfield,” said 1.
as 1 stooped to assist.
Just then the young companion of our
lady advanced, fliuging back her veil.
“Grandma,” said she, “the carriage is
Waiting. I’ll send Thomas for tbe par
cels. Mr. Clifton, I am very much
obliged to you for your politeness to iny
grandmother, who is unused to travel
ing. As to Mr. Hatfield, the less said
about > his Courtesy the better.” And
Beatrice Hale's black eyes fl;<shed dis
duinfnllv on Clarence’s cowed visage.
“Miss Hale." he stammered, “if I’d
had the least idea who yon were”
“You would have regulated your con
duct accordingly.” impatiently inter
rupted Miss Hale. Thanks—I prefer to
see people iu their true light. Mr. Clift
on,” turning grocioasly to me, “yon’ll
cull and see how grandma stands her
journey tomorrow, won’t you? Oh, thank
you! The carriage is close by."
And to this day I believe that .is the
way 1 won my wife, for Clarence Hat
field was a brilliant, showy sort of a fel
low. who far outshone me in general so
ciety. and I think Bee was incliued
rather to fancy him until that night.
But she was disenchanted now for good
and alL And Grandma Hale comes to

There i> one piece of instrumental
music, however, thst sets the very soul
of the-Laxy Man on Are. It takes every
bit of laziness out of him. Under its
influence be is a new man. He will
prance around, and danoe, and gesticu
Jate, and fight it necessary, when tbe
brass band is playing that piece.
And that piece is “Dixie.” I have
heard it add that there was no especial
merit in the music of “Dixie.” I’ll
not enter into a discussion of that ques
tion, bat have this to say: The aouth-
ern man or boy who isn’t stirred with
in his very soul by that piece needs re
generation badly. Your fathers and
mine fought to tbe mtqdc of that air.
It is good enough,and too good, for you
or me.

The only musical instruments I know
how to handle are the tin boru and die
baas drum. They are used frequently
by college boys, etc. If all the music
the Lazy Man has ever made on these
instruments could be collected it would
indeed.*MMtb tike Savage breast.” * It
would put the savage into an.everlasting
sleep.
ThzLxzy Man.
“Of all things, a night journey is the
most tedious,” said Clarence Hatfield aa
he let himself fall heavily into the stiff
and uncomfortable seat of the railway
ear, with its faded velvet enshiofis and
its back at exactly the wrong angle.for
aught approaching a nap. “I say, Clif
ton, do yon think we might smoke?”
“Well, I rather Imagine not,” said L
with a motion of my head toward the
other passengers. “Them appears to be
ladies on hoard.”
Hatfield shrugged his shoulders.
“Such ladies!”
“Well," laughed I, “they don’t appear
to be particularly stylish in manner or
costume, bnt nevertheless, my dear fel
low, the divinity or their sex hedges
them around like a wall.”
“Divinity of their bnmbng!” shortly
interrupted Hatfield. “As if these ill
dressed dowdies, with babies and band
boxes, conld possibly belong to tbe same
world with Beatrice Halel”
To this I made no answer. It did not
seem to me exactly appropriate to lng
the sacred name of Beatrice Hale into a
discussion in a place like this. Yet what
could 1 do. except to feel my cheeks flush
and the roots of my hair tingle? For 1
was unmistakably in love with Bee Hale,
and so was Clarence Hatfield.
If I were to waste quarts of ink and
reams of paper in trying to describe her
manifold charms and excellencies to the
reader, it wouldn’t do any good. Such
things have been tried before, and failed.
Let him imagine tbe fairest brunette
thut sun ever shone on, and he way
come somewhere near the mark. Suffice
it to say that she was as beautiful as a
dream, aud that Hatfield and I were
both slaves at her feet.
Which of ns did she like best? Ah.
that was tbe question! It was some
thing like the children's old game, of see
saw, “Up 1 go, down you come." Some
times 1 fancied I had a ghost of a chance
—sometimes I was convinced t'liat Hat
field was altogether the preferred, and
that I had better emigrate to Australia
at once.
“Hello!” cried Hatfield, breaking un
ceremoniously iu upon the thread of my
tnusings. “there goes the wliistle. We
shall be off directly. Thank goodness
for that!”
And he pnt his feet on the opposite
seat and prepared for as comfortable a
four hours’ ride as possible.
Clarence Hatfield and l, be it under
stood, were employes in the extensive
business of Messrs. Jenkins, Jumpertou
& Co., auctioneers, and bad been down
to the country "putting up” a sale of
swampy lots, cut into streets and squares,
according to the most approved metro
politan methods of doing such things.
It had been a dismal bnsiuess. No
vember is not an inspiring month at the
best, and a three days’ fog had conspired
against the success of “Mount Morra
Park.” as Jenkins, Jumpertou & Co. had
christened the new speculation. Yet we
had done reasonably well, and wore now
thankful enough to get back to New
York.
As the train gave its starting lunge
the door flow open, and in came a tall
old lady, in a prodigious black bonnet
and a fur cloak, surrounded by a perfect
chevaux-de-frise of squirrel cages, leath
er bags, brown paper parcels and sand
wich boxes. She was followed closely
by a younger lady, dressed in l^ick and
closely veiled, and paused hesitatingly
in front of oar seat.
“Yonng man,” said she, in a low voice,
as gruff as that of a man. “is this seat
engaged?”
Yes,” said Hatfield; “it is.”
For your feet?"
No matter what for." superciliously
replied the bead clerk of Jenkins, Jnmp-
erton & Co. “Please to pass on, old
lady. Yon’ll find seats enough beyond.”
Bnt this was a stretching of the truth.
There were no seats beyond, as the old
lady conld easily perceive, nnlesa she
choee to sjt directly opposite a red hot
coal fire or upon one of those corner ar
rangements close to the door, which was
equivalent to no seat at alL
The old lady, hesitated and changed
her heavy carpet bag from one wearied
arm to tho other. I thought of my own
saod Aunt Polly at borne, aad roee at
once.
“Pray, take this seat, ma’am,” said L
And let me put your parcel np in the
rack for yon.
Clifton, what a fool yon are!” cried
Hatfield, in an impatient sotto voce.
“Why couldn't yon have sat still and
minded your own business?”
“It is my own business,” 1 answered
brosqnely, “to see that every lady
made as comfortable as it is in the nat
ure of things to be. Now the squirrel
cage, ma’am—it’ll go very comfortably
under the seat, l think.”
Hatfield uttered a contemptuous grant,
bnt ho never offered to trust his feet off
the opposite cushions, Although the
younger woman stood - ia the aisle, un
comfortably swaying backward and for
ward with the motion of the train, until
a woman beyond, observing the state of

Curiosities About Boots.
Boots, which are only a lengthened
variety of shoes, were among the most
ancient articles of attire. Shoes extend
ing a certain height up the h|g, laced,
ornamented and of fanciful colors, were
in use by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks
and Romans. Different kinds of half
boots were worn by the Anglo-Saxons
and Anglo-Normans. In the reign of
Eld ward IV the boot proper, with tops
and spurs, was established jw an article
of knightly dress.
In the reign of Charles I a boot, wid-
at the top, made of Spanish-leather, cam
into use. Charles II introduced a high
ly decorated French boot as tin article p
C*y courtly attire. Meanwhile the boo;
or jack boot, as it was called, had be
come indispensable in tbe costume o.
cavalry soldiers and horsemen generally,
aqd was regularly naturalized by Will
bun 111 and bis followers in England.
The jack boot was strongly made, ex
tending iu length above tbe knee, wa-
large at the top and bad a very high
heel, and around the ankle ; had a' fla
leather band bearing a strong spur.—St
Louis Republic.

Aa Experiment with Hot Water.
In support of tne theory that retentioi
of waste is a potential, cause of corpn
pulency, it is 'instanced that one physi
cian cured himself by the use of ho;
water. While wider treatment- he wa*
careful not to overeat, and exclude!
from his diet some of those foods \yhicl;
are richest in fat ’producing element
bnt the dietetic restrictions were not,at
all 1 severe, so that the credit must lx
given to the hot water, a gallon or mor>
of which was drank, daily. By tbi:
means the accumulated waste was weL
washed out of the system, and a rapii
reduction in weigh: took place.' An
what is even more important, a penmi
nent ’ cure was effect6d, for when h.
stopped the treatment and ate anythin;
and everything he craved, there was in
return of the,trouble. — Boston Herald.
