The fatality of all systems of short hand Is that what seems easy to tbe eye of filial piety may t»e terribly diffi cult to the cold gaze of a stranger. Of the Innumerable systems of short hand that were tbe vogue a century ago how many survive today? asks a London writer. Fame and fortune still await tbe man or woman who can In vent a system that will appeal to the reader as effectively as to the original writer, rerhaps If we were to redis cover the lost shorthand writing of the ancient Romans we might find our selves on ths road toward a solution of the problem. For the Romans were on affectionate terms with shorthand. Did not Sue tonius, speaking of Caligula, express surprise that an emperor of so many promising parts should nevertheless be an Ignoramus in shorthand, and did not Titus Vespaslanus pride himself on his facility In the use of stenography both for business and amusement? 8o fond was he of the sport that be de-, lighted to gather his amanuenses 1 around him in order that they should tilt against each other in the steno graphic field.

Dr. Lowell Mason wrote quite a treatise on the old tune In 1852. saying em phatically that it was written by Guil laume (William) Franck In 1548. But later musical historians and antiqua rians who have investigated more close ly say It was composed by Louis Bour geois, born about 1500 and died about 1572—some say in the massacre of St Bartholomew, in 1551-52.—Musical Mil lion.
