young man that “ his success was

‘success’ and vour namo contain sev­

All musical authorities have
agreed that when used in a proper
way the drum is thoroughly musical.
The common snare or side drum is
freely used in musical composition.
A large number of drummers per­
forming simultaneously ou Mf doors
produce good music. In this con­
nection Berlioz, the composer,
pointed out that a sound that was
insignificant when heard singly,
such as the clink o f one or two
muskets at shoulder arms or the
thud as the butt comes to the
ground at ground arms, becomes
brilliant and attractive if perform­
ed by a thousand men together.

NERVINE
Once When Henrik Ibsen was en-
in writing a play he by chance
ropped a scrap of pa] er on which
were the words, “ the doctor says.
Mrs. Ibsen determined to have a
joke and one day casually remarked:
“ Who is that doctor in your new
ploy? I suppose he’ll say some in­
teresting things?”
Ibsen at first was silent with as­
tonishment.
Then he broke out
into a fit of rage, full of reproaches j
for her snvuur.

A Gray* Discussion.
The late Joseph Jefferson and
his sister, Mrs. Cornelia Jackson,
were standing one day at a studio
window on Beacon street, Boston,
overlooking the Old Granary bury­
ing ground. They had been discuss­
ing the famous persons whose graves
were spread below them, when,
breaking a short interval of silence,
Jefferson said in the most mourn­
ful o f tonos, “ Connie, my dear, that
is the best place for me, after all.”
With a horrified expression on
her face, as her brother always
avoided grewsome subjects, she ask­
ed, “ What do you mean, Joe?”
With s twinkle in his eye the ac­
tor remarked blandly, “ I said ‘aft­
er all,’ Connie.”
In a flash his 6ister retorted, “ No,
Joe, dear, that’s no place for you.
There are too many deadheads
there.”

A Joke That Failed.
The average size of pastoral b a l ­
ings in the northern territory of
Auatralia is 275,000 acres. In West
Australia 100 people own together
40,000,000 acres, and Fraser speaks
of a Queensland “ cattle king’ ’ who
held 60,000 square miles— an area
nearly as large as all New England.
Two, three or even five months
may be required to drive cattle
to the nearest port or railroad. U n­
less the season is favorable iteannot
be done at all, for feed and water
are lacking along the tracks. Herds
of cattle started on the long drive
may bo greaUy depleted by starva­
tion and thirst, the remnant reach­
ing their destination only fit for
“ w ilin g down.”
Stock routes are laid out and
tended as carefully aa wagon roads
or railways. They head for the
principal markets or for the ends
of railroads which extend into the
arid belt and wind acroas the coun­
try, taking advantage o f all known
water supplies. Streams, springs,
billabongs and gnamma hole* are
used, regardless of the quality of
the water, for almost any liquid is
acceptable in the desert.
When the distances between wa
tering places are too great or areas
of feed are beyond the reach of wa­
ter, artificial supplies are provided
and kept under surveillance.
In
places wells are dug; elsewhere res­
ervoir* and tanks designed to collect
storm water of infrequent rains are
constructed.
Many o f these are
built below the surface and covered
to check evaporation. Where other
means fail, skeleton buildings with
large roof area are constructed to
conserve rainwater.— National Geo­
graphic Magazine.
