Popular song writing i* said to be
about as highly a commercialized
undertaking as one finds nowadays,
and the glowing amateur might feel
very isolated in the cold, business-
like atmosphere that prevails in the
production department of some of
the large music publishing con­
cerns.
I t is in this department th at all
of the lyric writers and composers
connected with the staff of the
house congregate daily to compose
the melodies which the public may
be singing a few months later.
A music publishing house is like­
ly to be a perfect bedlam of me-
odic noises. Five or six piano
ooms (little square partitioned
boxes, just large enough to contain
a piano and a stool) can be found
in large concerna. In some depart­
ment» composing has reached such
a rapid fire state that even ten and
twelve of theee piano rooms are
found insufficient for the demand.
In one of these little rooma a
lyricist and a composer may be try­
ing to “compose a new one.” The
lyric of most of our popular songs
is written first. That is, the title
and poem are already completed be­
fore the words are set to music, for,
although few realize it, the lyric of
a song is considered of greater im­
portance than the melody.
The lyric writer places his new
poem on the piano before the man
who is to evolve the melody. The
composer scans the lyric intently,
studying it from every angle until
he has mastered the various tricks
of meter which the lyric writer has
put in to give his composition a
greater selling value. Although the
lyric is considered the most impor­
tant factor by many publishers, the
melody is the thing which even­
tually sells the song.
After a new song is completed
and ready to leave the hands of ita
author and composer the question
of marketing is considered. Pub­
lishers have come to the conclusion
that it does not always pay to ad­
vertise a song as one would a book.
The publishers cannot announce
that on such and such a day a new
song will be on sale in the music
stores entitled “so-and-so.” The
publisher must hear it sung, and
one way th at this can be accom­
plished is through the medium of
the stage. Therefore large publish­
ers advertise in the theatrical jour­
nals, and by impressing the differ­
ent vaudeville actors and actresses
that they have a new wonderful
song they plan to reach the public
at large who buy music.—New York

Belief in the evil eye exists in all
lands, hut especially in Italy. I t ex­
isted in ancient Egypt. The “eye”
ia aeen on the prows of Spanish and
Italian Ship« and on Mexican buck­
lers. I t is seen on amulets taken
from the ashes of Herculaneum and
Pompeii. In some places it is sur­
rounded by elephants, serpents and
scorpions, animals that were sup­
posed to hold a talismanic power
against it. Many celebrities of his­
tory—Napoleon among other»—be­
lieved in the evil eye and feared it.
Among the masses of the eastern
and European nations the belief is
almost universal. It is one of the
superstitions that persist despite
the progress of science and reason.

Business Record* of ■ N ippur F in »
T w enty-four Centurie* Ape.
Boxes Crates
A peep into the “archive* room"
of a great businesa firm of 2,400
year* ago ha* been made posaibl»by
the investigation* conducted at Nip­
pur under the auspice* of the Uni­
versity of Pennsylvania. This room
would be represented by the vault or
the great steel safe of a modern
business establishment. I t contain*
the business records of the firm of
Hurashu Sons of Nippur, a concern
which was thriving in the time of
Artaxerxes I.—that is to say, about
the year 464 B. C.
The records are all engraved on
day tablets, of which several hun­
dred have been discovered. There
are mortgages, notes, legal con­
tracts and agreements of all kinds.
One of the most interesting of these
tecords is a guarantee that an em­
erald set in a gold ring will not fall
out for twenty years. I t reads:
“Bel-ad-iddina and Belshuna,
•on* of Bel and Hatin of Bazuzn,
■poke unto Bel-nadin-shumu, sons
of Marashu, thus: ‘As concerns the
gold ring set with an emerald, we
guarantee that for twenty years the
emerald will not fall out of the gold
ring. If the emerald should fallout
of the gold ring before the end of
the twenty years Bel-ad-iddina, Bel­
shuna and Hatin shall pay unto
Bel-nadin-shumu an indemnity of
ten mana of silver.’ ”
This is a sample of the remark­
able documents found in the
archive room. Marashu Sons must
have carried on an extensive busi­
ness. The records embrace a period
of fifty years. The firm seems to
have acted as agent for the wealthy
Persians who did not care to attend
in person to their large estates in
the hot Babylonian country.
They leased fields and other prop­
erties and lived upon the revenues
thus obtained, preferring to spend
their days among the luxuries and
attractions of the cities. All this is
evident from the contracts, leases
and bills of sale of orchards, slaves,
oxen and other possessions found
among these clay records.—Har­
per’s Weekly.

The pianist engaged to play a t a
“amoker” which was held recently
played by ear and was famed for
nia accompaniments to songs of all
kinds. He maintained his reputa­
tion until a young fellow was called
upon to favor the company with a
comic song. The would be come­
dian had a very tuneless voice and,
being nervous, forgot some of the
words.
The result was he gave the first
verse in three different keys, and
when he broke down at the chorus
he had the cheek to blame the pian­
ist, saying: “You’re putting me off.
If you can’t play better than that
I’ll sing without the piano.”
“You’ll have to,” replied the
pianist sarcastically. “I can’t ac­
company a stump Speech.”—Lon­

There have been royal journal­
ists as well as royal authors. George
III. contributed seven articles to
the Annals of Agriculture, a month­
ly magazine edited by Arthur
Young. These were published un­
der the pseudonym of Ralph Rob­
inson and, according to one of his
biographers, “display a most pro­
found knowledge of agriculture.”
Louis X V III. was a journalist of
quite another type. For some years
after hia accession to the throne he
was in the habit of sending anony­
mous political articles to various
Paris dailies. Some of the opinions
expressed in these were so advanced
that the king had the pleasure of
seeing them vetoed by his own cen­
sor.

The largest kitchen in the world
is part of a Paris department store.
In this kitchen is prepared the food
for the 4,000 employees of the es­
tablishment. The smallest kettle
holds seventy-five quarts, the larg­
est 375 quarts. There are fifty fry-
ing pans, each of which is capable
of holding 300 cutlets at a time or
of frying 220 pounds of potatoes.
When there are omelets for break­
fast 7,800 eggs are used. The cof­
fee machine makes 750 quarts of
coffee daily. There are regularly
employed sixty cooks and a hundred
kitchen boys.
