What magnificent opportunities there are for the pupils of to-day to enhance their musical education, as compared with the hard striving times of the old masters, who had to content themselves with such limited instru- ments as the old harpsichord. Can you imagine how manifestly grateful Bach, Handel and other old masters would have been had they at their dis- posal such high grade pianos, as manufactured to-day, capable of reâ€" sponding to every emotion? It is dif- ficult to conceive how it was possible for these old masters to give to the world such beautiful and immortal works, handicapped, we might say, with such inferior instruments, Were they in possession of such perfected instruments as we have to-day, who could conjecture what undiscovered form of music might have been handed down to us. That some knowledge of music is essential to a well-balanced life is now an almost established fact. Musicy let it be noted, is the instinctive im- pulse of the human being from the cradle up, and it reverberates the world over. It is the adorable gift of God, which instinctively seeks to express itself in :1 manner more funda- mentally natural, perhaps, than speech itself. Who has not been attracted by the cooing music of the cradled babe long ere it sought to utter a word. Does it seem natural to instinctively crave to express one’s every sense of feeling in speech? The claims of music for greater educational recognition are so manifold that one wonders that it is not given more prominence and taught more thoroughly in our public schools.

These ares aid t< be the largest and heaviest nests in the world. The birds build them in re- mote places, and they interweave them with leaves, grass and twigs, as do smaller birds in building their small nests . It is- questionable that the potential- ities of the player-piano and phono- graph have been fully realized. It was an extremely delicate and difficult matter to convince such artists as Patti, Melba, and other prominent artists of the possibilities of the phonograph, as likewise it was Padere- jewski, Greig, Moszkowski, etc., in re- gard to the playerâ€"piano. It is said that so highly are the master rolls and records of some of these masters valu- ed that they are carefully stored away in specially constructed vaults in Paris and elsewhere for revelation to music students in years to come. Music, the sul/tlest, the most power- ful joy of life, that in which solace is found, lives within all. Within many it is dormantâ€"it needs kindling. While perhaps being efficient in the art of voice production there are many teachers who are far from being masâ€" ters of interpretation, especially in some of the grand opera arias, for the reason that they have not had the opportunity of witnessing performâ€" ances by artists of the highest rank. In many vocal studios is the phono- graph finding itself useful as a coach, as also it is in the homes of many pupils. Inasmuch as it would be of priceless value to have such recordings at this time, present-day pupils and teachers will find, and some have already found from experience, that the records made by some of our eminent artists of to-day afford possibly unequalled facilities for acquiring certain phases of musical knowledge. fiThe teacher of musical history when reviewing epochs and events, giving biographical sketches of mmposers and classifying the different schools and forms of music, will find the player piano and phonograph, or either one, invaluable by demonstrating the record suitable for the occasion. When studying tonal effects of the different instruâ€" ments, the phonograph record would indeed be very helpful and highly in- teresting. r how potential would be the influence to-day if the Wonderful mechanical musical instruments, with their ap- pliances, we now have, existed two hundred and fifty years ago, thus en- abling Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart and other illustrious old masters to relegate to posterity faithful repro- ductions of their performances by means of the player-piano and phono- graphs. @ifliams mam 5 Milk Macaroni and Cheesezâ€"1-3 jpackage macaroni, 1% cup of thin éwhite sauce, Eé cup of stale bread wrumbs, 1 cup grated cheese, 1 table- ‘spoonful of butter. Break the macar- loni in 2 inch pieces or buy a. package iof Milk Ready-Cutsâ€"which are al- pvays cut to size-and cook in boiling Isalted water until soft, about 20 min- Iutes. Pour into a colander and run lcold water through it. Put in a but- Itered pudding dish and thoroughly stir iin 1 teaspoonful mustard which has Tomato Sauce :â€"Cut 7 or 8 tomatoes or use a can of tomatoes, cook on a slow fire with 1V2 ounce of Butter, 1 union, celery, season with salt and pepâ€" per. Cook slowly for an hour, add a little flour, cook 5 minutes more. Drain in a colander, then some meat extract may be added to give more flavor, and keep hot until ready to use with macaroni, spaghetti or readyâ€" cuts. Macaroni Soupzâ€"Boil some milk macaroni as directed, till it is tender. Drain it off, and serve it cut up into three inch pieces in some clear broth. If the macaroni or spaghetti, etc., is to be re-cooked with other ingredients or baked, it need not be cooked quite so tender. White Sauce :â€"-Heat in Saucepan to boiling point 1 cup milk; add 2 table- spoons butter and 1 of flour; stir un- til thick and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. The same recipe may be used in cooking macaroni, spaghetti or ready- cuts. To boil macaroni properly have a large pot or saucepan two thirds full of water on the fire, put a level table- spoonful of salt into it for every quart of water, to which, if desired, may be added half tablespoonful of butter, which gives a better flavor, and when it is boiling fast, thrown into it the macaroni, wiped with a clean dry cloth, but not washed. Let it boil until it yields easily to pressure be- tween the fingers; then drain it in a colander and rinse it thoroughly in cold water in which it should remain until you are ready to finish it accord- ing to any given recipe. “Well,” acknowledged the visiting mother as she rose to bid her friend good-by, “I see how I can try some short cuts! Perhaps my youngsters will appreciate a little ‘more mothâ€" I” er “I also gather up odds and ends of time by tucking away in a bag or a basket in each of my haunts, a piece of embroidery, knitting or sewing so that when I have a leisure half-hour I do not need to hunt up materials or patterns. This sort of employment fits in well with reading aloud, at- tending to the children’s piano pracâ€" tice, helping them with their lessons, listening to confidences or joining in games.” “When I wash the dishes, I do not use wiping towels but put them upon a rack and scald with plenty of water. They dry themselves in pure air and sunshine and I have no dishtowels to “On each floor of the house I keep one large scrap-basket into which I empty the contents of all the smaller baskets which I attend to, without ex- tra steps, as I go from room to room. WES “No, that would be cutting work} short instead of cutting across it. I‘ have several simple devices now for; cutting across some of my duties. Fori example, part of the time I wear glasses and part of the time I do not‘ need them. I used to waste many‘ valual/fle moments in looking for them when” changing from one task to an-i other. At last I made a rule that inl each room I must have one special‘ place to lay them down and never al-' low myself to put them anywhere else. This habit has become settled and my glasses are never mislaid.

You may not believe it but these stitches in time save more than nine in the future. l “What do you mean by short cuts? Clothes can’t be half-mended, dishes can’t be half washed, bread can’t be slackâ€"baked.” “How do you manage to have so much time for your children outside of all the home things you do for them?” questioned one mother of a neighbor. “By taking short cuts through my work," was the laughing answer, “and trying to be ready for play in its own time.” A Mother’s Short Cuts Macaroni Dishes It is an easy matter to provide a tight-fitting lid for the garbage can, and almost as easy a matter to render the privy vault fly-proof. However, it is not such an easy matter to ex-_ clude flies from the manure pile. It is best to store the manure in a shed that has been made fly-proof by means of screen, or to store it in a tight box. If it is not possible to store the man- ure in fly-proof places, the manure pile can be treated at intervals of ten days or two weeks during warm weather by means of chemicals. This kills the maggots before they develop into the adult fly. Powdered hellebore can be secured at any drug store, and it is especially recommended for treating manure The best method of combating flies is to prevent their breeding by de- stroying their breeding places. Thus if flies were excluded from the gar- bage can, manure pile and privy vault, it would be possible for the commun- ity to be free from flies. Third. It is of the utmost import- once that the proper method of can- ning and preserving be used if you expect your food to keep. Careless or haphazard methods will spell fail- ure and will result not only in loss of material and jars, but also in loss of time and labor. Understand thor- oughly just what you are doing and then see that each rule is carefully followed. Various Ways in Which to Combat The Fly Nuisance. Rice/Pudding With Raisins:-â€"â€"% cup rice, 36: cup raisins, 1 cup milk, 1%; quarts boiling water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 174 cup sugar. Stir the rice into the boiling salted water and cook until it is about half done, which will be about fifteen minutes. Drain the rice, add, the milk, sugar and raisins, and place: in a greased baking dish. Bake in ai moderate oven for about forty-five minutes. Can The Surplus. Now is the time to husband your re- sources and to prepare for the win- ter by canning and preserving. Soon it will be possible to obtain sufficient fruit and vegetables. Do not try to have just one day for canning and then proceed to work from early morn until late at night; rather do a few jars each day, so with- out much hardship your supply will grow rapidly. Second. Use only new rubbers; old ones have lost their elasticity, so fail to perform their mission. A few points to remember before starting: First, Use good jars, taking care that the lids are in good condition.
