In our first musicians wo . iaro dealing ipurely with the fair sesU-we have .occasional displays of j ingenuity, elaborate syncopations and possibly some suggestions off aniiphonal ef fect, but of really artisBc reserva itions of technical force such as dis played by the masters there are few. In this even ' the very lady com posers themselves will agree. (Though their want of ) power and iviriii ty is in a measure compensated lay refinement of taste, in their most ambitious " efforts they suffer from lack of sustained power and from constructive weakness. They are as yet , incapable of close analysis of form, the diagnosis of subtleties of klangfarbe, V or tone color, and re sent the humiliating bondage and servility demanded by omnipotent science before the smiles of his con sort, art, can be worn, j Musical women are, as a rule,' ro mantic, refinedr enchanting, full of.

I'How did I coma to build my first railroad ? Well, that's a 1 ong story, ' said John L, Blair,! the oldest living railway btiilder, to! a Boston Globe reporter. , ' -. : ,- . f 'You know I got' my start as a country storekeeper and along s in the twenties J had six or seven stores scattered about id New Jersey. I was selling a lot of, goods and mak ing money. ; V But it cost a lot to haul goods from Now York to liy stores, and it was a 1 constant stti.cly with me how to reduce the .- transportation ex penses and shorten rtlio time required by thernetho(s of jtlioso days.' . v "Myj first efforts! in that direction were in co:op2ratj6n with Corumo dore Vh'ndcrbilt. Ho was in the boat business then, andjl paidhim'a good many dollars for freightage. . 7 "Ono year ho had a strong com petitor for the business in the per son of Go vernor dgden, and freight rates were cut away down. It was that year that I goi the better of the commodore. Either no didn't know or had forgotten that I had so many stores,! for ho said to me at the be ginning of tho season that he would contract to boat all my stuff across New York bay for $ 10. "Did I take himup? Well, I don't think j I need answer that question. The goods were brought over all right, and I paidj the $10 and no more.

A mathematical discipline is all that "is needed for the training of the inu-' sical mind to concentrate itself on I the perspective of the sound land- scape before '.attempting flic luxuries of colorful, and poetic detail. The higher education will assist it to 'create a vertebral column capable of holding the muscle and sinew of fine form which the delicate fancy of women shall decorate at will. There may be in the first days of her higher -i ' i r-'V'- i i ion toward toward ri- ' advancement a disposi "capelmeister inusik, " gidity and academic scrupulosity, hut from these trammels she will soon shake herself free her native poesy of thought brightly as her male rivals. 1 , But before the full liberty conies she Will also have to acquire from thp mines of science the absolute confidence in. self wiaich has been the -sole iEgis of such men as Wagner and Brahms. She must jearn to face her critics and not!, Keatslike, sink t through them to her dobm. Every, chilly blast, "every adverse word, must brace not blight, her produc tivity, or progress will jfejt lie in the far, far ages. Sugary harmonies which now do duty for richly colored orchestration, transient! and super ficial effects which- dazzle and die, 'will all be wheeled into line: Tho discipline of the higher brain culture will nourish the; womanly output till it become a classic giant, capa ble of holding its own in the sphere of musical giants. Wo have lately had the advantage of judging and admiring the talent of tho firtet mu sical women of the; age and learning through them and the exicellence'and refinement of their work what gdrms and possibilities may be hoped for from them and.their disciples in the near future.

Of late there have been marriages J by the score in North Carolina. Old widows have married young men and bid men have married young women: But the climax was capped in our neighboring .city, Concord, several days ago. A widower, with several children married a widow with six "children and now there is a housefull for they have all moved together. The groom by marrying the widow be comes his own son's father-in law, the son having married the widow's daughter. Another so i, it is said, is to marry his tep-mother's daughter.
