LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN. (Smart Set Magazine) I wish that there were some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again, Where all our mistakes and all our heart aches And all our poor, selfish grief Could be dropped, like a shabby old coat, at the door And never put on again. I wish we could come on It all unaware, Like the hunter who finds a lost trail; And I wish that the one whom our blindness had done The greatest injustice of all Could be at the gates, like an old friend that waits For the comrade he's gladdest to hail. We would find ail the things we intended to do But forgot and remembered too late Like praises unspoken, little promises broken, And all of the thousand and one Little duties neglected that might have perfected The day for one less fortunate.

It has a triangular oody and a long neck, and three metal strings. The instrument is native to Great Russia, or Ae ancient Muscovite kingdom, and was largely used by the ancient Russians in their heatheen rites. With the introduction of Christianity in the Eleventh century, the Balalaika was prohibited. Excommunication was

the punishment for not only the one who played the instrument, but any man who listened to its sensuous tones. Later, two centuries of Tartar rule completed the work of stamping our Russian Musical consciousness. Unfavorable historical circumstances continued to pursue the Balalaika, for in the eighteen eenttiry, during the reign of Peter the Great, when continental music made Its way into Russia with continental culture, the primitive, almost barbarous national instruments were ridiculed. Oblivion and forgetfullness followed. It took twenty years of persistent, patriotic struggle, involving the sacrifice of his personal fortune, before M. W. W. Andreeff could restore the Balalaika to its rightful position as the national Russian instrument. M. Andreeff's Russians render not only folk melodies of their land, but more complex compositions as wsll. For unanimity and precision these musicians cannot be excelled, and their exquisite gradations in dynamic shading give rare delight to the sensitive listener. The Balalaika sizes, are prima, secunda. viola bass and double bass. The next most important instrument of the orchestra, native Russian, like the Balalaika and the others, is the dorma, a stringed instrument with a round body, which also varies in size. Then there are the Swirley, and the Shepherd's Pipe, or the Brelka. The orchestra also uses tambourine, which was played in earliest Russia, and a native kettle drum, or nakri, and plain wooded spoons, for a castenet effect. IMPORTANT EVENT. A most important musical event for this month will be the song recital which will be given by Miss Bertha Garver of Cleveland, Ohio, Tuesday evening, November the twenty-eighth in the First Presbyterian church parlors. She will be assisted by Mr. Sisson, organist and accompanist. He is also of Cleveland. MUSIC AT CHURCH. A quartet composed of Mr. J. O. Hill, Mr. C. Hutchens, Mr. Walter Luring and Mr. E. S. Mote will sing today at the East Main Street Friends' church services. The public is Invited to attend. RUSSIAN ORCHESTRA. Society folk as well as persons interested in musical affairs are looking forward with pleasure to the appearance of the Russian Symphony orchestra at the Gennett theater, Tuesday evening, November the twenty-first. The orchestra will appear in Indianapolis Monday of this week. VESPER SERVICES. Vesper services will be held this evening at the First Presbyterian church. The public is invited to attend. There will be special music. Writing on WoodSome persons who make a study of the subject are of the opinion that the first writing was upon thin pieces of wood. From their convenience this seems probable. Such boards were used at an early period by the Greeks and Romans and were frequently covered with wax, which was, of course, more easily written upon than the bare wood. Where wax was used errors were readily erased by rubbing with the blunt end of the piece of metal which served for a pen. To make the writing more visible it appears that some black substance was smeared over the surface of the white wax and remained in the scratched marks.

A WONDERFUL SNAKE.

It Defied the Attacks of the Serpent Killing Iguana. Snakes on the pampas of South America have many enemies. Burrowing owls feed on theni, nd so do herons and storks, which kill them with a blow of their javelin beaks. The tyrant bird picks up the young snake by the tail and, flying to a branch or stone, uses the reptile as a flail until its life is battered out. The large lizard of the pampas, the Iguana, is a famous snake killer. It smites the snake to death with its powerful tail. Mr. Hudson in his "Naturalist In La Plata" tells this story; One day a friend of mine was riding out looking after his cattle. One end of his lasso was attached to his saddle, and the remainder of the forty foot line was allowed to trail on the ground. The rider noticed a large iguana lying apparently asleep, and. although he rode within a few inches, it did not stir. But no sooner had the rider passed thau the trailing lasso attracted the lizard's attentiou. It dashed after the slowly moving rope and dealt it a succession of violent blows with its tall. When the whole of the lasso, several yards of which had been pounded in vaiu, had passed by, the iguana, with uplifted head, gazed after it with astonishment. Never had such a wonderful snake crossed its path before. Traditions of tho Flood. The Deserte dt L'ariitte. in the Pyrenees, close on 10.000 feet above the tea. contains no fewer than sixty lakes of varying sizes. These, according to local tradition, were left at the time of the flood. When the waters sub sided it appears that Noah and hi family landed on the Puy de Priguo. one of the highest peaks in the dis trict. Proof of 'the truth of this tradi tion is found In an iron ring to which, the peasants declare, the ark was moored when the Inndinjr was effected. The easiest word to pronounce in the English language is said to be "murmur." It is simply an expulsion of the breath repeated. Pecans Increase More Rapidly Than Any Other Crop.
