Wnl8ts Are Too Small—Chinese Statesman Adroitly 1'eocei Questions.

When I wrote toXii iHung Chang begging xo be so good aa to give me the pleasure of interviewing him, I hardly expected 'that he would but 'he did, and OL arrived early, as I had proposed, says IM&dame. As my hansom drove up to to 15 Oarlton House Terrace I found that I was expected, for a gorgeously attired Celestial was in waiting to hand one out, and, 'showi-ng me into the drawing room, he begged me to excuse him. Boon afterward a most agreeable Englishman—Mr. Scott—appeared, who said that his excellency would like to see rave, and as we traversed the corridor he suggested that I should converse quite freely with him. I am not nervous, 'but as I went into the room, filled only with Chinese, I was a little puzzled to know which was the grand old man of China. A dead silence reigned all the almond shaped eyes were turned on me, watching me. I was looking 'for the immortal yelkw jacket, and, not Seeing it, I thought tha,t possibly the "master" would come 'in. after I was teeated. However, as (I proceeded, a tail man rose from 'his chair and, holdttirg out his hand, bade me welcome iwlth pleasant cordiality.

We sat faoe to 'faoe for a few seconds and mutely examined each other. 1 presume he was isattsified 'with h.s invesligation, for he beamed on me, took a pull at his long pipe, opened the interview by asking 'if I was Miss or Mrs. I replied that I was very much married, having gone 'through 'the ordeal twice, and that soothsayers that I was to be married a third time at 95, which amused him and his. entourage, who gforteked wi'th laughter. Th.s made us (friends, and t'he "master" said t'hat I •was very amusing, and began to ask me eo 'many personal questions 'that I B-a'id "I am afraid that you are too clever II came here to question you, but you are interviewing me. I will tell you all you want to know, btft please, you must do 'tihe same." A twinkle came into his mtelligant face and he waved his hand and nodded, and th'en we went steadily through all 'my history, which be .said was romantic -but he couid not •understand w'hy I was a journalist.

Turns the Tables.

'TIf you really are a journalist, I suppose you have been following me about," said he. "Oh, indeed, no. I do not do that," I replied, and I noticed that the contented smile had vanished so I proceeded to make amends by adding, "I do not do that branch I only interview celebrities, and for that reosond I am here." (Naturally, I had 'to tell

!him

my expe

riences. I was surprised to And how well 'he was up i-n our literature 'he discussed our artists and writers with a familiarity t'hat few (Englishmen oould show, and he was evidently pleased, when I told hhn that h'e had surprised me. He inquired how much I -made by wri'ting, and what papers I wrote for, and if I had ever had any of my articles rejected. With a merry laugh I admitted t'hat I 'had, which was the occasion for another hilarious outburst when we all grew serious he remarked that it was hard for me, as he was sure 1 was very brilliant. "Df you make so much money you must be very i"i5h. What do you do with it? Do you save it? «I

it all." But he thought I

ought to put by some, thereby, giving une a lesson in domestic economy, "I oould spend ev»r so much more than I have—life is expensive, and pleasures cost so

much,

and the future arrange

itself Af you do not worry over it" a theory that did not satisfy him, for he ghoO-k his head.

Theoi he told me about his engagements for the day, and asked if 1 had ever been over .the mint and Bank of England.

I made another attempt to extract his opinions about us and to And out which country stood highest in his estimation, but he most adroitly (fenced my remarks by 'asking me questions

Just the.n acme attendants brought an electrical battery, which he apologized for using. I rose to go, but he invited 'me to remain, saying 1 amused

we find mmis.c playing an imiportanit role a* a religiouis, educational and t:lver&ieutic Ponce, says 'the S't. Louis Globe-Dei.nooi-at. The Bgyiptian pr.ests combine music, medtcine a-nd religiiouis m'iuteries, -msing one and al'i for t'he healing of apiritual, iinfielle'ci'Jual and physical iJ'Ls. 'Poetry, legenidary and •learned philofiophical treatises alike tesitiiify to the hLgrh. estimate tihe Greeks p'l'aced on music as a means of discipline and healing.

Oared of Nightmare.

The recent revival of the -ljiueic oure seems to be pretty widespread, and the London (Lancet has referred to It on various occasions. In its pages tt is recorded that a prominent Russian physician, o(ne Dr. Bessdhinsky, oured a little girl who was subject to nightmars and sleeplessness and on wiom sundry recognized treatments had -'been tried in vaift by having the child's mvtiher play on the piano Chopin's slow waltz in A minor, as something tender and soothing. Similar 'treatment vr&s applied to a case of the same kitad, with equal success, by one flDr. B6rberoft The 'Lancet does not state whethef 'he prescribed Chopin. One -cwnmenfratw suggests that a simple luWaby sung by the mother would 'brtag-'Sleep-to +he' child as effectuually as ApollC's lyre.

Mu&ic has been tried as a hypootle hi the London Temperance -Hospital with a fair measure of success. The sj'stem of 'bringfng it in-tb -the sphere of practical therapeutics is also being introduced into various Frpudh hospitals -but the most not aWe step yet token is the work oif the London Guild of S't. Cecilia, under the ©nergette and discriminating direction of Careen Hartford, and with Dr. Bfta'ckrtMtfp. Its medical spirtt. *1,

A 'male patient,. suffering from delirium tremens, -became oalm and attentive on listening to the music- *:-.y •j Difference In the Coring:. -r

Canon Hartford draws a distinction between tihe music that should be given to alleviate pain and that to produce sleep. In the la'tter"oa$e he thinks it should „be very soft and monotonous, while when -meant to disrtract the mind fr.om pain it shou'fd be of a more attractive order, but still soft. He says it is difficult to find yocalists who can sing very piano, and proposes to have th*m trained with this ^particular ob Ject in view. It has not been clearly de termtoed whether -lively and exhilarating airs may not be desirable in some cases, but it is thought 'that soft music, at least, runs no risk of Injuriously exciting the patient.

Dr. iBlackmann asserts that violins have the greatest therapeutic value, harps coming next, while he thinks tenors should si'ng to female patients and sopranos to male. Both 'he and t'he worthy canon have decided from their experiences that music is a patent med ioine, and its effect® should be as cares.fully studied as those of any other med ioine. (Some one suggests th'art. the natural development of this «new sohool of the healing art should be -pursued and the oomposers properly classified, as tihe patient needing a dose of iH'aydo might be seriously affected -by having Wagner administered. Another wrtt^.J&C^ ularly inquires if the druggist of the future will have to be a graduate of a conservatory of music, and If 'the supply of the new drug will 'be in liquid form. He hopes t'he latter, as he has found so -much lately of an opposite nature. He remi'nds dtuggdste, too, that the remedy has -been ®o greatly slaughtered in the-past the public might be spared the announcement of a cut irn jsritoes, and' -aslps -if the music boxes fbrmlng part of the stock In trade of the up-to-date apothecary shop are merely forerunners of this final condition of affairs.

There is always more or 1«6S that it Is ludicrous connected wfth every attempt to grope through mysterious passages to the light. The rtelous will stumble and .blunder, and perhaps 'be guilty of many absurd attempts. Nevertheless, if the goal •be a noble one, and 'the intentfems of the groperg -be honest and pure, the striving will ttot be fruitless.

The iair Is full Just now of desire and effort to grasp the truest methods of music study, (he best means of applying fhe divine art as a sou roe of discipline and elevation and of appropriating, to the largest (possible degree, the .blessings it contains within itself for humanity. Whatiever there may be in this latest attempt to mat'e music and medicine to excite the risibles of the funlover, at least all must admit that no harm can result from it. If It simply leads some of those who have been blessed with musical talent and training to minister to the Wis of their less favored feKow creatures, a great and charitable work will be accomplished*
