After all, music js not the human voice the standard by which we judge the influence of different forms? The so of the bird is vocal in the is produced by | the voice is the wounds that differentiate the bird's song [from man's. The song i.e words | sung by the human voice is un- equalled for real appeal. In view of this there is just the danger some- times of forgetting the humble song in giving large thought to the in- fluence of the opera, oratorio and the larger works In one chapter of Herbert Antcliffe"s book Aving Music the author's judgment '8 given in these words: "It is the shoriness and simplicity of thodern songs, com- {| pared with the great choral and im- strumental forms of opera ,onator.o, etc, that makes them appear less | significant and less to be reckoned | with than they really are. We are liable to be misled also by the fact that the giants of musical art have devoted a large proportion of their energy to these larger forms. It is easy to agree that a work which has taken months perhaps years, of the | short life of a man of genius must be of greater importance than that which has occupied but ome day or only a few hours for its composition But this is often quite the reverse in faot. The primary reason for the importance and significance of songs is their universality .:..Therefore | the song must ever remain as it ever | has been the most influential and the | most useful of all musical forms." A striking illustration of the human appeal in a song is furnished in the introducton we get to the hero in Wason"s Friar Tuck. Although | striking, this is but typical of many cases that might be citied: We had just forded a little erick in sense t but when we heard a man's voice singing | off to the right. The' was a mess o' cottonwoods between us, an' we stop- | ped to listen.

A significant statement in the latest Berlin official communi- cation says that in Flanders and Champagne "the fighting activity has been revived at several points." Aside from this there is no infor- mation as to the exact status of af- fairs. = In Champagne the Germans have made an attempt to recapture positions between Mont Blond and Mont Carnillett taken by the French Monday, but met with repulse; suffer- ing heavy casualties. To the north- west, around Craonne, heavy artil- lery duels are being fought. The situation in Flanders is even more obscure, as neither the British nor French statements tend to clarify the German report of the recom- mencement of hostiliti Artillery duels of great intensity are known to have been in progress between Boes- inghe and Frelinghien, and in the re- gions of Steenstraete and Het Sas, while to the South of France, in the neighborhood of the Bapaume-Cam- bral road, the British troops have re- sumed their trench raiding opera- tions, destroying German dugouts and taking prisoners. ee ee WOUNDED WELL HANDLED _ Record Low Percentage of Deaths After Messines.

Men marching behind a band in rhythmic time soon begin to cry- stallize into an integral group. They feel as one and move as one so long as the music holds them. Hence the efficiency of a band as a mili- tary, recruiting ageney and a stimu- lus to the regiment . when formed. ""A band," says Mr. Kipling, *'re- vives memories and quickens asso- ciations; it opens and unites the hearts of men nrore surely than any other appeal. A wise and sympath- etic bandmaster can lift a battalion out of depression, cheer its sickness, and steady, and recall it to itself in times of almost unendurable strain." In like manner music is appreci- ated by evangelists. Religious re-| vivalists ire always realized the value of music as an aid to their propaganda Years ago Moody and Sankey madé musie an important part of their spectacular assemblies. Aud to-day there is no more impres- sive example of the baility of music to control crowds as well as to gath- er them, than the music employed by Billy Sunday, the world-famous revivalist, in his Hew 30,000-seating capacity tabernacle in New York City. Here the art. of crowd manage- ment by means of music has been | developed to its Wighest potency. ---- Death of Western Conductor. In the sudden déath of Mr. George Taggart, the music lovers of Van- couver have had & serious loss. He came from Glasgow some seven years ago, where he had been inter- ested in choral work for a long period. For a time he was in charge of the music at the Grandview Prés- byterian Church, ang later at the First Congregational. He had just accepted a similar appointment in Westminster Presbyterian. He was the organizer of the Western Triple Choir, which has given a number of most successful concerts, and he also directed the Scottish Philhar- monic Society. Gathering of Edouard Pe Reskze. +The death of Edouard De Reszke, {the giant Polish bass sinzer, recalls {a story of his start in the musieal ¢ | profession. When Edouard, as a lad lof 17, returned from the Agricui- | he was met at the station by his brother Jean, who was so amazed at his deep bass voice that he spirited him away from the rest of the fam- "ily, and leading him to a piano kept him under lock and keep for two days, practising and singing duets with him. At the end of the time he led the boy to his mother saying: "Edouard is never going back to school, but 'he is going on the oper- atic stage with me." In the summer of 1876 Edouard found himself in Paris. Verdi was there preparing Aida for its first Parisian production. He was un- | | {out only to the ultra-musical. able to find a man big enough to sing the role of the King. A by- formed by specialists in advanced clearing stations was very large. The mobility of hands and material has been vastly improved and a quick and smooth method perfected for the neXt. ned that may arise. The supply of dociors, anaesthetics and nurses has been immensely increased within the last week or two by the rapidity of the American organization, which already has taken over the complete work of a number of our general hos- pitals, and left staffs free for work nearer the front. 1 know of no finer example of American promptitude and thoroughness."

Inimediate- | ly he engaged him for the first per- formance, then only eight days away. The boy demurred, until Verdi guar- anteed to prepare him. On the open- ing night, desp.te his nervousness, Edouard made a tremendous suc- cess and from that performance his; career was easy.

Everyone a Musician The acquirement of a musical edu- cation is or should be, comparatively easy, not only because of the small- ness of the musical vocabulary (con- sisting of only 88 tones), but also Make Home a Haven of Enjoyment !

Sydenham and Princess Streets Phone 1324 because of the unjyersality of its no- tation. The present system of musi cal notation, though perhaps not perfect, has this great advantage, namely, it is the same all over the civilized world, so that when one learns it in ~ Canada, the musical thoughts of France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Russia are equally acces- sible. A child learns to read Kng- lish easily and well during the first six vears of his school life (from age , six to twelve); he might just as eas-| jg ily learn during the same time to! N read fearlessly and well the universal language of music. We are all born with ears, and they are formed for heaging, as the eye is for seeing; they, are moreover, capable of hear- ing more and better than they are ac- customed to doing. We carry them about with us evervwhere, but we| pay very little attention to them. We are only just beginning to learn what the normal ear is capable of in the matter of positive pitch for instance; that is, ability to recognize and name nusical tones. The lay public has been.accustomed to consider positive pitch as a gift wrapped in the ex- clusive tissue of genius and doled One who can enter a room where a musi- cian is singing or playing and say "He is singing high C, or baritone] B," has hitherto been looked upon as a prodigy. This is by no means necessarily true. By proper training | this power may be acquired, speaking very conservately, by 80 per cent. of normal children. Children who have| been thought to be entirely lacking | tn musical ability, fome of them appparently one-deaf, are able, after a few months' training, to sing '"'cen-| tre C" on demand, and to recognize it when it is played or sung, and they soon become equally familldr| with other musical tones. Some children will, of course, not acquire positive pitch as quickly as will oth- ers. There are children who do not 80 easily learn to write English from dictation as do others; but we do not therefore allow them to give up, and| say they cannot be taught. The mo- | tive for learning musical notation | must be for the purpose of freeing | the child by giving him the means of | expressing his own ideas on paper, as well as giving him pleasure in read-| ing easily and joyfully the thoughts] of others. A child who has made his/ own reverie or dream has the keen- est appreciation of a 'real compos-| er." There are times when every hu- man being feels the need of a lan- guage beyond the power of words. Air is a necessity, but how many re-| gard music as a necessity? It has been considered merely as an ac- complishment. How much more it) might be! w PIMPLES AND BOILS, ALL OVER FACE AND BODY | | When the blood becomes impure you will find that pimples and boils | will break out all over the body, and | although they are not a dangerous | trouble, they make you appear un-| sightly both to your friends and] yourself, { Burdock Blood Bitters will cleanse the Musd 82 <¢he {impurities and] poisons which cause the skin to break | out in these eruptions. | Miss Sylvia Swanson, Theodore,| Sask., writes: "I am letting you know what great value your B.B.B. has] been to me.
