Saul when out o! temper used to summon David to play the harp, and found the music to be a sedative, may prove to be more thus simple historic incident. for both Char- cot and 'l‘nrchanow have declared that musical sounds are a remedial agency in disease which no physician can af- ford to ignore. says the New York Herald. Mr. Werthin, of Michigan. who has given s great deal of thought to this sub- ject, asserts that, different. kinds of sounds are more effective than drugs in the cure of disease. For instance. he boldly assures us that the music of Valkyrie will inérease perspiration. and. therefore, cure certain forms of ailment caused by checking its flow. The operative energy is not the music as such, but the peculiar vibrations made 'by it. Tannhauser, on the other hand, is a. vibratory suporific and inâ€" duces a serene state of mind and body. M. Coriveaud. of Paris. asserts that violin playing is at. leutna temporary remedy for sciatica. He adduces the in- stance of a. patient who found almost instant relief in that way and who suc- ‘ cessfully resorted to it whenever threat- ened with an attack. Perhaps this is an appeal to the in- agination, but what matters it if the patient is cured? Perhaps, again, there is a law hidden somewhere in the pile of apparent impossibilit-iesâ€"one which 'will some time be discovered for our benefit. We never smile with increduli- ty at anything in these wonder-«working days. All children who present themselves at the vest for study are received. It is not ever required that their'puenta bring them or send them, says Popular Science Monthly. The newcomer chooses his professor, and, if accepted, begins at once to study under his direc- tion, installs himself in his cell or in the school hall, and becomes his servant. If the protessor has already too many pupils, he refuses the new pu- pil and advises him to choose another teacher; sometimes he guides his choice, directing him to a. master who has few or no pupils, or takes him to the su- perior who will select a. teacher for him. The choice of a professor is always a grave affair, because it is held in Cam- bodia, as in all Buddhist and Brahmatic countries, that professor and pupil are vvuu ~~~~~ , _-_._, r’ bound by strong ties of spiritual af- finity, and that the pupil ought to re- spect his master as he does his father and mother. The law inflicts the some penalty upon an offense of the pupil against his master as an offense by a son against his father and mother and it mwribes tlmt in certain cases the pupil any be heir of his professor when he 'has cared for him or supported him or served him when studying under his direction; not only a family bond but a religious bond, too. is established be- tween them. for the professor makes it his business to (each his pupil the course by which he may earn more advanta- geoul reincarnation and reach the Nir- mm:~ and becomes his spiritual guide.
