A specialist In nervous disease whoso opinion Is nn nuthorlty In Ger many, hns iccently published an article In "La Science lllustrc" In which ho ussetls thnt the abuse ot music In gcneial nnd of the piano In pnrtlcular, predisposes dliectly to most kinds of neurosis, chlorlsls, dj-spepsln, brain ttoublc und other tualldles of this type. P.y "abuse" the nuthor means ,for ex nmple, the premature ngo nt which pnrents cause young chlldtcn to begin the study of the piano, prolonged e crciso nt scales by young girls for three or lour hours n (lay, etc. According to tho observations of Dr. Wetzhold on 1,000 women who had begun piano les sons nt the ago of twelve years, more than 600 are today subject to some form of nervous dlseuso. On the other hand, of 1,000 women that hud never touched u piano, seuicely 100 had ever suffered from nerve doubles Thf nuthor declares In conclusion that the study of tho plnno should never be begun before the ageif sixteen jears.

Fire Compels Wild Beasts and Cattle to Herd Together. From the San Dlign I'nlon. An Incident of the foicst flies in tho hills of the Desianso nolghboihood In southern California Illustrates the comradshlp that common peiil bilngs about among beasts, as well as unions men After the flames had lofliplotol their woik of destiuctlon and spread a pall oter the hills, a lumber went foith among the ihnricd stumps an I smoking lnusli heaps to look for a number of cattle nnd lolts, which he fouicd had been hemmed In by the fire He went across gully und rldgo In his search, until nt last he saw his stock some little distance uhead. He was more than astonished uinmi com ing up to the gtoup to find not only his cuttle and colts, but a deer, thteo wild cats, a coyote and seteral lubblts, all alive, and uppaiently In no fear of him. Tliey watched his approach with In difference, the timidity gone fiom th blg-ejed deet, no venom in the wild cat's purr and honesty shining in the giay enjote's face. The idhblts sit on their haunches, ns meek as the pets of chlldien. Rut the poor cotote wns In naln, and as tho fanner came dose the cistwhlle lobber of the roost diag ged his helpless hlndquaiteis toward the mnu In mute supplication. The legs of tho animal had been frightfully butned. The rancher wns In no mood to ninko friends of sueh strange creatures, nnd at once droto his stock through the smouldcilng brush, tho deer going along with the cattle, tho tnhblts hop. ping along at the rancher's heels, tho wildcats slouching along behind, and the cojote, unable to follow, whining a pathotlc appeal for succor. When tho burning field was passed the deer broke Into n run for the distant hills, the rabbits were awny llko a flush, and the old defiance and snarling leer come back to the wildcats, who scorned to make a show of haste. They walked slowly out of sight. V S H IS c n 0X Mr. Templeton's Choice Mi. TheophllU3 Temploton leaned back very comoitably In his cilmbon leather, brass-nail studded library chair lested his elbows on the arms, brought his finger tips together, and looked veiy benign and Important. "A rich man, eh' Well, jes, I nm a rich man what some people would call a voi ilch man, nnd the beauty of it Is I made my foi tune mysflf. When I started out for mjself, a lad of ten that's flftj- jeats ngo or more I had all my worldly goods In a red handker chief, slung on n stick oter my shoul ders Todaj I say It without boast ingthere's not a finer line of steam ships afloat than the 'Clitics,' and I own 'em nil etery blessed baker's dozen of 'em " Pied. Wniilngton listened lespect fullj' a handsome joung fellow, with a wide-awake, frank look in his blue ejos, and geneial manlj' bearing nbout him thnt recommended him whereter ho went, verj- especially to ladies. "And yet, with all jour wealth, jour beautiful home, jour kindly, affection ate natuie, jou hute used all jour lite in accumulating riches. You hate never married neter had a leal tiuc home," ho obseited "That's tho iankrst kind of non sense, my boj I neter m.urled be cause 1 neter jet saw the woman 1 wanted nut It s n good thing for a joung fellow to settle down I bellete that, if I didn't practice It. I hope j'ou'll mniij' cailj, Fied." A little twinkling look was In War llngton's handsome face. "I agice with you there, sir, to a T. I think I shall many early." Mr Templeton bestowed a satisfied look on him. "All right, my dear boj '. ilarrj- eatly, and marry to 'please me, and I'll ic meiiibei yoii'liandsomelj". I'll glte you a countrv houfce to lite In In summer time, nnd the town lesldencc for win ter. I'll give jou ten thousand a jear Income, und j our w Ife shall hat e the handsomest diamonds Stieet's can col lect." Anjone In tho woild would have thought Pied. Wniilngton was trans potted to the j-evonth heaven of rap ture at the bowlldoilng prospect held out to him; but he merely looked a little giuver us he bowed couiteoiislj'. "I know jou nio Just as good and generous ns it is possible for man to be. Uncle Phil, hut " Pied, hesitated In his speech, and a thoughtful fiown gntheied on his foie heud. Mr, Templeton looked the surprise ho felt. "'Rut!' Wheie can the 'but' bo to such nn offer ns that?- You've only to marry to please me.

"I say jou shall many her, and I want jou to put on oui hat and go with me at once nnd be lntioduced to her! She's stating at Mrs. baxony's Come along, sir." Pred lose promptlj'. "Certainly; I'll go and be presented to her, and I dare saj- there will be no icason why I shall not admire her Im monselj But ns for falling In love with Mis Lotott " Ho laughed and shiugged his blond rhoulders, then put on his hat, and went out with Ml Templeton to meet the charming young lady intended for his destlnj-. It was a beautiful little villa, not fnr from Mr Templeton's stately mansion, a little back from the Taiade, and it made a very piettj picture, with Its white lace di aperies lloatlng on the stiff sea breeze and the spray from the fountains blowing In a rainbow shower, and the gay striped awnings flutter Ins rhelr scalloped borders In the July sunsdilne. The lit ei led footman bowed his best und icgietted to be obliged to Inform the gentlemen that Mis Saxony was not in. A swift look of dismay on Mr. Templeton's face perhaps touched that functionary's tender henit for he hast ened to asuie them that "Miss Lovett was In the draw Ing-room would they walk In"" But that Mi. Templeton declined do ing, as he was not personally acquaint ed with Miss Lovett, at least not suf ficiently acquainted vtith her to pre sent lilmt-elf. He had known her when die wus a gill of 10, and had alttaj's been her father's most cherished filend, und hnd been in correspondent with Mr. Lotett when thnt gentleman died so suddenly In India- but all the tame, with an old bachelor's chaiacterlstlc shrinking from pietty joung gills, he declined tho Invitation until Mis. Bax ony should be present. 'It's too bad too bad'" he said, as tlry went through the beautiful little park. Into which carriages were not admitted, and, Impelled by an Impulse he recognized afterward his fate, Mr. Templeton paused mldttav down tho pnth, and turned to look back at Mrs. Saxonj-'s house. "By Jote' There she Is at the window Miss Lovett' Isn't she a beauty? Isn't she sweet enough to turn any fel low topsv-iurvy' Look, Fied there's the wife I've picked out for you' Can your music teacher beat that '" And Mr. Templeton seized his unof fending nephew by the sleeve, and ges ticulated emphatically toward the open window wher a gill sat, beautiful in deed maitclously he dutiful, fair and dulntj' with dark, lustrous hair, braid ed on u pinud little head, nnd straight, heavv dark brows, that made the purity of her complexion still more dazzling.

She did not inlso her ejos from her book, und she was unconscious of their espionage, or of Pred Wnirlngton's transfixed gaze. "So yoiu're struck, eh? So you'll give the old man credit for having good taste, will you You wouldn't mind jl m0 k Sundries and Supplies of capital or center of local have no rivals, only a few high-grade Bargain Wheels having her for j-our wife, after all, I suppose'" Pred drew a long breath, then quick ly linked his arm In Mr. Templeton's, and drew that gentleman away. She is the sweetest, most beautiful I eter saw. I'll marry her tomorrow If she'll have me." he said. And how the old gentleman laughed "Music teacher notwithstanding, ch'" he said And thon Pred laughed, and Mr. Templeton generously decided not to be too sarcastic on the poor boj Almost at the name moment a tall, lovelj' girl, soveial jcais older than the fnlrj- In white by tho window In Mrs. Saxony's drawing loom, entered and went up to hei. "Absorbed In your book still. Ros sle' It Is time tor rnj' lesson, Isn't It?" And Tiossle Fleming- laid down her book, and for an hour she and Miss Beatrix Lovett devoted themselves to the music lesson, to be Interrupted by a gentleman who had bilbed the foot man to permit him to enter the music room unannounced, and to whom Bos sle flow, with a little bliriek of delight. 'Fred-O Pied! How did you know I wns In Brighton? I only came j'ester terday to assist Miss Lovett with her music. This is Miss Lovett, Fied Mr. Warrington, Miss Lovett " "And I am j.uro Miss Lovett will not blame me If I Insist that I shall marry you, little Itosslc, and the sooner tho better, before undo Phil discovers his mistake." And the next week there was a quiet wedding nt the local registrar's office, while Mi Templeton was taking his snooze in his chair, with his handker chief over his face, dreaming of the days when beautiful Miss Lovett would reign royally In hla nephew'n home. At 8 o'clock tho same night he was electtlfled by tho receipt of a note from Fred. "I have been and gone and done It, Undo Phil," it said "I promised you I would marrj- the lady j'ou selected for me, and I shall present her to you In an hour.
