There is charm and mys tery in this, one otf the most ancient . of instruments, which hand ed down to us gilded with the haze of musical lore and legend. In Todes chi's Suite Op. 34, her supple lingers drew harmonies from the wires such as the bards of old played before their monarchs. There were delicate de- II grees of shading through Intricate phrases and strong chords, of virile power. There were several numbers on the program for trio of vlollh, harp and organ. Through Mietxke's "Medita tion," thxis arranged, one seemed to hear the echo of the hidden hopes and griefs of all struggling humanity straining toward the unattainable. Baclv-Gounod'e* ever popular "Ave Marie" had the trio accompaniment to Mrs. Bressker's singing. There was mingled pathos and majesty in Pinto's violin, harp aHi organ.

Bachelors Die Earlier Than Married: Men In the March Woman's Home Com panioh some very interesting figures are quoted which prove absolutely that married men have, a far greater chance for life than bachelors. "To the husband who begins to won-. der whether, his marriage is a saving investment science has something, to say," we read. "The chances are that if it were not for his wife he. would be, dead! "This may sound like an extrava gant statement, but the figures are startling. Professor Willeox of Cor nell LSniveraity has for some time been engaged in analyzing the death rate of the male population of New York State as revealed by the census sta tistics. The following table shows the percentage of deaths among the un married and the married: Death rate "Beath rate of unmar- of unman ned men ried women Age per cent.' per cent. * 29-29, ..v . ... . 57 greater 19 less 30-39 119 greater 17 greater 40-49 105 greater 22 greater 50-59, ........ 69 greater 37 greater 60-69 60 greater 32 greater 70-79, ....... 39 greater 3 4 greater "In this table the death rate per thousand of population is shown: MALES Widowed and Age Single Married Divorced 20-29, 6.6 4.2 12.0 30-39, 12.9 5.9 14.1 40-49, 19.5 9.5 17.3 50-69, 28.7 17.0 30.5 60-69, 51.0 31.9 48.6 70-79, 101.4 72.7 96.0 80, 264.2 205.1 315.7 FEMALES Widowed and Age Single Married Divorced 20-29, 4.7 5.7 9.4 30-39, 7.4 " 6.3 9.5 40-49, 10.0 8.2 12.1 50-59, 19.9 14.5 lg.B'' 60-69, 37,1 28.1 38.2 70-79, 82.2 61.4 * 87.2 80, 279.8 194.8 268.9 "From such figures there can be no argument.-no appeal. They prove con clusively that men . who have homes, who eat, live and sleep regularly, who have proper attention when they are ill, and a constant incentive to good work, outlive single men. Between the ages of thirty and fifty the death rate is more than twice, as great among bacheJors." MISS J)KHJ\ TI-AJ.N ALLOUT AMJERICAN RUM IN THE Iv\ST I The iHarrlsburg Woman's Christian!
