A A woman OCEAN MUSIC. the Music World. From Information furnished by the Toibert R. Ingram Music Company of Denver, Colorado, the indications are that (he music buying public Is getting the "Ocean Music" craze. It all originated with the publication by this firm of the litle ocean characteristic, "Nymphs o' the Mist," and the next few years will, no doubt, see the issuance of many new pieces along this The music publishers special line. generally try to supply what the pub-Ik- ; calls for and now the desire seems to be for "Ocean Music." "Nymphs o' the Mist" possesses that weird charm that the ocean characterizes. It, is not a complicated number, but at the same tlnio it is well written and appeals alike to the best musical taste as well as to the popular fancy. From present Indications, the sale of this number will far exceed the publisher's most aneuine expectations. This incident, is only another example of the unexpectedness of public approval. As a music dealer remarked the other day, "You can never teh what will make a 'hit' with the public; but after all Is said, you will find that pieces that sell the best, possess some peculiar charm either in melody, rhythm or sentiment that Is not a part of the many pieces that are failures, and as a court, of last, resort, the public can generally be depended upon to render a fair decision. I think the whole secret of success Is originality. 'At a Georgian Canipmeeting,' made a success because It was the premier piece of its class. 'Hiawatha' made a success because it was tuneful, new and different. It was original.' " A New Rage In China.

She was very lond of her Aunt Lucy, as she called her, though she was not her own aunt, but a cousin of her mother a slight, worn woman, who stood now at the sink, patiently, while Sylvia, her slender waist girt about with a big apron, went lightly to and fro across the kitchen, and little Jane danced and sang to herself by the window, ber dark head and scarlet dress vivid in the fading light. "You ought to have a cupboard in the dining-roofor these pretty cups, Aunt Lucy," said Sylvia, stopping to look at the piece of old china in her hand. "Yes," said her aunt; "so I've told the squire. But he says we've always kept 'em there. You know how 't is with your Uncle Lemuel. If he says he will, he will, and If he says he won't, he won't." "Yes?" said Sylvia, reflectively. She stood with her pretty head on one side, forgetting to wipe the cup. "It's just that way about the pump," Mrs. Webster went on. In her thin, gentle voice. "There 'tis, up on top o' the hill, and the path steep and stony, and slipp'ry in winter, and not one of the neighbors but what has got a pump in the kitchen now.

"Good morning, Luke!" she bM, "Where's your mother? brightly. Hush! Don't say anything! It's her birthday, you know, and I've brought her " She stopped, seeing that the boy's face was grave, his manner full of an unwonted and hesitating solemnity. "What is it?" she asked quickly. "Jane," said the boy. "She's worse lots worse. I I guess she's goin' to die!" "Oh no!" cried Sylvia. "Why, she was better Lem said so!" "She's worse," he repeated stubbornly, his boyish face working.

He could put a pump in the kitchen for her! Wouldn't she like that!" "Wh what!" gasped the squire, gripping the arms of his chair, and half rising in his amazement "He said he wouldn't, and he won't!" murmured Jane, an odd little saiile puckering her pale lips.

Workingmen in demolishing the old smelter house of the first United States mint, on Seventh street, Philadelphia, have uncovered a number of relics of the early days of the republic. These relics consist of a number of foreign and domestic coins, dating as far back as 1793. Some of the interesting finds are a number of test coins that were experimented with by the officials in the olden times. These coins are similar to Chinese money, each containing a hole in the center that was filled with various kinds of metal to bring up the value oi the coin.
