Tune Aids Mastication. Mr. Beecham has declared music at meals a nuisance. Such was not the opinion of Michael Mail in "Under the Greenwood Tree." "Truly now," be said, "there is a friendly tie of some, sort between music and eating. I was once sitting in the little kitchen of the Three Choughs at Casterbridge, hav ing a bit of dinner, and a brass band Btruck up in the street. Such a beautiful-band as that were! I was sitting eating fried liver and lights I well can mind. Ah, I was! and to save my life 1 couldn't help chewing to the tune. Band played six-eight time; six-eight six-eight chews I willy-nilly! Band plays common; common time went my teeth ainong the fried liver and lights as true as a hair. Beautiful 'twere. Ah, I shall never forget that there band!" London Chronicle.
