The Insugsratisn Ball laat night was
simply jan and wi.hal . bers-,hs vast
crowd treading upon each others heels,
smashing sich others toes. digging each

jammsd, rsmmsd, and crammsd, stswsd
and fzxlcd, like fat mans club on hot
August day with the thermometer At 1909
in the shads--is was awful, and more %, it
was fearful. The costumes were elegant,
the women pretty and the men brace, the
supper splendid and the music rapturous.
But the crowd. oh, The crowd. spoiled the
fun, and the dancing part repaired it, while
the many who wsro compelled to 90 homo

MooR.'s Fsuir JARs.-Of all tho macy
inventions in this line the Jar abeue men
toned seems to have tho preference among |
houseksspers. One source Of its populari.
ty. 10 its simplicity. There is nothing co,n-
plsx in the manner Of putting up fruit in
these cans, the jars and lids being oil made
Of glass, there 10 no metallic substance to
rust or corrode. The pressure is SO ap.
piled that there is no danger Of brsakags
either in lid or jar. With these points in
Its favor il is not strange that it is the ia
voritc. Tho bother and trouble Of sealing
with wax and other methods Is entirely |
done away with, and the fruit 10 put up in
half the time it takes with other Jars aud
inv Olives no expense whatever in the opcr-
alton. II 10 just the thing that has long
been needed. Sec card in another column.
ORsANs-Ths demand for musical in.
s,ruments containing all the latest im.
prsvsments has been steadily increasing OF
late years. An organ Of rich. pure tone.
elegant finish, and durability Of action is At
once thing Of beauty and joy forever in
. household. While purchasing, one
should see to il, that II possible these de-
sirabls qualities be contained in the in
strument. These, and more. it 10 claimed
are found in the organs manufactured by
W. A. johnson, West6eld, Mass. Abun-
dant testimonials have been received from
she most thorough musicisns in the coun>
try. tsstifying TO these facts. Il 10 their
uaited opinion that the house above men,
tsned have introduced the latest aud bot
improvements 10 the manufacture Of organs
Of any now extant.
