field, can offer. Its scale Of Premiums.
although considerably lower than that Of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found cutie adequate to provide for the

which Reverslonary Bonuses, averaging
2lI 6 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members Of the Society.
It's career, during a period Of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives Of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such cxces

Pipes Introduced in Cabinet Organs.

Mr.. Carl Fogelberg, a Swedish Organ
builder, has succeeded in combining pipes
with reeds rendering it possible to use
both i'll Cabinet Organs, and has secured
patents for his inventions in the United
States. The importance of doing this
has long been appreciated, but hereto
fore it has been found impracticable, the
difficulty arising from the fact that pipes
vary in pitch with every change of tenn
perature, while reeds do not, so that a
change of ten or fifteen degrees made it
impossible to use them together. In
struments which have been advertised as
Pipe Cabinet Organs have contained no
real speaking pipes, but only limitations
OF some sort. Mr.. Fogelberg uses gem
uine wood pipes of the best quality. The
substance of his inventions is an ar
rangement by which the pipes, when out
of tune from change of temperature
can be simultaneously and instantly re-
stored to the same pitch with the reeds
by the turning of single screw.
The Mason d Hamlin Organ Co. have
been thoroughly testing Mr.. Fogelberg's
inventions, and it is understood, are sat
isfed of their value, and will soon offer
them to the public. If pipes are sue.
cessfully combined with reeds, it will b,
the most important improvement evel
made In Cabinet Organs.

Germ in the matter, if it was not already

"a skeleton in his closet |" repeated
Aunt Jem, hardly comprehending what
Dick could mean, and looking from one to
the other. "Oh!" with sudden light
breaking in upon her understanding,
Did Susie leave her skeleton at your
office, Mr.. Dean?"
Somebody did," answered Fred, un-
able longer to control his. features,
which would smile and Susie, whose
risibilities were also considerably affec-
ted, burst into peal of laughter, in
which the others joined.
"I see through it now," said Dick, as
soon as he could speak. ""It was your
skirt, was it, Susie? Do you remember
what you told me about finding its
owner! You see, fate took the matter
in hand for you. 1 shall expect to see
you trudging up here tomorrow with
the aforesaid article under your arm, in
order that you may restore it to its
owner. I'll tell you in confidence what
he said about falling in love with the
skirt, and the probability of his falling
in love with its owner, if he ever found
her" added Dick, in an aside to Susie,
but loud enough for Fred to hear all he
said.
Of course they blushed, and then Aunt
Jem, who was as much of tease as
Dick, had something to say; and be-
tween the two, they kept Fred and Susie
pretty well Illustrated for the remainder
of the meal.
After dinner, there were duets in the
parlor, and then chess for Susie and
Fred, while Aunt Jem and Dick played
backgammon.
Whom the young men took their de-
parture, Fred voted that he had lust
spent one Of the most delightful even
ings he had ever known, and had prom
ised to call again.
"Whenever you choose to- said Aunt
Jem.
And, of course, he did call. And the
end of it was, as you have all foresecn,
that he restored the skeleton" to its
former owner, and received her hand in
payment for "services rendered" And
they lived happily ever after"
