5 la l3 Cabinet and ParlOr Organs.
These have become the most ipopul

A E t
 These have become the most popular
 of large musical instruments. There
 are now, about two hundred and fifty
 makers of them in the United States,
 who produce more than forty thousand
 organs per annum. Most of them are very poor instruments. This is naturally
 so, because there are few articles in the
 manufacture of, which so much saving
 can be made by the use of inferiori i'm
 properly prepared material, and inferior
 workmanship, and yet which, when fin-
 ished, show so little difference to the average purchaser. The important parts of an organ, made as well as they can be, cost two or three times as much as
 if made as low as possible. Yet, when
 the organ is done, 1t is not easy from
 casual hearings to tell the difference be- tween the best and a very poor one. Els
 pecially when shown by one who knows
 how to cover up defects, to one who has
 not special skill in such matters, it is not | difficult to make a poor organ appear
 good one. eE t
 The temptation to makers, then; to
 produce, at 8 fraction of the cost, an or
 gan which will sell almost as well as Q
 good one is almost irresistible. Hence
 the fact that so few good organs are made
 and so many poor ones, and that the
 country is flooded with peddlers and
 dealers selling these poor organs, which
 pay such large profits. The buyer of the
 poor organ does not fail to find out his
 mistake after a while. The thin reedy
 tone of his cheap organ soon becomes
 offensive, it works noisily and roughly,
 is constantly out of order, and becomes
 useless by the time a really good in
 strument would have been getting into Its prime. Agood organ cughtsto last Q generation, 1t least poor one may last, five years, with considerable tinker ing ser naay break down much sooner. lTo Ehere is one safe way det3agenuine
