DIVIDING WITH GRANDPA.

What . Little Girl Did for Her Bald.
Headed Grandfather.
Lulie was as bonny . little lassie as
ever wore blue eyes and shiny curls
and . white dress, with rutiies and q
sash.
In the summer she went to see her
grandfather. She had been there be-
fore. but it was . year ago, and she
didn't remember anything about it. ex-
cept that they had squatty dog. which
sat up and said: "Woughr' when he
wanted something to eat And a cat
that scratched her when she patted il.
And that the bedrooms smelled of dried
rose leaves. And that grandfather al
ways had nuts in his pockets, and a
watch that snapped very loud.
For she was now only four years old,
and most people find it hard. you know,
to remember things that happened =
whole quarter of their lives ago!
She was little afraid of grandfather
at first, but he was 80 kind and pleasant
that she was soon sitting on his knee,
playing with his long white beard. Then
she began to look very hard at his head.
She thought it looked very strange in
deed.
.'Oh; poor ganpa! What's ee mat
ter wis GUS head? Where is all ou's

have lived so long that my hair is all
worn out"
Lulie felt very much concerned about
it She stood up on his lap, and
peeped over his head to see how far his
forehead went back. 1t went back
very far indeed, and Lulie softly stroked
the few white hairs on his temple with
q feeling that something ought to be
done about il.
Her own hair covered her head and
hung down in long curls. 1t seemed
to her that she had . great deal more
than her share.
"l'll div 'ou some o. mine, ganpa,"
she said very earnestly.
''Will you? I'll take q curl now,
then" he said, and he took out his
penknife and cut off little curl which
he put in his pocket-book.

But mamma said. Run away and
play now. dear" and grandpa slipped
some nuts in her pocket and set her
down.
But Lulie went very soberly up to her
mammals room. Half an hour after
wards she came back with . face all
smiles and dimples.
Here's ou's s'are. ganpa!" she
cried, running up to him. Her short
dress was held up in both hands-full
of bright hair!
Everybody stared in dismay.
What wOeful havoc mamma's scissors
had played with the sunshiny curls!
On one side they waved as before,
but on the other they were unevenly
shipped off to the very crown of her
head.
Mamma looked as if she hardly knew
whether to laugh or cry. But grandpa
gathered the darling, hair and all, into
his arms with such hug as she had
never felt before.
Lulie's curls have grown long again.

her feet before grandpa will ever forget

A GREAT ORGAN.
The Second Largest Instrument in the
World.

The Second Largest Instrument In the
World.
The largest organ in the world. with
the exception of the one in Riga, Russia,
is in the Cathedral Of the Incarnations at
Garden City. L. l., the church built by
Mrs. A. I. Stewart, rs q memorial to
her husband. The instrument is dis
tributed in four distinct and widely sep
arated localities of the cathedral, al.
though the whole il under the control
of one performer, through the agency Of
an electric action. In an octagonal
chamber, built for the purpose in the
angle formed by the transept and chan
eel walls is the largest portion of the
instrument. The organ is here divided
into floors, or stories, and in the base
ment are the engine, countershaft, etc.
Above this ON floor of brick and iron.
are the bellows and the wind chest, on
which rest the thirty-two-foot pipes.
The great organ windchest, with that of
the reeds and fixtures of the pedal or
gan are on the next level and then fol-
lows the swell organ, and, above all. the
choir. Each of the three manual wind
chests is furnished with its own auxili-
ary reservoir or regulator" where the
wind is reduced to the pressure needed
for that department.
In the tower at the western end Of
the cathedral is the next important di-
vision of the organ. In this room. which
is fifteen feet square, and is high enough
to admit Of one windchest being sup
ported above another. are placed parts
of the great swell, and pedal organs
and the whole of the solo organ, the SEC
ond of these being above the first, the
third at one side, and the fourth at the
back. In the chapel beneath the cs-
thedral is the third section. which is
provided with claviers of its own, so
that it may be made independently
available for chapel purposes. This
comprises part of the choir organ, di-
vided here between two manuals and
two of the pedal stops. Its tone rises
into the church through the different
staircases and the distance lends en-
chantment to the sound. The last part
consists of the echo organ and one pedal
stop, whick is placed between the CELL
ing and the roof, above the intersection
of the nave and transept. The mystic
rious source Of the tones produces an in
teresting effect.
Steam power is used in Initiating the
bellows. One engine is placed beneath
the chancel division to supply it with
compressed air, and another beneath
the tower to operate the bellows of the
chapel division, the tower division. and
the magnetic machine, which generates
the electricity. All the wires used in
making the electric connections of the
instrument stretched out in . continu.
Gus circuit would extend over distance
Of twenty-one miles.-N Y TSmea

For Good Purposes.

Mrs. A. N. Dauphin, of 1889 Ridge Ave-,
Philadelphia is well known to the ladies
OF that city from the great good she has
done by means of Lydia E.. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. She writes Mrs.
Pinkham of recent interesting case. "a
young married lady came to me suffering
with severe case of Prolapsus and Ulcer
alton. She commenced taking the Com
pound and in two months was fully restored.
In proof of this she soon found herself in
an interesting condition. Influenced by
foolish friends she attempted to evade the
responsibilities of maternity. After ten or
twelve days she came to me again and she
was indeed in a most alarming state and
suffered terribly. 1 gave her a tablespoon
full of the compound every hour for eight
hours until she fell asleep, she awoke much
relieved and evidently better. She con-
tinued taking the Compound, and in due
season she became the mother of a fine
healthy boy. But for the timely use Of the
medicine she believes her life would have
been lost"

II is the custom in these countries
often to place photographs of the peo-

some, some plain, some ugly, but all
human and real, and nothing idealized.
The clothing, too. was perfect, collars,
cuffs, hats, neckties and patterns of
gentlemen's clothes and ladies' silk or
brocade dresses being given in perfec-
ton. Thus the STYLES of the day are
preserved, and l, careless observer,

veil worn here great deal instead of
a bonnet; the other, young girl on "a
bed. Christ, life-size, standing by her,
and below the friends kneeling and
weeping. l suppose there were at
least two hundred like these. Each is
elaborate and interesting in its way.
Everywhere we went the air was per-
fumed with shrubs, which are cult

open ground each grave is marked
with cross for headstone, and all
the crosses face in the same direction,

blood-poisoning VIII ch recently came

serious nature, and were occasioned
BY the lips of the persons coming in
contact with cigars that had been
made by workmen tainted with
the poison. There have been
numerous inventions in pipes. cigar
holders, etc., brought forward for the
purpose of keeping the nicotine away
from the smokers mouth. But the
trouble with all these things is that,
while very good at first. " soon be.
come worse than useless. The smoker
gets careless and lets the nicotine accu-
mulate in the stem, and thence it drops
into the mouth of the smoker. The
only arrangement VIII l have ever
seen which cleanses tobacco smoke of
this poison is attained by passing the
smoke through water, which washes
out the nicotine. That is the plan of
the Turkish .hookah,' but very few
Americans like that style of smoking
very long. On the whole, it is safe for
a man to smoke good gars in modera-
ton. carefully avoiding drugged and
'fixel. up preparations of tobacco.

more marked curve than the other
fashionable hat. The crush or opera
hat always follows the lead of the silk
