A Great Organ.

From the New York Times
The largest organ in the world, with
the exception OF the one in Riga, Rus
sia, is in the Cathedral OF the Incarna-
tion at Garden City, L. L., the church
built by Mrs. 4. II. Stewart as a me-
mortal to her husband. Theinstrument
is distributed in four distinct and
widely separated localities of the ca
thedral, although the whole is under
the control of one performer, through
the agency of an electric action. In an
octagOnal chamber, built for the pur-
pose in the angle efOrmed by the transept
and chancel walls is the largest portion
of the instrument. The organ Is here
divided into floors, or stories, and in
the basement are the engine, counter
shalt, etc. Above this, on floor OF
brick and iron, are the bellows and
the windchest, on which rest the
thirty-two foot pipes. Thegreat organ
windchest, with that for the reeds and
mixtures OF the pedal organ, are on
the next level, and then follows the
swell organ, and. above all, the choir.
Each of the three manual windchests
is furnished with its own auxiliary
reservoir. or regulator" where the
wind is reduced to the pressure need
ed for that department.
In the tower at the western end OF
the cathedral is the next important
division of the organ. In this room,
which is fifteen feet square, and Is high
enough to admit of one windchest be
ing supported above another, are
placed parts of the great swell, and
pedal organs and the wholeof the solo
organ, the second of these being above
the first. the third at one side, and the
fourth at the back. In the chapel be
meath the cathedral is the third sec
ton, which is provided with ciaviers
of its own, so that it may be made in
dependently available for chapel pur-
poses. This comprises a part OF the
choir organ, divided here between two
manuals and two OF the pedal stops.
It's tone rises into the church through
the different staircases and the dis
tance lends enchantmenJt to thesound.
The last part consists OF one echo or

and they We're renewed by the Bishop
OF Versailles Just before the Whit-sun
festival, among those present being
the parish priest of Argenteuil, who
tells me that the holy tunic is made
OF camel's hair, being dark brown in
color, and very much like the garment
which the Arabs of the present day
wear next the skin. He adds that
1t was examined through microscope,
and that all who We're present unani-
mously agreed that they could detect
not stains but traces which they are
convinced are of blood. Beyond re-
marking that there is no inherent inn
possibility In a camel's hair garment
being preserved for s centuries, | do
not feel called upon to express any
opinion as to the authenticity of this
relic, which, however, is venerated as
such by all Catholics, and believed by
them to have been the means of effect
ing many miraculous cures, among
Others those of the eldest son of Lord
Clifford, the Marquis d'Harcourt, and
the COmte de Damas, who was for
many years a companion of the
COmte de ChambOrd.

AMIGO SCORCHED.
a Most Destructive Conflagration Among
the Stocks of Lumber-A Close Call
for the MilIs-The Loss Placed at
$500, 900.

An extensive lumber fire occurred at
Amigo, on the line of the Milwaukee,
Lake Shore q Western road, on the
night OF the Doth. The fire consumed
between $4,000, 900 and 2O,OOO,O0O
feet of lumber, and was undoubtedly
the most destructive of it's kind that
ever occurred in this state. The work
OF destruction began shortly after 9
O'Clock, when a spark from a smoke
stack set fire to lumber piles, and in a
comparatively short time the whole
yard was in a blaze. AS the lumber
covered an area of thirty acres, the
volume OF flame was so great that the
country was illuminated by the glare
for miles around. As the lumber was
on both sides of the tack of the Lake
Shore y Western road, about one
quarter OF a mile OF the track was
destroyed, together with the telegraph
poles and wires. The operator main
tanned a connection with the general
offices, however, by cutting into
the wires south of the burning
territory, and improvised a tele
graph office in a side-traeked freight
car. The burning of the track caused
delay of two hours to the south
bound train, but a large force of men
was put to work as soon as the heat
would permit, and the track was relaid
in time for the other passenger trains.
Three freight cars were destroyed. The
loss will be about 100000. and is
distributed among the following lum-
ber-owners: j. H. Weed, 500, 1000; S.
Bryant & Co., 100000; Sands & Co.,
$4,000, Paine Lumber Company,
S15, 900; A. Weed, $40, 900; Methudy
q Meyers, 100000; H. Hewitt, 81
600; H. Week, $4,000; H. Reid, of
Dubuque, 5000; McElwee, Billings &
Carney, $4,000, while the losses of
other firms will aggregate about $50,
600. The saw and planning mills were
saved by great exertions. The pumps
in the mill did not work well, and as
there is no fire engine the work was
done by bucket brigades.

Infuse your tea. Don't boil it!
Place one teaspoOnful OF tea in the

cups OF boiling water-that is, water
really boiling. 1t is cheaper, though,
to buy good tea at the outset. Put
your pot on the back part Of the stove,
carefully covered, so that it shall not
lose its heat and the tea its bouquet.
Let it remain there five eminutes. Then
drink it.
Drink your tea plain. Don't add
milk nor sugar. Tea brokers and tea
tasters never do; epicures never do;
the Chinese never do. Milk contains
ibrin, albumen or some other such
stuff and the tea a delicate amount OF
tannin. Mixing the two makes the
liquid turbid. This turbidity, if |
remember the cyclop~dia Alright, is
tannate of fibrin, or leather. People
who put milkin tea are therefore drink
ing boots and shoes in mild disguise.

Many Of your readers will doubtless

Germany, but that at Argenteuil is
alleged TO be the inner garment which
the Savior wore, and for which the
Roman soldiers cast lots. The holy
tunic is enclosed within a double

under seal by the bishop OF the do
