The Organ of Former Days.

The organ is of a much more remote
origin than the piano, since it has been
known for more than 1000 years. Con-
stantine is said to have presented one to
one of the kings of France in the Eighth
century; and the monks were among the
first performers on them, though 1t must
have been a somewhat painful process, the
striking of the broad keys with the fist
being necessary to produce a sound, while
the bellows worked laboriously. Organs
were used first in churches aud cathedrals,
but monotonous effect it must have
yielded under the hardy blows Of the
bending monk as he sat on his high stool
in front of the huge structure; for even
in it's primal days the organ had gilded
pipes just as the magnificent organ at
Pasadena, on the Pacific slope, which has
attracted so much admiration of late The
pedal was of later invention and added
much to the tone of the organ; when it
was made sufficiently large to rest the
foot upon instead of the tip of the toe
moro force could be applied to its pressure
and its tone increased or diminished at
will. The water organ is prior to any
other, and, though consisting of diulinu-
tive pipes and limited in number, served
good purpose, and now that the organ
initiates in some measure most of the
other instruments it is truly an astonish-
ing piece of workmanship Demo

Chinese Care Of the Body.

The Chinese feel the utmost repugranee
TO any uualation of tho body. not on ac-
count OF the pain or the fear of death.
but because Of the sentiment that IL Is a
mans duty to keep intact. as far as ho
can. the body which his parents have be-
queathed to him. Il forms part Of that
system Of filial piety which Is the or
thodox religion of China. and has had Is
share In producing the Chinese DISLIKE Of
wars and revolutions. Patiently and I'M
complainingly as most Chinese viii 60
through O surgical operation, IL Is well
known that they strongly object TO am
putation. and il is often difficult To in
duce them to submit to IL. They In
variably ask for the severed limb. which
they either keep in a box. to be buried
with the original owner on his death. or
they eat it, This latter method has tho
countenanceo of antiquity; what Is severed
from the body by accident or necessity is
returned to it.
A work which has been called the Chi
nese prose "Iliad" records of certain
hero that. when drawing out stray
arrow which entered his eve In battle. the
eye came with the weapon. whereupon no
swallowed the former with grest sang
froid, observing that fathers hesb and
mothers blood should not be thrown
away. Some commentators on the work
say that as temporary expeoient this
was quite allowable. and even commend
able. but the regular course would be to
wrap up the eye and keep IL until death.
Teeth are treated in much the same way.
Mix teeth are regarded as mere make
shift of nature, and, therefore. not pos
sessed Of the dignity of adult teeth. The
latter are carefully kept when they como
out. or they arc ground 10 powder and
swallowed in water. for they are part Of
the parents bequest- Another phase Of
this subject Is the practice. 80 frequently
commended BY the emperor. Of making
broth for sick parent out Of fe.h CO.
from rs body Of the child The efficacy
Of the practice Ia that 1t restores To the
parent a portion of his own essence.
Viceroys are constantly begging for spe-
cial rewards 10 be bestowed on children
who have ruutua:ed themselves tor this

Seeking q Model Cavalry Horse.

Although the Arab horse is celebrated
for his feats of endurance and courage,
the impression prevails in army circles in
this country that the Arab blood so COM
mon in American horses mist be modified
by a reinfusion of the strain Of heavier
steeds. 1t is becoming difficult in this
country, where horses are so plentiful, to
mount over 10000 cavalry, as the desider-
alum Of an animal which unites great
speed with weight, carrying power and
endurance. is hard to pick out from the
animals brought before the purchasing
army. The formation Of q government
stud. modelled on those of France, Ger
many and Austria, hes been suggested By
cavalry officers, who find plenty Of heavy
horses, and plenty Of speedy horses, but
few that are both heavy and speedy.
The same trouble Is experienced in Eng
land, where it is said that the horses Of
fered to the purchasing officers are alto
gether too line" for the service. Austria
seems to have some nearness to solving
the problem OF producing the model cav
airy horse IN Hungary. Proud Is Turkey
is of its possession of the Arab stock, It
buys largely in Austria when it can rsiss
the money to procure cavalry reuou1ts--
