An Apecdote of the Emir.

Mr.. Pyne, an English engineer resi-
dent at Cabul, in the service Of the emir,
tells a good story about his highness
and the Russians. Mr.. Pyne is stated
to have been told it by the emir himself.
The Russian governor of Turkestan sent
to the emir saying that it vas proposed
to exercise some 500 artillery and cav
airy on the Afghan frontier, md ex.
pressing the hope that it would not give
rise to apprehensions On the part of his
highness. To this his highness replied
that he had no objection, because as it
happened that he was about to exercise
5000 cavalry, artillery and infantry on
his side of the frontier at the same place
and there was plenty of room for both.
The reply to this, after thanking his
highness was that another more con.
venient site had been found for the pro-
posed maneuvers.-London Times.

The Antiquity of the Organ.

The organ is the most magnificent and
comprehensive of all musical instru
ments. While the pipes of Pan--aside
from that mythical personage-indicate
a very ancient use of pipes as a means
of producing musical sounds, the "wate1
organ of the ancients" furnishes to the
student of organ history the first tan
gible clew regarding the remote evolu.
ton of the instrument. In the second
century the magripha, al organ of ten
pipes with a crude keyboard, is said tc
have existed, but accounts Of this instru
ment are involved in much obscurity.
1t is averred that an organ-the gift OF
Constantine-was in the possession Of
King Pepin of France in 757; but Aid
helm, a monk, makes mention of an or.
gan with gilt pipes" as far back as the
year 7OO.-Daniel Spillane in Popular
Science Monthly.

He Had His Coat Repaired.

He was one of the army who are liv.

attenuated income, and n cold morn,

overcoat would be a necessary part OF
his garb for that day. He looked at it.
Twas unpresentable. He thrust his
hands deep into his pockets. They were
empty. Two direful facts, neither Of
them surprises, faced him, but he was
not annoyed. He proceeded cheerily to
a small tailor's shop and presented the
overcoat for repairs.
cit will cost you a dollar" said
Shears. ''The price is no obstacle, pro-
ceed," replied the customer. Shears
turned the coat over to a subordinate
and sat down for a chat with the heaven
sent customer, for Shears was a Span
lard. And yet he was sufficiently Amer
icanized to produce a deck Of cards and
propose a little game Of poker. The
h~eaven-sent assented. Vest buttons
made admirable chips, and the cards
