The Antiquity of the Organ

The organ is the most magnificent and
comprehensive Of all musical instru-
ments. While the pipes of Pan-alde
from that mythical personage-indicate
very ancient use of pipes as means
OF producing musical sounds, the water
organ of the ancients" furnishes to the
student OF organ history the first tan
gible clsw regarding the remote evoln-
ton Of the instrument In the second
century the nlagTipha, an organ Of ten
pipes with crude keyboard, Is said TO
have existed, but accounts Of this instru-
ment are involved IN much ohscurity

Jonah and the Whale.

There is nothing in the original texts Of
the Bible to show that the creature which
we are told swallowed Jonah was really
the same animal we call whale in this
day and age of the world. The word trans
lated into both the Septuagint and the New
Testament was the Greek word ''Katos u
which means simply a sea monster, and this
word was the one used by our Lord in his
reference TO the account of Jonah's ex-
plot. So far, therefore, as the Hebrew or
Greek words are concerned, the monster
may have been a shark, a sea serpent or
some other uncanny denizen of the deep.
Hence there is nothing incredible in the
statement that Jonah, upon being thrown
into the sea, was quickly overtaken by
some water monster and swallowed with
out suffering mutilation. To Biblical stu
dents it is a well known fact that vessel
sailing from Joppa to any Spanish port
must pass through section swarming
with a species of shark called sea dog"
These dog has a throat large enough to
swallow fair sized men.-St. Louis Repub.

EaVareS of Rabbits.

In some sections OF California and sew
eraI of the northwestern states the PEG
pie are beginning to realize that the
remarkable stories told OF the ravages Of
rabbits In Australia are true, because
they are now suffering somewhat from
the little pests themselves. The only
etfectual means of abating the nuisance
so far discovered seems TO be the

WHY some Rahie. Crr.

A great many babies cry out of pure
cussedness. They have no reason what
ever. have seen them stop playing to
begin to howl, refusing both food and
drink. Often a child viii wake up, be-
gin crying, and fail off 70 sleep again.
Babies show individuality, and cry just
as adults grunble. scold, lecture. bang
things about and swear. There may or
may not be cause for the outburst, but
there is certain amount Of relief which
has physiological if not moral value.

Two women and baby were the

Of the baby, hrs. A, with her precious
| charge, a lusty boy of thirteen months,
drove over 20 pay visit to friend In
Brooklyn VINO was staying with resi-
dent of that city with whom Mrs. A.
was slightly acquainted. The friend
whom she had come to see had just left
but the lady of the house pleasantly re-

that certain Brooklyn shop was offer
ing wonderful bargains in that line,
whereupon Mrs. A. confessed her need
and desire for these articles. and in the
end carried off Mrs. B. in her carriage
to guide her TO the desired shop. Ar
rived there, the dilemma of what to do
with the baby was finally solved by Mrs.
B., who was sure she could amuse him
long enough for his mother to accom-
plish her purpose.
With some misgivings Mrs. A. left
and Mrs. B. found within FIVE minutes
of her disappearance that she had IN
dertaken serious responsibility. The
child became frightened at being with a
stranger and cried vehemently. Mrs.
B. kept him In the carriage as long as
possible, then got out and walked with
him, but, as all Fulton street began TO
get interested, she in despair thought
she must hunt up his mother.
She went into the shop, the baby
screaming at the top OF his voice, and
made her way, embarrassed and irri-
tsted, through the crowd 70 the linen
counter. Mrs. a. was not there nor ap-
parently anywhere else in the shop, for
Mrs. B. made search as thoroughly as
her roaring charge would permit with

Baker to a guest of the Southern, who
was wearing his jaw in sling as the re-

getting more than they were sent for.
"While jolly Dick Hubbard was min

spent pleasant week with him. One
day was troubled with the toothache,

and tilted slightly back. The dentist
examined my teeth, talking volubly
meanwhile to Uncle Sans representa-

closed on the troublesome tooth, and

held it up before me, smiling at tho

The fish was resting quietly within a

AS the scale was slowly sinking, the
fish suddenly darted downward, drew
the scale into its mouth and rose toward
the surface, where it remained motion

performance was repeated several times.
Whatever may have been the exact
motive which prompted these actions on

va1,,a of the shilling in 1eOo.

We know that in Shakespeares day,
say A. D. 1900, sixpence day was a
fortune for any workingman, say the
equivalent of ten pounds per annum. A
century earlier, before the access to
America was open to English explorers,
one of the Ardens Of Warwickshire left
an annuity Of forty shillings per snnum
to a younger son, probably the poets
grsat-gra1dunels. Then If gixpsnce q
day weuld new bs the equivalent to
twenty shillings q week, then forty shil-
lings per annum would equate to $50
of present values. Notes and Queries.

4 STRANGE Feasting Custom.

There was strange custom in the Isle
of Lewis, when the people used to gather
to the church of St. Midway at night,
each family bringing provisions, and
each family furnishing a peck of malt,
which was brewed into ale. One who was
chosen for the purpose waded into the
sea up to his middle and poured out cup
of ale, calling on sea god called Shony
to favor the people through the coming
year. The people, after seeing the cere-
mony performed, returned to the church.
and then went to the fields to spend the
rest of the night in revelry.-New York
