Prof. John r. Sweeney. who ranks
among the foremost composers in the
land. when boy in West Chester
showed decided aptitude for music.
While still in his teens he was giving
lessons on the cornet, the violin, and
the piano. Every cent he received in
payment for these lessons went to pay
the instructors OF whom he in turn
took lessons. 1t Is not many years
now since he ceased receiving instruc.
ton, yet his friends thought he knew
nearly all there was to know OF the
art. He did not think so, and con,
tinued to take lessons until his mind
had grown beyond the period when

FARM la VI.

A farmer has right to use all the
water he wishes for his cattle to drink,
for his family use; also, to irrigate his
land but after he has done all this he
must let the water he does not need
flow in its original channels or bed, so
that his next neighbor may have the
use of It, too.
He may build an ice or fish pond,
but he cannot build it so as to back
the water on his neighbor's land. If
he does so, he is liable in damage for
trespass. He, h"nge the origi-

But, as a good piano stands we'll in
tune, there is no reason why its string
quality of tone should not be allowed
to replace that of its elder sister-the
harp. It is superior to the organ in
many vocal accompaniments, especially
where it IS desirable that the full force
Of the words sung shall be heard by
the worshippers. The harmonies of
the piano blend with the voice much
better than do those of the organ, while
the principal defect Of the organ, In
reproducing the effect Of the orches ira,
is in failing to give the string tone
which the piano measurably provides.
The prejudice against the piano as
as being a secular instrument will
gradually die out. Many grand pianos
have already found their way into the
wealthier churches, and more will
surely follow.
The best church music will more
and more promote the era of true
spiritual good fellowship reconciliation,
agreement, concord, which was prop
hesied by the angels on the plains of
Galilee, in the joyful SALVATION of the
Christ's yuie-tide:
"Glory be to God on high, and on
earth, peace, good will toward men,"

HOW TO SEAL A LETTER.

The ability to ssseal' a letter correctly
is said to be one of the lost arts. In
the good old days of goose quilts, loose
sand for blotting and fine sealing wax
for adhesive purpose, delicacy and
dexterity is putting the wax into the
right place without burning ones
fiugers, was necessary part of q liberal
education. Nowadays the arc has almost
passed out of remembrance. Here is
the correct method Of sealing letter >
When the letter is ready lay the seal on
the table, at your right hand, and in
such position that when used the I'M
preston may be square and right side
up. Then hold the was above the
flame of the gas or candle, but not
near enough to burn. When the wax
has been gradually softened apply it
with circular m -oament, upon the
place to be sealed 90 we'll around
and down until You have circle Of
proper size and thickness. The wax,
still soft, has cooled sufficiently to
take clear impression. Hold the
envelop little distance from the fame
until the wax has again become soft,
then moisten the seal and apply it.
The result will be clear cut impression
There will be no adhesion OF wax to
sent no breakage and no irregular wax
strings hanging about tie paper. The
letter cannot be opened without
destruction of the seal itself which IN
old conventional style will serve as a
remembrance of the sender and of the
security of the con ems Of the letter.
