An Old Organ Man po~,t

That peculiar form of street artist whom the poet apostrophizes as "grinder who serenely grindeth at my door the hundredth psalm, till thou ultimately fndest pence in thine un- washen palm," seems to enjoy at Berlin a special cult of his own. A reader writes to one of the Berlin papers that while passing through the Charlotten- burg Chaussee he recognized an ancient street musician whom he had once known in long-distant student days. ''To my astonishment, says this cor respondent, ''I saw two ladies stop be- fore the barrel organ, lay flowers on the Instrument reverently, place a bot tie of wine, a large cake, and a German sausage on its time-worn summit. and silently retire. The musician informed me that the day in qnestion-Septem- Der 16-was his jubilee, and the twenty fifth anniversary of his station on that particular spot" For twenty-five wears this retired soldier-in Berlin many of the organ men have seen seryice-bad been paying out his music under the seifsame tree, and there were those who for twenty-five years had endured 1t and had not called his harmless art crime" Here is an example of pa- tience for the British householder The organ man, like the mills of tba gods, grinds slowly. As to our na- tience, he generally grinds it exceedino small. l.-Pal Mall Gazette.

 At college commencement, the gowns vary according to the traditions of the alma mater. New York institu- tions of learning set a very good exam pie to the rest of the country in this re- spect. Columbia has superb gown. It clings tightly about the neck, is loose in the sleeves, and flows widely from the waist down. It is generally admitted that no living man wears 8 gown with more majesty than does

 There can be no doubt that the use of the gown will spread greatly in a short time. One college after another is taking it up, and the judges of the courts all over the land express them selves very favorably towards it.

to on that ground. Iknow of no better way of explaining the custom among ourselves than by a comparison of it with the practice among soldiers of wearing a uniform. Were the uni- form, also, badge of privilege, it would become odious. Our soldiers wear their uniforms as a means to certain we'll understood end. It gives them no additional authority. Their prestige is not due to it, but to personal merit and ability. The justices wear their gowns as an outward mark of their inward appreciation of the dignity and impor- tance of the great trust committed to them. The same feeling in another way prompts the construction of our magnificent public buildings. Congress could do it's work very well if it met in a two-story brick house, but instead superb capitol is provided, not merely for housing room, but as an outward evidence of it's position as the legis- lative branch of the government. All our public buildings are constructed to be as imposing and dignifed as pos sible, for democracy cannot be too majestic"

Probably the busiest official in Wash

ton of the income tax conform to the
decision of the supreme court. He has
the benefit of the advice of President
Cleveland and all the members of the
cabinet, but it is hard task all the
same. If there ever was a more un-
popular decision of the supreme court
handed down than that declaring incomes
derived from rents and state and muni-
cipal bonds constitutionally exempt from
federal taxation nobody in Washington
remembers it. The question of the
constitutionality of the remainder of the
income tax was not decided, the court
standing to 4 with Justice jackson alb
sent on account of sickness. This leaves
the decision of the lower court, affirming
the constitutionality of the law in force,
but it also leaves a cloud over the law
that will remain until the question is
