PRODUCTION of church organs.
There was no orchestra such as was tc
be found in many of the larger churches,
and the singing was conducted in the
"good old way" one of the congregation
starting the tune.
This duty fell to one of the deacons of
the church, and although he was promo &c
pitch the tunes very high no fault was
ever found by the minister or the congre-
cation, who did as well as they could con-
sidcring the altitude at which their vocal
fcats had to be performed.
On one occasion, however, the minister
exchanged with brother from a neigh
boring town whose ears had been trained
by long experience with tuning fork
When he had given out the hymn and the
deacon had sung the first line, the minis

"Hold on therc!" he cried in ringing
tones. You've got that too high"
"Will you please lower itY" said the dea-
con meekly after an astonished pause

and he proceeded to Clover" the tune
after which the hymn continued without

Honesty Rewarded In This Life,

"The case presented in last night pa
per of reward of SO being paid for the
return of $50 reminds me OF similar an
ecdote-only different" said the ancient
New England member of the club this
morning. A!It happened in Providence, r.
l., 40 years ago, when the city contained
but one millionaire who was an old
Scotchman named Alexander Duncan
One day Mr.. Duncan, in leaving his office
dropped large roll of bank notes in the
street. They escaped his eye, but not that
of the small boy who is around every
where, ard who pounced upon the bills
Immediately. The roll contained $780,
When Mr.. Duncan received it he eagerly
counted the money, and finding it correct,
he turned to the boy and said: L thank
We. my little man. Then noticing the
look of dismay in the poor lads counte-
nance, he felt in his trousers pocket and
fished out a coin, which he handed to the
finder of his wealth. And the coin repre-
sesntcd-what do you thinll?'
Five dollars"

"a half dollar"
"A quarter of q dollar"
just half of that. 1t was an old Span
ish coin that we used to call ninepence
in New England and that you called a

was 12% cents which Alexander Duncan,
the millionaire of Providence, paid to the
honest boy who found and returned to him

A WORD ABOUT BREAKFASTS.
Suggestions About Planning-Variety Fox
This Somewhat Neglected Meal.

Suggestions About Planning-Variety Fox
This Somewhat Neglected Meal.
"Wcll begun, half DONE" is good mot
to for the breakfast season in kitchen and
dining room, and some variety must be
planned for if one attains it easily. In
warm weather many families find coffee
and rolls, with fruit in season, or oat flake
or germoa, enough for breakfast, but
where members go out from home to work
there is need of q more substantial meal.
For breakfast meats nothing, of course,
equals broiled ham or lamb chops, writes
u Good Housekeeping correspondent, who
suggests, when failing these that cheap
steak can be minced at the butchers and
formed into balls to fry, called Hamburg
steaks, - or quickly cooked by stirring in
melted butter. Served hot this will appeal
to the poor appetite and dyspeptic stom'
ach. Clipped dried beef should be cooked,
not served raw, for breakfast picked into
thin bits and "frizzed" in hot butter OF
fryings, then covered with sweet milk OF
cream gravy; it is excellent with hot toast
or cakes. Cold boiled ham, minced fine
and served with eggs, fried, poached,
cooked in eggcups, or omelet gives anCsh-
or variety. Corned beef hash, with gen
crous addition OF catchup, is nice; indeed, q
variety of cold meats may be used togcth'
or by n cook who has Judgment in season
ing, and when some fruit or melon Is
served with cereal course and good hu.
NOR prevails the day may be said to have
been well begun.
Potatoes, boiled, baked, mashed warmed
over lin balls or in baking dish, crcamed
or escaloped), fried (raw or in slices OF
minced), give u variety of ten easy ways.
Then there are numerous combinations.
Odd bits of meat minced and mixed with
too small quantity of potato to serve
alone may be seasoned and heated togeth'
or and poured over toasted crackers OF
bread. Boiled corn left from dinner is ex-
cellcnt when fried with chopped cold pota-
