DISFRANCHIsED DENOMINATION

In public address in his church in
Boston the Sunday before election, the
Rev. ]. M. Foster of the Second Re-
formed Presbyterian church declared
that he and all loyal members Of his de
nomination were disfranchised, because
both the Republican and Democratic
the United States, and that instrument
claims of Jesus Christ. the King Of
prerogatives of the governor among the
nations, and fragrant violation of his
holy and just and good law
Reformed Presbyterians," said M.
Foster, deny themselves political priv
iieges, not from motives of unpatriotic
disloyalty to the country, but from SEN
timents of patriotic loyalty to Christ.
We cannot swear to support the consti-
tuition, because it does not acknowledge
Almighty God as the source of all au-
thority, the Lord Jesus Christ as King
of Nations, and the Bible as the founda-
tion of all law; because the constitution
makes public opinion, and not the law
of God, the supreme standard; because
the constitution contains provisions that
are contrary to the divine law The
presidents oath omits the name of God.
An appeal to God is the very essence
of the oath, because refusing to swear
to support the constitution is the only
way in which Christian citizens can free
themselves from responsibility for these
evils, and because refusing to swear to
support the constitution is the hest and
only remedy for its evils"

tion, but with only feeble success and
with complete loss of it's semi barbar-
Gus and stimulating character.
WHERE THE REAL ART LIES
The real art of bagpiping lies in the
introduction of ornamental notes or
warblers. A piper of the first magnitude
can introduce a warble of eleven notes,
but it is conceded to be something of an
achievement to work in seven. The ca
pacity of the average piper is five.
The Irish pipe. as before mentioned,
has pair of bellows placed in the bag,
and this saves considerable wind pow
er. Moreover the chaunter gives ten
and twelve notes, big Improvement on
the eight contained in the Scotch instru-
ment. The reeds are softer, too making
it a more convenient instrument for
drawing room use than the Scotch af-
fair.
The Scotch Northumbrian instrument
Is smaller than the others and more sub
dued. The chaunter in addition to the
eight sound holes has five keys in the
back, affording that many additional
notes. In this style of bagpipe the long
wall with which the Scotch type begins
and ends is obviated, which of itself is
an important consideration.
There is an abundance of music writ
ten especially for the bagpipe. One col
lection contains 213 tunes, and a more re.
cent one 243. The chief piper of Queen
Victoria is the recognized authority on
the instrument today.

traditional fate of the August girl who
neglects to wear her birthday stone:
Wear a sardonyz. or for thee
No conjugal felicity.
The August-born without this stone,
'Tis said must live unloved and alone.
The September maid is actually threat
ened with diseases of the mind If she
does not wear a sapphire, while poor
less she wears an opal. The topaz is
the talismanic gem of the November
maiden, and the torquoise brings happi-
ness to the girl who is born in Decem-
Der. The garnet is the January stone;
February claims the amethyst, and
March greedily insists on two talismanic
stones-the ruby and the bloodstone.
Some very pretty engagement rings
have been made of late of a circle of
stones the initial letters of which form
the given name of the burothed. For
instance, Dorothy is made with a dia-
mond, an opal, a ruby, an olivine, a tour
maline, a hyacinth and a yellow sap
phire. Ethel is made with an emerald, a
topaz, a hyacinth, an essonite and a
Labradorite. Violet may be spelled by
a vermeille or a verd antique. an ioite,
an opal, Labradorite, an essonite and
tourmaline-all curious gems that
have been very fashionable of late.
Gertrude may be spelled by a garnet, an
emerald. ruby turquoise, rose
quartz, Uralian emerald, a diamond
and an epidote. Almost any name can
be traced, and many of the rings thus
made are very handsome, besides having
the advantage of originality-Phila-

toria is immensely fond of the music,

II it turns out to be true that the bag
pipe is to be made popular society Will
be adopting the music of the ancients,
for the bagpipe has existed longer than
the Christian era.
The instrument is generally associ-
ated with Scotland, but in many of the
European countries it has been the mu-
sic of the rustics for numberless CEN
turies.
In France the bagpipe is called the
cornmuse. in Italy cornamusa and in
Germany sackpfeife AS has been said
it is of great antiquity. the ancient
Greeks and Romans using it, and it was
evidently a popular instrument in the
time of Nero, as it appears on one of
the coins of his reign. Nero himself
was a performer on the bagpipe, and
it is mentioned by the historian Pre-
Roman infantry.
1t seems that it did not come into
general favor in Scotland until well into
the close of the fifteenth century. But
prior to that it was an instrument of
note in England. In the crozier given
by William of Wyckham to New Col
lege Oxford. in 1903, there is figure of
an angel playing it. Chaucer's miller
performed upon it, as shown in these
lines: "a bagpipe we'll couth he blowe
and sowne." Shakespeare evidently did
not fancy it. and he refers to the antip-
athy of the people, who laughed like
parrots at ''the drone of a Lincolnshire
bagpipe." In Louis XIV's time the bag
pipe formed one of the Instruments in
cluded in the band of the "Grande Ecu
RE" and was played at the court con-
certs.
FOUR PRINCIPAL TYPES.
There are four recognized types of the
bagpipe, the Scotch Highland the
Scotch Lowland. the Irish and the
Northumbrian The Scotch Highland
type Is, of course more largely in use
at the present time than any of the
others, but If the bagpiping habit should
attain popular proportions. it is prob
able that the Irish or the Northumbrian
type will be used. as they are sweeter
have wider range. and more impor-
tant confederation is that the wind is
supplied by squeezing small bellows in
the bag under the arm.
The general appearance of all four
types is the same. In the Scotch in
strument Waived tube leads from the
mouth to the bag. or wind chest, which
has four other orifices. three large
enough TO contain the bases of three

another smaller to which is fitted the
chaunter. The three drones are thrown
on the shoulder. and the fourth is held

secure the jewel. No woman, it is said,
ever feels herself to be really engaged
until solitaire flashes upon her finger.
There are all sorts of sentimental reas-
ons why 1.-The gem of purest ray serene
is the most appropriate gift lover can
make to his future bride. 1t is the SYM
Dol of purity. Its crystal must be with
out flaw, as seems to him the maiden of
his choice. Likewise is the diamond re-
garded as a talisman to insure future
married bliss, for according to tradition,
it doth preserve peace and prevent do
mestic storms" Could would-be Bene-
diets ask for more?
There is another reason why the dia-
mond should be chosen for the engage
ment ring. 1t is regarded as the finest OF
all gems. True it is that the ruby. If 1t
be large and of pure water, costs actual
ly more than the diamond. This, how
ever, is on account of It's rarity. In point
of beauty the diamond always stands
first. Naturally, then, the lover would
choose it for his lady love.
To have the engagement ring of the
birthday stone of the future bride has
been quite a fad during the past year,
and the idea is a pretty one. If the fair
maid first saw the light in the month of
flowers and sunshine. smiles and tears,
the diamond is her talismanic gem. The
old song has it:
She who from April dates her years,
Diamonds must wear, lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow. This stone
Emblem of innocence is known.
The May maiden should wear an en-
erald, according to tradition:
Who first beholdss the light of day
In springs sweet, flowery month of May
And wears an emerald all her life,
Shall be a loved and happy wife.
The agate is June's stone, while to
those born in July the glowing ruby
brings happiness. Rather doleful is the
