A description of the speaking stops
may be given as follows:
OPEN DIAPAsoN-This is the most
important foundation stop in the
organ. Its tone is full and grand,
adding brightness as well as breadth
to the full organ.
DOUBLE OPEN DIAPASoN-The
principal stop in the pedal organ. 1t
is full, powerful and grand.
MELoDA--A good tone of rich,
mellow quality.
STOPPED DIAPAsoN-Similar in
character to the Melodia, but more
flutey.
VIOLIN DIApAsoN-A strong tone
of pronounced string quality.
DULCIANA-A delicate, subdued,
and beautiful string tone.
HARMONIC FLUTE--A powerful and
incisive flute stop, effective as solo
stop, and adds brilliancy to the full

AEoLINE-The softest and most
delicate string toned stop in the organ
TRUMPET-This stop is clear and
penetrating in character, much like
the wind instrument of the orchestra
The mechanical registers are very
complete and enable the organist tt
have entire control of the stops.
1t is hoped that the new organ may
be the means of adding very materi
ally to our opportunities to hear gooe
music during the coming season.

DUCKS OR STOCKS?
An 1nvestment That Pays BetteR
Than Dabbling In Stocks
on Tips.

A circular sent out by a firm of tipsters
says: 1T is now over three years since we
first addressed you about our stock opera
tions. During that time had you invested
800 at the beginning and compounded your
profits, your 500 would now be nearly
A,715. Is there any business that viii pay
you better than $4,775 profits on 500 capi-
tai in three years. A copy OF the circular
fell into the hands OF man who made this
rejoinder:
The answer is, yes-ducks, tame, pud-
die, muscovy. Pekin, or any other breed.
A little girl had ID cents with which she
bought a sitting OF duck eggs. She bor-
rowed a brooding chicken hen from her
mother, and all the eggs were Matched out.
Her profits for the first six months were 81,
and she kept three hens and a drake for
the next six months operations. IL is fair
topresume that her profits will be at least ~
for each SIX months; one year SIC; three
years, SlS. Divide SIS by her Is cents and
the guotlent will he 320-that is, each OF
her ID cents will produce 800 cents; on 81
or 100 cents the profit will be $1,000 cents,
or 500; on 500 capital the profit would be
