body. foot and toe; every pipe mas q
mouth. a tongue, teeth, lips, ears, a
beard and voice.
In this strangest Of all factories,
where wood and metal are taught to
sing automatic praises, the materials
are many. Of the woods, common
white pine is the most important, and
highly esteemed from the fact that In
every climate, cold or hot, moist or
dry, it remains almost unchanged,
while many other woods shrink and
warp until their original shape is al
most entirely lost. 1t is the only ma
terial used to make wood pipes. Pop
lar. maple, oak, butternut, walnut, are
used in various portions, while for or
namental cases the seml-prec1ous
woods are used in decoration. For the
Medals butternut is used for the lower
norton, maple for the footrest Of the
white KEYS and black walnut for the
sharps and flats or upper keys.
The pipe is the object of the magi-
clans attention, and on it the greater
portion of his care is bestowed. The
pine is one. but the possibilities of it's
tone are many, for from one pipe many
different varieties and qualities of the
tone may be produced. All depends
upon the "voicer," or man who at
tends to the voicing or toning of the
pipes. On the skill of the voicer de-
ponds also very largely the reputation
of the organ-builder. Voicers, like
poets, are born, not made; for voicing
is a fine art. which consists in making
such an adjustment of the teeth, lips,

beard and ears around the mouth as to
produce a particular quality Of tone
The teeth are a set of little ridges
placed just within the mouth of the
pipe, the lips are the two sides of the
opening cut to emit the wind and the
ears are two projecting pieces of zinc
or pipe metal on each side; the beard
is square projection of metal just be-
low. Every variety of pipe is not pro-
vided with all these appendages, for
some have teeth but no ears; some
have ears but no beard, and so on. 1t
all depends upon the quality of tone to
be impaired to the pipe.
The voicer's talent, however import
ant, is but one among the many called
into play before the organ is finally
looked upon by it's maker and pro-
nounced good, for the organ is stand

MAKING BIG ORGANS.
ST. LOUIS ONE or THE CENTERS
OF THIS INDUSTRY.
Haunts of Maxicians Whose
Product Comes as Near to Having
Nerves and Soul as 1t IL Possible to
Bring Inanimate Matter.

That st. Louis, Mo-, Is an organ
building center is a statement which
will surprise not few of it's citizens,
but that it contributes larger num-
Der of church organs to the religious
denominations of the United States
than any other city west of New York,
will probably be regarded as lntelli-
gence even in well-informed musical
circles. This, however, is the case, for
St. Louis has three organ-building fac
tories which have been in operation for
many years, one of which has placed
in position about 1000 organs in the
churches of the country, while the
combined output Of the others may
bring up the number which st. Louis
has built to 5000.
The organ factory is the workshop of
magician. Great barn-1ike rooms,
with lofts overhead, on which are
mounted old, unused organs, dusty and
spider-webbed skeletons or organs
from which pipes have been removed;
dislocated parts of organ frames bear
ing traces of their former employment.
On the floor stand more organ frames,
new and incomplete, in process of
building In the corners, against the
walls, lying about on the floor, in piles,
in long boxes, in baskets, are organ
pipes. Queer, necromantic-looking In
struments lie about, used in construc-
ton and repair. For the organ builder
is magician, and the thing he builds
is living creature. The work of his
hands has a heart and lungs, arteries
and veins, nerves and sinews, skele-
ton and frame, a soul and myriad
voices. The great windchest Is it's
heart, the conductors are It's arteries,
the bellows its lungs, the beams and

The Latest Hunting Yarn.

An American sportsman out duck
shooting in, Maine relates how he stop
ped to rest in an old hen field in which
there was an orchard. A flock Of sheep
was feeding near by. It was not long
before his attention was called to the
chirruping Of some squirrels In a
thicket, and he was surprised to see
the sheep stop feeding and manifest
great excitement. The squirrels went
into the orchard, and, climbing into
one Of the trees, resumed their loud
clatter, evidently calling The sheep,
since the flock made at once for the
apple tree. Then the squirrels began
to bite off the apples, which fell
among the hungry sheep, who would
struggle for the fruit like SO many
school boys. The squirrels seemed to
enjoy the fun, and after they had
dropped few apples from the first
tree they skipped to distant tree, for
which the sheep would make in great
confusion. After the squirrels had
thus enjoyed an hours fun with their
feecy neighbors and supplied them
with a sufficient quantity of the fruit
they scampered back to their haunts
in the thicket, leaving the sheep to re-
sumo their grazing-Household Words.

DR.. Herman, of the University Of
Kiel, has been feeling the wrists Of the
members Of bicycle club, immediate
ly after they had pushed their wheels
up a moderate ascent. In every case
the pulse was beating at the rate Of
one hundred and fifty to one hundred
and sixty strokes a minute, and in one
man of stouter build it mounted to one
hundred and eighty. AS seventy-eight
is the normal average, it appears that
this kind of eXertion may quite double
the activity of the heart. The doctor
had previously observed this effect on
himself, after wheeling up the same
hill; and he gives warning that the
same result may follow ride too long
continued or over a lumpy road. He
also advises the cycler not to smoke
when riding, and to keep his mouth
shut, so as to breathe only through the

The popular notion that a person can
not have too much Education" was
vigorously assaulted by Coils P. Hunt
ington at the annual banquet to officials
of the Southern and Pacific Railway
Companies held at San Francisco. Mr..
Huntington, In fact, declared that the
cause Of much of the distress in the
country at this time is ''over- education
Of the masses" In the course of his
address he Is reported AS saying:
"While preparation for professional
life requires advanced knowledge, 1t
seems to me that the vast majority Of
our young people spend too many Of
their vigorous years Of youth inside
schoolrooms and not enough in the
practical work Of life" It is useless to
dismiss this declaration with the OBJ
an authority on educational matters;
that he is more familiar with finance
and railroading than he is with the
theory and practice of pedagogics.
There is just enough truth in what Mr..
Huntington says about the distress Of
'over-educati on'' to entitle it to serious
consideration Mr. Huntington's name
belongs In the long list Of Americans
who have achieved signal success in va,
rious departments of endeavor-com-
mercial, political, Industrial whose
educational opportunities in early life
were very limited compared to those
that are offered to the youth of to-day
To- ~,
phies of men who have achieved sue
cess in this country that a great many
of them enjoyed the distinction Of being
at the foot Of their classes in school or
college. The question raised by Mr..
Huntington's observation is: Are we
gradually substituting big and ponder
Gus looking curricula for the genuine
education that developed the best
men of our times? Is the modern high
school graduate, who has been loaded
with Latin, trigonometry, botany,
chemistry and psychology, better "edu-
Gated" than the country boy who has
learned reading, writing and arithme~
tic" but in addition to this knows all
about the birds, the beasts and the
crops, who has cultivated the mechan-
ical and constructive instinct by daily
use of the implements Of the farm and
who has developed strong body as a
vehicle for a receptive mind? The
question suggested by Mr.. Huntington
turns, therefore, largely upon the mean
ing of the word "education." If it is
mere book learning acquired within
the walls of the schoolroom without
much contact with nature, with men or
with business, it will hardly be denied
that too much Of it is handicap rather
than help in the battle of life. The
popular notion that book education" is
the sine qua non of success is already
crowding the professions and purely
polite pursuits Of life far beyond legiti-
mate demands. 1t will take long time
to rid the public mind of the notion
that the boy that can carry home from
school the largest armful of books is
getting the best equipment for the bust
ness of life.

Plant that Eats Meat.

The Sundew is one of the most curl
Gus plants in natures great collection
of queer things. If an unlucky fly
lights on one of it's leaves that leaf
closes right up, wrapping tightly
around Mr.. Fly and staying closed for
days until he is all eaten up. A bit Of
meat or some of the white Of an egg
dropped on the leaves will make them
do the same thing. But the queerest
thing of all is that these leaves will
pay no attention to a pebble or chip
Of wood that may be dropped on them
and will not close up at all. If a mo-
ment later a little worm should drop
on one of these same leaves it would
curl shut at once. Now, how does this
plant know what is good to eat and
what is not?

1t would be interesting to know by
what process the New England judge
reached the conclusion that the rail-
way corporation which killed Antonio
Petrillo must pay his heirs $40. Assum-
ing that he made on the average $500
a year, he represented a capital Of
$4,000 invested at 3 per cent. Looking
at him not as living being but as a
corpse, medical college would have
paid for him, had the railroad com
pany not mangled his body, at least
500 in cash, without the annoyance and
expense of a lawsuit.

got to be a new cemetery, and now we

brilliancy and gorgeousness. We read,

there was display of gorgeous ma

cerely desire to do everything possible
to promote love and unity in our new
possessions, but we cannot contem-
plate a possibility of native toilets
without feeling of restiveness. Some
Of the big newspapers have favored us
with a number of views of the new

we have no hesitation In SAYING that

requirements of the bathtub than to

know that the weather there Is warm

must contend that the thought Of a
Filipino executing the two-step in one
of these native costumes in crowded

pretty one. Indeed. we fear that the

by the moral element of this country.

the distracted parents. Does anyone
suppose for a minute that the crime
would have been attempted If the law
provided an adequate penalty for 1t?
Is it not evident that the leniency with
which the offense is treated, together
with the possibility Of large financial
gain, is an actual incentive to con-
scienceless people to undertake it as
business enterprise? Is there any 9TH
er crime which promises so large re-
ward, If successful, and for the perpe-
tration of which there is so little to be
feared if the offender is caught? The
answers to these questions show the
crying need for change in the laws
relative to kidnapping. The punishment
should be commensurate with the Of
Tense. AS well might one say that
three months in the county Jail is
proper penalty for manslaughter as to
contend that years Imprisonment Is
adequate punishment for the abductor
Of a child. Nor can the matter be dis
missed with the assertion that the
crime Is of comparatively infreQuent
occurrence. On the contrary, the rec
ords show there are many such cases,
and there must be large number of
which the public never hears. These
crimes, among the cruelest and most
dastardly possible, never will cease or
even be materially lessened in number
until it is possible to make an example
of the perpetrators, and that opportu-
nifty must be lacking so long as the law
prescirbes only fine and one year Of
Imprisonment for them.
