In a small church in a little village
near Brighton, England, about forty
years ago, the congregation could not
AFFORD to pay an organist, and bought a
self-acting organ, a compact instru-
ment well suited to the purpose, and
constructed to play forty tunes. The
sexton had instructions how to set it
going, and how to stop it, but, unfor-
tunately, he forgot the latter part Of
the business, and after singing the first
four verses Of a hymn before the SER
mon, the organ could not be stopped,
and 1t continued playing two verses
more. Then just as the clergyman
completed the words lLet us pray" the
organ clicked and started a new tune.
The minister sat 1t out patiently, and
then renewed his Introductory words,
Let us pray" when click went the or
gan again, and started of on another
tune. The sexton and others contin-
ued their exertions to find out the
spring, but no man could put a stop
to II, so they got four OF the strongest
men in the church to shoulder the per-
verse instrument, and they carried 1t
down the center aisle Of the church,
playing away, into the c%hurchyard,
where It continued clicking and play
ing away until the whole forty tunes
we're exhaused.

country. The boys are respectful and
polite to all who are older than them
selves, and while they have their plays
and their fun, they do not think it fun
to hurt any one. The boys here in
America do not know what long school
hour are. l went to school early in
the morning before the birds began to
sing, After that We went to breakfast
and then to dinner and in the evening
10 supper. Those were ong, long
days, the boys here would say, but We
Chinese boys did not say anything
about it. We just sat on CIR stools
and sung out our lessons all at the
same time as loud as we could. Va
cation came along in the harvest time
e the rice was gathered. Then we
played at flying kites. We did not. as
boys do here, fly kites n time. No.
there was a season for it, and we few
them at no other times. The BOYS in
China walk on stills just as boys do
here, and play at b%lindfold, hide and
seek and leap frog, but all in a differ
ent way from here. We had great
sport fighting beetles. We would find
these on the fields and train them TO
hight, and we would lay wagers on
which would win just as you do here
on prizehghters. No n~eighborhood in
China can afford to have a bad bow in

There would be great trouble. Not
only would the one who shot the re-
volver be punished, but his relatives
and neighbors and the magistrate of
the district would be punished or rep-
rimanded because in China such things
not Happen. A stranger could
walk through my village day or night
with no one to hurt him. He would
be safe all the time. 1t is not so in
this county. We had great sport in
shooting at sparrows with bow and
arrow, and nobody ever shot at per-
sons, as some boys do here with air
guns. The boys in China laugh a great
deal, and laugh very loud sometimes
but they have plenty of sport without
hurting any one"

That Settled It.

A story is told of a very popular cav
airy officer. He was being tried for
drunkenness, and among other wit
nesses was his Irish orderly. The court,
anxious to give the officer every
chance, put several questions to this
witness with a view to eliciting any
facts that might be in his masters
favor, When the orderly said that his
master, on going to bed, had expressed
a wish to be called early, the members
of the court-martial were distinctly
pleased. A man who gave special in
structions to be called early could not,
surely-they argued to themselves
have been drunk. Hoping to get favor
able particulars, the judge advocate put
a further question. And why did the
major wish to be called early?" they
asked. Faith! an he tOuld me it
was because he was to be queen Of the
May" came the answer That settled
it.-Collier's Weekly.

eIass-MakIng by ELECTRICITY.

Az American glassmaker has patent
ed an apparatus for the production of
glass by electric furnace, and is said
to have adopted in its construction a
hint which he derived from an acct
dental breakage. Passing through his
works one day, he saw the globe of an
electric light crack, and a piece of the
broken glass dropped upon the white
hot carbon points and was almost in
simultaneously melted. Thereupon he
had a box or vat made, upon the in
terror of which we're brought together
pairs of carbon rods, powerful currents
being sent through them to secure
great heat. Immediately below them
was a channel for the passage of sand
and other constituents Of glass, and it
is found that these are reduced to the
%vitreous state in as many minutes as
1t requires hours to melt glass under
the old system.

To Split Pap.r.

There are two ways Of splitting a
piece Of paper. One is to lay the sheet
Of paper on a piece of glass, soak it
thoroughly with water, and then press
it smoothly all over the glass. With
a little care the upper half Of the sheet
can be peeled off, leaving the under
half on the glass. Let this dry, and
It will come off the glass easily: of
course the glass must be perfectly
clean. The second way is a better one.
but it requires some good practice.
Paste a piece of cloth or strong paper
on each side of the sheet to be split.
When 1t has thoroughly dried, pull the
two pieces Of cloth apart suddenly and
violently. The paste can then be soft
ened with water, and the two halves
Of the sheet easily taken of the cloths.

to be hauled up and down as when op-

simple process Of throwing over a lever

they ever had. And fancy his perplex-

age, he is told that so May years have
elapsed since she twas pr.tty'-her
