The Antiquity of the Organ.

The organ is the most magnificent
and comprehensive of all musical in
struments. While the pipes of Pan,
aside from that mythical parsonage
indicate very ancient use of pipes as
a means of producing musical sounds,
the water organ of the ancents" fur
nishes to the student Of organ history
the first tangible clew regarding the re-
mote evolution of the instrument. In
the second century the magripha, an
organ of ten pipes with crude key
board, is said to have existed, but ac-
counts of this instrument are involved
in much obscurity. 1t is averred that
an organ, the gift of Constantine, was
in the possession of King Pepin of
France in 15T, but Aldhelm, a monk,
makes mention of an organ with gilt
pipes" as far back as the year 700.

Minister Is Missing.

About three weeks ago report gained
circulation that Rev. Bennett, of Lans-
ford, was enamored of prominent
young woman of his congregation
When the story came to his ears he be-
came greatly depressed. AS time wore
on the tongues of the gossipers began
to wag freely, and finally there was talk
of deposng him. This so preyed upon
his mind that he became morose and
began to act strangely.
On Monday night of last week broth
er clergyman, noticing his depress-
ed condition, endeayored to comfort him.
For while Rev. Bennett listened to
his words, then he exclaimed wildly:
''Do you know what they are doing?
They are driving me mad"
Tuesday morning he left home, osten-
sbly to go to the Methodist Episcopal
conference, in session at Colnmb bia.
The following day Mrs. Bennett received
a letter from her husband, who was
then in Harrisburg. From it the wo-
man managed TO gather that her nus
band intended to take his life. Acting
upon the advice of her friends, Mrs.
Bennett left for Harrisburg on Wednes-
day evening, accompanied by Postmaster
Tanner and Rev. E. Evans.
Upon reaching that city the two men
made search for the clergyman and
found that he had registered at the Ho-
tel Bolton. The clerk stated that the
man had acted very strangely; that he
had left the hotel in the afternoon, and
that nothing had since been seen of him.
They reported the matter to the police
and the missing man was traced to a
bridge spanning the Susquehanna river.
Here at the rivers side the trail ended.
All efforts to find any trace of him since
have failed.

HARD TO GET STARTED.
Things which Overcome Writer
When Beginning an Article.

There is a feeling of timldity that
oftentimes overcomes writer when
beginning an article. AS in writing Il
letter, it is getting started that puzzles.
1t is the custom to begin with slow
moving piston and work gradually into
full speed until the flow of words is
free, and then the difficulty with some
of us is to find the brake valve. Again,
writer sometimes discovers that his
beginning is more fitting ending, and
vice versa. The newspaper style is to
throw general conclusions up strong
under the headlines, while the sermon
izer reserves them until his final eli
max.
Thackeray remarked once that he
could never tell exactly what he was
going to sav until his pen was in hand
and under motion and then did not fully
realize just what he was saying until it
was written. There is subconscious-
ness that shapes, writing as it does
speaking. This, | know, distul lbs some
we'll known theories of speaking and
writing-as to weighing everything and
then measuring it out as a druggist
compounds a prescription-bu my OBJ
servations are that the preparation is
more in getting full of Il subject and
then letting the mind work free under
the impulse of the dominating idea,
There are as many ways and meth
DDS in writing and speaking as there
are individuals, and yet the fundamen-
tai law in the transmission Of thought
and speech runs largely in the same
Groove, whether it be the iargon of the
Hottentot or the polished periods Of
the scholar Human nature has its
own primitive impulses that defy all
rules of rhetoric and the power of eX-
pression-that is, the power, mind yon
is deeper seated than any artificial
formula of stylists. - National Maga-
zine.

1t is known that the hoofs of horses
We're protected by boots of leather at a
very early period in the worlds history
at time which at least antedates
Pliny and Aristotle, both of whom
make mention of the fact. These leath-
or boots We're sometimes studded with
metal nails, but more usually worn
without extra trimming, the cheapness
of that commodity making it possible

The Turquoise.

The turquoise, although not credited
with either remedial or protective prop
critics, so far as disease was concerned,
was nevertheless regarded as kind
of sympathetic indicator, the intensity
of its color being supposed to fiuctuate
with the health of the wearer.
The latter, however, by virtue of the
stone he carried, could, 1t was said,
fall from any height with impunity.
The Marquis of Vilena's fool, however,
was somewhat nearer the truth when
he reversed the popular superstition in
his assertion that the wearer of a tur-
quoise might fall from the top of a
high tower and be dashed to pieces
without breaking the stone.

To appreciate the value of The Con-
gressional Record one must see it used.
1t is the only means by which members
themselves keep informed of the prog
ress of legislation when scores of
measures are often considered in a
day. 1t is on the desk of the president
of the United States and is read by
every executive officer, from cabinet to
chief of division. Every government
in the world envies ours the possession
of such publication, forming at once
an Indispensable current record and Il
permanent history of events even more
valuable through the centuries.-Argo-

This city is turning out more and bet

globe. Twelve bureaus of the United
States government are engaged in the
work of printing and issuing maps of
the finest quality and requiring the
highest class of workmanship, and this

the best photographers and map ell
gravers in Europe. The maps turned
out by the government are of every

WASHINGTON LETTER

excited to a high pitch the other day
over the appearance of about the most
spectacular individual that the institu-
tion had seeu in years. He was Il Pa
pago Indian, and a wealthy one at
that, from Phenix, Ariz. and it was
evident that he imagined he was put
ting on an immense amount of style.
At all events, he succeeded in attract
ing attention wherever he went.
To begin with, he wore plug hat
over mat of long hair neatly plated
down his back and wrapped with
strips of bright green and flaming red
flannel. He wore n standing collar and
a boiled shirt with a red tie. Over
this he wore q beaded buckskin vest,
the beaded designs taking the form of
American and Mexican flags, flowers
and other objects. Over the vest he
wore plum colored sack coat and
fawn colored box overcoat. The trou
sers that he wore We're of the most yo-
cferous type of English checks, and
the concluding feature of this remark
able costume was pair of patent
leather shoes.
He wore earrings, sported a fantastic
watch chain that looked more like a
hawser of an ocean greyhound and
smoked cigar of the quality warrant
ed to kill at forty rods In addition to
all this he carried a beaded cane.
Mason on Executive Sessions.
Senator Mason has written an article
about "The Farce of Executive Ses-
sions." After telling of his awe of ex-
ecutive sessions when he was a repre-
sentative he describes his first closed
session after he became senator:
"a senator from New England arose
and solemnly and earnestly moved that
we go into executive session. The bells
all over the senate end of the capitol
rang and made music to my ears. The
chief page clapped his hands three
times, and the pages all rushed from
our sacred presence. Amid the ringing
of bells and rushing of feet the people
were all moved out, the doors were
closed, and we were alone.
"Thereupon the senator who had
moved the executive session struck a
match in the usual way and lit "A cigar,
audibly informing his neighbor that it
was the only one he had. He then
moved that John Smith be confirmed
in his seven hundred dollar postoffice
in Podunk. The vice president of the
United States said, Without objection
1t is so ordered A motion to adjourn
was carried. In one moment my dream
was broken"
