Confusion followed. The women ac-

Shanghai of deceit. They drew a
crowd.
'If you will walk up the road with

told the agent she had been tricked and
deceived by William. otherwise Bunty,

Bunty called on the Widow Dunnigen

Wolston speaks Of an organ contain
ing 400 pipes which was erected in the
tenth century in England. This instru-
ment was blown by thirteen separate
pairs of bellows" 1t also contained u
large keyboard. There are drawings of
that period eXtant which represent the
organ as an instrument having hut
few pipes, blown by two or three per.
sons and usually performed on by a
monk. The keys, which were played
upon by hard blows of the fist, We're
very clumsy and from four to six inch
es broad.
About the end of the eleventh centu-
ry semitones were introduced into the
Keyboard, but TO all appearances its
compass did not extend beyond three
octavcs. The introduction of pedals in
1880 by Bernhardt-giving n compass
b fat to A-was another important
contribution to the instrument. These
were merely small pieces of wood op-
Grated by the toe of the player.

ODDortunities.

However man is gifted, whether
for active enterprise of thought OF
charity, there lies around him world
of opportunity. So far behind are we
socially, morally, intellectually, that
one might be forgiven if he supposed
the world were made but yesterday
and nothing had yet been done. Does
no ambition fire us to help the de-
spairing, starving, sinking people
around us? If few more years be
added to our life, would we not strive
to put something right, to sweep out
some little corner, to awaken some
soul to see and rejoice in the growing
light?-Good Words.

Rustic Work.

Sooner or later every owner Of a
country home runs up against the idea
of rustic work. Generally it hits him
hard-sometimes too hard. If you real
ly need seats or summer houses in your
woodland nothing can be more appro-
pirate than logs with the Lark on. be-
cause they harmonize with the growing
trees, says Country Life In America.
This is the real secret of tile popularity
of rustic work, its fitness. 1t is Op-
posed to costlier and more architectural
features which make n strong contrast
with natural surroundings. Occasion
ally, however, you will find n man who
has fallen head over heels in love with
rustic work for its own sake. The con-
seqence is that he fills the lawn in front
of his house with all sorts of rustic i'm
possibilities which look doubly foolish
because they have no earthly use and
because they are out in a sunny spot
in the midst of an environment which
is civilization rather than nature.

At table DIR. Holmes was unhagging-

that took place between Emerson and
Holmes at one of the early Atlantic
dinners. The conversation was upon
the orders of architecture. 1t was En-

Bird Superst.tI,,ns,

In many parts of England there are
curious superstitions about BIRDS. The
stonechat, for instance, is he.!eved to
be continually chatting with the evil
one, so it is held in bad repute, and as
the raven commonly impersonates his
sable majesty it is ranked in the same
category of evil birds Sometimes. how
ever, the ravens appearance, so it is
held, forebOdes death.

Too Much DeveIOpment.

Excessive muscular development is
pronounced by an experienced physl-
clan to be not only unnecessary, but
positively dangerous. On ceasing ath-
letic training, which every person must
do sooner or later, the system adapts
itself very slowly to new conditions,
and digestive and liver troubles are
very liable to follow. The great lungs,
rot needed in sedentary work, degener-
rte, often leading to consumption.
