An organ In the Tenth Century.

An OrHun IN the Ienth century
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 but
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, were
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
Octaves. The Introduction of pedals in
1490 by Bernhardt-giving a compass
B fat to A-was another important
contribution to the instrument. These
were merely small pieces of wood op-
erRted by the toe of the player.

cowsrdly and Stupid.

From the Chicago Chronicle
Some Of the employers and business
men of Evansville. Ind. are evidently
both cowardy and stupid. No milder des.
ignatlons apply to men who are discharg-
ing from their employ members of the
local militia company who served during
the recent riots.
The excuse given is that members OF
trades unions refuse TO work with the
militiamen and that IL is a question OF
discharging the citizen soldiers or incur
ring strike.
Any man with a proper sense of self
respect would choose the alternative and
face strike rather than sacrifice the
militiamen 90 the resentment of men
whose attitude affords indisputable evil
dence that they favor lawlessness and

The Menu Card In r,~ Tir.t Form.

The Menu Card In TtS FIRST Form
In its old fashioned form the menu
was usually written large on cards OF
such imposing dimensions that room
for one only could be found at each
end Of the board. In the medieval
dinner this aid 10 selection musk have
been an absolute necessity. for the
medieval dinner was a mine OF sur
prises. 1t was divided into courses. as
are our own dainty meals. but whereas
nowadays the diner has general idea
that fish will follow soup and that-en-
tree is succeeded by relieve. and can
conceive generally the sort Of demand

appetite and digestion. there was no

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 bark on, be
cause they harmonize with the growing
trees, says Country Life In America.
This Is the real secret of the 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 a 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 sunny spot
In the midst of an environment which
is civilization rather than nature.
