CHURCH ORGANISMS.
The Difficulty students Have In
Finding Places to Practice.

f-tHCob 40
Few musical students have harder
time finding an opportunity for prac'
tice than the comparatively small num-
her who are ambitious to become
church organists. A church organ is
a cumbersome piece Of mechanism. and
until recently 1t has been necessary Tor
the student practically to borrow
church whenever he wanted to put IN
a half hours practic on his beloved
but inconvenient instrument. Even In
a musical city like Boston, where there
are 800 churches and uncounted music
al students Of one kind and another,
there are in all hardly a dozen small
sized church organs that can be used
in this fashion. One large school. the
New England Conservatory Of Music
has in fact as many organs for student
practice as all the churches put to-
gether. and it is on these organs that
many of the future American organ
lists are now getting their preliminary
training.
The organist in America, slight as
NAV seem his opportunities in COM
parison with those Of any other must
clan. is nevertheless much better SIT
uated than his European brother. In
Paris not many years age there was
lust one organ available for all the
students In that city-the number or
student organists in all Paris being
thus limited to seven-and at the Paris
Conservatory Of Music there are now
ONLY two organs, and most Of the prac-
tice is done on a pedal piano. Even In
music loving Germany the typical
equipment of music school includes
only one or two organs. And with this
meager opportunity for practice the
student is expected to learn every form
of organ playing, including the adapta-
ton of Accomplishments, excerpts from
oratories, hymn playing and the whole
complicated musical accompaniment OF
an Episcopal church service.
Students Of organ music are necessa-
rily comparatively few in number, be-
cause the demand is practically limited
to the number of churches, and In these
churches vacancies are only occasion
al. But there is sufficient demand 10
make the training of organists neces'
sary part of any modern conservatory
of music. where the practicing, fortu-
nately for the ears Of the neighbors, is
done in sound proof rooms. In the
earlier days before these schools OF
music came into existence the young
orpanist was usually trained by his
immediate predecessor and did most OF
his practicing in warm weather, for IN
addition to the difficulty Of finding q
church organ to practice on the un'
heated week day condition of the
churches reduced the possible hours OF
comfortable practice to very small
/ number

why Russian Soldiers sing.

It has been pointed out to me by an
enlightened critic that l must be mis-
taken In describing the lot Of the Rus
sian soldier as an unhappy one. "Rus-
sian regiments always sing on the
march," he explains, and therefore. OF
course, the men must be happy. He Is
perfectly right about the singing. Rus
sian soldiers are always singing; they
sing on the march, they sing In the
train, they sing while they are eating
their black bread and kapusta (sour
cabbage), they sing in the kharchevna
(public house,. l have also seen gang
of over 400 prisoners in chains on their
way to Siberia, and they, too, sang as
they marched to the station and after
ward in the train. l suppose, therefore,
that they must have been quite happy
and contented!
An American humorist has told US
that q certain amount Of 6eas Is gooo
for a dog. He passes the day IN
scratching himself and so forgets &c
brood over the misery Of being a dog
Ask the Russian soldier why he is al
WAYS singing, and he will give you
much the same reason. he passes the
day in singing and so forgsts to brood
over the misery Of being soldier

A PfacafNrfaI Pet.

A remarkable story is told Of a lady
living near Ingestre Hall, Stans. VINO
has made a pet Of trout. A CORE
spondent writes that while walking
round a pool in that neighborhood he
observed lady throw piece of bread
on the water. Almost Immediately the
surface Of the pool was ruf1ed, there
was a glimpse of bright color and the
bread had disappeared. Other crumbs
followed, thrown nearer and nearer to
the bank, and gradually there swan
into view fine trout.
Without the slightest trace OF shy
ness the trout came to the edge or the
bank, to the very feet Of the lady, and
waited for more bread to be thrown.
In reply to a question put by the VS.
itor the lady stated that the trout mao
been her pet for long time and had
become 80 tame that 1t would even
take a worm or a piece Of meat from
her fingers.
The pool is stocked with hundreds
Of trout, but this, curiously enough, Is
the only one among them all to act
In this way. 1t lives by itself in a
part OF the pool which no anglers are
allowed to invade and comes regularly
at the appointed time for Its meals OF

Guarding the Mouth.

Remember the disgust which over
spreads the faces in railroad car
when a woman was seen to give her
poodle a drink from the public drink
ing glass. No one else touched 1t dur
ing that trip, but 1t is more dangerous
and not less disgusting to drink after
human beings than a dog. Fortunate
" most disease germs die easily, and II
is chiefly by the quite direct means OF
contact just suggested that the con-
tagious diseases pass from one to an
other. If we put nothing into the
mouth except what belongs there, we
might ride in a car with diphthera
patient and run no chance Of catching
the disease. Disease germs do not fly
about seeking whom they may devour

MODEL LODGINGS.

What the HoWtop mouse Scneme IN
London Gives It's Patrons.
Every man who comes to Rowton
house is impressed with the fact that
he can there obtain better value and
more comfort than he can get any
where else. He finds that the cond-
tons under which he lives are I'M
proved and that he has congenial SUR
roundings and associates. All the re-
sources of civilization he can have
bright, warm, comfortable rooms, lava
tories with basins supplied with hot
and cold water, footballs without ex-
ira payment and a full length bath
with soap and towels for the nominal
charge Of one penny. man can do
his own laundry work If he so wishes.
He can use any Of the reading, smok-
ing or writing rooms, and, above all,
he has absolute freedom as regards his
mode Of living.
Although the Rowton House scheme
provides a complete restaurant where
food Of all kinds can be procured at ex-
ceptionally low prices, probably cheap
er than at any other place in London,
at the same time no resident is obliged
to purchase any Of the commodities
supplied by the company. Residents
can, If they choose, buy everything
they want outside the building, while
inside the Rowton houses they will
find provided for them, without charge,
every cooking utensil necessary, with
cutlery, crockery. etc., without limit
A constant supply Of boiling water Is
at hand, and good fires and cooking
ranges are kept going at all times. A
specially arranged scullery, fitted with
white glazed sinks, with supplies OF
hot and cold water, is provided, so that
any man DESTROYS Of preparing his own
food can do so without any supervision
or any interference from his fellows

A Dutch Fishing Village.

At Marker, a fishing village Of Hol-
land, few men are to be seen, as they
are nearly always out at sea in their
boats. Those whom one does see are
like Dutchmen in a play, in queer
headgear, in the most voluminous
knickerbockers that ever delighted the
heart Of a caricaturist and having on
gathering wooden shoes, which are, as
a coasting skipper once said, the sur
est preventive Of colds and Of cold
feet" (Which he spoke Of as If they
were a disease) to be found in the
world. Clumsy enough these Dutch
fisher folk look. but they are handy
in boat. But there is agriculture, too,
Of simple kind at Marker. Not man
usually is to be seen working in the
hay harvest or at other employment in
the fields. The women do the farm
work.

WEIRD IRISH STORY.
Man Disinteps the Body Of the Lazy
Whom He Loved.

Quite recently at Waterford, Ireland
a pretty and fascinating young lady,
who was very popular In the town,
fell III and died. Her death occasioned
general regret. She had many friends,
and a large number followed her re-
mains to the cemetery. The last rites
were said and all returned to their
homes, saddened at the loss OF one
who had been so dear to them.
An extraordinary sequel occurred. A
peasant farmer living in the vicinity
Of the cemetery, rose early next morn
ing to 20 to his work. Happening to
look over the wall of the cemetery, he
was astonished to see man on his
knees beside the newly filed In grave.
The peasant watched and saw him
feverishly scraping away the earth
with his hands, not looking aside for
one moment.
The onlooker remained with his eyes
fixed on the strange sight To his
amazement the mysterious visitor con-
tinued his grewsome task with I'M
abated vigor until presently the coffin
was laid bare. Then, with the aid Of
an iron implement, the man forcibly
wrenched of the lid.
The climax In the weird drama had
been reached. Bending down over the
open shell the stranger. who had so
wantonly disregarded the sacredness
Of the spot, gazed long and earnestly
upon the face Of the dead girl. Then.
imprinting one passionate kiss upon
her forehead, he raised himself and re-
adjusted the lid, afterward proceeding
to I'll In the earth over the CONN again.
Meanwhile, however, the authorities
had been informed of the occurrence,
and the police arrived and arrested the
extraordinary intruder. He was taken
to the police station and formally
charged.
In his possession was found tsle-
gram, handed in at Waterford, and
delivered to him at Bristol, telling him
Of the death Of the young lady. II
appeared that on receipt Of the news
he took his passage Immediately for
Waterford and, on arriving, repaired to
the graveside.
When arrested he said, They
thought they could prevent me seeing
her, but they were mistaken" He
was taken before the magistrate, who
committed him to an asylum.-Londor

Clean Hands.

On the subject of unclean hands a
physician says that cases Of infection
that could be accounted for in no other
way have been explained by the I'm
gers as a vehicle. In handling money.
especially paper, door knobs, banisters,
car straps and a hundred things that
every one must frequently touch, there
are chances innumerable Of picking up
germs Of typhoid, scarlatina, diph-
iberia, smallpox. etc. Wherefore to
avoid any dangerous results the pre-
ventive is simply to wash the hands
Immediately and scrupulously before
eating or touching that which Is to be
eaten.
