CHURCH ORGANlSTs.
The Dincuity students Have In
Finding Places 10 Practice.

t~Abcts 10 R'rnchce.
Few musical students have a harder
time finding an opportunity for prac-
tice than the comparatively small num-
Der who are ambitious to become
church organists. A church organ is
a cumbersome piece OF mechanism. and
until recently il has been necessary for
the student practically to borrow n
church whenever he wanted to put in
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 dozen small
sized church organs that can be used
in this fashion. One large school, the
New England Conservatory OF Music,
has i'm 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 I'm America, slight as
may 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 ago there was
just one organ available for all the
students In that city-the number of
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 pedal piano. Even in
Yo1cin lOvin0 CnrnonU Tho furAfnof
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 to
make the training Of organists a 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
organist was usually trained by his
immediate predecessor and did most OF
his practicing in warm weather, for in
addition to the difficulty Of finding a
church organ TO practice on the I'M
heated week day condition OF the
churches reduced the possible hours OF
comfortable practice to a very small
number.

Mrs. Jessie Broadfoot, who died re-
Gently ut Thornhill. near Dumfries,
Scotland, at the age OF seventy, was
the hereditary maid" who is repeat
edly mentioned in Mrs. Carlyle's men,
oirs. Her mother had been in the
service OF Mrs. Carlyle's family. There
are many graceful illusions to her In
Mrs. Carlyle's most characteristic style
and frequent tributes to her sterling
worth and honesty. She was ut Cheyne
Row when Mrs. Carlyle died, and she
remained for some time afterward
She always Indignantly denied that
there was any infelicity in the home
life OF the Carlyles, and, so far from
Carlyle being "a man gey Ill tae leeve
W.T." she said he was the easiest man
In the world to serve. All he asked
was peace and quiet to do his literary
work

Criminal Education SOCIETY.


The academy of crime OF which Dick
ems inimitable Fagin was the head
professor has lost its prestige since de-
tails OF a similar Institution In Italy
nave come to light. This organization,
called the "Malayita," was situated at
Foggia and aimed at committing all
sorts OF crime from highway robbery
to kidnapping. There were two schools.
one to teach the use OF the knife and
the other for pickpockets. A few francs
were charged for admission, and the
pupils graduated according TO the pro.
hciency they attained. II any men,
Der was arrested the other members
volunteered to give perjured testimony
in his behalf, while few more took
charge of the witnesses for the prose
cution, whom they scared by threats
into refusing to testify.

There Is wonderful grotto at Mon
summano. Italy. called the Grotto Gil
usd, where the natural vapor Is stated
TO be an infallible cure for rheuma-
usm. Fifty years ago some workmen
were QuarryIng for lime when they dis
covered the grotto, and Its healing pow
ers were first made known some little
tine later. In the lowest portion, APP
propriately named the Inferno, the tenn
perature is about 90 degrees r. and
here the victims from rheumatism sit
and persplre for an hour at a time.
Such vapor bath is said to be OF much
greater service than Turkish bath.

ages 10 ma that the church OF the
Lord Jesus Christ is better spiritually
today than 1t was In the past? Why
not try to draw your illustrations a
little nearer at hand?" The result Is
the same. Conditions in the early part
or the last century We're In startling
contrast to those OF today. The minis
try In those times was largely made
| up or men who entered 1t not on high
spiritual grounds, but as q means of
making a genteel living. Their service
was perfuncto-y and lifeless. Their
moral character was often reprehensi-
BILE. The highest places were held by
men Of genius but of Christless lives.
The clergy of those times were men
like Dean Swift, OF whom 1t was said
that when he was in the pulpit he
was so much a saint that he ought not
to be allowed to go out OF 1t, and when
he was out OF the pulpit his life was
so evil that he ought not to be allowed
to enter IT." With spiritual leaders so
destitute OF tho power Of Christ, what
could be expected OF the peoplei
SO lax were the ideas OF the Christian
church hundred years ago thdt after
q presbyterY meeting Il was the usual
custom for the presbytery to adjourn
to nearby tavern. and all the minis
tiers would there openly drink their In
toxicating liquor the same as the ma
jority OF the sports Of race track
would now drink. The assistant pastor
OF my Chicago church told me when he
entered the ministry every minister OF
the presbytery which ordained him,
with the exception of one, publicly
drank intoxicating liquors. Yet he
Furthermore stated that within q few
years he lived to see all the ministers
OF his presbytery total abstainers and
out and out temperance advocates. with
but one exception. Among the records

TAXES ON BAD DEBTS.

So keen were the Dawson man
ayers after new objects of taxa
ton to meet their extravagances,
that they have permitted nothing
to escape the bogus reform net.
1t will especially interest the Sis
tersville and Tyler county mer-
chant to know that he is to be
taxed even on his credits, of
which with all his other property
he must make out a list under SOL
emn oath, the word "credits be-
ing thus defined in section 81 of
the act creating the Tax commits
sioner: "Credits' include all
claims and demands, whether ow-
ing upon bond, note, certificate,
book account or otherwise, and
whether due or not, whether pay
able in money, property, labor or
services.
The determination of the value
of such credits if payable other
wise than in money is not left to
the merchant, but is fixed by the
assessor in accordance with the
inuuisitorial method prescribed
for assessing real and personal
property.
Thus the merchant must open
his books, lay his private busl-
ness bare and have even what are
known as "bad debts listed for
taxation. Every merchant has a
large number Of such worthless
accounts, yet unless the parties
owing are actually insolvent, the
assessor must charge the same up
against the merchant to be taxed
at their TRUE and ACTUAL
yalue-the latter to be fixed by
the assessor himself, who will
have a Tax commissioner at his
back-a costly State officer ap-
pointed by the Governor-to prod
him up and see that he misses no
trick.
