THE MORMONs. BIG ORGAN.
Ten Years in Building, and Five Com
plete Instruments In One.

Ten Years In Building. and Five Com
plete Instruments In One.
1t was in 1853 that President Young
first spoke Of building a big organ, one
that would be In harmony with the
mammoth tabernacle. Great Difficult
ties were encouraged In the building
Of the instrument, particularly In se'
curing suitable wood for the gigantic
pipes with which it was equipped
Some Of these pipes took as much us
500 feet of lumber
The mountains far and near were
fairly secured for the proper kind of
pine, hundreds Of loads Of which were
hauled by teams from point nearly
500 miles south of Salt Lake. 1t re-
quired two months to make round
trip.
The workmen were all pioneer
settlers. The method Of uniting the
wood was unique, the closest joining
being done by means Of homemade
glue. the making of which consumed
hundreds Of cattle hides. while num-
the bellows.
Altogether ten years were consumed
In the building. Since the time that
1t was first given to the public there
have been numerous changes and ad-
ditions. until to-day 1t is recognized rs
one Of the very best organs In the
" orld, II not, indeed, the best and the
grandest
A year ago a great many Of the old
pipes were taken out and thoroughly
overhauled, and more than 1000 new
ones were added. The instruments

sive than a grand piano, AZ it has no

power of each key Is 726 times to the
minute. All Of the latest mechanics
devices have been incorporated in the
instrument and any combination OF
tone desired can be distinctly brought
out. Especially fine are the 'strlng"
tones, the violin. viola, gambia. cello
and bass; the clarinet, two oboes. has

In all, the organ contains 4OS stops

HAIR COMBlNG IN PUBLIC,
Foreigners Cannot Understand the
American Girl.

1T Is the most extraordinary thing
the way you women over here comb
your hair at the theaters." exclaimed
foreigner I've just been watching
that girl over there.
She has taken every comb out Of
her hair run 1t up the back of her
head several times and then replaced
it. Now she is patting her hair to see
that it is all as she wishes it to be-
1--WE seen lots of girls o, er here go
through the performance. Rather
shocking. when you come to think Of
it, Look at this one-she's going to
do the same thing"
1t was a very fuzzy blonde head
that was being combed this time. A
good many sweeps of the big side
combs were needed to bring together
the little frowsy curls that had sprung
their confines and were hanging down
from the pompadour.
The girls gestures in arranging her
hair We're not in the least furtive
They were as deliberate as though she
were standing before her bureau at
home.
Cant see exactly how it ever start
ed" murmured the American whose
attention had been called to her coun-
try woman's action. Il never do it my
self. but I'm afraid that | have seen
so many girls do it that | have be-
come hardened to the sight.
Il remember an American woman's
look of disgust when she saw a
Frenchman comb his mustache in pub
lie. That's pretty bad, too: but this is
in my eyes the more awful, for one
expects daintness and charm from
women, and this energetic comblng
and arrangement Of hair in public
places is extremely vulgar. New

HUNGRY TROUT BITE WORST

That 10 the Theory Of an Angler Who
O6ers Proof.
Every trout fisherman knows that
rise to any fly nor take any sort Of
bait, and nine out of ten fishermen be-
lieve that the reason for this Is that
the trout are gorged with the natural
food Of the waters they are in-"ain't
hungry" as the homely phrase Ia.
Hrere 10 the theory Of an old angler ON
the subject:
OF course, even during these off days
Of the trout, one will be caught now
and then, but always on bait, and II
the angler could see the fish when 1t
takes the bait he would notice that 1t
does 1t In very perfunctory manner.
The trout does not move out Of its
way in doing it. but mechanically
takes the bait In much after the fash
ion Of the sucker.
Then. If the trout fisherman who
makes a catch at such time will open
the trout and examine its stomach he
will be surprised to find that instead
Of the fish being gorged with food.
and hence Indifferent to more, its
stomach has not a trace Of food in it.
This will be found to be the case in
varitably, and disposes of the belief
that when trout refuse to bite 1t is
because they already are full of food.
1t would naturally be supposed that
the best time to catch trout would be
when they are hungry. and that the
time when they are hungrIest would
be when their stomachs are empty;
yet, paradoxical as it may seem to be,
such Is not the case.
1t will be found that when trout are
rising best to the fly, or are taking
bait with most avidity, there is plenty
of food In their stomachs, frequently
so much, in fact, that 1t would seem
impossible that any more could be
taken in.
Why this should be no one can tell.
1t Is q fact, nevertheless, which any
fisherman may easily verify by inves-
tigation.

CHAPTER IX.-(Continued.)

We had left the house by this time,
and were walking down the green lane,
but In an opposite direction to that ny
which we had come from the churchyard.
A little way down the lane debouched
into a high road, and there my kind
friend stopped to take leave OF me.
''If you find things turn out badly. and
you are reduced to any great strait.
write to me- but, mind in that case you
must tell me all about yourself. There
must be no disguise and no deceit
must say you're rather a close customer
for one SO yOung-all the better for that
perhaps. Here's my address; and now
goOd-by. and a safe journey and good
luck"
The next moment he was gone. How
full Of gratitude was my heart for his
kindness! l reached the railway sta
ton some minutes before the train was
due. Ignorant as | was Of the COM
monest transactions Of everyday life. l
was Obliged to the kind offices OF
friendly porter to procure me a ticket
and put me Oh the right platform. The
train came up and took my seat.
The excitement of steam travelling was
q strange one to me, and for a time
was lost In wonderment at the variety
Of objects we few past. and at the rap
Idly changing landscape. Suddenly l
remembered the address that the old gen
tleman had given me. l drew it cut,
curious to know his name. 1t was an old
envelope, directed to Jonathan Rod
we'll, Woodbine Cottage"
What bound my heart gave as l read
that name. Was it simply by strange
coincidence, or was he related to that
mnn who had so tragically influenced
my life? So astonished was l at this
discovery and so absorbed In specula-
lions, and a train Of thought which 1t
suggested. that became quite uncon-
scious Of the progress Of the train. OF my
fellow passengers. almost Of where
was My thoughts went back to the
marriage day. and every incident passed
In review through my mind. When l
came to the incident Of the locket. my
heart gave another leap: 1t was gone
left behind In the suit of clothes: OF
course, it was quite safe. But l was
troubled that it had passed out of my
possession. l priced 1t as the supersti-
tious would talisman.
Crowding quickly on the heels Of this
regret, came a startling revelation; that
portrait that had puzzled me at the old
gentleman's-it was her very image. ma
tured to womanhood! That was the re-
semblance that had so powerfully struck
the, and that could not understand at
the time.
Projected into this new field Of
Thought l was still wandering amidst its
mazes when l was warned that my
Journey had come to an end. And, step
ping out Of the carriage, l found myself
on the bewildering, crowded platform
Of great city terminus.
