Shops In New York Where Crank In.
strumsnts Are Refitted.
This Is the season of the year when
many an Italian organ grinder takes
his instrument 10 the place where he
can "getta the new tunes In" There
are several Of these workshops In New
York, says the New York Tribune,
whose sole business Is repairing and
renting the "carrousel organs" as
they usually call them. Two or three
are in Park row. In this city particu-
larry do the grinders seem anxious for
the latest popular airs.
Many a grinder comes with his or
gan on his back for the new tunes.
For the small organ he pays IS a tune
and the operation takes half a day II
the blishment isn't particularly
rushed. Usually he wants a tune that
IL far more up to date than common
repute would guess. Last week such
grinder came to one Of the Park row
establishments to have please Come
and Play in My Yard" and "A Bit of
Blarney" put on his cylinder In place
of "I'll Be Your Chauncey Olcott" and
"Hiawatha." This particular man was
cripple whose headquarters were at
Bridgeport Conn. He came to the
city, playing his own way, through
Mount Vernon.
The piece is transcribed by ear from
piano music, the chief workmen In the
shop being musicians by training.
They place the cylinder on a frame.
which has an attachment for showing
the equal divisions OF the cylinder
circumference, and with diminutiye
chisels, each In the position of a par
ticular note OF the scale, they punch
the space that each staple Is to occu.
py. The mechanical process of insert
ing the brass staple Is performed In
another part OF the little shop.
The uAual charge for putting eight
new air. in a small or band" organ.
is $50. Such an organ originally cost
perhaps $50. Something very lively.

BUYING OF FURNITURE.
Inc Importance of Not Getting Murs
Than lie Actually Needed.

Inc Importance of Not Getting Mut
Than lie Actually Needed.
The buying of furniture is one Of The
most difficult things in the equIpneni
OF a nome, and 1t Is a singular fact
mat many stores which ara loaded
with furniture to the roof offer IIttls
serious aid In this most Important
task, says American Homes and Gar
dens. The furniture man has, Of
course, TO suit many tastes and meet
many requirements; his wares are apt
to be most various and diverse. They
consist, without exception, Of goods
or two great classes, good furniture
and bad furniture. These be displays
with so much art that the good 10 thor
oughly mixed with the bad. In bic
heart Of heart he doubtless knows that
the bad furniture is not worthy to
sell; but he probably regards bad
chair sold as a piece Of good business
and he calmly leaves the selection 10
his customer. II the buyer cannot dlt
dnguish between good furniture and
bad 1t Is none OF his business. Heb
there to sell goods He very likely
would not understand what was meant
by the immortality of selling a bad
chair or an evil-looking table.
1t Is obvious that the great rule %
furniture buying is excellence-e1csE
lence Of materials, excellence Of form,
excellence OF style, excellence In utli
ity. The word, In fact, sums up In one
way or another about all the requFt
ments THAI can be demanded OF mod
ern furniture. There are, Of course
various degrees OF excellence in furnt
ture, for a single piece may be msds
Of good materials and well made %
boot and yet be thoroughly ill-adaptn
to modern needs and quite useless q
household convenience.
Another helpful rule In furnins
buying Is not to buy too much. WIZ
persons of average means this advles
may seem superf1uous, for even h'0u'
crate amount OF new furniture cOso
a considerable sum. But the happ
housewife, intent on making her Mons
attractive. is very apt to buy NOR
than she needs and to buy pieces wO1
may be quite unnecessary. II VIZ
ways well to leave something to ~
ture time. The table or chair IaA
seems 30 charming to-day may nos
found to have any real utility to-nor
row. 1t is not the change In fAsnl0p
that should be awaited, for sncn
method would only result in ccnfus'aa
and unseemly mixture. It Ia ratna
avoid filing ones rooms and Durup
Ing ones self with more than one F"
tually needs.
