Some Evening Reveries.
He was wise who wrote:

means is gone when one keeps
house for ones own comfort anG
| not for the comment of ones own
neighbors." Deny it as we will,
| few of us have the moral force to
set up a standard of our own,
based upon our own incomes and
our own particular home environ
lments. We commit the folly of
regulating our expenses by the in
come of some one else. If the
| Browns across the street hang up
[expensive lace curtains, we are dis
conted until lace curtains have
gone up to our windows, no matter
how much smaller our income may
be than that of the Browns. IF
the Smiths put down a velvet
carpet, our neat and pretty ingram
becomes an eye-sore to US. We
are extremely mindful of what our
neighbors will think about many
things that ought not to concern
them in the least. We have no
standard of our own. Our dress
and even our tables must be regu-
lated by the standards of others.
We have not the courage nor the
independence to be Indifferent to
the comment of our neighbors.
This form of moral cowardice is
causing many families to live be-
yond their incomes. They can
face debt and forfeit their self-re-
spect easier than they can face the
unfavorable comment of their
friends and neighbors. The extent
to which this imitation of others is
carried would be ludicrous did it
not bring so much unhappiness in
it's train. It is frequently the
direct cause of the discord and dis
content and debt that have driven-
happiness from the family hearth
stone. Let us have a standard of
our own, based upon our own
tastes, our own incomes, our own
needs and let us cheerfulIy and
bravely adhere to this standard,
needless of that dreadful bugbear:
what will the neighbors say?"
Incidence is an enemy to home.
Some men are too lazy to provide
decent conveniences at home. It
is crime against the happiness Of
the home for a man to neglect to
provide the little conveniences that |
will add to the beauty and comfort |
of the home. Say, brother, take !
out that old mildewed pillow and
put in pane of glass; it is too
painful as it it. Climb up then
and put the bricks on the chimney
where the storm of last winter blew
them off. Put a carpet on the
floor and a few pictures on the
wall. Put some good books on
The shelves and give your family a
paper or two to read. Study to
make yourself useful and to rob
home of its bleakness by providing
,hings that add to it's comfort and ,
brightness. Make the children
eel that home is a paradise in
which the thrushes of love ever /.

In unity there is strength. This
is never more true than in the
home. A home strong to meet ad-
versity and the most adverse cir
eumstances in life is where there is
union of hearts and union of hands.

Before leaving home in the morn

In the midst Of his meditation a
brake, filed with ladies on their way
to a well-known resort, pulled up to
allow the driver to bait his horses.
After seeing to the animals, Bill and
the driver adjourned inside to refresh
the inner man.

"Oh," said the driver, in an off hand
manner, I'm going to Burnham."
After thinking deeply for few min

"Yus." was the reply. "Cost yer

Farmer Triumphs Over Judge and

An eminent lord chief justice, who

"Stop!" said the Judge; 1--WE can't
have any hearsay evidence here!"
"Not!" exclaimed Farmer Giles.
Then how dost know who thy feyther
was 'cept by hearsay?"
After the laughter had subsidized the
judge said: In courts of law we can
only be guided by what you have seen
with your own eyes. and nothing more
or less"
''Oh, that be blowed for a tale!" re-
piled the father. 'I ha' got bile on

OLDEST CHURCH ORGAN.

Found on Island of Gothland and in
Excellent State of Preservation.
In the Baltic sea, forty miles from
the mainland, lies the Swedish island
Cortland, a Mecca for students of
early Gothic architecture. In Wisely
alone, the chief town of the island,
with it's population of 5000 souls, may
be studied what remains of no less
than ten churches, some of which date
from the eleventh and twelfth cen
turtles. The Oldest of them is thu
Church of the Holy Ghost, completed
about 1916.
Prof Henneberg, director in q Ger
man music school, and especially in
terested in the study of mediaval or
gans, visited fifty-nine churches in
Gothland, and in little village called
Sundre came upon the remnant OF
what is unquestionably the oldest
known organ in existence. The case
alone has survived the fret of seven
centuries, the holes for pedals and
manuals are placed as in modern in
struments, and inside one can see the
CHAMBER for the bellows and Judge Of
their action; the exterior is adorne l
with paintings from about 1240.
When this ancient instrument could
no longer serve its original purpose
it was used as a sacristy, and for the
safeguard OF holy vessels and vest
ments was kept in careful repair.
hence its excellent preservation to
our day.
