half-hour later, Brother Japheth,
trudging back to Deer Trace on the
pike, saw the light in the long deserted
cabin back OF the new foundry plant;
saw this and was overtaken at the
Woodlawn gates by Thomas Jefferson
with Longfellow and the buggy. And
he could not well help observing that
the buggy had been llghtened OF its
burden OF household supplies.
Tom turned the horse over to Will

belated dinner somberly reflective. He
was not sorry to find that his mother
and father had gone over to the NAL
or-house. Solitude was grateful at the
moment; he was glad OF the chance TO
try to think himself unlnterruptedly

Sir Moses Montehore 1.-TWO hours
journey to the south of Jerusalem, on
the road toward Hebron, stands a
small fortress called Barak, beside the

been built by King Solomon, and
mile and half farther south is the

An old woman of a wealthy New
Jersey family was going visiting The
coachman, who had not been In this
country long, had just been equipped
with a new uniform and a new silk
hat, Before they had gone far it be-
gan to sprinkle, and the old woman
told the coachman to fasten down the
side curtains of the wagonette.
He drove up to a hitching post be-
side the road and, dismounting, hung
his new hat on the post, and began to
fasten the curtains.
The old woman noticed his bare head
and asked him where his hat was.
"Oi took it off me head, mum, so as
It wouldn't get wet" the coachman re.
piled.

Punning His Speciality.

80 you have made up your mind
to be a specialist-ln what line?" was
the question put to struggling doc

"I don't know" was the answer. "T
have been considering various advan-
tages in different branches. A chirop-
odist can generally get a foothold, no
matter how bed business is; a mani
curist has usually something on hand,
and an ear and eye specialist can often

How the EIks Came Into selno.

Just after the Civil War there was
in New York a certain crowd of young
men, for the most part connected in
one way or another with the dramatic
profession, who met in a room every
Sunday night and called themselves
the jolly Corks One gathers from
the existing data regarding this group
that performers in the variety thea
tres of that day predominated in its
membership. In a pamphlet issued
over the name of one of the charter
members Of the Elks, the late George
w. Thompson, the origin of the order
is described. Having attended meet
ing of the Jolly Corks at the invita-
tion Of one of the regular attendants.
he writes:
Il remember we passed a very en-
joyable evening and dispersed with an
agreement to meet on the following
Brothers Riggs and McDon.

This thing is better that mere Jolly
crowd and will one day amount to

Another Tradition ExpIoded.

Two Englishmen were resting at this
Red Horse Inn" at Stratford -on-Avon.
One of them discovered a print pic
turing a low tumbling building under
meath which was printed: THE House
in Which Shakespeare Was Born"
Turning to his friend in mild surprise
he pointed to the print. His friend ex-
hibited equal surprise, and called a
waiter, who assured them of the ac-
curacy Of the inscription.
"'Pon my word" said the observ-
ing Englishman, shaking his head du-
biously, 81 thought he was born In

In being adapted for the home NOV
ing pictures have entered new and
very promising stage. A simple APP
paratus recently patented is described
as only three feet long by one foot
deep. It is provided with a ground
glass at one end, on which a picture
sx10 inches in size can be thrown,
but If a larger view is required the
ground glass can be removed, when
the image will be projected upon a
white sheet or other surface provided,
and will be enlarged more or less,
according to the distance from the
machine Of this new screen. ANY
convenient lamp, such as an acetylene
bicycle lamp, Will serve for an illu-
mination. It is expected that the ap-
paratus will be made in a variety Of
styles, from a cost of a dollar or two
to quite expensive outfits, and the
spools Of film, lasting two to three
minutes, are to be furnished at prices
comparable to those Of phonograph
records. Freedom from risk Of fire
Is claimed, as the film is heated much
less than by the powerful lights nee
essary for the larger machines.

Judge Nicholas Longworth, who used
to sit on Ohio's supreme bench, looked
unnaturally grave, and a neighbor, in
recognition Of his facial depression,
named a pet owl Judge Longworth."

cited maid broke up his wife's garden
party. "Oh madam" said she. MA

one Trip Nearly Paid Tor schooner.

Dealers at T wharf were given a
surprise when Capt. Horace Hillman
of the 14-ton schooner Eliza Benner
of Edgartown offered 10000 pounds Of
fish to buyers at the exchange. No
one believed that a schooner the sizo

Cape Cod at this season so deeply

purchased the vessel and thought if
he could reach Boston at a time Of
high prices he might be able to nearly

The Antiquity of The Organ.

The organ is the most magnificent
and comprehensive Of all musical in
struments. While the pipes of Pan,
aside from that mythical parsonage,
indicate a very ancient use of pipes as
a means of producing musical sounds,
the water organ Of the ancients" fur
nishes to the student of organ history
the first tangible clew regarding the
remote evolution of the instrument.
In the second century the magripha,
an organ of ten pipes with a crude
keyboard, is said to have existed, but
accounts of this instrument are in
volved in much obscurity. 1t is aver
red that an organ, the gift of Con.
stantine, was in the possession Of King
Pepin of France in 75T but Aldhelm,
a monk, makes mention Of an organ
with gilt pipes" as far back as the
year 700.
