CHURCH ADOPTS THE PIANO.

owe wanted a good instrument to
lead the congregation, one that
would not drown the congregation
al singing" explained Doctor Dixon
of the Metropolitan tabernacle, Lon
don, $50 we have installed a grand
piano. You see," Doctor Dixon
went on to explain, "there are many
reasons for the innovation. Firstly,
the piano is a home instrument, and
it is a happy idea to blend the home
and the church; then, it has a clear,
sweet and distinct tone. Again, we
can infer that the harp being the in
strument mentioned as used in
heaven, the piano is simply a harp

SAY MORGAN WAS WCTlMlzED
Experts Claim Collection, for Which
He Paid Large Sum, Is Of
Trivial Worth.

According to a Cairo dispatch
published in Berlin, Germany, j. P.
Morgan has been cleverly swindled
with a collection of Coptic manu-
scripts which he bought for SAC, 900.
The manuscripts had long been
hawked about for less than a tenth
Of that price, but had not found a
purchaser. Then it was acquired
very cheaply by an astute dealer who
laid a scheme for a profitable deal.
With the aid Of an Egyptian Off
cial a document was forged purport-
ing to show that the Egyptian gov
eminent had offered $4,000 for the
collection. Then the owner Of the
manuscripts went to Paris and Sc
cured a similar document, alleging
hal the French authorities were
ready to pay a like sum,
Armed with these weapons, the
man approached Mr.. Morgan's agent
and made the deal indicated above
When the Egyptian authorities re.
ceived information that the officia.
was implicated he was dismissed
Director Masnero, of the Egyptian
museum, declares that although tn,
collection bought by Mr.. Morgan il
genuine, it is really Of little valu,
and that the price is preposterousl,
high.

Why SaIveS Can't Cure Eczema

Since the ~o1d-fashioned theory Of cur
ing eczema through the blood has been
given up by scientists, many different
salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But IL has beer found that these salves
only clog the pores and cannot penetrate
to the inner skin below the epidermis
where the eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous sue
cess Of the well known liquid eczema
remedy, oil OF w%intergreen, thymol, gly-
cerine, etc, as compounded in Odd,
Prescription.
