Didn't Believe It Had Gone.

Cases of ignorance ON the part Of
telegram writer's are now rare, but
many Incidents could be cited from
the early days Of the telegraph. Sew
eral are given in r. e. Baines' ION the
Track Of the Mail Coach" In the late
forties he received from north Of
England man message and promptly
sent it. But the man fatty declined
to believe that it had gone, because
he could see it (the form he had filed
up) still hanging there. and the op-
orator had to push the form into the
instrument and ring the bell to pacify
him. A woman in Norfolk town In
sisted upon inclosing the telegram she
had written in an envelope. SO that no
prying eyes might read it as 1t went
along the wire.

MOST POWERFUL ORGAN.
Famous Old instrument In Sc. Paul's
Cathedral, London.

Famous Old instrument In st. Paul'0
Cathedral, London.
The organ Of st. Pauls cathedral in
London Is the most powerful In the
world. There is a weight of three
tons on the bellows, and some Of its
giant pipes disappear from view In the
recesseS Of the enormous dome. Some
Of the smaller pipes are up by the
altar, and the rest are either hidden
away behind the long row Of choir
stalls or are seen towering on either
side Of the choir gates. But all are
controlled from little organ loft In
which is scarcely room for anyone be-
side the organist seated at the key
board. @ 8-...-a.-. g., s.. sj-.-
tiers of over 100 ivory handle stops.
The organist showed how, by pressing
with his thumb one Of row Of buttons
as he played, whole combinations Of
stops were pushed out or pushed In.
He demonstrated. too, how with the
slightest pressure he could transform
the sound Of the organ from the softest
and sweetest Of tones to volume
which rolled and seemed to shake the
entire building.
The organ is very ancient one. 1t
was built between the years 1924 and
100 by one Bernard Schmidt, cele-
brated German organ maker, and cost
over $4,000. Schmidt was merely re-
sponsible for the inside work, the case
being supplied by joiner for just over
1880, while the carving on the case
cost nearly f116. The organ has since
undergone entire reconstruction, but
all Schmidt's pipes have been retained
and are now doing as good service as
when they were made.-London Mail.

10 FrusaIity Practically Lost Art In
This country7
We are undoubtedly the most waste
full people In the world. In America
frugality is almost lost art. Count
less men and women are actually SUI
fering, both physically and mentally,
because they do not know how to stop
waste in their own homes.
Waste Is a devastating thing. Il
goes on under our eyes; It goes on
while we sleep-it is always going on.
There Is as much difference between
honest wear and tear and waste as
there Is between an honest man and q
thief. We waste our time. our money.
our food. -
In q household about IS per cent of
the heat from the furnace Is wasted
Our children take more than they can
eat and waste the rest. But before We
correct them we should look at our
own plates. The amount Of gas vast
ed In jets unnecessarily kept burning
In single day all over the United
States would. II we could compute II,
be staggering indictment Of our folly.
The American business man goes on
the principle that 1t Is easier for him
to make more money to pay for the
waste In his home than it is to waste"
his time in trying to stop 1t. His wife
is unconsciOusly Influenced by bis ex-
ample.
What can we do about it7 Some
thing, anyway. We can talk about It,
gesticulate about 1t, think about 1t and
make up our minds right now to fight
It In every way pOssible.-Life.

A ROYAL Superstition.

Canterbury cathedral, England, like
most Catholic cathedrals. is decorated
with innumerable inches for statues
At Canterbury series Of these inches
is occupied with statues Of kings and
queens Of England, and there are only
four inches left unoccupied. An old
tradition has 1t that when all the inches
are filled the throne Of England will
come to an end. Queen Victoria was
approached with view to statue of
herself being placed in one Of the four
remaining inches. but her late majesty
was aware Of the old tradition and re-
fused. One wonders whether in the fu-
ture there will be four monarchs Of
England sufficiently Indifferent to SUI
perstition to defy the tradition and al
low their efigies to ill the unoccupied
spaces.

Disgusting EPSON Salt.

I, Seeking for various ways of disguis-
ing the taste Of EPSON salt has become
something Of fad. Here is the very
latest suggestion. and very good one:
To each teaspoOnful Of salt add one
fourth teaspoonful Of cream of tartar
and little sugar. Dissolve in little
hot water and add cold water. A small
er dose Of salt is required when the
cream Of tartar is used, since it hastens
the action of the EPSON salt.
