PRODUCT OF MANY BRAINS
Grwat Musical Instrument, the Organ.
Had Its Inception Over Two
Thousand Years Ago.
More than two thousand years ajre
a harbor In Alexandria discovered i
that In moving his mirror air was i
forced through the tubes which were {
common In mirrors at that time. This
caused a curious musical sound to he
emitted.
So struck was he by this peculiarity f
that he set about making an instru- t
I ment which was the foundation of the \
modern organ. ?
After several experiments he mads ,
a water-flute, in which air was forced
j by bellows through an Inverted cone 0
which led to tlutes controlled by a key- i'
| hoard, tlie pressure being kept unl- I
j form by water. t
After a thousand years a rival In- ; c
1 strument made its appearance. This (
I was a similar pattern, but, instead of
! water, weights regulated the pressure.
In U51 an organ was erected at Win- V
Chester, Knglnnd. It had twenty-six ^
bellows and ten pipes to each key. The i
two men who sut ut the keyboard \
"blew and sweated enormously." i j
Luter, a tirm of organ makers In
Germany succeeded In erecting the
1 llrst really big Instrument. The prlui|
ary stops did not differ very much
from those of today, ulthough various '
j novelties were Introduced. '
Among the Innovations were the f
j nightingale and cuckoo stops, while 3
others represented cock-crowing and ^
goat-bleating. Though these novelties ^
| have now fallen into disuse, an organ
1 with one of these nightingale stops is ( c
I still to be seen in Home.
It was not until the Nineteenth con- -i
! tury that the problem of the regula- j r
I tion of air pressures was solved b*y j,
' the lutroductiou of the hydraulic j
j blower.

Never Too Old to Dance.
I Staid old London is becoming too

It is a fact, dancing masters of the h
fashionable west end say, that the Eng b
lieli dance craze has reached such a n
height that septuagenarians are among ,|
their most enthusiastic pupils. ^
"And they do very well, too," one of
these toddling tutors declares. "Some
of them come for the sake of exercise, P
not with the idea of cavorting in the P
ball room. But they Insist, invariably, u
on being taught the latest thing, even e
though they claim to view' the dancing
I class as n sort of modern gymnasium. ^
"When they take to the cafes or hall
I rooms, however, they strengthen their v

It was agreed that in former wars

In the Iate *ar. if all the metal ex<ended

vould be required to kill a man. Of

Essay on Hahies by Little (lirl.
Not since the publication of "The
.ittle Visitors" bv a girl prodigy has
here been penned a more novel ef- i
ort, surely, than that resulting from
in essay contribution recently retired
by the instructor appearing ,
efore one of the several Little Mothrs'
leagues in schools of the city.
In these classes Rirls between the
ges of 9 and 10 arc taught better
nethods of assisting in the care of
nfants at their homes. Hoping to I
Iraw out how much of her instrue- ,
ion had been retained bv her youthul
pupils, one of the teachers re- j
uested that they prepare written es-1
ays on the subject.
Reproduced herewith is a faithful
epiction of the contribution of a cer
ain little lady of 10, which she tcrmd
an "S. A. on babies."
"When a baby is born it should |
i-eigh seven pounds. After it is i
arger it should lose. You should ;
cald the pasifier before the baby uses |
t.
"A baby should sleep by itself and
very morning should be aired out. A
aby should be bathed every morning,
'ou should wigh a baby every week
n the room the baby sleeps in the
ug that is on the floor it is best to
ake a newspaper and tear them up
nd dampum them an put them on the
ug and let it stay a little while then
weep it up and the dust will come up
I'ith them."
P. S.?The teacher is willing to take
ath she never mentioned that dread
pasifier," either scalded or unscaldd.?Ashville

Ixinely Hotel Bedrooms.
"What is the loneliest place in the
. orld?" asks the Gideon, organ of the
raveling Christian salesman of this
ountry. The answer it gives is the
lotel bedroom. Those who know it
est are the commercial travelers,
aany of whom spend 60 per cent of
heir time in the hotel bedroom, far
rom their homes and relatives. They
now its dreariness and isolation, its
overty of social intercourse and op.
ortunity, its bareness of outlook and
iplifting influences. It is a loneliness
xaggerated by sumptuous furnishings,
y the bustle and commotion of hnnrcds
of people all about one, by the
ery earnest and well-intentioned cforts
of managements to create the
homelike" atmosphere which cannot
c manufactured or imitated without
he presence of family or relatives or
riends.
Hence the effort to place Bibles in
1)0,000 salesmen on the road on this
ontinent and probably 3,000,(XX) hotel
edrooms. So the field is large.
