THE PIANO HAND ORGANS. Slow Those Popular Intruincnt of tli Strrrt Aru Made. Their inusical merits nsitle, tho me chanical pianos trundled abouttlie streets by the re-established peripatetic perform ers are remarkable- n Hairs. The princi ple on which they are made is, of course, well known. They arc enlarged music boxes, the hammers that btriko tho wires being set in action by coming in contact with minute pegs feet in a cylinder that extends the whole length of tho frame, or, popularly, tho key board. In the largest of these pianos the cylinder is pegged "to play ten tunes, and it takes one complete revolution of the cylinder to finish one tunc. After that tho per former may continue to grind out the came tune again, or by moving a lever push the cylinder forward by as much as tho width of one peg. and so bring out a different piece. These pegs are not nearly as broad as a pin head, and thu fact that, unpleasant as tho machines are to a trained ear, they rarely if ever strike faNo notes, is evidence of the care 'and nicety em ployed in their construction. I'or, in a machine pegged for ten tunes, tho cylin der is simply black with tho pegs, and tho slighteht inaccuracy in placing them would bring out a wrong noto nomo where. The relation of tho pegs to the ham mers may Ir understood if one plays his two hands side by sidu upon tho table, palms down. Tho lingers and thumb may represent tho pegs, each peg play ing its part in the different tunes. The epaco between the lovers which ono peg lifts is just wide enough to pass nine other pegs. It happens, of courbe, that the tame nolo does not occur in every ono of tho ten tunes; in that caso no peg would bo driven in in tho lino of ten -when it came to setting tho cylinder for this especial piece. A manufacturer in Elizabeth street tmakes most if not all of tho mechanical pianos heard on tho streets in this neigh borhood, lie makes everything in his own establishment. "There," said he, pointing to a pilo of dumber, "aro well seasoned boards that nre being kept for working into frames and other parts of the piano. There is the machine for making tho wires. And nil through the house aro materials for the various parts of tho instruments and tho tools for putting them into shape. Now, the piano that was played in front of Tho Sun ollico immediately after tho sildenafil rescinded their order forbid ding Ktrcct music was one of tho best wo ever made. If kept within doors and played moderately, like a house, piano it would remain in good tuno for many weeks: in fact, as long as tho swell in fctruments. I'layed out of doors, it gets out of tune more quickly. Tho exposure to tho weather and the rumbling over rough pavements, as well as constant playing, brings this about. Tho men -Avhohavo pianos in use bring them in 'liero on an average of once in two weeks 'to get Ihem retimed. Of course, another influence to put them out of tuno is tho extreme force with which tho wires aro t.truck." "How is music adjusted to tho cylin der?" "It requires not only a musician but a man who understands tho mechanism of the machine to do this. Tho ilrst thing after selecting the composition is to buy tho piano score. Then tho musician takes u sheet of paper just large enough to cover the cylinder entirely and writes the piece upon it in d its. Tho dots cor respond to the pegs. Tho musician, of course, Iciious Uiiwn: ' lianism, so that he can tell where to pint o a dot to bring out tho corresponding tone. When ho has marked the paper over, a mechanic uses it for a chart, and drives pegs into tho cylinder exactly on tho spots indicated by the dots. Hut the musician's part is 'hy no means limited to u mere transfer of tho composition from ono style of notation, as it were, to another. If that were dono the eirect, would bo feeblo and titterly uninteresting. The mechanical piano has ibsown characteristics, and tho musician must understand them so that ho can double notes in a chord, and even quadruple them, in order to mako tho Hound tell in the open air. As a matter of fact, a piece played on a mechanical piano is substantially the same us if it were arranged for eight hands on two pianos. New York Sun. lluir mi Ort'Kuu llnrnn I'mjrd. Recently, as a train load of circus was coming into town over tho West Side road, a short distance south of town a car containing some of the elephants was derailed. No damage was done, but two of tho elephants were obliged to walk into the city. They were very indignant, cither at being thrown olf tho truck or at having to wall;, and as they passed South Portland they were waving their trunks wildly, while their drivers were what an old hull whaekercalled "socking tho gad to them," and, as heswore, driv ing six inches through their hide atovery blow, a horse hitched by tho side of tho street through which the elephants passed wns bo beared that he sat down on his haunches and folded his foro feet across his breast in an attitude of prayer, and at and trembled till the horrid monsters were out of sight.

Somo months ago Presiding Elder F. A. Burdick called a meeting of all the Methodist pastors of tho Aberdeen dis trict in South Dakota, and put before them the plan of bowing acres of wheat for the liquidation of tho church debts. Tho pastors took to tho idea, and after talk with their people found tho farmers would furnish the laud and do tho work if tho church would furnish the seed. The general societies of the church, which have their headquarters in the cast, then took hold of the matter, and shortly announced that the money for the beed should be forthcoming. The Itov. Mr. Burdick said: "Wo hope to have at least forty acres of wheat on every charge in the Aberdeen district, and on borne as many as bixty. As a matter of fact tho church at Bath has already btartod the ball rolling witli sixty acres. The income from this source will tie applied altogether toward the payment of church debts, and 1 confi dently expect toseo several cleared away before another winter." Cor. Minneap olis Journal. Commkntino on tho KstK)nement of tho lottery caso, the rsow lork World says : The Supreme Court has postponed the hearing until autumn in order that thecase may he determined hy a full bench, but tho briefs are in, and a careful reading of them is not very reassuring to those who desire to see sonic ell'ective restraint nlaced upon this legalized gambling. The argument of tlie lottery lawvers upon me constitutional ouestioiis'invofved is very strong; that of Assistant Attorney-General .Maury for the government seems much weaker than a really capable At toruey-tieneral would have made it. If the law lies with the right in the ease, we must depend upon the Court to discover the liiot without much help from the Attorney-General's otllce as at present manned. This is scarcely just to tho Attornoy Goueral'a office. Mr. Maurv has niiulo the best case that was possible for tho government in this controversy, and has presumably acted in full harmony with Attorney-General Miller, who has" been prevented by illness from preparing tho brief in person. Tho trouble is that tho government has not much of a caso on the face of the paperH. Tho measure which the l.ioiiiniiiiiii Lottery Company challenges before tho tfupronio Court can be defended only on the ground of moral expediency. I'ndoubtediy it is as an abstract proposition an invasion of the liberty of tho press and an infringement of personal rights. Theoretically, if Congress may deny the use of tho nuiils to newspapers containing lottery adver tisements, it may with equal propriety take similar action in tho case of liquor advertisements, playing-card advertise ments, hueket-Hhop" advertisements or any other which the party in tho major ity at tho moment may choose to regard i.a immoral and pernicious. There is, indeed, no end to the mischief and op pression to which such a principle, once established, may not lead. It is but nat ural, therefore," that the Constitution should repudiate it in a general way, and that it s' on Id bo destitute of support in precedent. We can readily see that tho Attorney-General's otlice may have found it impossible to defend tho" law on any but moral and, to a certain extent, sen timental grounds. As we eeo it, tho question is not whether tho government can find any defense in laws idreadv ex istent, but whether the Supremo Court will in view of tho gravity of the caso originate a law to fit this particular emergency. Tho wtrictureson Mr. Maury strike us as unjust. He has no case, ami ho virtually confesses as much. What his brief means is that the Supremo Court should mako a cuso for him. Wathington f IK C.)

Immediately I make ready to set my papers in order on my desk and turn out my lamp, when all at once my lied, on which 1 have somehow turned a more contemplative look than usual, begins to wear a strange, mysterious air, meditative and thought ful, witli its coverlet turned down, its 6heets open and its pillow ready for my head. Why do 1 sit down again and think an hour? and still another hour? My lamp goes out of its own accord, and tho night passes without heeding me. IN TIIK l.ITTI.K WHITE CKII1. I am 3 years old again. 1 sleep in a little white crib, larger than papa's leather valise, smaller than mamma's piano; a crib draped with fresh curtains which cloie about me every evening and aro fastened with a silver pin "to mako me a little room." When I raiso my head 1 see abovo mo an ivory cross swinging at the end of n blue ribbon that hangs from theornice; on each side of mo is a long white silk net, so that 1 shall not fall out. But I am always kicking ofT tho covers and slipping through it and they continually find mo with an arm or a leg caught and hang ing in the meshes. My crib, which I warm with my little childish body, where I am given my warm milk in the early morning, which is so comfortable when tho doctor says 1 am sick, stands at the foot of papa's and mamma's big bed. so that it gives mo great confidence to le so near them they who aro afraid of nothing! I do not know how it is. but 1 must be always asleep when they come in to go to bed I never see them. Their bedtimo is later than mine, much later perhaps oven an hour. As soon as Pie, my nurso, a big girl, brusque and good hearted, who teaches mo how to say my prayers to the Bon Dieti in German as soon as she has given mo my dinner, quick! lain popped into a little bed whose end my feet never see. When shall 1 bo as big as my night gowns? In spito of all my eHorts I can never catch up to them. Then as soon as 1 am stretched out on tho mattress, and Pio has vigorously tucked mo in, I cry out with all my might, lamentably, like a little dog that is being whipped: "Mamma! Mamma!" Somo one comes. There is a noise of footsteps in the corridor. It is papa and mamma. Papa says: "Will you stop making such a noise, you littlo rascal? Wo can hear you all over tho house!" lie turns to the nurso and frowns: "Pie," ho says, "tell me the truth. Has this child been naughty?" "Nein, he has been very goot," says tho excellent Pie. "Then he shall havo a piece of candy," says papa, satisfied at once. "Mint, papa, mint!" I cry out. "Yes. mint!" and papa himself drops into my little moist, open mouth tho big. white crumbling penny which 1 lovo so, and which 1 begin to tasto as soon as its penetrating odor reaches my nose. Un der my littlo teeth the mint drop disap pears like magic. Mamma whispers: "Eat it up, then, little goose!" or, "Ho will break his teeth to pieces." MAMMA DOKSN'T SAY A WOKD. Then sho bends over mo, and then 1 whip out my two arms from tho cover let to clasp her around tho neck. 1 know very well that it must tiro her to be weighted down so, but still I like to do it. And then I lovo her so! Sho kisses me twice, three times then with her pretty fingers sho hurriedly traces tho sign of tho cross on my forehead (beforo I came (hero were two little brothers who both wentnway to heirten) and sho tenderly closes tho curtains without ceasing to look lovingly in at mo through tho ojicn ing which grows smaller-rsmaller. At last the curtains are tight 6Utit and 1 can sco nothing more. But I can hear. Papa has already gono away to his study, whero 1 somehow know that ho is going to smoke a cigar. Mamma, ah, but mamma is still there. Sho is talking to Pio in a low voice sho is talking of all kinds of things and they aro all about me. Then tho lamp goes on its nightly journey. It travels uiiout, it changes its place; finally it is put on a certain comer of tho mantelpiece, always tho same corner, where its dim light cannot reach me. Then 1 hear the noiso of tho fender a chair put in its place a carriage in tho street then All at once I am at last a man, and am wearing trousers like myUnclo Edward. But often 1 nwake witli n start and then a great fear of tho night and the darkness seizes me; 1 stretch out my arms and knock toe, too! on the big bed. The big bed will protect mo. Toe, toe! Too, toe! The knocking itself frightens mo in tho silence. The big lied creaks confusedly. I hear papa, Half awake, telling mo in a queer, droll tone to bo quiet, "Sshl Wo aro all asleop," he says; "everybody is asleep." Mamma does not say n word. Sho rises sho rises and ah! even after forty years my heart recollects the light fall of her dear soft feet on tho carpet nnd the 60iind of her low voice, invisiblo like herself, murmuring close to my cheek, "What is it, thirling?" whilo without hesitation her kiss comes straight to mo in tho night and unerringly finds iuo. -Translated from tho French for Tho Phil adelphia Times.

Headers are fa miliar with the Idea that it Is a world like our own earth, traveling in a smaller but other.v.'so almost similarorbitaround the sun. On more minute inquiry we find that the likeness between it and our earth is in some points very great greater, in fact, than in the case of any oth-r planet In the fundamental ele ment of size they are almost alike, our earth being 7.000 "miles in diameter, and Venus 7.500 The force of gravity on the surface of the latter is very nearly nine-tenths or what it is with us. Its densitv is almost the same fraction as that of the earth. These facts show that if transported to the surface of Venus wo should feel more at home, so far as some essential features of experience are concerned, than on any other planet known to us. We should weigh just about nine-lenths of our present weight, und should find distances bearing much the same ratio to our muscular pow er of walking that they do in this world; while in all probability the surface rocks and earth, if sucji be formed there, would bo compacted :md constructed like those we daily see around us. This would not be the case on planets so much smaller than the earth, as Mer cury or Mars, or so much larger, as Ju piter, Saturn or Neptune. Again, the year on Venus would be about 225 days in length, a good deal more like what we have on the earth than is the case on any other planet. In the length of the day we should find a still more home like experience, an the difference would be imperceptible except to careful ob servation Venus rotates in twenty three hours, twenty-one minutes, twenty eight seconds, and the earth in twenty three hours, fifty-six minutes, four sec onds The day. of courso. depends a littlo upon the motion of the sun in the sky. but the difference lietwecn this, as seen on our earth and from Venus. would not appreciably afreet the similarity of the days in each. These likenesses to tho length of our day and year and to our world's density would cause a simi larity, in all probability, in tho impor tant matters of mountain form nnd of vegetation In fact, so far Venus is nearly the twin sister of our world.
