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sildenafil rescinded their order forbid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.

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

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.

Eleven o'clock strikes. 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

Whilo watching these graceful wind
ings of the planet, we naturally inquire
as to its real condition. 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.

The brusque and fussy im
pulse of these days of false
impression would rate down
all as worthless because one
is unworthy.
As if there were no motes
in sunbeams !
Or comets among stars !
Or cataracts in peaceful
rivers !
Because one remedy pro
fesses to do what it never
was adapted to do, are all
remedies worthless?
Because one doctor lets his
patient die, are all humbugs?
It requires a fine eye and
a finer brain to discriminate
to draw the differential line.

Golden Medical Discovery and

" They say " for a weak sys

hope of debilitated, feeble

"August
Flower
I Imd been troubled five months
with Dyspepsia. The doctors told
me it was chronic. I had a fullness
lfter eating and a heavy load in the
pit of my stomach. I suffered fre
quently from a Water Brash of clear
matter. Sometimes a deathly Sick
ness at the Stomach would overtake
me. Then again I would have the
terrible pains of Wind Colic. At
such times I would try to belch and
could not. I was working then for
Thomas McIIenry, Druggist, Cor.
Irwin and Western Ave., Allegheny
City, Pa., in whose employ Iliad
been for seven years. Finally I used
August Flower, and after using jnst
one bi ttle for two weeks, was en
tirely relieved of all the trouble. I
can now eat things I dared not touch
before. I would like to refer you to
Mr. McHenry, for whom I worked,
who knows all about my condition,
and from whom I bought the medi
cine. I live with my wife and family
at 30 James St., Allegheny City, Pa.
