"In point of fact, we must apply to this gentleman the name of the tirst King of Sparta." No one iemembered, of course, what this was. but when they looked it up they found it was Eudamidas. As Horace Maun sat in bis study one evening, au iusaue mau rushed Into the room, aud, after abusing him for all kiuds of funded grievances, challenged him to a tight. Mr. Maun replied: "My dear fellow. It would give me a great pleasure to accommodate, but I can't do it. the odds are so unfair. 1 am a Maun by uame and a man by natare—two against oue! It would never do to tight." The iusaue man answered: "Come ahead; I am a man. aud a man beside myself; let us four have a tight.” Prince Bismarck and BancrofL the historian, at one time minister to the court of Berlin, were one day dining with Herr von der lleydt, who prided liimself on the quantity aud quality of the food which he furnished to his guests, in those days (Uti8> Bismarck was still In possession of his wonderful apix-tlte. Bancroft, at first amazed, be came at last anxious on seeing his fiieml twice iiartake largely of the first courses. “Dear Count,” he remarked w ith a world of anxiety in his voice, "I believe there is uiure to come.” “I should luqie so," replied Bismarck, joy fully; and renewed his terrifying prac tice at the next course. It was oix-e usual for Highland shep herds to take their dogs Into church and leave them outside the pews. Two shepherds at enmity sat on opixwlte sides of the aisle one Sunday, and. soon after tlie sermon began, tlie dogs— one u collie and the otlier uot—seemed to euter into their master’s quarrel. The shepherds' egged on their dogs in un dertones. and soon there was a real fight in progress. Most of those In the immediate neighborhood craned their necks over the [s-ws to see how the en counter was coming out. and uot a few w ere standing up. The minister's pa tience w as ultimately exhausted, anil so be called to his "hearers" and said: “Ah, wis-1, my brhlierln.

Hans Miron, who lost his life at his post of duty on the burning Saale nt Hoboken, a few mouths ago. was fond of telling of his early introduction to the sti-rn realities of his chosen ca reer. He had but just come on board the schooner where, as cabin-boy, he was to serve his apprenticeship to tlie s»*a. and was still staring alsiut him with boyish Interest and Inquisitive ness, when the sklp[M*r approached and ordered him to assist in washing down the deck. He put dow n ills bundle and started awkwardly to do so. when a sis-oixl onkr, acom[>anled by emphatic expletives, was given him to take off I his shoes and stocklugs. He was ¡>er- f«‘<-tly willing to oblige, but at home he had not Ixx-n permitted to wet his feet. "No,” lie answered innocently, w ith an engaging smile, "1 should not mind, but my mother does not allow ft.” The skipper was a rough old sea-dog, who did not appreciate olxxllem-e unless it was rendered to himself, ami his reply was a stunning blow- that filing the boy across the deck. "But after that.” ('apt. Miron would say, with a gre«it laugh and not a shadow of resentment. "I knew who was captain of that schooner, and It was not my mother." TUNING A PIPE ORGAN. hree Dav« and i* Take.

The same |»e<»ple who neglect au organ will take giMid care of a piano costing a tenth or twentieth as much. "An organ is a good deal like a hu man lieing wheti It comes to changes of the thermometer. Sudden drop« put a man out of tune and It’s the »ame with tlie Instrument. It needs an even, moderate temperature during the win ter instead of a roasting on Sunday and a freeze the rest of the week. Iu summer a stone or brick chuich gets damp. A »light fire once a week will keep the organ dry. "A pil»e organ requires tuning at least once a year and the best Instru ments are looked over two or three times In that period. It Is a two or three days’ job and needs two men. Besides the tuner up In the organ an assistant must l>e at the key bnard to hold down the keys. Temperature has .‘to be <s»n»ldere«i even in tuning. All the pipes must tie brought to >tch at almut the «aine degree, and this degree should lie that which the organ usual ly has when In use.

Of course, the pitch di [x-nds on the length of toe pipe. Th< pit h may be raised by simrieuiag the pipe or by stopping the opeu end. A uuiuber of the wooden pipes are stopped by wooden slides. Handles are attached aud the pipe 1s tuued by moving the slides up or down. Other woods have set in the top a piece of metal which is rolled or beut over par tially to stop the pipe. "Ribbon strips are cut In the sides of the tall metal pipes aud rolled down. These break the column of air aud act the same as cutting off the top of the pipe. Another kind of pipes, the reeds, are on a different principle. The length of the reed controls tile pitch.

In 1874 General Starr was in com mand at Fort Riley, and one day an orderly came to his quarters with the message that Lieutenant Morrison, just from West Point, was at the post ready to pay Ida respects ami reixirt for duty. In response to this message the old gen eral was starting for his office, when his wife, a motherly old soul, plucked him by the sleeve and said: "Now, general, promise tue that you won’t be rough with that young man.” "Rough?" said the old man, smiling amiably upon his matrimonial compan ion. "Why I’ll be peaches and cream unless the young dog riles me.’ Reaching his office the general was confronted with a dapper little fellow, as spick and span as though he had Just come from the hands of his barber and tailor, while he had tlie half su percilious air that seems Inseparable from the first stages of military educa tion. Looking the young lieutenant over for half a moment tlie old general said with great dignity: "How do you uo, Mr. Morrison? 1 am pleased to see you.” Then, as a flush gradually mounted over his weather-beaten features, he added: “I am always glad to see you young men from the military academy.

The paper used by Sonneberg manufacturers is nnule In Oeslau aud Si-lileuslugeu and costs at present about 1.40 marks (33 cents) per 4K0 sheets. Oue sheet makes three of the common masks. The painting of cheap masks costs alxiut 50 pfennigs (12 ceutsi per gross; the molding of face costs about (10 pfennigs <14 cents) per gross. Pack Ing Is figured at about 3 per cent, as the masks are rolled fu brown paper, the ends being folded In to save string. The expenses are estimated at alxiut 15 per cent, leaving the net proHt 20 to 22 ]x>r cent, as the complete article sells at present at alxiut 1.80 marks <42.8 cents) per gross.
