TH '-_ NOST CURIOUS OF ORGANS.

An organ which the leading organist
of New,York could not play is now
being used by professors of Cornell
college.
be supposed, out Of tune. It is because
it is in perfect tune that it differs sc
radically from an ordinary organ. The
‘ordinary organ,- such as is used in
churches and drawing-rooms, is not
in tune, even after the maker has just
declared it to, be in perfect order.
The Cornell organ was invented by
Von Helmholtz, and it contains a pure-
ly mathematical scale. It is made for
the composition of chords such as are
not to be obtained on an ordinary in-
strument, and is used to study the vi-
bration of notes, and of what tones an
organ note is made. Every tone'in
musicois ‘to be found on this organ.
For instance, what are known as
sharps and flats on a piano are not
really sharps and flats. C sharp and
D flat are struck on the same black
key, but, strictly speaking, that black
key is neither;
situated midway between. C sharp and
D flat. If both’of the latter were on
the piano, however, the difference be-
tween them is so slight that it would
confuse the player. So a compromise
is made, and the two are blended, or,
rather, the tone midway between them
'is used. ~
But in Cornell the organ contains
keys for every note in the scale, no
matter how fine the gradation. With
it students can see just how a note on
the organ is built up. Certain notes
on the organ are made up of certain
other tones. On the ordinary piano
you would not be able to illustrate
what these notes are. You would need-
the true sharps and flats in order to
compose the notes. The overtones on
the domestic instrument would be
quite‘different. The pure fifth, which
can here be accurately denoted, is very
much curtailed on the piano. Used in
connection with this organ are a com-
plete set of resonators or tuning forks.
In order to find out how many resona-
tions are contained in a given tone, it
is only necessary to strike that note.
Those forks which resound in sympa-
thy with it are sure to be included in
The silent
ones are not included in it.—Chicago

THE QUEEN OF SPAIN’S BUSY LIFE.
She Rises Early and Begins Work will:
Her Secretary at eight. O‘clock,
Spain is essentially a lazy country.
In all ranks the .people rise late and
turn night into day; but the queen re-
gent—a tall, graceful woman, looking
younger than her years—sets them an
excellent example. Up at, 7, her first
care is given to her children, and by 8
o’clock she is already at work with her
secretary. It is only after lunch, to-
ward 2 o’clock, that she allows herself
an hour of well-earned rest. And
some idea of Queen Christina’s thor-
oughness may be gained by the fact
that she no longer speaks German—her
native tongue—save to those few Teu-
tons who find their way to Madrid.
When she first came a bride from Vi-
enna 'to Spain she had mastered but
imperfectly the language. Now she
talks Spanish correctly, and has, alone
and unaided, acquired a real knowl-
edge of the splendid literature of her
adopted country. When speaking of
her son she seldom refers to him as
"‘his majesty” or “the king!” usually it
s, “my boy” or “my little one.” She
makes no outward difference between
the three children, but it is easy to see
that her heart is specially bound up in

511' Up on Musical Terms.
One of Chicago’s bands went to
Grand Rapids last year to help keep
up the enthusiasm at the mail carri-
er’s convention. The day before the
band left for Michigan the regular bass
drummer was seized with the fever=
and a substitute had to be engaged.
The first evening of the convention
the band was playing in the lobby of
the Morton House. During one of .the
pianissimo movements the new man
beat a terrific tattoo on his drum. In
fact, he was the whole band.
The bandmaster glowered at him all
the way through the selection, but the
substitute bass-drum player was too
busy with the notes to be distracted.
At the close of the number the direct-
or went over to him and said:
“Say, Schmidt, don’t you know what ,
‘pp’ means?”
“Certainly I do,” replied the drum-
mer, as he wiped the perspiration from
his forehead. “It means ‘pound plen—
ty.’ ”—Chicago Journal.
The Abbe and His Shorthand.
The Abbe Prienr had invented a
kind of shorthand which he thou'_ht
would be of some use to the ministry.
But the ministry would none of it,
and the abbe made known his little in-
vention to the King of Prussia, a pa-
tron of such profitable things. But one
of his letters was opened at the Post
Ofiice by the Cabinet Noir, and the
next morning M. Abbe Prienr awoke
in the dungeon of Vincennes. He in-
quired the reason, and in thercourse of
months his letter to the King of Prus-
sia was shown to him. "
“But I can explain that in a moment”
said the abbe. “Look, here is the
translation.” ' ' ‘
The hieroglyphs, in short, were as
innocent as a verse of the Psalms, but
the Abbe Prieur never quitted his dun-
geon—T. Hopkins .in “The Dungeons
of Paris.” . W , V ' . .
“May I ask which of the city’s polit-
ical factions you belong to?” said the
stranger.* “The boss looked at him
sternly and then responded: “What
you doubtless mean to ask, sir, is
which political faction belongs to me.”

A WHITEHOUSE BLACKLIST.
And Names of Uniuvlted Guests at a Re-
fceptlon Placed Therein. '
7 The White House has a blacklist. It
is an interesting souvenir of this sea-
son’s receptions. It goes to prove that
there are persons who own fine clothes
to remain away from places to which
they are‘ not invited. The invitations
given this year to the White House
receptions were prepared with unusu-
al care. Lists of the invited were kept,
and cards were issued to individuals
by name. The heretofore indefinite
and indiscriminate “and ladies” was
not employed. That there might be
no misunderstandings, the secretary to
the President, Mr. Porter, and the man
associated with him in the manage-
ment of details let it be known
through the newspapers that steps
would be taken to detect any who
came without invitations. But the
method tobe employed was not ex-
plained. .
The trap was set, and it did its duty.
At one reception 213 persons who had
not been invited came to the White
”House and participated. At another at-
fair the number of uninvited preSenl
was 150. The manner in which the in-
truders were detected is interesting.
As usual, each guest, on' advancing to
the entrance of the receiving—room,
was told by an official to “give your
name to the office-rs, who will present
you.” The name of each guest was
called outftwice, first by the officer in-
troducing to the President, and again
by the ofiicer‘who made the presenta-
tion to Mrs. McKinley. The announc-
ing was done with distinctness. But
this year an attache of the White
House stood in a secluded nook and
took down every name that was called
out. Comparison with the roster of
t'he invited was made subsequently,
and in this way the names of the un-
invited were singled out and the black-
list was created.
This was not all. Doorkeepers from
the Senate and House were present
to add their knowledge of faces to that
of the White House ushers. Alpha-
betical lists of the invited were in the
possession of the officials. When there
was doubt about any one the lists were
consulted. Some of the uninvited were
asked for their addresses. Subse—
quently letters were addressed to sev-
eral of those who had come without in-
vitations asking explanations of the
breach. Most of the letters were ig-
nored.‘ Several replied, laying the
blame on Congressmen from whom
they claimed to have received verbal
invitations. Half a dozen Department
‘people were caught, and their cases
were referred to superior officials.—

SURGEONS OF THE ARMY.
' The Reason Given \Vhy They Wear Greer.
,_ Sashes. .
A great many people do not know
why army surgeons wear green Sashes.
It is not so much an insignia of rank
as it is a protection to the wearer.
According to the code of war surgeons
are never shot or taken prisoner. To
deliberately shoot a surgeon while he
is wearing a green sash is considered
a violation of the code and punishable
by death. -
Because of this provision surgeons
of one army never refuse to look after
the wounded of the other army if it
is possible for them to do so. During
the civil war it was often the case that
after a battle the field hospitals would
contain almost an equal number of
men wearing the blue and gray. The
federal army had the best surgeons
and the best stores, and a wounded
Confederate Considered himself in
great luck if he was removed to a fed-
eral hospital to be cared for by fed-
eral surgeons and physicians.
But in the heat of battle a green sash
is not much protection and surgeons
were often wounded or killed. But
this did not keep the surgeons at the
rear until the. battle was over. They
were often found in the thick of the
fray, dressing wounds and sending the
wounded to the rear. Theirs was a
perilous as well as a' noble duty, and
they performed it well.—-Oma.ha Wori'd
Herald.
A Convenient, Custom.
In Holland bills are often paid
through the medium of the post office.
It enables a man living, say, in Rot-
terdam, to get a small bill collected in
any provincial town without the often
expensive and tedious interference of
a banker or agent. For that purpose
be hands his bill to the nearest post-
otl‘ice. It is sent to the place where the
money is to be collected. After the
collection a draft is forwarded to the
payee by the office where he deposited
the bill and where he gets his crash and
the bill duly receipted on payment of
a smzll commission, which is payable
in advance—London Evening News.
The Jerusalem Proclamation.
The announcement is made that ar-
rangements have been completed for
"The Jerusalem Proclamation.” On
the first Christmas "morning of the new
century the “Gloria in Excelsis" will
be rung on the chimes of the Church
of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem,
and at the same moment bells in the
principal churches in all the capitals
of Christendom, telegraphically con-
nected, are to peal out the long—cher-
ished proclamation of “Glory to God in
the Highest; Peace on Earth; to Men
Good Will!”
