U6HT TOUCHES.
The construction of some Pianos and
Organs Is such as to require considerable
force to produce sound. In those we are
showing the mechanical parts are so nicely
adjusted that they respond to the most
delicate touch. But they can stand the
heavier hand of a player made enthusiastic
by the richness of tone, the volume, the
purity of their notes. And the exteriors
are fitting houses for such music. See

Walter Besant’s Tribute to America.
Sir Walter Besant, the eminent Eng
lish novelist, said, when he went back
to England after a visit here, that noth
ing he saw in America impressed him
so deeply as the devotion of our young
people to their flag; that nowhere ex
cept among British soldiers had he seen
such affection and respect for a national
emblem, and that a nation which as a
whole felt as we seemed to feel about
our colors from the time we left our
mothers’ knees, was one that could
withstand the whole world in arms.—

' HATS OFF IN CHURCH.
A Chicago Pastor Serves Notice oa th*
Women of Mi* Congregation.
The women of Unity churoh, Oak Park,
will take off their bonnets and hate and
■lt unbonneted and unhatted during the
Sunday morning and evening services non
duoted by their pastor, tbe Rev. B. F.
Johonnot, who says be “cannot see why
the children of durkuoss should always bo
wiser than the children of light.” In
fact, he does not pronose to let the theater
become more advanced than the church.
So a few weeks ago ho Intimated to his
congregation his wishes in the matter and
requested the women of Unity churoh to
be leaders In the new movement.
Naturally tbe step caused something
more than a ripple of surprise. Not a
little Indignation was expressed. There
were some who said Pastor Johonnot was
growing autocratic when he attempted to
dictate in matters of dress. It hardly
seemed decorous to sit unbonneted in
church; besides, there were other questions
Involved. What was to become of the
church millinery? “How does my hair
look?” would be the query now, Instead
of the old familiar “ Is my hat on straight?’ ’
It certainly gives the congregation a
home look aa they sit all with uncovered
heads, but somehow it is not satisfying.
The attractive and diverting spectacle of
well trimmed hats and bonnets, resem
bling as they do a garden of flowers, la
like the withdrawal of the stained glass
windows or an effective part of the serv
ice. True, there is no craning of the neck
to get around a big, offensive bat to see
the preacher, and this is the reason for
the mandate, “Take off your bonnets and
hats in church.”
The Rev. B. F. Johonnot, pastor of
Unity church, believes that the church of
the future will have a dressing room where
ladles can leave their hats and wraps and
a checkroom for overcoats and umbrellas.
He is very much in earnest in his new
crusade against tbe monopoly of fashion.
‘I have no personal Interest in the mat
ter,” he said, “except to give a more home
like and devotional aspect to the meeting.
It will, if carried out, make the congrega
tion look as If its ladies had come to stay
and were not merely visitors. Then con
sider the courtesy of such a movement II
will be carrying out the golden rule.
Why, I went to a church in the city not long
ago where four young ladies camo in and
occupied the pew in front of me. Each
one wore a flower garden on her head, and,
I did not get even a glimpse of the preach
er. You seo, our churches have not raised
seats like the theater, yet the theater set
the first example and compelled ladies to
take off their hats.
‘ ‘Now, I do not ask my people in a com
pulsory spirit to remove their hate. 1
suggest it as’a matter of courtesy, first ta
the church, next to mo as their pastor. As
I sold in public, I have two reasons—one
and tbe main one is that other people may
enjoy the privileges of the sanctuary, the
other that the assembled worshiperg may
look more homelike.
“The women have accepted the edict in
a very friendly spirit of acquiescence. The
leaven is working well, and I ftrnst express
my gratitude to tbe young women of the
choir, who led the way. Os course there
are some who will never change a custom
until it becomes a fashion. As soon as it
la fashionable to sit in church without n
bonnet all the ladles will adopt the idea.”
“Perhaps they have a wholesale fear of
St. Paul, who said that the women should
remain covered in churoh?”
“St. Paul is out of date with such tra
ditions as those in the present age of the
world. I intend to leave the matter en
tirely to the good sense and courtesy oi
the ladies of my congregation, satisfied
that they will decide what is best them
selves. The whole thing was suggested to
me by complaints made from time to time
by sitters who could not see the platform
on account of the overshadowing prow
ence of fashionable millinery.”—Chicago
Times-Herald.
Carnot and Alsace-Lorraine.
At a dinner recently I sat beside an em
inent Frenchman who graduated at the
Polytechnic with M. Carnot. The severe
discipline—a military discipline—and the
fearful mathematical grind there weld the
pupils into a close brotherhood. They are
out of touch with every one else. Carnot
was generally amiable, but only expanded
with Poly technicians. My neighbor and 1
were speaking of his sense of public duty
and his deep feeling of patriotism. It was,
said the former, very sincere, and he gave
the following as an instance: “I went one
forenoon early in 1899 to dejeuner with
him as an old Polytechnic chum. He was
pacing up and down his morning room,
and was in a state of glee that reminded
me of the Carnot of the Polytechnic when
he had solved some all but insoluble prob
lem in mathematics.
“I said to him: ‘You are in a state oi
visible contentment. Can I share in it?’
‘Ca va bien; ca va bien,’ he went on re
peating. He kept rubbing his hands and
was so overjoyed at something that I said
to myself, ‘lt would be shabby now to
proffer a request, for he could not help foi
sheer joy to grant the favor.’ ‘May I
ask,’ I ventured to say, ‘what goes on sc
well?’ ‘Ca va bien; ca va bien, mon ami.’
‘Mais, quol?' *We have drawn the czar tc
our side. Mark my words. Great events
Are in course of preparation. We shall re
cover what we lost.’ ‘Recover what?’
‘Alsace-Lorraine. It may not be in my
presidency, but I think I shall live to see
it and before many years have sped.’”—
London Truth.
Curse Cards.
Curse cards are a novelty which have
lately been introduced into Prussia, Sax
ony and Alsace, though they originated in
Calvin’s land. The manner in which tbe
propagandist employs the curse cards is
said to be as follows: He or she starts in
the early morning by filling his or her
pockets with the form in blank. When in
omnibus, tram or train, bad language is
heard; then the user of the profane words
is Invited to fill in the blank forms, and
he binds himself for a certain time to ab
stain from “swear words” or to do pen
ance in pfennings for indulgence in the
same. In Switzerland 39,800 of these
cards have been distributed, and, as the
prospectus gravelyremarks, “In a country
where three great European languages are
spoken the system will have invaluable
results in enabling the religious statisti
cian to estimate tbe prevalence of violent
language among the nations of western
Europe.” The benefits of the curse card!
have yet to be proved.
A Considerable Admission.
I* Os course, all my aunts say that tbs
baby looks like me,” said the blushing
young man.
“What does your wife say to that?”
asked the elder man.
“Well, she admits that perhaps I may
resemble tbe baby a little.”—ludlanapolis
