LIGHT TOUCHES.
The construction of some Pianos and
Organa 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
parity of their notes. And the exteriors
are fitting houses for such music. See
them at

REMARKABLE TOWNS.
One In England That Is Made of Railway
Carriages.
1 Scattered throughout the area of
Great Britain are numerous towns and
’ villages of a curious character. One
' Urge village actually consists of old
railway carriages, even the little mis-
| sion chapel being built out of four large
horse trucks. Another village, with a
, population of 1,100 and a ratable value
of £B,OOO, has neither church, chapel
nor school, the only public edifice being
f a pillar letter box.
* Villages with a single inhabitant are
1 not unknown. At Skiddaw, in Cumber
land, there is a solitary householder,
who cannot vote because there is no
I overseer to prepare a voters’ list and no
j church or other public building on
which to publish one, while the only
ratepayer in a certain rural North urn -
5 berland parish has recently declined to
1 bear the expense of repairing a road be
cause he considers it quite good enough
-for himself.
In the isle of Ely there is a little
parish which has been somewhat con
temptuously described as “a portion of
land, with three or four houses and per
-5 haps 12 inhabitants. ” This place has
’ no roads at all and is consequently put
, to no expense in keeping them in repair.
> As a matter of fact, there are no ex
penses of any kind and no rates.
1 One of tbe most remarkable villages
3 in this country is Kempton, near Bed
-3 ford, which is seven miles long and ex
s tremely straggling. To walk from one
] end of the village to the other occupies
two hours.
5 Sometimes whole villages will prac
tically disappear. A little Shropshire
village has gradually sunk, until now
it is almost out of sight. It is built on
a disused coal pit, and the sinking goes
on steadily every year. Now and then
-a tottering house is propped up to keep
it standing, but in spite of all precau-
r tions buildings are constantly falling to
the ground, and in course of time doubt
. less nothing will be left but a few
- bricks to mark the spot where a village
I once stood.
1 There are plenty of deserted villages
[ throughout the country. A diversion of
’ trade into other channels is sometimes
sufficient to produce this effect. Not
many years ago the proprietors of an
iron works at a townlet near Sheffield,
being unable to obtain certain conces
sions from a railway company, removed
g their works. Shortly afterward half the
place was to let, and the windows of
. many of the houses were boarded up.—

1 “I ran across a station agent up in
the bills the other day who came as
t near being jack of all trades as any
man I ever struck,” said Henry Darby.
r “I refer to a little dried up looking fel
low, with more energy than Carter had
oats and more irons in the fire than any
3 blacksmith of long experience could
possibly keep his eye on. To start with,
my little friend is express, freight and
r ticket agent, has a 10 cent store, sends
’ a telegraph message when he has to, al
though his is not a train order office; is
t postmaster, treasurer for the local Sun
. day school union and two lodges and
acts as distributer for a Bible society.
Then he is examiner for an insurance
company, issues policies for fire, acci-
5 dent and tornado insurance, is switch
[ tender at his place, buys fruit for one
- eastern house in summer and produce
for another in fall and winter. He has
- long been a justice of the peace, was
* twice school trustee and councilman, is
a deacon in his church and a leader, of
the hamlet choir. He was chairman of
the city Republican committee, has tbe
agency for platform scales and riding
cultivators, sells thrashers and light
vehicles and finds time to fish a little
every spring.”—Louisville Post
Informal Receipt.
1 Uneducated people sometimes have a
’ happy knack in coming to the point
Here, for example, is a story from the
Boston Herald:
: Dan and Mose, neither of them noted
for erudition, were partners in an enter
prise which it is needless to specify.
One morning a customer called to settle
a small bill and after banding over the
money asked for a receipt
Mose retired to the privacy of an
inner room and after a long delay re
turned with a slip of paper, on which
were written these words:
“We’ve got onr pay. Me and Dan.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson once told a
good story of a friend who always car
ried in his pocket a horse chestnut as a
protection against rheumatism, just the
same as other people wear shields and
other specifics. Emerson thus testifies
■to the results in his friend’s case: "He
has never had the rheumatism since he
began to carry it, and indeed it appears
to have had a retrospective operation—
for he never had it before.”
