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 J.

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.— j London Tit-Bits. r Versatile. 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.” I A Cbestnat. 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.” A plant grows in Assam which has ! the peculiar property, when chewed, of temporarily neutralizing tbe sense of taste as regards sweet and bitter things.
