Atlanta Constitution: If, as seems to be the case, some of the independent republican papers are hanging on to President Cleveland merely by the skin of their teeth they may as well let go. They will either have to indorse Mr. Cleveland's part* or go back to their own.

Rochester Herald: Higgins, the new appointment clerk chosen by Secretary Manning, is about the shakiest character ever brought prominently before ithe country in such a way.

To the Editor of the Express. SIB: I was surprised to see so many solutions in Sunday's edition to a problem that cannot be worked. If A pays $1.25 per acre and spends only $50 he cannot possibly buy more or less than 60 acre* as a simple divison will show. And if pays 75 c«n»« only $50 he can ™°renor acres. Altogether the two would buy 106% acres. The problem as stated does not admit of a solution. The falsity of the solution given 1 can be easily shown as follows: If A pays $1.25 per acre and buys 87}^ acres (as stated In these so-called solutions) he will invest 1ust$46.87£ instead of $50 as the problem states, and B's 62£ acres at 75 cents per acre will amount to the same. Therefore the two pay $98.75 as stated in the problem. Now where, is your solution. It does not look quite so easy as seeing stare in a skating rink. There is one condition too many for the problem to admit of solution. Leave out the $100 conation or the 100 acres condition and the problem will be easy indsed.

by ing powders have sought to predjudice consumers against the use of other brands that have au established reputation as the best and purest in the market, for the purpose of introducing their own. Their method, we are informed, is to heat a can of baking poyder of a well-known br uid over a lamp or stove, when, if there is a gas given offhaving the odor of ammonia the powder is condemned as being made, of ammonia and unfit for use. The prejudice of the unsuspecting are thus ex cited against the baking powder submit ted to the so called test, and the grocer who has a quantities of it on hand suffers a serious loss iu consequence.

If the intelligent consumer will stop a moment to think, she will readily pcrceive that this "test," if successful, proves nothing but the superiority of the baking powder tested. The aim of all baking powder makers is to produce an article that shall most readily, under use, give off its leavening gas. The powder that does this with a moderate heat, at the same time evolving the largest quantity, is scientifically the best.

There is probably not an article pre pared for food thatcannot be manipulated to prove that something is wrong about it and when a person goes into a kitchen or before a housekeeper who is not to be persumed to understand chemical relations and performs an experiment of even the simplest character, it is not difficult to impress one that something awful is the matter. As to baking powders, we could suggest a dozen tests that would be as ridiculous in giving a fair idea of their relative merits to an uninstructed mind as the one here mentioned.

The true domestic value cf a baking powder consists in its purity, wholesomeness and leavening power. It is only the chemist, with his chemical appliances, who can determine these qualities, scientifically and exactly. Aside from this, the best test for a baking powder is to try it in making bread, and see which makes the most ana the best. To this practical test all the established brands have been put, and housekeepers have very generally made up their minds which they prefer, and the tricksters "will find ultimately that a brand that has been a household favorite for years will not be displaced by reason of any tricks which they may show.

Music is the oldest of the arts. There are savage tribes and nations still living on the earth among whom scarcely a trace of anything deserving the name of architecture, sculpture or painting is found but never a race of men has been discovered among whom the art of music was not more or less practised and cultivated. The storytellers of architecture, sculpture and painting devote a chapter to what they call prehistoric art, whrse representative examples are however of comparatively modern date and only in the quality of their foimi carry us back to the primitive conditions of man.

But music is really the one prehistoric art which antedates all others, havinj come to birth when the race first startei on the path of existence.

As regards the imitative arts of sculpture" and painting, we know that they were strictly forbidden bv the Mosaic code, and this accounts for the fact that among til the people of the ancient Orient the Hebrew jeople had nothing to show in the domain of the formative arts except architecture.

But the earliest records of the Jews in the books of Moses are full of allusions to music, both vocal and instrumental and away down through the periods of the judges, the kings and the captivity sacred music enters as a large factor into the religion, aye likewise and into the politics of the Hebrew people, and history and psalmody alike are full of it.

It is an interesting fact, which history fu ly authenticates, that the earliest known attempts in the three arts of architecture, sculpture and painting had their origin in some form of religious sentiment. In fact, from the age of the pyramids down to the seventeenth century of 07 art in those three departments was taken up with tbe expression of religions faith. This fact woula seem to indicate that iastincts and sentiments "the human soul, which have chiefly to do with religion deserve 6srious consideration as interpreters of the organic demands of human nature. It gives UB indication amounting to assurance that all possible criticism of and onslaught npsn tbe special forms in which religious sentiment has manifested itself, will not succeed in exterminating religion in some form from the soul ana from the world.

those of

That which is true in regard to the

three arts iust specified is true likewise of music, and there is 110 reason at all to doubt that sacred music—by which I mean musical sounds, whether vocal or instrumental, designed to express the religious sentiments, is the oldest in the history of man. The first song that woke the silence of a primeval forest was a religious song, and the first rude instruments that man devised for musical expression, whether they were stringed instruments, wind instruments or instruments of percussion, wen designed to imiiate the unconscious voices of nature, the roar ef the osean, the sighing of the

Of the decree

contemporaries, ut the degree in the construction of musical instruments, which people had acquired anterior to the christian era, we have abundant witness in the delineations of ancient art, for example, in the mural paintings of ancient Egypt, a remarkable example of which is in the British museum, and in the Panathonaic frieze of the Parthenon at Athens many tablets of which are likewise in the British museum. Those representations clearly demonstrate that the musical instruments of antiquity, including the Hebrew nation, were of the most rudimentary character as compared with thofie of modern times.

The same inference may be drawn regarding the musical instruments ot tbe apostolic church (if any existed) from tbe contemporary wall-paintingB of Herculaneum and Pompeii.

Honestly speaking then, from our point of view, we should think that a choir of singers and orchestral performers got together out of the materials hinted at or explicitly mentioned in the text, would appeal to be a rather puerile congregation to Beethoven or Mendelssohn. If King David led his own choir I doubt not he could handle the scepter far better than he could the baton. In fact I am not sure that there was much use for a baton at all in an age when musical measure as we understand it was scarcely dreamed of.

The instrument which we call the organ is the most successful mechanism ever devised by the mind of man for concentrating under a single mechanical force and a single human will all the elements of a complete orchestra. This fact, united to the stalely march of its tones and cadences, sets it apart from all the musical devices of man as the fittest ot all instruments for the purposes of religious worship and the interpretation to the ear, through melody and harmony, of the vast literature of devotion and faith.

Almost all musical instruments which are familiar to us are developments from a rudimentary germ which existed in the earliest ages of numan history. This is, however, true in a super eminent degree of the organ, which seen in its eminent examples, for instance in the great instrument in Music hall in Boston, which has four manuals, eighty-nine stops and 4,000 pipes, resembles a little city tracing back its source to a single family. So I go back to Moses or even 1,500 years after him to the christian church of the apostolic age, and I find a nucleus-orara, that a little family settlement 01 half a dozen members, and descending down the trade, ol the centuries even to the modest achievement which we have before us, we find our little family of six or seven (for this was the number of pipes in a primitive organ) grown to a community of 1,606, a miniature city in fact, in which some great pedal with thundering throat may stand for mayor, the next pedals in rank for the common council and all the jipes the citizens of various degree, from 'adnlt men in the biss notes, and adult women ia the soprano, to squeaking

little infants in the nuraeiy department whose diminutive throats ol lead or zinc, in a summer landscape painted for the ear, try to deceive us with the songs of birds on the tree boughs.

Starting from the surprising achivements in the construction of this instrument, or rather this city full of instruments, and going back through the intervening ages to the pani pipe of the Grecian. myth, the *yrinx of the Goo4 Shepherd in the pic torial B&e ofthe oatvxuat*, which was beyoftd question the rudimentary

Vts good music and was well. And n»w no thought of yjur life, what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, or wherewithal ye shall be clothed. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righieousness." Tiat is to say, seek to make the spiritual, interior life of superior quality For i*s the case, whether cherry or rosewood, is not the organ, so the body, whether comely or unhandsome, is not the man.

Finally, learn from the organ how to prove and make manifest the highest possibilities of your natjire. ay after day I watched the organ from the laying of the first plank on the platform until it stood like a gothic cathedral with its beautiful facade, the admiration of all eyes. This, however, was only the shell after all, and a thousand and a half pipes lay scattered over these pews waiting to be set in their appointed places. This done, then came the most delicate task of all—the tuning during which the doors were locked and silence held sway in these walls, which made me think of the still hour of secret prayer and meditation when the soul is tuned to make melody unto God. 'All this done, the building of the shell, the setting of the pipes and the tuning of them, then came the question to everybody's thought as to the musical possibilities which were imprisoned in this wilderness of pipes and stops. Who could tell this secret to us None but an expert of great skill who, besides knowing now to manipulate the key-board and the stops, knew moreover the details of the vast mechanism so well that he could make an organ himself if he so elected. To such an one you committed the- i:i°k of uncovering the wealth of power and resource which was buried in the labyrinth of pipes, and you know how grand was the revelation in the vast and voluminous wealth of melody and harmony which poured forth from its thousand throats.

So when I contemplate its stupendous mechanism of a human soul I ask mysell who shall tune it to divine harmonies? and who shall bring these harmonies forth and prove its wealth of faculty? Only He who could create a soul can tune it and the same Divine hand which beckoned my life into being can alone sweep its key-board and evoke responsive as criptions of love and obedience which shall be worthy of itself and of its An thor. ..

Large Attendance Ht the Chnrehes Sunday—The Preachers and Their Subjects.

Father Elliott began a mission at St Joseph's Sunday, preaching morning and evening. The mission will continue several weeks. .Father Elliott will be assisted by Father Bjan, who is also an able speaker. A great awakening is expected in Catholic circles.

The Christian church was crowded in the evening to hear the Kev. H. O. Breeden preach on "Two Scenes in the Life of Christ—In the Mount and in the Valley."

The attendance at the Baptist church Sunday evening was very large. After services there were several converts immersed.

Dr. H. A. Gobin, of DePauw, preached to a large audience at Asbuiy. Every seat was occupied.

Professor Bassett, of DePauw, filled the pulpit at Centenary Sunday. The Bev. Samuel Beck will probably he home next Sabbath.

He can not disappoiut an audience. The inexorable demands which an actoi life imposes were never better- or more painfully exemplified than at last night» performance of Monte Cristo. The vast audience did not know that James

It did not know that at that moment his little chi'd lay dead in far distant New York, and that the agonized mother had jast taken a teariui farewell of him to attend the burial ot the little one. It laughed and clapped its hands, and gave no thought but to the actor's genius, and dreamed not o. the inward weeping that was drowning his heart

At at party last week he said he supposed that those who knew his daughters when they lived there "expected him to bring them to Washington again preside over the tea things at the^ parents' receptions, but that they w-re all married now and their time and attentions were occupied with teethings instead of tea things."

Dandruff is dirty and disa^reeaoie in every way. It soils the clothing continually, and is accompanied by a hardly less annoying sensation of itching. The scalp is diseased. There is nothing in the world so thoroughly adapted to this trouble as Parker's Hair Balsam. It cleanses and heals the scalp, stops the falling hair and restores its original soft ness, gloss and color. Is not oily, highly perfumed, an elegant dressing. Very economical, as only a small occasional application keeps the hair in perfect cOn-* dition.
