HER POINT OF VIEW. For pity's sake don't fall Into the wt etched habit of complaining about eveiythlng and finding Haws In every body. It's the most contagious and also tho most Ineradicable habit In the world onco It Is acquired, with the possible exception of sweating, which, of course, no nice women und few nls men nio In danger of contracting What If It did rain yesteidav mid you felt disreputable and tiled of life as you wont out and got your hkirts wet, was it making niuttets any better to -clew up your face In a painful fotin and say to everyone you met. "Perfect ly horild. Isn't it?" Did It nuke you fool any better to eo nnothci pel sun's blow w i Inkle ns she exclaimed in a disgusted tone "Yes, t,uch weather And after nil these nice days, too'" Just as If the memoiy of these exqui site October days could be enthely clouded by one when the skies wept. Of com so, it isn't nice to be a woman on a rainy day. A mackintosh Is a "loppy, unsatisfactory cioatlon, and silent skirts aie not all that could bo desired unless a laige number of tho lepiosentutlves of femininity could be iuiiiIo over along moto svmmetrlcul lines. But then some "days must be daik and dreary" and yet there wns never a day so dark with lain but that a Hinlle could make it bright. Theie aro so many rent woes In the woild, so many days made bitter and dnrk with sonow that one can well afford to smllo at all tho world where only the rain of October hides tho sun. Rut all this Isn't at all what I start ed out to sav. Think of it! I just caught myself lemniklng In a real catty, horrid way: "Yes, she Is a love ly woman, but did you notice how her skirt hung in tho back?" Now, listen to thnt, will you? I'm suio I don't know where I've learned such a soutcd, narrow and moan little trick of spenk Ing of people. It Isn't at all according to my philosophy, and I ought to choko on tho very next sentiment of the kind I utter. There was no necessity for mo to drag that lll-hnnging skirt into the conversation, oven If she did drag it into chinch Why on earth can't we be satisfied to let people find out tho defects of othcis for themselves" Now. the woman to whom the nbove pleasant little speech was made, thus encouraged, replied: "Yes, doesn't she manage to get the most triangular hang to her dresses. Somebody ought to tell hetVAnd then, naturally enough, we fell to discussing our Ictim's pec ullai l tles of attire, the way she biings up her children and tho fact that her hus band Is aging extremely. All of which wns the outgiowth of the lll-natuted comment first chionicled. Wo some times scoff at the perron whose "peese nro nil swans" and who seems to look at life through rose-colored spectacles, but she certainly is not the means of producing a long train of conversation al st lbs of tho absent. Why should some of us feel possessed to modify ovety pleas ant thing said about peoplo by a stinging rule criticism? There Is the woman who declaies: "Oh, yes; I dare say she Is a very nice person, but she docs have such a time with her help." Or "He's pleasant enough to meet, but I don't believe he Is ngree ablo at home;" or "Did you see Mrs. B.'s hat in church? That woman spoils the effect of the sermon for me when ever she gets In lino between our pew and the pulpit " Another remarks: "Dear me, If only that man wouldn't go to prayer meeting I could enjoy the service, but I can't endure him in the same room!" or "I'd rather go a block faither than meet Mrs A She is so afeeted in her speech," and thus the habit fastens Itself on one until un consciously, without any leal motive of vindlctlveness or malice, a poison may become so accustomed to carping and criticising others that the fault find ing splilt begins to trace lines on the face and sooner or later the bitterness crawls Into he soul to stay, and finally the result Is a sharp tongued old womun always looking out for weaknesses in others and always re garded as a sort of terror by even her few friends. It Isn't a pleasant pic tine. Let us catch the sarcastic wotel before It passes the lips, let us curb the deslio to be considered amusing be cause we can sny hateful things clever ly that can cause a tipple of metil ment at the expense of some absent one. Let us not see bo many fallings In others and then we shall surely not utter unkind ciltlclsms. Let us be a little more gentle In our judgment nnd a deal more tender in speech We need all the rubber-tired consideration of others that they can nfford to tiun dle out for our benefit. Saucy Bess.

They may algn llctl- v5 tlous Initials If they desire to remain entirely unknown I'rosto-What is a Harmonium? Answer A Harmonium Is un Instru ment which In Europe takes the place of tho reed organ common to tho homes of this country. The reeds of the har monium are not so thin an those of our reed organs, nnd are, In consequence, not so prompt of speech. Another im portant difference Is that In tho har monium the wind Is forced thtougti tho toeds; In the cabinet organ nir Is sucked tluough the .eed into tho bellows, hence the decided dlffeience In tile eiunllty of tone produced. The tone of the hnrmonlum is louder, more stri dent and eatrying, whllu that of tho cabinet organ Is more melodious and sweet. The American reed organ Is very popular in England, whole It Is known ns the "American organ" In con tra distinction to the hatmonlum. Our Ameilcan reed organ manufacturers have not been slow to take advantage of the English liking for their Instru ments by establishing agencies nil over the kingdom, consequently almost ovety "music-shop" in England announces Its ability to supply you with "the latest Improved Ameilcan organ." I forgot to mention another dlffeience between the hnimonlum and reed oig.iu, and that Is tho compass. The usual reed oigan has a compass of live octaves. the hatmonlum has the same, but the lowest key of the former is F, that of the latter is C; consequently tho up- watd compass Is greater In the har monium, and tho lower compass Is gi eater in the iced organ. This dis crepancy is most unfottunate. Many benutiful oilglnal compositions have been wiltten for the harmonium, also many aiiangements have been made from the classics for that Instrument, but as they almost Invariably requite keys beyond tho compass of the teed oigan they ennnot be used on that In strument unless it has the unusual six octave compass This matter of com pass hns been freely discussed in tho English musical Jouinnls, but thus far tho Ameilcan manufacturers have pretty generally clung to the old com pass, declaring at the same time that it Is the most practical. If I were pui chaslng a reed organ for my own usq I woulcl lequlro one of six octave com pass or. If It had a regular pipe oigan pedal board, one of the pipe organ or hnimonlum compass. o M L Will ycu please give the gen ealogy of the celebrated Strauss tam Ily, noted for tho compositions of waltzes? Who was the original Strauss, when was he born, and how mnnv sous bad he who woro waltz composers' Also plcate state whether the present Richard Strauss, com poser and orchestra leader Is of the waltz fnmllv or not. Answer. Johnnn 'Uiauss, the elder, wns born In ISOi at Vienna. In 1SK. he established an orchestra of hU own, with which he nnde extensive touis, everywhere me'etlng with Im mense success. Later ho was made conductor of tho Court Balls of Vienna, where he died In 1849. He wrote 219 woiks, most of them being dances, lohann Strauss, the younger, son of he precedlni,, was born In ls23 at Vienna. Up composed much fascinat ing dance music over COO works, It Is said ,T seph Strauss, bom In 1827, and Eduirel Stnuss, 1S33, tho younger biotheis of the foregoing, like him. Inhcilt(i th" gift of composing nnd e onductlng dance music. Jospp'i Stiauss died in 1S70. The present Rich ard Strauss, whose compositions for oichestra have called forth so much comment is not, I believe, one of the famous Strauss family. I had tho pilv liege of seeing him conduct sono of Ills compositions In the Philhar monic at Betlln in 1S31. His composi tions are wl.it is teimod "proirnm muslc". that Is, although Instrumen tal wotks they weie composed to suit tho subjects of great diimntlo works or ooems, hence endeavor to portray scene without the aid of v.ouls. o T. How is tho most successful mule party of tho world mimged.' Who Is the conductor? How would a male party in Scranton ho most success fully managed in order to Insure its permanency ' Answer. Tho most successful male chorus, so far as I am acquainted, Is the Mendelssohn Glee club, of New York. The conductor is Mr. Edwatd McDowell, the? well known composer. Another splenetic! male chorus is the Apollo club of Boston, Mi B. .1. Lang, conductor. As to how a male chorus could be best managed In Scranton I can not say. What works in one plnce may not work in nnother. The Apollo club of Boston, is managed, or used to be ns follows- The club Is composed of active and honorary members. Tho honoraiy members pay ten dollars .1 yeai, the active members pay five dol lais. The active membeis sing nnd nio admitted to the club only nfter examination as to their ability. Thu concerts of tho club aro given by sub sciiptlon only. Active and honoraiy membeis aie entitled to four tickets to each conceit, to bell or give away as they see fit. Persons who subscribe for the conceits pay a ceitain sum and receive a certain number of tickets fur each concert of the entire season Tho money iccelved from the subset iptlons and tho members is nil puld out In the general expenses and in ptovlding for the orchestra and soloists. It is a rule of the society that no nionev shall be left over. Tho moie money iccelved the more money expended In becurlng a higher grade of soloists. The rehenrsals are held In a laige room over Chlckeilng hall. o A. T. Is "Allegretto" slov.er or faster than "AlleB'o" .' Answer. "Allegietto" Is the diminu tive of "Allegto" and Is consequently slow er Pastor What Is your Ideol of a church choir." Do you prefer a quai tette tholr to a chorus choir? Answer. My Ideal of a church choir is a combination of a quartette nnd chorus, every member of which Is paid. This last Item Insuics good voices, good readeis nnd prompt attendance. It was my good foituno to have such u choir when organist of a chinch in Boston The quai tette portion con sisted of some of tho lending soloists of tho city, and tho members of the chorus were nlso chosen for their abil ity nfter a enreful examination, and weie paid uccoidlngly. The entire ex pense wns met by one man who has done more to promote fine chinch mu sic In Boston that' any other mun or combination of men. For the morn ing seivlee the eiuai tette choir (seated back of the pulpit), sang nil the un thems, the members of the chorus choir being scattered over tho eon giegatlon eacli occupying a designat ed place lu order to Inspiie the mem bers or the congregation In tho hymns, in the evening .set vice tho choitis choir occupied apottlon of the galleiy, some times nt the extreme end of tho church opposite to the quartc tto choir, some times divided, luilf being seated in the gallon- on one side or the chinch, the other half on the- opposite Fide. Some times the men weie all seated togeth er In one pnit of the chutch for mile chotu.s woik the women In nnother part for female c hoi us work. Some of the best Aireilcan composer? were en gaged to wtite special music to be sung nutlplioiially l,v tho quartette and the ellffeient pen tlons of the? ennrus choir. There was never nny e.uestlon as to whether a piece was too diflleult for the c holt There was no nnxletv as to whelhoi lnlf ol the choir would be absent on one piett or nnother. That wa un Ideal chinch choir. St. Baitholomew's hutch, Now York (t'rotostn it Episcopal), Is noted for having the finest music of any church In tho elly. The choir consists of a quartette mid lirge paid chorus (vest ed men nnd women) occupying the usual place In tho chancel. MUSICAL GOSSIP. Mr John T.

Although tho financial successes have not always been even enough to pay expenses, the artistic successes have been greater year bv year, and the last concert given by the orchestra was by far the best that this most de seivlng society has ever given us. The large number of young lady violinists in this city whose talent cannot be denied, have at last been recognized by the Symphony orchestra boys, and nw tho ranks of the string section of the oiehestra Is being increased, quite a number of young ladies have al r"Hly been admitted to the society.
