Oh, no; but they never have a serious
difference. They may err In Judgment,
but It Is a sort of erring and always
because of tho tenderness of heart,
which seems to bo an undisputed pos
session of each, and always tho work
which they do In these blessed "Ir"
tegular meetings Is the work which
surely the dear Lord loves If he pits nt
tho gato of Paradise and looks down
upon tho sorrow and misery of this
earth.
Parliamentary tactics arc not likely
to ever disassociate from women tho
small vagaries that somehow mnke
her goodly In the sight of man und
glvo her a charming distinction In her
way of doing things. She will prob
ably continue to be as easily inverted

In the rules she Is supposed to follow
In tho various meetings she attendu
as she Is when she tries to talk poll
tics and suddenly finds herself discus
sing tho sort of a hat worn woin by
nn acquaintance at a recent tea. The
fact wus Illustrated tho other day nt
a meeting where the "madame presi
dent" was n graceful, dainty lad,
who patted the table with a pretty
llttlo gavel with less flourishes than
the chairman of select council, but with
every bit ns much effect. She was very
dignified and correct In her ofllcial pos
ition and all the others present front
ed her wlMi the elaborate detailed de
ference customary at an oriental court.
Suddenly a tin white robed iy iro
glided Into the room nnd stood by the
chairwoman's desk. Nobody looked at
the president after that. The small
fingers hastened to clutch tho gavel
dropped by the hand which recognized
a sovereign of mightier sway, nnd as
nil the women, old nnd young, bent
townid tho baby, the shilll llttlo
voice piped out "V, here's e bill,
I want to p'ay croquet." "The
dear blopsed darling!" or home
thing to tne came eftjet mur
mured every voice present. "Did 'oo
think It was a croquet mallet?" they
continued In most unparliamentary
language and with a sublime dlsregnid
for order. After all, dear ns may be
the gavel of office to woman, proud ns
she may be of her abllltv to sway the
trusses to control by her Intellectual
and moral force; after all th baby.the
darling of the world, will be the real
power, the real master of the situation.
It Is difficult even for women of
advanced years, to break away from
the conventional notions of the agt.
The acme of bliss to a mm Is a ban

.C tory of Music anil organist of i:im Park church, Iiiih consented to re.
rs I'ly In tb" Saturday lrlbi no to questions conco-nlng mutlo nnd musl-
. cnl topics nsked by Tr.buuo mailers, l.vory reader Intcrefted in music
rS Is nt liberty to nsk for Information. Questions may m addressed to
,s "Musical questlonHnx. care nf Tribune." nr thev may bo nddrersct
fS to Professor Pennington. Only tho writers' Initials will nrpear In
a nmnettlim with the answers to their questions, They may sign flctl-
S tlous Initials if they dcslro io remiUn ontltcly unknown.
Inquirer Pleaso recommend some
hooks which will aid mo in getting a
better understanding of music es
pecially of classical music.
Answer I would recommend the fol
lowing excellent works: "Muslo ns a
Language." by A. J. Goodrich; "Music
and Moials," by II. It. Hawels; "How
to Listen to Music," by II. E. KrehblH;
"How to Understand Music," by W. S.
B. Matthews; "Music In Its Relation to
tho Intellect and the Emotions," by
John Stniner; "The Elements of tho
Benutlful in Music." by E. Pauer;
"Aesthetics of Musical Art." by F.
Hand. A better understanding of tho
various musical forms used In musical
composition nny be obtained from the
following works: "Musical Forms," by
E. Pauer; "Beethoven's Sonatas Ex
plained," by Elterleln; "Beethoven's
Symphonies Explained," by the same
author. "The Standard Operas," "The
Stnndnrd Oratorios," "The Standard
Symphonies," by G. P. Upton, nro very
vulualilc works. I would also recom
mend ou to rend tho lives of the com-
IKisers. All of the above books may be
obtained of Charles Scrlbner's Sons,
Fifth avenue, New York. This cele
brated publishing house Issues a special
cntnlogue of books on muslo which you
would do well to obtain. A perusal of
It will suggest other Interesting nnd
helpful books The public llbiaiy ct
this city contains a good many fine
works on music, and the number will
doubtless be lnci eased from year to
year.

A. L. W How much dors the grent
French oiganlst, AIenndri, Gullmani,
receive for his lessons.'
Answ er Monsieur Gullmant teaches
both In the great Paris Conservatory
and privately. The Conservatory Is
under the auspices of tho government
and Instruction Is free of charge. M.
Gullmant's private pupils (no student
is received into the Conservatoire who
Is over sixteen years of ng) pay him
at tho rate of twenty francs ($4) per
le-Fson. In addition they must pay one
fiune to the oigan blower.

II. T. Why aie the woids Indicating
iho laplillty of movement, tne gpre-
slon, etc., in music uluu.vj given hi
lha Italian 1 inguas,e.'
Answer. Tho musical compositions
of all the leading composes, lu-cspeet-lve
of nationality, aio sung and plued
the world over. Suppose then, that an
Englishman, a German, a Fienchmm,
a Russian, a Swede, a Gm-k, etc,
should p.iHi employ thioughout hlJ
composition terms with reference to
the proper Intel (notation ot the sumo
taken Horn uis own language. It Is
evident that they would be genoral'y I

how iv ei. sonic one language li deeld- I
ed on as a universei largingo in mu
sic, the musicians of all countiles inn
readily letin the inuslc.il tims of that
particular language from a pocket dlc
tlouaiy, and the difficulty Is solved.
This has already been dune. The unl

tho terms used In music should lli3t

Answer. In eveiv pipe organ theie
aio two kinds ef pipes, nainelv, "iue
pipes" und "reed pipes." The flu-
pipes nip very largely in the niajoilty
and, fiom their construction, laiely
need tuning. They should be thorough
ly gone over about once In two yeais.
The iced pipes, on tho contrary. ie
eiulre very iicquent tuning. In a reed
pipe the body of the pipe Itselt has,
uuliko that of the flue pipe, nothing
to elo In the fmmatton of the tone.
Its duty being too eiuallfy the tone af
ter It Is made. Tho actual tone pro
duce! Is a thin strip of brass nlaced
In the pipe at the Junction of tho
"bod" and "foot." The air tioin the
bellows strikes ngalnst tho reed, which
Is known as a "sti iking reed," nnd sets
it to v limiting against the metal Bin -fac
e. Tho pitch of the tone depends
upon the amount of the iced which
Is nllowcd to vibrate and this Is con

slder the ef-.octi of heat and cold
upon these pipes, both flue and reed.
At the sotting up of the Instrument
by the builders, tho pipes were tuned
to what Is known ns "International
pitch," with the thennometer standing
at about 70 degrees, and the organ Is
never at international. pitch when the
thermometer Indicates nnv vat lo
tion f i oni "P degrees. When tho
temperatlJro Is greater than "0 degtees,
all the pipes nro lower In pitch"
when less than seventy degrees they
nro higher In pitch, the amount ot
their lisc nnd fall In pitch depending
upon the gi eater or less variation In
temperature. The flue pipes rise and
fall uniformly in pitch and hence aro
always In tuno with themselves. This
Is not true, however, with the reed
plpe, and here is wheio the tiouble
coines. The reed pipes do not rise or
fall to the same extent that the Hue
pipes do, nor aro all the iced stoos;
of an organ affected equally by heat
or cold, which cnuscs unothor discrep
ancy in pitch. The pipes of the "vo c
humanii," for example, ate only slight
ly nftected by tho changed . f temt -eratuie,
which materially affects all
the rest of the pipes It will icadllv
be feeti that tho Keeping of the flue
nnd reed pipes to the same pitch de
pends upon two things: either the tem
peratuie of the church must be very
neat ly the same every time the oigan
Is used, or oveiy reed pipe In the oigan
must be tuned eveiy time there Is a
change in tho temporuture. To this
there Is no alternative. If neither of
these conditions Is met, either the oars
of the congregation will bo assailed
with discordant harmonies, or tho oi
gnnlst must refrain altogether from
using the reed stops. Duili.g thnt pan
of the ear when the church Is heated
artificially, caie on the part of the jani
tor will ensure the piuper temperatuie
at the public sei vices. It Is unfortu
nate, however, that so many churches
have no heat In them except on Sun
days or when they nre about to be
used. This subjects the organ to the
highest extremes In temperatuie', and
this of Itself Is tnjiiilous to the lnstiu
inent. In the summer time there Is no
way of regulating the tenipeiature Olio
Sunday the theimometer legistois "0
elegiees in the shade, the next will be
a cold, wet day. with a dlfeience of
tempeiatuie of, ppilmps, ', degiees,
Indeed such eMiemes have been known
In oecui the same day Even .vlth le-s
itidlral chances of tempt ratine Unit
Is only one thing to do: the leeds must
be tuned. With regal d to the iecds In
the Elm Park chtiich oigan, I ti'u
them mjsclf. The. ability to tiii" the
reeds of his organ should be acquired
b eieiy male oig.inin (a lady's sklits
are an obstacle to her tui.lng). The
leeel stons in the Elm P.uk organ uie
five In nunibci (oi one-s vinlh ot the
entile number of stops), each having
sixty-one pipes In all, "05 pipes. These
leeds .lie tuned Just boloie cveiy or
gan conceit, the tuning requlilng fiom
one and a half to two houis. I am no
less pat titular abeuit the tune of the
Instrument at tho Sunday senleos. and
have not infiequently tuneel the leeds
on Sunday when the weathci has made
a sudden change It Is evident fiom
what I have said that no ot gnu, wluthti
