In recognition of the Eyrvll'*>g ren.tiered them, by their guide,' the visitorbanded htm a quarter, with a paTron-Izing "Here, take this, my man."

"My man's" face lit 'up with on oddsmile and there was a queer twinkleIn his eye, but he'pocketed the tip withfhnnire. The lady, however, divinedthat some bidden meaning lay behindthat smile and twinkle.

Koted Humorist Tells

"When I was here about eight yearsago I 'was coming up In a car of theelevated road. Very few people wereIn that, and on one end of it there wasdo one, except on the opposite side,where sat a man about 50 years old,with a most winning face and an ele-

I was, watching theaffection which existed between thosetwo. I Judged he was .the grandfather,perhaps. It was really a pretty child,and I was admiring her, and as soonas he saw I was admiring her he beganto notice me. fa

"I could see his admiration of me In. ails eye, and I did what anybody .elsewould do— admired tho child four timesas much, knowing I would get fourtunes as much of his admiration.Tflhlngs went on very pleasantly. 1was making my way Into his heart.

•"By and by, when he almost reachedtho station where he was to get off, hegot up, crossed over, and he said:••Now, I am going to say something toyou which I hope you will regard aa a•compliment.'

•"And then ho went on to say: 'I haveatever seen Mark TwqlnJ_h"«' T- imv«.eeen a portrait of him, and any friendof mine will tell you when I have onceneon a portrait of a man I place It Inmy oyo and store It away In my mem-ory, and I want to tell you now that youlook enough llko Mark Twain to bo lilnbrother.

I get my Impressions thatway, but I tune with my nervous sys-tem. My assistant strikes the chord.If It Is not true I feel a nervous stressand strain.

Prince Min-Tong-Whan, the new Co-rcon minister to Washington, belongsto the progressive party of bis nativeland and is one of the foremost-andmost influential statesmen In the "Her-mit Kingdom." Prince Min has travel

how the piano strings are tightenedand loosened. But changes In the pitchof pipes queer them. It Isn't strangeeither, for the average organ lias flvokinds of tuning. Of course, tbe pitchdepends on the length of tno pipe. Thepitch may be raised by shortening thepipe or by stopping the open end. Anumber of the wooden pipes arestopped by wooden slides. Handles'are attached and the pipe is toned bymoving the slides up or down. Otherwoods have set In tho top a piece ofmetal which Is rolled or bent over par-tially to stop the pipe.

"Ribbon strips arc cut In the aides ofthe toll metal pipes and rolled down.These break the- column of air and acttho same as cutting off tho top of thopipe. Another kind of pipes, the reeds,are on a different principle. The lengthof the reed controls tho pitch. A wireprcRSCs tightly against tho reed and lamoved to iRng'Mfn f>r «h"rtl>n fhn cl
