ears of the jsded Londoners that the
heavenly art in sll its eiemenrul beauty
had returned to etrtb. Fsr from sneer?

went into raptores ?rver the musical
glasses Olnck. the great composer,
who was In London, did not disdain
to play bis Immortal nlrs upon them
?"The opers flourishes more than In
any recant rear." wrote Horace Wal
pole to s friend "The composer Is
Olnck. s German. He Is to hare a
benefit st which he Is to play a set
of drinking glasses which he moda?

you speak of some such thing."

to It In The Wer uf Wakefleld." Mol
lorn after the Inventor vtsil?d London,
and Benjamin Franklin speaks of him
tn a letter to s friend tivns:
"Ton hsyee doubtless heard the sweet
tone that Is drawn from a drinking
glass by passing s wet finger round its
brim. Ods Mr. Pock rich, a gentleman
from Ireland, was the first who thought
of playing tones formed of such tones
Be collected a number of glasses of
different sizes, fixed them near each
other on s table and tuned them by
putting Into them water, mure or lean
mm each note required. The tonen wem
brought om by passing his frngnrs
round the brim."
There Is s story of Pock rich, who
was making occasional tours to Eng?
land after the Invention of the mnalcal
glasses, that illustrates the surprising
effect of his own performance on thron.
It Is tow? by his friend BrockhiO New
burgh, i gsmtieman of wealth and po?
tation, who lived tn Dublin at the thorn:
"Mr. Pock rich la his brew ery near
iMandbridgs). happening to be one day
esased b# bailiffs, thos addressed them:

"In tb*? meanwhile be flourlsheN a

Anorner minors i instrument that
Pock rich rlrrehtped aa no man had
ever dreamed of before was the drum
He hsd dsea med of harmony even tn

of them, varying In also and tone from

When They Fined the Servants.
There must have uren a servant
problem even In the specious tunes of
Elizabeth. If w? may judge by a list
of rules drawn up by a baronet of that
era for the guidance of his domestic
helpers and recently brought to light
by an English writer. The baronet
evidently liked his house kept in order,
and If It were not mode absolutely
spotless on Friday after dinner every
bod7 responsible had to pay three?
pence. He liked punctuality, and six?
pence was the fine tor meat thar was
not reedy at 11 or before for dinner
and at 6 or before for supper, while
tbe table had to be laid half an hour
before those times, on pain of two
pence, CM the were s penny each, mn!
It was equally expensive to leave a
door open which was found abut,
while to teach any of the cblldren any
"unbonest speech'" was fourpence
The fines were duly paid eavb quarter
day out of the wages, and with tine
vagueness the baronet winds up.
?They shall be bestowed on tbe poor

lint shortly after.
the religious sentiment stirred them to
prepare for offering formal worship to
the God whose favored people they
were delighted again to be.
First the altar was built on the
height of Mount Moriah. supposedly
the very spot where Abraham offered
his son Isaac-the very siR>t which was
made the site of the altar in Solomon's
temple. Divine worship began, awl
the Fenst of Tabernacles was observed
in the seventh month. By the next
spring they felt ready to begin the re
construction of the temple.
The news of the return of the people
and of their start to rebuild the tem?
ple of the Lord spread amongst the
people of the land who. In some re?
spects at least, had been reeognrxed
as Israel's enemies. Now. however,
they desired to join hands and become
participators in the building of the
new tempte.
However, this kind invitation was
refused with the answer. "Ye have
nothing to do with us. to build a
house unto our God: but we, our?
selves, will build it unto the I/ord, the
God of Israel, as king Cyrus, the king
of Persia, hath commanded us."
Wee the Proper Course Taken?
Many have said that the Jews io
this matter showed themselves nar?
row-minded and bigoted; that they
should have been glad to have the as?
sistance and the co-operation of their
neighbors in the building of the hem
pie, and tn all the arrangements ft*
God's worship?they should have hod
the missionary spirit.
Not so, we reply. Their course was
the only proper one when we under?
stand the terms and conditions under
which God was dealing with Israel.
It was not their commission to make
Israelites out of all nations; they, as
one nation, had been elected or select?
ed by God to establish and to offer the
sacrifice* and worship which God hod
ordained through Moses. They were
not at liberty to change or amend the
Divine proposition and to bring others
rnto the "elect" nation. There was
indeed n method1 by which outsiders,
i*n>Israelite*, might become Israelites
?by becoming proselytes of the gate:
but in no other than in such an open,
public renouncement of their wills and
by devotion to Jehovah.
The Jews are still following the Di?
vine umutgernent for them In keeping
aloof from other religions and by re?
fraining from lu
ter-mnrriage with
other' peoples.
God has thus pre?
served that nation
separate from
all others, and
He tells us srn-/r
For tl>ein He has
a great place in
the Divine pro?
gram. They are
again to become
God's people.
God's representa?
tives hi the earth, after the Elect
Church shall have been completed and
glorified cm the heavenly phine.
Spiritual Israefa Policy

OWN YOUR HOME.
Every man should own his home. He makes a better
citizen, respects himself more, and has more of the respect of
his fellow citizens.
You often hear it stated that it is cheaper to rent, but is it?
When you have your own home you save money to help pay
for it that would he otherwis frittered away. At the end of a
few years you own something. WTatch the fellow who rents;
at the end of the same period he generally owns nothing. Fur?
thermore when you have your own home you get the benefllt of
the enhancement In value, you get more satisfaction out of liv?
ing in your own home, you create in your children that lovo and
respect for home that It never posslblein a rented home.
Aren't these things worth while, snen thought It appears at first
