ON RISING TO MUSIC. The story was circulated some time ago that Mr. Carnegie rises daily to the music of a pipe-organ, The steel master has a magnificent instrument of almost cathedral calibre installed in his mansion. To be convoved from out the shoreless sea of night to our morning moorings by texder,and gracious melodies is surely rare good fortune, Many of us are pulled up to consciousness each morning by the rattle of the milk-wagon, or the pissing of Farmer Cornstalk with a load of hay. Others are staked out near the suburban trolley-line, and are jerked into consciousness each day by its buzz and spit and grind. Still others live near a rolling-mill and know the joy of being swatted out of slumber by the fall of eighteen trip-hammers, We know a man who lives near a brick-yard. The engine exhaust resembles a consumptive's cough. At four o'clock every morning the hectic efiort begins. Every expulsory spasm is a sort of fugue movement of three varia- tions—first, a sort of andante cantabile euling in 'a sharp whoof; then comes the main theme, which might be termed accelerando rag-time ; this ends in what you might call a grand chorus by the whole band, followed by a long-drawn- out sigh, as if the patient had but one | minute more to live. To rise each morn- ing to the music of this brick-yard swan song, our friend says, means just two years from the laugh-house—which, being interpreted, means the insane-asylum. MORNING-STAR ANTHEMS. To be able to control, even to prescribe, the precise noises by which we shall arrive at wakefulness is of itself a mighty blessing. In the dawn of creation we are told that the morning stars sang together. What a pity it is that all that fine music should have gone to waste on the desert air, What a greater pity it is that now, unnumbered millions of hard- working folks, who were perhaps up late last night, are obliged, since the morning- star anthem has ceased, to be chugged or tooted out of bed by passing autos. We congratulate Mr. Andrew Carnegie on his good sense, He retires at night | us. with the happy consciousness that if he wakes it will be not to the gride and groan | and clank of the *L" cars, but to the| softly-meiting strains of Infants so gen-| tle,” or, Lo, how a rose e’er bloom- | ing!" “This makes waking a joy. If all men could he rousted out in the morning by such means there would be less grumpiness through the day. We con- For Dandruff and Baldness.

Most men set an alarm-clock, which has the pestilent habit of scaring a fellow out of his wits atsixa,m, A man suddenly roused to a panic by this little thrash-machine of noise will throw it out of the window and hit the milk- man, and have a damage suit on his hands, and no end eft rouble. This mat- utinal violence and bitterness would be no more if we could gently float up on the sunny banks of morning to the musi of the little pipe-organ in the hall. MUSIC AS A HEALER. We remember falling ill while sojourn- ing in a strange town a few years ago. We have an unfortunate habit of being sick unto death if we are sick at all. There is no middle ground. We either feel as fine as silk or we see the sunset and evening star and begin to quote Tennyson. “At the time we speak of we were sick and we knew the end was! near, For two days we suffered, while strange folks trotted around the room and worried us with their efforts to save ‘Then came a wonderful afternoon, when our eyes opened and we became dimly aware of music. As we listened it grew plainer, and then filled the room. and we found ourself in a mood of utter ravishment, It came from we knew not where, but by and by we got the notion that it was the celestial band operating for our benefit. Soon we began to feel as if we would like to live for endless years. Then there stole upon us a fecl- ng of hunger, and for one guilty second it Aashed through our mind that beer would taste good. Our next motion was a resolve to get up. Through an open window we saw where the music came from—a trim cottage on the next lawn, And then, in the foolishness of our recov- ered state, we jumped at the conclusion that the organist was a beautiful young woman, We could fairly see her hands ra up and down the ivory keys. Then and there we resolved that before leaving the neighborhood we would see the person who had given us such a lift of music. We have a theory that one can figure out the performer just from the sound of the instrument. Our con- TRANSFORMATIONS. CURIOUS RESULTS WHEN CoFF ING IS ABANDONED. It is almost as hard tor an old coffee toper to quit the use of coffee as it is for a whiskey or tobacco fiend to break off, except that the coffee user can quit coffee and take up Postum Food Coffee without ny feeling of a loss of the morning bev- erage, for when Postum is well boiled and served with cream, it is really better in point of flavor than most of the coffee serve nowadays, and to the taste of the connoisseur it is like the flavor of fine Java, A great transformation takes place in the body within ten days or two weeks after coffee is left off and Postum Food Coffee used, for the reason that the poison to the nerves has been discontinued and in its place is taken a liquid that contains the most poweriul elements of nourish- ment. It is easy to make this test and prove these statements hy changing from coffee | to Postum Food Coffee. DRINK- « There's a reason.” clusion that the performer was a young lady was the result of reasoning of this kind, ‘The next day, as we left the house, we heard that music again, A quick glance showed us that the cottage door was open, We could see obliquely into the parlor. Our wish was to be grati- fied. Now we shall get a glimpse of our beautiful young-lady organist, we said. We did, ‘Sitting before the instrument, a crutch leaning by the chair, we saw an elderly invalid, apparently a retired hod- carrier, industriously pumping away at one of these newfangled machine things that bring music within the reach of all. We felt like throwing a brick at him. ‘An ounce of sherry and a tabiespoonful of Abbott's Angostura Bitters before meals is a wonderful appetizer. PREPARATION.

Malt Gives Beer High Nutrition Eight-Day Malt, Exclusive Product of an American Brewery, Makes the Richest Beer. Malt is the life of beer. Our readers understand, of course, that in brewing beer the first thing to do is make the malt from which to make the beer. The richer the malt the more nutritious, the more wholesome, the beer. Pabst learned years ago that the forced method of mak- ing malt in three or four days could not possibly be accomplished without losing in large degree the life-giving, strength: giving elements of the barley. Most breweries use this old process, It is quicker, easier and less expensive. The Pabst way gives the full richness of the grain to the beer. It doubles the expense of brewing, but it makes Pabst Beer the leader of all beers. Pabst Beer is the richest beer in actual food value and strength - building ele- ments because it is made only with Pabst eight-day malt, Careful test, practical experience in. bre’ always with an eye single to the very best product possi- ble, has taught Pabst that malt made of grain grown in this country must have eight days in which to properly mature. Malt perfect in nutritious elements can only be made by following the process of Nature without crowding, and that is what Pabst does. He makes his own malt by an exclusive eight-day process, double the time and double the expense of the common four-day method. This Pabst process gets all the good out of the barley and into the malt. No other process does. Pabst eight-day malt, made from finest barley, grows as naturally as it would if put in the ground, moistened by the rain and warmed by the sun, Nature abhors waste, and in the eight-day process there is no forced unnatural growth that wastes food elements of the grain, The result is a beer that has the greatest food value, the greatest tonic value, yet is mild and pleasant, superior in taste and flavor, Hotel Man ts known »; Ale he serves, It shows his ene proved to be the mm for the lastin rosperity of man jeepers and restanri The Ale of merit K REASONS: ONE—Every cigar that I sell is manu- factured right here in the cleanest cigar factory and under the most careful sani- tary conditions that | have ever seen, It is * finicky" clean, according to some, TWO-This factory is very close to the business center of the third largest city in the United States, within ten minutes of the City Hall and Broad Street Station, and but five minutes from the Reading ‘Terminal.
