phones, is the burden of my song,' or 'graph-
ophones is the subject of my song.' Of
course we should say, 'graphophones vary in
size/ but when the subject of a sentence, al-
though plural in form, is used to denote a
unit of some sort, the verb is singular. 'Pres-
idents have many duties.' 'Presidents is the
subject that we shall discuss this evening.'
Under this rule the subject, though plural in
form, is singular in meaning. Bain (Higher
English Grammar) gives the following as
correct: 'By my valor, Sir Lucius, forty
yards is a good distance.' "
There may be more chapters, and the dis-
cussion is interesting and instructive.

HARK HA/IBOURO writes: "It is superior to any other Piano Player."
ERNEST SCHELLINQ (favorite pupil of Paderewskl) says: "It is far more artistic than
any other such device."

THE CHAMPION ORGAN BLOWER.
The champion organ blower, in point of
service, has been found to be seventy-two-
year-old Joshua Savall, who, without a sin-
gle absence, has pumped the organ of Ply-
mouth Church in Brooklyn for the past thir-
ty-seven years. On school days he also pumps
the organ every morning at Packer Institute.
"Old Joshua," as everyone who knows him
calls the organ blower, is a colored man and
blind. He is something of a musician him-
self, playing a 'cello with skill. Most of his
life he has pumped an organ in some church.
During all the years that he has served Ply-
mouth Church he has never received a sal-
ary, because he wanted to give his services.
Brown Bros., the well-known music deal-
ers of Salem, Mass., have furnished the
Masonic Hall of that city with a handsome
Estey organ. It is a reed instrument, the
largest made, with all modern improvements
in the way of stops, etc., and withal a very
handsome ornament for the lodge room.
