erything before it, this claim is one of the
absurdest that rational men can set mp.

country he brought with him six flutes,
which his brother in London had made.
He started his modest little business in
furs with the proceeds of the sale of the
instruments. One of these instruments

Hoboken, and by him was sent TO flute
maker for repairs. Time had cracked the
old flute, and the keys were bent aud

and restored to its pristine vigor, though
its value lies in its associations, rather
than in its musical qualities.
