"Muriate Of Soda. !"

- P. I. Barnum, who, having attend
ed an agricultural lecture, where the
speaker was very lavish of his praises OF
muriate of soda as fertilizer, went in
the morning and ordered several tons to
be sent to his farm, which in due time
was delivered. His farmer opened one
of the casks with the intention of apply
ing it, and was surprised to find it COM
mon salt. He started for Mr. Barnum
ard accosted him in the following man.
ner: Mr.. Barnum, what did you say
that stuff was that came yesterday?'
Muriate of soda. 9sMuriate of sodar'
said the farmer. .. It's nothing but
salt. +" Nonsense. said Mr.. Barnum.
:. Il is muriate of soda - g Mr. Barnum,
come and see for yourself He went,
he saw and tasted it, and declared it to
be the greatest fraud ever perpetrated.
He started for the city, and went directly
to the dealer from whom it was bought,
and asked what the stuff was they had
sent him. Their reply was, " Muriate
of soda, as ordered. y !" Is is mistake,
for it is nothing but common salt" Then
for the first time, he learned that COM
mon salt and muriate of soda are one
and the same thing. . -

Sid Violin Trade.

Everybody who knows anything Of
musical instruments is aware of the
sometime existence of Stradivarius, Gu lr-
nerius and Steiner, the triumvirate of
violin makers; but not every one is aware
that process of patching and manufac-
turing old violins out of new ones has
long been practised on the Continent.
There are queer stories of cunning arti-
ficers who out of one doubtful Stradiva-'
RUS would construct half dozen appa-
rently genuine productions of the great
maker of .Cremona. The method bears
curious resemblance to those employed
in initiating old silver, old china, old pic
lures and old and young horses. It is
part of the great system of vamping.
Modern reproductions of Queen Anne and
Georgian silver are made to pass current
by the insertion of the old hallmark cut
from a small piece into a larger and more
important work; as vases rejected and
left unfinished at the old works at Sevres,
but with the factory mark upon them
have been finished outside and sold as
genuine. Horses have had, time out of
mind, their teeth ''bishoped'' with an
ironto make them appear of salable age,
and are to this day '.dones up by horse
''copers' with anthony and arsenic in
such mastery style that an animal
bought for twenty pounds at Ballinasloe
will fetch even of the Yorkshire s.bites.'
at Boroughbridge Fair four times that
sum. OF themanufacture-of pictures by
the Old Masters, and of worm-eaten fur
niture of the Middle Ages, there was at
one time no end; and long years elapsed
before the nobleman who made the grand
tour learned to doubt the authenticity of
the masterpieces which they brought
home to decorate their ancestral palaces
withal. Hence the superb Gainsboroughs,
'sSir Joshuas,n Romneys, Ramsays and
I4awrences distributed in English coun-
try houses, are accompanied by innumer-
able sham Guidos, Caracas and Rafael
les, and by Correggios, the ''corregiosi-
tyh whereof is very much more than
doubtful. But only very fine specimens
of the '.Old Masters" attract attention
now, and the making of sscorregiosity"
is hardly worth the Yarnish, the candles
and the fuel to heat the oven necessary
for the job. Chippendale and Sheraton,
too, have driven the worm-eaten cabi-
nets, once SO cleverly produced by the
dozen, quite out of the market It is
otherwise with violins, which, like horses,
are every day in increased requisition.
If horses are scarce, so is Bristol china,
and so are the violins of Cremona, which
increase not save under the hands of the
crafty maker, who YIELDS in with much
gluing and tinkering his little bit Of gem
uine old violin to the bulk of the new
London News.
