9ral it appears that the receipts for the

INC securities then in court, made up q

Though not generally known, it is per-
iectily true that very considerable sums CT

would appear by this that these unclaim-
ca funds have been utilized to tighten the
burden OF taxation, it being impossible
TO divide the surplus interest among the
suitors. BY return made to the House

of suitors' stock then il court

Some Notable instruments

The London Musical World furnishes
more interesting matter touching violins,
their makers and players, which we re-
print in the interest of the muslcally in
clined.
The violin, or some form or another of
that apparently simple but really elabor-
ately complex instrument, has been at all
times the delight and the solace of hui
manity-when humanity is endowed with
the quality called by metonymy IAN ear "
Whether Apollo, when entertaining with
sweet sounds the nymphs ON Parnassus,
played not on Tyre, as ne has been de-
picted by Rafaelle in fresco in one Of
the "Stanze" of the Vatican, and whether
it was by means of violin and not of n
lutte that .Orpheus charmed the brutes,
and old Timotheus enchanted the guests
at Alexauder's Feast, may be moot
points; but all amateurs know that there
are ways of touching the instrument
which render 1t now grave, soft and Ian
gushing, now sprightly and Joyous, now
so sonorous and majestic ns to make it
worthy to take part in the Interpretation
of the highest for.ls Of church music.
The fiddle, when ndexterously played upon,
can do vast number of things, although
the lady cited in the Guardian complain
ed that she had tried it all over, by draw
ing the bow across every part of the
strings, but could not, for her heart, find
out where the tune lay.
Skilfully handled, however, it could so
fascinate Gainsborough the painter-him-
self no mean performer ON the instrn-
ment-that he one day offered gallant
colonel who was playing to him in his
studio to make him present of his pic
ture of "The Boy at the Stile" if the
colonel would only favor him with one
more tune. But the fiddle possesses even
greater powers than these. 1t has made

observers. BY this system of entrance and
cgress it will be seen how thoroughlG Par
isian households are guarded against the
entrance of sneak thieves.
Every person of an appearance in the
smallest degree suspicious is closely in
tcrrogated by the concierge before he or
she is suffered to mount the stairs to any
one of the different suites of apartments.
At night thief might gain entrance, it is
true, If the concierge were drowsy and
were not upon the watch as to who it was
that rang the bell but he would next
have to pick the lock of the door of the n
partment that he meant to honor with n
visit, and then his operations once sue
cessfully concluded and his booty secured,
he would have is perform the far more
difficult feat of getting out again uncheck-
ed and unmolested. 1t is natural enough
for the inmates of house to come in mt
all unearthly hours of the night, but not
for them to go ont at such hours, and n
cry after midnight from within the court
of "Cordou, sill vous plait" invariably
arouses the watchful concierge from his
pillow to see who the departing individual
may be. So no thief, however tempted or
adroit, likes to run his head into so very
close II trap.

sale, as much as five hundred pounds.
Such stupendous price was realized q
day or two since, Mt the sale by Messrs.
Puttick & Simpson of choice collection
of violins, the property of gentleman
deceased. The instrument which reached
the final and amazing bid of five hundred
pounds was brought to England by the
celebrated Norwegian violinst, Ole Bull,
who, in the long line of famous fddlers,
may be placed between Paganini and Siv-
ori, and the violin which he brought with
him to our shores is known among "fidi-
culamanacs' as the Spanish Stradiva-
rius, and is of the date of 1857 After
this exceptionally interesting instrument
had been disposed of there was sold for
two hundred and ninety pounds "a Joseph
Guarnerius of 1913, and another by the
same maker, or "author," as it is techni
cally the etiquette to term n manufacture
er of fiddles, for two hundred and forty
five pounds. This instrument was also
dated 1873. A violin by Carlo Bernonzi
brought fifty pounds one by Jakob
Stainer forty-five pounds n violin with

were rewarded by the discovery of sec.

One dreamer-an old woman of Mar.

Its realization as she could by leaving iii

\ remarkable dream story is told by
the present German Emperor He dream
ed one night that, standing at the Kur
Spring, knrlsbad, man gave him a
small china cup to drink from which con-
tanned deadly poison. He laughed in
the morning at the remembrance of this
dream, and mentioned the fact that every
morning when he drank at the Kur Spring
the cup was presented to him by Charm
ing young girl whom he was sure could
never contemplate murder. For the first
time, however, on that morning, instead
of the girl, n man appeared and handed
him the cup. The Emperor hesitated,
but, looking into the mans kindly face,
he smiled to himself and took the draught.

peror William "but, ON the contrary,

fatal, was very beneficial"

what possible reason he could have for
