The Boy and the Bone-setter.

Speaking of bone-setters recalls q
good story which occurred in the
North of Scotland, where one of them
had risen to great fame and no small
fortune by his skill. A country lad
residing q few mile, off had got his leg
hurt at one Of the local factories, and
had been treated for some time by the
local medical man without any good
result. His mother, who had great
faith in the ne .ghroring bone-setter,
wanted the lad to go to him, which he

by his anxious mother, he was, after q
rather painful journey, taken to the
town where the tone-setter res ded.
The leg was duly examined, and it was
found necessary to haul it very severe

He was lifted up on the cart again,
and with his mother seated beside him

Rub-A-Dub! Rub-A-Dnb!

The snare drum Of familiar use-and
Of particularly familiar use during the
last months of two sorts, designated
ast the "Prussian'' and the regulation, !"
says the New York San. Both sorts
are in use, but the Prussian pattern Of
late years has got rather the better Of
its rival. The differences between the
two are these: The regulation drum is
fifteen inches deep, and is strung with
cord, and hangs at the side from q
shoulder belt. The Prussian drum is
eight inches deep, is strung by metal
rods which are worked by a key, and
hangs from the waist belt, hollow
rest further supporting it on the knee
Maiden lane is the great warehouse
for snare drums, which are manufac-
tured all about They are classed with
musical instruments, and are sold by
those who sell guitars, yiolins, flutes,
etc. There are seven such wholesale
houses in Maiden lane.
The round body of the snare-drum is
called the shell. It is made Of brass,
plain or nickel plated, or Of bird 's-eye
maple, mahogany, rosewood or white
holly. The heads of the snare-drum
are made of calfskin or sheepskin.
Sheepskin is used in cheap drums for.
children. The drum seen in the bands
has a calfskin head sixteen inches in
diameter. The skin is prepared with
great care, in order that all the fatty
parts may be removed, and that there
may be no flaws in it.
The drum of the Prussian model, as
has been said, is frightened with metal
bars instead Of cord. The bars are SIM
pie screws, and are worked with = key.
The regulation model has the old
fashioned cording and the leather ears
or braces. The ends of the cord are
secured, in what is called q drummer's
knot-about as incomprehensible a
knot as there is. The purpose of the
knot is to regulate the length of the
cord, and it does this in q singular IA
Gle fashion, growing larger or smaller,
and taking up or letting out slack
under merely the simplest manipula-
ton.
The ordinary drum has further seven
snares made Of catgut, and frightened
nowadays by simple apparatus called
a snare-strainer. The snare-strainer is
not many years old, but drummers now
call it necessity. Drummers in the
war Of the rebellion got along without
it. Finally, every snare-drum has a
little hole in the shell called vent. If
it were not for this the drum-head
would burst at tho first good tap.
Snare-drums, Prussian or regulation,
cost from $3. so to 1920. The ordinary
drummer perfers, perhaps, $40 drum
with mahogany shell. Drum sticks.
are made of rosewood, cocoawood, and
ebony, the two woods last named being
preferred.
