Rub Rub.A-Dub!

The snare drum of familiar use-and
of particularly familiar use during the
last months of two sorts, designated
as the ''Prussian" and the regulation, y
SAYS the New York Sun. 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 a
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, violins. flutes,
etc. There are seven such wholesale
houses in Maiden lane.
The round body of the snare-drum is
called the shell. 1t 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 tightened 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 a drummer s
knot-about as ipcomprehensible a
knot as there is. The purpose of the
knot is to regulate the length of the
cord, and it does this in a singular IA
cile 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 tightened
nowadays by 4 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. II
it were not for this the drum-head
would burst at the first good tap.
Snare-drums, Prussian or regulation,
cost from $3.50 to Sl2 90. The ordinary
drummer per,crs, perhaps, $40 drum
with mahogany shell. Drum sticks
are made of rosewood. cocoawood, and
ebony, the two woods last named being
preferred.

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 few miles 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. ghtoring bone-setter,
wanted the lad to go to him, which he
decl ned, preferr.ng, as he sad, the
regular faculty" Eventually, how
ever, his mothers pcrSuasions prevail
ed. and he agreed to allow himself to
be taken to see Daniel R, the bone
setter. A bed for the invalid was eX-
temporized on a cart, and accompanied
by his anxious mother, he was, after a
rather painful journey, taken to the
town where the tone-setter res ded.
The leg was duly examined, and it waN
found necessary to haul it very severe
ly to order, as the bone-$etter said Ito
get the bone in." The lad was liberal
with his screams while this was going
on, but eventually the bone was '.got
i'm, and he was told to go homo and
in few days he would be all right and
fit for his work.
He was lifted up on the cart again,
and with his mother seated beside him
set out for home. Didn't Danny do
the thing well?" said the joyous old
lady. Yes, he did mother" said the
lad, "but was ma sic q fool as to gle
him the sair leg!' The reg lar facul-
ty'' will, we have no doubt, appreciate
the story Whitehall Reuielc.

The Nenia Gazette says: a disgusting
case was developed in the Mayors court this
morning, by the arrest OF Lizzie Lawrence. a
white girl, aged sixteen years. upon a charge
OF disorderly conduct. The Lawrence girl.
who claims to have husband living in
Springfield, has been living with Maxwell in
an East End shauty. A few days ago he left
her and commenced housekeeping with an
other white woman named Morris. As soon
as the Lawrence girl learned of her lovers
inhdelity she went TO the house of his new
flame and inaugurated a reign of terror, the
two white women iuiulging in a spirited
conflict over the colored man. Maxwell
became involved in the quarrel, and be

At the meeting OF the Clark County Re-
publican Central Committee, Saturday, writ
ten protest was filed by A. S. Way against
the seating of Thomas Jewett as a member
OF the committee from precinct B, Fifth
Ward. 1t was alleged that Jewett is resi-
dent OF precinct A, and therefore disqualified
to represent precinct B; and, further, tina. the
contestant was the only person voted for in
the latter precinct, and therefore is entitled
to the seat. Mr.. Jewett was present at the
meeting and acted with the committee Satur-
day. He asked permission to make state
ment of facts in the case, as he and his friends
viewed them, but as Way was neither pres
ent in person or by representative, it was de-
clded not to enter upon the matter at that
time, and committee was appointed, as
named in the regular report elsewhere, to

The Annual Meet to he Held in this City
Next July-Meetiug of Officers.
meeting of the officers of the League OF
American Nheelmen was held in the Ls-
gonda House parlors this morning, and was
well attended. The question of the next
place for holding the annual meet came up,
and, without discussion, it was unanimously
decided that Springfield should be the place.
The meet will consist of two
days session, commencing Monday, July 90.
On the first morning the business meeting of
the League will be held, and in the afternoon
the races and fancy riding will be held at the
Fair Grounds. Tuesday afternoon will also
be given up to racing, and on Tuesday even
ing grand banquet will be rendered the visi-
tors at one of the hotels Ii is expected that
there will be between three aud four hundred
bicyclists in the city. They will make their
headquarters at the Lagonds House. An ef-
fort will be made to make this one of the
most interesting meetings ever held. Most of
the officers OF the League belong in this city
and they say it will be very strange if
they do not get up one of the most
rousing receptions the League ever
met with. The officers of the League, who
are now here, express themselves as very
much pleased with Springfield. The Nomi-
mating Committee yesterday recommended
the reelection of Mr.. T. J. Kirkpatrick as
chief consul. The also recommended the
election of two more representatives, and
these will probably be given to the Cincin-
natl and Cleveland clubs.

The tobacco plantations in Southern
Hungary are threatened by terrible
pest, viz, the so-called wire worm, in
asmuch as it enters the stem of the
plant Just above the root, and then
works it destructive way right to the

tobacco whatever, as the leaves turn
yellow and fall shortly after the worm
has attacked the stem. The tobacco
worm merely attacks the root The
