Famous Riddles.

The violin of the present day was in
vented by Ravana, King of Ceylon, 3, 600
b. G. 1t is not known whether the
violin proper is French or an Italian
invention; but the instrument in all its
various ascending grades of perfection
Is e.eminently Italian, as there were
lutte schools at Brescia where viols were
made as early as 1850, and violin made
by Gaspara di Salo at Brescia is still ex-
tant bearing the date of 1866.
Jean Paul Magini was pupil of Di
Salo, and copied his master faithfully
without attempting improvements; thus
it was reserved for Andreas Amati to
found the school of Cremona. Of his
origin or place of apprenticeship little is
known, 1t being supposed that he was
pupil of the Brescian school. His instru-
ments were smaller than those of the
Magini, of finer finish. lighter color, and
softer and clearer in tone. and were ia
vorites of Charles TX. of France, who
was great fiddler, like Charles H., who
introduced the violin into England.
When Antonius Amati died, in 1880,
his sons Antonius ari Jerome having
inherited his genius and his workshop,
continued the partnership until the death
of Antonius in 1885, when the celebrated
instruments began to detcriorate, the
ruling genius of Antonius having per-
ished with him. In Nicolas, the SON of
jerome, however, the genius of the ANA
tbs seems to have eliminated, as the pro-
portions and curves of his handiwork are
more accordant. and the beauty and fin
ish more exquisite than those of his pre-
decessors. A few of his instruments are
still in existence To the Amati school
belonged the famous Joseph Guarnerius.
whose improved workmanship added
softness and sweetness to the work OF
his illustrious master.
But when the Mayfower had deposited
her precious freight on the shores of the
New World, Antonius Stradivarius. the
renowned pupil of Nicolas Amati, in
his little workshop in the Piazza s.
Dominica, Rome. was lending eye and
ear and the cunning of his hand to
make both the exterior and the interior
of the violin, where the god of music
might dwell, beautiful, entire and
clean" and after twenty years of pa
tient toll he was crowned with the laurel
branch of success, to which no leaf has
been added since he took up his chisel, in
1876, at she age of ninety two. and COM
pleted his last violin, although his finest
instruments were made between 100
and 1926.
Enthusiastic violinists have related
marvellous things of the capricious vio-
lin and its feminine coquetries. Ole Bull
used to say that he frequently had to
coax and wheedle his violin without
stint and to WOO it by the gentlest of
caresses. When it would obstinately re-
fuse to utter accordant notes ne was
won't TO rub it mildly into good humor
with flannel cloth, or to put it aside
until its coquettish mood had passed
away
The violin is not only s'the backwoods-
mans delight, but its sweet tones have
been the solace of kings and princes from
the time of Ravana of Ceylon TO Queen
Victoria, whose fiddler, William Blair,
has recently died. Chicago Current.

Lady Clerks in the Oregon LegisIa.
tur0

One of the first things which attract
the attention Of casual visitors to the
present Legislature is. the large number of
young ladies seen fitting about the
building and in and out of the various
committee rooms of both houses. In
curry elicits the information that these
young ladies are clerks OF committees,
and poor indeed is the committee and
homcly and unfortunate the members
thereof which has not secured one or
more of these clerks. The ladies appear
TO have come down like a wolf on the
fold and to have captured the entire
legislature. This is evidence of the
growth of aesthetic tastes among the
members, as even If the majority of the
committees have no use for clerks they
are certainly ornamental. They fit
around and trip in and out quite noise
lessly, but of course there is always more
or less Of hustle and bang among so
many ladies. The only sufferers are the
taxpayers, and the urbane secretary Of
state and his genial assistant, who are
kept so busy in issuing supplies to this
army of clerks that they have but little
time TO attend TO anything else. When
the ladies are referred to the chairmen
