a new MUSICAL tustrument lnVeuteu'
The story of its first conception is one
of interest. When child Mr.. Hamilton
was chosen by the queen as the compan-
ion Of Prince Arthur, whose studies he
shared, and thus had the finest training
that could be obtained. He grew up
thoughtful, serious boy, full of vague as
pirations and lofty ideals-the tempera-
ment that is prone to dreams and visions
One day at a service in Westminster alb
hey he noticed, as he was coming out,
that the voice of boy chorister pene-
trated greater distance than the tones
of the organ itself, and he fell to won
dering why this should be- how it was
that the slender human mechanism
should possess a greater carrying power
than the massive pipes of the great or
gan.
On this hint he set to work to devise
an instrument that should be similar in
construction to to the vox humana, and
of a series of experiments the new in
strument, the vocation, is the result. Its
arrangement follows closely that of the
human throat And its tones are said to
emulate those of the voice. A trial in
strument was shown in Music hall few
months ago, and Mr.. Lang and other
musical judges gave it a high approval.
1t is said that vocation of far greater
power than the largest organs can be Sc
cured for one-fourth the cost. The per-
lection of the experiments on wind and
pipe instrument will be awaited with in
terest. The vocation combines the prin-
ciples of theEolian harp and of the hui
man voice.-Lillian Whiting in Inter

Government Real Estate in New York.

AT the foundation of our government
not a foot of real estate was owned by it
in New York city, and the use of the city
hall for the Inauguration of Washington
was only matter of courtesy. Now the
government owns property in the star
city to the value of Sl5, 200, 600, most of
which was acquired at a price way
below what it now would bring

The superstition in regard to pocket
piece" for luck is older than profane his
tory. The English folk lore explains it
on the assumption that if the purse ever
becomes empty the devil will get in and
it never will be full of money again. 1t
is supposed that the idea of the power of
single piece of money to exclude de-
moniacal possession came from the fact
that a large proportion of the earlier
small coin, thus retained, bore a cross as
a legend on one side of the piece. We
find, however, that the superstition ante
dates the use of the symbol, and we sug-
gest that it had moral natural origin.
The expression "nest-egg" best ex-
plains it, a fowl will continue to de-
post her eggs in a nest that is daily
robbed of its treasure as long as one is
left; but if all are taken she will forsake
the nest and prepare new one. The
pocket-piece, always kept, was the nest
egg, designed to prevent its desertion by
Fortune, who might be driven away by
its utter emptiness. To him that hath il
shall be given, and a nest-egg is a per.
petual invitation to the tickle jade to add
yet more to the little deposit.-St. Louis

His First Case of inconsistencies.

A young boy who recently left his

Martin Luther's Home at Mansfield.

Luther's boyish more at Mansfield, in

possible to its original condition when

habited by a body of deaconesses, who
will nurse and care for the sick and poor

Horrible Suspicion,

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, August 2. From
Isle Royal in Lake Superior, comes u
report that the fisheries are suspected
of having rified the bodies OF forty vic
tins lost in the Algona disaster last fall.
and that to avoid detection they sunk
the corcses far out IN the Lake.
Seven revenue cutters and Y. Johnson
leave Milwaukee 10 morrow for Lake
Superior, and will probably make "a
thorough investigation. The Canadian
Pacific steamship AigOnG went ashore
on the reefs at Eastern Isle Royal la I
fall, and about forty people were
drowned. The wreckers are nov at
work on the vessel, and though careful
search has been made no bodies have
oeen recovered, except one or TWO found
pinned in the timbers and framework
of the vessel. The theory for their
mysterious disappearance Is that the
bodies were despoiled by the islanders,
and then sunk III the lake. This theory
is strengthened by the finding Of mu-
tilated clothes and articles of value in
their cabins. such IS the explanation
advanced by the wfeckers at work on
the vessel, as a reason why the bodies
have never been recovered.

The DEPTH OF IGNoRANCE.-Here
| is an ayerment which we'll illustrates
the depth Of ignorance which may
exist even in the minds of cultured
persons. 1t is from the Boston Post
that we quote:
"Every month s2,OO0,O00 of gold
in the public treasury are paid out
for 100000 Of silver to lie idle in
the public treasury"
Isn't such ignorance something
wonderful, especially in Boston?
The treasury buys it's silver in the
market, at the market price, and has
always done so. Whatever profit
there is on its coinage the govern
mcnt makes. According to the re-
port of the director of the mint, the
purchases of silver in the fiscal year
eaalng June 81, 1889, were a little
less than "A, 4,250,00O Of standard oun-
ces costing, in round numbers, $23,-
100000; and from this quantity OF
silver more than 2S,5O0,O00 Of stan
dard dollars were coined. That is
70 say, fer two millions of gold paid
monthly the treasury receives two
millions and three-eights of silver
money. 1t is true the silver lies idle
IN the treasury, but that is no fault
o. the silver. The treasury refuses
pay it out; that is all. In discuss
Jug these subjects it is advantageous

REyoLvERs IN CoURr.-The recent
term Of court held by Judge Buck
in Murray, was not altogether of the
quiet, tedious, rountine order peculiar
to such Judicial gatherings, says the
lPalouse Gazette. A Mrs. Peck was
on trial charged with attempting to
bribe jury. The judge addressed
the father of the defendant aud said:
at has come to my ears that you have
stated on the streets that you would
come into this court room armed to-
day. Have you any arms with your!
The gentleman denied making an as
sertion or that he was armed. The
court, however, took the precautlon to
declare recess of FIVE minutes and
disarm such as were supplied with
guns. On another day as Col. Single
ton, an attorney, was testifying in the
same case, Jack McCauley called him
liar. Col. Singleton jumped to his
feet and pulled a revolver from his
coat pocket and faced the speaker,
while McCauley had also drawn a re-
volver and held it in front of him.
There was a tremendous commotion
among the crowd, many of whom
rushed pell nell through the door and
down stairs, while others overturned
benches and chairs, and we believe,
| fell flat on the floor. The sheriff
rather excitedly threw himself be-
tween the two gentlemen, and with
drawn revolver threatened 10 shoot
| the first man who fired shot. Dep
uty Sheriff Hearley also jumped on a
bench, with drawn revolver and COM
manded peace. Finally order was
restored, and the court ordered the
sheriff to arrest Mr.. McCauley and
take weapons from both. The judge
then said: "The court fines you $500,
MoCauley, and you will be confined
until the fine is paid" Col Singleton
was also fined 5000 for coming to the
court armed and Mrs. Peck fined 5000
for attempted bribery.
