The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent Of insomnia or wakefulness
is in nine cases out Of ten a dyspeptic
stomach Good digestion gives sound
sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The
brain and stomach sympathize. One of
the prominent symptoms ola weak state
of the gastric organs is Il disturbance Of
the great nerve entrepot, the brain. In
yigorate the stomach, and you restore
equilibrium to the great centre A most
reliable medicine for the purpose is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters which is far pre-
ferablo to mineral sedatiyes and power
full narcotics, which, though they may
for a time exert a soporilc influence up
on the brain, soon cease to act and in
variably iniure the tone Of the stomach
The Btters, on the contrary, restore ac-
tiyity to the operations of that all impor.
tant organ and their benehcent influence
is reflected in sound sleep and tranquil
state Of the nervous system. A whole.
some impetus is likewise given to the &c.
ton Of the liver and bowels by its use.

THE VIOLIN.

The violin in it's earlier forms is of great
and uncertain antiquity. Its origin is trac'
ed to a stringed instrument used in India
from the earliest ages, the ravanastron,
which, a Buddhist tradition says, was in,
vented by Ravana, King of Ceylon, 5000
B. G.. A similar instrument was the erwin
of Wales, which is known to have been in
use long before the sixth century, among
the Britons, and to which the .Anglo-SaX'
ons gave the name of fythel, whence our
word fiddle. The immediate precursor Of
the violin was the viol, which is known to
have been in use in the tenth century. This
was flat above and below, had deep bends
in the sides, used from three to six strings,
and was played with a bow. But the viol.
in of modern form was not made until the
fifteenth or sixteenth century. The EARL.
est maker of the modern violin whose in
struments are authenticated was Gaspard
di Salo, of Lombardy, who worked between
1860 and 1912. To one other maker living
before this time, Gaspard Duiffo Pruggar.
some existing instruments are attributed,
but it is very doubtful whether this maker
constructed anything else than viols and
lutes. The Italian school of violin making
had its origin in Brescia, and as far as is
now known, was founded by Gaspard di
Salo. The greatest of the Brescian max
ers was Giovanni Paolo Magini, who liv-
ed about 1890 1910, and whose instruments
still hold a place among the best ever made
But soon the Brescia violin-makers were
eclipsed by those of Cremona, whose in
struments have been the wonder and adj
miration from their time to the present,
possessing a tone and quality that subse'
quent makers have tried in vain to equal,
TO the greatest of the many successful vio'
lin-makers among the numbers who fol-
generations kept up the reputation Of
Cremonese work, were Nicholas Amati,
Joseph Guarneri del Gesu and Antonius
Stradivarius. Very. little is known of these
great makers, for in their day they were
simply hard working artisans who sold
for O few forms instruments which now
command hundreds and even thousands OF
dollars. Experience has shown that the
minutest details Of form and proportion,
and the material of which each separate
part is made, are matters of vital impor-
lance to the quality of the violin. The
great makers seem to have secured by
many delicate experiments the very per-
lection of acoustical quality, which dex-
terity and careful workmanship enabled
them always to fully Chicago
Inter-. Ocean.

HARMONY OF COLOR AND COMPLEXION.

The artist will employ for a brunette bril-
liant yellows and splendid reds. A jonquil
colored ribbon, a scarlet camelia in the
black ~tresses, a poppy colored bodice, par
TALLY softened by Chantilly lace, will give
a dashing character to the figure so decorat'
ed, and instead of diminishing its effect
/ will add to it new force. But if we have tc
deal with a delicate brunette with slightly
faded features, or a brunette whose skin is
comparatively fair and eyes of a v~elvety
black, we must no longer make use of strik'
ing and decided colors. Here, on the con
trary, soft colors should be employed, es'
pecially pale blue, because that is the shade
which approaches nearest to white, without
having it's rawness.
If the hair of a blonde be golden or red, il
ought without doubt to be accompanied by
its complementary color, a dark velvet bon
net. A tuft of violets in the hair, a deeI
lilac dress, will 60 with it marvelously we'll
There is another color that suits all shades
of red hair-green of a medium intensity
If the complexion of the blonde be delicate
and fresh, an orange, Turkey or ruby red
will set off the freshness and delicacy, part
ly by contrast. Women who are placed, sc
to speak, in the half shades of color, may
wear either what suits brunettes or blondes
provided the tones of their dress and orna'
ments be subdued in proportion to the de-
gree of warmth in their complexion. Pure
yellow or deep red would i'll suit chestnut
hair, ever if dark but half-tints, such as
pale yellow, maize, deep yellow, turquoise
blue and hazy blue, would harmonic wei
with the neutral character of these natural
c0lors.
AS 10 those who have ash-colored hair
and skin in keeping with it, eyes blue as
the sea or sea green, their delicate and eX'
IRENE s%oftness calls for half-Warm tints
with tints of neutral gray or slashings Of
pale blue. Black velvet gives them fair
ness without detracting from the distinc'
ton and delicacy which are the character
istics of their complexion, and pearls form
in their ornaments a happy ~consonance,
provided that their cold color is relieved by
one that is decided, tastefully used and con
centrated within a space, such as a polished
but uncut garnet, a ruby or a trinket OF
gold.-"Art IN Ornament and Dress" from
the French Of Charles Blanc.

"And Nick, I understand, is still solid
for Mr.. Davis, first, last, and all the time
for Governor of Mississippi, Louisiana, or
any other State into which his rough-dia-
mond admirers nomadic pursuits may take
him.
II could fill a small volume with the
entertaining "reminiscences and anecdotes
which made memorably pleasant an after
noon of clumsy amateur races, with I'M
! trained plug horses and young society men
as the material but one more, containing
a scrap of neutrality-suspicious. Confeder-
ate secret history, is all | have time to give.
A gentleman of the party, who has for many
years been one of the most intimate friends
of Mr.. Davis, told me that the Confederate
Ex-President once declared to him that he
considered Albert Sidney Johnston the
greatest man he had ever known. He re-
garded him as the greatestin every respect.
He thought, if he had adopted statecraftas a
profession, he would have been the greatest
statesman of his age; if he had chosen art,
he would have been the greatest artist; if
science, the greatest scientist; if law, the
greatest lawyer. AS a soldier he had no
peer on either side during the war, if he
ever had in American history. Mr.. Davis
added: $50 great, so absolute was my con
fdence in his abilities, that, on one occasion
during our struggle, I rendered my resigna-
ton as President of the ~Confederacy to my
Cabinet, provided they would put General
Johnston in MY place."
"Does this not put a somewhat new face
on many of the current impressions of jeff
Davis character? Does it not materially
change the prevalent idea of his ruthless
selfshness and ambition, and show him
ready to sacrifice himself for the sake of his
section and people? Whatever may be
the verdict of history as to his patriotism,
I must say T can see no difference in that
respect between him and many men who
now hold seats in the United States Senate
and House of Representatives, Judgeships
in United States Courts and commissions as
United States ministers to foreign Govern
ments. They all fought and failed in the
same cause.
"However the future may write him
down, one thing is certain: This country
has produced few more brilliant and accom-
plished men, and no more instructive and
delightful companion for an afternoon o.
tiresome races"

Hag- If you want to know the character of
a house, ask the servants-especially theold
servants. If you want to know what sort
of a condition the public services are in,
sometimes you will hear various accounts of
them. But it is different with the service
of our Lord. Ask the old servants, and you
will get the best account of it. There may
be servants who have tried it for a little
while and become froward and wilful.
Those who have been at it longest have the
best things to say about it. Ask such an
one as Paul the aged. Observe the cheerful
ness of the latest Epistle of Paul.

THE EVERLASTING CONFLICT.-As it
was in the beginning, as it is now, so shall
it be until the end-constant conflict be-
tween the Church and the world. Christ
organized his Church to this end, to over
throw the works of darkness. The aggres.
sion of the world upon the Church is to be
expected, but to be earnestly resisted. The
spirit of the world and the works of the
world within the Church maj her beauty
and weaken her power. The love of the
world is an evil spirit which must be exor-
cised, in order that the love CT God may
abound and work in us to the furtherance
of his glory.

Just deliver your soul of what is in it. Get
your heart red hot, and then, like some VOL
cano that is heaving in it's inner bowels, let
the hot lava of your speech run streaming
down. You need not care for the graces of
oratory nor the refinement of eloquence,
but speak what you do know; show them
your Saviour's wounds; bid his sorrow
speak to them, and it shall be marvellous
how your stammering tongue shall be all
the. better an instrument because it does
stammer, for that God "hath chosen the
