DEVELOPMENT of tho Violin.

In Hungary may be seen the development
Of the violin, assuming form often in the
trained hands of the child, since the father
instructs his son IN his own calling at an
early age, initiating him into its subtleties
by a constant application of his little hands
aud head The making Of the violin in this
way hes been transmitted even by the wo-
men to their progeny for successive genera
tions, and in one little honse there may be
some Of the finest instruments in process of
completion.
It is a strange fact that the Incompatible
viclins were those made first. Among several
Italian families the honors Of violin making
were disputed at the outset of its career. and
such great eminence did each one Of them OBJ
tain in its manufacture and so carefully did
they guard the secret of the superior me-
chanism that no knowledge obtained by any
particular member OF a "violin family" was
permitted to reach the ear Of a rival or even
the outside world. Thus, after an extended
geEiod OF surpaSsing perfection, violin max

To Scald Milk Properly.

1t is recommended that the milk supply of
cities, at least in hot weather, be scalded as
soon as received by the consumers, to pre-
vent its souring. To scald milk properly
The following method is advised: Take a thin
glass bottle provided with rubber cork, fill
it with milk nearly up to the neck and place
it unccrked in a kettle of water, which
should then be gradually brought to a boil.
When steam hrs commenced to escape from
the bottle cork it lightly and continue the
boiling for thirty-five or forty minutes and
the process will be complete. A bottle Of
milk thus prepared, it is said, will remain
sweet month if kept in Il cool place and
tightly corked-Boston Journal of Health.

A Word for the Rag Carpet

The only thing that kills rag carpet for

a rag carpet that suggests home. 1t is not

Tho Instinct of Mothers.

At present there are mothers who are not
mothers. In the true sense they have never
borne the children they rear to maturity.
Such are not to blame, they have never
learned what life means nor do they know
themselves Walking as in a dream they
take the show Of things for the reality.
Unwinged butterflies, they flourish their
feeble day and leave no impress upon their
starved progeny.
On the other hand the unwedded or they
who have never known a mothers fruition,
often stretch out the arms of their spirits to
take in al the sad, sick and weary that desc
lately walk the earth. The mother instinct
is then not narrowed selfishly to one family,
but grows broad as the heavens from which
came love so wonderful 1t takes in who
ever needs 'mothering" to shelter on the
great heart that waits not for the human tie
before accepting that Of the spirit. Is not
this truly the highest and hottest motherhood
to which woman can attainHHester N.

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-Convention day opens clear
and bright, but slightly warmer than yesterday.
Nearly all the talk this morning is In regard to the
tariff. The democratic organ here Is out in an
other douhle-headed warning to the tariff re-
formers to be vigilant II they would succeed, and
1t reterates the assertion as If by authority, that
Cleveland will not accept the nomination upon any
but strong tariff reform platform. The revenue
reformers have been working diligently for twenty
four hours to convince the delegates that there
must be no equvocation on the tariff, and while
they have, no doubt, produced some effect. they
have not by any means won the fight. Chairman
Barnum and Secretary Prince, OF the national
committee; senators German and Kenna, and
other leaders, who maintain that the convention
must be cautious as to the tariff declaration, are
systematic workers. They have rallied around
them compact body OF ofdemOcrats, and will exert
a strong influence in the convention.
wATTERsoN WORKING HARD FOR TARIFF REFORM.
Henry Watterson is using his voice and pen to
procure tariff plank to accord with the advanced
thought Of his element OF the party. He does not
ask an Endorsement OF the Mills bill, because he
says it is not yet perfected and that any document
which is to lay down lighting lines for a campaign
could not take that bill for basis. MI. Watterson
insists that the convention shall 1ndOrse the efforts
OF the democratic congressman to effect tariff
reform, but in this ne will probably be diSap-
pointed. The leaders Of the party do not manifest
any inclination to have the convention formally
ratify what has been done in the House OF Repre-
sentatives with the tariff. The assembled demo-
Gratis are not as demonstrattve as at former con-
ventions, but that is no sign OF lukewarmness or
discomfort. There is nothing to develop their
enthusiasm; no clashing Of clans In behalf Of
favorite candidates. but party arrayed solidly
for one man for President, and almost as solidly
for another for President.
BLACKS FRIENDS STANDING BY HIN.

vent Thurmans nomination. That is conceded by
