that the people have come to accept his
presence there without any question. His
qualities as e candidate are entirely opposite
to those of Boulanger.
His advantages are negative advantages,
in that he has no enemies, and is con-
sentative, safe and reasonable man to sup
port NJ Jacques was not brought out as a
candidate for Deputy so much on account of
his own merit as for the sake of beating
Boulanger. The cry in France Of late has

Keeping pace with the strides that have
been made in banjo-playing is banjo
making.
The best instruments now used are made
with maple shell about which q nickel or
German silver covered brass sheet is spun
and bound at each edge with heavy wire.
The head IS most important part and is
made OF caifskin drawn very tight by from
twenty-four to thirty bolts. The neck is
made OF walnut or mahogany, the latter
preferred, and the fnger-board and scale

used from time immemoriaL 1t was popu-
lar with the Greeks, especially at the BAG
chanalian feasts, and they speak OF 1t as be-
ing the most common stringed Instrument
among the Egyptians. Indeed, 1t IS not at
all unlikely that its strains were added TO
the sansuous music in the court OF Cleo
patra, or that she herself fingered the res
pnant strings. The Chinese and Japanese
have an instrument similar TO it covered
with gazelle skin, and even the African
bushman has q rude banio-like affair, with
which he whiles away the idle hours. The
negroes first played or ''thumped" the
banjo with a thimble worn on the first
finger, but the artist OF to-day uses all the
fingers, the same as in playing the guitar.
Teachers who formerly gave instruction
Oh the guitar alone now find it necessary 10
teach the banjo as well, ladies especially
demanding that a knowledge OF Its use be
numbered among their accomplishments.
In the hands of a skillful artist almost any
thing can be played upon it, and the most
difficult overturer and fantasier tino places
upon the programme in banjo concerts
along with negro melodies and lively airs.
In fact, banjo-playing rs quite the "fad, y
