In favor the pas. few years especially
among young ladies'. In England it is said
to have fairly taken is place a, an instru-
ment for girls. After all. the piano. forte
is really a very modern instrument when
compared with the violin. 1t is only a harp
set in box and twanged with leather COY
cred hammers. 1t really mechanical sort
of an affair, while the violin has never with
in the memory of living man or woman been
improved. and never will be. Who care
for an old piano. or how much it is worth
But a violin, What divine melody will
pour forth under skillful fingers from an
old Stradivarius or Amati? The wizard OF
Cremona possessed secret which no imi-
tator however keen, has ever been able to
fsthom. But how these few choice instru-
men.s are sought after by the relic hunter,
the musician, the person of wealth who
would spare not gold il they could buI
become the happy possessor of one of these
rare old products. The master Of the piano
forte is n skillful mechsnician, with agile,
supple fingers and an acute musical instinct.
The master or mistress Of the violin is
imbued With divine fire, the gift of the
gods.

Saving an Arm on.

Colonel II. C. Hamilton, Clerk of the
United States District Court, was telling
recently how it felt to have a limb cut
off. He was perfectly conscious when
his arm was cut off in a field hospital,
and says of it;
at really doesn't hurt except when
the first cut around the limb Is made,
cutting the skin. That's because the
nerves are all situated Just under the
skin, and after they are cut there is
nothing to convey the sensation of pain.
Cutting through the flesh Is like cutting
q nail or a bit of dead skin-a dead feel
ing. Even saving the bone is only q
dull feeling. The real pain is over when
the knives get into the flesh. atlanta

CAKES FOR HOME TEAS.

There are many delicious hot cakes
which are eaten with butter that are
especially welcome on the home table on
cold or damp nights. Wafiles, old
fashioned rice pancakes and sally-lunns
are regular features of the Southern tea
tables Any one who has eaten the ex-
cellent German apple and peach cakes
viii find them especially delicious and
su;t9ble for the supper table. To make
a ,pod rice cake, take cup of boiled
rus add TO it two cups of milk, moisten-
g the rice by degrees. When all the
NIX is added stir in half cup of
= Sd butter Sift over the
two cups of flour, mixed
WitK two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder; add two we'll beaten eggs, a
teaspoonful of salt and beat the batter
thoroughly. Bake these cakes on a grid
die. If they are too thick thin them
with more milk. They should be quite
thin Sprinkle them with powdered
sugar, squeeze lemon juice over them,
roll each of them into close rolls and
serve very hot. A pleasant thin tea cake
is made with half a cup of butter, beaten
to a cream, one egg well beaten and
added to the butter, and finally cup of
milk, with half a teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in it and two cups of flour, in
which a teaspoonful of cream tartar has
been stirred. Beat this cake vigorously
and bake it in sheets in shallow pans.
This cake should be cut out in squares
and served very hot on the tea table,
where it should be split and battered. A
peach kuchen or cake is a simple biscuit
dough made with pint of warm milk
in which half cup of butter has been
melted, and flour enough to make bat
ter as stiff as can be stirred. Add half
teacup of yeast and a teaspoonful of salt
and one of sugar to the batter before
beating, and beat till it is well blistered.
Let this dough rise for twelve hours, or
till it is very light, and then knead it for
half an hour, using as little flour as pos
sible. Set the dough to rise again, and
in three or four hours roll out pieces IN
sheets the size of your shallow baking
pans and about half an inch thick, and
slice good preserved, canned, or fresh
peaches in thin regular slices over them.
If fresh peaches are used, sprinkle them
with sugar. Let the cakes rise for half
an hour, well covered up, and bake them
in a moderately quick oven. These cakes
are delicious hot or cold, and are served
like tart or pie by good German house
wives.-NeiO YorE Tribune.

LeprOsy in Europe.

We have no certain knowledge as to
the manner in which leprosy was con-
veved into Europe, but there is evidence
to The effect that in the last century be-
fore Christ the disease had established
itself in the Roman Empire. Its sub
sequent spread throughout Europe can
easily be accounted for; wherever the
Roman eagles went the germs of the dis
ease would necessarily accompany them.
From this source Spain, France and Ger
many sooner or later became infected,
and although there are no records which
enable US to trace the progress of the
malady in Europe during several hun
dreds of years afterward, the steps that
were taken to check its spread in the
seventh and following centuries suffi-
GENTLY indicate the alarming frequency
of the disease and the virulent character
it had assumed.
Leper hospitals would appear to have
been established in Norway somewhat
later than in other European countries.
History tells US that in the Frankish
Kingdom these institutions were founded
in the eighth and ninth centuries; in
Ireland, about the year $50; in Spain, in
1907; in England, in the eleventh cen
fury; in Scotland and the Netherlands,
in the twelfth, and in Norway, in the thil
teenth century. During and after the
Crusades leprosy spread with ex-
traordinary rapidity, and leper hospitals
were rapidly multiplied all over Europe.
It is estimated that in the twelfth century
there were 1000 such hospitals in France
alone and Is, 600 in the whole Christen-
dom. So terrible were the ravages of
the disease that it seemed as though
some altogether new plague had been
sent to punish mankind. Indeed some
historians have asserted that the leprosy
of the middle ages was introduced for
the first time from the East by those who
returned from the Crusades. As matter
of fact, however, leper hospitals existed
In England some years before any of the
Crusaders retraced their steps westward.
The Soldiers of the Gross doubtless
brought with them many cases of severe
leprosy, and an extremely virulent form
thus became engrafted upon the disease
already prevalent throughout Europe
