sioner from Washington. In this section
il is plainly declared that the seat of any
member who accepts office, civil or mill
tary, under the United States government,
or any other power, after such election
shall be vacated. Senator Drum s position
is undoubtedly civil one under the fed

not leave him the alternative of resigning
the federal office, but says his seat shall
be vacated. Probably there are other
members of the legislature who are in the
same plight as Drum and Barlow.

A eat storm wave is peculiar to cy-

the IL rcury in a good barometer may
be lover by three inches than that in a
similar instrument on the verge of the
cyclone. This is owing to the diminution
of atmospheric pressure consequent on
the rCtation of the air wheel; and as
nature abhors n vacuum, the sea in the
vortex rises above its usual level until
equilibrium is restored. This storm
wave advances with the hurricane, and
rolls in upon the low land like a solid
wall In the Backergunge cyclone of
1876 The storm wave covered the land at
the eastern end of the Ganges delta at
heights varying from ten to forty-five

institutions where playing Is taught, and
the instrument is used continuously for
ten or twelve hours every day. In the
latter case the felt portions will wear
out sooner than if it was used in pri-
vate family.
The matter Of tuning should not be
neglected. and should never be intrusted
to any other than an experienced person.
Incapable tuners very often work irrep-
arabic injury to the most perfect and
costly instruments. During the first
year a new piano should be tuned every
three or four months at least. After
that it will only be necessary to have 1t
tuned at longer intervals
Dampness is the most dangerous en-
envy the piano has to contend against,
and for this reason the climate must be
considered II the instrument is placed
in damp room. or left open in a
draught of air, the result will be that
the strings, tuning pins and the various
metal parts will become coated with
rust, and the cloth used in the construc-
ton of the keys and action becomes
swollen. 1t is positively painful TO play
on such piano. haries II. Steinway

A wonderful shoe shaped Violin.

The Paris Figaro announces the sale
of one of the most curious violins known
TO the music fanciers of the world. 1t is
now on exhibition in Paris, where the
American tourist can take peep at it
for few Confines 1t formerly be-
longed To Paganini, the great violinist,
and at first sight merely presents the
appearance of a misshapen wooden shoe.
Its history is curious. During the win
ter of 1888 Paganini was living in
maison de sante called Les Neothermes,
as Rue de la Victoria. One day large
box was brought here by the Normandy
diligence, on opening which he found
inclosed two inner boxes, and, wrapped
carefully in several folds of tissue paper,
a wooden shoe and letter stating that
the writer, having heard much of the
wonderful genius of the violinist,
begged, as proof of his devotion to
music, that Paganini would play in pub
lie on the oddly constructed instrument
inelosed.
AT first Paganini felt this to be an i'm
pertinent satire, and mentioned the
facts, with some show of temper, to his
friend. the Chevalier de Baride. The
latter took the shoe to a violinrnaker,
who converted it into a remarkably
sweet toned instrument. Paganini was
pressed to try the shoe violin in public.
He not only did so, but performed upon
it some of his most difficult fantasies,
which facts, in the handwriting of the
violinist, are now to be seen on the curl
