The Shoe Violin,

A Paris newspaper recently announced
the sale of one of the most curious vio-
Inns in the world. It formerly belonged
to Paganini, the great v~iolinist, and at
first sight merely presents the appear
ance of a %misshapen wooden shoe. Its
history is curious, and not without in
terest.
During the winter of 1888 Paganini
was living in Rue de Ia Victoria. One
day a large box was brought there by
the Normandy diligence, on opening
which he found two inner boxes, and,
wrapped carefully in the folds of tissue
paper, a wooden shoe and a letter,
stating that the writer, having heard
much of the wonderful genius of the
violinist, begged, as a proof of his de-
votion to music, that Paganini would
play in public on the oddly constructed
instrument ipclosed.
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 violin maker, who
converted it into a remarkably sweet
toned instrument, and Paganini was
pressed to try the shoe violin in pub
lie.
He not only did so, but performed
upor it some of HE most difficult fanta-
sias. which facts, in the handwriting of
violinist, are now recorded on the violin
itself.ANew York Telegram.

ssMake Hens Lay.O


Such is the caption OF an advertisement
that appears not only in the local, but many
leading agricultural papers and which sug.
gests the propriety of a few thoughts upon
the subject. The advertisement referred to
recommends Sheridan's Condition Powder
to make hens lay and so do we" says Mr..
Hunter, poultry editor Of the N. E.
FARMER. IA hen to lay prolihcally must
be in perfect health, must be in condition,
and here is based the truetheory OF the value
of Sheridan's Condition Powder-itpromotes
the general good health Of the fowl, gently
q~uickening digestion and stimulating all the
various organs Of the body as we'll as the
~ovaries, to perform their functions" At
this season of the lear the use Of Sheridan's
Condition Powder is very valuable for mott
ing hens and young pullets. BY its use now
they will get to laying earlier when the
price for eggs is very high. Any person buy.
ing and using Sheridan's Condition Powder
now, will get their hens in good laying con.
dition before cold weather, and stand 9

A Christmas Dinner.

A we'll dressed but ~impecunious indi-
vidual entered a not very pretentious
looking restaurant IN Christmas Day,
and, marshaling all the dignity he could,
ordered the waiter to place his best
Christmas dinner before. He ate raven
ously. and every ouce in a while cast tu'
tive chances at the door, as if calculating
how may steps it would take to get out
side Of it.
After partaking of his meal, he walked
to the cashiers desk with the air of a
millionaire, aud, placing a ten-dollar
Confederate note before the eyes of the
astonished clerk, SAID: "Change,
please" .'Why. that's nc good" said
the cashier. "Well, neither was the
dinner" answered the well-dressed but
:mpecunious individual, who with a hop,
skip and jump, went into the outer or
and was lost to sight for svermore!

A TURKISH KITCHEN.

A ~stone-hagged floor, one or two
tables, and rush-seated stools, a marble
fountain and basin at one side. and
across the whole end of the roo a
cavernous arch, gathering up the smoke
of half-dozen tiny charcoal tres,-these
are what one sees in a Turkish kitchen.
The great arch and the stone bench or
ledge under it, with its minute freplaces
heating each its kettle or stew-pan, forms
the ojak or range, and is equipped at one
end with a copper cauldrou and at the
other with a brick oven. Around the
walls hangs an imposing array of shining
copper saucepans, and sometimes there
stands in the corner a huge terra Gotta
amphora of antique pattern, to serve as
w~ater-cooler when the cistern is low or
the aqueduct runs dry. In this primitive
~atelier, the turbaned chef tanning the
microscopic freplaces with a turkeys
tail, or damping them with ashes to keep
the stew at a gentle simmer, concocts his
savory chorbas. his toothsome pilafs aud
well.seasoned dolmas, with results which
no epicure ventures to despise.-NsW

Lightning Conductors.

DR.. Hess, who has been collecting sta.
tistics and has examined the tips of
many lightning rods, finds that fusion of
the points never occurs. A fine smooth
point receives the lightning in a concen-
trated form, while angled or ribbed, as
we'll as blunt points, divide it into
threads. DR.. Hess considers that plati-
mum needles and tips are entirely unnec-
essary, for they have no advantage over
copper points; but as there are light.
ming strokes which are capable of making
wire O.2O inches thick incandescent, I'M
branchea copper conductors should never
be of less diameter than this, though in
a good lightning rod the main point is
to secure perfect communication between
it and the earth.-ScientSfe american.

DOdging Bullets.

During a shooting match in presence
of. the Governor of Candahar the latter
noticed to his astonlshment that the
heads of sparrows were the favorite butt
of the marksmen, who but seldom missed
their aim. Whereupon he declared
that it was far more difficult to hit an
egg. Sir Peter laughed at the SUPPOSE.
ton, but the Sirdar stood his ground and
the matter vas put to the test. Az egg
was suspended on a wall and the soldiers
fred at it, but strange to say not one OF
them hit the egg.
The Governor and his suit kept their
countenances' and excused the non-suc.
cess Of the firing party on the ground oil
the difficulty Of the thing. At last a
ball happened to hit the thread to which
the egg was fastened and it fell to the
ground without breaking. Now the
mystery wa solved the cunning Afghan
had used a blown egg, and the feather
weight shell had been moved aside each
time by the current of air in front Of the
ball and thus escaped being hit.-1ag.
