Old Wood for YiOlina.

When the old Pierce building, that had
stood at the corner of fremont and
Court streets for more than two hundred
years, was torn down six or seven years
ago, got lot of pieces of spruce joists
out of it to make violin tops. That's it,
now. Most people think violins are
made from some queer and costly foreign
wood. They are not. The top is of
spruce boards or timbers, and the strap,
the back and the scroll from curly maple.
The essential, however, is that the wood
shall have been seasoned for generations.
Cheap violins are made from wood that
has been seasoned only four or five
years. I want wood 100years old.
The old spruce is easier to get than the
old maple. For that we have to seek in
old farnhouses, where there are vener-
able chests of drawers and old fashioned
bedsteads of maple, with headboards
and footboards. We buy these for what
we can, but they cost a great deal, for.
people usually value them highly as heir
looms. The posts and frame of the beds
we can work into necks and scrolls, and
the headboards, etc., into scraps and
backs. Here is an old piece of board no
more than two feet long, as you see, that
l couldn't replace for five dollar BILL

Holes I'm the Air

a. Hennequin, of Paris, France, who
has had some experience in aerial navi-
cation. stopped in the city from San
Francisco on his way home. Mr.. Henne-
quin was in Fontenay at the time Tis-
sindier and Cover had their startling
adventure in balloon. The traveller is
an intimate friend of Cover, and tells
the story Of their fall of a mile as the
balloonist related it to him:
"They ascended from Tissindier's
house in Paris and floated off toward
Vincennes, and, as the wind was some
what strong from the northeast, the two
men soon disappeared from the view of
Paris, having risen to height of 1,500
feet. When they had reached Fontenay,
however, they were fully 5000 feet above
the earth. They were sailing along
smoothly, watching the scenes below,
when suddenly they seemed to fall into
hole in the atmosphere, and down they
went at terrific rate. Cover glanced
at the needle of the vertical scale. 1t
was travelling with lightning speed. A
roar filed their ears, and both men
thought their time had come.
Nothing had happened to the balloon.
1t was in perfect condition, but there
seemed to be no air to hold it up. Tis-
sindier desperately threw out sandbags.
They were falling SO rapidly that the
bags were left far behind and disappeared
above them. The earth seemed to be
rushing at them with the speed of
comet. There seemed to be no atmos-
phere left, and they could scarcely
breathe. As a last resort Tissindier
threw over the anchor and the remain
ing ballast, and the big balloon, after
rush of mile through the air, regained
its poise and they were saved. The
earth was but fifty feet below"
"This goes to show" continued Mr..
Hennequin, "that too much precaution
cannot be observed in carrying plenty of
ballast. There are in the air occasional
rarefactions, and when balloon once
gets into one of them it drops like piece
of lead. Cover and Tissindier sailed
into veritable pit in the air, and had
they not had lots of ballast aboard they
would have been dashed to pieces."-

The idea Of living in one room presents
to many Of Us a suggestion Of squalor and
discomfort, II not positive uncleanliness.
] have visited a number OF apartments Of
this character in Glasgow, Liverpool and
elsewhere which controvert the idea of
discomfort, or in truth of anything OBJ
noxious. 1t was my good fortune to be
taken through a number of such houses,
going into one and another without fur
ther warning 10 the occupants than a
knock, an introduction and request for ad-
mission. In every instance / found COM
fort, cleanliness and neatness, and l am
inclined to think that all this was largely
due to the arrangement and equipment of
the apartments. In the sketch which /

any one of the apartments visited, but
have merely tried TO give the essential feat
ures which lead to comfort and the possi-
bility Of neatness in quarters Of this char
acter.s
The buildings are usually four stories
high, the first story being occupied by
shops and the three upper floors by apart
ments. The floor plan herewith indicates
the three upper floors, or rather one-half of
each floor, there being four apartments on
each story approached by single stair
way. This sketch is drawn to center line,

Breaking 1t Gently.

In the province of Holstein, noted for
its superior breed of cattle, the country
people are not only very thrifty but ex-
ceedingly fond of their cows, as may be
gathered from the following character

Farmer Jan was walking sadly down
the road one day when the village pastor
met him.

pastor.
"Ah, have sad errand, pastor" said
Jan.
"What is it?"

pasture, and I am on my way to tell
him."

"Indeed it is, but I shall break it to

shall tell him that it is not his mother,

Value Of Diamonds.

The weight of carat is four grains
Troy, but the value of the diamond carat
is very uncertain quantity, depending
altogether on the quality, purity, cut
ting and size Of the stone. According
to a standard work on precious stones, a
well-cut diamond of perfect color, hav-
ing no flaws, Feathers" or other imper-
fections, is worth $40; one of two carats
is worth from $50 to 800; one of three,
$3.50; of four, $640; of eight, $1,000; of
ten, 81 500; of twenty, $4,000.
The valuation of stones of a larger
size is purely matter of fancy, depend
ing almost altogether on the wHims of
seller and purchaser, and even with the
small sized stones an almost inappreci-
able variation in tint will often make
an enormous difference in valuation.
Fashion also influences the price of dia-

Senator or Representative to be per-
sonally interested in any bill that comes
before Congress? Judges are not allowed

range were lined with blue and white TIL
ing. The heat and odors Of cooking passed
out through a ventilator at the top, which
could be opened and closed at will. The
plates, cups, ETC., instead of being mere
articles OF ornament, as usually found in
parlors, had their use in the every day culi-
nary operations.
Next to the range was little pantry
with white porcelain sink, wooden
table and hooks around the wall for uten-
sils, shelves on the other side for supplies
and below a galvanized lined iron recep-
tacle for fuel. The walls of the apartment
were provided with shelves. Under one
window was box to form seat. The
beds were set in an alcove, and a well
equipped closet was provided. Each apart
ment has its distinct entry from the hall.
On each entry door was brass plate with
the name of the occupant, and above a
knocker-all of which gave an air Of re-
spectability and character which does not
usually belong to tenement property.
In each hall in the plan given is arranged
closet for fuel. There are two water
closets on each floor. In the basement or
attic is usually arranged laundry, to be
used by the occupants of all the flats in
each section of twelve apartments Each
one has her time assigned for it's use, and
is expected to leave it in good order for the
next occupants. Assignments are also
made for the cleaning of the halls, which,
being small, is not laborious task. Light
in the halls is provided by the owner of the
property.
In some of the buildings of this charac-
ter which / visited the interior of all the
water closets and the public halls and pas
sages was lined with glazed brick and
white tile. The stairs and platforms were
of stone, and the floors were Of light con-
crete. The floors of the living apartment
were of hard wood.

30 that there will be two apartments on
the right of the ones here shown which
would be exact duplicates thereof By
this arrangement only one-half of the stair
way is shown, and only one water closet
and ash chute. Thus in four-story struct-
ure there would be two shops or stores in
the first story and twelve apartments above.
There is an approach to the rear stairway
from the front and q door opening to the
back yard. Sometimes an entire square Is
taken up with building arranged on this
plan, in this way affording economical ac-
commodations for a large number of peo-
pie.
The secret of the comfort which is ap-
parently afforded by one of these apart
ments lies in the fact that there is place
for everything within a narrow compass.
For this reason very little labor is required
in housekeeping. A very small part of the
energy required to care for larger apart
ment in very ordinary way will keep such
one as is here indicated in very neat
condition.
On entering one of these rooms on win
ter day one sees an open fire, mantel with
white enameled tile facing, neat shelf
and what appears to be bric-a-brac ar
ranged on the top thereof and ON little
sub-sheh below.
In one that have in mind there was a
neat clock in the center; a little cabinet box
with three apartments, such as one may
see in many parlors, at one side, and on the
other decorated vase and cup. Below on
another shelf were arranged some plates,
two of them blue and three others quietly
decorated. And yet below this was a little

mantel of the ordinary type, was range.
