will retard the sound. 1t ID best to use
wooden pegs to put the box together,
though ! have seen many good instruments
which have been fastened with nails.
The hole should be carefully bored with
a small brad-awl, for if any of the boards
are split the sounding capacity Of the box
will be injured. Most of the boxes, how
ever, are fastened together with glue. and
also with pegs, and I am pretty sure that
these give a better sound than those hav-
ing nails or pegs only; but putting them
together requires great care. All the parts
should be fastened carefully and firmly
together till the glue ID dry, and q good
plan would be to first come the sides,
ends il the bottom, and when they are
firm to put on the top or chief sounding
board. The aeolian harp is constructed on
the same principle as the violin, and this is

The box should be placed nowhere except
where there is a draught. .
If catgut strings cannot be obtained, an
aeolian harp may be made BY following the
instructions given and using silk threads
Heavy threads are sometimes used for the
bass strings or low keys, and fine thread for
the high notes. l once, after great care,

Sometimes silk threads as we'll as catgut

nious as when one string after another is

scribed it ID the best Of all.

Sometimes when the air is not moving

DISCRETION AND DEATH.
Mrs. Alfred lure, in Search Of Her
Husband, Finds Ills Murderer.

SAN DIEGO. April 27.-1he killing OF Alfred
Hure In this city on the 9Th OF Dece mber was
singular occurrence; but the remarkable story of
Mrs. Alfred Hure, wife OF the deceased,
who was separated from her husband
eight years, and learned OF his tragic death
only few days ago, By accident, Is sill more
remarkable. Mrs. Hure is now In San Diego.
She arrived some weeks ago to visit friends, but
was in entire ignorance that her husband ever
resided here, or that he was not stu in The
land OF the living. The couple formerly called
Denver their home, bur Mrs. Hure went to New
York on II visit, and during her absence her hus.
band conducted himself In such q manner that
wrote her that he was going to San Francisco.
This was seven years ago, and not a line has
passed between husband aud wife since. few
months ago Mrs. Hurr, repenting OF her harsh
ness, decided to come West and find him. She
accepted ali invitation 10 visit friends here and
arrived about five weeks ago, and Saturday last,
while looking over copy Of the Union.
the widow read that the trial OF
A. d. Pearson, who killed Alfred Hure last De-
cemOcr, had been postponed. Size could hardly
believe that the Hure mentioned was her hus-
band, but thought 1t worth while to investigate
the matter. and made a call on Chief
COyne. The description which she gave
OF her missing husband fitted tho
dead Iestauraut-keeper exactly, and when the
widow called again at police headquarters to-day
with letter and photograph there remained NJ
doubt but that Pearson's victim and the Missing
Hure were the Same ana that her search was
sorrowiully and Unexpectedly terminated.
