Senator Gray, of Delaware, has some sensible ideas about reciprocal ty, and he has introduced a resolu- tion in the Senate authorizing the administration to open negotiations for the purpose of farming recipro- city treaties between the United States and Mexico, and the United States and Canada. Notwithstand- ing the fact that reciprocity treaties with those two countries would be of more real benefit to the people of this country than all of those propos- ed bv MT. Blaine with the South and Central American republics, there isn the slightest probability that the republican Senators will support Mir. Gtay's resolution. It isn't real re- clprocity that the republicans favor, but only an imitation that will serve for the time being to blind the voters of this country.

The iatWu C. the democratic par ty never looked brighter than il does today, and the rank and file of the party look, as they have a right to look, to the leaders of the party to exercise the greatest care to see that no step is rashly taken that will have a tendency to mar the brightness of that future. If such care be taken we have a reasonable right to expect not only to control the House of Re presentatives of the Fifty-third Con- gross and elect the next President, but also to have a majority in the United States Senate after Mach 4th, 1893.

There was comparatively little change made
until the zinke, German horn, was invented.
1t represents the introduction Of a number Of
openings to be covered and uncovered by the
fingers Such had been done before to q
limited extent but not so as to lead directly to
present forms. 1t was a simple twisted horn
Of metal with small mouthpiece and wide
bell, having stops ranged along one side This
for time gave satisfaction, but quickly
followed by the serpent. as it was called, made
in England. The convolutions Of the zinke
were designed TO give it length, confined within
convenient compass; the coils of the serpent
gave still greater length, and, in addition, it
had an increased number Of stops, and the
key" since so much adapted to flutes. fageo-
lets, &c. No material improvement in tone
was obtained, but greatly increased compass.
From these two dates The multiplied ton OF stops
and keys were made to such extent, and the use OF

ten feet or more long. 1t seems that the leng !h
Is of great importance. This was not unknown
il was the object of stops. Thus flute is of a
given length i. the stops are all closed. Now,

ened. This frightening and shortening gives q
lower and higher note, for the longer the sound
wave the lower the note and the shorter the
higher. The longer the instrument the lower
the note which may be obtained and the high
ones may be made by operating the stops.
