Machine-Made Music.

Harp-playing by machinery is one of
the latest novelties. The harp is ar
ranged 80 tnat the plane of its strings is
horizontal, the instrument lying on the
table, after the fashion of either.
Then, as regards the written music, the
notation of the traditional stave has
been abandoned, and sheets upon which
are imprinted mysterious groups of num-
bers are used in its stead. When one of
these sheets is slid into frame made for
the purpose the meaning of the figures is
interpreted.
Each of them falls under a string of
the instrument, and by picking at them
in numerical order with Il bevelled pen
Gil of ivory the oper ator produces tune.
Time and phraslng are indicated by the
spacing and alignment of the numbers,
nor are the requirements of harmony
forgotten.
When the melody of the air is ad-
judged insufficient one of the figures is
accompanied by letter, indicating that
q button attached to the instrument, and
bearing the same symbol, should be at
this juncture pressed. This action, by
bringing a small saw of ivory points into
play, produces q cord suitable to the oc-
casion. Pail Mali Gazette.

All That is Needed.

In our physical needs we want the best OF

required to be done, to be done promptly and
surely, and those in pain, especially, will find
all that is needed in what is herein recon-
mended. Mr.. T. J. Murphy, 81 Debevoice pL

ed with sciatic rheumatism for some time past
and finding no relief, tried st. Jacobs OIL

did not relieve me. A physician was called
who ordered the limb to be poulticed, and he
gave me medicine internally, without benefit.

cured me. ltacted like magic. Mr.. Lorenzo
Buck, Bancroft, Shiawassee Co., Mich, says:
II had chronic rheumatism for years, con-
tracted during the war. After sitting or lying
down, at times, could not get up, from stif-
ness and pains. At work my strength would

I'm new man and walk without a cane. ~
Mr.. A. H. Cunningham, Perryopolis, Fayette

afflicted with lame back for several years.
She used innumerable liniments, but exper-
fenced little relief until st. Jacobs Oil was
to its wonderful effects and would not keep
house without it."

A State Banquet Relic.

Mrs. Harrison has made a number OF
most interesting discoveries within the
past year in regard to pieces of furniture
and articles used in the state dining
room, the result of her researches hav-
ing from time to time been noted through
these columns.
The latest thing in this line, and de-
cidedly one of more than usual interest
to the public, is in regard to the gold
bordered mirror lake which has figured
as the central ornament at countless
numbers of''state banquets. All that has
heretofore been known in regard to 1t
was that it had been in use for this pur-
pose far back in the early days Of the
Government when state banquets were
of less frequent occurrence, though none
the less ceremonial affairs, than those OF
the present day.
From papers containing undoubtedly
reliable information it has now been as
certained that the long mirror, with its
beautiful gilt bronze openwork railing,
embelished with figures, was purchased IN
France by the United States Minister in
accordance with an order to the effect
from the first President of the Republic.
Upon its arrival in this country the table
ornament was taken to Philadelphia and
first used by General Washington on the
occasion of a great state banquet at the
Presidential mansion in 179l.-Wash-
ington Post.

REPUTABLE Chicago florists have
adopted and published a resolution
denouncing persons in their trade who
visit homes afflicted by death and So
licit orders for flowers. 1t is doubt
full whether this commendable action
will be effectual for decency. A fam
fly that will listen to solicitor for
anything at such time will not listen
at another time to condemnation Of
what they are too insensible to resent.
The rejecting are falling more and
more into the habit not only Of re-
questing that flowers be not sent to
funerals but Of not using any. The
fact that the most beautiful Of ma
lures products soonest decay and that
the speedy change is vermicious makes
flowers inside coffin repulsive. Out
side they serve to rob death Of some
thing of its horror; but refined senti-
ment restricts their use even there.

Arion, the Young Trotting King.

After refusing many offers for the colt,
Senator Stanford, of California, has finally
sold Arion, the greatest two-year-old
trotter the world ever knew, for $780,
900 to J. Malcom Forbes, of Boston,
Mass. The price is the highest ever
given for one piece of horseaesh, Axtell
having previously held that record with
$1O5, 900. Arion was foaled on March
13. 1886, and two months ago trotted q
mile in 2:104 at Stockton, Cal. The colt
flashed like a meteor across the horse
armament and at the outset gave promise
of becoming a record breaker. Early in
the summer, when he marched to rec.
ord of 2:254, the effort was so easy that
all who saw it we're convinced that Elec-
tioneer's greatest son stood before them.
Even Charles Marvin, who knew he had
a phenomenal youngster, did not antici-
pate such results. He gradually pre-
pared the colt and gave the public con-
elusive proof that Arion was race horse
as we'll as speedy trotter, the youngster
making a record of 2:21 in race. Arion
was prepared for trial against the
watch. Those who we're present were
hopeful that 2:1S would be equaled or
beaten, but even their fondest expecta-
tions were surpassed, Marvin driving the
colt from wire to wire in 2:154 without

A Murderous Shell.

It is reported from Munich that the
new explosive which has been adopted
for the German artillery makes a shell Of
most murderous effectiveness. The best
shells used during the Franco-Prussian
war only covered an area, when e3-
ploded, of some forty PAGES, and in
bursting seldom injured more than seven
or eight persons. Experiments with the
new she'll 60 to show that it will de-
stroy everything within an area of 600
feet. Some of the fragments will be
large enough to kill a map, others al
most invisible and calculated to merely
excoriate the skin. In an experiment an
enormous target was riddled with thou
sands of holes by the bursting of single
shell. Four shells were sufficient to
sink an obsolete lronclad used as tar

Wood Mosaic Industry.

The wood mosaic industry is carried
to great perfection in France. The scale
of colors is extremely rich, as no less
than 12,6 900 different shades can be used,
so that all descriptions of paintings can
be faithfully reproduced in this way.
The great advantage of this mosaic is
that IN case the colors should fade they
can be restored to their original freshness
by planning, because the fbers of the
wood are entirely permeated with paint.

with the grain at right angles, so that no

the youngster making skip or break.
But all records were surpassed when
Arion travelled mile in the wonderful
time of 2:104.
Horsemen the world over were aston
ished, and the expression was general
that if any horse ever succeeded in TAX
ing second off two minutes at the trot-
ing gait that horse would be Arion. His
performance more than satisfied Leland
Stanford, and Marvin. the trainer, was
ordered to take the colt home to Pslo
Alto, Cal.
Arion is by the immortal Electioneer,
sire of 100 performers in 2:3O or better,
out of Marion, by Nutwood. Marvin
said that Arion was the best horse he
ever pulled line over. He was not
only phenomenally fast, but was level
headed and game into the bargain.
Many persons have been estimating
Arion's value, taking Axtell's price as
standard. Axtell, whose record when
a year older than Arion was 2:12, or q
second and quarter slower than the
Palo Alto champions at a year younger,
sold for S1O5, 900. Ariel Lathrop, Sena-
tor Stanford's brother. .in-law, and Joseph
Cairn Simpson figure on this basis that
Arion is worth $3.50, ,000.-Chicago

The Economy of Generosity.

It was a maxim of Lord Bacon that.
when it was necessary to cconomize, it
was better to look after petty savings
than to decend to petty gettings. The
loose cash that many persens throw away
use.essly and worse would often form a
basis of fortune and independence for
life. These wasters are their own worst
enemies, though generally found among
the ranks of those who rail at the injus-
tice of ''the world But if man will
will not be his cwn friend, how can he
expect that Others will? Orderly men of
moderate means have always something
left in their pockets to help others;
whereas, your prodigal and careless
fellows who spend all, never find an op-
portunity for helping anybody. 1t is
poor economy, however. to be scrub.
Narrow-mindedness in living and in deal

and liberality, like honesty, prove the
best policy after all.-Smiles's Self Help.

This treatment for influenza is due to
a,Bavarian priest, says the London Stand
ard. "Go to bed at once; wash your
neck, chest and the whole upper body
with very cold water, and tie 3 dry linen
towel about your neck. Cover yourself
warmly, but not too heavily. Continue
10 wash yourself in this manner every
hour for ten hours. Then completely
wash over the entire body with cold
water as rapidly as possible. After this
complete lavation,' proceeds the old
priest, there broke out such violent
perspiration that the patient was
drenched with it all over as he lay in bed,
and with this persipiration the last re-
mains of the disease were likewise swept
away; the patient had regained his for

THE MINISTRY OF THB SAINTS

Achia, says that they addicted themselves
to the ministry of the saints Cor. 16 IT,
The word is not coufned to service as min
listers of the gospel, though this is not e1-
cluded; it rather implies that general minis
tering to Christ's people, which is the duty
and privilege of Christians.
Reader, what do you know about this
ministry of the saints?" Perhaps you shut
yourself up in your own house, among your
own conveniences and comforts. Perhaps
you seldom think Of that large
portion of Gods people who are in
want, infirmity, and sorrow. Perhaps you
have never known the luxury OF
conveying blessings to the poor with your
own hands, or giving consolation to the be.
reaved with your own lips. Then am bound
to tell you, you are living amiss. We are mem.
bers one Of another. No one, unless himself
q helpless sufferer, is exempt from the service
of charity. We are to bear one another's
burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
