The New Yorker who failed to see the

the waters Of the harbor missed sight
that It would be almost worth while to go

idea Of what good bodybuilding requires
the lines Of the Viking are said to have
been very satisfactory, and the soundness
Of their judgment is established by the
achievement Of the vessel in crossing the
Atlantic against unfavorable winds, sound
and safe MS an ocean going steamer. But
even to one with no claims to expert knowl-
edge the vessel IL very beautiful. 1t is easy
to see in her the justification of her chief

did not ship water over her open sides;
NO. Her model is so perfect, her lines SO

But what impresses the ordinary observer
is the courage Of their conviction shown by
the crew Of q dozen modern Norsemen,
who, persuaded that the original on which
the Viking was modelled was seaworthy,
and that what their ancestors had done
they could do, took this little vessel, with
out deck, with broad oar for rudder,
with a single mast and sail, with no room
aboard to swing hammock, and barely
sufficient to store the needed supplies, and
sailed her over the course that they be-
heved the ancient n orsemen had sailed with
like craft centuries before the discovery
which all the world is celebrating at Chi

A noticeable feature of the anglomania
which prevails in New York is the employ
ment of cockney attendants by some OF the
prominent clubs. They have managed to
surround the admission of an unintroduced
stranger to tho club precincts with an
amount Of ceremony that would suffice for
the vestibulo Of the grand llama. A gen
tleman from Philadelphia called to see a
friend who is member Of one of the up
town establishments.

Twas delighted to see that the bride paid
her bridegroom the compliment of hooking
bright and happy and full of life and fun
as she left the church with him. 1t was
pleasant to see two such happy faces as his
and hers. Even when walking to the altar
Miss Lethbridge did not affect that absurd
droop of the head that some brides think il
necessary to adopt, as though they were
following their own funeral.

exaggerated as to be quite laughable. 1t

time that such relics of the days OF "sensi-

At the same time there is an opposite ex-
treme to be avoided / remember one
bride, an actors daughter, who simply
raced her wretched father up the aisle, max

ing after them in lively canter brought
tears of delicious mirth to my eyes. One
would suppose that the bride was afraid

pause in front of him, composing them

A Stradivarius violin was sold the other
day for ss6o, that being the highest price
yet secured for fiddle in the auction room.
This fact has caused some inquiry to be
made into the rapid rise in the value of the
yiolins OF the great Cremona maker, whose
workshop Mr. Edgar Bundy has SO graph
ically depicted in n painting in the Royal
Academy exhibition. 1t seems that fine
"Strad' was sold in 1905 for el0O, but by
1857, when the late James Godings collec-
tion was brought to the hammer at Chris
ties n Stradivarius violin fetched 200, and
viola by the same maker G212
In 1879 u "Strad,n since rechristened by
its fortunate owner THE Emperor" real
lied 1890 at the sale Of the collection of Mr..
elliott, the penmaker, and it would prob
ably not now be parted with for four times
that amount. The auction price of n
"Strad' has since reached 1850, and it is
quite possible that before the present cen
ttiry is over the sum will pass into four fig
nres, while the price at the fiddle fancier's
is already good deal higher.
1t seems that the increase of cost is due
partly to the demand for old violins from
the United States, partly to the wish of
every violinist of note to possess at least
one example of the famou maker. DIR,
Joachim, for instance, has thrse.-London
