The Action of a spinet.

The spinet instrument was animprove-
ment upon what was known as the eiavi-
chord, the tone of which, alissSy. weak,
was capable, unlike that Of the harpsi-
chord or spinet, of increase or decrease,
rejecting the finest gradations of the
touch Of the player. In this power OF
expression it was without rival until
the piano was invented. The early his
tory of the clavichord previous to the
Fifteenth century rests in profound OBJ
scurity, but it is said that there is one
bearing the date 1920 having four oc-
taves without the D sharp and @ sharp
notes. The spinet was the invention OF
the Venetian Spinetta.
The action is unique. The instrument
is similar to q small harpsichord with
one string to each note. The, strings are
set in vibration by points Of quills ele-
waited on wooden uprights known as
Jacks, and the depression of the keys
causes the points to pass upward, pro.
ducing tone similar to that OF harp
Springs are used to draw the quilts back
into position. The keyboard is arranged
in q manner after the present modern
piano.-Providence Journal.

shaving the Beard in Russia.

Peter the Great thought to civilize his
savages by making them shave and i'm
posed a tax Of 100 rubles on the wealthy
and middle classes and copeck on
peasants and laborers. Now it was
superstition among the poorer people
that no beardless son of Adam could
ever enter heaven, and being obliged to
part with their boards the great ma
iority treasured up their hairs to be
buried with their bodies. In dealing
with his soldiers the great Peter enlisted
the aid of the priests, who cunningly
pointed out the fact that they were 60
ing to fight the bearded Turk and that
their patron, st. Nicholas, would be un-
able to distinguish them from their ene-
mics unless they sacrificed their boards.
This was all right, and the boards OF
the beloved Russians went down before
the razor in Difference to st. Nicholas
But, unluckily for the priests, the next
little war happened to be with thu
Swedes, who wore no boards, and thus
it was that the Russian soldiers de
manded to be allowed to abjure thu
razor, SO that the holy Nicholas Nigh
have no difficulty in arranging for thei
protection. English Illustrated Maga

Character in the Walk.

To the attentive eye none Of the ordi-
nary gestures or movements betrays Pc
culiarities of individual character more
plainly than the gait-the sailors roll
ing. the soldiers stiff, the countrymans
iolting gait are Immediately recognized.
Slow steps, whether long or short, sug-
gest gentle or reflective state OF mind,
as the case may be, while, on the con-
trary, quick steps seem to speak of agi-
tation and energy. Reflection is revealed
in frequent pauses and walking to and
fro, backward and forward. The direc-
ton of the steps, wavering and follow
ing every changing impulse of the mind,
inevitably betrays uncertainty, hesita-
ton and indecision.
The proud step is slow and measured
the toes are conspicuously turned out
the leg is Strengthened. In vanity the
toes are rather more gracefully turned
| the strides little shorter, and there Il
! very often an affectation of modesty
i Tiptoe walking symbolizes surprise
curiosity, discretion or mystery.-Pal
| Mall Gazette.

Tuned It for Wagner. Music.

"Bill," said the piano merchant to the
man who swept the Office, 81 want you
to go down the street and tune piano
for family. They're in great hurry
or wouldn't ask you to do it, but the
regular tuner has gone for the day"
II can't tune pianos" replied the man.
"Oh, yes, you can," said the dealer
cheerfully. "Just open the lid and you'll
see a lot Of keys. Give 'em few twists
SO as to tighten the wires, thump on the
keyboard like crazy man for fifteen
minutes, charge them four dollars and
then come back in time to put the coal
in"
And the sweeper did it. That evening
the daughter Of the house remarked to
her tiance:
"How charmingly he tuned it'll was
never able to play Wagner's music sc
deliciously." New York Herald.

Two create,t Of stamp Collectors.

The two greatest stamp collectors in
the world were M. Philippe Ferrari, son
Of the late Duchesse de Galliera, and the
car, whose collection is said by experts
to be worth 100000 francs. He began
to make it when he was czaiowitz, and
has been adding to it ever since. M.
Ferrari, who cast away fortune, or
rather several fortunes which he con-
ceived to be i'll gotten and said he had
no right to inherit, boards stamps as
misers hoard money. He has quantities,
which he says will be valuable to his
heirs should he live to great age

similarity in the Names of Peers.

Several peers have names nearly alike.
There arc Lord Amherst Of Hackney,
and Earl Amherst. There are two peers
with only the difference Of a letter in
the spelling of their names-the Earl OF
Lindsay and the Earl of Lindsey, the
former being Scotch representative
peer and the latter an English peer.
There is only the difference Of letter
also in the names of Viscount Middleton
and Lord Middleton, but there is diff
ference in rank which makes the dis
tinction easy.
There are several instances in which
the territorial title is necessary to distin-
guish peers, the more notable being Lord
Stanley of Alderley and Lord Stanley OF
Preston, and Lord Howard de Walden
and Howard of Glossop. Formerly Lord
Willoughby de Broke and Lord VIII
loughby de Eresby sat in the house, but
the latter has been made an earl, ano
will henceforth be known as the Earl o.
Ancaster.-London Tt-Bits.

The Titles of Books.

A book title, like woman's face,
ought to be pretty. And if bewitch-
ing, diaphanous veil, in the shape of a
slight curiosity rousing cloudiness OF
meaning can be thrown over it, 80 much
the better. Readers delight to be half
taken in by books, just as men do by
women, 30 long-and this is most inn
portant proviso-so long as their vanity
is not piqued. The object of title
should be to seem simple, artless, naive
and quite naturally charming, but this
as in the case of SO many Of its feminine
analogues-is often to be attained only
by the most consummate art.-Black'
woods Magazine.

n.cant AupliCations Of Paper.

The year 1891 was certainly one OF
those in which new industrial applica-
tions Of paper were most numerous.
The idea Of using paper in place Of stone
in the construction of houses is already
old, but paper to take the place of glass
in windows, Of clay in fowerpots, Of
iron in railway rails, wagon wheels and
horseshoes, of porcelain in laboratory
ware, Of wood in barrels, it having al
ready taken the place Of that material
in small boats, paper in pulleys, are ap-
plications as novel as bold. The manu-
facture Of window panes Of paper was
first tried in the United States.
The panes have the appearance of
milky glass, and the property Of inter-
cepting the light rays while letting the
heat rays through, which makes them
suitable for greenhouses. It is estimated
that paper window pane ninety-four
by sixty-three centimeters in dimensions
| in wooden sash with iron appliances
will cost about eighty-6ve cents, and
last ON an average four years. - E

MouRNERs BY THE SEA.


By the side Of the sea three mourners pale
Sat idly watching an idle sail.
.Where sank your ship7" One turned her head.
..By the sweet Spice islands 1t lies" she said.
"And often fancy on days like these
Their breath floats to me DER southern seas"
.Where sank your ship?" by tempests tossed
On shore of amber and pearls twas lost'
..Oh, often dream Of its beautiful bed
And the rainbow CLEANS that are round 1t
shedi"
"where sank your ship2" Oh. wan. white face
Does she know not, then, her lost loves place!
..Mv shin sank not" she said, and cast
A tiny shell on the waters vast.
No balmy odors nor gems of price
Her dreams to its resting place entice.
Her ship lies frozen in arctic ice.
