EOLIAN HARP.

An aolian harp is a very simple musica
instrument, which produces harmonic
sounds when placed in current of wind
To construct one intended to be placed in
window, make box of thin cedar, pine,
or other soft wood. Make it about five or
six inches deep, seven or eight inches
wide and of a length just equal to the
width of the window in which it is to be
placed. Across the top, near each end,
glue a strip of wood half an inch high and
quarter of an inch thick for bridges.
Into the ends of the box insert wooden
pins, like those of a violin, to wind the
strings around; two pins in each end. Make
a sound-hole in the middle of the top and
string the box with small catgut or violin
blue strings. Fasten one end of each
string to wooden pin in one end of the
box, and, carrying it over the bridges,
wind it around the turning pin in the op-
posite end of the box. The ends of the
box should be increased in thickness
where the wooden pins enter by piece of
wood glued upon the inside. Tune the
strings in unison and place the box in the
window. 1t is better to have four strings,
as described, but a harp with even sim
gle string produces an exceedingly sweet
melody of notes, which vary with the
force of the current of air that yibrates

An ESTIMATE OF ORATORY.

The candidate for Congress had been
making a speech in one of the towns of his
district where he was not well known per-
sonally and in the evening, while waiting
for train he strayed into butcher shop
and without saying who he was began to
pump the butcher to find out how he stood
Did you hear that speech this after
noon?' he inquired after some general
talk.
Yes, replied the butcher Il was there.
"What did you think of it,
'.Pshaw," said the honest butcher, I've
made a better speech than that Il hundred
time, trying to sell fifteen cents worth of
soup-bone.'

THWARTED BY A SMTGGLER.

Poor Ted, poor Ted, I'd give my COM
mission to see him again.
Captain Richard Debney of the British
navy, commander of the man war Cor
morant, was entertaining some friends in
the harbor of San Francisco, and the talk
turned upon Ted Dedney, his brother,
who had resigned from the navy several
years before, because he had chivalrously
prevented French cruiser from bOrin q
holes in wretchcd opium smuggling craft
Ted was impulsivc, brave, daring and
loved alike by his Superiors and his men.
'Havc you ever got on the track of Ted.''
''Oncc thought had, at Singapore, but
nothing came of it. No doubt he changed
his name. He never asked for nor got the
legacy which my peor father left him.
An hour later they were aboard the Cor
morant, dining with number of men
asked to come and say goodbye to Mostyn,
who was starting for England the second
day following, after Il pleasant cruise and
visit with Debney.
Meantime, from far beyond that yellow
lane of light running out from the Golden
Gate, there came vessel sailing straight
for harbor. She was a large, old-fashion-
ed cruiser, carrying guns, and when she
passed another vessel she hOistel the Brit
icho pSi Shn lnnl-nI lilo half oh
lete corvette Spruced up, made modern
by every possible device and all her ap-
pointments were shapely and in order
She was clearly a British man-of-war, as
good handful of marines; but her second
and third lieutcnants seemed unlike Eng
lishmen, and, indeed, one was an Ameri-
can and one was Il IIollander. There was
gun drill and cutlass drill every day, and,
what was also singular, there was boat
drill twice a day, SO that the crew of this
man -ofwar, rs they saw Golden Gate ahead
of them, were perhaps more expert at boat
drill than any that sailed. They could
lower and raise Il boat with wonderful ex
pertncss in bad sea, and they rowed
with clock-like precision and machnc-like
force.
Their general discipline did credit to the
British navy. But they were not given
to understand that by their commander,
Capt. Shewell, who had an eye like spot
of steel and a tongue like aloes or honey,

This was most noticeable when he was
shut away from the others in his cabin.
The eye became softer, and vet full of a
sort of genial deviltry; the body had a
careless alertneSs and elasticity; the whole
man had the athletic grace of Il wild ami
NAL, and his face had Il hearty sort of hu
NOR which the slight uplifting lip in its BIZ
zarrc disdain could not greatly modify.
The next evening, Just before dusk, after
having idlcd about out of sight of the sig
nal station nearly all day, Capt. Shewell
entered the Golden Gate with the Hornet,
of no squadron. But the officers at the
signal station did not know that, and sim
ply telegraphed to the larbor in reply to
the signals from the corvette that Il British
man-of-war was arriving. She came lcls
urely up the bay, with Capt. Shewell on
the bridge. He gave u low whistle as he
saw the Cormorant in the distance. He

HOW "TRILBY" WAS WRITTEN.

In an interview with Du Maurier pub

no idea that had any experiences worth
recording. The circumstances under
which came to write are curious l was
walking one evening with Henry James
up and down the High street in Bayswa-
ter; l had made James's acquaintance
much in the same way as l have made
yours. James said that he had great diff

well, on reaching home that night l
set to work, and by next morning I had
written the first two numbers of Peter

pen, without effort, in full stream But

any success would attend this new depar-
ture. SO l walked out into the garden,

large wheelbarrow, and that comforted me
and reassured me; for, as you will remem-
Der, there is wheelbarrow in the first
chapter of Peter Ibbetson'
"Some time later was dining with Os-
good, and he said, 4 hear, Du Maurier,
that you are writing stories, and asked me
to let him see something. So Peter Ib-
betson' was sent over to America and was
accepted at once. Then 'Trilby' followed,
and the boom came,-a boom which sur
prised me immensely, for never took my
self an serieut as novelist. Indeed, this
boom rather distresses me when l reflect
that Thackeray never had boom And

sign of the literary excellence, nothing
but money!"

1t was not by accident that the violet was
chosen by many nations as the exclusive
color for mourning, and by us also for half
mourning. Painters suffering from hys-
terra and neurasthenia will be inclined to
cover their pictures uniformly with the
color most in accordance with their con-
ditiOn of lassitude and exhaustion. Thus
originate the violet pictures of Manet and
his school, which spring from no actually
observable aspect of nature, but from a
subjective view due to conditions of the
verves. When the entire surface of the
walls in salons and art exhibitions of the
day appears veiled in uniform half-mourn
ing this prediction for violet is simply
an expression of the nervous debility of

Nearly everybody needs good medicine.
The impurities which have accumulated
in the blood during the cold months must
be expelled, or when the mild days come,
and the effect of bracing air is lost, the
body is liable to be overcome by debility
or some serious disease. The remarkable
success achieved by Hoods Sarsapailla,
and the many words of praise 1t has re-
ceived, make it worthy your confidence.
We ask you to give this medicine Il trial.
We are sure it will do you good. Read
the testimonials published in behalf of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, all from reliable,
grateful people. They tell the story.
