A curious story Of a violin and its vicis
STUDIES is told by Will r. Dickerson of TBS
East Franklin avenue. About ten years
ago, when the Dickinson company occu-
pied a store room on Washington avenue,
s., between Nicollot and First avenue, s,
they had 90 cent sale. Dickerson, who
was young fellow at that time, with a
penchant for music and turn for tinker
ing, bought at the sale a violin, which he
took home with him.
Together with his chum he went to
work on the instrument, took it to pieces,
and after giving it a thorough oyerhauling
he soraped his initials, "W. r. D., on
the inside of the back and put it together.
A good job was done, for in short time
the newly put together violin was sold for
$40
A second time the violin was taken to
pieces by the second purchaser and put to-
gether, new coat of varnish being added.
Still another advance in price was effected
when the instrument was sold again and
went into lumber camp up north. Here
all trace Of 1t was lost for some time, but
one day while passing a pawnshop Mr..
DickersOn beheld violin in the window
which he thought he recognized. He went
into the shop and asked to SEQ it. Improved
to be the old 80 cent violin, and there on
the back were the initials he had scratched
there two or three years before.
The pawnbroker told him that it had
been brought into the shop by a man who
had evidently come from the woods, and
who, after a protracted stay in the city,
had become completely strapped. He had
advanced $3.50 on the violin, and it had
never been called for.
Tho instrument has passed through
number of hands since then and is now
said to belong to one Of the principal MEM
bers Of the Danz orchestra, who values it
SO highly that he has refused an offer Of

One of worth,s Tricks.

"Worth, the milliner, says London cor

of them was to trim deliberately the backs
Of ball dresses. 1t was thus impossible ia

at which time the dress was decided back

beauty. To work in rich stuffs glowing
with color was what he liked. If he had
been a pupil of Titan, he might have sur
passed that master. He had the visual
memory in an extraordinary degree and
could trust to his eye to take measure. ,
He did not care to work for customers who
needed to be built up by dress until lat
terly he saw his way to dress them becom-
ingly in liberty stuffs and enjoyed produc-
ing new effects Of drapery on mere skele-
tons.
Nobody understood better the effects
that could be produced with plain black
silk or satin dress. The price he charged
for such a garment was enough to take
ones breath away. What he said in ex-

1t is said on good authority that the
word tory" is derived from an Irish term
once applied to the most degraded and saw
age tribes that formerly inhabited north
and west Ireland. The word came into
general use in politics about the year 1879,
when there was a great fight in progress
between the court and country people ON
the question Of excluding the Duke of
York from the line of succession. Those
who opposed the bill were contomptuously
referred to as Tories, " while the friends
Of the duke retorted by calling their OPP
ponents Wings, the word "whig' being
a contraction Of the old Gaelic word "whig-
gamore which means a countryman, OF,
moro properly, a drover or swineherd
In the United States the term "Whig"
first came in vogue during the Revolution
airy war, it being applied to the American
or patriotic party, while the adherents of
the crown were referred to as Tories.
At about the opening of tho present cen
fury both words disappeared from the po-
litical vocabulary Of this country, and
were not taken up again until tho time Of
the presidential election Of 1882, when the
anti jackson party took the name Of
''Whig." Bishop, in giving the origin Of
the torn Wing, says that the early Brit
ons used the word "whiggam' in urging
their horses forward, just as tho modern
Jehu used get ep. He further says that
all British horsemen were once referred 10
as "whigs. st. Louis Republic.

The most trying time for sick person,

diminished, and the strength should there

some strong food, either soup or egg or.
milk, about midnight Meals should be
mado to look as tempting as possible and
the tray taken away as soon as the repast

DIDN'T LIKE BIG SLEEVES.
Our Puritan Forefathers Forbade Ladies' I
Wear Them Very Wide.

our Puritan fOreiathers Forbade Ladies 70
Wear Them Very Wide.
Dedham leaps into popularity, or at least
/ into notOricty, with a mighty bound,
| springing forward as if on a balloon, and
all by aid Of big sleeves. 1t appears, and
the press Of the land begins to ring with
the news, that long long ago Dedham set
her face nightly against the iniquity Of
/ pulled sleeves and the vain temptations
thereof, and with Puritan fervor and
promptness passed a law prohibiting them
A municipal statute Of Dedham Of the year
Of grace 1889 reads, we are informed:
"And be IL further enacted that here
after no person whatsoever shall make a
garment for women or any other sex with
sleeves more than half an ell wide in the
widest part, and so propOrtionate for big
ger or smaller persons. And for present
reformation Of immoderate great sleeves
and some other suporiiuitios which may
easily be redrcssed without much prejudice
or spoil of garments it is ordered, " etc.
"Half an ELI is not phrase used by
Felix or Doucot or any Of the rulers Of
sleeves Of this era. An ell is said by anti
guardians and others to be, in old English
measurement, about 10 inches This would
be a yard and nine inches To determine
tho length of an ell most women would
swiftly and cautiously measure tho dis
tAnce from the ends Of their noses to the |
extremity of their dexter thumbs, stretched
as far as possible on bias line away from /
their right shoulders. They would then |
add to this exact yard the nine inches |
which are well known to exist between the /
middle finger Of a woman who is busy /
sewing back and across over her hand to a |
spot ON the line of her wrist, which she
discerns by intuition, as the precise limit
of the quarter yard. Women always drop
their scissors from their laps and often
times lose their thimbles while making
this measurement, as it is very complex
and delightfully."- exciting.
The ell width which was forbidden by
the old Dedham statute was undoubtedly
this English standard ell of 40 inches. The
canny Scotch, being thriftier merchants,
used legally to sell 81 inches Of cloth for
an ell. To be sure, they had to buy it by
the same length, but that was matter Of
no consequence. Besides Flemish and
Dutch merchants, being thriftier still,
counted only % inches an ell

Dedham statute that it was not the wear

garments for women or any other sexi'
With ''immoderate great sleeves" who I

were to be offenders in the eyes OF the law.
Every woman and most men know that it
is the dressnallers and the tailors who lead
womaakind into these extravagances.
What Boston woman-yea, verify, what
Dedham woman of today or of 1852
would Of her own free will, unstimulated
by dressmakers' mandate, so spread her
shoulder cloth TO the breezes as If about
to mount and fly away with wings bigger
than dozen doves to a region where fash
ions are probably unknown "Angels'
sleeves Is OF course but a fguratiye ex-
preston for those trailing shoulder gar
ments which went out Of even their limit
ed vogue some time ago. They We're the
object Of much unangelio Objurgation, by
the way, during their brief earthly career.
The 'immoderato sleeves" of 1895 are
big enough, in all conscience, but nobody
expects any legislation against them.
Dedham is herewith warned against trying
to revive her ancient statute and put it
into practical working use. The "Old'
woman Of 250 years ago may have meekly
bowed to the decree OF ''syrant man" and
furled her sleeves at his bidding, but the
new" woman Of the present Is firm for
her inalienable rights" to DO rs fashion
able as she pleases, or can, and from Ded- |
ham to Brookline, from Dorchester to Mol |
rose and all over Boston there would arise
a cry Of protest If any man legislator |
should try to make a law against big |
sleeves. Boston Transcript

For variety of climate New Mexico leads
the other territories Of the Union. This is
due in part to her extent from north to
south, covering as it does seven degrees ef

borders, ranges from 1000 to Il, 600 feet
