COSTLY VlOlINS.
Some OF the Famous Instruments and
Those Who Make Them.
'all Mall Gazette.

coAno VA ehc TamouS Instruments and
Those Who Make Them.
Tho Amatis turned out Instruments of
great beauty, some, indeed, being OF in
descrioaple grace and finish, but the tone
is rather soft-small and without body"
as the violinist would put it-and for this
reason their violins do not command the
highest figures. A Nicola Amati may be
had for from Ga0 to $500, according to
Size, pattern, preservation, pedigree, etc.
a good Andreas Amati, moro suitable for
cnamoer than for ordinary concert use,
can DO got for $50. Andreas, who died
about 1877, was the founder Of tho Amati
family. Very few authentic instruments
or his make are extant, and those that do
exist arc not in high state of preserya-
tion. Nicola the grandson, was the
most eminent Of tho namo, and he Is be-
sides deserving of social honor as having
boon tho master of Stradivarius AL
though no worked, rs rule, on the small
pattern adopted by tho rest of the Amatis,
he mado somo very fine large violins-the
SO called grand Amatis''-which are al
most worshipcd in these days, and which
hold tho field in tho matter of prices.
Even during his lifetime his Instruments
wero In high reputc Charles IN of Franco
gave him an order for ID violins, violas
and 'cellos. for his private band
Before the French revolution 17Se)
most Of these Instruments could be seen
In the chapel royal, but after the days of
tho 9th nnd 9th of October 1890, they all
mysteriously disappeared, and their subse-
quent history Is uncertain. Ono of them,
cello, was sold in the early years Of tho
century to Sir William Curtis. 1t was put
up OF 600 guincas and bought in at $50
guineas. In 1879 the instrument belonged
to tho Rev. a. H. Bridges, who showed it
In the loan exhibition of that year
In Stradivnrius and Guarnerius del Jesu
we reach the zenith of perfection In violin
making. Tho Guarnorius family, like the
Amatis, consisted of several distinct max
ers, whose work is often confused. They
oil form an important branch of tho Gre
mona school, but when violinists speak of
Guarnerius they mean an Instrument by
tho last of tho raco-to wit, tho Joseph
Guarnerius who was born In 1857 and
who is designated "dcl Jesu," from tho
curious habit he had of putting q cross and
tho letters II. II. S." on his labels.
Guarncrius del Jesu stands next to Stra-
divarius himself rs tho greatest violin
maker tho world has over seen, and it is
with him that the art may be said TO have

BODlCES AND BASOUES.
Vests of Various Materials Much Worn.
Ripples Appear Again.

The basque bodices of tho season ore va.
riously designed. Some OF them arc closed,
somo arc open over IA vest or plastron and
others more or less full. All tho basquos are
very short, falling not below tho hips. The
bodice may be made Of wool goods like the
skirt, OF ottoman or broohe silk, of plain
or mixed cloth or Of velvet.
Almost all corsagos are very much trim
med in front. Tho adornment may consist
of large, fiat rcvors or of rovers rippled
plated or slashed in odd fashions. The
vests Aro plain when tho material OF which
they arc made Is broche or embroidered,

ting the vest stops at the first or second
dart. In those having loose jacket fronts
tho vest Is continued to tho under arm

cording to tho form of tho wearer. For
persons with wide hips 1t is necessary to

decrease the godots, while women who are
too narrow and slender look better with "a
great deal Of fullness at tho sides and back
of the corsage.
In order for ripple or godet basques to
keep their form they must be lined with
fine, flexible canvas. This must be fastened
against each scam and also to the lining of
the bodice at the waist or just below IL.
The canvas ought to bo fitted carefully to
the outside and sewed firmly in place, al
lowance being made for narrow hem or
fold ut the lower edge which will give tho
basque solidity. A lining OF thin silk must
be placed outside the canvas
Tho costume shown in the illustration
Is Of latania green liberty silk. The skirt
is trimmed around the foot with band Of
guipure embroidered with gold and steel
The bodice has short basques, brotellcs and
collar Of the Same sort OF guipure, and
guipure edges the large epaulets of russian
green velvet. The sleeves Of silk have cuffs
of guipurc at the wrists. The chomsetts
and high collar are Of white gauze.

When the Day VIII BE Month Long.

Do you know that tho day, which is now
only "a hours long, is slowly increasing in
length, and TINT 1t will eventually DO 90,
80 or even 100 hours in lengthp This
statement, strange as 1t may sound to one
who has never read tho results of observa-
lions made on that score, is beloved to be
true In every respect. Not only will the
earth's motion slow up until tho day will
DO one, two and three times us long as 1t
is at present. but this pace slackoning proc
ess will increase with time, until the day
will eventually be week or oven n month
In length. Tho 'rotarding medium"
which tho astronomers speak of as being
the cause of this phenomena, is not fully
understood at present. Professor Ball says
that 1t Is the friction Of tho tides which is
responsible for tho most of it. He urges
that tho time will como whom tho day will
DO II full year In longthl Others among
the investigators along this limo declare
that 1t will be absolutely impossible for
this day lengthening process to increase
beyond one lunar month.
This certainly looks plausible If wo con-
slider tho tides rs being tho cause Of the
trouble. However, Professor Boil, who
has long been astronomer royal of Ireland
and the greatest British authority on as
tronomy, knows Just about whereof he
speaks, and If he says the day must oven
tualiy lengthen o year wo had better pre-
pare for the nightless season without ask
ing any questions.-St. Louis Republic.

Ho Got What He Wanted.

An Englishman who camo over to this
country short time ago. bringing lottors
to number OF society people, very shortly
after his arrival was invited to dinner by
"a we'll known New Yorker and his wife.
In replying to the invitation, which he &C
copied, he added:
Permit mo to soy that I always drink
st. Julien olaret."
On the night of the dinner, as he took
his scat at the table, he saw that u bottle
of the wine that he had named stood be-
side his glasses. At the proper time red
vino from decanter was served to the
others at tho table, whorcupon the Brit
Usher turned to his host and said:
May inquire what that is that you
arc drinking?"
Certainly" was tho answer at is
chateau of 49, mentioning something
particularly choice. "Of course, 1 gave
you what you asked for, but 1 would not
think OF Offering such an ordinary wine to
my other guests. New York Journal

His Liberal Reward.

The champion mean man up town
seems to be young man who recently
advertised in the papers Offering Glib

book containing $50 in cash and some
valuable papers. Two young men found
the pocketbook in Norristown and called
at the losers house to return it He
handed one Of them 90 cents. The find

them 90 cents to come down from Nor

money to get home again. The fortunate
owner of the pocketbook dismissed them
