The curious affection for old Oremona
violins, tenors and BASES is by no means
a modern fancy. The Stradivarius vio-
lin, which my excellent father gave me
when 1 was 10 years Of age, was priced
at 100 guineas in 1924. But, to go still
farther back, we were told by the Eng
hsh newspapers that in September,
1878, there was sold by auction at Ores
den the famous violin of Count Traut-
mannsdorf, grand equerTy to the EN-
peror Charles vi, which he had pur-
chased direct from the celebrated Tyro-
lean maker, Jacob Stainer. He paid
him down in cash 20 golden crowns
and undertook to provide the vender as
long as he lived with good dinner
every day, as well as 100 forms a
month in cash and every year a new
coat, with golden brGndenburghs, two
casks of beer, lighting and fuel, and,
in case he should marry, as many hares
as he might require, with - baskets
of fruit annually for himself and as
many for his old nurse (housekeeper).

WORDS WITHOUT A RHYME
English Language Contains Several Which
Are Hard to Run Against.

English Language Contains Several Which
Are Hard to Run Against.
There are dozen words in the Eng
lish language in everyday use for
which enterprising people have de-
SPARED Of ever finding rhyme. The
word month, . for example, is one Of
these. "Silver" is a word it seems
very easy to secure rhyme for. but as
matter of fact, trying to find something
to rhyme with ''silver" nearly drove
London writer of verse insane long ago.
AS a last resort he advertised in the
newspapers and received but one reply.
1t came from the master of verbal con-
tortion, W. S. Gilbert, Sir Arthur Sui
livan's erstwhile partner, who submit
ted the word 'chilver." He wasn't
quite clear, he said, as to what chill
yer might be, but he had seen the word
in advertisements of sales of farm stock
and had an idea, which is correct, that
it described species of sheep.
HOrange" is another word without
rhyme. Gulf is also without an Eng
lish partner, and ''culm" and "cusp"
are alike solitary. Many poets who have
sought in vain for rhymes to revenge"
and "avenge' will not be appeased
when they learn that but two exist
''penge' and "Stonehenge "Coif"
is now, happily for versilers, growing
obsolete, for there is no word which
rhymes with it. "Scarf" has been dar-
ingly linked at the end of line with
''half" or ''calf,' but this is a practice
to be discouraged. "Scalp" rhymes only
with "Alp," but like "babe" and
"astrolabe, " it would require much in
genuity to find an excuse for bringing
these words into juxtaposition. False"
has on several occasions. by an abuse of
poetic license, been associated with
'valse, /" though the correct French pro-
nunciation of the latter word would de-
stroy the rhyme.
Of the names Of places the African
town of Timbuktu has long been ia
nous for being without rhyme The
nearest success that any poet has ever
! attained i'll this respect was when in
some old verses describing desert hunt
"cassowary" was made to rhyme with
missionary" and "Timbuktu" with
"thin buck too. New York Press.

He Had Some StereOtyped Ornaments
Which He Used Quite Freely.
Among the stereotyped ornaments of
his eloquence was favorite reference
to "the majestic mountains and fertile
valleys of green Ireland" Once at
AthIone, in the very center of the fat
test part of Ireland, he exclaimed in the
peroration of patriotic speech, Look
around, my friends, ON the majestic
mountains, etc. - compliance with
which request would have severely tested
the optics of his audience.
Another time, when Boosting at the
Corn Exchange Of the great attendance
at meeting he had recently addressed
at Kilkenny, he outdid Falstaff's II men

no man say that they gathered merely
from a feeling of personal regard or
curiosity ON my account. 1t would be
absurd to suppose that 100, 900 men
would leave their homes to look at an
elderly and rather corpulent gentleman.
No, sir, when that peaceful army Of
100, 900 Irishmen congregated round
me, their presence spoke, trumpet
tongued, their firm resolution never to
desist from the struggle until Ireland
should have her own parliament again.
''And their multitudinous masses
were as orderly and pacific as they were
resolute and determined. Oh, with
what unspeakable delight do l recognize
in the conduct of those 200, 600 noble
fellows" etc. And thus sailed along,
upborne upon the swelling tide Of his
imagination, each sentence adding at
least 80, 900 to the previous amount

The future of the moose, Oldest and
noblest of the game animals ON this
continent, is matter that has interested
good many people. Mr.. Braithwaite,
who has lived among these animals all
his life, says there is no danger of their
diminution in New Brunswick. They
shed their antlers before the snow be-
comes deep in winter, and the sports
man who endeavors to carry away a
hornless moose is always roughly dealt
with by the magistrates down in the
settlements. The only relentless enemy
of the moose is the lumberman, who in
the depth of winter can make good use
of the meat But in the region which is
the subject of this article there is little
lumber, and so there are few lumber
men. The degenerate Indians Of the vii
lagos seldom trouble themselves to hunt,
and the few moose killed by hunters are
as nothing compared with the young
ones destroyed by the bears. Bruin gets
trapped because his coat will average
$40 to his captor There are no wolves
in this wilderness, SO the prospects for
the moose are getting better instead Of
worse. And if there are thousands Of
moose, there are tens of thousands of
caribou. Frederick Irland in Scrib-

SAND SUCKERS.
Old Hulka That Are Probably utilized
In New Industry.

OAu AnHt are lTouNADly lllklLcQ
In New Industry.
As the steamers pass along St. Clair
fats, between Lake Huron and Detroit
river, the passengers see numbers of old
hulks anchored off in shallow water and
invariably ask the steward or one of the
deck boys what they are there for. The
answer always is given in gruff and
contemptuous tone, as if it were a FOOLS
question:
They're sand suckers. "
"What's a sand sucker?"
"Old tubs that suck up sand"
'How do they suck up sand9"
Then the oracle looks at you and
grins He doesn't quite know whether
you re farmer yourself or are guying
him, and it takes a great deal more
questioning to find out the fact that
new industry has been found to utilize
ancient and leaky huIks that are not fit
to go to sea.
The bottom of Lake st. Clair and the
fats that surround il are covered with
beautiful white sand, and these boats
go ont every morning, anchor in a IA
NOItbDlt pldC6 near the channel, ana
drop overheard large hose pipes of can
vas or rubber, with iron tips, which
sink of their own weight Then they
set the pumps going and suck up the
sand. which brings good deal of water
with it, and is deposited in the bottom
of the boat. The sand sinks, and the
water rises to the surface and returns to
the river through holes pierced for it's
accommodation. Thus, before sunset
the matches are filed with pure, clear
sand at a nominal cost, which is I'M
loaded on the docks at Detroit and sold
for building purposes
In early days there was community
of Frenchmen who made a business Of
gathering this sand and hauling it to
the city, but they had to work very
hard because of their ignorance of by
draulics and their lack of boats. They
poled and rowed up flatboats, which
they would fill by jumping overheard
i'll shallow water and shoveling in the
sand. They would work month with
the water up to their waists and not get
as large cargo as a modern sand sucker,
operated by two men, can pick up in a
single day. Chicago Record.

The Democratic Way.

No transaction in the history of the
government invited such adverse criti-
cisms and comments all over the coun-
try as the bond transaction in February,
1895. Americans were Inundated to see
a syndicate virtually take possession OF
and enter into contract to manage the
finances of the government for six
months. The best opinion of people on
this subject was that this government
should have made the profit that the
syndicate made, and I hold now that
the people would have bought bonds
from the government just as readily as
they did from the syndicate, only the
opportunity was not offered them. =

Meek and submissive to my lightest frown."

To your brown eyes, where darkly written lie
