THE TRADE IN JEwsHARPs.
America Makes the Best and They Are
Popular I'm Mining Regions.

America Makes the Best and They Are
Popular I'm Mining Regions.
The cheapest jewsharps come from
Germany and Austria, the medium and
finer grades from England, and the
very finest are now made in this coun-
try. OF the total production, tvvo-thirds
or more are made in England. Jews
harps are made in standard sizes, rang
ing in length from an inch and a quarter
to four inches. They are occasionally
made to order larger than that, but a
tour-inch jewsharp is a good deal Of
jewsharp, and it may have a very mu-
sical tone. There are cheap jewsharps
which are sold at retail for n cent. A
four-inch imported jewsharp retails for
quarter of a dollar. An American
jewsharp of this size sells for so cents.
It's iron frame, or harp, is timed, and it's
steel tongue is tipped with brass.
Besides being made of many sizes,
jewsharps are made with the harp part
o. various ornamental designs. Jews
harps are not tuned to key; but harps
Of desired key may be found. Com
mercially jewsharps rank not as mu-
steal instruments, but as toys. Many
.jewsharps are, however, used as mu-
sical instruments, and are played upon
by men, and not infrequently in cop-
junction with musical instruments.
Jewsharps are sold more or less
throughout the country. Many are sold
in mining regions of the south and west
and wherever Hungarian and like labor
is employed. In such places it is not
unusual to find man playing pews-
harp while Others play accordions and
30 on.
The total sales of jewsharps in this
country are not 10 large as they for
merly were.-N. Y. Sun.

give express notice to the contrary

tinuance of their periodical the pub
Usher may continue to send it until
all arrearages are paid.
3. II subscribers refuse or neglect
to take their periodicals. from the
office to which they are directed, they
are responsible until they have set
tied their bills and ordered them dis
continued.
4. Subscribers moving to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former address, they are held re-
sponsible.
B. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima facie evidence
Of intended fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at the
end of the time they do not wish to
continue taking it, and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express
notice with all srrearages are sent to
the publisher.
z. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
anyone for fraud who take paper

Under the law the man who allows
his subscription to run along some
time unpaid. and then orders the
postmaster to mark it refused" and
have postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself liable to ar
rest and fine, the same as for theft.

Wasting Talk.

All human beings need instruction,
counsel, guidance in greater or less
degree. No one person knows or can
know everything. Some through age,
experience and wisdom are qualified to
be counselors and advisers. Others will
not do this. They are indifferent to
the welfare of those around them, and
allow them to go their way and take
the consequences. Others, more care
full and sympathetic, seek to save the
young from the evils and troubles
which their experience might bring
upon them. Often, however, they labor
in vain; their advice is unwelcome and
their words are wasted. It is useless to
try to pour water into a corked bottle,
or to give advice to some conceited
youth who knows 1t already, and who
turns up pretty nose, and goes on re-
gardless Of the counsel of friends,
parents or anyone else. There is one
school for such persons. It is dear
one. 1t Is the school Of experience. It's
lessons are enforced by blighted hopes,
ruined health, broken hearts; but 1t is
the only school in which certain per-
sons can be taught. They hate knowl-
edge. they despise instruction. Fool
ishness is bound up in their hearts, and
only affliction, disappointment and sor-
row can drive It from them.--Detroit
