The man who creeps along bent over,

deal to get out of this dilemma, and

is commonly known as backache, a
crick in the back, but by whatever
name it may be known. and however
bad it may be, lG minutes vigorous
rubbing with st. Jacobs Oil on the
afflicted part will drive out the trouble
and completely restore. 1t is thing

at why there is not more of it, but be-
cause it is so easily cured by st. Jacobs
Oil may be the very reason that we
hear so little of it.

An EoIian Harp.

To make an @olian harp construct a
box of very thin pine. cedar or other
wood, five or six inches deep, seven or
eight inches wide, with length equal
to that of the window In which 1t is to
be placed. Across the top, near each
end, glue 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 vio-
lin, 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 first fiddle
strings. Fastening one end of each
string to metallic pin in one end of
the box and carrying it over the
bridges. wind 1t around the turning pin
in the opposite end of the box. Tune
the strings in unison and place the box
in the window. 1t Is better to have
four strings, but harp with a single
string produces an exceedingly sweet
melody.
