While the convention was laboring
under this head a telegram was received

years ago, dated at Medicine Lodge, and
it reads:

common in the northern states than in the

The latter is often the most economical

Violns and mandolins of porcelain

well-known manufacturer of the Mes
sein okarlnas and porcelain organs
has invented process for the manu-
facture of mandolins and violins from
clay. Some violins have Flready been
completed, and the inventor has ap-
piled for letters patent In different
countries. Under this process the vlo-
Inns are cast, and every violin Is guar
anteed success and to be excellent
for producing music. The latter quail
ity constitutes precisely the chief
value Of this invention. The porcelain
body, 1t is claimed, Is better able to
produce sound than n wooden one,
since 1t co-operates in the production
OF sound, making the notes soft and
full. The mandolin. much played In
southern countries, Is also made of
porcelain and the musical sound OF
this instrument is likewise stated to
be improved. In shape the porcelain
violin Is an exact imitation of the
wooden instrument, but as the porce-
lain violin is very suitable for decoTa-
ton It IS very likely that costly in
struments of luxury win be asked for,
ms is the case with the okarinas. 1t is

possess the further advantage over
the wooden ones that they are totally

black or colored, embroidered in gold
and studded with gems. sometimes
worked up into a design, at others
forming rows of varied colors placed at
regular intervals on the band, says the
Philadelphia Telegraph. All the shops
sell sets of such, comprising waistband
throatband and cuffs, so that they can
be wcrn with any dress. They are
equally suitable to day and evening
wear, for it is not at all unusual to
see the broad throatband adopted for
low dinner or theater dresses.

is the duty of the physician in charge
of the office to examine these appli-
cants for clean bills of health and see
II any trace of the infection remains.

no doctor in the Office for an hour at
time. This works a hardship on

In Compartments. of Course.

The Midland Railway company OF
England have recently purchased four
Pullman sleeping cars for use on their
system. The car was dispatched to
England in sections and the parts re-
assembled at the railway works. The
car is divided, one portion of it being
provided with five staterooms. each of
which is supplied with bed, folding
washstand and usual appurtenances.
The remaining portion of the car is a
general saloon and is only converted
into a sNSeping apartment at night by
making up the berth between the two
seats. All the berths are on the same
level. the company having abandoned
the idea of placing one berth over the
other. A smoking saloon and buffet
are attached. A charge OF SIPS is
made for the use of this saloon in addi-
tlon to the railway saloon.
