The Action of n spinet.

The spinet instrument was an i'm
provement upon what was known as
the clavichOrd, the tone OF which. al
though weak. was capable, unlike that
of the harpsichord or spinet Of in
crease or decrease. rejecting the finest
gradations of the touch OF the player
In this power OF expression 1t was
without q rival until the piano was in
vented. The early history Of the claw
chord previous TO the fifteenth century
rests in profound obscurity. but 1t is
said that there is one bearing the date
1920 having four octaves without the
D sharp and G sharp notes. The spinet
was the invention OF the Venetian Spi-
Meta.
The action is unique. The instrument
IS similar to small harpsichord, with
one string to each note. The strings are
set in vibration by points Of quilts ele-
waited on wooden uprights known as
Jacks, and the depression of the keys
causes the points TO pass upward. pro-
ducing a tone similar TO that OF harp.
Springs are used to draw the quilts
back into position. The keyboard is ar
ranged in manner after the present
modern piano.

The English PeeraGe.

Not one representative in the male
line of any one of the barons who sign
ed Magma Charta now sits in the house
of lords, while. although many of the
earliest knights of the Garter were
subjects of the English king as feudal
lords in his possessions in the south of
France, not a single title in the peer
age is taken from any place south Of
the Loire, and two French duchies.

empire, one or two imperial countshps
and the Spanish. Portuguese and Meth
erlands titles held by the Dukes of Wei
lington and Portland and Lords Abe
marie and Clancarty probably all but
exhaust the list of foreign honors held
by any persons in the British peerage
Our monarchs, as Queen Elizabeth
once said, have always preferred to
decorate their own dogs with their own
collars, and perhaps the results are to
be commended. After all, as Talley-
rand remarked, Lord Castlereigh. who
was undecorated, looked the most dis
tinguished man at the congress of Vi
enna.-Notes and Queries.

laughed Ike that. But, yes, it was
his voice, and it came from the girls
rooms.
Hastings hesitated. And now the
girl laughed. 1t was the same saucy
little laugh he had loved so much in
the days gone by. 1t decided him.
She had stolen his property and should
answer for the theft. He knocked
boldly on the door.
Silence. He knocked again. Evil
IDENTIFY they did not hear him. So he
turned the knob and entered the for
hidden chamber.
Surprising sight! On the floor In
true Turkish style sat the stately Miss
Trevor. On her lap were big sheet Of
cardboard and sundry brushes and
paints. Her hair was disheveled. and
several daubs Of color ornamented her
cheeks and nose. Over her shoulder
in state of great excitement leaned
the truant Hastings hardly knew him.
His cheeks were flushed, and his eyes

ed lovingly on her shoulder. Evident
~ she had won his heart too.
Hastings felt swift pang Of jeal-
ousy and started forward.
Then they heard him, and Jack
sprang up with a cry of delight.
The girl was too loaded down to
rise, and so she sat there. Perhaps it
was the sudden flood of color to her
cheeks, perhaps 1t was the upward
glance of her eyes; at any rate, sud
den light came to Hastings. For mo-
ment he stood there blinded, dazed
Then his customary coolness came to
his aid. 1t was his turn to carry things
with a high hand, and he must make
the most of it.
His eyes challenged hers as he said
How long have you been a receiver
of stolen goods, Miss Trevor? | am
glad to see that you have the grace to
blush for your sins, even under your
paint"
Jack was quite shocked. "She did
not steal me-" he protested. Il was
lonely, and l was waiting for you in
the hall, and she asked me to come in.
and came, and we've had a beautiful
time" he added in joyous outburst.
That's just as bad" Hastings an
;wered severely. You mean TO say
that she enticed you in here"
Jack was speechless. The girl had
said nothing.
You might at least invite me to sit
down. since you are so comfortable
Hastings went on, and let me join in
the beautiful time; though l don't
know, on second thoughts, that it isn't
pleasanter standing. 1t is so unusual
to see you AT my feet"
Miss Trevor started to scramble up.
but two strong hands lifted her gently
into big chair. 1t was new expert

helped. But she did not seem to mind
it nor to notice that he was still hold
ing her hands. Both had forgotten

asked. "Are you glad that l have

Points About a Good Horse.

There are some points which are val
liable in horses of every description.
The head should be proportionately
large and we'll set on. The lower jaw
bones should be sufficiently far apart
to enable the head to form an angle
with the neck, which gives it free mo-
ton and a graceful carriage and pre-
vents It bearing too heavily on the
hand. The eye should be large, little
prominent, and the eyelids fine and
thin. The ear should be small and
erect and quick In motion. The lop
ear indicates dizziness and stubborn
ness. When too far back, there is a
disposition to mischief.

Rainbow Hued Parrot Fish.

wavy motions.
There Is a great green parrot fish,"
as brilliant in color as his namesake
the bird, showing himself boldly and
swimming along slowly, secure from
any assault. His scales are green as
the fresh grass of springtime, and each
one is bordered by pale blown line.
His fins are pink. and the end of the
tail is banded with nearly every color
Of the rainbow. He is snowy, but this
showiness serves him a good purpose.
His flesh is bitter and poisonous to
man and probably so to other fishes as
well, and they let him well alone, for
they can recognize him afar off, thanks
to his gaudy dress.
Underneath the parrot, lying on the
bottom, is pink hind" You notice
him, and as the parrot passes over him
he suddenly changes to bright scarlet
and as quickly resumes his former
faint color. Had the parrot been look
ing for his dinner and thought the hind
would make a good first course this
sudden change of color might have
scared him off, just as the sudden bris-
Ting of a cat makes a dog change his

night, he gives out flashes of light to
startle the intruder and send him away
in fright.-Professor C. L. Bristol in

The city itself has narrow, dirty
streets. The water supply for its TO-
600 people comes in a four inch pipe.
The open courts are few and small,
and the houses are punched together
with no regard for room or cleanliness.
Some houses are underground and 9th

The people are fanatical, ignorant,
selfish. There is much to detract from
the ideal city, but despite all this and

Yeneration For a single Hair.

Look at the yeneration paid in Asia
to even a single hair Of the beard Of
Mohammed. This precious relic is en-
shrined in a monument erected espe-
cially for it in 1875, 500 years after the
prophets death. Where it had re
posed during the long interval is as
great mystery as that connected with
the holy coat Of Treves. But at any
rate there it is now, a precious "heir'-

Clara Rnrton.s Cross.

One of the most beautiful of Miss
Clara Barton's foreign souvenirs is a
testimonial she received on the eve of
her departure for Geneva as delegate
to the Red Cross international conven-
ton in 1854 from Nathalie, then queen
of Servia. 1t is a massive gold cross,
the body of which is red enamel, with
the Servian coat of arms in gold on one
side and the date of their accession to
the brotherhood, 1876, on the other.
But the most delicate part of this COM
pliment resides in the fact that the
cross is mounted on our own red, white
and blue ribbon, thus enabling Miss
Barton TO wear the colors of her own
country even when donning the badge
of Seryia. \ diploma creating her a

Russia's Many Holidays.

In addition to the fifty-two Sundays
Russia has about thirty-nine holidays
or feast days of the church. They are
kept as rigidly almost as London

after each feast. In round numbers

HIS HEARTS
DESIRE

The chimes were still ringing as Tom
Hastings sat down in the,half darkness
Of the little church. He had strolled
in hoping for temporary release from
his bitter thoughts, but the quiet of
the place only seemed to rouse his
brain to greater activity. Yet he could
not think Of his story, the story al
ready due at the publishers. Instead
he saw only girls face, now sweet
and gracious as 1t had been before the
quarrel, now cold and repellent as the
past two weeks had shown it.
A strain OF music broke the silence.
The choir was filing in. Hastings
glanced carelessly at the white robed
procession. The face of the first boy
caught his attention for moment. Sc
rious, spiritual, framed in an aureole of
golden hair, an ideal face for a choir
boy.
But again his thoughts ran back in
