He Said to Himself.

Kansas enjoys the distinction, posi-
bly,, Of being the only state in the
Union where man has been allowed
by court of inquiry to testify regard
ing what he said to himself.
A committee had been appointed by
the legislature, says The Green Bag,
to investigate the alleged bribery of
certain members in connection with a
defeated railroad bill. The first wit
ness called testified that he saw one of
the representatives late one night COM
ing down the hotel stairs.
81 said to myself" he went on, but
member on the side of the defense
jumped to his feet.
"Hold on!' he shouted. "You can't
testify about what you said to your
self!
The prosecutor retorted that there
was no law to prohibit him from SO
testifying. A long argument ensued,
but majority of the committee agreed
with the chairman that the testimony
was admissible.
81 said to myself" seriously proceed
ed the witness, shat NJ. had been up
to Billy's room to get his pay"
The testimony was recorded and
made part Of the official record.

dish of bamboo shoots.
'"rhe chicken, the pig, the fish and

ITALIAN vloLlNs.
The First "strnd" Sent to London

The First "strnd" Sent to London
Could Find No Purchaser.
Italian yiolins have not always held
the supremacy they now enjoy. 1t was
not indeed till the beginning of the
nineteenth century that they came into
vogue to any extent outside their ma
tive land Previously Jacob Steiner
(1621-S3) was the favorite maker, and
his high model had been almost eXclu-
sively copied by his fellow Germans
and the different makers in France and
England. When the elder Corvette,
who had been Il merchant before enter
ing the musical profession, came to
London, in 1873, he brought with him
some instruments by Stradivari. The
result of this endeayor to introduce
Italian work into England fills one with
pathetic wonder. 1t is almost beyond
belief. AS he could not get as much as
f5 ($25) for violoncello he was obliged
to send the instrument back to Italy
for bad speculation. Five pounds for
n "Strad," and not single purchaser
to be found!
i This incident in itself furnishes suffi-
cient testimony to the slavish following
of the great German maker and the
strong prejudice of the violinists Of
that period in favor of the high model.
1t is indeed the players who are most
| to blame for the slow adoption of the
| fiat model, for the creator must make
what is necessitated by the demand;
but the eighteenth century fiddlers, at
any rate in England, France and Ger
many, seem for the most part to have
been content that their violins should
possess small sweet tone, never real
ling the lack of power and sorority

NOW LOOK OUT,
s'Take care Of yourself" say our friend

Stake care of yourself" say our friend
''I'll try to-" we answer. We do take littl
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbe,
and mackintoshes, an army of people wer
bowled out by pneumonia and other lun
and chest diseases last winter. The,
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, choked by
inf1ammations and COMPOSITIONS, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were coy
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form Of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip Cback and chest and all sim
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer-
ers from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

MlsAPPLIED WORDS.


Some Expressions the Use of Which
Should BE Reformed.
Extra" is an abused word. People
say "extra good" or extra cheap" in
order to intensity good" and Cheap"
But extra" has no such force. So far
from intensifying a given condition, 1t
denies it by Indicating that the thing
SO described lies outside the sphere or
quality named. Thus, extra judicial"
does not mean more than ordinarily jul
dicial. as though judge had dredgcd
his conscience in giving an opinion, bat
outside of judicial and therefore inca
pable of being judged at all in the pre-
scribed way.
A grieyous fault is the use of "iden-
tify" in phrase like this, "He is iden-
titled with the characterization move
ment." A man can only identify him
self with another man or set of men.
He can identify himself with the OPP
ponents of vaccination-and even here
the word carries shade of meaning of
its own, distinguishing the phrase from
such one as "he Joined the opponents
of vaccination"
One should not speak of "high" or
"low" caliber; but, remembering the
meaning of "calber." one should apply
to it only such adjectives as great" or
small"
1t is wrong to speak of Consensus
Of opinion" The word consensus" it.
self means an agreement of thought
and should stand alone.-Academy.
