EXPERTS IN WOOD.
The Old violin Makers and the Mate
rial They Used.

The great violin makers all lived
within the compass of $50 years. They
chose their wood from few great TIM
bers felled in the south Tyrol and
ficated down In rafts-pine and maple,
sycamore, pear and ash. They ex-
amined these to find streaks and veins
and freckles, valuable specifically
when brought out by vanishing.
They learned to tell the dynasty of
the pieces of wood by touching them.
They weighed them. they struck them
and listened to judge how fast or how
slow or how resonantly they would
vibrate In answer to strings. Some
portions OF the wood must be porous
and soft, some close OF fiber. Just the
right beam was hard TO find. When
found, 1t can be traced all through the
violins Of some great master and after
his death in some Of his pupils.
The piece of wood was taken home
and seasoned, dried In the hot Brescia
and Cremona sun The house of Strad-
ivarius, the great master Of all, is de-
scribed as having been as hot as an
oven. The wood was there soaked
through and through with sunshine.
In this great heat the oils thinned and
simmered slowly and penetrated far
into the wood until the varnish became
a part Of the wood itself.
The old violin makers used to save
every bit of the wood when they found
what they liked to mend and patch and
inlay with 1t. So vibrant and so reso-
nant is the wood of good old violins
that they murmur and echo and sing in
answer to any sound where a number
Of them hang together on the wall, as
II rehearsing the old music that they
once knew.

Nearly all men agree in looking
with very great scorn upon the
woman who drinks. A man may
drink to excess regularly and pub
licly, yet continue TO be highly re-
spected, especially when he happens
to have money. But there is no in
diligence or forgiveness for the wo-
man-not the slightest. We are
glad that the social law says to
woman you must not drink. We
are glad that true mother love says
do not drink liquor, but set good
example for your children. But we
do believe that the lover should be
as moral as he wishes his sweetheart
to be. That the father, should be
Just as true as he wishes the mother
TO be. We do not believe in two sets
of moral codes. If il is wrong for
the sweetheart, or the mother to
indulge in intoxicating drinks, then
it is wrong for the lover or father
to do the same. How many men
would live with drunken wives?
How many young men would like
the young lady they intend to mar
ry, to be found under the influence of
liquor. Why two codes of morals?
Why should not the extremely
rich young woman, and the hard
working woman indulge in intoxi-
eating drinks, as we'll as the ex-
tremely rich young man, and the
hard working man? You say the
rich young mans father left him so
much money and nothing TO do.
What else can you expect of him?
And of the overworked man,
doomed to a continuous round of
dull drudgery, you say that his life
is so dull it is enough to drive him
TO drink.
There are women who drink, un-
fortunately, and those about them
are to be piticd-although not near
ly so much to be pitied as the I'M
happy women themselves.
At the same time we should re-
member with gratitude this fact.
In a land where drunkenness
among men is looked upon as a mat
ter of course it is almost unknown
among women, save when they are
tempted by stupid men or by fool
ishly luxurious, idle lives. And it
is really unknown among the hard
working mothers of the country,
among those whose monotonous
lives, full of never-ending work,
woud be held an excuse for any eX-
cess among men.

Maux Cats.

The peculiar breed of cats found in
the Isle Of Man differs from others only
In that they have no tails, and the lack
thereof is the insoluble puzzle to nat
uralsts. Since Ii has become the fash
ion to explain everything by the prin
ciples of evolution, two theories have
been offered-one that, owing to the
limited range and lack Of dense forests
the original cats had no use for tails,
and consequently they (the tails, not
the CATS gradually atrophied for lack
of use and became rudimentary; anoth
er that the primitive Manx cut off all
their cats tails and in the course Of
time developed a tailless breed. One
thing is certain--the cats are there, and
they have no tails.

THE klANoS or INDIA.
Thsse Wild Horses Are Vicious and
said 10 BE untamabie

Writing OF the kiangs or wild horses
OF India. found near the land OF Tibet,
Thomas w. Weber in The Forests OF
Upper India and Their Inhabitants"
says:
Here for the first time we saw the
kiang, or wild horse. Several herds
came to look at us as we marched and
galloped around, neighing and kicking
up, but kept at respectful Distance
They have big, ugly heads and tails
and ears Like a mules and black
stripe down the back; color, light bay,
with white noses. They have fine free
action In trot and gallop and are four
teen TO fifteen hands high, strong in
the legs and heavy in the body. We
were welcomed by the neighing Of nu-
merous wild horses TO the land OF the
kiang. Several herds kept circling
round, the old stations approaching in
quite threatening manner, snorting,
squealing and kicking up their heels,
while the mares and foals galloped OF
at more respectful distance. There

turbances. We witnessed a battle roy
al between two stations, which for
ferocity and wicked fury surpassed any
fight / have seen. Again and again
the pair went at one another like t.
gers, biting and kicking and mauling,
the blood flowing freely, while the fear
full yells and roars they kept up were
terrifying to hear. This went on for
hours. The horrible roars and shrek
ings made by the wild horse when
fighting sound something like a noise
between donkey's bray and the
squealing of IA jackal, but far more ear
piercing and discordant. Here the
kiang is found in considerable num-
bers. He is, according to the Hunia
accounts, untamabe. There was
young one purchased at Bagesar fair
from some Hunias for a small price.
The purchaser thought he had good
bargain and proposed TO send the ami
NAL TO England, but when his men
went to bring away the purchase no
power could induce il to leave Its fos-
ter mother, an old Ahbet pony, which
the clever Hunias refused to sell ex'
cept for an exorbitant sum.
