Do VIoIlns Get Sick?

Can a violin be played out or get
sick? l confidently say No; nor does
any benefit result from giving them
rest. The tone OF any violin does not
appeal to our ears at all times alike
This is mainly due to the state Of our
health and hearing varying and, part
ly, the clearnesB or otherwise Of the
atmosphere.
To prove this play on three or four
of your violins Qf you have them
you will then discover them all suf-
fering from the same complaint, /. e.,
sick or sulky This should be con-
elusive, since it is not likely that they
would all fall sick on the same day,
nor could they all be played out at
one time, especially when one violin
got more use than the others. 1t is
well Ton sick days. to put the instru-
ment away for day or two. Perhaps
the next time it is used all the all
ments will have vanished, or, rather,
our temporary indisposition, and the
violin will seem as responsive, bright
and sonorous as 1t ever was. l may
not be wandering from this subject by
adding there is the same sense Of fall
ing off in the tone Of organ pipes at
times, which conclusively proves that
our ears are out of order-not the
pipes-since the latter cannot vary
from day to day, either in quality OF
quantity Of tone.

1.-THE Darling of the Gallery Gods "
NETWORK ROOF.

Miss Emma CarUs is without question the darling
of the New-York Theatre roof garden gallery gods,
and that is not alone because there is gallery
there. 1t is rather because she possesses voice
which, alternating between a barytone and a So
prano, yet carries 10 the furthest corner OF the
halt and informs those in the regions removed
from the stage what the show is all about, and
because she works hard to please and has a few
ideas of her own concerning what is pleasant. In
other words, THE Darling Of the Gallery Gods a
