Strange condolences in magazine
making are noted by the editor Of
Harper's Magazine, writing in the
"Study" He cites as an example the
case Of a story, written for Harper's,
whose plot turned upon a flood caused
by n broken reservoir. The story was
held some years, and when finally it
was published its appearance proved
to be coincident with an actual flood
caused by q broken reservoir-the
Johnstown disaster. Twenty years
ago, the editor writes, the editorial
staff of Harpers Magazine became al
most superstitious by reason of the
of deaths Of world-famous men
which occurred almost simultaneously
with the publication Of their portraits
in the Magazine.

A DIsHWASHING GAME.

On Mondays before l go to school
l wash the dishes. It's mothers rule
So Bridget can sort the clo'es.
To help me to get them quickly done
I've made up game that's lots OF fun,
And here's tie way it goes:
The forks are voyages, and their wives
Are the tablespoons and the silver knives;
The teaspoons their babies wee;
Each platter, saucer and cups boat
In which from the dishpan port they float
They're shipwrecked when at sea.
The, soapsud breakers dash fierce and
high,
But all hands are saved, and rubbed till
dry.
The wrecks are towed in to shore.
In closet harbor they safely stay
Till sailing date on another day,
Then braveiy embark once more.
And washing the dishes in this Tsay
Is nothing but fun. And / always say
And mother agrees with me-
II works on hand it's a splendid plan
To do it the jolliest way you can.

Good Hunting without Exception.

A gentleman having an estate in the
Highlands, as he was going abroad for
some time, advertised the shootings to
let, and told his gamekeeper, Donald,
who was to show the ground to give
it a good character to any one who
called to see it.
An Englishman came down, and in
quiring of Donald as to how 1t was
stocked with game, first asked If it
had any deer. Donald's reply was:
Thousands OF them.'
"Any grouse" y
-"Thoosands of them, too."
"Any partridges?"
thousands of them, too."
"Any woodcock?"

was drawing the long bow, asked If
there were any gorillas. Donald drew
himself up.

HOW TO MAKE A TUBoPHoNE

The tubophone is a musical instru-
ment very much like an exylophone
The latter. as you know, consists of a
number of bars of wood or metal of
different sizes, each Of which gives its
own peculiar note when 1t is struck.
The tubophone Is easier to construct.
All you need to make one is a number
of stiff pasteboard tubes such as are
used for mailing some illustrated
periodicals. II you cannot buy the
tubes at the stationer's it is an easy
matter to make them by bending wet
pasteboard about round stick and
gluing 1t together. You will want at
least eight tubes. The diameter of all
should be the same, and the lengths
should be eighteen, sixteen, fourteen
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1903-06-22

and three-eighths, thirteen and one
half, twelve, ten and three-fourths,
nine and one-half and nine inches.
Having cut the tubes to these lengths
you will find, on holding them in turn
lightly by the middle and striking them
with your finger, that the shortest
tube gives hollow sound which is
just an octave higher than the sound
given by the longest tube, and that the
others give the intermediate notes of
the major scale. That is, if you call
the longest tube G Though it may not
be in tune with G on your piano., the
others will be d, e, f, G, A, B, and C
the octave of @. Or you may call them
do, re, mi, ia, sol, la, 81 and mark
them either with these names or the
letters Lay the tubes in order on the
table and fasten them together with
two cords (of silk, If possible), in the
following manner:
Tie one end of each cord together,
put the longest tube between the cords
close to the knot, and tie the cords to-
gether again on the other side of the
tube. Then make another knot half
inch further along the cords before
you tie in the second tube. The idea is
to have two knots and a little cord
between each two tubes to keep them
well apart. This is for the middle
cord or cords. For those at the ends
of the tubes one knot between each
two tubes will suffice. In the same
way fasten two wooden rods, which
are to serve as handles, to the longest
and shortest tubes or better tie the

The German plan of finishing meat
shops with tiles is very satisfactory
one, as cleanliness is thereby secured
with added attractiveness. In many
German butcher shops the floor, walls,
ceilings, counters, scales and desks are
all finished with glazed tile, somewhat
similar to those used in the American
bathroom. Stoneware furniture is a
novelty in German shops that might be
adopted with advantage in this coun-
try. This is especially applicable to
meat shops, fish and other markets.
