Fancy Prices for Violins.
From the London Truth.


The test of the auction room Is still an
tagonistic to the exaggerated prices which
the violin fanciers would have US believe
show the true worth of old violins. Some
excellent specimens were sold last week,
and they were nearly all purchased by
dealers. so that their authenticity may al
most be taken for granted but 200 was
the highest price secured. This was gained
for a Joseph GuarnerHs of 1881. while 4
Jerome Amati with certificate by the re-
ncwned authority Josef ChanoD fetched
fl00 an, A. and H. Amati of 1850 went for
f9o. and some excellent old f6dies fetched
little over $50 each. l sometimes wonder
that ordinary purchasers do not buy more
at these sales, where. although no great
bargains are likely to be picked up-for the
dealers would not allow violin to go to am
outsider for much under Its trade worth
yet the prices are very greatly below those
asked in the shops, and are, of course al
most trivial compared with the figures
quoted by some of the collectors. The $4,000
fiddle is in fact a myth. Nothing over 81 600
has ever been known.

Suggestiveness of Rome.

Alfred Austin, in The London National Magazine.
The opulence of Rome in objects of sug-
gestive interest is inexhaustible; more espe-
cially if one goes about seeing them leisure
ly and what to the precipitate tourist of to-
day would have seemed lazily. / had not
come to Rome merely to see; / had come
likewise to feel. 1 remember one of the
most charming English women of our time,
whose gracious hospitality l have enjoyed
both in Italy and England, once saying to
me, as we leaned over the terrace wall of
villa she was occupying near Fiesole, and
that looked down over budding vineyards to
the domes and towers of Florence. DO you
thing so-and-so understands Florence as
we'll as we do?' Il feel pretty sure she does
not" 1 answered. why is it?' rs it not
because she strives to take possession of
Florence and we allow Florence to take pos
session of us?"
Assent was given to the explanation.
which was only another way of saying that
deep feeling rather than extensive erudition
Is the vestibule of understanding. Rome can
nc more be felt than as is said it was built
in a day. When l first wintered in 1t there
was many a spot where 1t could be felt
One of these, and one of the most COM
handing, was the summit of what has been
called alternately the Basilica of Constan-
tine and the Temple of Peace. A temple of
peace it was them all soaring ruin and
tangled vegetation, and access to 1t was to
be had for a few baiocchi given to the fe-
male custodian, who was the custodian of
nothing. 1t was generally in vain that
carried with me, mpanion, a volume of
Horace, Livy or Gregorovius. There was so
much to look on and to feel that reading
so often but the ready resort of an inert
mind, was impossible. So, like the buffaloes
in the shafts of the wine carts in the forum
below me, lay in the sun and blinked, let
ting faint cloud shadows float slowly over
my head and faint fanciHS fit
brain. Such an attitude, as Byron says
though
Idlesse it seem, hath its morality
All one had to do was to bring submits
sive and sympathizing spirit, and twenty
six centuries had good deal to say to one

PERU HAS HIGH RAILWAY
Crosses Mountain Range at Altitude
Never Before Attained.

From the Engineering Magazine.
One of the most interesting trips afforded
by the present transportation facilities OF
Peru is that over the Oroyo railroad, which
new runs from Callao to the gold l1elds OF
Cerro de Pasco. 1t is considered one of the
wonders in the Peruvian world, and the
original contract was taken by Mr.. Meiggs
at 81, $4,000 in bonds at 80 1t Is GER
tainly the greatest feat of railroad engl-
neering in either hemisphere, and as
specimen of American enterprise and work
menship it suffers nothing by comparison
1t was begun in 1870 and finished in 1876
and additional work has since been done on
it. Commencing in Callao, it ascends the
narrow valley of the Rimac rising nearly
5000 feet in the first fortysiX miles.
Thence it goes through the intricate
gorges of the Sierras till 1t tunnels the An
des at an altitude of 15645 feet, the nigh
est point in the world where piston rod is
moved by steam. The wonder is doubled on
remembering that the elevation is reached
in seventy-eght miles. One of the most
remark a BILE things in connection with this
road is that between the coast and summit
there is not an inch of down grade. The
difficulties encountered in its construction
We're extreme-landslides falling powders

high altitudes) and verrugas, a disease
known only along the line of this road,
characterized by species of warts break
ing out all over the body and bleeding.
About 5000 workmen were engaged at one
time, and between 1900 and 5000 persons
died were killed in the construction of
the road.

The Message of the Stars.

Amid these stately colunned trees
That lift to heaven their reyerent arms,
We hear celestial harmOnies
And fain forget the worlds alarms.
The peaceful majesty Of night
Rebukes the petty strife of earth;
Tho soul. attempered TO its light,
Feels new and high resolves take birth.
Tho natures varied book enrolled
For poet dreamer. seer and sage,
Is writ in characters Of gold
For him who knows and loves the page
In vain we question Of the stars.
That aeons gone have eoursed thro' space,
And tho we beat our prison bars
Can only grope. and dream. and gaze.
Across the heavens vast expanse
myriad shining orbs appear,
In swift tho seeming slow advance,
In cleaning cohorts, sphere on sphere;
Each planet with its satellite,
System and consultations rise
Yet each In Its appointed flight,
Reveals a ruler Of the skies.
Beyond those hosts are other hosts
Unseen. unnumbered and untold
Beyond times dim uncharted coasts
The wondrous record Is unrolled.
From zenith to horizons sweep
The dome Is thickly sDrinkled DER
With stars. that shall their vigifs keep
Till man and time shall be no more.
Above the cradle of the race
They watched. and heard the infants call;
Each In its orbits ordered place.
Saw empires rise. decay and fall
And when the Babe Divine was born
In far Judea's humble bower.
The stars In concert hailed the morn,
Acclaimed the King. and marked the hour.

She got up and stood at the window.
Away in the western sky the storm king
was shaking his golden chains on a back
ground of dead black. Without the night
was noiseless. Not leaf was moving.
Mrs. Deering threw shawl about her
shoulders and sat down to watch the
storm. The leaves began to nod and sway
in the rising breeze. Suddenly the great
trees seemed to shudder. A chain of light
ming leaped from the black sky and darted,
smokelike. among the trees, leaving the
darkness deeper than before. Immediately
following this ferret-like flash a snowwhite
figure emerged from the shadows of the
great birch, passed up over the shoulder
of the hill, and disappeared down the steep
bluff in the direction of the river.

Canadian Fenian Raid Medals.
From the Ottawa Citizen.

From the ottawa Citizen.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been presented
with a Fenian raid medal for his services
as a lieutenant in the Athabasca Regiment
at the time Of the invasion of Canada. In
view of the personal interest in the acqui-
sition of these honorable symbols of service
to the country which must be aroused in
the mind of the right honorable gentleman,
it may not be inopportune to point out that
the regulations governing the issue of these
medals by the Dominion government are
rather curiously anomalous One qualifica-
ton for the medal is that only those veter-
ans who Were alive two years previous to
the order for the issue Of the medal were
EMIT to it. Either every man who was
on tie rolls Of the corps entitled to the
medal should get it or none should get it.
In limiting the medal to the men who hap
pen to be alive thirty years after the event
and ignoring the rights of men who fought
and in many instances died for their coun-
try the award takes on the complexion of
a prize for longevity.

GEESE STUFFING."
Town Whose Industry is Development
of Goose Liver.
From Leslie's Weekly.

From Leslies Weekly.
The raising. stuffing and shipping of
geese has become quite a large industry
in the vicinity of WATERFOWL, Wis, and
about 10000 pounds of stuffed geese and
about $4,000 pounds of stall-fed geese
are shipped annually from there to all
parts of this country. The demand for
stuffed geese is increasing all the time,
and the shippers of this class of poultry
claim it is not possible to fill all their
orders unless these are placed early in
fall. The geese have to undergo the stuff
fling process to produce abnormally large
liverS.
In stuffing the goose the feeder holds it
between his knees and forces the noodles
down into Its throat, but each noodle
must first be dipped into warm water to
make it more slippery During the first
week eight noodles are thus given three
times a day, and during the second week
the same number are given four times
every day. From then on the stuffing has
to be done every three four hours,
night and day, and each time six or seven
noodles are forced down. The geese have
by this time accumulated SO much fat
and the liver has expanded to such pro-
portions that they have to be watched
continuously. as some are liable to choke
and thus prove total loss. The entire
household is called upon, and every man,
up and attend to the geese.
At last, when ready for market, the
geese are killed and the feathers ON
breast and belly must be picked immedi-
ately, while the bodies are warm, other
wise the very tender skin would be torn
or damaged, and this would allow the
thick layer of the precious goose fat to
coze out. The wings and back parts of
the fowl can be picked more easily and
are first dipped into hot water to facili-
tate the process. After they are thoroughly
picked the heads, wings and legs are tied
together on the back and the birds hung
up in cold place and allowed to freeze
solid
Prepared in this way they are very APP
petiZing looking. Their size is enormous
IE weight they range from twenty to
twenty-eight pounds each, some extra
large ones weighing from thirty-four to
thirty-six pounds. The livers are gener-
ally very large, covering an ordinary soup
plate, and some weigh over three and
one-half pounds.

surance, which came with repeated disaster,
are still evident in the public mind. Taxes
are now enormously heavy, the Industrial
situation Is bad. and as a result of low
prices and continued bad weather the agri-
cultural interests are facing ruin. To ex-
tend commercial and Industrial sovereignty
is more popular idea at present than to
lengthen the shadow of the flag through
force Of arms.
To make war upon the American cotton
gamblers by developing new cotton areas
Is popular The idea of excluding foreign
manufactures by imposing a protective
duty Is growing in favor To send men
and money to uphold the power of the
Turk In Bulgaria would not appeal with
compelling force to the enthusiasm of the
British people under these conditions. They
would be loyal and would uphold the gov
eminent as they always have in the pNst,
but such victories of peace as would fur
nish employment for the unemployed and
food for the hungry would be hailed with
far more deep-felt satisfaction than the
news Of the taking of an enemy's fort in
some far distant land.
Physique Of British Soldier.
In many ways England is better prepared
for war at this time than she was five
years ago, but with one important excep-
ton. That lies in securing material for
the creation of a new army, or even or
maintaining the army as it stands today.
The physical standard of the English army
is far below the American In It's require
ments. and yet every third man who APP
plies for enlistment is now found so de-
fective as to exclude him from the service.
Out of 365,000 candidates $4,000 have been
rejected, and of those accepted 10,O0o We're
invaded within two years of their enlist
ment.
The statement was made few days ago
by a prominent British army officer that In
the last twenty years the stature and chest
of the English army recruit had so dW1n-
died that if the standard of twenty years
ago was now in force less than 30 per cent
of the applicants would receive the King
shilling. OF course, serious as tins IS, IL
would not deter England from gong 10
war should necessity arise. 1t Is but one
symptom Of the generally depressed cond1-
ton, and plays l,s part in the rather low
tone now prevailing in the national nina.
England does not want war al this time,
and her best diplomacy will be employed IN
the interests of peace throughout the
world. Ample opportunity for its exercise
is the promise of the near future.

of his life
He might have hailed a hanson: indeed.
he could well afford carriage and pair

walk home
In n narrow lane just off the Strand he
found himself at the street door of a dingy
brick building. Coming out of his reverie
he laughed a noiseless little laugh. and
stood for moment looking up at window
which for years had been his one opening
to the world. How many cigars had he
smoked. how many air castles had he
builded with one elbow on the ledge of that
lonely lookout?
While, as a matter of fact. he had not
foreseen this fame which was come to him,
he had, in some vague way, felt it. and had
experienced no great surprise at its coming.
1t was pleasant after years of absence
from the little lane, to stand there in the

Trouble With superstitious Natives.

In Korea, as in China, there is an in
