Lieutenant Governor Lewis Stuyves-
ant Chambers friends are greatly
cheered by two recent happenings.
The first is the excellent effect pro-
duced among Southern leaders of his
party by the New Workers. speech at
Atlanta. Southern newspapers have
been most encouraging in their COM
ments on the statesmanlilIe quality Of
Mr.. Chambers first public declaration
on national matters; and Chairman
Connors. as well as other New York
Democrats. have received many letters
fro appointment southerners who refer
To the Lieutenant Governor as the
Moses destined to lead the democracy
out Of the Egypt Of defeat.
The second justification for joy
among the Chanlerites is the slap that
the Bryan cause received by Kentucky
going republican after the peerless one
had canvassed that state. They argue
that it is the best possible indication
that the great personal popularity of
the Nebraskan is on the wane. and
that it proves that, after all, there is
not such a crying demand for Mr..
Bryan as might be supposed. Well-in-
formed politicians say there is no
doubt that Chanler will go into the
convention carrying the instructions Of
and some of the New England states,
and that the south will go to him with
a rush after the first few ballots.

II IS comforting in these moneyless
times. to learn that the hateful stuff
breeds death and disease if handled
too much.
The statement is made on high med
Leaf authority that hundreds of men
have contracted incurable maladies,
and thousands have suffered tempo
rary ills from infectious paper money.

prominent money handlers, is the lat

the disease caused by the germs which
infest our paper currency. having oc-
cured at st. Luke's hospital.
Mr.. Halls death was due to his hab-
it of wetting the tips Of his fingers on
his tongue. This infection spread to
the blood, and in time a general thick
ening of the tissues followed. The
thymoid gland was attacked. and from
here it spread to the heart. the liver
and the optic nerve. which it practic-
and the physicians were unable to
stem its progress. although they ident-
flied the ailments.
Such facts offer the strongest possi-

tries. Europeans are amazed at what
they call our filthy money" Up To-

The Primitive Violin.

In its primitive form the violin was
a direct development of the Tyre and
monochord- strings from the for
mer and the elongated box. with its
sound holes. finger board and movable
bridge, from the latter. The history
of the violin began with the invention
OF the bow some time before the thir-
tcenth century, when the voilc, or viclle.
used by the troubadours, made its ap-
pearancc. This instrument underwent
many changes until the middle of the
sixteenth century, when the true violin
model appeared. The primitive violin
had little or no contour. 1t was not
until the thirteenth century that the
viclle was scoopcd out at the waist.
The corner blocks were added In the
fifteenth century and are attributed
TO Germany. For nearly century
the sound holes were shifted all over
the instrument before they were cut
In their proper place and the bridge
fixed between them.-Circle Magazine.
