WOODS IN OLD VIOLINS
How Famous Makers Got the Mellow
Tones Desired.

The old masters used such care
Ill the selection of the woods for
their instruments that, having
found a piece of wood of proper
fiber and vibrational powers, they
treasured every fragment, no matter
how small and, rather than waste
even particle of such strip, they
frequently constructed the backs
and bellies of patches so delicately
put together that ''the seams are
only discoyerable by microscope, so
perfect is the cabinet work." saws a
writer in the Circle.
1t was ever the aim of the old
masters to marry the back of hard
sycamore, which produces the quick
vibrations, and the belly of soft
wood, producing the slower sound
waves, in such a manner as to give
the mellow but reedy timber of the
perfect instrument. Anatomically,
a violin made by an old master is
miracle of construction it can be
taken to pieces, patched, put togeth-
er, repaired Indefinitely and is al
most indestructible. Repairing has
been the means of exposing many
clever forgdiies. The inside of a
violin made by Stradivari, Guar
nerius or other old masters is as
perfectly finished as is the outside
and the clumsy interior work of
forgery betrays an imitation at
once.

BANKING In THE OLD DAYS

of bank notes issued by all sorts of
institutions which were always 60

notes almost valueless. Our news
from the outside world came by
steamboat up the Missouri river and
every time a boat whistled into the
landing every one in town who could
leave his work ran down to the leyee
to see the new arrivals and learn
the news.
What's the news:?' was the first
question usually shouted to the Off
GERS of the boat and nothing was
the customary response.
"'Any banks 'busted ?"'
oh, yes, several

tured alcohol at Chicago is 35 cents
per gallon and that the transportation
charges from Chicago to Baker City

officials, who informed him that 'ft
had been ruled by the transcontinental
inspection bureau that denatured alco-
hOl should take the same rating as any
other kind of alcohol as the transcon-
