VIOLIN AND FIDDLE.
When Fun Is Wanted the Latter Is
Demanded.


The violin is the aristocrat, the Pa
trician of musical instruments. The
fiddle is the boss. The violin Is an in
strument of harmony: the fiddle Is the
voice Of melody. The violin is played
chiefly by men with pied names and
long hair and women with specs, says
the Nashville American. The fiddle Is
the instrument Of the man who wears
galluses, and underclothes only in the
winter time. The master Of the violin
Is a virtuoso: the master Of the fiddle
is merely a mighty good fiddler. The
instruments are very much alike from
volute to tailpiece. The difference Is
in the players. The violin leads the
orchestra: the fiddle leads the dance.
Paganini, Joachim and WeiniawsN
were violinists: Bob Taylor Is a fid-
dler Arias are executed in the violin;
tunes are played on the fiddle. Noe
turnes are for the violin; the fiddle
makes shindig music. The violin
voices the music of Mendelssohn,
fiddle sings of "Old Zip Coon"
"Natchez- under the HILL" Jenny, Put
the Kettle On" Money Musk" and
later productions. including old or
young tune, song. hymn, lay, ballad,
ditty or piece" grave or gay. the
melody, rhythm, jingle or syncopation
of which appeals to the untutored but
natural and susceptible ear. and that
possesses the power to please and
soothe, to arouse sympathy and ten
derness, or to cause men to laugh,
weep or fight. This is the power the
office of the fiddle. The violin Is
merely the fiddle's educated brother.
The neighbors admire it for its learn
ing and aristocratic bearing, but they
think 1t puts on too many airs, and
when they want fun they call for the
fddle-the instrument universal In
the Land Of the Plebeians.

DoUGHERTY ISLAND.
II Is the Most Remote and Desolate
Spot on Earth.

Il Is the Most Remote and Desolate
Spot on Earth.
Which Is the loneliest, most desolate
and most inaccessible island on the
face of the globe? Many people would
doubtless plump for one Of the Croz-
ets in the south Atlantic ocean. And
yet Hog island, the westernmost OF
the group, Is by no means an unde-
sirable place Of residence, abounding
as II does in hares and rabbits, PEN
gums, albatrosses and sea elephants.
Herd island, in the same seas, Is
far more isolated as well as more bar
rem, but 1t possesses, as does Hog, a
shelter hut for castaways, and 1t Is
visited by whalers occasionally. So
too, is South Georgia, but it has no
shelter hut, and as 1t Is right out OIL
the track Of shipping any one unlucky
enough to be cast away thereon would
stand a very poor chance of ever get
ting off alive.
Bouvet island, in the same seas, Is
visited even more rarely, and on the
last occasion when a ship touched
there five corpses were found frozen
on the beach, grim mementos Of some
unrecorded tragedy Of the sea. Pos
session island, in its turn, is still
lonelier and more inhospitable than
Bouvet.
But probably the palm in this direc-
ton must be ascribed to Dougherty
island, on which, so far as Is known
no landing has ever been effected. II
has only been sighted twice in a CEN
tury and is officially described in the
admiralty sailing directions as 1.-THE
most remote and isolated spot or
earth."-Pearson's Weekly.

PLAGUE IN INDIA.
481, 1892 Persons Died From II In Six
Weeks.

The greatest catastrophe the world
has ever known is in progress at this
present moment, and the world recks
little or nothing of it, says Pearson's
Weekly.
This is the plague epidemic in India,
which has now been raging for more
than eleven years, and which, so far
from showing any tendency to die out,
keeps steadily increasing in intensity.
Thus, during the six weeks ending
May II last, 4S1,S92 persons perished
from it, or at the rate Of over $4,000
deaths a week.
Nothing approaching the appalling
horror represented by these figures
has ever been recorded before. The
nearest to it was in 1905, when, during
the last week in March, the epidemic
was responsible for STOP deaths.
No pestilence of ancient or modern
times, Of which we have any knowl-
edge, has slain so many millions OF
people as has this one, and the end Of
which, mind, is not yet.
The Great Plague" of London, for
example, about which everybody has
heard, killed at the outside some So
900 people in seven months, or about
as many as are dying weekly in India
from disease which is identical with
1t in every respect.
The "Black Death" is said to have
slain one-t third Of the then population
Of England-say 100000 persons; but
this Is doubtful. Even admitting the
correctness Of the estimate, however,
the mortality of the present epidemic
in India has already more than doubled
this huge total
What will be the end no man can
foresee or venture to forecast. 1t may
be that all that has gone before, and
all that is happening now, inexpressi-
bly, awful though 1t is, is but the pre-
lude of worse to follow.

A LETTER THAT NEVER GROWS OLD.
DIR. Edward Everett Hale tells Of an
amusing letter once sent by Thomas
Bailey Aldrich to Professor E. s.
Morse, whose handwriting was very
illegible. According to Doctor Hale,
Mr.. Aldrich wrote as follows:
MY dear Morse: 1t was very pleas
ing to me to get your recent letter.
Perhaps I should have been more
pleased had 1 been able to decipher the
same. have not been able to master
any of it beyond the date. which
knew, and the signature, which
guessed at. This is a singular and
perpetual charm in a letter Of yours;
IL never grows old, 1t never loses Its
novelty. One can say to ones self ev-
cry morning: Here's that letter OF
Morses. 1 haven't read it yet. / think
I'll take another shy at it today, and
maybe 1 shall. in the course Of a few
months, be able to make out what he
means by those ts that look like WIS
and those is that have no eyebrows.
Other letters are read and thrown
away, but yours are kept forever-un-
read. One Of them will last a reason
able man a lifetime.
"Admiringly yours,
"T. B. Aldrich."

She Couldn't Very Well.

An attache Of one of the foreign le-
cations in Washington had become
very much attracted to one Of the
sweetest and most beautiful girls In
the Capital society. He felt quite sure
that his ardor was not altogether with
out response on the girls part. Their
meetings had become oftener and their
appearances in public together were
frequent, and the young fellow felt
that a certain ball to be given on
particular evening to which they were
both invited would mean a great deal
to him. So he personally selected
box of the most beautiful flowers ne
could get, and writing note address,
ed to the girl, gave 1t to his valet
carefully instructing him to deliver II
with the box in about two or three
hours.
The man finally reported that the
box and note had been delivered out
to the attaches surprise when ne ar
rived at the ball and went straight up
to the girl, he noticed that she was not
alone and was carrying some other
flowers, She barely nodded to him as
he approached, and during the entire
evening distinctly Stunned him. The
evening was a miserable one and ne
went home sick at heart. There ne
found his box of flowers standing on
the table. Mystifed. he summoned MS
valet. only to be assured that he had
personally delivered the note and box.
But not that one, sir" he added.
"You pointed out quite another box
sir"
What was in the box you tookF
asked the young man, absolutely mys-
titled.
'T cannot tell, sir, and mutually
did not open it." replied the valet.
He was sent in haste to the girrs
address, and the box was brought back
to the young man, who opened 1t only
to find that his valet had carried TO
the girl a new lot Of underwear which
he had bought that day for himseit
and had sent home.
And the note had read:
May 1 hope that you will wear these
for my sake?"
