Love OF The
JEw's-HARP.
Some Distinguished Performers
Upon The Instrument
Its Antiquity.

The jew's-harp has been a familiar
instrument under that name in this
island for some 400 years, and is it.
self of much greater antiquity. In a
Scottish witch trial in 1891, it was
affirmed, says the London Globe, that
a girl named Duncan played upon a
small trumpe called a jewstrump' be-
fore the unholy fraternity of witches
on the occasion of their invading a
church; whereupon his Scottish ma
iesty before whom and his council the
trial took place called upon the girl
to play before him a dance upon her
"trumpe," which she accordingly did.
Several writer's of voyages and tray
els of the Elizabethan era mention
iew's-harps, with hatchets, knives,
beads and the like, as suitable wares
to be taken for purposes Of barter
with the American Indians and other
uncivilized peoples. Sir Walter Raj
eigh mentions that a jew's-harp would
purchase two hens, which seems
fairly profitable rate of exchange.
The jew's-harp has had its Fender
wski. The late Charles Godfrey Le-
land, best known to fame as Hans
Breitmann, in his Memoirs" recall
ing his student days in Germany men
lions a certain DR.. Kerner, who per-
formed on the single and double jews
harp. DR.. Kerner, says Leland, from
this most unpromising instrument drew
ed airs of such exquisite beauty that
one could not have been more aston
ished had he heard the sweet tones
of Grisi drawn from a cat by twisting
it's tail"
More extraordinary even than the
performances of Leland's DR.. Kerner
were those given some eighty years
ago in London by compatriot of his
named Eulenstein. The late Prof. Chas
Tomlinson, writing in 1895, gave his
own recollections of some of Eulen-
STEMS feats. This performer, he wrot
excited wonder and delight by COM
bining as many as sixteen Jew's-harps
including two octaves, in one frame,
and he managed TO shift them in his
mouth so rapidly as to produce what
was called fairy music. A perform
ance at the Royal Institution led to
his being invited to evening parties"
One can hardly imagine performance
on the jew's-harp as one of the at
attractions at the present day Royal
Institution.
But the jew's-harp has gone down
in the world. 1t is no longer played
upon at the Royal Institution; no
modern DIR. Burney composes music
for it; nor will it as an article of bar
ter purchase a single hen.

Should School Teachers be Pen
stoned?

The Elkhart Qnd.) Review gives an
account of the death and burial of
one Sarah Elizabeth Johnson, aged
50. who "died in poverty and obscur-
rity.". Put one mourner followed her
remains to the grave. Yet this wo-
man was for 35 years teacher in
the public schools. No one could pre-
vent her living to a great age and dy-
ing friendless, but is it fair that she
should have died in poverty? What
kind of civilization is it that author
ICES it's Government to pension even
the ninety day man., but ignores 80
years of faithful public service rem
dered by a woman? Is the training
of a gun, then, more important than
the training of boys and girls? Sure
ly the State does not really believe
what its policy in this matter seems
to indicate.

consumers, and has declared a war of
determination against the fly. The
motives which whet out hitherto east
ly blunted purpose are supplied by
science. They are first, that carry dis
ease; second, that their very presence
is a sign of dirt.
That the fly is frequently the angel
of the pestilence has long been sus-
pected, says Golfers in an important
article, but its most vivid and impress
sive demonstration was furnished by
the disgraceful death rate from typhoid
one of the most scandalous of the
many murders of official stuidity, in
our camps in the South during the
Spanish war. 1t was clearly
proved by the eminent commission
of experts, who investigated the sit
uation postmortem that the principal
means of the spread of this dreaded
disease was the flight of flies from
the excreta of the earliest cases to the
food exposed in the camp kitchens
carrying the typhoid germs on their
legs and PROPOSES.

DOLLAR WHEAT NOW
Price Goes up &C in Only
Four Days.
SHORTAGE IN CROP THE CAUSE
Flour Advances and Probably
Will Go Higher-COrn,
Oats and Rye Up.

On account of a big shortage in the
crop this year the price of wheat
has been advancing steadily during
the last few days, and Saturday dol
lar wheat" became a reality in Ken
lucky. The rise in the price of wheat
Is showing it's effect on flour, mas
much that the price of flour per bar
rel in Louisville has advanced from
1925 to $3.50. If the export demand
for wheat does not decrease, according
to local millers, it is probable that the
price of flour will go still higher be-
fore the winter is over and might
reach the 1915 and even the Sc
mark
The wheat market has been tight"
for some time. 1t took a serious as
pect when the price was advanced one
cent a bushel, and it became even
wore, when the price went &c high
err bushel, bringing the price of the
best grade from ninety-five cents to
81 and the second grade from ninety
three cents to ninety-eight cents.
1t is said that the high price of
wheat is due to the great shortage of
the winter and spring crop all over
the world. According to Government
reports, there is a shortage of about
"a 600 900 bushels in the worlds crop.
The shortage of European crops has
created a strong export demand, and
this coupled with the shortage in
this country is the cause of the high
price of cereals. Corn, oats and rye
are selling at ten to twenty cents a
bushel higher than year Iyo.
