ImprovIna Tone u vIoIIn.

Violin making Is an ancient art, yet
new things may be learned about it.
Two makers Of musical instruments,
one in Brussels, the other in Boston,
have recently announced their belief
that the material Of an instrument has
nothing to do with its tone.
One Of them made experiments only
with wind instruments, but the other
tried innovations in violins and violon-
cellos, substituting tin and aluminium
for post and bridge, with an actual i'm
provement in tone. 1t Is his belief that
distribution of mass is far more impor-
tant to good tone than the material
used. This theory is contrary to all
previous opinions on the subject and
if true will wipe out much of the ro-
nance Of the search for and treasuring
of old violin timber.-Youth's Compan-

SEND KILGoRE, DEWs,
LoUTHAN & co. AFTER EN-.

Minco Minstrel: Z. H. Duvall was in
Monday and in talking about the coyote
hunt stated that very few turned out,
and the hunt was not pulled off, The
Minstrel believes that each county
should offer a bounty Of 81 per head
for wolf and coyote scalps thus max
ing it an object to hunt down the
pests. Formers say that they are
growing more numerous and bold ev-
cry year, until it is almost impossible
to raise chickens and pigs in some
neighborhoods. One farmer lost 16
head Of pigs and nearly all his chickens
and turkeys this season in this man
ner He figures his loss at over $780,
If there was a bounty for coyote and
wolf pests there would be an induce
ment for hunters TO keep hounds to run
them down.

SHOWER OF LITTLE FISHES
"0reat Guns" ls What Passengers and
Crew Said When the Rain
Descended.

Great guns" is what the officers
and passengers and crew said to them
selves and to one another when Il
rained little fishes They were on
steamer that runs between New York
and Galveston. Tex. and they we're
sailing across the Gulf of Mexico,
about 200 miles from Galveston, when
they ran into a region of waterspouts.
Waterspouts are not urheard-of things.
There have been some on the great
lakes not far from Chicago within the
past few years. but you can always be
sure tbas something is going to nap
pen when you see waterspouts They
start in whirlwinds that pull the water
up to the sky 1t Is not the best thing
in the world for steamer to run into
one, and so the captain of this par
ticular steamer tried his best to keep
out of their way In avoiding the rest
he ran his boat squarely into the path
Of one Of them, and it Went to pieces
over the deck There was a food as
If the gulf had been turned upside
down. and for severc' minutes the
water continued to fall from the sky
in a solid mass With 1t came fish OF
all kinds and Of various sizes. They
had been sucked up as most persons
have seen rubbish taken up from the
ground by the tiny whirlwinds that
run across city payements and coun-
try fields in summer. They fell and
fell until the deck Of the steamer
looked as if it were wharf where
fishermen tie up their boats. It is
scarcely necessary to say that there
was fish for supper that evening.

WHY PRICE OF FURs IS HIGH
Manifold Handling Enhances the Cost
Many Times Over Their
Original Price.

The Siberian peasants, hunters and
trappers of animals for fur in the
vast marshy forests Of Siberia have
appealed through their communal vii
lage associations to their Russo-Eng
lish board of trade and chamber OF
commerce with the request to extend
to them some assistance in the es-
tablishment Of immediate and direct
trade relations with the English buy
ers of fur goods The complaint Is
that they are completely dependent
on the small buyer-up man and the
forestallers, to whom they are com
PEELED to sell for a trifie sable and
other valuable and rare furs. These
small buyer-up men and various mid
dIemen sell goods later on to other
dealers, and so on, until finally the
furs are sold at Nishni-Novgorod and
Moscow, for the resale again to the
representatives of the large Leipzig
firms, who, in turn dispose Of them in
the English market The manifold
handling of furs enhances their price
greatly, so that by the time they
reach the English purchaser the prices
are colossal as compared with their
original cost.

AT the request Of the new lecturer
the driver of the sightseeing wagon
stopped on every trip before an old
fashioned three-story brick house
near Washington square, where the
lecturer bawled through the mega
phone:
This is the birthplace of William
Howard Bidwell.
That statement brought a puzzled
look into the faces of the passengers,
but the lecturers impressive manner
awed them into silence and nobody
got up spunk enough to ask questions
But one day the driver said in a conf
dental whisper:
