German court regulations forbid
waltzing. This veto dates back to 1859.
when the Empress Frederick. then
crown princess. was trlpped up by her
partner In a waltz and fell at the feet
OF her mother-in-law. The Empress
Augusta. a despot on the score Of eti-
quette. forbade the inclusion Of waltEes
thenceforth in all balls at the New
palace. SO far the kaiser has resisted
the pressure brought 10 bear on him
TO revive the waltz. Dancing at the
Berlin court always opens with polo
naise, and the rest OF the program is
filed with quadrilIes and polkas, the
sehottishes and the mazurkas.

Major Butler Carried His obstlnaey

Many amusing stories are told Of
the great formality blended with a
humorous brusqueness and independ-
ence which characterized early RevO-
lutionary days. An incident of camp
life is related by the author Of "Ro-
nance and Realism of the Southern
Gulf Coast"
In 1893 the flrst United States
troops that came down the Mississippi
were quartered at Fort Adams. Cen

Major Butler. Captain Green and 9TH
er officers were merry over their
punch one night. and the general by
some accident got his cue burned off.
Angry at the laugh which followed his
mishap, he next day issued an order
forbiddlng any officer to appear with
cue. Obedient to orders, all the Off.
GERS but Major Butler cut Off their
cues.
"The vain old prigr' said the major.
"l'll see him hanged before cut Off

The major was put under arrest. but
he declared obstinateiy that he would
spend the rest OF his life in prison be-

command. Soon afterward he was

CREATING A VIOLIN.
No Hard and Past Rules to Guide ths
Artist Mechanic.


Viollns are the most delicate and
uncertain of musical instruments to
make. Tlare are no hard and fast
rules to follow. It is like making a
human voice. The quality differs ac-
cOrding to the wood. the seasoning and
the construction Of the few parts In It.
The violin contains the fewest parts
Of any musical instrument invented,
and It seems like the simplest Of them
all to make. But. alas. It defes the
expert. the practica. mechanic and the
musicianl Anybody can make a VIC
lin. but few can make a good one.
So. with the exception of compare
lively few factory vioIins. most Of
them are produced by individual In
strument makers. who spend more
loving care over thcm than a mother
does over her first child.
A violin maker is an artist me
chanlc. sort of anomaly in this age
Of machinery. With pot OF glue. a
few sharp tools. a cabinetmake er's
bench and few sticks Of wood he
will labor diligently in the creation Of
an instrument that may give forth the
sweetest. the widest. the weirdest and
the strangest musical notes. He will
glue his instrument together and then
take 1t apart twenty times to adjust.
the fraction of an inch. the bass bar
or the sounding post. A creator of a
violin may spend weeks on a single
instrument and then find. to his dis
gust. that It does not satisfy. The ex-
act point where the sounding post-a
stick Of wood only a little larger than
q match-should be placed can never
be determined in advance It is a
mystery that ever recurs in each new
violin.
Then the wood is OF so much impor-
tance to the violin maker-nOne OF
your fresh timber nor kiln dried stuff
1t must be seasoned by years. even by
decades and centuries. Every time a
century old house is demolished some
musical maker is likely to appear on
the scene and make a quiet bid for
some of the thin old rafters. To the
novice they may seem worthless, but
the violin maker may find in this cen
tury old timber just the wood for his
beloved instruments.-Chica Record

Factories In Which Dark colored
Clothes Must Be Worn.
Light suits. Of clothes are not favored
in factories where work is done or
gold. In fact, in many such factories
dark suit Of clothes is absolutely re-
quired. and even a light waistcoat may
lose a man a job The reason for this
is that any stray grains OF gold that
may get on the clothing can easily be
caught on dark suit, while they
might get away from the establisli-
ment if light clothes were worn
That such a rule was enforced
among gold workers one man learned
recently when a Bohemian gold beater
applied to him for helping hand. The
Bohemian said that be had only re-

and they were the only clothes he had
The man whom he approached was
struck by the story and offered to help
him out II 1t proved true he went to
a downtown factory with him and
found out that the man could have the
Job If he presented himself within an
hour with the proper clothes on. Two
dollars enabled the man to rig himself

enough. he got the job.
You may think this strange" said
the man at the factory. "but it means

In honor Of her guest, placed upon

Mr.. Bright tasted the jam and at

never eaten any so delicious, he de-
clared. There was a peculiar tang
about it which surpassed his rccol-
