Remarkable Violin Fast.

An ingenious test of old and new vio- uns, in which an instrument of mod ern make was voted the finest. has been made in Paris. During the per formance both critics and performers were in complete darkness. so that ii was impossible to see which one of the seven violins selected for the test was being played. Then immediately after being used the instrument was placed under a cloth. and the lights were turned on for few moments to en able the critics to write down the votes. All the yiolins were played by two musicians of high standing. and the compositions were written especi- ally for the test. The two violinists tried to bring out the best in each violin, and the result. decided by the votes, was interesting. The modern make of violin led the list with 102 votes, and it's nearest rival for favor was Stradivarius with 96 votes. Other old and famous makes of violins received S2, S5. S3.

Sensitive to Art.

Said the art gallery guide. "Just watch the crowd awhile and see which of their antics impresses you most"
 Presently the visitor said. ''I think it is the queer attitudes so many of them strike"
 Exactly" said the guide. "They are initiating the poses of the figures in the portraits. Anybody who sits for a portrait is supposed to strike a graceful attitude. All these people who have never been painted realize the grace there is in the poiSe of the head. the turn of the wrist. the slope of the shoulders. They wish they could look like that. and unconscious ly they try it. The men are as bad as the women. They straighten up: they droop: they tilt their heads; they arrange their hands and feet in imi- tation of the figures they admire most.
