JOHN BANISTER.
An English vioIinist Who Won Fame

An English vioIinist Who Won Fame
In the Seventeenth Century.
Public concerts owe their direct en-
couragement to John Banister, who
had won fame by his playing on the
violin and who succeeded the cele.
brated Baltzar as leader of Charles
IFS band of twenty-four violins.
Pepys. In an entry in his diary for
February. 1867. tells us the court gos-
sip of the day-"how the kings viallin
Bapister is mad that the king hath a
Frenchman come to be chief of some
part Of the kings musique."
Banister's concerts at the close of
the year 1872 were advertised In the
London Gazette as follows: These are
to give notice that at Mr.. John Ban
lster's house tnow called the musick
SCHOOL,. over against the George tav.
ern in White Fryers. the present Mon
day will be musick performed by ex-
cellent masters. beginning precisely at
4 Of the clock in the afternoon, and
every afternoon for the future pre-.
cisely at the same hour"
Four years later on we read again.
"At the academy in Little Lincoln's
Inn Fields will begin the first part Of
the parley of instruments. composed
by Mr.. John Banister" The admis-
sion was at this time as rule a shil.
ling, and these concerts seem to have
been held pretty regularly down to
within a short time of Banisters
death, which took place in 1679.-Lon-

TALE OF A NAIL
The Queer Way In Which q Crime Was
Brought to Light.

SeSht 70 1i9nts
DR.. John Donne. the famous Eng.
llsh divine and poet. who lived In the
reign Of James l.. was a veritable
Sherlock Holmes. One Of his famous
exploits was as follows: He was
walking in the churchyard while q
grave was being dug. when the sexton
cast up mOldering skull. The doctor
idly took II up and in handling 1t found
q headless nail driven into IL.
This he managed TO take out and
conceal In his handkerchief. 1t was
evident to him that murder had been
done He questioned the sexton and
learned that the skull was probably
that OF a certain man who was the
proprietor of brady shop and was
a drunkard. being found dead In bed
one morning after night In which h-
had drunk two quarts Of brandy.
Had he wife?" asked the doctor
Yes" What character does she
bearT "She bore very good charac-
ter, only the neighbors gossiped be-
cause she married the day after her
husbands funeral She still lives here"
The doctor soon called on the woman.
He asked for and received the par.
ticulars of the death Of her husband.
Suddenly opening his handkerchief. he
showed her the telltale nail, asking in
loud voice, Madame. do you know
this nailT The woman was so sur
prised that she confessed, was tried
and executed.-London Tit-Bits.

DEAD SEA WATER.

It's Density Is More Than Double That
of the Red Sea.
The Dead sea contains % per cent
Of solid matter and is bulk for bulk
heavier than the human body.
Many believe that it is impossible to
swim in this sea. and even in Jerusa-
lem ridiculous fables are told as to the
impossibiity of bathing there and that
no animals or vegetation can exist
pear its shores.
So far as swimming is concerned,
the excessive buoyancy of the water
simply renders it difficult to make
much headway, but swim is both
feasible and enjoyable. Care should
be taken, however. not to let the water
get into the eyes.
Indeed did Palestine belong to any
power but Turkey probably the north
ern shore of the Dead sea would be a
popular bathing station. No doubt the
chloride of magnesia which enters SO
largely into the composition of the
water would be found to have medici-
nal and curative properties.
Perhaps better idea of the density
Of the water of this inland sea may
be realized from the following statis-
tics: In a ton of water from the Cas-
plan sea there are eleven pounds Of
salt; in the Baltic. eighteen pounds; in
the Black sea. twenty-six pounds; in
the Atlantic. thirty-one pounds; in the
English channel. seventy-two pounds;
In the Mediterranean, eighty-fve
pounds; in the Red sea. ninety-three
pounds; in the Dead sea, 1877 pounds

BUFFALO TONGUES.
The Blaokfoot Indians Used to Turn
Thorn Into Hairbrushes.

Thorn Into Hairbrushes.
"Walrus whisker toothpicks and buff
falo tongue hairbrushesw the explorer
cried.
And he displayed a packet of black
toothplcks tied with strip of red raw
hide and fiat black hairbrush that
seemed nodded out of rubber.
These two articles" said the ex-
plorer, "are of strictly native man
ufacture-native American manufac-
ture. Take the toothpicks first. They
are made by the Indians of Alaska
The Indians, whenever they kill wal
rus, pluck from his face his long and
stiff whiskers, cure them and ship
them to the Chinese. At every fash
ionable Chinese dinner you will see
the stately mandarins between each
course picking their teeth with these
walrus whisker toothpicks.
'Its the Blackfoot Indians who use
buffalo tongue hairbrushes. A buf-
falo's tongue is rough. The spines on
1t make very good hairbrush bristles.
And these bristles in Blackfoot brush
don't come out. for the Blackfoot sim
ply skins his buffalo tongue, cuts 1t in
hairbrush shape, cures 1t, and there
you are.
Every Blackfoot in the past had his
buffalo hairbrush. But those days are
gone-gone with the buffalo herds
and where in the fifties you could buy
good buffalo tongue brush on the
plains for ladle Of puppy dog stew l

While making some professional calls
in sparsely settled district l came
upon little plump, rosy checked girl
trudging toward home with her slate
and dinner pail In her hand. I asked
her to ride with me- I could see that
she was very timid child, and efforts
to engage her in conversation were un-
availing. She would meekly answer
Yes or mo-" but not another word
would she speak.
A few weeks later I was called to
the little girls home to attend another
member of the family for a slight all
ment. When about to leave the moth
er spoke up smilingly and said: do
you remember my little girl riding
with you a few weeks ago? Well.
when she got home she said, Mamma.

you when you talk with them, and I
didn't have any money '"-National

A Means Of Recreation For the seden.
tary or Bedridden.
Speaking Of conjuring, the allied art
of Juggling is one of the most anus.
Ing and valuable of diversions, espe-
cially to the sedentary. Many physi-
clans become expert in juggling. but it
Is to their patients that it is most
useful.
The bedridden. If they retain the use
Of their hands, may beguile many a
weary hour in learning to keep three
or four tennis balls in the air at once
and in balancing sticks and other SIM
pie objects on the forefinger or on the
chin.
For the brain worker who does not
care for walking there Is no better
recreation. 1t has often occurred to
us that in cases where there is any
reason to fear some form of paralysis
the educating of disused cerebral,
cerebellar and spinal centers by the
rapid and complex movements requir-
ed in juggling might serve to act as
an efficient preventive.
We do not wish to claim too much
for manual education of this kind. but
we may point out that 1t tends to per-
feet nervous poise and that no juggling
trick can be properly done II the per-
former INDUCES in dissipation even so
mild as beer and cigarettes.-American

certain occasion he attended q
church where the minister took as his

fiattered when the latter quoted about
half of the Psalm of Life" After re-
peating the verses the minister said,
81 could never read that poem without
feeling the inspiration with which 1t
was written" To this incident Long.

For the third time Mrs. Brown hur-
ried from the kitchen door toward the
fence at the rear of the yard. Sud-
denly she stopped, stopped and, appar-
emily satisfied with what she saw,
hurried back TO the house.
From the security of her kitchen
door she watched her husband plowing
In the field adjoining the yard He
plowed around land" and each
round took him little farther from
the house. An occasional Gee, therer'
or whoa, haw, therew foated up to
the watching woman.
As Mr.. Brown turned corner and
came down on the furrow parallel to
the back yard fence Mrs. Brown set
her lips tightly, pulled her sunbonnet
well over her face and hurried toward
the fence. This time she reached her
goal.

"Whoaw And Mr.. Brown, resting
his hands on the plow handles. turned
an impassive face to his wife.
Martha White is going to have a
vacation" she faltered. "She's going
to stay two weeks"
Jared continued to gaze upon his
wife in silence
Seems as If I'd give most anything
I've got If l could go away and stay
two weeks" she went on bravely,
"and oh, Jared, haven't seen Ellen or
William for ten years; my own sister
and brother, and I'm getting old, and

1t was Jared's method of saying no.
Mrs. Brown looked after the plodding
horses through binding tears. She
watched him until he was ready to
turn upon the farther parallel furrow.
Then she hurried back to the house
lest he should see her standing there
II did so want to &C." she moaned
II haven't been any place to stay over

She cried little when she reached
the house, but tears had never come
easily to her, so she soon stopped and
took her knitting out on the little side
porch.
"Oh, dear mel" she sighed after
awhile. II can't seem to keep my
mind off my vacation Oh, dear me!
I most wish we didn't have any chick

She folded her knitting and, awk-

around to the front porch.
'"Therew she said grimly. Now

She dropped her knitting presently
and sat with folded hands while her

She carried her chair back to the

The next day she wrote to her sister,

The explanation is that when we

to the arteries supplying the muscles
of the legs than they were receiving
while at rest. This has been proved.
As the same thoughts in the mind pro

What would he think? l must stop,

She sat silently thinking for some
time longer, but could not make up
her mind to cut short her vacation.
Jared had gone to the barn.
MARY lied to me-" he thought sor-
rowfully on his way thither. There
was nothing there. and nobody had
been there. She lied to me-"
He harnessed the horse and hitched
up with trembling hands. He was
desperate enough for any deed, and
going into town to bring out a doctor
seemed to him the rashest of acts.

to the asylum" he mourned as he
climbed into the buggy But she
amt to say crazy. She's just childish.
Maybe it'll be so l can hire some one
to stay with her"
:, His face was tragic as he went into
the doctors Office and none the less
so when he came out.
He hesitated not at all, but drove
straight to the minister's. That lie
weighed heavily upon him. He would
save Mary's soul as well as her body.
Mrs. Brown was not in sight when
the three men drove up to the house,
but they heard her singing. The min
lister bent forward and held up his
hand.
"Listen!" he said
The words came softly and clearly
to the ears of the waiting men:
1.-THE spirit is willing the flesh is weak,
And the way I cannot see,
And fear II try may sadly fail
And thus may dishonor thee
The minister sighed, and the doctor
cleared his throat as Jared led the
way to the house
Here's some people to see you,
Mary" he said, opening the door then
beat hasty retreat to the barn.
Half an hour later the doctor and
the minister found him there. He
raised haggard face to them. The
doctor began his explanation severely,
but Jared did not care. A great and
solemn happiness settled upon him,
and the doctors voice softened.

what to blame" he finished gently.
"Yes," said Jared 81 realize all that

"I've said it a great many times
now" the doctor answered good hui
moredly. "Ill take Mr.. Davis home.
You go in to Mary
Jared went. At the door OF the sit
ting room he paused. Mrs. Brown was
mechanically moving around the room
putting things to rights, She looked
old and worn and tired. She did not
see Jared until he spoke.
MARY, how'd you like to go and
make Ellen a little visit?"
Mrs Brown looked up incredulously.
There's the chickens and the milk
to tend to. and everything" she said

to come out and stay while you are
gone. You can go as soon as you

He watched the color come slowly
back to her cheeks and the light to her
eyes. There was feeling in his throat
that had not been there since the baby
died, thirty-f1ve years before. He
swallowed hard.
'I'll go up to the garret and bring
down the trunk" he said gruffiy.
