The week following Fuller's testimony
was the week OF the impeachment, and It
was then that the name OF Mrs Sulzer

"Oh, l sort Of guessed, / suppose" /

The next morning I met Steve

"What do you Think" he exclaimed.
Indignantly. Sylvia Temple has just
confessed that those letters never

What? Why?" l shouted.
Because she sneaked back to the

fished them out with a piece Of stick

them up-that's why"

MUST BE HANDLED TENDERLY
Violin and V~ioIonceIIo Both Extremely
Sensitive to Changing Atmos-
pheric Conditions.

The violin and violoncello are most
sensitive to atmospheric conditions
and suffer from atmospheric varia-
lions quite as much as the tender vo.
cal cords of the singer.
Those who have attempted to make
the violin an ornament by hanging it
upon the wall have had reason to re-
pent taking such a liberty. The vio-
lin loses it's varnish and gradually its
pitch and timbre. The artificial heat Of
rooms in winter makes its tone rau-
cous when 1t does not obliterate it en-
tirely.
Metal cases, morocco covered, are
equally unfit for 1t. A strong, we'll
vanished wooden case, even though
1t be not especially attractive to the
eye, suits the susceptibilities Of the
violin much better. Certain qualities,
sometimes unsupported in the wood.
play an important part in the falsif-
cation Of notes, causing progressive
deterioration.
There was a time when manufacture
ers applied to their product several
coats Of paint. g., a concentrated
solution of bichromate Of sodium pot
ash In boiling water. The wood soon
acquired a yellow tone, and under tho
action of lights after drying, the color
darkened and took on the aspect Of
the very old paint.
For commercial purposes this was
all very well, but what happened to
the purchaser was that as o as he
began to use his instrument exposed
to the light the bichromate worked on
the gelatin which the manufacturers
employed to color the wood and pre-
vented the penetrating Of the varnish.
while some element in the bichromate
of soda was converted into stone. The
violin suffered petriication, which i'm
peded its tones and rendered it use
less.-Harper's Weekly.

City Men Needed on the Farm.

In many notable instances city men
are succeeding as farmers. II they do
not know all about raising grain and
handling live stock. they are able, as a
rule, to apply business methods to
their undertakings.
Successful farm management must
include a knowledge Of buying and
selling. In this particular the city man
Is apt to be ahead Of his rural neigh
Dor. It is essential to know what con.
sumers require, what the usual retail
prices are on farm commodities, and
the facilities available for transporting
and selling. The man Of city expert
ence understands these things, and he
goes In for a line Of produce like
onions, beans, potatoes, ducks, chick
ems and carnations and asters, on
which he gets big profits.
It would not be like q city man to
raise wheat at seventy-iive cents q
bushel and twenty bushels to the acre.
when he can get ninety cents q bushel
for onions and $50 bushels to the
acre. This Illustrates the whole idea,
and no truth is more striking than the
fact that city men r needed In agrt
culture,-From C. G. Bowsfeld's Mali
ing the Farm Pay"
