Resin on the Violin.

One of the queerest superst'tiol's
about the violin Is the idea that the
resin should be allowed to accnmu-
Int and cake under the bridge. with
the idea that this improves the tone.
Clogging the surface of the belly or
the violin with a foreign substance
can only be detrimental to THE tone.
If the resin which accumulates under
the bridge is busted Off with cloth.
after use, from the time the violin is
new, the varnish will always retain
its beauty and luster. If left on II
ruins the varnlsh in time and forms
an unsightly cake under the bridge.
This is Injurious to the violin and to
its value. Thousands Of people imag'
inc that the more unsightly an old
violin IS the greater its value. This
IS a great mistake. Old viOlins. IKE
old coins. are much more valuable
when well preserved. A good or bad
state of preservation in a Stradiva-
RUS violin, for instance might make
q difference of several thousand dol
lars in its selling price.

Old-Tin,e horn Books,

One of the few specimens Of horn
books still in existence hos the al
pl,abet in large and small letters, the
vcwels and conspnants, the Lords
Prayer and the Roman numerals. The
first line in horn books was always
Known as the cross line, as a picture
OF the cross ended It, symbolic OF the
theoy; that the end Of learning Is piety.
The horn books were generally about
nine inches long and five inches wide.
One of the reasons for their disappear
ance is that they formed handy weap.
ons in school-boy disputes, and even
oak boards break when brought into
contact with the bullet heads Of youth.

1.-THE Colonel"

The reverence Of the late Gar Mich.
elias for the memory of his father man.
Tested itself occasionally in strange
ways. For instance, he, the supreme
chief Of the Russian army, never con-
scented to assume higher rank in the
army than that Of colonel, to which
he had. attained under the preceding
reign. This touching but somewhat
puerile act of .filial pfety did not help
his prestige in military circles, where
he came to be referred to always as
1.-THE colonel" sobriquet which In
the end savored of mockery and GER
tain disdain.-London Opinion.

a Portland Port.

W: Il: Mallock, in new book, Of
memoirs, tells. of "a certain occasion
when. being with swlnburpe' ut a
friends house, Swnburne drank port
wine, became ptaleative and told how
he came to- write three poems Of
which he was proud. In Nlallock's
words: "Then, like a man waking up
from dream, Swinburne turned to
our host, and said nervously, Can
you give me another glass Of port|
His glass was filled, he emptied it at
a single draught, and then lay back in
his chair like a, child who had gone to
sleep, the actual fact Being as his
host soon recognized, he was drunk.
He was not, think, intem-
perate in the sense that he drank too
much. A very little intoxicated him."

owe CAPTURE TO CURIOSITY
Simple Process by Which Natives Make
Prisoners Of Active Denizens Of
the Jungle.

The native method of capturing the
bowling monkeys Of South America is
by placing some sugar inside nut
shell which is very large and ut the
same time has small opening left in
one end when the meat IS removed.
These hunters watch the trees, and
after spying one or more monkeys Sc
lecl time when the little creatures
are watching them and put the nut
shells on the ground. Then they walk
away, and are scarcely hidden when
the monkeys cautiously descend from
the trees and begin to examine the
shells. Curiosity and the lump of
sugar inside prompt them to slip their
hands into the openings, and after
grasping the sugar they endeavor to re-
move thei: hands, but while doubled
up they ara too large to come out. OF
course, the monkeys could release the
sugar anu withdraw their hands easily,
yet their inquisitive nature and love of
sugar are SO strongly developed that
they refuse to do so. The hunters are
peerinS through the underground. and
just as the animals get their hands
into the shells they leap out and give
chase to them, knowing that as long
as their curiosity has not been salts
fed they will cling to the lump of
sugar. These bowling monkeys are
clumsy enough on level surface, but
when one hanG is incased in big shell
glove as large as coconrt, it IS a
comical sight to see these active .crea-
lures trying to climb n tree. AS
result. they are soon captured by the
hunters anl placed in large sacks to
await the next visit Of purchasing
agent for some menagerie. This in
quisitive nature Of the monkey tribe
was we'll known by the anclents. one
of the old Yables describing how Il
monkey endcavored to secure a hand
full Of some delicacy from l. narrow
necked jar and then withdraw its hand
while holding It.

chicado Does Not Boast Of This.

The real meaning Of the word Chi
cago is one that: residents Of that
proud city are more than anxious to-
keep under cover. 1t came from an
Indian word "shegang," and when it
was adopted it was believed to mean
mighty" or "strong." In way It
did, but not in the way the founders
of the city believed. 1t was mighty"
or "strong'' only in relation to unpleas-
ant smells and was first used to desi2-
nate the skunk. Later it was given by
the Indians to wild onion Is violent
in its smell as those Of garden cultiva-

ANOTHER BOUQUET FOR THE
EDITOR

While some splendid men were
elected in the recent primaries, and
we were delighted with the general
results, there were just a few
mysteries not to be solved. Let's
take as an illustration, the case or
dear old Frank Harris of the Ocala
Banner. There is not man in Flor
ida more widely known nor generally
beloved,
And still as a candidate for just
one of the delegates to the San Fran
cisco convention, Frank Harris was
defeated. But beaten as he was, let
us here say that the two kilograms he
received, one from Ex-Governor Albert
". Gilchrist. and another from Robert
E. Davis of Gainesville, are more high
ly to be praised than any honor any
election may have meant.
Both of these were elected, and
their kilograms were of one and the
same import:-"If you are defeated,
wire if you will go as my proxy"
We say that these messages con-
veyed something more than mere ex-
pressions of regret. They were time
ly tributes. Tributes to whom trib-
ute is due" Tribute to man whose
more than three score and ten" years
of life and useful service, have been
sacrificed upon the altar of duty and
devotion to his party and his country.

JOHN EDGAR PROCTOR

1t is with the deepest regret that we
chronicle the death, at the Marion
county hospital in Ocala, of Mr. Ed.
gar Proctor, son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
r. Proctor, of. this place. The young
man contracted typhoid fever while
employed near Dunnellon, and came
home several weeks ago for treat
ment by DR.. II. K. Slaughter. He was
taken to the hospital, but the disease
had taken too firm hold and he
died last Monday morning.
Mr.. Proctor saw service in France
during the war, and received his hon.
orable discharge. Besides his father
and mother, he leaves several broth
ers and sisters to mourn his untimely
death. The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Mr.. Martin. Inter
ment was in the Oxford cemetery. At
the grave a squad of ex-service men
paid honor to their comrade.
