First Zithers Believed
Used in the Swiss Alps

A either is harp-like instrument.
with the strings stretched over the
sounding board, and yet it is not
harp. You pick the strings like a
guitar, and yet it is not guitar.
You get pianoforte music out Of it,
and yet it is not piano. 1t is light
enough to carry under your arm
and you place it fat on the table
when you play it, advises writer
in the Los Angeles Times.
Its origin is somewhere back in
antiquity, and probably the first
ones played in the Swiss Alps, the
mountains of Tyrol or the hills OF
Bavaria, were patterned after the
harp with just a few strings. The
standard either has five strings for
the melody placed parallel over a
series of frets that will give as
many as four octaves. These are
played guitar fashion with the fin
gers of the left hand, and plucked
with a pick on the right thumb.
The four fingers of the right hand
must also control as many as "a
and more bass and contra-bass
strings placed to the right of the
melody strings. And playing that
many strings for the accompani-
ment requires some dexterity.
The either was probably only a
five-stringed instrument in the early
days, but as time went on they add
ed more and more strings to get
better effects and it got so compli-
Gated that the number of strings had
to be decreased. Then there were
different kinds Of tunings of the zith-
er, the Viennese, the Bavarian, and
Bohemian tuning, and so on. The
standard tunings of the melody
strings are a, a, d, 6 and C.
Koreans at Play
Korean girls like to play jump
board, game which is played on
board much like see-saw. But it is
very difficult. A girl stands on each
end Of the board, which is tilted
very high at one side. The first
girl jumps quickly, as high as pos
sible, and her partner is bounced
into the air some six feet. AS she
comes down the first girl flies up
ward. It is not as easy to land prop
erly on the downward flight. But
the Koreans are skillful at this
game aud like to play it often.

right people. None of these things
are done as obviously as our words
would suggest. There is much care
full fixing and ''wire-pulling" be-
hind the scenes. But it amounts to
exactly the same thing, and it is
all entirely foreign to the spirit OF
Christ.
Are there then no Christians who
humbly serve the Lord? Yes, praise
his name, there are many, and
wherever they are found they are
the salt of the earth. God uses and
blesses them to his own glory. They

Indians and State Names
American Indians had an inpor-
tant part in naming many states ct
the nation. Wyoming was called
"Mcheuwomink" by the Indians, q
Smithsonian institution survey re-
veals. Nebraska means ''hat wa
ter" to the Sioux tribes; Oklahoma
is the Choctaw word for red pee
ple," and Missouri got its name
from an Algonquin phrase meaning
''he of the big canoe" Minnesota,
literally translated from the Siouan,
means land of the sky-blue water"
Ancient Looking Glasses
Looking glasses Of the Seven

made with frames entirely of glass.
Gilded leaves and flowers carved

Founding Cleveland, Ohio

Cleveland, Ohio, was founded in
July, 1896, by surveyors from Con-
necticut, who represented another
company, which had bought broad
strip of land along Lake Erie. This
land had been claimed by Connecti-
cut by right of its old British char
ter, but it had relinquished rule over
it to the federal government, and
had sold the land to the Connecticut
Land company. The company, in
turn, resold farms and town lots to
folk in Connecticut, New York, and
elsewhere, and these settled the city
and the region around it.

A WARNING

We think it well to warn both :he old and the
young people who go to the county fair-or to the
state fair-to beware of some Of the amusement
features which cost money.
More particularly of the games which look like
a chance to win lot for a very little, and any
other kind of gambling.
Even when such games" are operated honestly,
the customers are the game" being taken in, with
big odds against them. And the operators of the
things are so slick that in the moment watching
policeman turns his back to look elsewhere they
can switch straight" game to a crooked one ana
make it sure thing that nobody will win except
as the operator wishes.
Last years Wayne county fair carnival was DEN
Sitely more decent than the affair of the year be-
fore but even at that, much of it was nothing Tor
any county TO be proud about
The city and county governments are allowing
this years fair to be held taX-free. The only good
reason for letting a carnival come to town on such
terms is that the real county fair of local eX-
hibits is more important and valuable and worth
supporting than the carnival. Whether or not this
years fair comes up to the mark ought to deter
mine decisively whether any more such taX-eXemp-
tions are granted in the future.-Goldsboro News
