It was Started With a Doinar In the Year 111. "In the year IS11," says 11. E. Arm strong in Ainslee's Magazine, "an anonymous citizen of New York sent a dollar to the treasury department at Washington with an avowal that he had defrauded the government and wanted to make restoration. A dollar meant somethiig to Unele Sam in those necessitous days when the coun try verged on war with Great Britain. and it was a pai:riotic as well as a pen itent act. The contributor was the founder of the conscience fund, and probably he died in the odor of sanc tity. "During the preceding thirty-five years of the life of Ihe republic to one had despoiled the government, or the private conscience was callous. This New'York man, indeed, seems to have been the one blemish on a golden era of national virtues, for fifty years were to elapse before there was an addition to the fund. "In 18G1, just after Sumter was fired on, the sum of $6,000 in bonds was re ceived by the treasury department, with a letter explaining that a sorely tried conscience could no longer en dure its burden of guilt. The plain in ference was that the sender, realizing the United States would need a mint of money to carry on the war, judged it not to be a time to defer repentance. Think of the bouny jumpers who prof ited by his contribution! "It was really useful to the country in another way. The conscience fund, which had languished for wart of a shining example, now became active. It has been quoted pretty steadily ever since. At the present time it amounts to more than $300,000. Indeed, restitu tion is getting 'to be the fashion, and the time may come whea no one will take advantage of the government or do so only with the laudable design of swelling the conscience fund when any emergency confronts Uncle Sam." -ITALIAN VIOLINS. The First "Strad"' Sent to London Could Find No Purchaser. Italian violins have not always held the supremacy they now enjoy. It was not indeed till the beginning of the nineteenth century that they came into vogue to any extent ottside their na tive land. Previously Jacob Steiner (1621-83) was the favorite maker, and his high model had been almost exclu sively copied by his fellow Germans and the different makers in France and England. When the elder Corvetto, who had been a merchant before enter ng the musical profession, came to London, in 1738, he brought with him some instruments by Stradivari. The result of this endeavor to introduce Italian work Into England fills one with pathetic wonder. It is almost beyond belief. As he could not get as much as E5 ($25) for a violoncello he was obliged to send the instrument back to Italy for a bad speculation. Five rinds for a "Strad," and not a single purchaser to be found! This incident in itself furnishes suffi cient testimony to the slavish following of the great German maker and the strong prejudice of the violinists of that period in favor of the high model. It is Indeed the players who are most to blame for the slow adoption of the fat model, for the creator must make what is necessitated by the demand; but the eighteenth century fiddlers, at any rate in England, France and Ger many, seem for the most part to have been content that their violins should possess a small sweet tone, never real izing the lack of power and sonority. Connoseur. He Said to Himself. Kansas enjoys the distinction, possi bly, of being the only state in the Union where a man has been allowed by a court of inquiry to testify regard ing what he said to himself. A committee had been appointed by the legislature, says The Green Bag, to nvestigate the alleged bribery of certain members in connection with a defeated railroad bill. The first wit ness called testified that he saw one of the representatives late one night com Ing down the hotel stairs. "I said to myself," he went on, but a member on the side of the defense jumped to his feet. "Hold on!" he shouted. "You can't testify about what you said to your self!" The prosecutor retorted that there was no law to prohibit him from so testifying. A long argument ensued, but a majority of the committee agreed with the chairman that the testimony was admissible. "I said to myself," seriously proceed ed the witness, "that M1. had been up to Billy's room to get his pay." The testimony was recorded and made a part of the official record. Chinese Points For Hosts. "Don't eat with your ears," says Yuan Mel, a Chinese writer, "by which I mean do not aim at having extraor dinary out of the way foods, just to astonish your guests, for that is to eat with your ears, not with your mouth. Bean curd, if good, is actually nicer than birds' nest. And better than sea slugs, which are not first rate, Is a dish of bamboo shoots. "The chicken, the pig, the fish and the duck-these are the four heroes of the table. Sea slugs and birds' nest have no characteristic flavors of their own. They are but usurpers in the house- I once dined with a friend who gave us birds' nests in bowls like vats, holding each about four ounces of the plain boiled article. The other guests applauded vigorously, but I smiled and said I came here to eat birds' nest, not to take delivery of It wholesale." He Understood. Anton Rubinstein, the Russian com poser, in his autobiography tells of the confusion which overcame a certain architect of his acquaintance who had a habit of interlarding all his remarks with the phrase, "You understand." On one occasion he was explaining certain architectural matters to the emperor, and, according to custom, made free use of his favorite expres "Good heavens!" exclaimed Emperor Nicholas at last Irritably. "Of course I understand! My dear fellow, how could I belp it?" Husbands' Motto a Bible Verse. The' Husbands' Protection society of London has as its motto the naive verse found in what is known as the Wife Beater's Bible, published In 1549, copies of which may be fo'und in many museums and libraries. This verse is as follows: "He dwelleth wyth his wyfe accord inge to his knowledge and taketh her as a necessarye healper and nct as a bonde servant or a bonde slave. And if she be not obedient and helpfull to hym he endeavoureth to beate the fear of God into her heade that thereby she may be compelled to learne her dude -an to do it"-Londnn News. VALUE OF AN HONEST EYE. A RExinmess Man Experience In Hir. iug an Om1ee Ass:stant. A bus;iness man said that he once de voted half a day to hiring a man whom he needed in his oflice. In an swer to his advertisement a great mar.y applicants called. le rejected the first because he would not look him in the eye. "The second nian," said the merchant, "was armed with a double barreled recommendation from his pas tor, with testimonials as to his busi ness ability and good character; but, though lie looked me in the eye, I saw that we could never hope to get along well together, and so I dismissed him. The third interested ic the moment he stepped inside the dcor. ie was poor ly dressed, and, though his clothes were whole, they were at least two sizes too small. It was evident that his attire troubled him not the least, for he held his head high and as he ap proached my desk looked me squarely in the eye. He said that he had no rec ommendation, that he had no business experience, but that he was willing to do his best to please ine. In an instant it dawned upon me that before me was the man that I was looking for. He had nothing to recommend him save an honest, bright eye and a pleas ant face, but that was sufficient. I en gaged him on the spot. "Since then I have seen fit to ad vance him over a man who had been with me three years. The latter grum bled, but there was reason for my move-the new man had proved him self worthy of promotion." Instances might be definitely multi plied of the value of an honest eye. That wonderful window of the soul, the eye, Is a sure index to character. If you have it not, cultivate a bright, honest, straightforward look. It will more than repay your effort. Look up and fearlessly meet the eyes of those' with whom you converse. Many a choice position has been fost through an indifferent, flinching eye, and many a coveted position has been won through a fearless, honest eye. That kind of eye is better than a hundred recommendations.-Success. SOLVING A PROBLEM. The Green Country Brakeman Who Introduced the "Saw By." Many years ago a green country boy applied to the superintendent of a western railway for work and, some what against the superintendent's ish, on account of the danger to life and limb attendant upon such occupa tion, was given a place as brakeman of a freight train. On one of his first trips it happened that his train met another freight train at a station where the sidetrack was not long enough to accommodate either of them. The conductors were debat ing which train should back up to a point where they could pass when the new hand ventured to suggest that nii ther should back; that they could pass each other by means of the short side track if the thing was managed right. The idea excited a good deal of laughter on the part of the old train men, but the boy stood his ground. "Well, how would you go about it?" asked one of the conductors, confident that the lad would soon find himself against a stump. The boy took up a stick and traced in the sand a diagram to illustrate his plan. "Good gracious!" said the conductor. "I believe that will do It!" And it did do it. Today every train man in America probably knows how to "saw by" two long trains on a short sidetrack, but It is not so generally known that the thing was never done until an inexperienced country boy who became the manager of a great railway line worked out the problem for himself. HIS ENGLISH FRIEND, A Viit That Wrecked the Nerves of an American lecst. "I've been having the time of my life. I tell you," said the suburbanite gloom fly to his city friend at lunch. "Wha's the matter? Pipes burst? Furnace won't work? Dog killing the neighbors' chickens?" asked the friend. sympathetically running through the list of the suburbanite's usual griev ances. "No; worse than that," sadly answer ed the first speaker. "I've been hav ing an English frIend visit me. It's years since I've been across the water, so one or two of his ways were a little strange. The worst of his doings was what has broken me up so. He went to bed the first night before the rest of us, and when I came along the corridor an hour or so later there were his shoes standing outside his door and frightfully muddy too.* "I looked at them In astonishment. Then I remembered the English cus tom of having the boy come up for the boots. We keep only two servants, you know, both women, and of course in the country you have to rub them the right way or they'Il leave. I knew perfectly well that if I told either of those free and Independent Irish wo men to clean the Englishman's shoes we'd be left servantless, and that would have been the death of my "I lifted the shoes gingerly by two fingers and carried them to my room. When I thought the servants must be asleep, I crept down stairs and got .to work with a brush. At every sound I would nearly jump out of my own boots and drop his. I fancied every moment that the girls would seo my candle and give the alarm of burglars or that my friend would be taken Ill and get up and tind me brushing his shoes. Oh, I had a pretty time of i He stayed a week, that Englishman, and what with loss of sleep and ove strained nerves I'm a wreck." "Well, why on earth didn't you have the moral courage to'' "Moral courage! I'd like to see the man who'd have the moral courage to tell an English gentleman with a mono le that the ways of even well bred people in this country differ from those he's been accustomed to! My friend, you do not know the breed!" And he drowned his sorrows and braced his nerves with a second cup of unsur passed coffee.-New York Tribune. The Best Telephoned City. What is the best telephoned city in the world? San Francisco seems to be the answer. In that city, with a popu lation of 342,782, there are 21,324 tele phones, or sixty-two per thousand. In Europe, Copenhagen is probably the best telephoned city, with 15,311 tele phones to its 312,859 of population, equal to forty-nine per thousand. In Copenhagen, too, the best conditions for the public exist, although the rates are relatively as high as those in Amer ican cities. London compares very un favorably with these figures. At the beginning of this year there were 41, 111 telephones to a population of more than 5,500,000, or a proportion -of sev en to every thousand people. New York, with a population of 2,350,000), a 54m4 instruments, or twenty-six WANTED TO GET IN. He Was Willin; to Join if It Didn't Cost Too Much. A lank, long countryman stood out side of the reading room door of the 1i brary of congress and looked with long Ing eyes at its gorgeous interior. Admit tance had been refused on his declar ing Ithat lie had no intention of reading, but he l irid near the door hoping somingt~ : v:m!i turn up to let him in. Finai.: i a;u :l)roached the door keci-. in't get in, boss?" he "Ne: e Avant to read." was the di: "A A:.midut be any object to you, v.-oi: t.M 1:oss y' The iloorkeeper shook his head and waved the insistent vititor away. In a few moments three members of con gress approached and. nodding to the doorkeeper, said, "We :re members, you know," and passed in through the door. The countryman darted forward again. "I say, boss," he asked confidentially, "how much does it cost to be a mem ber? I belong to one lodge already, but ef it ain't too all fired much I'll go you, for I certainly do want to git in thar and set down a spell; I certainly do." New York Tribune. Asiatic Humor. "At one of the public dinners given by Ameer Abdur Ilahman Khan," says Mr. Stephen Wheeler in his story of' the ameer's life, "an excited native rushed into the midst of the assembly and prostrated himself in front of the ameer. "'Sahib!' he gasped. 'The Russians are coming!' "'From what direction are they visi ble?' asked the ameer without chang ing his expression. "'From yonder hill,' replied the na tive. "'Climb that tree and watch until they come!' was the royal command. "The native ascended to the topmost branches and was forced to remain un til he dropped to the ground." "Political upholsterers," whom Addi son described as "grave persons," may see in this anecdote evidence of the ameer's full confidence in Russia's In tentions to."ard Afghanistan. It Is more probable that it was a manifes tation of that grim humor which was of the quaint oriental stripe with which the "Arabian Nights" have made us familiar. A Chinaman's Protest. The Peking Gazette, speaking of Chi nese In foreign lands,-says: "We dress and speak differently from foreigners, just as foreigners do who come to China. But nobody In the streets calls us 'Chinese devils.' The children In the streets wish to see how long our cues are, but the police, seeing them annoy us, scatter them. When we go into a shop to buy any thing, we are treated with even more consideration than their own people. We enter their homes, it is the same. They seek to please us in every way, show us curios or play the organ or piano for us. The writer has been to France, England, America, Japan, Spain and South America and stayed years, and everywhere he was treated with the same courtesy." It is to be feared that some Chinese laundrymnen in this country would not wholly indorse this view. His Particular Muse. He had been calling on a young lady and had been talking against time for several hours, not noticing that shej was, to say the least, slightly wearied. "Do you know," he said, after com pieting a monologue of several thou sand words and thinking a little fiat tery would be appreciated, "while talk ing tonight I have felt as if I were in spired by one of the muses. And which one do you think It Is?" He looked searchingly into her beau tiful face. The modest blush for which he was watching proved to be a wide yawn, which grew wider as she an swered: "I guess the muse that inspires you tonight must be Euterpe." He didn't really know anything about mytology, so he couldn't tell just what she meant. But when he got home he took down his encyclopedia, and there in cold type, staring him in the face, he saw: "Euterpe-the muse who presided over wind Instruments." Be Patient With Pussy. If you want to train a cat properly, remember that pussy is not the stu pid animal pictured by common super stition. Cats certainly are not so in telligent as dogs. Neither are they so sociable. But once they get to know what is wanted of them they are easi ly induced to do It to the best of their ability. Kindness and patience go a long way with cats. A little whole some correction is good for a dog, but use a whip to a cat for one tinle only, even if ever so sparingly, and its value as a trick animal is destroyed forever.. Cats are simply bundles of nerv'es cov ered over with fur, and even an unkind word or a glance from any one they love will cause them acute suffering. When the Rod Was Not Spared. The change of thought and condi-! tions of mankind is no better illus trated than by the history of the rod. In an article on the morals of the child by Dr. Grace Peckham Murray there is mention made of a Suabian schoolmaster who during his fifty-one years of superintendence of a large school had given 911,500 canings, 121,-r 000 fioggings, 209,000 custodes, 136,-! 000 tips with the ruler, 10,200 boxes on the ear and 22,700 tasks by the heart.-: Delineator.
