"There,,Is a vast amount of horse hair annually used in the United States for making and repairing violin, violincello and bass viol bows," said a dealer in such materials to the writer recently. "All of the hair comes from Germany and Russia, in which countries the tails of horses are generally allowed to grow longer than here. The foreign hair is also coarser in texture, and tougher than, that which grows on the American horse, and these qualities make the imported article more valuable than the domestic nroduct is for the pur pose. "There are only two kinds of horse hair suitable for making bows, and they are of the white and black varieties. The former is used for violin bows, and the Matter, which is heavier* and stronger is we best'material for making bows' for 'cello and bassr viols, because it bites the larger strings better. The imported hair is put up in hanjra thlfty-six inches long, which is five or six inches longer than the standard violin bow. A hank is sufficient for one violin bow, while two hanks are required to hair a 'cello or bass viol bow. There are about one and one-half ounces of hair in a hank, which is worth from twenty to thirty cents, according to the quality of the hair.* SICKLY LOT.

In 1839 this remarkable object (technically..cahed "Mamo") was in the possession of His Majesty, Kanikeaouli, who inherited it from his father, the celebrated Kamehameha, in whose reign it was completed. r(At one tirptr it belonged to Kekua-skalani. one of the highest chieftains of the Sandwich Islands.

(The Solitary or Lonely), by whom it was presented to Captain J. H. Auliek, of tbe United States Navy. Some idea of the amount of work ex pcnaea in making tnis war cioaic may be gathered from the fact that the time required for its manufacture extended through the eight reigns preceding that of King Kamehameha. It is four feet long, and ha3 a spread of eleven and a half feet. The ground work is coarse neiting, made of olona, a native hemp from the fibre of the hau tree, and to this the feathers, " "hich are exceedingly delicate and very small, are skillfully attached, overlapping each other and forming a perfectly smooth surface. The feathers around the border are reverted, and the whole presents a bright and beautiful appearance, as of a mantle oJ gold. The upper and lateral borders of the cloak, which are corded with a string of the olona, are decorated with alternate tufts of red, black and yellow 'feathers. The body is decorated with alternate figures, generally crescent shaped, composed of either red or yellow feathers. The inner surface Is wi'hout lining and shows the olona network and the quill ends of the feathers. The cord of thg upper margin is prolonged to form a fastening at the throat. * ' The yellow feathers are those of the rare bird Oo, or Uho, Mohoa nobilis, while the red feathers are taken from the body and neck of the Drepnnis coccinea, one of the most abundant birds inhabiting these islands. It is the yellow feathers, however, that are of such great value. They were at one time used by the natives in payment of a poll tax to the King. Only two of these yellow feathers are obtained from under the wings of each bird, so that the number of birds captured PROFESSOR AND MADAME PIE RADIUM, IN THEI ?From the I It is reassuring to know that any one who wishes to buy radium can now procure it at a cost of $0000 per gram.

Since then they have regained something like their former numbers. But we do not have half enough! It is impossible to have too E $1,000,000. many. From every point of view the bluebird is most desirable. He has no faults; he does not even take toll of our fruit But he needs protection. Nearly every nest is robbed. Not one egg in four hatches and produces a mature bluebird. The way to protect bluebirds is to provide a nesting place that is safe from cats, mice and squirrels. The red squirrel is the worst offender. In May and June he scours every tree in the woods, and even comes around the houses. The bluebirds are hard pressed to find any kind of nesting place at all, and when they do the chances are against them. The bird-house shown here is perfectly safe, and within two hours after I made it the bluebirds were making their nest in it It is a very simple matter. Get a hollow limb or make a box of weatherbeaten boards, close both ends, raintight, and make a two-inch opening near the top. The cavity inside should be about three inches across and four or five inches deep. Nail or wire the box to a post set securely in the open where no squirrel" or cat can jump down op it trom above. Then stop everything from coming up the post by a sheet of tin or an old pan that encircles the post This result is best accomplished by cutting an "X" in the tin and shoving the post through; then nail down the flaps of the "X" to the post. Mondav Snlclde. It is stated that there are more suisides Monday than any other day, but no attempt is made to give a reason for this fact. Somebody points out that Monday is usually wash -day, and it should be added that a boiled dinner usually goes with it. The clothes line may, perhaps, suggest the fatal rope, and the clothespin nasal asphyxiation. There are blue Mondays, too. and It may be possible that the suicides have their own peculiar Ideas about starting the week right. Five Yards of Ttaln.
