CURKDltYAFHOTOHUAMI.
Charlie CorntvK.ll and lit wife enjoyed,
ilpring the Mrst year or to of their matrlaRQ,
tho bliiwful lH'llef that each had been tin
other' first love. HUH, although t'hnrlle mu
fully iierwiailed that hh I.tiey had never
een anything Iiivahlo lu man liefore h met
lilm, and although l.tioy v, at convinced that
her limlmiul IomiI licrltli truo ami un
adulterated affection, Mrs. Cornwall could
not entirely throw nil the dlstrmt of the op
Mltn which it always to some extent innate-
In woman. Nothing, however, hap
pencil to Interfere with the lmnnony ami ha
pine of thilr life together until Charlie,
having amweml a M'ry tempting advertise
ment in The Kid' I, anent n shooting-box in
Imcrnexs-ihlro which wai to 1 let on appli
cation to it certain "X. Y. S5.," and having
concluded the liwvwary arrnnjjt'tnenU, bad
tranxirteit hlnwlf ami wife, thither.
Uxn tlie llrst day after their arrival,
whll-t C'liarllu went round with the keeper
over the ground which It wo propwed to
break on thn morrow, Mm. Cornwall was
pretty fully occupied In arranging the little
houj to their requirements. Kxierlcnce of
country-houne viilts and seaside npartnients
had taught Lucy Cornwall, amongst other
things, that the drawers of wash-hand stands
aro ery often the receptacles of the must ex
traordinary rubbish nnd odds and ends, but
during all this experience ho had never met
vrith such a shock as awaited her during her
explorations of this llttlo remote Highland
shootlng-lMx. In one of the aforesaid drawers
she found a photograph of her Charlie, one of
a set which she remembered ho had taken
when their billing ami cooing was In full
swing, Uon which was written in his hand
virltlng, "From your ever truo and ulTectlon
ato Charlie." The photograph had certainly
not lieen given to a man, or mch an Inscrip
tion would not havo graced It, but had, w ith
out doubt, lieon given to borne woman, w ho,
finding herself deceived, had thrown It away
in disgust.
So she waited the arrival of the uncon
scious Charlie with that stem joy which
women, as well as warriors, sometimes feel.
Her heart beat quick when a well-known
step and a careless whistle down-stairs pro
claimed the approach of the victim, and she
made no answer to his "Lucy I Lucy! Where
aroyoul Here's a Highland welcome for B
fellow who has been tramping about since
brcakf ast-tlme, and w ho Is tired, wet and
nungryl Hullol"
The lost ejaculation wis the resutt of his
first glimpse of his wife's face. He saw at
onco that something had haptiened during
his absence, and, therefore, composed his
features to o suitable gravity.
"Why, what's the matter, Lucyl" he con
tinued. "You look as if"
.Mrs. Cornwall cut him short with magis
terial severity.
"Charles Cornwall," she said, holding up
the photograph, "explain this if you please!"
The unfortunate man gazed at his own
counterfeit presentment, and tho color fled
from his cheeks.
"Explain what! Explain this photo 1" ha
stammered. "Why, my angel, I wonder
you're not ashamed to keep such a hideous
work of art. It was done wMht we were
sweethearting, liofore I grow my beard.
There's a coat! There's a head of hair! Hal
hal I never did come out well never!"
"Charles Cornwall," continued his wife,
still keeping her relentless gazo fixed on the
unhappy man's guilty face, "I found this
photograph In a drawer upstairs. Now, how
did it get there I"
"My dear, good soul, how on earth am I to
knowl" replied Charlie. "I gave it to some
fellow, I supose, and he "
"No Charles," said his wife, "not to some
fellow. When one man gives his carte to an
other, he does not, as a rule, describe himself
as ever truo and etTectionate.' Women may
be fools, Charles, but your wife is no fool.
There's a nvystcry here which I must and will
have cleared up. O Charles, Chariest How
often you have sworn to me thai I was your
first and only love 1"
About a week afterwards, Charlie came in
from shooting, and said:
"My dear, I met 'X. Y. Z.' to-day for the
first time. He is very anxious to know if we
ore quite comfortable here', and said that ha
hoped very shortly to do himself the honor of
paying us a visit."
"H'm! lerha the lady whom you so sig
nally favored will coma with him," said Mrs.
Cornwall, with sarcastic emphasis.
"We shall see," replied her husband. "He
didn't suy anything about bringing a lady
w itfi him. Khali I ask him to!"
"Oh, dear, ) es, of course," replied Mrs.
Cornwall. "You must be anxious to see ons
to'whomyou are ever true and affection
ate after all this time. Oh, yes, ask her by
all means. It would lie such a delicate act of
courtesy toward me. What is 'X. Y, Z.V
name!"
"Fordyco Richard Fordyce," replied
Chailie,
The mention of this name produced a
strange effect Uon Mrs. Cornwall, which
Charlie could not fall to note: the color
left her cheeks, her breathing came
hard and fast, and her fingers began to
tw itch nervously,
"Well, my dear, what's the matter!" he
asked.
"Oh, nothing," replied Lucy. "I-I don't
feel very well. I think this Scotch air Is
rather too strong for me. I would like to go
south again."
Much a sudden indisposition of one who hod
been, up to a few seconds previously, in
robust health made Charlie Cornwall ponder.
Why should the name of Richard Fordyca
produce such a strange and immediate effect I
Evidently there was something below the sur
face, and as he had during the post few days
undergone an Intolerable persecution at the
hands of his wife, he was in no mood to leave
any stone unturned by which be could turn
the tables on her, So he replied:
"Nonsense 1 Lucy, nonsense 1 You haven't
been there long enough to get accustomed to
the air, so dont talk already of going south
when we've yet tw o months to run. Resides,
my dear, I'm curious about this utfalr of th
photograph, and when Fordyco comes I'll
ask him If he knows anything about it.
On the very next morning Charley, as he
was smoking his after-breakfast pipe, saw
Fordyce coming up tho garden, but, for rea
sons of bis own, he did not allow himself to be
seen, and did not go out to greet his visitor.
He listened, however, attentively, and after
hearing his wife run hastily down stairs, he
heard Mr. Fordyce's cheery voice slug out:
"Why, Lucyl who would have thought of
meeting you in this out-of-the-way cornerl
We haven't seen each other since "
Here Mi's. Cornwall, interrupting, said,
"Hush, Dick, husbl I'm Mix. Cornwall now.
We must not be as we were to each other, for
if my husband were to know that we were
acquainted, I can't think what he would do.
As it is, I'm in a dreadful tlx, on account of
a photograph of his which I found up-stairi,
and which"
At that moment Charlie, w ho had Intently
followed tho little chat up to this point, and
who feared that further absence on his part
would prevent the truth about the photograph
becoming known to'him, appeared.
"Glad to see you, Mr. Fordyce," he said, ex
tending his hand. "Xdont think you know
Mrs. Cornwall but "
It was difficult to say who loosed the more
uiicomfortabl Lucy. Cornwall or Richard
r'ordyce, ami ChifHewho now taw a chance
of being abb) to. pay oft long arrears of jeal
ous persecution, enjoyed their embarrass
ment thoroughly, and continued:
"Iiut'perhai you have met before!"
''Y-yes,' Mr. Cornwall, I think I once had
the pleasure'," sheepishly murmured Fordyce.
"Kgadf1 thought Charlie, he must have
made a jolly good Use of that 'once.' I
rather think . there's something more to come
Rut he only said:
That's all right, then; I needn't introduce
you." ,And to his wife's relief he went on
talking generally about the house, and the
prosiecU of the season, and of one thing and
another, until she was utmost lulled Into a
sense of security, and began to think that
after all he was not so very anxious to solve
the mystery of tho photograph. Mho was not
so well pleased, howeer, when Charlie In
sisted that Fordyco should rain back to
dinner after the day's shooting, for she knew
very well that men wax very much
more eloquent Uwn certain subjects over
their after-dinner claret than ill the presence
of their wives.
So when Fordyce had gone, she belied the
opportunity, and said to Charlie:
"I think it is very Inconsiderate of you,
Charlie, when I tell you that I don't feel well,
to ak a man lu to dinner "
"I can't put hlui off now," replied her hu
band; "and I think he would lemark your
ubence, especially us he seems to be an old
friend of jours,"
It May bo Imagined that Mrs, Cornwall
patnod a sufficiently miserable day. If she
could but get hold of Fordyce, she might bt
able to stavo pit what now seemed luuvituble
eiKsuret but he was out on tho moors. She
accordingly uatud at dinner, smothering
lieruuiiety under uimuk of atfability, and
nothing oceurivd during the progress of the
muul tu U'uder her cjieciaHy unhappy Rut,
when she rose to leate the two men to their
wine, Charlie saldt
"You don't mind smoke, Lucy, and it will

drawing-room, so stay with us. I am iur

Of course, both the visitor and Lucy
gladly acquiesced.
"Yes, Mr, Fordyce," said Charlie, as It In
continuation of a broken-olt conversation,
"wo nro exceedingly itimfortoble here) but
wo might Iw a great deal more so It"
"Now It's coming," groaned poor Mrs.
Cornwall tu herself.
"If," went on Charlie, "you could
help us tu clear up n little mat
ter connected with a photograph ol
myself vthlrli Mis. Cornwall found a fen
days ngu lu n drawer tiitalrs, and for tht
existence ot which I cannot for the life ol
luu account, mid which, not unnaturally,
perha, makes her u llttlo uneasy,"
"What will Dick say, I wonder!" though!
Mrs. Cornwall.
"A photograph of you found In a drawei
up-italrsl" exclaimed Fordyce, In astonish
ment. "Yes," said Charlie. "Lucy, my dear, Jusl
run Upstairs, and bring the photograph fol
Mr. Fordyce to see."
Mrs. Comwell ruso and left the room.
Charllo sejzed the opportunity, and said to
his guest I
"Iiok here, Fordyce", we are men of th
world, and understand each other. Of course,
I see how matters stand, although the pres
ence ot that photograph here is still a mys
tery to me. When I was spooning Lucy,
was not, such n fool as to believe that a
pretty glil like her would have no othei
mbnlrer but me, and, of course, I'vi
never lielleved her when she has told
me that she never loved any one but
me. Hut you mv she's very Jealous, now thai
I havo a chance of giving her a lesson, I don'l
want to let It go. Understand, eh!"
Fonlyce nodded, nnd Mrs. Cornwall en
tered with the photograph, which she handed
to him.
"I want' you to look nt it," sold Charlie, In
a calm, judicial tone, "because, to lie quit
candid with you, It luis caused a good deul ol
unpleasantness lietneen us, nnd when twa
people marry for love, as we did, and each ii
tho other's" first lo e, such a calamity as ill
feeling ought to be impossible."
Then, turning to Mr. Cornwall, whose ex
ipjislto misery during this uxposo of tho state
of affairs tu an old flame may be imagined,
bo said, "All 1 w ant to do, niy dear, is to
clear myself in jour eyes by having It plainly
proved that tills photograph was never given
by me to uny other woman, as you suspect tc
be the case."
Fordyco began his answer withn roar ol
laughter.
"Well, Mr. Cornwall, he said nt length,
"you have been so exceedingly candid with
me that I must tie tho same with you. "Thla
photograph, Mr. Cornwall, I took from the
lady who Is now your wife, when I was bead-over-heels
in love w Ith her."
"That was going on, then, at the same time
as my courtship of her," said Charley,
quietly.
"Yes," replied his visitor; "I was a rival o
yours, although I did not even know your
name."
"And I had no idea that 1 had a rival,'
said Charlie, determined that the arrows now
wounding his w lfe should be well barbed.
"Then, when 1 found that she had a photo
graph of you," continued Fonlyce, "I was
jealous and took It away from her. And then
I lost sight of her altogether, although 1
beurdshowus married, forgot all about the
photo probably threw it away in my dlsaji
pointment and there it has been ever since. tt
"Now, Mrs. Cornwall," said her husband,
with airected severity, "I hope that you are
satisfied that at any rate I am not the
sinner."
"Oh, yes, Charlie dear, of course I null"
sobbed Lucy, "I've been ery cruel and
wicked, and 1 hope you will forgive mel"
The CuratUe Power .of Nature
The old writers recognized, in a blind sort
of way, that there was a force in the human
organism which tended toward recovery
from disease. This they called "the cura
tive power "of nature." Ono of the glorious
triumphs of modern medicine is a more per
fect appreciation of this great tact. "To let
well enough alone," and to not weaken or
pervent the action of any organ or structure
unless it is clear that something Is to be
gained by so doing, are the results of this
fact being duly appreciated. The "klll-or-cure"
doctrine is utterly abandoned by all
who hae aoy real knowledge of modern
science.
In order to secure tho full operation of
"tho curative powers of nature" the sick
dog goes away by himself and obtains rest
and quiet. All the intelligent animals do
the same. Itest for the debilitated body, or
of the portion of it .injured by overuse or
disease, Is ono of the most efllcient methods
of obtaining a restoration to health. The
signs that rest is needed may be visible only
to thoso w ho have studied the action of the
organs in healthy. Host of one part may
bring injury to health organs. Exercise of
the natural powers in health is generally tbe
only method of securing their future healthy
action. Cor. O lobe-Democrat.

In resnonso to tho intiulry 1l1etber brass
bands were not getting out of fnshlon In
nnaller citiei and vlllagos, wliero a fuw )car
ago they iveR' all tlio rage, Jtr. John F.
Stratton, tlio ex-liutulmusU'i', sitltt to a re
porter!
"You wouldn't think so If you saw tho let
Ura that come hero every tiny niklng about
Instruments nnd prices, nnd tho Inquiries
front members of newlyorganinst tiatnisas
to combination.') and iiosltions. I'll tell ion
of some of tho questlotu hale asked us
and what wo reply to them. For Instance,
ono writes that the Instrument of tho band
that ho belongs to aro 'ovcr-the-shoulder,' and
their cornets are 'beU-fronls.' mini no
wants to know Iswbcther tho cornet-players
shall march in the Ilrst or rear ranks when
tho baud is on parade. What tlo you supjiosn
I tell such a maul It Is this: l'ut tho comet
players in tho front rank and tilako them
march backward, so that tho sound of all the
Instruments will go the samo way. It may
bo a little Inconvenient for them, but they
richly deserve It for being so stupid as to get
front comets to uso with ovcr-the-slioulder
instruments.
"Another wants to know which metal give
the best tone brass, German silver, or cop
per. To this, we sny that tho old-fashioned
idea is that brass is tho best, but some think
that copjier is, liecauso it U soft and gives a
soft tone, while others claim that German
silver i, liecauso it Is hard and gives a hard
tone, lluttheso ideas aro all notional. It
depends entirely ujioii tho maker; there is no
dill'erenco whatever if tlie instrumental nra
proiwrly made. Another thing that troubles
people who want to get up a band is whether
'bell-front' and 'upright' Instruments are but
ter adapted for general use than the over-the-shoulder
description. This depends upon
what the general business of a bund is. A
brass band is supiiosed to be a military band,
to play for military antl other parades. Cer
tainly, for parades, over-the-shoulder instru
ments are tho best, and for this reason! A
band is engaged by a company military,
llreiuen, or civic; w hen marching the sound
goos directly toward those for whom th
band is playing, nnd consequently they have
It much better than they would U tho Instru
ments were front or upright. Then, agaiu,
suppose your instrument) are front and up
right, and the band in the rear have tht
same, by which would your company keep
step! For all other outdoor business over-the-shoulder
Instruments are equally as good
as upright. Hut for reed bands, or lor lndoot
concerts, the front and upright lnstrumenti
are preferable."
CHEAP, SECOND-HAND INSTMIMENTS.
"Don't you have calls for second-hand In
struments)" was asked.
"ilany of them. Tho inquiries come foi
cheap, secoud-haud instruments which would
do for us to learn on. Tho writers young
musicians usually add: 'We aro going to get
a Cheap set to learn 011, and ii wi
make a success of it wp shall ralsi
money and buy a set of your instru
merits.' Nothing could bo a greater mistakt
than such a plau. If there is any one class ol
human beings in the world who should hav
good, easy-bloning, true-toned Instruments il
is a class of beginners, and if they do nol
have them 'to learn on,' the chances are in
nine cases out of ten they never will learn. J
simply tell such people: 'If you doubt youi
own ability and pluck, don't get up a bandi
but if you do get up one, buy Instrument
that wdl be a credit to you instruments that
you can blow, not buch as are merely madi
to sell.' But, talking about second
hand instruments, why does a man
or a band wish to trade off old
instruments? Always, I say, because
they don't want to play 011 them any more.
They are either played out or they were pool
ones in the first place. Suppose I take tbest
in exchange can I sell them without lying
aud deceiving)
"I used to get my living once as a leader
and teacher of bands. I did that for years,
and it seems to me that it there ever was a
'lame duck' in tha baud it was always that
t fellow with the second-hand instrument, iiou
Biany times have I grabbed the instrument
out of his hands to show him how to play hli
part, and I found I couldn't play it myself
decently not on that instrument; and I am
ready to bet every teacher who hears about
this has had tho same experience. A man
may be pretty 'thick-headed,' but if ho hoi
got a good instrument one that blows easy
and is in good tunt he can toot away, und ut
least not do much harm, that is if ho don'l
play too loud. But if ho has got an old,
worn-out, w hoozy instrument, all out of tune,
and you wish to play a good, nice, slow move
ment or a song with long holding notes, you
aro in for it, that's all."
"What are the drums made of)"
"The shell is usually of either blrd's-eyc
maple, mahogany, rosewood, white holly,
brass, nickel-plate or German silver., Th(
heads are of calf-skin, und the sticks rose
wood. A regulation-sized snare drum is a
sixteen-inch head and twelve inches high. A
drum major's baton is usually made of ma
lacca, mounted with brass, nickel-plate 01
gilt, and with worsted or silk cords aud tas

It would be well it the cruck-bralned votaries
