A Paris newspaper recently announced
the salo of one of the most curious vio
lins in the world. It formerly belonged
to Paganini, the great violinist, and at
first sight merely presents the appear
ance of a misshapen wooden shoe. Its
history is curious, and not without in
terest.
During the winter of 1838 Paganini
was living in Rue de la Victoria. One
day a large box was brought there by
the Normandy diligence, on opening
which he found two inner boxes, and,
wrapped carefully in the folds of tissue
paper, a wooden shoe and a letter,
stating that the writer, having heard
much of the wonderful genius of the
violinist, begged, as a proof of his de
votion to music, that Paganini would
play in public on the oddly constructed
instrument inclosed.
At first Paganini felt this to be an im
pertinent satire,and mentioned the facts,
with some show of temper, to his friend,
the Chevalier de Baridc. The latter
took the shoe to a violin maker, who
converted it into a remarkably sweet
toned instrument, and Paganini was
pressed to try the shoe violin in pub
lic.
He not only did so, but performed
upon it some of his most difficult fanta
sias, which facts, in the handwriting of
violinist, are now recorded on the violin
itself.— New York Telegram.

PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION.
"Mr. Racquet," said the landlady
severely. "I should think from the looks
of this bed that you must have slept in it
last night with your boots on." «
"Yes, ma'am, I did," replied Racquet,
without the suspicion of a blush to tinge
the interesting pallor of his cheek.
"Will you have the goodness to tell
me why?" asked Mrs. Badger, in raise
your-rent-half-a-dollar-a-week tones that
would have chilled a less undaunted
spirit.
"Why, certainly, ma'am, just as liof
tell you as not. You see last night was
very frosty, and as you haven't put
clothes euough on my bed I fairlj' ached
with cold. So I got up and put on a
pair of tight boots. They acted as
a counter-pain."— Boston Post.
A Prehistoric Canoe.
"A prehistoric cance was unearthed
not long ago in digging a canal through
Barton, near Manchester, England, and
it appears to be an extremely interesting
relic," said a traveler at the Laclede.
"It was brought to light by the steam
shovel and wa3 imbedded in the sand
about twenty-five feet below the surface.
With some difficulty the canoe was re
moved to a shed in the vicinity of the
engineer's office and examined. It wai
found to consist of a portion of an oak
tree, roughly hewn and fashioned. Ia
length, this relic of a long past age, is
thirteen feet eight Inches from end to
end, with a width of two feet six inches.
Notwithstanding tho lapse of centuries
the marks of the ax are distinctly visible
iu the interior of the canoe, tho width of
the blade of the instrument used—
whether of flint or iron—being apparent
ly about three inches. Unfortunately
the vessel sustained some damage in the
ruthless grip of the 'navvy,' the bottom
having been cut through at tho bow end,
while a portion of one side was brokeu
in. Hut for this mishap the canoe would
probably have been recovered practically
intact. I saw tho boat just alter it was
taken out. The bow is shaped so as to
have a projecting block, through which
a hole is diiven, evidently for the pur
pose of fastening it by means of a rope.
A gunwale runs clear around tho canoe,
which is shaped just like a modern Indian
canoe, aud lastened by means of pegs of
wood. Not a particle of iron was used
in its construction, and it was practically
impossible to fix the exact period of the
canoe. I believe tho boat can now be seen
in the museum of Oweus College, Man
chester."—St. Louis Star- Sayings.
Chemical Preservation of Wood.
Numerous experiments have developed
the fact that the application of a solution
of sulphate of copper will greatly add to
the life of wood. If done effectually it is
calculated that it will double and treble
the lasting quality of wood exposed to
tho weather.
The best method of preparation is to
displace the sap of the wood by thorough
air drying, and then exposing the wood
to a bath of sulphate. Careful examina
tion shoW3 that it is not the mere pres
ence of excess of the sulphate that pro
duces the improvement; but the com
bination of the oxide of copper with the
cellulose of the wood. For example, if
linen or cotton cloth be impregnated
with cupric solutions, and afterward
rinsed in water until all the metal salt is
removed, it will be found that the sub
stances or materials will remain unin
jured for long periods if buried in the
earth. Wood thus treated becomes harder
than any common dry wood, and its
elasticity is unimpaired. Economy in
many ways is not yet closely studied.
There is no doubt a great future in the
science aud practice of rendering wood
more resistent to'climatic decay and de
struction by lire.— Clay Journal.
Watclispriutrs Are A fleeted by Weather.
"It is singular," said a watchmaker,
"that a spring confined and protected us
in a watch snould be seriously affected
by the weather, but in the trade it is
quite common to loak for a run on main
springs at certain times of the year, and
during August the call for them is heav
ier than during two ordinary months,
presumably because there are generally
thunderstorms audi sudden changes dur
ing that month. It is not a question jf
the quality of tho spring, some of tie
very best going to pieces under weather
influence and other quite ordinary oies
outliving tho watch."

During a shooting match in presence
of the Governor of Candahar the latter
noliced to his astonishment that the
heads of sparrows were the favorite butt
of the marksmen, who but seldom missed
their aim. Whereupon he declared
that it was far more difficult to hit an
t'frir. Sir Peter laughed at the supposi
tion, but the Sirdar stood his ground and
the matter was put to the test. Ac egg
was suspended on a wall and the soldiers
Grcd at it, but strange to say not one of
Ihem hit the egg.
The Governor and his suit kept their
countenances and excused the non-suc
cess of the firing party on the ground of
the difficulty of the thing. At last a
ball happened to hit the thread to which
the egg was fastened and it fell to the
ground without breaking. Now the
mystery was solved; the cunning Afghan
had used a blown egg, and the feather
weight shell had been moved aside each
time by the current of air in front of the
ball and thus escaped being hit.— Tag
lische Rundschau.
Llghtuing Conductors.
Dr. Hess, who has been collecting sta :
tistics and has examined the tips of
many lightning rods, finds that fusion of
the points never occurs. A fine smooth
point receives the lightning in a concen
trated form, while angled or ribbed, as
well as blunt points, divide it into
threads. Dr. Mess considers that plati
num needles and tips are entirely unnec
essary, for they have no advantage over
copper points; but as there are light
ning strokes which are capable of making
wire 0.20 inches thick incandescent, un
brancheu copper conductors should never
be of less diameter than this, though in
a good lightning rod the main point is
to secure perfect communication between
it and the earth.— Scientific American.
Soapstone.
Soapstone, or steatite, can be made in
to anything. Very beautiful stoves arc
made of it, and stationary washtubs and
sinks are important products. Not an
ounce need be wasted, for the dust is
used to adulterate rubber goods, giving
so-called gum rubbers their dull finish,
and in paper, too, it is used to givo
weight, while all waste can be ground
up into a flour which can be made into a
fireproof paint for the interior of mills
or the rout's of buildings. Scientific

Deafness Can't be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There in only one 1
way to euro deafness, and that is by const it u- j
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- j
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the j
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in- :
flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, i
deafness is the result, and unless the inflam
mation can bsj taken out and this tube re
stored to its normal condition, hearing will be
dent roved forever; nine cases out of ten are
rausea by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we
cannot euro by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure,
