W litre the I'lMiin CJot Its
Just 200 years ago there lived, at
the court of Fringe Ferdinand de Med
ici, a Paduan harpsichord maker, by
name Bartollomeo Christoferi, a man
of great Inventive genius. After in
numerable experiments he solved the
prooiem, a long standing puzzle to tin
musical instrument makers of the pe
riod, how to make a satisfactorily
working “keyed psaltery,” and by the
method he invented of overcoming the
difficulties inherent to the task, pro
duced an instrument which was the
undoubted ancestor of the pianoforte
of today. For the piano is, in essen
tial, says a writer in the Universal
Magazine, a dulcimer with a fitted key
board; it is not simply a modification
board; it is not simply a modification
of the old harpsichord. The latter, if.
is true, did possess a keyboard, but
the depression of its keys caused a
“plucking,” harp-like action on the
strings and not the striking of a ham
mer, with controlled rebound, the pe
culiar character of the newer instru
ment. From 1709—the date when
Christoferi made his four “keyed
psalteries”—the piano, at first slowly,
but afterward by leaps and bounds,
went on increasing and increasing in
popularity, until now its manufacture
Las become a great industry.

it has accomplished a marvelous

"may have honestly learned by hard
labor an amount of money. Payment

if the sum is not promptly obtained
the cost of redress In most eases ex

then and there an anarchist at heart
is made. We take such cases up, ac
cept a retainer of 10 cents to help our
client's self-respect and collect the
money. That represents the totai

exacted. To date we have collected
over $Kfi5.000 for 115,000 individuals,

who alleged that defendant, by re
fusing to enter the car when ordered
so to do by a servant of the company,
and who persisted in such refusal
until force was employed, thereby
committed a breach of the peace.

Silver is once more in vogue for
jewelry of the simplest sort. In Bar
is just now women are wearing very
long fine chains in silver—hardly
more than a hair in thickness—and
suspending from them single unset
gems. Sometimes this gem is a ruby,
sometimes a diamond—emeralds, ma
trix turquoises are also seen. But
the most popular is, of course, the
sapphire, this being a sapphire season,
so far as both colors and jewels are
concerned.

KILLING TO CURE PATIENT.
Tb«> Old-TImr Method of Bleeding Pec*
pie to Heath.
All kinds of cures for rheumatism,
from bating to vibration, are now be
ing exploited. This disease, judging
from the amount of space devoted to it
in the public prints, is getting to be
more and more a common complaint.
"Tip'’ seems to fairly revel in new
and wlerd cures for the affliction, and
the patent medicine advertiseihents
set forth a tempting list of remedies.
Probably the reason that people with
rheumatism did not talk so much
about it in the old days was for fear
the doctor would be called in. One
has only to look over an old medical
book to realize that a visit from a doc
tor a hundred years a go was no joke.
Here is a book on "The Practice of
Physic,” printed in Edinburgh in 1784
—a hundred and seventeen years ago.
It is written by the foremost doctor of
his time, William Cullen, professor in
the University of Edinburgh, "First
Physician to His Majesty in Scotland,”
and member of all the learned socie
ties. In its day "Cullen's First Lines”
was the greatest medical text book in
the English language. Now this is
what Dr. Cullen would have done to
"Tip,’ or any other seeker after a cure
for rheumatism. The learned doctor
says: ‘‘The cure requires in the first
place an antiphlogistic (inflammation
checking) regime, and particularly a
total abstinence from animal food and
from all fermented or spirituous
liquors; substituting a vegetable or
milk diet. Blood-letting is the chief
remedy in acute rheumatism. The
blood ought to be d awn in large quan
tity and the bleeding to be repeated in
proportion to the frequency, fullness
and hardness of the pulse and the vio
lence of the pain. For the most part
large and repeated bleedings during
the first days of the disease seem to be
necessary.” In addition to these gen
eral bleedings the doctor recommends
local bleedings wherever there appears
any "swelling or redness.”—New York
Pross.
HYGIENIC BATHING.
1’uhlSc Swimming Fool IJ a n Reroun to
Faollo Health.
The dangers of the public swimming
pool should not be forgotten by those
suddenly interested in the subject of
cleanliness among the poor of the
cities. The proper methods of bath
ing are four: (1) By the bath in
ocean water at the seashore. For only
a very few of the entire people, and
for but one-fourth of the year is this
possible. Such bathing, like many
other kinds of bathing, is not for
cleansing the body. (2) By the bath
tub with pure water, possible only for
the well-to-do, and a limited number
in public bath houses. (3) By
the spray or rain bath, the sole meth
od advisable in public baths, and es
pecially if supported by the benevo
lent, by the state, or by city appro
priations. (4) By means of sponge or
towel at home, even with only a few
gallons of water. This method should
be encouraged by hygienists, physi
cians and all those who would dis
criminatingly help forward the cause
of the public health. The free swim
ming bath for the vast majority of our
people is impossible to provide if the
water shall be pure, and it is impos
sible to keep the water pure when it
is provided. We leave out of the count
the not-to-be-sneered-at fact that un
less the bathing is done unclothed,
soap and clc nliuess are not thought
of, and, even at best, modesty, that
hardly-won virtue, is not encouraged
in public bathing. The only incontest
able fact i3 that the public swimming
pool is a danger to, not a promoter of,
the public health. The newspapers,
the politicians and the selfishly charit
able are right in their efforts to en
courage cleanliness, but the mere de
sire to do good nowadays does not pre
vent the fianl result from showing
wasted effort, and, not infrequently,
positive evil. Science should ballast
our sentimentalism, and nowhere more
carefully than in socialistic experi
ment and fervors.—Philadelphia Am
erican Medicine.
King; of Denmark's Palace.
Fredensborg is the largest of the
King of Denmark’s palaces. It has an
Imposing exterior, and Is surrounded
by wonderful avenues of limes, but is
extremely simple in its interior ar
rangements. The bedrooms are small
and furnished in the plainest style, and
there are hardly any dressing rooms or
wardrobes. A very wonderful view
may be had from the palace roof,
which is made entirely of copper. This
metal is much used in Copenhagen;
some of the steeples have copper steps
Dy which they can be ascended. Rosen
borg has a handsomer exterior than
Fredensborg, and is full of beautiful
artistic objects, including, it is said,
the finest Venetian glass in the world.
Sprora for Snake lSlte.
Dr. Calmette, the director of the
Pasteur Institute at Lille, is the dis
coverer of a curative serum for snake
bite. He was severely bitten recently
by a poisonous reptile, and at once
gave himself an injection of his cure.
His hand swelled badly and acute fever
set in, but during the same day he was
well enough to attend a meeting of the
general committee of his department
xnd to make an argument in favor of
a grant of money to a sanitarium
which he has founded at Lille. On the
following day he was perfectly well,
having thus afforded in his own per
son, albeit unwillingly, a convincing
proof of the efficacy of his remedy.

cliltl*. Croup and 1’leurlay.
An outward application for bron
chial difficulties is many times far
more effective than syrups, cough mix
ture, cod liver oil, &c., simply because
it penetrates through to the direct
cause, which is, as a rule, an accumu
lation of matter or growth tightly ad
hered to the bronchial tubes.
St. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does
those wonderful penetrating powers,
ables it to loosen these adhesions
and to induce free expectoration. Cases
have been kno wn where expectorations
have been examined after St. Jacobs
Oil has been applied, and the exact
formation was clearly shown, wi’ere
the adhesions had been removed ‘or
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All ir
ritation of the delicate mucous mem
brane of the bronclue is quickly re
moved by the healing and soothing
properties of St. Jacobs Oil. In cases
of croop and whooping cough in chil
dren St. Jacobs Oil will be found su
perior to any other remedy.
St. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout
the world. It is clean to use—not at |
all greasy or oily, as its name might |
imply. For rheumatism, gout, sciat ca,
neuralgia, cramp, pleurisy, lumbago,
. oro throat, bronchitis, soreness, stiff
ness, bruises, toothache, headache,
backache, feetache, pains in the chest,
pains in the back, pains in the shoul
ders, pains in the limbs, and ail bodily
aches and pains it has no equal. It
acts like magic. Safe, sure, aud never
failing.
