Ilarfaln with Coast Wen-I Traottman.dorr. A Stniner violin wa sold in Lubeck recently for $750. Early In this cen tury It was purulinncd for $100, which was then considered a high price for it. Since that time, however, the Talue of Staincr Instruments hns risen so re markably that the price paid in Lubeck Is regarded as phenomenally low. The most costly Stainer in the world was sold in 1791 for $6,000, under these curious circumstances. The German Count Wenzul Trauttmaosdorf enter tained at his castle Emperor Charles VI.. King Frederick William of Prussia and other Princes of high and low degree, such as flooded Germany in those dissonant days. For their pleas nre he had arranged violin concert by Faustina and Mauro Alessi. Alesi played on a wonderful Cremona in strument so exquisitely that be moved the Couut to tears. After the first con cert the Count determined that he must have the Cremona for his own private concert master. Ue offered fabulous sums for it, but Alessi said he would sooner sell his life, and so the negotiations came to naught The rumor of the Count's attempt to get the Cremona went abroad, and some week later an unknown old man appeared at the castle door with a worn and shabby violin case under his arm. The servants refused to admit him. "Tell your master," he said to them, "that heaven's music is waiting at bis door." The Count received him. The old man drew from the unworthy case a perfect instrument, the work of Jacob stainer's own hand, and played it so marvellously that the Count and bis people forgot all about the Cremona. The old man was willing to let his in strument go on the condition that' he might pass the rest of his life near it and play it once daily. The haggling as to the price lasted for two weeks, at the end of which the Count got the Stainer by agreeing to give the old man $150"in money at once, free food and shelter for li'e, free light and wood, one new suit of clothes annually one-half a bnsbel of wheat and $b monthly, all the bares be could eat, a measure of wine daily, and two huge barrels of beer every year. The old man lived almost twenty years after having made this contract, played al most daily on his adored instrument before the Count, and consumed fully $6,000 worth of the Count's money and provisions. Uis violin is still preserved intacL It was last played in 1854, at the marriage of the Emperor Fraoa Josef of Austria. The maker of all "Stainers," as well as the father of the German violin, was Jacob Stainer of Absnm, in TyroL He lived from 1621 to 1683. EXCITINC TRAVEL. Cnoomfnrtablo Adrantarca or Two Ea fll.h Ladle. In Uritlah India. A journey from Calcutta to Jumal ire. described in London Society ft' v an English lndv seems to have been uncomfortably full of adventure and variety. It was before the days of rail ways in India, and she and her friend were carried by natives in palanquins. They were asleep, when suddenly down went the palanquins on the ground, and with shrieks of "Saarl saar!" (tiger) the naMvos disappeared. "Our lirst instinct was to lock the outside door of our fragile fortress. Bound the palanquin the creature kw stalking, switching his tail against the doors. Then he seemed to spring and fall heavily on the roof. ' "Who could describe our awful terror? What if the natives did not return! We had no firearms and little food. We dared not open tho aper ture an inch for fresh air. "The time wore on. Dawn came. With the lirst glimmer of day hoarse, uueartbly yells resounded close by, and believing that all tho wild beasts of the jungle were upon us, we gave ourselves up for dead women. "A trampling as of a million feet, crowding and scuffling; then the light grow red, as with a fearful jerk our palanquins were pulled asunder, and torches revealed the natives, who had returned at last with a score of vil lagers. They branisbed huge sticks, and informed us by gestures that the tiger bad bolted and that we were safe. "At the bank of a river most ot our natives disappeared again. After a long half-hour they returned, with several of the villagers, carrying large, wide-mouthed earthern gurras,' or pots. With a good deal of gesticula tion we were made to comprehend that there was only one niodo ot cross ing the river. Frightened and norvous, we each stepped into an earthen pot. These were lifted by two natives and launched on the water. "My friend was in front of rue, and I felt decidodly uncomfortable as I saw her frail and certainly original bark pushed violently by A native who swam behind. Eventually we reached the opposite shore, . cramped, limp, dizzy, and thankful to collapse on a heap of stones, whilo the palanquins, with each of their feet incased in smaller pots, made their voyage to ward us. 'We had had enough of excltemeut and novelty, and were glad at sunset to fiud ourselves at Jumalpore. Tber Both Snored. Hotel clerk Good morning, colonel, how did you sleep? Colonel I did sleep some. Isupposo, but I was awake the uiost of the night listening to tho snoring of tho man in the noxt room.

Major I got sleep occasionally dur ing tho night, but there was a fellow in the uext room to too who snored as if he wero tilling a contract to saw forty cords of wood before daylight At least that is the way it sounded. Colonel That's iust what I had to listeu to all night long. What is the number of your room? Major No. 22. What is the num ber of yours? Colonel And mine is No. 23. Tableau. Texan Sitlinqt. . TALMACE'S BUSY WIFE. 4 Gllmpae ot tho Groat Fr.aeh.i'. Baal noaa Rfanaa.r. "Mrs. Talmage is distinctly her hus band's right hand, and all the details pf his busy life are looked after by her, lays Edward W. Bok tp The LadUf Home Journal. She is a business woman, having a rare executive abil ity, capable of easily handling a num ber of things at the same time. Much of Dr. Talmage's daily work is planned tnd laid out by her. She makes his pastoral and social engagement, and all his luring interests are In her hands. ne know his capacities even better than he. Whenever a loainoy is to be made, It is she who lays out the routo, procures the tickets and tateroonis, and attends to all the de tails. No public man, perhaps, is saved so mauv annoyances as is Dr. Talmage by his wife's foresight and ability. The rear apartment of tho econd floor is Mrs. Talmage's work ing room. Il is tastefully furnished, but more with an eye to utility than ornamentation. In this room Mrs. Talmage spends most of her time. It is "her private den." All the mail that is left at the house for Dr. Tal mage is taken into this room and is opened by ber. It is not an unusual thing for the postman to deliver be tween one and two hundred letters a day, all of which pass through Mrs. Talmage's hands. Business letters aro answered by her, and all letters that may be of an unpleasant or an noying personal nature are destroyed. Dr. Talmage never sees them. A day in Mrs. Talmage's home would be a revelation to those who be lieve that the life of a public man's wife is a succession of pleasures, dotted here with a pretty compliment and there with some token of honor. While . many people are yawning and prepar ing to break their night's rest Mrs. Talmage is already up, opening the first mail. Breakfast is promptly at eight o'clock. Then the family sepa rate and the wife begins to receive callers which alone is a task. It is a well-known saying among the neigh bors that "the Talmage bell is never still." All kinds of people mast be seen, innumerable appointments made and kept, the pastoral work of the largest church in America must be looked after, tho details of a score or more missionary, church, literary so cieties with which Mrs. Talmage, or ' her husband, is connected, havo their demands, and, iu nddition to all these, are the household cares of a large house and a family of growing chil dren. All the appointments of the Talmage homo in Brpoklyn reflect the woman who presides over it. Gandi ness in furniture or decorations is ab sent, and. instead, ono sees a harmony of good taste on every hand. Mrs. Talmago is an excellent housekeeper and ber home shows it CARE OF BEDDING. It Should Rre.lTO a Grant D.nl Mora Ah t.ntlon than It Doh. There are very few people who take proper care of bedding, says the N. Y. Tribune. In the nature of things, it is not possible without a great expense to have the covering of mattresses and pillows frequently rcuewed; therefore, every pains should be taken to keep them fresh. It is a common thing to leave rooms which are unoccupied fit ted np ready for a guest, with even the sheets and bed covering on the bed. In this way the bed gathers dampness In a cold, tin aired room for a long time, and the most serious conse quences may result to the lirst unfort unate gnest who occupies that room. Whenever a room is unoccupied for any length of time the bedclothes should be put away in the linen-closet, aud the mattresses lifted up from the bedstead so the air can strike it on all sides. It is a moment's work to dust tho bedstead, replace the mattress and make up the bed with thoroughly aired bedclothes, nnd tho refreshment that is experienced from a sleep on such a bed compared with thu nightmare of an experience iu a room where the beddiug has not been niieil for per haps six mouths more than pays for the trouble. It is a positive injury to a good hair mattress to keep it without properly airing and turning it for mouths. As soon as a mattress is made it should be basted up in a cover of un bleached sheeting. To mako these novels, tear off lengths of sheeting twice the iengtli of the mattress, al lowing half a yard extr.i for the ends. Hem, on the machine or by linuil. each end of a longth of sheeting, nod lay the mattress on it and baste It up in it In this way the mattruss is completely protected from dust aud from contact with the bands of careless chamber maids. At least unco a year this cover should be removed and washed. In the same way i cover should be made for bolsters, which is basted down closely to the bolster and thus save the ticking from becoming soiled and yel low. ' : Every mattress in regular use should be turned at least once a week. For this reason a mattress with a wool top or hair top and husk, excolsior or some inferior material should be avoided. It is better to have the mattress of all husk or any material, but alike on both sides, and have an extra pad or thin piece made to lay over it to make it ' soft. Nothing is more uncomfortable than a cotton top; thereforo, no mat tress should ever be purchased with this "improvement" Cotton is heat ing because it is sodden in texture and can not be aired liko hair or wool, which, like all animal libers, are light and spiral iu their ultimate form, and therefore bettor adapted to bedding be- Humbug Succeed. No one succeeds so surely in this life as a man willing to gull the world. It is tho doctor who offers to perform miracles who becomes rich; It it th banker who offers to do the Impossible that gots tho deposits; it is the mer chant who offers to sell things for less than cosfwho draws the crowd, and the pity of it is that this crowd never learus that philanthropy is not the law of life, aud that all tho speculators nro bent on innkliig monuy out of them.
