Un gome severe ocean storm. This
months sped by and there was no
word from the missing sailor. It was
' decided to send the child to the or
phan asylum, when Ursula Chester
and her husband, who had been be
friended by the Winstons in times
past, adopted him, and with them
he. li&n lived ever since.
It was a lonely life that the boy
led in (he companionship of these
old people. Adolph Chester was a
strange, eccentric old man, whose
life was passed in one atmospli: re
music, With him harmony was a
devotion, a shrine of worship, and
he had infused much of his genius
into the adopted waif. While Dame
Ursula managed to make i; modest
living, sided by Eric, from the sale
of knit stockings and herbs raised
in the garden, the husband devoted
all his lime to music. Once he had
sold a composition, and then his re
lined nature, jarred by contact with
quick, rough business men, had re
turned to his darling theme, and be
coming more and more absorhed in
playing his old violin, was adjudged
to be ' half-demented by his neigh
bors. lint what a musician! What di
vine strains he drew from the old
time-worn vioiiu., What a jewel of
melody and beauty was that cracked
and aged instrument. "Many a time,
recognizing its age, suj eiiority and
value, musical savant. lnd offered
him fabulous amounts for t?'e violin.
It was a genuine Strxdivarius, they
told him--oneof seven of its pecu
liar make in existence. To all their
offers old Adolph Chester had siiiih-d
negatively, and said sai'.lv and pla
cidly. "We will sell the violin when I
die."
Thinking of all this at that very
moment, Eric was moved to sympa
thy as he noted Dame Ursula's sr,tn
be'r face. He glided to her side. Of
late there had been little money and
much of worry and destitution at j
the humble cottage, and the absence
of usual preparation for tho Cnnst- j
mas festivities was noted l-y l'.rtc
with some little disappointment
manifest in his handsome boyish fea
tures.
"What lias happened, good moth
er?" he asked softly.
"The worst, my poor boy, replied
the old woman pathetically. A
debt is due a debtor has run away.
We are destitute. To-day I told
iVdolph. He must sell the violin
we must have bread, I told him. lie
smiled sadly. 'I have given my
years to music,' he said. 'To-day I
rive my life, my violin, my jewel of
harmony and sweetness, but not to
sell instead, to beneiit the world.to
bequeath to others theglory and rap
ture of the past, when true musi
cians starved to give beauty and light
to the world.' These were lna strange
words. Tie must be daft, Erie, to
cave us to starve, and a fortune in
the house. Since then he has shut
himself in his lonely room, but the
violin is mule. What is ttiat? Erie,
my boy, ;un, run! There was a
crash m his room. lie may nave
done himself some harm."
In a flash Eric Winston was at
the door of the old musician's apart
ment. He burst open the door, his
mind filled with a thousand direful
apprehensions. One glance showed
him that Adolph Chester was sate,
but the violin
It lay a mass of ruins upon the
table, and its destroyer bent over it,
a hammar in his hand. 1 lie cher
ished companion of his lonely years
lay in fragments before him. What
monstrous delusion could have in
duced him to this act, which wreck
ed a 'fortune and made his life void
of delight?
Before Eric could speak to him
the musician gathered up the pieces
of the broken violin and walked
from the room and the house,- a
strange, wild light in his eyes, his
ailid lips muttering:
"The temptation haa passed.
What are my deprivations to the
welfare of millions?"
Evening dawned. A deep gloom
had settled over the cottage. What
did the strange actions of the mad
musician mean? what would be the
result? Tortured with distressing
anxiety, Dame Ursula sat by the
cheerless hearth, Erie, sad and si
lent, by her side.
One hour later the dour opened.
Adolph Chester entered the room.
He placed some gold coins in his
wife's hands She looked at him in
a startled way.
"The violin?" she quavered.
"Yes. the money it is there."
"You sold the violin for
that!"
"No, I sold it not; I gave it to
posterity. Too long have I selfishly
kept iny secret. I discovered long
since that the exquisite tone of the
Stradivarius lies not in the maker's
art, nor the strings, nor the age, but
in the wood.
"In the wood?"
"Yes, the peculiar wr.od employed
in making it. I broke it . to learn
the name of that wood. I took the
igineiits to a scientist. I told him
my story, lie examined it and
found that the wood is now obsolete
in Europe, but exists in vast forests
in various portions of America.
He gave me money, because the se
cret was valuable. It is a secret no
more. To posterity I transmit it.
Soon aspiring genius shall not be
forced to seek to learn the beauty
of melody from poor, cheap instru
ments, but all the world shall have
a Stradivarius like my own, and not
only the antiquarian and man of
wealth. My life's purpose is wrought.
I am content."
A calm dignity came into the mu
sician's face, a placid joy haunted
his eyes. Right or wrong, his was
a noble, unselfish soul.-
There was a quick knock at the
door. Dame Ursula, sadly mistrust
ing the future, opened it.
"Does Adolph Chester live here?"
"Yes; enter."
""No, not till I know. There was
a sailor years agone Robert Win
ston. He went to sea. His wife
died, and his child "
"Is here."
"Thank heaven!"
Eric Winston looked startled.
The visitor was the old man whom
he had met at the snow ball battle
field.
"You know my friend Winston?"
began the musiciai'.
"I am he."
"You? Then this hoy is your
son."
"Erie, my boy, my boy!"
It was indeed his lather. And
what a happy ending to a mournful
Christmas Kvc! For Robert Win
ston, after fifteen years' exile on a
desert island, hail returned a rich
man, and the old musician never
wanted friends more.
So courtesy, friendship, and sac
rifice to art were richly rewarded as
the sweet bells rang out the glad
Christmas morn.

Perhaps there is no holiday more
generally observed, the world over,
or which calls out all that is most
gracious in human nature, than
Christmas. Some of the choicest

prose and verse, take their inspira-

his Sketch I'ook. writes thus grace
fully: "One of the least pleasing effects
of modem refinement is the havoc it
has made among the hearty old hol
iday customs. It lias completely
taken off the sharp touch ings and
spirited reliefs of these embellish
ments of life, and has worn down
society into a more smooth and pol
ished, but certainly a less charac
teristic surface. "Many of the games
and ceremonials, of Christmas have
entirely disappeared, and, like the
sherris-saek of old Falstaff, are be
come matters of speculation and dis

flourished in times full of spirit and

Jlerry Christmas.
"Christmas," wrote Dickens, "is
the only holiday of the year that
brings the whole human family into
common communion.'' We are scat

of union that has long held us to

years. .Many Christmas anniversa

Lnlge our faith and friendship; and
each recurring Christmas time has

0118 WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our nvpilar ('orivspomlriit.
Wasiunotox, D.C.Dec. IS, ISSii.
What Congress is likely to do one
day ahead no one can safely say.
Senator Sherman made a remark in
regard to the work of the Senate,
which Speaker Carlisle repeated in
reference to the work of the House,
and it was that there were many
possibilities but few probabilities.
Neither branch of Congress adhered
to the program which had been ar
ranged for it in the early part of the
week.
No one expected a Taritf debate
to come off in the Senate, but every
body was prepared for an agitation
of the question in the House on
Thursday. As chance and circum
stances would have it, the Senate
made Tariif speeches, and the House
IrcKlet! to Cclcr the subact. I lien
rol Morrison proposes to ask the
n0H!MJ to ,m.d to the toi-sidera-i
tion of revenue bills, and the friends
i of the J r. riti legislation think his
motion will prevail.
A story was priuted to the effect
that the President had promised to
aid Mr. Morrison by securing four
votes for him from the New York
delegation. Or course everybody
knew that the President would not
do anything of the kind. The story
had its foundation in the fact that
several New York Democratic mem
bers who voted against considera
tion of any tariif measure at tnelast
session, have since changed their
views, an. I will vote with Mr. Mor
rison. If the issue cannot be evaded it
is understood that the present plan
of the Republicans in the House is
to strike off the tobacco tax
000,000; lo strike off 20 per cent, of
it. . iMi mo iwiii. i i..

alcohol used in the arts and manu
factures tax free, which would strike
off $10,000,000 more. This wouid
red in e the revenue $4 8,000,000 in
all.
When the Senate was talkingTar
iii', a disappointing speech was made
by Senator Dswcs of Mass. His as
sociates knew that he was trying to
be re-elected to the -Senate this win
ter, and as some of his constituents
have views en Tariff subjects, inter
est was felt in the drift of his re
marks, and rather belter attention
was given him than the Senate usu
ally accords to speeches. The Sena
tor began with platitudes which no
one cared to dispute, dwelt at length
upon the past policy of the IJcpub
liean parts- which, he said, had been
to reduce customs, duties, and in
ternal taxes to the point nearest the
needs of the Government; criticised
Secretary Manning's report, and fin
ally wound up with some sneering
comments upon the President's mes
sage. Senator lleck'3 bill to prevent Sen
ators from acting as attorneys of
railroads whose interests are. liable
to come before the Senate was mutil
ated and twisted out of shape in
Committee by such experts as sena
tors Evarts and Hoar. The way in
wlsioh the- evaded, postponed dodg
ed and finally modified this measure,
which was so warmly supported by
public opinion, may be called cred
itable to their ingenuity, but not to
their reputations for honesty. And
w hat is worse still, Senator Edmunds
stood beside these manoeuvrers, as
sisted by Senator "Mitchell of Ore
gon. The railroad Senators who think
it is all right to legislate upon rail
road matters while taking big fees
as attorneys for railroad corpora
tions, could not stave off considera
tion of the Beck bill altogether, how
ever, and on Wednesday it came up
for debate.
The Woman Suffragists are com
ing to Washington as usual to hold
their annual convention and they
have asked for the use of the hall of
the House of Pepresehtatives on the
evenings of Jan. 25th, 26th, and
27th. The women want a chance to
be heard literally within the walls
( I of Congress, and it is probable they
will have :t. the ( ommittee on
Rules is to decide the matter. Rep
resentative Townseud of Illinois in
troduced the bill, making the request
for the Hall, "Rut," "said he. this
does not mean that I am a convert
to woman suffrage."
The President incde his first ap
pearance in public sinpc his illness
at the theatre whvre he saw Law
rence Rarrett in "Pienzi." The au
dience ineinded . many others dis
tinguished in public and social life.
Among these in the boxes were no
ticed Speaker Carlisle, Gena. Sher
man and Sheiidan, Chief Justice
Waite and family, Hon. S. S. Cox
and several Senators and Judges.
Col. and Mrs. Lamont sat in the box
with the President and "Mrs. Cleve
land, and obstructed a view of the
President greatly to the annoyance
of hundreds of curious eyes. Some
lingering rheumatism was apparent
;p the president's deliberate move
ments and slight limp, but other
wise he looked well. On one occa
sion President Arthur attended the
theatre here iu ultra English stylo,
bringing in his footman to stand at
his box during the performance. On
another occasion, however, he came
without a reserved seat, and as
j there was only standing room left,
took a positien in the crowd until
some friend saw and sent for him.
Only Five.
"Any lost children down there?"
asked a woman's voice through the
telephone of police headquarters the
other da-.
"Yes, five of them." was the re
ply. "Only live! I've lost seven, and
I wonder where the other two can
be?"
Hood's Siirsnparilla lias cured
thousands of cases of rheumatism.
This is abundant reason for belief
that it will cure you. Try it.

A Celtic resident of Twenty-second

at a real estate office on Oris wold

"He's not in." said a clerk who
was rattling away at a type-writer.
"I want to make a complaint

Oniameiitinjr the Christmas Tree.
Last year in many citiesand towns
there appeared in certain churches
and halls Christinas-trees of mar
velous beauty. The tips of the green
boughs were glittering with crystals,
and reflected the light in many beau
tiful colors. Some of these trees, in
addition to the crystals, seemed la
den with golden fruit, like an orange
t ree iu a a untimely frost or snow
storm. Other trees were ornament
ed with hand-painted flags, of all
nations.
The method of covering green
twigs with crystals is a very simple
and inexpensive one. Put into a
bucket a pound or more of alum. and
pour a gallon or more of boiling wa
ter upon it. Place the tree in such
a position that the tips of the bough
may remain in' the solution for some
hours, perhaps over night. P.ep.cat
the process until as many boughs
are tipped with crystals as will
make the tree very beautiful; or cut
the twigs, crystalie lliem, and fix
them again on the b inghs.
The golden fruit is simply made
by gilding English walnuts. Ham
mer a long tack into the end of the
walnut by which to suspend it alter
gilding. Wash the nut with the
white of an egg with a feather.
Then roll it in gold leaf, or powder,
until it is well gilded. Or cover it
with tin foil or imitation of gold
leaf, as the real gold leaf is some
what expensive.
Acted charades are popular as di
versions, after the distribution of
the Christmas presents. The popu
lar word in England of late for an
elaborate acted charade is "Counter
charm" (count) (err) (charm ),the
whole ending with an Oriental scene
of a charm and counter-eharni.

Three Men Who Thought.
j A young assistant of chemistry
and when lie asked the cause, was
told that it was copper that escaped
from the smelting and stamping
mills of the Calumet and Hecla
mints. The young teacher put his
thinking-cap on and then requested
the company to allow him to exper
iment with a view to saving this
copper. Tin? company was only too
glad to offer facilities. So the young
man gave up his summer vacation
and set to work and was able to de
vise a method by which four per
cent of the copper mined was saved,
and almost pure copper, too. The
young professor no longer earns a tri
fling salary, but has acquired a conr
fortnbTe Income by" this-- jfummer's
labors.-
Some years ago a mechanic near
New Haven was riding in a railway
train and was jolted and jarred as
in the early days of railway travel
passengers were apt to be. He didn't
fret and fume as the other passen
gers did. but began to study and
experiment with a view to making a
spring that would reduce the jolting
to a minimum. He at last succeed
ed and his spring was adopted by
every railroad in the country. He
is no longer a poor young mechanic.
His name is Carlos French and he
has just been elected to Congress
from the New Haven District.
There diet! a few days ago in Wa
tcibury a man who began life in the
narrow-cat circumstances. He learnj
ed the trade of a machinist, and he
gave his whole soul to his trade.
'y -and-by he startled w ire manu
facturers by producing a cold-reducing
machine by which wire was
drawn coid. Seeing, one day, a wo
man fretting because she had prick
ed her finger with a pin. he was set
j to thinking
devised the
!ir! in a week he had
aluable safety pin. His
name was E. J. Manville. He died
a rich man. Xnr York- Situ.

The Passenger Was Left.
;ipt Selah Dustin, who has com-
I (
maniled lake craft without number,
been skipper of a woodyard, and en
countered a good deal of rough le
gal weather during his stormy ca
reer, ut one time ran a boat between
Detroit and Port Huron. The Cap
tain prided himself on the punctu
ality with which the lines were east
off and his boat left for its destina
tion. One day while waiting for
freight preparatory to plowing the
waves in the direction of Port Hu
ron, a stranger walked -..n board and
accosted the Captain as follows:
"What time does this boat go?"
"At .) o'clock sharp."
"Does she go on time?"
' She docs right on time."
The prospective passenger here
pulled out his watch, and exclaim
ed: Why, it's a qua'rtcr after '.) now."
Without the slightest perturba
tion and in a tone of drawling pla
cidity, the Captain responded:
"Well, then, this boat has been
gone exactly fifteen minutes." Then
he resumed his supervision of the
loading of freight.

The larger part of the apples to
be consumed in Omaha this year
have been brought from Southern
Jlicliigi'U. The Western States have
added some to the supply, but Mich
i.u::n has taken the lead, but even
the Michigan apples will be scarcer
than usual. A heavy wind storm
some time iigo destroyed fully one
third of the crop there, and many
barrels of those which were saved
are being sent to tlie East and also
abroad. The plan followed in "ret
ting the fruit into the market here
is thus outlined by a packer:
A man goes into tin orchard and
buys by the barrel all the choice
fruit. The farmer is to pick it by
hand and deliver it to the barrelers.
The buyer hires professional pack
ers, rnd, if he is a very careful man,
he oversees the packing himself.
It is only by such care as this thai
the apples is re got to this market in
good keeping condition. Haldwins,
Northern Spy's and Greenings are
the kind mostly brought in. This
year the fruit is not going to keep
its well as it did last." The Raid
win is taking the lead in quality,
for keeping powers and for quantity-It
is estimated that 200 cars, av
eraging 150 barrels to the car. have
already been received here from
Michigan, and the States around
here. It is feared that, owing to
the way the fruit is decaying, the
price will be much higher than $2
)0 per barrel by the first of Janu
ary. Out ttli a World.

He Jlust Wait.
A colored man was leaning against
the C.mtral butchers' market yes
terday, having on Ins head a straw
hat which exhibited signs of age,
when a pedestrian asked:
"Isn't your head cold with that
hat on?""
'Powerful cold, sah!" was the
prom lit reply, "but I can't afford to
line it wid seal-skin afore nex' sum
mer."
