It Replaced the Viol When More Dra matic Effect Wa Needed. In I lie good old dii) h from Queen Boh lo tlie comnioiiwcultli ♦ lie fa vorite instrumenta for n •Yonsort of music” were viols of various sizes, from treble to bass, one of \i hit'll, in a modified form, is still in use un der the name of double buss. The vMI whh played with a bow like the violin, but it differed eonsiderabl) in shape, bad a far weaker tone, and its linger board was provided with “frets,” as in the guitar, man dolin, banjo, zither and some other instruments; hence its range was limited, and it had not the same power of pure intonation as the violin. . When there arose a demand for more expression, more dramatic ef fect, the “seoulding violins,” as Thomas Mace called them, ousted the gentle viols, all of which, with the orto exception named above, quickly became obsolete. A famous institution of Louis XIII. was a baud called “Les vjngtquatre vio lons.” It played at court balls, dances and dinners. Charles 11. gave the deathblow to viols in Eng land when, in imitation of the French court, he formed a band of twenty-four violins “ns being more Uiie and brisk than viols.” These were the “four and twenty fiddles all in a row” that we heard of in our childhood. Since the rise of orchestral music, whether for the church, the opera, the symphony or the dance, it has been customary to divide the body of violins into two masses, called, respectively, the first and second violins. The first violins take the leading part and are accompanied by the seconds, which are of equal importance to the harmony. The familiar expression of "playing sec ond fiddle” in the ordinary affairs of life suggests that there is some thing derogatory in following a lead, but the position of second vio lin in the orchestra is ns important as that of first, though in the na ture of things it is not so promi nentlv before the public. To he a good “second” demands certain valuable qualifications not possess ed by uil musicians.—London Globe. Ma Could Hang on All Right. Two Irishmen employed in a fac- J toby iu Maine were given a holiday and went to enjoy themselves hunt ing. After walking through the woods for some time one of them happened to look up a pine tree and saw a large catamount. “Holy smoke, Pat, look at him!” said Mike. “Uowld on, Mike, that’s a Mal tese. 1 know where we can get $4 foi; him. I’ll go up and chase him down and you ketch him when he comes down,” said Patrick. Pat did so. and coming down the tree looked down and saw Mike and the eat describing circles among the leaves and dust. “What’s the matter, Mike? Can't you hang on to him ?” he asked. “Oh, 1 eati hang on to him, all right, but 1 can’t let go of him,” said Mike.—National Monthly. One Good Thing to Get. The stock broker was busy and nervous.
