Care Of Pianos.

Pianos, first OF all, ought not to
stand exposed to damp and chill air,
but in as uniformly and moderately
warm room as practicable. The
strings are highly susceptible to the
vicissitudes of temperature, contrac.-
Ing or relaxing ccrrespondingly. Sec
ond. do not put any covers on the box
or case; have the instrument to stand
clear of contact from walls, and not
very near doors aud stoves, several
inches from the same. Leave the
whole lid open, or, at least the front
part; but daily, once or ottener, care
fully dust all the exposed parts. The
fine varnish of veneering and furniture
like piano cases will last in good con-
dition considerably longer if left un-
covered Or exposed to mild but not
vitiated atmosphere.

A Detroiter got home at midnight
the other night with black eye and a
boozy step, and as his wife met him at
the head Of the stairs she exclaimed !:
"Why you've been fighting Yes'm," +"
he meekly replied, as he leaned on the
rail. "And some one has blackened
one of your eyes," she continued, as
the tears came. "Don't cry, sharlng,'
he said in coaxing voice, as he put
his hand on her head "f hadn't had

TO FArrEN FowLs.-Fowls may
be tattened in four or five days by
the following process Set some rice
on the fire with skinned milk, as
much only as will serve one day let
it boil until the rice is swelled out
add a teaspoontul Of sugar. Feed
the fowles four or five times a day in
pans, and give them as much each
time as will fill them. Great care
must be taken that they have nothing
sour given them, as that prevents
their fattening. Give them clean
water or milk from rice to drink. BY
this method the flesh will have clear
whiteness.

Painting Faces.

Paint is not confined to the natural
and maturing beauties who are doubl,
ing the critical capes of the thlrties
and forties, but in reaching the faces
of the young women. This painting
of the lily is matter of regret, for the
American woman is known in all civ,
ilized lands for the beauty Of her com
plexion, the delicate nuance Of it be-
ing recognized in the term of ''the
American tint" To move away from
the artistic side and look on the m oral
one, i. appears still worse. Ten or
fifteen years ago the calling ola wo
man who wore a painted yisage was
undoubted ; it was to certain extent
the sign Of her commerce, and there
are yet old fashioned peope who
Judge a painted face with the eyes of
the past.
The motive which leads her to this
lavish use of color is, Of course, that
she may become beautiful, aud if she
really did become 50, 10 objection
might be made, at least rom an arts
tic point of view But her mistake is
radical-she does not become so.
Viewed as an object of art, she is un-
lovely to look upon-utterly unklss-
able, and the oscuiatory test is su-
preme.
1t is more or less matter of indif-
ference to a man that the ugly woman
should be given over to such a prac-
tice, for she may not be saved in an
ansthetical sense but when the
young woman, endowed by nature
with pure skin, resorts to it, he is
moved to commiseration and regret.
He is wounded in his national pride,
for European fingers have pointed to
the complexion of Columbia's daught-
er as something unattainable to her
sisters across the sea. The roses are
too red on the British cheeks or the
fibre is too rough there is lack OF
clearness in the French skin, and that
of the Italian is too sallow Remark.
able purity and delcacy belong alone
to the typical American girl, and
these characteristics will continue to
be hers if she will avoid the vandallc
paint box and kohel pencils. The
first artist of the world has already
drawn her with his gracious lines and
painted her with his beautiful colors,
and his name is Nature Albert

Easter Blossoms.

"NIr, Aylesbury is 81 vassionately

sister, sulkily "and, as you put on
SO many airs, I will tell You nothing

"Oh. do, Belle, that is a darling J!

Cornelia arose more hastily than was
customary for her.
''Perhaps she will not let you have

''She will not dare refuse me What
does poor creature like her want

A few moments later she stood at
the door Of the young lady who had
done needlework for her. 1t was q
little attic chamber, up four flights of
stairs and nothing save the urgency
OF her present visit could have induced
her to come TO such place She held
her skirts closely about her, as if to
protect them from contamination,
while she tapped family.
"CoPe in"
She entered slowly. hesitatingly,
scanning the apartment rapidly, for
fear some smallpox patient might be
hidden within.
A young, graceful girl arose to
meet her and as Miss Arbuthnot
took in her dainty beautiful face, her
violet eyes, her flowing hairy of gold.

that Philip Aylesbury had never met

"soRRY PIOTURE.n

Mr. Editor: In concluding your article
under the above head, in your last issue, you
ask the question, can't something be done by
the legislators of our country, to stay this ecu.
tralizing of the wealth of our people! This
is an important question, and should be we'll
weighed by our representative men. Where
there is will there is a way, is a trueism,
and if too many of our Statesmen are not in,
terested in this money monopoly, it can be
remedied. will give you a case in point,
which illustrates how the general government
operates this money ruin TO the people:
Mr.. A, Of this county, was ewing Mr. B.
debt, he was forced to make loan of Mr.
e. at the rate of 9 per cent. aud mortgage his
farm, he paid of Mr.. B., who at once invested
10 U. S. Bonds; thus, by the general govern
ment being 4 competitive borrower, Mr. A.
was forced to make this loan at per cent.
which the U. S. Bond at once absorbed =
that is not all, he (A.) is also taxed to pay
the interest upon this very U. s. Bond. Yet,
little further, Mr.. B. can take his U. 8.
Bond and deposit it in the U. s. Treasury and
draw upon it not not only his 6 per cent in
terest in gold, but 80 per cent. 10 currency,
with which he could buy Mr.. C's mortgage -
this is the upper and neither mill stone. which
grinds the unfortunate victim that gets be-
tween them to powder.
BY common practice it is admitted that the
general government has the right to make the
money for the people, and even the gold Gratis
acknowledge it is worth from 85 to 81 cts to
the dollar, then why not pay off these Bonds,
which are due, plus twelve per cent, relieve
the people from paying interest, and then this
increase of volume of currency would not
only make money more plenty. but cheaper
its rate of interest upon the principle of sup
ply and demand; this, however, is not sound
logic With the money lender, but if the peo-
pie will see to its adoption, which they can do
by the exercise of their suffrage, they will
dGd it will bring them relief.
l, however, go further; if the government
can make paper dollar, worth IS cts, per
standard of money jo5ers, it can f1 its value
at 100 cents and pay off its debt; most peo>
pie are Obliged.aud glad to receive it at 100
ntsj-the foreign creditor has his remedy.
