Mr.. Cables new Creole novel in Scrib-
ner is awakening good deal of enthu
siasm among contributors to that maya
zine, one Of whom writes as follows:
"Read 'Grandissmes' last night with
increasing admiration. The death of
Bras-Coupe is grandly told: neither
Victor Hugo nor anybody else, to my
knowledge, Of the romantic school, has
ever put such picture before u.s." An
other contributor writes; "What sun
rise in our sky of fiction is Mr.. Cables
'Grandissimesn That episode of Bras
Coupe in particular, is hauntingly vivid
and powerful. | don't know where we
would look in current storytelling for Il
match to it," a third writer writes:
" The Grandissimes' is the greatest adj
dition to American literature since Haw-
thorne wrote. 1t is thoroughly Ameri-
can, without any of that self-conscious-
ness which makes so much of our litera-
ture weak. Mr.. Gable has brought vir-
ility into fashion. He is pioneer in
the reaction against the so-oalled nice
books. "Ihe Grandissimes' gives rca-
son to hope that the mantle of the great
novelists, Thackery, Balzac and Haw-
thorne, may find in America shoulders
worthy to wear it," Still another, after
speaking with enthusiasm Of the April
installment, says: "Cable will be ia
nous man." 1t is said that some of the
best scenes in the story are yet to come.

..0out Piano Playing.

The same piano played upon by diff
fcrcnt pianlsts exhibits effects and Va
riety Of tone that cannot help but cause
wonder In those whose pcrccptivc fac
ulty are on the alert. 1ac power and
diversity Of touch is something wonder
ful, and words fail fully to explain hat
the ear quickly notes. The finest toned
piano, in the hands of some performers,
appear harsh and tinny, leaving an i'm
preston upon the listener that the
manufactures has been very unsucccss-
ful in his efforts to produce "a mixed,
sonorous and melodious quality of
tone" On the other hand, we find
some few players possessing touch so
exquisite and sensitive, that even Il
wcll-wOrn instrument IS made to cX-
htbit sympathetic and singing quality
Of tone, beside al uncxplannbic charm
and grace added thcrcunto. What is
dcnominatcd "spirtua lity' no doubt
Is at the bottom OF all such peculiar
manifestations, although different quail
tiles Of animal matter may have share
IN the production Of such mysterious
effects. "Ihe art Of phraSing" can no
doubt be taught mechanically, as well
as tho "art OF slnging," but II the In
nate something Is not part and parcel
of the individual, how can the phras-
Ing bc anything but mechanical? Even
III these days cf wonderful execution
and of the ever increasing number who
actually acquire it, the old maxim,
poctd noScitur non .ft, is equally rs true
us centuries ago. SO few pianists look
beyond an "irreproachablc Technique"
because 80 many pure mechanics make
music business now. SO long rs they
can execute five hundred notes u min
ute they arc happy, and view with
something akin to contempt the COM
poser who demands from them the
playing of only four hundred and
ninety minute. a composition must
be uiliicult and "full Of sound" else
modern pianists will most assuredly
pass 1t by Oh the other side. 10 ham
mer away is much easier than to play
with truly soulful effect, because the
former may be acquired, the latter,
however, never. When music is viewed
as business only, true art can but
greatly suffer.

An Electrical iStore.-An electrical
stove has astonishcd the natives of
Valley View Station in the Far West.
The proprietor recently undertook to
put some wood in the cooking range,
aud he received such severe electric
shock that he dropped the litter and
staggered back with an exclamation of
surprise. His wife then attempted to
take stew pan from the fire, and fell
to the floor. About this time tho hired
hands came In to set dinner, but 1t was
found impossible to take anything Off
the stove. Charley Palmer, the stage
driver, attempted to manipulatea coffe O
pot from the stove and sprang two feet
In the mir with yell of pain. Con
Dense thought it would be the easiest
thing In the world to move tho pot of
cabbage, when he was landed in the
corner o. the room and made no further
attempts. The stew pans were finally
removed from the stove by Mr.. Curtis,
who cncascd his hands In shccpskin
gloves. Many theories were advanced
to account for tho presence of 80 much
el ctricity. Mr.. Curtis finally observed
that The current was strongest during
tho prevalence Of strong winds, and
this led him to infer that the electricity
was generated from windmill, which
was about fifty feet from the house.
The fluid reaches the stove pipes by the
means of wire which is fastened to
the windmill. When the windmill
stops there Is no electricity in tho stove,
but after it make half dozen revolu-
tions 1t Is not safe to handle utensils on

Interstate Commerce. - Defcat OF tho Rea
gan BiM.--The substitute Proposed,

The Committee on Commerce Of the
I, House of Representatives at Washington,
decided on February 18th, by q vote Of
nine to six, to report u substitute for the
Reagan Bill. That Objectionable measure
is practically defeated by this action. The
new bill proposes to make the same laws
which are applicable to railroads engaged
in transporting freight between different
States also apply to the operations of
steamboats,, lake vessels and other water
crafts. 1t provides for the appointment Of
Board of Commissioners who are to have
supervision of the entire subject Of the
transportation of freight from one State or
Territory INTO or through other States and
Territories, and to examine into any COM
plants that may be made by the public of
unfair action on the part of common car
riers of any class that are engaged in this
important business. Unjust discrimination
ia forbidden under severe penalties, and in
case any of the transportars or transporta
tion companies fail to redress any substan-
tial grievances brought to the attention Of
the commissioners, proceedings arc author
lied III the United States courts. If the
proposed new law is found to be not fully
effective in furnishing remedies for any of
the real evils that have grown up in con-
ucctiOn with The management Of trdhapor-
tltion between different States it is made
the duty of the Commissioners to suggest
additional legislation, and to obtain and
furnish to Congress all information relating
to the operations of railroads that is likely
to prove useful ana important III this con-
ncction. This bill provides much more
appropriate and just methods for accom-
plishing such reforms rs may be needed
than the Reagan bill and with some amend

ton be deferred until a commission of cX-
perts shall bc able to thoroughly investigate
this complex subject and report their ma
tmc judgment upon the matters ut issue.
There is no question that II more intclli-
gent conclusion could be reached in this
way, and one that would be more valuable
TO all the interests involved On general
principles tentative legislation is hardly to
be recommended where it involves the
