Brave WOincn.

We felt like singing the DoXo!o%y
when Ne heard how certain brave wom-
en- of Dakota upheld the Temperance"
standard. The Superintendent of the
Dakota Central Railroad, with Il party.
went bv special train to Frankfort.
where they were met with liberal hos
pitalitv by the citizens. and shown 1.-The
very best spot in creation for that ia
nous capital building. which is seeking
place to lay its weary head. After
due inspection of real estate. all repaired
to Il large hall where II splendid dinner
had been prepared, with generosity and
skill. by the ladies of Frankfort. Now
comes the test. Some men determined
the guests should have wine for dinner,
and ii should be set on the table. The
ladies decided it should not be done.
That was on Monday. Just rs dinner
was ready to-day. these men brought in
bottles of wine and set them on the ta-
BILE A feminine rebellion ensued. The
ladies met and voted unanimously that
they would not wait on the table if the
wine remained, when the men said to
them: :. Let it alone. we'll wait on the
table OurselveS' The ladies told them
to do it, and the men saw they could
not menace their own wives and daugh-
terS. SO they removed the wine. The
brave women returned and served din
nrr in the best of style. The names of
these ladies are Mrs. Jacoby, Mrs.
Hemingway. Mrs. Durham, Mrs. Smith,
Mrs Kaull, Mrs. milford. Mrs. Harry

Foster. Mrs Walbridre and Miss Fos-

Some Talk About Piano Sounding.
Boards.

''What nonsense clever men-fOr l
suppose all newspaper men arc clever
can write at times said one of the
leading piano manufacturers of the city
few DAYS ago '.Now just listen to
this, which l find printed as an extract
from a German paper, the title OF
which is judiciously withheld;" and he
read about as follows:
"a piano firm in Berlin has bought
the oakcn piles which have just been
taken out of the Rhine at Mayence,
and which are said to be the original
timbers of the bridge which Julius
Caesar constructed
s.And then the silly fellow goes on to
say that worm-eaten and decayed logs
make the best sounding boards for pi-
anoes, and that within a few years piano
firms have sent agents through Con-
necticut tc find fallen and partly decay
ed chestnut logs, and such timber has
been sold at good prices Did you
ever hear the like? Why, the sounding
board of piano has in the first place
to be made out of a soft wood, such as
spruce, in the next has to be so sound
that the surface is like satin, and in the
last would be utterly useless We're there
suspicion even of a worm hole. So
you see of how much value Mr.. Caesars 8
Oaken logs would be for piano sound
in@-bOards. All the woods used in the
manufacture of these boxes of music
YOU see in my wareroom have to be as
thoroughly seasoned as the oldest topper
in the city of New York. Now you
know that wheelwrights very often sink
their wood at the bottom of a running
stream and leave it there for months at
time. When it is taken out and dried
it is found that all the sap and natural

and, as the water is very soon evaporat-
ed, warping becomes a matter of i'm
possibility. Perhaps it was some vague
idea of that sort that caused the scribe
on the German paper to imagine that
a soaking of nineteen centuries in the
Rhine would make the wood nearly per-
feet for piano purposes. y
What about the Connecticut chest
nut trces?'
Il guess that's meant as a joke. To
tell YOU the honest truth. we do use a
little chestnut wood which, though we'll
seasoned, is rather worm-eatcn, but
that is because we get ii very cheap.
We use it for the bcttom boards, which
are quite out of sight, and are only
used to prevent the entcrance of dust
into the body of the instrument. | once
tried to veneer some wood of that de-
scription, but found that in short time
that the position of each minute hole
was plainly disccrnible on the surface
of the veneer when the light fell on it:
But one thing you may be sure of, and
that is that if anyone offers you some
decaycd oak piles cheap, don't think
you will make money out of them by
reselling them to a piano manufacturers
We've plenty of dead wood in the
trade without wanting any OF that sort. -
