boy, born in 1871. AT the age Of o years
his family brought him 10 Cincinnati From
cigar peddling he went at wood engraving,
and later into the studio Of James II. Beard.
For two years during the civil war he sent
sketches from the battle field TO Harper's
Weekly. After that he went TO Europe to
study, where he has since remained, with
but short intervals at home. His painting
entitled ''Tbe Lost Cause" was the first to
attract very general attention. This was
in 1878. Since then, however, Mr.. Mosler
has won the distinctive honor Of being the

MILK As FOOD.

The Change That Has Marked the Opin.
ions of Medical Men With Respect to the
Use of Milk.
The world progresses. Fifty years
ago medical men decided that in most
cases of d sease that milk was the worst
thing a patient could %drink-that il was
feverish, bilious, and dangerous. In
all classes of fever or internal diseases
it was positively prohibited. Science
and practical sense have, however,
demonstrated that this natural product
of the females of the mammalia is
wonderfully constituted. the elements
of its compost or being in the precise
proportion for the easiest assimilation
by infants, and as being capable of sus-
tanning life perfectly in mature age.
And it is the most harmless food, if tho
animal from which it is derived is in
good health and is furnished with pure
food and water. of the whole category
of nourishments. Cows milk is COM
posed of Lightweight parts of water,
the remainder of 100 is composed in
proper quantities of fat or butter, of
caseine or cheese, and sugar or glucose,
and some other minute parts to give it
flavor. In its constituents it is wisely
calculated to supply every tissue of the
animal body, keeping tho Whole
system in vigor and health. And
in it there is little or no waste, or
far less than in any other article of
food. 1t %aggravates no disease. but aids
every etfOrss OF nature to restore sound
ness to the injured parts, or hea!t:. to
the d ,sordcred system. And yet there
is great prejudice against milk as an
article of diet. Unless taken with
something which wars on its delicate
and well ordered mixture Of perfect nu-
tritive clements, it is the lightest and
safest food the delicate dyspeptio can
take. 1t cools fevers. 1t give strength
to feeble limbs. 1t is claimed to be the
best remedy for Bright's disease, dia-
betes and other arrangements Of the
kidneys. etc. 1t is a class of food too
much neglected for the health, strength
and long l fe of the human family. 1t
is important, however, that it should
pc pure. And to have it SO there
should be great care taken to preserve
tile health of the COW and to know ex-
actly when she is we'll. And her food
and water should be as pure and clean
rs food prepared for human food, for
whatever the cow eats and drinks goes
partially at least, into her milk. And
as there is to be Il great advance in the
consumpt on of cows milk for the food
of the old aud the young there must be
higher notions inculcated as to what
the COW cats and drinks. There is
longer life and better health in store
for those who abandon SO much meat.

Uuon the Players Sense of Hearing.
,Jossffy, the pianist, practices hours
daily upon a dumb piano; Won Bulow
%carrics one with him in his travels to
keep up his practice; and List is said
to use one assiduously. The object Of
substituting a silent instrument, which
is said to be growing in favor with mu-
sicians, is to subordinate the sense of
hearing in practice, and to protect the
player from the nervous fatigue pro-
duced by the use of that sense, at the
same time that the senses of sight and
touch are employed. A skilled musi-
clan said recently that the exhaustion
from practicing upon a piano was
greater than most persons imagined.
He doubted whether a street-paver was
as much exhausted by a days labor as
a man who is obliged to practice all
the afternoon. He favored the use of a
piano that made no noise. He had
heard a physician say that the nervous
headaches of young women in musical
c~onservatories were largely due to the
din of practice, and it was often thought
that this noise impaired the musical
sense. The mute piano makes the per-
former depend upon his eye and his
touch, and %enforces more attention to
the score, so that he will be able to get
notion OF the music upon sight read
ing.
There are some mute pianos in New
York and several in Boston. The first
one sent to this country came from
Weimar, and after the model of this
one others were constructed. The
mute piano has a full keyboard and has
the appearance of an ordinary piano,
but there is neither sounding-board nor
strings within the instrument. The
keys arc weighted with lead and pro-
7ided with springs which cause them

lated so as to correspond with Che
piano to be used tor playing the music
with sounds. Then the touch need not
be var ed and the sounding piano need
not be used except to correct errors in
the shading OF notes. 1t is further
claimed that it is economy to use a
mute piano. as IN expert will play
havoc with a good piano in two or

cles OF his fingers as to be able to sur

with a very small hand, can crush the
fingers of a strong mar without moving
