The Slick Piano.

1t has long been known that certain
flint-stOnes emit q musical note when
struck with other flints; and. NJ. Baudre,
a French musician, has constructed a
piano on this principle. The flints are
chosen according to their pitch when
struck, and suspended horizontally by
their two ends in arrow like the KEYS of q
piano. An elegant metal framework
supports the stones, and wires are used
to suspend them. A sounding-board is
placed a fraction of an inch below the
row of stones. Tunes are played BY
means Of two smaller flints held in the
hands. The stone which emits the
greatest tone weighs four and one-haf
pounds; that which gives the correspond
ing half-toue weighs nine pounds. This
large flint is Immediately followed by
one weighing one ounce. A three
ounce stone in the set gives the same
note as another weighing six thousand
grains; so that it is not alone the size of
the stones. but other properties. which
affect the sounds.-h, ?. Christian Ad-
Ss0cyte.

cLocoED WITH WASTE.


| a Condition Of the Syst en- which Causes
| .'Colds" and Other Ailments.
As the sewers of our cities carry Of
the waste necessarily poured into them.
so the incessant waste of our bodies is
gathered up by our veins and gotten rid
Of by the lungs, liver. kidneys and skin.
If these eliminating organs get clogged
up in any way. the waste accumulates
in the blood, generating disease. and if
their proper action is not restored, re-
sulting in death. This waste, however,
is not generally eliminated in the form
in which it is thrown into the veins, but
undergoes chemical changes into various
salts and acids. Among these are uric
acid, and its salts known as urates. The
real trouble in Bright's disease is that
the diseased kidneys, being unable to do
their proper work. the uric
acid accumulates in the circulation,
and poisons the whole system. 1t is
somewhat the same, but in a lower de-
gree, in minor ailments, such as ..bil-
ious attacks and many so-called
'scolds" Now cold may be not cold
at all, any more than smallpox is u
/ cold. though indisti.guishable from it
at the beginning. 1t may he due simply
to overeating of animal (nitrogenous)
food, either habitually or from par
ticular excess; or to temporary lack OF
accustomed exercise while the full. but
not otherwise excessive. amount of
heterogeneous food is kept up. In these
cases, the liver, which should prepare
the heterogeneous elements of food for as
sanitation, and effect other changes on
our waste and redundant elements, to
enable the kidneys to eliminate them. is
overburdened and unequal to the EXT
gency. At length there is a feeling of
depression, soreness. headache, bad
breath and furred tongue. and people
say they have Il "bilious attack
Further, when the circulation is moro
or less loaded with urates. slight chill.
which might be otherwise harmless.
closes up the pores of the skin, and
thus throws back on the struggling
kidneys the large share Of eliminating
work belonging TO the latter. The per-
son is said TO have taken a Ii rd cold.
but the trouble is in the overloaded
circulation. The symptoms, when the
whole eliminates in the ''attack," are
essentially the same. The system now
unloads, during the enforced rest of the
digestive organs. and with the aid of
medicine. Sometimes somewhat SIM
liar condition results where one does
not drink enough to meet the needs of
