[st. Louis Chroniclcl
The little lady, Alice T.. Bdrnes, IL only
six, and she Il wonderful performer on
the plano. Her litt'o hands ripple over
tho keys with the grace and precision OF
an old scholar. The little prodigy was
asked TO play and, unlike hor older sisters,
she readily consented, but remarked that
she had not been formally introduced to
all present. This ceremony was soon
gone through, and then her mother lifted
her on the stool, and she played sslec.
tlon from Mozart. Her hands are too small
TO cover an octave, but otherwise her exc.
cu'ion was perfect

After the little b,ue- eyed, blonje.haired
mite, accompanied by her mother, had
executed n brilliant duet, the reporter
asked Mr.. Barnes for the cbild's history.
"Shs could play quite well when shs
was three years old" said the prou faith.
or. "when she would hear some one play
piano she would repeat the tuns almost
perfectly. She played all her nursery
songs, and when we would take her 10 tho

The Vest as a Lung-PrOtectOr.

Mr.. James Hess makes a very
sensible suggestion in the Herald
of Health when be calls attention
to the absuI dity OF our present
curious habit of wearing cambrlc-
back vests, while the fronts are OF
heavy material and sometimes
wadded, aud urges the propriety OF
protection for both sides OF the
lungs. The habit, OF course, has
grown from a belief that the outer
coat is sufficient protection for the
back, while the chest needs warmer
covering, on account of the coat
being open. But it seems Il dis
prevail OF the reasoning that the
first unpleasant sensations of chilli
nesS are the so called "creepers"
running down the spine. Even
when the warmeSt WOODEN material
is selected for a suiting, the tailor,
unless otherwise ordered, will inva.
riably make the back OF the vest OF
some thin, t1Imsy material like cam
brlc or silk, though he may deem
it advisable to pad the trout with
cotton wadding. There is no prop
er reason why the back of the vest
should be made Insufficient. The
front may he made uncomfortably
thick, aud still fail to protect the
lungs unless the back is made
equally thick and warm. In front
they ire protected about five times
az much as in the back, by clothing,
ribs, flesh, muscle and fat. In the
back the lungs come almost TO the
surface, and therefore need more
protection. MIR. Hess asserts that
it has been his custom for~twO years
past, and that many gentlemen to
whom he has mentioned the matter
have had their vests made with
good, warm backs, and after a WIN.
ter's trial are quite enthusiastic
over the change.
They have passed through the
entire winter and spring without
once taking cold, which Is the besl
evidence in support OF the thicI
vest back proposition that coult
he adduced.
