Care Of Pianos.
How TO Keep Musical Instruments in II
Good Condition.

It is evident that, if the piano is to re.
main in good order for many years, good
care must be taken of it. The instrument
should be closed when not in use in order to
prevent the collection of dust pins, etc, on
the sound board. However, it must not be
left closed for period otsCVcral months and
longer, but be opened occasionally and the
daylight allowed to strike the keys, or else
the ivory may turn yellow. Any hard sub
stance, no matter how small, dropped inside
the piano, will cause a rafting, jarring noise.
Ii is in every case desirable that an india rub
Der or cloth cover should protect the instfu-
mcnl from bruises or scratches The piano
should not be placed in damp room, or left
open in n draught OF cold air. Dampness is
its most dangerous enemy, causing the strings
and tuning pipes to rust, the cloth used il
the construction ofthc keys and action to
swell, whereby the mechanism will move
sluggishly, or often stick altogether. This
occurs chiefly in the summer season, and the
best pianos made ofthe most thoroughly
seasoned materials, are necessarily affected by
dampness, the absorption being rapid. Elk.
IRENE heat is scarcely less injurious. The
piano should not be placed very near to an
open fire or an opCE stove, nor over or close
to the hot mir furnaces now in general use
Moths are very destructive to the cloth and
felt used in piano, and may be kept out of
it by placing lump of camphor, wrapped in
soft paper, in the inside corner, care being
taken to renew it from time to time. Many
persons are unaware OF the great importance
ofhaving their piano kept in order and only
tuned by competent tuner a new piano
should br tuned at least once every three or
four months during the first year, and at
longer intervals afterward.- WWstcd! Joulnak

other companies. In 1913 Rogers STREET. had
become Major of one of the two battalions

There is not 4 word in the papers stating
the strength OF the regiment or of any of the
companies The militia law probably de-
tcrmincd the number Of men to be enrolled
in each, though no doubt the actual strength

Use Of the MOsanit0.

The use Of the mosquito has ut last been
discovered. Prof Webster says that injur-
ious organic matter in the water, instead of
decomposing and poisoning people, is chang
ed into "wiggle tails" which in due time be-
come mosquitoes, and the winged matter
flies away, leaving the water purified to the
extent of their ability to remove the impur-
ties. If fish are kept in the water they eat
the "wigglc tails" and grow large enough to
serve as food for man. Thus the poisonous
ingredients of impure water become health
lul food. Without mosquitoes, most marshy
land would be dangerously insaluhrious

For years Indian arrowheads have been
found in such numbers on the shores of Ban
tam Lake, in Connecticut that antiquarians
thought that battle must have been fought
there once. Recently workers digging there
found confederation of the battle theory in
the form of bones of men mingled with rare
Indian weapons. Apparently the men had
been buried in sitting posture, and one
grave, by its unusually large collection of
weapons indicated that its occupant had been
n chief or mighty warrior.

The Advantage of Rest.

There is no better preventive of nervous

exercise. II we could moderate our hurry

exercise, a large proportion of nervous dis
cases would be abolished. For those who
cannot get sufficient holiday the best substi-
tute is an occasional day in bed. Many
whose nerves are constantly strained in their
daily vocation have discovered this for them.
selves. \ Spanish merchant in Barcelona
told his medical man that he always went to
bed for two or three days whenever he could
be spared from his business, and he laughed
at those who spent their holidays on toll
some mountains. One of the hardest worked
women in England, who has for many years
conducted Il large wholesale business retains
excellent nerves at an advanced age, owing,
it is believed, to her habit of taking one day
week in bed If we cannot avoid frequent
agitation we ought, if possible, to give the
nervous system time to recover selfbetween
the shocks. Even an hours seclusion after
good lunch will deprive hurried, anxious
day of much OF its injury The nerves can
often be overcome by stratagcm when they re-
fuse to be controlled by strength or will.
