AMONG the many singular and seem
ingly inexpHcable phases Of the Hamilton
crime at Atlantic City is the sentence Of
Mrs Hamilton to two years imprison.
ment The sentence itself is not so
strange. as that she has allowed IL to be
imposed without any effort to mitigate
it or appeal from it. In passing sentence
the judge himself put in the mitigating
Pies Of Mary Donnelly's violent
attacks upon the person and
dire threats against the life
Of Mrs. Hamilton. The only reason ap.
parent why the case was not better de-
Tended and why an appeal was not taken
is that Mrs Hamilton preferred to endure
20 months in prison rather than under
so trial in New York with Mann and
AIRS. Simpson as co-conspirators for rob
bing Hamilton Of thousands Of dollars
1t is passing strange that such man as
Hamilton could have been so deeply in
fatuated By such woman. 1t is passing
strange that Mrs Hamilton could
have been so infatuated by the broken
nosed, drunken, ugly scoundrel Mann as
to prefer him to rich, handsome, edu-
Gated. young and distinguished Hamil-
ton. But even stranger than all this is
Mrs. Hsmilton's apparently careless and
callous behavior in allowing her trial to
go almost by default when she could
have made vigorous and possibly an ef-
fectlve defence.

Evolution of tho Piano.

The piano, MS we see it today, is tho growth
of centuries of invention. In its infancy it
was harp with two or three strings From
tinle to time moro strings wcre added, and
after whilo tho cithara WIS born The
cithara was in tho shape Of the letter P and
had ten strings. 1t took many centuries for
musicians to get tho idea Of stretching the
strings across an open box, but somewhere
about the year 1900 this was thought of and
the dulcimer made its appearance. the strings
being struck with hammers. For another
hundred years these hammers were held in
tile hands of tho player, and then genius i'll
vented keyboard, which, being struck by
tho fingers, moved tho hammers. This in.
strumrnt was called clavicythcrium, or
keyed citharn. This underwent some modiG
cations and improvements from time to time
In Queen Elizabcth's time it was called n
virsinnl. Then it was called spine, because
the hammers were covered with spincs of
qnills, which struck or caught the strings of
wires AMI produced the sound. From 100 to
1909 it was much enlarged and improved. and
called n harpsichorl, and this was the instr,,.
mcnt that Lady Washington, Mrs. Hamilton
and the fine ladies of our revolutionary times
played on. In l7l0 i3artolomeo Cristofoli,
I'LL ltallali, invented II KcN or keyboard such
ns we havo now substantially, which caused
hammers to strike tho wires from above, and
thus developed tho piano. In tho past $50
years there is no musical instrument which
has SO completely absorbed tho inventive
faculty of man as the piano At tho present
day tho upright piano has the field almost en-
tirely to itself, and has reached such grade
Of perfection in shape, tone and appearance
that thero would appear to be no possibility
of further improvcment.-Nlusic Courier

Remedy for Obesity.

DIR. Lorcnzcn, of Erlangcr, has been dis
cussing the influence of liquids on obesity.
Tho first experiment was made on himself.
For period Of nine years lie drank Il large
quantity of Erlangcr beer daily During
four years of tho period the daily quantity
consumed amounted to ten lilrcs;, or two gal
Ions, ono and onc-half pints, or about twenty.
two pounds weight; during the remainder of
the period the quantity ranged from five to
seven litres, in addition to ono litre of wine
In this way ho succeeded in increasing his
bodily weight by scvcnty-cight pounds, and
appearance.
On shutting off tho liquids his weight fell
fourteen pounds in seven days. If, however,
moro water was taken, but without alcohol
the weight increased again Within five
weeks he reduced himself to tho extent of
twcnty-three pounds, the chest measurement
diminished by seven ccntimetcrs, and that of
the abdomen by thirteen ccntimcters, and the
difficulties attending respiration disappeared
Similar experiments carried out on colleagues,
who were likewise heavy men, had similar
results The disappearance of fat on with
holding fluids he cndcavored to explain on
the hypothesis that the cells whose province
it is to decompose albumen, when large
quantity of fluid is taken, now cxpend part
of their energy in the combustion Of fat. Tho
fat they consume is replaced by fat from the

Moaesty, True and False.

There arc many things in life, observes a
writer in Tho Womans Journal, writing of
feminine modcsty, that young women ought
to know of, and which, if they did know.
they would regard as great solemn truths,
too sacred to bc gigglcd over and si1npered
at; which are not proper subjects for con.
versation, but which none tho less exist, and
should be well comprchended. For n young
woman-or young man, either-there is no
safety in ignorance Tho mother assumes
unwarrantcd responsibility who leaves her
innocent, growing girls and boys to be etu-
Gated in the mysteries of life by unthinking
outsiders
Constant rubbing cannot wear off the deli
cate hue of the sea she'll, nor can the real
purity of mind, the real modesty of refined
wcmanhood be more easily worn away Mock
no:lesty is twin sister to that cancer hearted
virtue which consists in not being found out,
People who affect it are social "suspects :"
Beware of it, young woman, because it de
ceives no one, and because if YOU do not
