The English sparrow has forged to the
front in the columns of the press. The
sparrow had forged his ugly self ahead
of many OF our native birds OF more
beautiful appearance, to say nothing OF
voice. The English sparrow is now re.
ceiving general condemnation on &C.
count Of its saucy, thieving habits. We
only want our word Of abuse to be en-
tered on record, while the rest hold
him down. We vote the sparrow an
unmitigated nuisance, without redeem.

A POINTHR ABOUT PIANOS.
Kept in Tune by Esot Plants Grow
ing Near Esy.


The New York San says "This is the
time of year when we are driven nearly
crazy with work" said tired-lookipg
piano timer. sThese cold, dry days
throw pianos out of tune every time,
and besides, the sounding boards are be
gipning 20 split. OF course, II you stick
one end of piano up against stove,
or a heater, or register, and let thu other
end come near cold, leahy window, it'll
raise Ned with 1t but most people are
on to that. The trouble Is the piano is
| too dry.
.'You know tho sounding bonrd-the
life OF piano lis forced into the case
when it's made so tightly that it bulges
up in the centre, or has belly as we
call it, on the same principle as a violin.
The wood is supposed to be as dry as
possible, but, OF course, It contains some
moisture, and gathers lot more on
damp days and in handling. Now, when
you put piano in an overheated, dry
room, all this moisture is dried out, and
the board loses its belly and gets
Asbby, and finally cracks. Even il it
doesn't crack, the tone loses Its reso-
nance and grows thin and tinny.
"How can you prevent it Easily
enough. Keep growing plant in the
room, aud SO long as your plant thrives
your piano ought to, or else there is
something wrong with il. Jus. try 1t,
and see how much more water you'll
have to pour in the flower pot in the
room where the piano ia than ia any
other room. Some people keep huge
vaae or urn with soppipg wet sponge
10 1t near or under the piano, and keep
it moistened just IS cigar dealer keeps
his stock. They keep this up oil the
time the fires are ON

Countess Tolstoi, the daughter of o
Moscow physician, merSied the count
nearly thirty years ago when she WAS very
young. She has borne him thirteen chill
dren and was this year nursing the
youngest, as she had nufsed all its prede-
cessors. Upon her rests thewhole burden
of the management OF the household at
Moscow and st Yasnei Poliana. She con-
trois, directs, manages everything. To
the count the possession of house su-
perior to that of peasant is sin. His
family lives In his eyes In culpable luxury
because they have servants to clean their
boots and cook to prepare their food.
He lives in the house, as it were, under
protest. The countess has done oil that
she could to meet his views. They have
simplified their exietence. The merry
summer parties, when Yssnai Poliana was
crowded with gay and joyous guests, for
whose amusement the day were passed in
music, dance and song and amateur
theatricRls have been given up. The
young ladies dress simply. Wine has
almost disappeared from their table.
There has been minimizing OF the
pomps and vauities of this wicked world.
But when it comes to be question Of
abandoning everything, and going forth
to fare as the peasants, the countess drew
the line. She oouid not do it. For her
children's sake, if not for her own, it
must not be. The countess was not I'M
sympathetic to the ideas of her husband.
In addition to all her household cares,
she has ever taken the keenest interest in
the development of his ideas, and has
worked laboriously ss copyiBt and a
translator. Count Tolstoi's handwriting
is illegible to most mortals. ALI his MSS
is, therefore, copied for the printer by
his wife. He continually corrects, re-
vises and rewrites his proofs. ALI these
