How to Preserve a Piano.
Chambers journal.


Pianofortes must be kept dry and free
from the least particle of damp, as
dampness rusts the strings and pins, in
fiates the felt and leather, utterly ruin
ing the action work. For this reason on
wet and foggy DAYS the window of tina
room IN which the piano stands must NOT
be left open without the instrument be-
ing covered up.
1t is not wise to place a cottage piano.
forte with the back against wall that
Is exposed to the influence of the weather
or one having chimney fiue running
through it; neither should 1t be placed
too ne4r the fireside, where it would be
liable to encounter direct and undue
heat. To prevent the keys of the instru-
ment from becoming yellow it is requisite
to wipe them with soft wash leather
each time after use and to keep them
covered with piece of white flannel
reaching from one end of the key board to
the Other. Extreme degrees of heat aud
cold are fatal to the cabinet work and
polish of a pianoforte. When not in
service it is prudent to keep the piano
closed, especially during the sum-
mer months, as the moths having
once found access to the inner parts of
the instrument, do vast damage, besides
ordinary dust clogs and is destructive to
the mechanism. In cases where cloth
lining is tackled at the back of cottage
pianofortes 1t is advisable to replace it by
wire gauze, and any opening at the bot
tom of the instrument must likewise be
covered up in order to prevent mice from
finding comfortable retreat in one of
the secluded corners-under the key
board is their favorite spot in the piano.
In country and farm houses-mice being
more frequently found IN such resorts
this is particularly requisite, as these
pernicious little creatures build their
nests with the felt and cloth torn from

of Stats of wood, arrange over the top of
some barrel or keg into which it can
drain. Put heavy press on top of it
and allow it to drain for twenty
four hours. All green vegetables which
are picked should be soaked in brine or
put through a similar press with salt, in
order TO extract the strong acid juice,
which would otherwise render them unfit
for use. Pickles are occasionally made
without this process but they are sorrow
to the partaker. When the chow chow
is thoroughly drained, it can be removed
from the press. A pint and a half of
sugar, half cup OF grated horse radish,
half teaspoon of ground black pepper,
half an even teaspoon of ground mus
tard, an ounce of white mustard seed,
all ounce of celery seed, tablespoonful
of ground mace, and finally q gill of
Dutch mustard, must be added TO the
other ingredients.

lies IN making the com bination artisti-

that indefinable charm which is inherent

The Fit of Annreciation.

1t is said that the culture of American
women. A Boston editor, commenting
thereupon, says: HThe reason why Eng
gllsh women of the highest intellectual
class exceed those of America lies largely
in the fact that they draw from greater
intellectual resources than do American
women. The universal club lite of
America, that spreads like a network
over the entire country, has certainly it's
good sides, but it is question if it does
pot greatly fail of its possibilities on the
intellectual side. If woman's club
must be "literary' '(?) it might made
profitable in the reading and discussion
of books or magazine papers that held
actual value; whereas to listen to the
rudimentary little essays written by one
or another of the members, not only is
of no sort of consequence, but is a very
distinct waste of time.
1.-The gravest defect in the lives of
the American women is the failure to
refresh themselves from the springs of
great literature. Those who do this are
largely the women in purely private d
social life, and this is where the most
cultivated American women are found.
Their time represents to them too much
to spe nd m afternoon listening to the
rudimentary ideas of an unframed
thinker Nor is this valuable to the I'M
trained thinker herself. She needs to
acquire. She has nothing of any value
to give. 1t is far nobler attribute to
adequately appreciate great things than
to create for oue's self poor things. The
art OF appreciation could be studied with
great advantage.
This bit of admirable sense deserves
consideration by club formers and club
officers. Needing its suggestions would
shorten, and modify that especial form of
amateurism club life feminine has suf-
fered from severely, and SO unnecessar-
lily, one would add. were it not that
amateurism seems somehow well nigh
inseparable from progression III any di-
rection,

talent of q high order applied to wO-
mans adornment. 1t called for the
combined genius of poet, painter and
sculptor. The back of the waist, the
sleeves and the apron are made of
gray, maize-striped merveilleuX; the
chemisette consists of gray silk CauEe
plisse with bands of gray fable encasiug
it and extending to the bottom of the
dress; the sleeves, also, being trimmed
with it. A black satin poun sets the
cachet of extreme elegance upon this
costume with which maize oOlOred gloves
should be worn.
Here again we run against the pscul-
lar notions of the enemies of the waltz
They object to the display of neck and
arms which these ball toilets call for.
These critics and fault-fnders call aiteu-
ton to the fact that while a woman
bushes at the very idea of making dis
play of her ankles; yet she unblushingly
displays her neck and shoulders in ball
costumes. Life is too short to argue SER
iously against all the "crank' notions
OF the day. Some men condemn the use
of salt in food as little less than IL crime
against the happiness of mankindl
Others claim that a glass of wine imperils
the safety of ones soul. What is one to
do? To argue seriously that the display
of pair of shapely shoulders is capable
of producing widespread evil in society
only proves to what depths of absurdity
the human mind is capable of descend
ing. If for centuries it had been the
custom TO drape the entire femals figure
in black cloth then such a display might
cause some alarm; but think OF it. from
childhood to old age, bare shoulders
meet our gaze. They are almost as COM
mon as bare cheeks. Nymphs, angels,
goddesses, naiads, nereids, fairies and
all beings OF the air are portrayed with
bare shoulders. In word, art museums
and picture galleries swarm with bare
shoulders. The church windows are full
of them club rooms are white with them,
and yet there is hue and Org the mo-
ment woman appears in ball dress.
The republic is going to the dogs, for the
male citizens will not be able to look
upon those bare shoulders and live.
Poor creaturesI Hamlet should recast
his famous expression and say: ''Man
thy name is frailty.''
1t is with no little trepidation that 1 call
your attention, dear reader, to the fourth
illustration, for you may be man; but
