Piano Playing Not Popular.

A New York paper says that piano
playing is not as general or as popular in
society circles of that ciey as it was for
merly. The piano is still found in nearly
all the houses of wealthy or well to do
people, but it is not played as much as it
used to be. The present fashion in soci-
ETY. music is for the guitar, the either,
and the banjo. Piano playing is still re-
garded as a necessary accomplishment,
but the other instruments named are
more popul.r. This is transcient fash
ion or fad, and can not hist long. The
piano is easily the king of all instru-
ments, and while the guitar, either. or
banjo furnish pleasant accompaniments
for the voice, they are not capable of pro-
ducing much musical effect Besides it
will be found that playing on them tends
to harden and distort the finger tips, and
that will prevent them from becoming
permanently popular. Probably this ia
the reason why the harp, one of the most
powerful of instruments and formerly
very popular among ladies. has almost
entirely gone out of use as parlor in
strument.-Indianapolis Journal.

dolph pulled General Jackson's nose in
resentment of what he regarded as per-
sonal affront. When the beautiful mon
ument of white marble was completed
lacking only the lifting into place of the
chaste obelisk which was to surmount it
-reverscs bcfell the generous merchant,
and he was compelled to abandon the
task. He had paid for the monument,
and he left to the people of Alexandra
tho work of lifting the handsome mono
lith into place. For some inexplicabla
reason they were not equal to the task.
For go years they left the monument un-
finished-the obclisk lying OF the ground,
to be defaced beyond recognition by the
relic seeking despoiler.
The present plan is to have a large
number of steel engravings made Of
Mary Washington. taken from an oil
painting now in possession of descendants
of George Washington living at Freder-
icksburg. This is the only likeness Of
Mrs. Washington in existence and was
painted in England. While being
brought to this country the face of the
picture was slightly damaged. Fifty-fve
years ago an effort was made in Phila-
delphia to remedy the injury, but with
slight success.
The proposed engravipgs will be made
by New York firm of acknowledged
ability and will be quite large in size. It
is estimated that four months will be re-
quired to complete the work. The en-
craving will be placed on sale in all parts
of the country at a moderate price.
Mrs. w. A. Croffut, in a letter to the
Washington Post, has urged that, as the
people of Fredericksburg did not show
enough public spirit to set up on end the
beautiful obelisk that had been presented
to them. and to defend it against de-
spoilers, the new monument to Mary
ought to be erected at Mount Vernon, or
at Washington, where it would be seen
by tens of thousands of pilgrims year,
and where it would receive adequate pro-
lection within the National preserve.
Certain it is that if it is to be built at Fred
ericksburg the people of that place ought
to furnish at least quarter of the money,
80 that they will have a financial motive
to defend the new monument as their
own l.

Negro Woman. Invention.

Ellen Eglin of New York. member
Of the Woman's National Industrial
league, invented clothes-wringer.
She sold the invention TO an agent for
SIS in 1888. When asked by the
writer why she sold the invention SO
cheap, she replied: "You know I an
black, and if 1t was known that a
negro woman patented the invention
white ladies would not buy the
wringer. l was afraid to be known
because Of my color In having it intro
duced In the market; that il tho only
reason. I am working on another in
vention and have money to push it
after the patent is issued to me, and
the invention will be known as n black
woman's, too"
