Care of Pianns.

Pianos that are used in private houses
should be tuned at least twice year
once In summer and once in winter. No
piano can be kept at concert pitch I'M

When the pitch is raised only hall

to the pressure on the frame. A piano
should not be left open after it is used.
unless one is willing to send often for
the tuner. The Accommodations of dust
that are found on the sounding board
collect easily from the furnace or coal
stove in winter, and from the street IN
summer. An open piano, however, is a

Protective Resemblance in Crabs.

In all animate nature we find what are
termed protective Resemblance. In
other words, an animal that constitutes
a tidhit to certain fishes resembles some
thing that is not in such demand, and so
escapes. A most remarkable example of
this is found in the Saragossa Seattle
vast mass of seaweed in the Atlantic that
appears to be held in place by the var
ious currents which sweep around it
where almost all the crabs are of the ex-
act tint of the weed, rich olive, light
or dark as the case may be. One crab
especially was 50 perfect in its mimicry
that have overlooked specimens not a
foot away, the discovery being made by
their movements, the raising of leg or
claw above the surface. Every living
creature in this weed is mimic, finding
protection in its colors and tints from
the many birds that fly over it in search
of prey. Some crabs are not satisfied
with their resemblance 10 seaweed, so
they forthwith proceed to plant it upon
their backs, so that they resemble rocks
covered Nth weed. Some years ago
kept several of these crabs in au aquar-
ium, suppossing at the time the growth
of weed was an accident. But one day,
wishing to make a drawing OF the crab,
I cleaned It's back with finger brush
and returned it to the water Almost
Immediately the crab seemed to realize
it was in an exposed condition, and be-
gan at once to remedy the defect. With
its biting claws it bit off small pieces of
seaweed, pressed the end to its mouth,
evidently attaching some adhesive secre-
ton, ard then raised the claw over its
back and pressed the broken edge of the
twig to it, where it would remain. An
other branch was attached in the same
way, and so on, until the back of the
crab began to look like a moss covered
rock again. This operation / observed
on several occasions, and while it may be
instructive it certainly requires no little
ought or something very much like it

It is not difficult TO imagine that the
goddess Of liberty smiled gently and
indulgently as they made their way up
the walk to the capitol Aud when
they entered the hall where the whisper

to pause as if they had heard Cupid
flap bis wings. The moment of interest
didn't seem TO attract them much and
at last they found a coy nook behind

from even the stare of the stairway's

APPLES FOR NILcn COWS.

G. H. Herrick, Worcester County,
Mass, asks. evil feeding apples dry
Ut a cow" 1t is remembered when it
was common to denounce the feeding Of
cats to mich COWS lest it would dry up
the milk. Chemistry has settled this
doubt, added to common sense. There
is much excellent nutriment in apples.
But alone, apples are not perfect food.
Therefore, apples should be fed with
meals, hay and grain. Apples will pro
duce plentiful supply of thin milk, but
being deficient IN fat require albumi-
noids and fats or starch to make rich
milk and much butter. Apples, cooked
and raw, are an excellent adjunct to cat
tie FOODS and folders: There is nothing
50 greedlly sought for as apples by milch
cows. AS in the human subject so in
animals, whatever is grateful to the taste
is generally healthful and desirable food.
Persons, especially young ones, thrive
on apples, pears, peaches, grapes and
Other fruits. Fruit is both grateful and
healthful. Cooked apples with wheat
bran slop is special stimulant to the
flow of milk To this add 3 handful Of
Aaxseed meal ana one of pea meal, and
good rich milk and fine favored butter
will be sure to be produced. Cows I'M
accustomed to apples if fed too freely,
especially if the apples are very sour,
might have collie. Cooked corn meal,

mira hla ration for mill, and buffor aud

piles are fed to cows.-AmeTicaa Agrieai

FEEDING ANIMAL MEAL.

What is known as animal meal is pre-
pared from meat taken from the slaughter
houses, dried and ground. 1t is excel
lent for all kinds of poultry, and especial
ly for laying ducks. Avoid feeding it
too literally. A half pound, once day,
for dozen hens, is ample, where the
hens have access to green food. Much
of the animal meal sold contains steamed
bone, and is therefore an excellent food
for providing lime for the shells. 1t is sold
for about three cents per pound.-Fdrm
