How a Piano Suffers from Heat.

You know the sounding board-the life
of piano-s forced into the case when it
is made so tightly that it bulges up in the
center. The wood is supposed to be as dry
as possible, but of course it contains some
moisture and gathers a lot more on damp
days and in handling. Now when you put
a piano in an overheated, dry room, all
this moisture is dried out, and the board
loses it's ''belly" and gets fiabby and finally
cracks. Even if it does not crack the tone
loses it's resonance and grows thin and
tinny, and the felt cloth and leather used
in the action dry up, the whole mechanism
rattles and the piano is blamed.
How can you prevent it? Easily enough.
Keep growing plant in the room, and as
long as your plant thrives your piano
ought to, or else there is something wrong
with it. Just try it, and see how much
more water you will have to pour on the
flower in the room where your piano is
than on the plants in any other room.
Some people keep a huge vase or urn with
a sopping wet sponge in it near or under
the piano. and they do this as long as their
fires are kept up.
Sudden changes from cold to heat will
cause moisture, which is injurious to the
finish and will rust the strings and pins of
your instrument But a piano in a room
that is freezing cold, even 40 dogs, below
zero for that matter, can be gradually
warmed and receive less harm in five years
of such treatment than it will during one
winter in the same climate if subjected to
O. continuous heat of Is degs.-Interview

The Mile of All Countries.

Did you ever stop to think that all coun-
tries do not use the same standard for a
"mile," and what a jumbled mess we
would have if they did? Not only the mile
of the separate countries differ widely in
the number of feet and yards they contain,
but those of the same country may vary
greatly in different provinces. Thus, the
English mile differs from the Hstatute"
mile, and the French have three sorts of
leagues"
The English mile is $3.50 feet, Or eight
furlongs. The Russian ''verst" is about
three-quarters of an English mile. The
Scotch and Irish miles are about ~ Eng
lish miles.
The Dutch, Spanish and Polish miles are
about 80 English.
The German mile is four times the
length of the English.
The Swedish, Danish and Hungarian
miles are from to 81 English miles.
The French common league is three
English miles. And the English marine
league is three English miles.-Philadel

Didn't Need Sympathy.

A Tammany brave caused a furry in the
treasury department a day or two ago by
ingeniously circumventing one of the cast
iron regulations provided for the clerks in
Uncle Sans big beehive. One of the rules
NEST strictly enforced is that no employee
can be seen by outsiders during business
hours, Except in case of sickness or death. !"
The Tammanyite was very anxious to see
a friend before returning to New York,
and, upon being informed of the rule, was
for a moment at a loss how to proceed
Suddenly a bright idea struck him.
"Please say to the chief of DIVISION" he
said to the doorkeeper, in plaintive tone,
shat want to see Brown very much, My
grandfather is dead.n
The doorkeeper performed the errand
with alacrity, and Brown speedily ap-
peared and shook the Tammanyite's hand
with much sympathy. 81 am very sorry,
old man, to hear of your grandfather's
DEATH" he said. II know that sympathy
don't amount to much On these occasions,
but I am really very much panied" ooh,
that's all right" responded the New York
er; 'the old man died about twenty years
ago. Come out; I want to talk to you."--

Glacier Oscillations.

The glaciers of the Alps, according to
Herr Won L. Richter. are now showing
marked indications of increase In size
after having been diminishing quite rapid
ly for about thirty years, with the excep-
ton of transitory extension about 1875.
From the historical records of about three
centuries it appears that the glaciers have
had alternate periods of growth and dimi-
mutton.
In this time no less than eight marked
epochs of growth can be traced, the first
having begun in 1902, and the last, ex-
Guiding the slight one of 1875, in 1885, each
having been followed by a period of glacier
retreat. The intervals between the epochs
vary from twenty to fortyseyen years.

the departure from common form that

Uniniured Lions Seldom Charge

Like every other animal, the lion tries to
avoid man until wounded, and it is only In
exceptional cases of there being young
ores to guard, or from establishment at
seeing the hunters SO close to them, that
they charge when being tracked.
They charge with the same coughing
roar that tiger does, and come at great
speed close to the ground not bounding in
the air as they are represented in pictures;
their ears are pressed close to the head,
giving them the comical appearance Of be
ing without ears.-London Times.

GRACE,
Something it is like her.

Something it is like her!
The curve of the cheek and the way
The hair has gone astray,
Twining about the ear;
Yes, and the picture here
Has that look of vague surprise
That saw sometimes in her eyes.
Something it is like her
As if a painter had seen
Her face but once, and then
Striven with it in his heart
Almost in vain, to impart
To his canvas aught of the grace
Of the soul he saw in her facet
Something it is like her!
And SO it hangs here by my head,
And the light of its beauty is shed
Over my room, and it seems
That sometimes it brings me dreams
OF herself-of her fitting smiles
In these dreary, sad afterwhiles.
Something it is like her!
And bow my head even now
Into my hands, and the low
Sound of her voice comes again.
Trembling the sad refrain
OF the end of the joy that is dead
In my heart, from which hope has fed
