FAULTS IN PIANO PLAYING.
Common Sense Remedies Suggested BY IN
Experienced Music Teacher.

Common Sense Remedies Suggested BY IN
Experienced Music Teacher.
With many pupils the two hands do
! not strike together, the left hand usual
~ anticipating the right. 1t produces
bad effect and is in measure caused by
sluggish, singing way of counting
time. To remedy this common fault
Professor Held says in The Etude: Set
your music nerves in strict rhythmical
motion by counting aloud measure or
two before playing Make your counts
short and crisp, initiating the click OF
clock, or, better, Of a metronome, and
accent strongly the first beat and IN
double time slightly the middle beat OF
a measure. Scales and unison passages
should be practiced with varying accent
in groups of 3, 4, 6, etc., notes, watch
ing carefully by sound-not by sight
the simultaneous striking by both hands.
In playing pieces with bass notes and
chords accompanying melody in the
right hand, do, not consider it graceful
or sentimental to anticipate the notes
of the melody by the accompaniment. 1t
is bad taste.
In playing broken chords beyond one
octave two serious faults are frequent
~ encountered-viz, disconnecting the
sounds at the crossing of the thumb un-
der the fingers or Of the fingers over the
thumb. In correcting this, have the
thumb always ready for it's work by
bending it as far as possible under the
palm of the hand with the wrist turned
hr,% rv,,opairp onoincf tho
akimbo position Of the elbows In de-
scending, or left hand ascending, hold
the thumb on it's key until the crossing
finger touches it's key. A good prepare
tory exercise is to practice with only
four notes.-the two preceding and the
one following the crossing. Continue
this practice until the four notes sound
as even and we'll connected as when
played without crossing.
The second fault in arpeggio playing
is striking the thumb note too loudly
in consequence Of the superior strength
Of the thumb compared with the other
fingers. For a better1nent the second
part of the above exercise will overcome
this evil. Oscar Raft, the renowned
technique master Of Berlin, drills his
pupils to use the thumb in crossing
without sounding the note going up,
and even with alternating thumb and
second, then third and fourth fingers.
Another fault is that pupils forget to
continue an accidental through meas
ure. It is distressing to hear even some
what advanced players making this mis-
take, which is sure sign Of lack Of
knowledge of elementary harmony: A
beginner should, if this forgetting Of
accidentals becomes habitual, make it a
rule to stop right short in meeting an
accidental, search for the same note at
fected by it in the same measure and
impress the rule upon the memory.

ENGLISH Fruit Pic.

When it is desired to make fruit
pie, by all means adopt the English
fashion of an abundance Of fruit and
very little pastry.
For such pies deep dish, filed to
the brim with fruit and with no lower
crust, is the ideal. 1t far surpasses the
usual plan Of thin layer Of apples, ber-
ries or other fruit between two crusts.
This, by the way, is not accepted in
England as pie, but is called tart,
no matter what its circumference may
measure.

MISTAKES OF MORTON.

Has He Not Recognized Organized Labor:
A Few Questions Asked.
The secretary of agriculture is always
in hot water. The Typographical union
had a little bone to pick with him, and
just before sailing for Europe two weeks
ago he gave orders to have the matter
fixed up "unoffioially." Commenting
on this The Evening Star, Washington,
said:
It is stated at the department Of ag-
riculture that the secretary does not
propose to recognize any private organ
ization or combination in connection
with the government work. He has de-
clined to receive suggestions or in any
way permit it to be intimated that no
has official cognizance Of the existence
Of labor organizations.
Now, the matter Of difference between
the secretary and the Typographical
union is their own affair, but what de-
fensible spite against labor has this Mr..
Morton, and is it really true that he has
consistently abstained from shedding
the bright light of his official recogni
ton upon laboring organizations in all
cases? Did he not officially acknowledge
the existence of the Patrons of Husband
~ when he in his notorious speech be-
fore the agricultural congress at Chica-
60, copies Of which were SO widely Cir
culated by his own egotistical enter
prise, sneered and jeered at the pro-
motors and members of the organization
which had made the head of his depart
ment a member of the presidents cabi
net? Has he not even condescended to
pay official attention to the Grand Army
Of the Republic? When he came into
official power, there were carried on the
rolls Of the department of agriculture
at Washington the names Of a great
many wearers Of the bronze button. Are
there five Of these who have not since
been discharged by him or made to sui
fer reduction Of salary? Are not Ameri-
can laborers worthy of their hire? Are
not the union printers and thu, repre-
sentative farmers of the American Un-
ion earning their honest wages? Is the
good of their organized labor real in
jury to organized capital? And who
will say why the union men who re-
Gently met at Pittsburg should not for
their work receive the kindest consider
alton? Does Mr.. Julius Sterling Morton
rate these three classes among the lower
ones and as unworthy Of official notice?
Are they made up of bad citizens: Do
they form and support Sugar and such
like trusts and vote for perfidy ard dis
honor and an income tax? Evidently
they do not in Maine or Vermont. If
they do elsewhere. we shall soon know
it. All together there are good many
of them. The Patrons of Husbandry
keep their numbers secret, but it is safe
to estimate that the order has nearly
1000, 900 members. The roster of the
Grand Army shows $50, O83 members in
good standing. The Typographical I'M
ion has membership Of approximately
DO, 900, according to the latest official
reports.
Grover Cleveland Numbered sadly
when he appointed to the high Office of
secretary Of agriculture a man who has
bitterly disappointed the farmers Of our
land. But then he won't last long.

 The subject of Missions, Eduea- tion and Temperance were discuss ed at length, and showed that lib- eral collections for these purposes had been made, and reports of the work along these lines were very encouraging. A deep, fervent spirituality characterized the ses- sion of the Association through out the meeting and it was pro nounced to be the best session for many years past. The Associa- tion completed it's labors Monday evening and adjourned to meet at Mason's Hill in Chieot county rext year at the usual time of its annual session.
