A PROBLEM IN PIANO TOUCH.
How Far Does the Individual Affect
the Tone of the Instrument.

the Tone of the Instrument.
An animated and interesting discussion
has been going on in musical circles over
the heterodox theory recently announced
by a prominent Boston teached that touch
has nothing to do with the quality of tone
on a piano. as the mechanism moves in
precisely the same manner for all and that
all the fingers can do is to strike the key
with more or less force according to the
loudness of the tone desired while canti-
bile or staccato effects are obtained by the
blending of chords by the pedal. This un-
orthodox doctrine has, Of course, met
with vigorous opposition from those who
hold that the mechanism does not alto
gether cut the case with the old instru
ment of the spinet type, in which the
string was mechanically plucked by a
quill.
to lie about midway between these dis
putants. To show that tone quality is net
dependent solely on the management of
the pedal it is only necessary to note
list obtains without any use of the pedal
whatever. How it is done is still mys-
ferrous, but even though the stroke of the
mathematical formula of velocity and force,
even these simple elements are capable
of transmitting personality.
ali quality is ultimately capable of ex-
preston in terms of quality? What is the
difference between the full resonant ring
of great violinist's strings and the
wretched scrapings of a country fiddler,
but a matter of velocity, angle and power,
in drawing the bow, all of them mathe-
matical quantities? The piano is not a
responsive Instrument like, the violin or
the voice, but even its cold and clumsy
mechanism is capable of transmitting
something of the quality of the player.
At the same time there can be no Ques-
ton that the thing which lies al the
very foundation Of the modern art of
piano playing is the pedal. In the hands
of master like Paderewski it is even more
important than the keyboard 1t is this
more than anything else which makes
the results of all mechanical substitutes
for the piano for practicing SO unsatis-
factory. No matter how true and clear
may be the stroke of the fingers, without
the intimate cooperation of the pedal
there is no soul. 1t has been, suggested
classes-virtuosi, or experts with Che
fingers, and artists, or experts with the
pedal. This however. involves a new de-

LIVES OF JAPANESE WOMEN.
Their Lifelong Duty Is Complete
Submission to Mankind.

After all the discussion caused by
the advanced woman, it is interesting
by way OF contrast, to turn to the coun-
try where woman's lifelong and chief
duty is obedience and submission. The
japanese woman is really charming,
not as a responsible woman. but as a
feminine curio AS a wife she is of so
little account that from the most de-
voted husband she expects but few fa-
vors. All the women are born with a
natural courtesy. Even the humblest
have slender, delicate hands. and ar
range everything with surprising dam
tiness.
A Japanese lady's visiting dress often
costs 5000, not including her hairpins,
which are always most important
item. AS the fashion never changes,
both dress and pins are handed down
from mother to daughter In each city
the women wear color peculiar to
themselves. In Toxic it is blue. in
Kyoto slate, and SO on. Chamberlain
says: TT is little wonder that the wo-
man of the upper class is adopting
European dress, which is by no means
SO general as is supposed. 1t shows
that, to a certain extent, she has shaken
en- off the yoke of inferiority under
which she has labored. For today in
Japan the greatest duchess in the land
is only her husbands Drudge He
treats her more respectfully when in
European dress, The same woman has
been observed to walk into the room
after her husband when dressed a la
Japanaise, but before him when a, la
European"
According to the Seven Reasons for
Divorce japanese woman can be
divorced for talking too much, which
disturbs the peace of her kinsmen or
brings trouble to her household She
shall be divorced for disobedience to
her fatl1er-in-law. She must look to
her husband as her lord, and must
serve him with reverence, not despis-
ing nor thinking lightly of him. She
must not enter into irreverent famil-
iarity with the gods-neither must she
spend too much time in praying If
she performs her duties to her nus-
band she may enjoy the divine pro-
lection without prayers.
The japanese esteem cleanliness
more than modesty. In Toxic there
are about 800 baths, where some 5000
persons battle every day. These baths
were enjoyed by both sexes without
division until the present emperor Or
dered a separation to be made in all
public baths. The people obeyed by
placing a rope across the top of the
water.
The japanese are devoted mothers
and excellent nurses. but the poor lit
tie baby never knows the comfort Of a
mothers lap, for she uses her knees to

of the Island of st. Helena, tried to

duced some OF his friends to buy
up all the stamps sold at the post
office, except the five-shilling, six
penny, four-penny and one-and-

left for the public to use. He told
his friends to induce them to put
their money in this business, that
as long as he was governor the
stamps cornered would never be re-
issued. But when this news
reached England, Lord Ripon,

FAITHFUL WATCHER.
His Wages at Fifty Cents a Week
Due for Twenty Years.

Duo AOt 1"ohby 1oatS'
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Connected with the history of
the old Quaker graveyard on Fifth
street, above Spruce, is the career
of man who some day may have
a nice little bill against the owners
Of the cemetery.
Nearly every resident of the
Fifth Ward knows Florence Sulli-
van. For twenty years he has
presided over book stand on the
east side Of Fifth street, directly
opposite the graveyard gate. Dur
ing the same period he has kept a
watchful eye on the property
across the way and never while he
has been there has the never-tiring
small boy been allowed to desc
crate the now grass-grown graves
in the cemetery.
1t was commonly understood
that the old gentleman is the GUS
todian OF that plat of ground, and
the story of his vigil is known to
almost every one in the neighbor-
hood.
Under a verbal agreement Mr..
Sullivan is to receive 500 per week
for keeping the graves undis-
turbed. He has not yet received
a cent, and will get no money until
the graveyard has been sold and
the purchase money turned into
the society of Friends.
10 fol nj i,
hard to tell, for efforts to dispose
of the property have been made for
years. In all likelihood the faith
full old watcher will have himself
passe into other hands.
The old gentleman has grown to
look on the ground with a feeling
almost akin to faUherly pride, and
has made himself familiar with
the cemetery's history. He said
recently that it was used by the
Quakers during the Revolutionary
War, and that the bodies buried
there were those Of men who con-
trary to their faith, had taken up
arms, In his recollection there
had been only two burials in the
plat. Mr.. Sullivan is in no wise
worried about his bill, and is in
fact, unable to give any figures as
to what is due him. He has been
assured that he will be paid when
the ground is sold and with this he
is satisfied.
By some corporate entangle-
ment the Friends have to get per-
mission of the State to dispose of
their property. A bill permitting
them to sell was passed some years
ago, but was vetoed by Gov. Bea-
yer. Since Mr.. Pattison has been
the executive, however, he has
given his approval to a similar
measure, so nothing but a pur-
chaser is now necessary to make
the sale and effect settlement
with the faithful ,old custodian.
At 500 a week for twenty years
Mr.. Sullivan's bill would amount
