Storing the Piano for the Summer


In connection with the subject of leav-
ing household goods for the summer.
the advisability of storing the piano dur
ing the summer months may well be
considered. One of the features of the
largest storage building in this city is a
piano room, where the cost for storing
piano averages but small sum month.
If the instrument is really good one it
cannot be too carefully kept. Fully 80
per cent. of the pianos kept in this
climate, it has been estimated, become
cracked in their sounding boards after
the first year of use. These cracks are
caused either by incompetent tuners or by
the improper temperature to which they
are subjected.
The soundboard is the very life of the
piano, and the greatest care should be
used to see that it is not injured. Con.
sidering the heat of a city summer, and
the fact that an average temperature of
W degs. will serve to ruin good piano
In short space of time, it would be well
for many housekeepers to consider
whether the piano cannot better be
stored in well kept piano room rather
than left at home during the summer
months.-Boston Advertiser.

A Most Unhappy Woman.

MARY Queen of Scots was a most
unhappy woman, wasn't she?" inquired
a thin man of friend on "a Woodward
avenue car the other day.
Indeed she was" replied the other
earnestly.
"Queen Elizabeth was also a wretched
creature, wasn't she?"
Every wretched, should say, if his
tory is to be believed"
"Then there was Catharine"-
What are you driving at, anyway"
broke in the man who was being RECALLED
with the names of the unhappy women
of history.
81 was just about to remark" contin-
ued the thin man, that the name of
the unhappiest woman in this world
does not appear in history. Now I've
got sister-in-law named Martha Tabs.
and just at present she is the most
wretched woman on the face of the
earth"
"What's the matter with her-chills?"
NO"
"LumbagoY broke in the other.
"No; but you see last week her hus-
band bought her twenty dollar bon
nett
"And suppose the twenty dollar bon
net made her more unhappy than Mary
Queen of Scots was when she discovered
that her neighbor had one that cost
thirty dollars"
"That was not it at all. She was as
happy as bobolink in June meadow
until she tripped and fell going up the
front steps and fractured her skull She
is now lying in bed, unable to wear the
hat, and by the time she can wear it it
will probably be out of fashion. tell
you it is sad to watch her looking tear
fully at that bonnet, which she has had
adjusted to bedpost. Talk about the
unhappy women of historyl Why, she
is more unhappy than any ten of them
put together. Detroit Free Press.

Days Chosen by Suicides.

Years ago the great apostle of pessimism
noticed that June was the favorite month
for marrying and committing suicide. As
he thought one was about as bad as the
other, it seems evident that he believes
one cause would account for the frequency
OF both occurrences in "the month of
leaves and roses" Whether such is the
fact or not, it is certain that there are gem
orally more suicides in June than dur.
ing any other month of the year, and few
of them are committed on rainy or what
are known as dark and unpleasant days.
The Fourth Of July, Thanksgiving day,
Christmas and New Years day. as well as
the evenings preceding them, are also
favorite times for committing suicide.
To these may be added the anniversary Of
ones birth or marriage. Chicago Journal.

Bothered Over American Terms.

The French newspapers have been much
bothered in the dispatches about the
American silver question by such terms
as "silver senator" and "silver congress-
man." The French word for silver, ar
gent, means money as well, and it is not
permissible in French to make a noun
into an adjective. The difficulty has
been overcome by coming the term lar
gyrophile," which is now applied to all
Americans who favor silver.-Paris Let

MANY MILES IN A CANOE.

Warburton Pixies Exploration Into the In
terror of Alaska.
Warburton Pike, the English explorer,
has arrived at Nanaimo, B. c., from the
interior of Alaska, having made jour-
ney of over 1000 miles in a small canoe.
He left Victoria, B. c., a year ago last
July for Fort Wrangle, and thence pro-
ceeded to Stikeen river in a canoe through
the Cassair country and followed the
Dease river as far as the junction with
the Laird tributary of the Mackenzie
river. There he spent the winter hunt
ing big game. Late in the winter Pike
started out with dog sled for Francis
lake, which he crossed, and thence made
the portage to the Pelly lakes, getting
into country never before explored by
white man.
Spring had set in by the time the
Pelly lakes were reached, and crossing
there Pike followed the Pelly river to
it's source. On his return he followed
the Pelly river to Lewis river, which he
followed to the Yukon. He then began
continuous journey of $500 miles,
which lasted for two months He left
the Yukon river near the coast and made
a portage to Kuskoquin river and thence
made his way around the coast to Fort
Alexander. the trip having lasted 10
months.
During the whole time he met with no
accident He used the same canoe all
through. 1t weighs only 100 pounds and
is II feet long, Mr.. Pike formed a very
poor opinion of the interior of Alaska.
He says it is absolutely worthless ex-
cept for hunting. Game of all kinds is

A FRATD OF HIGHER TAXES.

We have heard various reasons for
the agricultural depression in the coun-
try, some Of them good and some not
good but the widest notion we have
heard yet was expressed few days ago
on the subject Of taxation
We have it from good authority that
a farmer in this section said recently
that he has been Withholding manure
from his land on purpose. He thinks
If he puts much manure on his land 1t
will produce better crops and as his
crops grow heavier his land will be
assessed accordingly, and SO his taxes
will be higher And this tax.fearing
farmer said to another man who is
improving his land and raising good
crops:
"You better mind, you will have
your lands making such fine crops your
taxes will be mighty high
Impoverish his land on purpose for
fear he will have to pay more taxes if
he raises better crops But, then, this is
about some peoples idea of economy.

DISEASE IN MILK.

1t may seem at first a trif1ing sug-
gestion, but wnen properly studied it is
more important than many suppose.
Dairymen and others who sell milk
to the public, as we'll as persons who
furnish milk to their own families, can
not be two careful with "the milk
things" Besides the nauseatin e
thought of dirty milk pans and strain
ers and the like, there is possibility OF
disease growing out of the careless
handling of them. Every utensll used
in milking, straining and making but
ter ought to be kept perfectly clean.
A thunder cloud" in the bottom of a
glass OF milk is not sickening in mag
nation only, but Is so In reality.
