\ Special Room For Sewing.

The wise housewife is she who would
rather dispense with IL reception room
and have sewing room than vice versa.
The sewing room does not need to be
large. 1t must not contain carpets or up
hostered furniture. The floor should be
stained and vanished, so that the daily
brushing up may be easily accomplished.
There should be hooks on the wall, from
which the piecebags should hang. Sew
eral shelves are necessary, where boxes
containing buttons, trimmings. findings,
patterns and the like should be kept. A
lapboard, an armless rocking chair, a
dress form and a big closet for unfinished
work are other necessaries. The ma
chine should be placed in a strong light,
and there should be Il long mirror in
which the hang" of Il skirt may he
viewed with ease.

TO PlANoFoRTE PUPILS.
Items of Importance to All Who Want
Become Successful Performers.

| Item. of Importance to All who Want to
Become Successful Performers.
| 1t is amusing how some look at the
/ Ike, board after they miss the respective
| key Pupils ought to be taught early to
! lump distances without looking" And,
another thing, successful jumping de-
ponds on the steady position of the hand.
1t is the arm that does the Jumping"
not the hand. The angle between the
| hand and the arm must not be changed
during the operation. \ slightly out
ward position is of advantage. In my
opinion. says writer in The Etude,
dumping" exercises ought to be per-
formed first on black keys and in octaves.
| Playing scales with both hands two or
three octaves apart is also very useful in
order to become familiar with the rela-
tive distances onthe keyboard.
The authority quoted says every pupil
knows or ought to know the different po-
sitions of the hand used in playing-the
low ION the white keys, the high ION
black), and the two oblique (the thumb
covering black the fifth Il white key,
and vice versa). When you have to
| change these position it is useful be-
cause easier to that do gradually. This is
done by sliding the fingers toward the
KEYS that have to be struck.
Furthermore, in all places where one
hand has to jump, while the other does
not, take advantage of the first leisure
instant to jump long before you have to
strike, and that as quick as lightning, to
place your hand over the right key ready
to strike; then, and not before, the 9th
er hand that has only to walk moves
to its proper place. Or, in other words,
the jumping hand should always move
first. y proper use of the pedal often
allows the hand to Jump in good time
where the value of the first note seems
to forbid the removal of the hand.
Our next item is an easy way to learn
the notes or TO learn note reading. Take
the treble part OF some piece and write it
down in the bass clef or the reverse. Re-
ginners ought to be taught both clefs at
the same time, starting from the center
and counting up to the fifth line of
treble, then starting again from the cen
ter C and going down to the first line of
bass. Learn to write notes first by
thirds dimes or spaces). Recite the mu-
steal alphabet in this Ordcr-c, e, &, b, d,
f, a, c, and back. Then come the leger
lines above fifth lines in treble--viz, a,
and e; then those below first lines in
bass-viz, e, c, Il: then the spaces b, d,
f and d, b, &.
An early teaching and writing i'll the
three positions of the seven fundamental
triads-ceg, dfa, egb, fac, gbd, ace and
bdf-is also of great help.

The pastor came also, and my friend
thought it would be good time while
all the friends were there and the pastor
also to baptiZe nice new child of his.
He asked me if l would mind the recep-

thing could be done to make receptions
more popular, and l thought he had
helped TO solve the problem. So the
child was brought forward 1t looked

would doit good, and l was glad to know
that it was going to get moistened up a

But I was saddenel when after the

Recipes For Shoe Dressing.

Here are two recipes for making a
dressing for shoes. No. l is as fol-
lows: Take drains of spermaceti oil,
3 ounces of good molasses and t ounces
of finely powdered ivory black and stir
them together thoroughly. Then stir in
half a pint of good vinegar, and the
dressing is ready for use. 1t gives a
bright, clean surface and makes the
shoes look almost like new.
The second dressing is for rainy wealth
er and is said to make the shoes water
proof: Take an ounce of beeswax. an
ounce of turpentine and q quarter of an
ounce of Burgundy pitch. Put them in
to half a pint of cottonseed oil and melt
together over slow fire, being careful
that the mixture does not take fire.

The new treaty just negotiated between

United States all the rights it has claimed

Cinnamon now in this country. and for
bids the coming OF Chinese laborers for a
period OF ten years. Cautiously enough the
treaty grants 10 the emperor of China the
same night to photograph and Register
American citizens not merchants. now hv-
ing IN the Celestial empire. We speak of
1t as curious because. probably, it never
occurred to anybody here that such Il
course might be desirable on the part of
the emperor But when the demand was
made for such provision in the trenty 1t
could not well b. refused. If the senate
rAtlfes the treaty. and there seems to be
