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

Common Sense Remedies Suggested by an
Experienced Music Teacher.
With many pupils the two hands do
not strike together, the left hand usual
ly anticipating the right. 1t produces
bad effect and is in a 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 a
clock, or, better, of a metronome, and
accent strongly the first beat and i'll
double time slightly the middle beat OF
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, disconnectlng 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 its work 'by
bending it as far as possible under the
palm of the hand with the wrist turned
outward, but guarding against the
akimbo position of the elbows. In de-
scending, or left hand ascending, hold
the thumb OH its key until the crossing
finger touches its 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 well connected as when
played without crossing
| The second fault in arpeggio playing
is striking the thumb note too loudly
i'll consequence of the superior strength
| of the thumb compared with the other
fingers For IA betterment 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 ard
second, then third and fourth fingers
Another fault is that pupils forget to
continue an accidental through meas
ure. 1t is distressing to hear even some
what advanced players making this mis-
take, which is a sure sign of "a lack OF
knowledge of elementary harmony. A
beginner should, if this forgetting OF
accidentals becomes habitual, make it q
rule to stop right short in meeting al
accidental, search for the same note af.
fected by it in the same measure and
impress the rule upon the memory.

BED cANoplEs AND CURTAINS.

Recent Revival of n Popular Fashion of
Lygone Days.
Fashions come and fashions CO. and
now we find the pendulum is swinging
back again, and desire is shown for
canopied beds. The popular expression
of the present, however, does not run in
the direction of the full tester, but is
rather for that known as the half tester
i. e., bed provided with canopy at
the headboard, fl om which the curtains
are suspended.

troduce drapery, and from all one can
hear and see the plain skirt will be good
style during the coming se>A>n. Many
of the new skirts are not lined through,
but have some stiff material at the
bottom. They are cut to clear the ground
and have outside pockets placed Oh the
skirt and piped around Hats grow more
fanciful. Never We're ornaments in mil
linery SO gorgeous nor flowers more

Striking effects produced by contrasts

seems hardly probable that these con-
trasts are of a nature to please in way
sufficiently lasting to become truly fash
ionable. Can the eye be sufficiently
misled to ever tolerate white taffeta

over a straw colored vest, and to this
roomy tobacco balloon sleeves? And yet
this is description of All autumn dress
While on the subject of colors it may
be said that beige and brown are an oft
recurring color; that yellow, rose, blue
tan, suede and drab are very general;
also water green for ground color. OF
all the colors preferred for the trimming
Of knickknacks and for accessory addi
tons that convey smartness there are
three shades Of yellow, which are parched
wheat, straw and golden yellow border
ing on Indian corn. These mix admira-
bly, with poppy red, with blue, cream
and mauve.
For evening wear dotted laces over
Alpaca for travelling dresses is very
much in vogue. Such dresses are made
very plainly, the skirt having a deep
hem and several rows of stitching. They
are made of all shades-black, beige
and carmalite. Waists and sleeves are
so elaborate that it seems as if the whole
attention and time of the modiste were
taken up in their arrangement The rage
for tulle for cravats and jabots is extern
sive, and the colors are most brilliant.
The bolero jacket still continues the
fashion, and checks and stripes, both
small and large, are tremendously fash
ionable. 1t is whispered that Irish pop,
Inns are to be in vogue.
An effective and novel garment fol
travellers is the new long coat. The cut
is almost entirely new, though some
thing after the style Of mans new
market coat. The fore parts and bach
are all cut in one piece, and the Tapped
seams. coming just below the waist
give the appearance of a long back. The
skirt part is split up behind, and thu
loose fronts are double breasted fasten

A Novel Tomato Salad.

Numbered with the many other excel
lent recipes sent out by Good House
keeping is the following: Take as many
persons to serve. Pour over them boil
ing water; remove the skins and place
tomatoes on ice. Chop fine two onions
and CRATE cucumber. Mix these in
gradients, after sailing and peppering,
with small quantity of thick mayon-
naise dressing. Scoop out the cores of
the tomatoes and fill with the mixture.
Place on lettuce leaves and pour over
the red tomatoes the golden dressing.
This makes nice course served with
waters or cheese straws.

ABOUT CURED PORK.
The HAM AND BACON OF COM
MERGE.

Their Superiority Over the Home Products.
These Staple Articles In the Great Cur
ing establishments.
The United States is the greatest hog
producing country. The home market
increases one-third during the summer
months. while the foreign demand al
most doubles. About April the farmer
supply of home cured pork, ham and
bacon is consumed. Then the great cur
ing establishments supply country
towns. The opening of summer resorts,
the picnic epidemic, add another impe-
tus to trade. That and apartment house
living have greatly increased the demand
for all sorts of preserved food. Despite
the skill with which meat delicacies are
now preserved, ham and bacon have a
staple claim upon the American stom-
ach.

cass Of pork is not without interest
No /, neck pieces; No. 2, loin, or "spare
rib" No. 3, shoulders; Nos. 4, 4,
breakfast bacon; No. 5, ham. The ham,
bacon strips and loin are all choice cuts
The others make only cheap meats
Remarkable is the effect of smoke and
the rest Of the curing process on the
pig. The process transforms it, espe-
cially the fat part. Bacon has come
to be the rival of codliver oil as a
cure for consumption. The home cured
ham and bacon of the old time farmer
find little favor with the modern house
keeper. They lack the flavor of the
goods prepared by our great manufac'
turers
Cut from the freshly slaughtered ami
NAL, hams arrive daily at the large can
ming houses of the east and west. An
even temperature Of 40 degrees is re-
quired to cure all meats. This mild
winter temperature is uniformly kept
the year round in the curing rooms,
which are generally 80 feet under
ground. Desired temperature is secured
now by wonderful refrigerating sys-
. tenn, in which ammonia is expanded by
the application of steam heat into gas
and then compressed again into liquid
form. One of these changes develops a
high degree Of heat, which is carried off
by a flood of running water. The second
process liberates balancing degree OF
cold, and this is used to chill chemical

solution, practically unfreezable, to a
zero temperature This cold brine may
be pumped through miles of pipe, chill
ing the rooms through which it passes
by radiation, just as buildings are heat
ed by steam. Throughout the process the
same ammonia is used continuously
without perceptible loss Silently, save
the slight click of the pistons of the
steam pump, this wonderful machine
performs it's Aladdin work.
In large stone watts fresh hams under
go the chilling" process. The gases,
commonly called animal heat, are ex-
tracted from the flesh. For weeks each
joint of the ham lies in solution of
salt, granulated sugar and other ingre-
dients-a secret formula perfected by
long experience and variously utilized
by makers of different brands When
the meat is thoroughly impregnated
with the salt, it is said to be ''cured. :"
Washed in cold water, it is then ready
for the process of smoking
Cured and smoked, - every ham,
every bacon, has its own modiste. The
yellow hesmeared muslin bag in which
the home cured product concealed it's
greasy countenance has given place to
the light burlap, made of jute, plant
of the Indies and woven in Scotland
The cutter, with huge shears, clothes
the ham, lays it on the cloth and out
lines it with great dexterity. while
swift fingers sew it into t. shapes with
which we are familiar
Comparatively few housekeepers
choose ham intelligently. There are
three cardinal points to be observed: l.
Avoid too lean joint. Let it be well
rounded and plump and see that the
skin is thin and pliable. Remember
that, while little extra fat is loss III
weight, it is gain in the superior
qualities of every other ounce of the
meat. 2. Choose freshly cured hams.
The modern process makes new cured
hams possible every day in the year
The more recently the joint has come
from the curing cask the better it will
taste, for hams do not improve with
age g. The size of the ham has much tc
do with the way in which it should be
served A whole ham will boil more sat
isfactorily than part of it, For broil
ing or frying never use ham CT less
than IA pounds, and one weighing L;
Or 6 pounds is preferable. Only the cen
ter of such ham should be sliced.
The slices should never be cut more
than one-fourth of an inch thick. One
sixth of an inch is better. A very SHARP
knife must be used. Trim very closely
