PIANOS GET SICK.

Lack of Exercise OF Too Much Work VIII
Throw Them or.
From the Boston Post.
Sometimes piano gets sick, }" said an
expert tuner to Post man. This
weather seems to give them the grip.
Pianos, you know, have feelings the
same as anybody. Didn't you know
that? Well they have. This piauo |
have Just doctored was not go much out
of tune as it was sick-run down. 1t had
caught cold from change Of tempera-
ture There has been sort OF epidemic
lately, and ever 80 many pianos have
had to take treatment. There are two
other complaints common with pianos:
One is a lack of exercise, and the other
is overwork."
"About how much exercise should a
piano get?"
In most casee from one to two hours a
day to keep it in the best of health. More
than two hours day slowly caps piaEo
of its vital energy. Another thing about
piano is that it has to breathe. This
fashion of smothering piano in clothes
Il mean dfaperes and such things
banging down their backs-isn't any
better for it than to jam it close up
against the wall. A piano should stand
two or three inches out from wall, sc
at it can get plenty of air. How can a
piano be expected to be reasonable, I'd
like to know, il it isn't treated like one
OF the family, and if it isn't attended tc
when it complaints"
"Why isn't piano.tuning just the bus
mess for women" the music physician
was asked.
"Well," he replied thoughtfully, SO
far as the hours and the physical labo
are concerned the business is just thu
thing for women, but, although the,
have the ear, somehow they don't catcl
the science OF it or the spirit of it. The.
don't seem to get into sympathy with
piano. suppose it must be good dea
, like the difference in doctors. Some @
'em understand you and you think yo
are going to get we'll, and you do &c
, we'll while others, who have just

CHARLIE WHITES BAD LUCK.

Attacked and Nearly Killed by Cellmate
In the Penitentiary.
There was bloody fight in prison
cell of the Oregon state penitentiary Fri
day night. That evening two convicts
had little disagreement over reading a
newspaper, but when they went to bed
nothing was thought of their quarrel
Charles White, serving year term from
Umatilla county, occupied a lower berth
in the same cell with j. II. johnson,
from Oregon City. White fell asleep and
was awakened by Johnson, who was on
top of him, sashing at his face and throat
with sheeriron knife, which convicts
are permitted to have in their cells.
White received several serious cuts about
the face and body, and in grabbing the
knife, was cut many times on the hands.
The men struggled and rolled out OF bed,
White in the meantime shouting "mur-
der' at the top of his voice. The tumult
brought the guard to the rescue, and
upon opening the cell door he found the
men fighting on the floor, one bleeding
like a hog at a slaughter pen. johnson
was removed to a dungeon where he IL
still confined, while White was taken te
hospital, where he will be for some
| daye,

Indians, during which he was killed and
at the same time killed one Of the other
Indians. Several years later one OF the
surviving Indians died. The Indian

years old and knowing from his mother

smiling pleasantly before his victim, sud

his coat, and slashed him across the
body, from the effects OF which wount
the murderer of his father died in VERY

Blood supply.
Painting lie caused by an interruption
of the supply of the blood to the brain.
The head, says the Hospital, must be
lowered Immediately. Often laying the
person down will revive her without
other measures. The head may be al
lowed to hang over the eide of the couch
for few minutes. Smelling salts may
be held to the nose and heat applied over
the heart to stimulate it's action.
Open window or outer door to admit
plenty of fresh air. and unfasten the
clothing to permit circulation OF the
blood. In severe cases, where uRcon-
seriousness is prolonged, a mustard plas
ter may be placed over the heart. If the
breathing stops, artificial respiration can
be begun. 1t is useless to try to give
stimulants by the mouth unless the per-
son is sufficiently conscious to be able to
swallow. The attack usually passes of
in few minutes, but the patient should
be made to lie still and be kept quiet fol
some time after 1t.

Mrs Lease and Masonry.
-, tho MIpauh 40 Ionrnat

From the Milwaukee, JOURNAL.
1t is fortunate for Mrs. Lease that she
did not live in those days of the past
when many people outside the Masonic
order really believed that every traitor to
the order was punished with death,
which was also the portion Of every per-
son who became possessed in an unau
thorized manner OF secrets of the order.
Away back in the Morgan times her
avowal would have never been made, and
she would have missed a chance for no
toriety. The very fact that che can go
about the country claiming to be poe
sessed Of those secrets, and without being
disturbed by the members OF the order
is ono which shows the progress OF gen
sral intelligence in this respect.

An Absurd Statement.
From the Kansas City Star.


The report that has been sent out from
Kansas that scheme is we'll under way
there for forcing u rise in the value Of
wheat by blowing up rs per cent Of the
growing crop and planting the ground in
corn is 80 palpably absurd that it hardly
demands contradiction though it has been
circulated upon what claims to be tfust-
worthy authority. In the first place the
expense Of such an operation would be 20
great as to more than over-balsnce any
possible advance in the value Of wheat.
And then the idea that portion Of the
farmers in single state could influence
the market by destroying . fraction Of
their crops 10 quite ridiculous to merit
in Kansas must be running short Of ma
