HOW TO memoRIzE MUSIC.
Study What You Would Memorize Bot
 With and Without Your Piano.

Study What You Would Memorize Both
 With and Without Your Piano.
 "It is not not enough to know good pieces with your fingers. You should be able to remember them to yourself with out pianoforte. Sharpen your powers of fancy that you may remember cor rectly not only the melody of a compost tion, but its proper harmonies also. These words of Robert Schumann should be impressed on every music student Study what you would memorize both with and without your piano. Observe its character, the key in which it is written, its rhythm, meter and move- ment, its harmonies, with their rela- tions-in fact, all its developments, melodious and harmonious. Analyze thoroughly, comparing passage with passage, tracing similarities and points of divergence, thus calling the law of association to the aid of that of atten- tion. Imprint on your mental conscious ness the full tonal worth of each note and each chord and sec to it that your muscular training is of kind to make your fingers obedient to the inner voice.
 When you can fully orient yourself in the composition, close your eyes, that you may look only within, and try how much you can recall mentally. Then, with eyes still closed, try how much you can play. If your fingers stumble over passage, repeat this several times, first with eyes fixed on the notes, again with closed eyes, that the muscular sense may contribute toward fixing the i'm precision. Repeated combined action of the inner and outer forces tends to pro- duce clearness and accuracy of image and permanence of possession. Do not give yourself a greater task to memorize daily than can be ccomplished without fatigue. To overstrain your powers is to enfeeble them. If you study intelligent ly, you can single out certain phrases, sentences or periods and know where it is proper to stop. It is good plan to write down from memory what you have committed, even to transpose it at times into other keys, both in writing and at the piano, says the author of the foregoing in Harper's Bazaar. A child can readily be interested in music if taught intelligently. Let him build scales, form chords and learn the why and wherefore of each step taken, and memory will be n matter of thorough comprehension. Youth is tho timc to begin to memorize, but a well exercised memory will continue to strengthen throughout active existence.

Care of First Teeth.

The child's temporary teeth do not, as rule, receive any attention, while in point of fact the care of these dccidu- ous teeth has very much to do with the second and permanent set. These teeth should bc cleaned with a soft brush and warm water. The child usually retains these teeth until the eruption of the per mancnt set, the first permanent tooth appearing about the sixth year. The de- ciduous teeth should bc carefully watch ed, and when the tooth shows decay con- suit your dentist and havo it filled. At this stage the filling is not expensive and will save the child much pain and trouble from an aching tooth. The early extraction of the dcciduous teeth often causes the irregularities of tho perma- nent set. They should be retained until tho jaw has fully expanded to receive the permanent teeth. Teach tho child tho necessity of keeping the teeth clean and pure. The carly usc of the tooth
 brush will establish habit that will ill after years be considered necessity tn health and personal cleanliness.

TIE LINEN WEDDING.
How This Twentieth Anniversary of Mar

How This Twentieth Anniversary of Mar
 ried Life May He Observed.
 The linen wedding furnishes an ex- cellent opportunity for pretty presents in embroidered doilies and all manner of other napcry. It is less suggestive to a hostess as q ''theme" for an entertain ment A dinner to which only intimate friends and tho families of bride and groom arc invited seems more appro- priate than any moro ambitious observ- ance of the day.
 The invitations may Dc written on squares of linen in indelible ink and inclosed in envelopes of the same ma terial The elaborate folding of napkins is no longer in vogue, but the fashion might be revived on such an occasion when linen is to be made the prominent feature. Any pretty drawnwork or em- broidered linen may be appropriately introduced. Napkins folded to represent a succession of scallop shells or fans may surround and conceal the dish hold ing the flowers in the center of the ta- ble. No flowers aro so suitable for tho occasion as the pretty blue blossoms of the flax plant, but they are hardly vivid hO U@ tutCllNC. GS the table is so severely white. Bright peoples and yellow hearted daisies mingled among the blue flax make a charming centcrpiece. Small squares of fine linen with fringcd edges may be embroidered with the guests names in blue or red-Kensington stitch-in bold English writing, and will answer very well for name cards when made to ad- here to squares of bristol board by means of q little four paste.
 Nothing makes better surface for water color painting than linen, and imagination may run riot if the hostess be an artist, says The Ladies Home Journal, which makes these suggestions. Upon every dish round, fringed dolly should be placed.
 A really dainty flower holder may be made by placing slender thin glass tumblcr in tho center of a round piece of fine linen, edged with lace m inch or two wide. This should be drawn uT and plaited around the edge of the tum. bier and tied with narrow ribbon i'll many loops. The lace stands out like q 1 rufflc, making a border around the | flowers.

Household Brevities.

Try pouring boiling water over tea, coffee and fruit stains before putting the fabric stained in the suds.
 Begin grating nutmegs at the stem end in order to keep them solid.
 New bread and butter plates of silver are perfectly round but for a little seal lop on one side designed for the butter.
 The rubber rings of fruit jars will re- cover their elasticity if soaked for awhile in weak ammonia water.
 If oxidized silver be rubbed with any kind of silver powder, it will lose its peculiar beauty. All that is necessary is to wash it with soap and water and pol ish it with chamois or a dry flannel.

ALAMP SCREEN

heavy millboard. Each panel is made in two pieces, which arc covered separate ly with dark plush neatly glued in place. The Japanese crapc pictures are then glued smoothly in place. and after all is dry the front and back of each panel are sewcd together. Tho two com plctcd panels are then joined by sewing to form q hinge. and large, round brass buttons or gild"l wooden balls arc at tached for feet.
 A screen of this kind would be very pretty with panels of painted bolting cloth. or pressed autumn leaves could be used between glass panels. In the latter case tho frame should bo of wood, as tho glass would be too heavy for . card board frame

THE war in the east has sent up the p'ice of opium from six to eight dollars can. and it is said to be scarce at that figure. It looks. in short, as though opium would soon cease to be drug in the market. The war cloud will have a silver lining if it be the means of curing few thousand opium fiends.
 USpER the new tariff law, the price of domestic wool has advanced from l to 3 cents a pound. while foreign wool has de- cIined 10 per cent, not only in this coun- try, but Tn Europe. This proves the truth of democratic contention. that free raw materials are best for the producer as we'll ss the consumer.
 THE most recent report on vital statistics in New York shows some curious facts. The death rate among the Italians is higher than that of any other nationality, pneumonia being tho prevail ng cause of mortality. The death rate on marshy land is less than that on made land. The Rus sian and Polish Jew quarters, despite their squalor and their crowdirg. give the third lowest death rate ot the tenement districts. Pneumonia among the negro population is 1U0 per cent above the general average for the disease The Chinese die principally from phthisis.
 THE Due dOrleans says that he will risk his head to return to France. There is nothing that prevents him from taking that risk.

It will be of To use to him or his friends after it drops into the basket under the gullIotiue. The probabilities are. how ev.r. that his appearance in France would r-sult in nothing more dangerous to him than imprisonment. or his being cour. | teously escorted to the nearest sci port and sent back to the place whence he came. \ man sometimes loses his head without hlving it cut of.

 Will womIn ever have the courage to brush back the curls about the face: The New York Sun says probably not. Many efforts havc been made un- successfully to part the hair and draw it away from the temples, but the soft, wavy locks arc too becoming and soften the lines of the face too much to allow of sacrificing them to tho whim of the few blessed with broad, low forehoads. So the curly bang holds its own and is a blessing to the community.

Clouds.

Clouds are simply form of water
made visible by the cooling of the
air which previously held the water in
the form of invisible vapor. Every
cloud may be regarded as the top OF
an invisible column or current thrust
ing its way into colder body of air.
The comparative altitude of a cloud
may be judged, when there is no time
or opportunity to make exact meas
urements, from its form and outline,
its shape or shadow, it's apparent size
and movement, its perspective effect,
and the length of time it remains di-
rectly illuminated after sunset. By
the last method Mr.. Inwards states
that some clouds have been estimated
to have been at least ten miles above
the surface of the earth. The cloud
velocities at high attitudes have been
carefully noted at the Blue Hill OBJ
servatory, Massachusetts,, and show,
practically, that at about five miles in
height the velocities are three times al
fast in summer and six times in winter
as the velocity Of the currents on tha

Kill The Grass by Electricity.

It is said that the Illinois Central
Railroad has in successful operation
device for killing out the vegtation
from it's tracks by the use of electric
ity. It has always been a problem
how to keep down the grass and weeds
that grow along the lines of railroads,
and it's determination costs annually o
large sum of money. The railroads
have always been on the lookout for
a device that would do the work effect
lively and cheaply, and it looks as
though this had at last been found.
An electric generator, with small en-
gine to operate it, is mounted on a
fiat car. The generator is connected
with a brush made of fine copper
wire, which reaches clear across the
track to the ends of the ties, and comes
within an inch or so of the ground.
This car is pushed over the track to
be cleared at the rate of about five
miles an hour, and the electric cur
rent passing through the brush kills
every weed and blade of grass that it
touches. New Orleans Picayune.

Yet, with each morning, sweet and dyoung.
Yea, sweet and young it is, and plain

Outwits the wisdom that has lain
Long centuries stored in reverend books.
They doubt and dream; she, by her looks,
Laughs down the lie of churlish death.
