THE PlANOFORTE.
Some Facts In Its History That Arc Not
GeCCrallY KNOWN.

Some Facts In Its History That Arc Not
Generally Known.
On tho morning of May 0, 1876, stone
was placed in the cloistcrs of Santa Croce,
In Florence. bearing this inscriptions:
"To i5artolomeo Cristofori, the inventor
of the pianoforto. ="
Go back to the beginning Of all things
In instrumental music and see this instru-
ment forcshadowed Tho Oldest musical
instrument known, says writer in The
Etude, is the Chinese pien king. Upon
two horizontal bars are suspended Is
metal plates, which, whom struck with a
hammer, gave out the otcs of the Chinese
scale. Here is the first piano. The ancient
dulcimer was an open box of strings,
which, when struck with a hammer, gave
the notes of the scale. The psaltery is
dulcimcr played with u plectrum instead
of hammer. Mans ingenuity soon con-
s.racted n mechanical device for plucking
tho strings. Fastening quill in one end
of long stick and adjusting the stick on
u lever, or key, he forced tho string TO
sound by pushing the key up or down.
And this is the spinct. Another inventor
attached to the end of this horizontal key
stick an upright piece of metal, which
pushed up against the string and caused it
to vibrate. And this was tho clayichord.
A still more resonant tone was demanded,
and a little hammer was made and put in
place of the metal Tangent. of the claw
chord, and hero was the embryo piano.
Lift the lid of your piano and study this
wonderful mechanism, for in its history is
written the history of instrumental music.
From the oldest known instrument to the
newest, most prominent, most perfectly
fitted with mechanical neutrality-suspicious.
the Chinese picn king and the ancient
psaltery and dulcimer to tho nineteenth
century grand piano is but one continued
development of mechanical ingenuity.
Since the revival of instrumental music in
1900, tho piano has ever held prominent
place in the use of Instruments and in the
literature of instrumental music.
During the past year there were made in
the state of New York thousands of pianos
Today there are nearly 100 firms of piano
makers in New York city and Philadcl-
phia. The estimated amount of capital
tied up in the piano enterprise in America
is $780, 100000.

Cut or good sized potatoes into very
small dice. Season with salt and pepper.
Put tablespoonfuls of butter into fry
ing pan, and when melted add the chop
ped potatoes. Stir until the potatoes are
well mixed with the butter and have be-

EVOLUTION OF WhlsI.
Three Distinct Eras In the History Of ths
Game,

" - eiic AiStOry OF tu0
Game.
Whist, says tho London Graphic. is Of
English origin, but in the beginning it
seems to have been called triumph. a
name which was afterwartl corrItpted into
trump" "Ganner .Gurton's Neodle''
has the distinction of first mentioning the
game. The eighteenth century saw whist
in It's primitive form, the whole> object of
tho game being to win tricks by leading
high cards or by trumping.
This form of the game is still largely
played in the family circle Then came
the era of Hoylc, which may he said to
have lasted from 1880 to 1860 and tauoht
players to think not only of their own
hands, but of the other hands also and to
take advantage of the positions of the cards
in them. Hoyle also taught that trumps
might be more probably employed than
in simple trumping and showed that they
might be used to disarm the adycrsaries
and to obtain secondary advantages in trick
making by other suits of less apparent
power.
1t was not until $50 that the philosoph-
lcal era can be said to have began, and tho
origin Of the new movement was n knot of
young men at Cambridge known as the
Little Whist school. This body kept rec
ords of their games, but no one thought Of
making the data known until DR.. Pole,
in 1851, writing paper on games at cards
for Macmillan's Magazine remarked in a
note that it would be good thing if
model games at whist could be published.
Mr.. Henry Jones wrote to say that he pos
sessed the notes of the Little Whist school,
and the result was that in the following
year Mr.. Jones published under the name
of Cavendish his book on the principles of
whist illustrated by hands played COM
pletely through. Conference in the system
of play was still wanting, and this DIR.
Pole supplied in 1864 with his essay on
tho Theory of the modern scientific game

Filling and Trimming Lamps.

Filling and trimming lamps is a daily
task in many homes, and it takes but a
comparative little time and a small outlay
to prepare convenient place for this usu-

time shortening the time consumed in its
performance. In some corner of the wood
house, washroom or other outbuilding, put

HOPE FOR DYSPEPTlCS.
A Natural Food That Does Net Require
Digestion.
why rasLoia Increase. the we'shs.

The cure for tired back is rest. Did you
ever stop to think that rest is what the dys-
peptic's stomach necdss To live, we must
have food, and all food must be digested be-
fore it can be absorbed, therefore the only
possible way to give the tired out digestive
organs rest is TO resort To the use OF an arti-
hcially digested food which will bc ut once
absorbed without calling on the stomach for
any work.
faskoia is such preparation and not only
is il a powerful nrtritive in itself, but il con-
tains those principles which are essential TO
the digestion Of other foods in the stomach.
Within the past two months more than 500
physicians in high standing, have given their
testimonials to the Pre- Digested Food Co,
and It rs doubtful II u product has ever before
met with such general ccmmendation IT the
hands o, the medical profession,
The base OF faskola is arttfcially digested
starch, and as starch is the natural source OF
animal fat, it is not strange that patients gain
flesh very rapidly under it's use. IL virtually
rests the tired digestive organs and insures n
proper supply of nourishmsnt to the body re-
CARELESS Of their dcbili,ated conditions.
The effects of faskola are almost Immediate,
The first dose will relieve some OF tho COM
moner symptoms of indigestion, and n rapid
follows, as the result OF its bencfcent infiu-
ense ON the digestive organs.
The Ere Digested Food Co., of 81 Restle
street, New York, will be very glad to mail
their pamphlet TO any one on application.

To Secure the Democratic Conventional
Fund Provided
CINCINNATI, o., Dec. 29.-The chamber
of commerce and other local organizations
have inaugurated a most vigorous move-
ment to secure the Democratic national
convention when the committee meets in
Washington next Monday.
In addition to a guarantee fund of $780,
600, provided for yesterday. Music hall is
being remOdeled and enlarged so that there
will be good accommodations for the con-
ventfon, as well az ample hotel and other
conveniences. The city would have
contested for the Republican national
convention but for the fact it was held
that other candidates would have success
fully objected to the advantage of the loca-
ii n for the friends of ex-President Harri-
sou. of Governor Bradley and of Governor
Mckinley. AS Greensburg, the center of
the population at he last census, is only a
few miles west of this city, it will be ar
Rued that this is the most central city for
the convention. Among the national con-
veniiOns held here were those nominating
buchanan in 1856, Greely in 1872, Hayes
i'll 1876 and Hancock in 1880.
