PAPER PIANO CASE.
Also Instrument Cases Made of Ivory
and silver.

From London Answers.
"All manner of articles in place of wood
have been used in the manufacture of
piarcs," says one Of the greatest English
piano makers. Perhaps the most success
full of all these is paper, of which many
pianos of exquisite tore and appearance
have been made. The Duke of Devonsh:re
has one of the finest specimens of the
paper piano, this being of French make,
and decorated most crnately with pictures
by French artists. The duke gave 500
guireas for this, mainly, no doubt, on ac-
count of the Recommendation. l suppose you
know that pianos for very hot and very
cold climates-all Instruments for export
in fact-have to be specially made, and in
this direction all manner of experiments
have been tried. Among others, a sort of
cellulose, one factor in which is actually
common molasses, from which sugar is
made, is employed. and composition made
from the chemical treatment of gutta
percha and leather pulp has been tried.
Ivory pianos are by no means uncommon,
ard the Dowagar Countess of Dudley has
a magnificent carved specimen. Pianos of
ivory are, 1 might say, made every year
and rich Spanish Americans. Many pianos
of solid silver have been made; indeed, one
was only recently completed by a London
firm for the NiZam of Hyderabad, and
piano cases have at various times been
made Of bronze, species of aluminium,
glass, porcelain. and, In combination,

The Unexpected Energy Exhibited by
Supposed Victim of Chicago Shnrpers.
From the Chicago Post.
This method of duplicating unwary
strangers in the consequences of a dice
game is a time-honored one, but despite
the warning Of newspapers and special
watchmen it continues to find an ever fresh
supply of victims. On rare occasions how
ever. Its operators find their match, where
they least expect it. Quite recently a pair
of dice bracers'' caught a promising VIC
tim at the Union DEPOT in the person of a
quiet and elderly farmer, who appeared to
be as curious concerning the ways of the
great city and as meekIy inoffensive as
any of his class. He was rated as easy
game by the industrious dicemen, and they
soon had him marking down their gains
and losses in a Canal street saloon.
The game was quick one, his friends
were, of course, confronted with sudden
and unexpected losses which they were
unable to meet and the angry proprietor
bore down, in full sail, upon the quiet old
farmer for the amount Of his friends
losses. They were rot SO we'll acquainted
with the pioneer of Tazewell county at
that moment as they were five minutes
later. His toil-bronZed hands closed upon
the back of bar room chair, the legs of
the latter were lifted a moment in mid
different directions al the same instant.
When he finally dropped the chair he was
the sole occupant of the room, and his
leisurely walk across the street to the
depot was a solitary one. He owned the
street, and, although he has been to the
city several times since. he is marked by
distinguished neglect on the part of the
gang"

A Word From the Peerless
Songstress.

Who is there in this country or
Europe that has not heard of Melba
Society has raved over her, the
musical world is at her feet, and all
the civilized world has rung with
praise of this lovely and beloved
prima donna.
Nowhere on the American CONT
nent has she a more enthusiastic and
truly affectionate following than in
Boston, her birthplace and home, as
well as the scene of many of her
greatest triumphs. is not her voice
alone, sweet and perfect though it is,
in the very highest degree, but also
her winning personality, her rare
beauty, both of face and figure, join
ed to her indescribable sweetness OF
disposition and temperament, which
have made for Madame Melba a
reputation throughout the length and
breadth of two continents.
A perfect lady, divine songstress
and most delightful companion, Mel
ba has all the attributes of endear-
ment, and to her every door in So
ciety stands wide open. She is withal
woman with distinct and admir-
able individuality, one who makes
friends readily, accepts the homage
OF society and of her admirers ir gen.
eral with the utmost modesty, never
losing for moment her naturalness
and candor, and always entering into
the pleasures of others with the ut
most relish.
One thing in particular which Mel
ba is extremely careful of is her
health. For without health, what
would all her triumphs signify, and
where would go her good looks?
However, despite all her good inten-
tons in that direction, there have
been times when, thoroughly worn
out with her operate endeavors,
Nlelba herself has felt the need of
some tonic or stimulant to improve
her voice and otherwise tone the
system. This was particularly the
case last winter in Boston, during
the season of grand opera, when
colds and sore throats were there

1t was then that she had recourse
to JOHANN HOFF'S MALT En-

declares she is never without it.
