THE PIANO..

The length of time for practice must
depend upon the health and the Cir
cumstances surrounding the pupil. AS
much time as possible should be given
to daily practice, and two hours, at
least, should be devoted to that pur-
pose. The best time of day is in the
morning, as the mind is freer and the
body in a refreshed condition. Diff
cuIties are attacked with more courage,
and their ~intricacies more easily com.
pretended and overcome then than in
the latter part of the day. Practice
amounts to very little if the body and
mind are tired. Persistence in practice
under these conditions-through a mis-
taken sense of duty-is often injurious
to health, and certainly fails Of any
musical accomplishment. To those
not in delicate health n hour is not
too long for a sitting. In sitting at the
piano the stool should be Of sufficient
height to bring the elbows on a level
with the top of the keys, SO that the
hands may fall naturally into position.
The arms should hang naturally from
the shoulders in an easy, graceful posi-
tion, and not be Rugged to the side.-

private, and that without the use OF
banking corporations; just, equitable
and efficient means of distributing
direct to the people at a tax not to ex

tenn; also, by payments in discharge OF

hot be monopolized for speculativepur

should be prohibited. All lands now
held by railroads and other corpora
tons In excess Of their actual needs
and lands now owned by aliens, should
now be reclaimed by the government
and sold for actual settlers only.

Dr.. Parkhur8t Calls Them "Andronn&n1-
acs," and Defines the Word.
There is an element in the commun-
ity-a small one I would fam hope, yet
the size of a thing is no measure of the
disquiet it will produce, ven as one
little piping frog in the meadow will
Guido all the crickets that are chipping
in the grass and all the whip poor-wills
that are singing In the air-there is an
element in the feminine world that Is
suffering from what 1 shall venture to
call "Andromania," writes the Rev.
Charles b. Parkhurst in the first of a
series of articles which he has prepared
for the Ladies' Home Journal, the
initial one of which appears in the
February issue under the above title.
The word is not an English one, for the
reason, I suppose, that the English LAM
guage makers never supposed that we
should need such a term. It is on
structed on the same principle as the
word Anglomania, which means @ pas
sionate aping of everything that is
English. "Andromania" means SINH
larly a passionate aping of everything
that is mannish. It is an attempt on
the part of those affected with the dis
ease to minimize distinctions by which
manhood and womanhood are differ
entiated, whether as regards their cul,
ture, their interests, or their activities.
1t is that animus which permits a wo-
man to imagine that she has achieved
q great triumph if she succeeds in do
ing something that only man has
hitherto been accustomed to do, but
that no woman has hitherto availed to
do. 1t is that animus which excerpts

were occupying the same ground, yet
it was reasonable to expect that the

Yet we loved the little gpr1te,

See his lovely little eyes!

Along whic he soon must stray,
And his life be free from care!
