A German physician, DR.. Waetzold, has re-
Gently published pamphlet in which he de-
clares that the nervousness from when so
many young women suffer must be attributed
in great measure to the abuse OF the piano.
According to DR.. Waetzold, the custom OF
obliging young girls to study the piano before
they have attained their growth should be
abandoned, and he adds that even then only
those should be put to the piano VINO have an
evident inclination for it and who are not OF
nervous temperament. In the statistics which
he annexes to his pamphlet the doctor pre-
tends to show that in a thousand young girls
who have consecrated themselves very early TO
the study of the piano 600 have been attacked
with nervous diseases before attaining their ma
jority, while among those who began in their
teens only 200 have suffered and only
100 among those who have never put
their hands on the keyboard If the excellent
doctor is to be believed, the study OF the violin
is even more pernieious than the piano

Ii our State fails to get the big Republican
convention it will not be because of any failure
OF the newspapers to pull together. Tins is one
question on which they are unanimous such
as they have never been before. The bringing
OF the convention to California would be worth
more to our State than million dollars spent
in advertising and that is saying great deal.
Every citizen in the State is interested in
having the convention and they should con-
tribute in personal or financial effort to aid
the leaders who are working for it. Every
thing helps.-VallejoC Chronicle.

is all III line with his conduct on the Hawaiian
